200.Rainy Night (2)
Hearing the general's roar, Ao Muyang walked over and looked carefully, and then found a circle of green snails on a lake bottom stone.
Seeing this, he laughed, took out a ham sausage from his pocket and handed it to the general, he smiled and said, "Really capable, go, go and find the snail again." ”
The general went to the shore with the ham sausage in his mouth, first shook off the water droplets from the hair, then tore the ham sausage and divided it into two halves, half for himself and half for the Führer.
In this way, Ao Muyang smiled more cheerfully, and the general was now very friendly to the Führer, which made him very pleased.
Stir-fried snails don't have to be eaten at once, fried until they are put in the refrigerator at a time, as long as they do not deteriorate, they can be eaten for several days, and they are a good appetizer and a small cold dish.
So, after touching it around, he whistled and motioned for the general to continue looking for snails in his water.
Water hounds have an advantage in doing this job, their eyes can be opened in the water, their vision and vision are excellent, and they can look for snail tracks after diving, just like hounds go up the mountain to look for hare pheasant tracks.
If there is no general to help, Ao Muyang wants to harvest, then he has to go diving to find it himself, and now that the general is leading the way, he has saved a lot of trouble.
From the time he came back in the morning to eat lunch, he had already touched most of the bags of green snails, which were evenly sized and could eat several meals on the mountain.
He took the green snails ashore, and someone in the village smiled when they saw it: "Yo, Brother Xiaoyang, you have touched so many snails? ”
The person next to him said: "What kind of luck, Yangzi has a good ability to catch fish and touch shrimp and crab snails in the water, and he has touched it with his real ability." ”
Ao Muyang also smiled and said, "It's all the general's findings, and it's not my credit." ”
The general wagged his tail happily, it was very good at observing words, although it couldn't understand what Ao Muyang was saying, but it knew that it was praising itself.
The people in the village praised again: "The general is really powerful." "The general is really sensible. "Go back and ask the general to give my dog a litter." ”
Ao Muyang secretly said Needless to say, the general breeds in the village every day, and it is estimated that the village is full of mothers-in-law.
Take the green snail home, this thing can't be directly put into the pot, you have to pour a little sesame oil into it and let it spit out the mud, if you can't spit out the mud, then the dish will be finished.
Ao Muyang raised it with clean water for two days, and changed the water several times during this period.
Originally, he put it in the yard to let the green snail spit out the mud, an autumn rain came, and he got up in the middle of the night to clean up the green snail when he heard the sound of rain.
There has been nothing to do recently, he is very energetic, and he can't sleep anymore after waking up, he sees that the green snail has almost spit out the mud and sand, so he simply stir-fries it directly.
Stir-frying snails is a troublesome thing, not only to make them spit mud, but also to cut off the tail of the snail with pointed tongs before stir-frying, so that it is easy to smoke and taste.
Cut off the snail tails one by one, he first blanched them with boiling water, and then fried star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, green onions, ginger and garlic in an oil pan, plus dried chili peppers, bean paste and dry ingredients, and finally stir-fried.
During the stir-frying process, he sprinkled some salt, sugar and cooking wine, and the fragrance was stir-fried, and he added some water to collect the juice at the end, and he began to fry it in the middle of the night, and when the dish came out of the pot, it was not so dark.
Put the snail on the plate, Ao Muyang took another bottle of beer, and then sat on the ground at the door, pouring himself a drink.
The general walked over with his tail wagging, Ao Muyang patted the open space next to his buttocks, and it lay here obediently, putting its head on his lap and accompanying him quietly.
The Führer was lying on his other leg, and after looking at the snail, he was not interested, closed his eyes and began to grunt the Buddha.
Rainy night, thatched house, small table, a bottle of beer for one person, an old dog for a dish.
Outside, the autumn rain continued, and a lone lamp at the door emitted a dim yellow light, and soon a small flying insect flew in the rain, circling around the light bulb.
Ao Muyang poured a glass of beer, and the golden wine flowed into the glass, and the bubbles bubbled up.
He took a sip of his beer and looked out, and by the dim light he could faintly see the rain in the courtyard.
The raindrops are strung together in a line, and the rain is not strong, but it has been falling, and the rain is like a golden thread when illuminated by the light.
There were a lot of vegetables in the yard, and there was a circle of corn, and the autumn corn was about to be harvested, and it was a man tall, and a thick corn cob grew on it.
Ao Muyang's heart moved, and he flicked his fingers and sent a little gold drop into the rain.
The gold droplets turned into thousands of dots in the rain, and with the rain, they melted into the vegetables.
The reason why he threw out this little drop of gold is unknown, and he has no purpose, just like a little prank that a naughty boy has in his hand.
On such a rainy night and such an environment, Ao Muyang felt a little lonely.
For the first time, he began to look forward to having someone to accompany him in his life, preferably a girl, and even better if it was a beautiful girl, such as Lu Zhizi.
He looked back at the school through the window, and the campus halfway up the mountain was pitch black, and at this time all the families were in a sweet dream.
Listening to the sound of raindrops falling on the guanxiang tree, he twisted a snail in his mouth, and the taste of sweet and spicy sauce exploded between the taste buds, and it tasted good.
Eating snails alone, drinking beer alone, and looking at the rain curtain under the dim old light bulb alone, he couldn't help but think of some of the past when he was in the capital.
Compared with returning to his hometown, he feels that his life in the capital is really boring.
As a chef, his daily work is to work in the kitchen, and his daily life is two o'clock and one line, hotels and rental houses.
There he only had teachers and co-workers, no friends, and in fact his work in the hotel was not smooth, because his personality seemed to many to be a bit withdrawn.
A bottle of beer was drunk until the morning, half of the snails on the plate were missing, and there was an extra pile of snail shells on the small table.
Seeing that the sky was bright and the rain did not stop, Ao Muyang simply cleaned up, closed the door and went back to bed to continue sleeping.
Don't go to sea on rainy days, this is the rule he set for himself.
The autumn rain is continuous, this idiom is not wrong at all, a small rain lasted until the end of October, after this rain, the taste of autumn was completely thick, as if autumn came with the rain.
The trees outside the village suddenly shed a large number of leaves after a rain, the weather became cold, the children put on long sleeves and long pants, the weeds turned yellow, and only the vegetables in the yard were still green.
After the heavy rain stopped, Ao Muyang still couldn't go to sea, the humidity in the air was too high, there was heavy fog on the sea, and ports around the country were blocked.
He couldn't go to sea like this, and after resting for a few days in a row, he felt a little bored, so he sent a message to Lu Zhizi and asked her if she wanted to go climbing the mountain together.
Dalong Mountain in autumn often has abundant products, and it has just rained again, so there must be a special style on the mountain.
Lu Zhizi responded happily, she was an idle girl, Ao Muyang went to look for her on the weekend, she changed into a mountaineering outfit and waited at the school gate.
Ao Muyang was accustomed to a female teacher with long skirts and short skirts, and suddenly saw her wearing a jacket, a baseball cap and sunglasses, and she didn't dare to recognize her for a while.
