Chapter 394: A Loach Meal
Chapter 394: A Loach Meal
Last night's farce made the beauties smell the birds, get up and gather together, and they are still laughing when they talk about it.
Today, because Bai Xue and her mother are sleeping in the hut, the place where everyone gathers is in the carport.
"Bai Xue, don't you sleep a little longer?" Song Chunhua smiled so much that Danfeng's eyes were still full of tears, and she watched the mother and daughter come over together, and she was still concerned. It also reminds everyone that the protagonist appears, pay attention to the laughter.
"Don't sleep, we want to pick lychees with you." Bai Xue also said with a smile.
"Breakfast first?" Wu Xiao also shouted in front of the small hut.
The mother and daughter walked to the small thatched hut where Wu Xiao lived, and looked at this buddy, who was changing the water for the loaches in the plastic bucket.
"Eat." Wu Xiao said and pointed to the lid of the water tank, on which were three bowls of white porridge and a small plate of salted bamboo shoots.
The mother and daughter picked up the bowl, and before they could eat, Bai Xue couldn't help but laugh.
Her mother glanced at her daughter. Her daughter's smile, the scene of last night that had passed, made her still feel red.
Last night, she and Wu Xiao were only dressed close-fitting, lying in his arms and being hugged by him, and the place that was close to each other made her heart tangled. Especially when this buddy's body is a little anxious, if there is really no obstruction, it is completely a long-distance rhythm.
"It's delicious." Bai Xue's mother ate a few salted bamboo shoots and immediately praised them, so as to cover up the embarrassment that made her blush.
This Chairman Luo is only covering up his heart, the pair of pink and shining gills with excellent maintenance, and the two pale reds that reveal can't be hidden.
Wu Xiao is quite calm, and last night's happiness did not reach the fullest, what is embarrassing. It shouldn't be, Bai Xue shouldn't have shrunk behind her mother last night, and if it was really that in the future, getting along with her mother would be blushing in retrospect.
"Let's go, let's pick lychees." Bai Xue urged after eating the white porridge, and she was also very curious about picking lychees.
"Let's go." Su Qiaoyu's voice was also loud, and the team of people she led was still picking wild vegetables.
Song Chunhua took a group of them, and they walked to the lychee orchard very easily.
Boy! Now called lychee, Wu Xiao bought a balance, weighed it, Bai Xue and her mother were completely stunned. Last year, there were eight pounds in one city, and seven this year is just right.
"The one who pulls over will pick it first." Song Chunhua said loudly, put a long chair under the lychee tree, and stood up and raised her hand to pick it.
"Be careful?" Bai Xue's mother still shouted at Wu Xiao.
Wu Xiao's movements look scary, but they are actually quite safe. A ladder leans against the leaves on the outside of a lychee tree, and the person climbs up. Although the ladder swayed up and down, the dense foliage was too good to support it, and no one had fallen off the ladder yet.
"It's beautiful!" Bai Xue's mother reached out to catch a large handful of lychees handed to her by Song Chunhua. The reddish lychees are still hanging with I don't know if it was yesterday's raindrops or last night's dewdrops. Each one is particularly round, and the shape is already unique.
Picking lychees is quite fast, and the stalks are broken off in whole bunches, and they are particularly beautiful when stacked on the ground.
"Okay, it's going to be packed." Wu Xiao shouted loudly, look at the ground, there must be more than a thousand catties. On the first day of listing, you can't pick too much.
Packing is easier, just put seven in each small pot.
"Laughing at what?" Wu Xiao heard a few laughs, and looked up to see that it was still Yang Caixia's heartless eyes.
"No, I saw Aunt Luo and Bai Xue sitting with you, so I smiled." Yang Caixia whispered.
This is good, others are watching the mother and daughter sitting with Wu Xiao, remembering the events of last night, funny but enduring. The little daughter-in-law laughed and showed that many people couldn't help it, and the laughter of "hehe" also rang out.
Bai Xue and her mother also laughed, the past is over, why do you mention it. made both mother and daughter smile with their mouths pursed, and their faces should still be red.
"Those earthworms, they look too much like snakes." Bai Xue also whispered.
"That's right, when you first look at it at night, you will think it is a little krait." Wu Xiao also replied, and then glared at Yang Caixia. If this little daughter-in-law still lacks heart, he will criticize him fiercely.
Yang Caixia smiled "hee" and didn't say anything.
"These lychees will be sold out when we harvest the rice." Wu Xiao looked at Bai Xue and said.
Bai Xue nodded: "Then how many days are there?" ”
"Half a month to twenty days." Wu Xiao said, heard the sound of a car driving towards the village, picked up a carton of lychees and walked to the side of the road at the entrance of the village.
Bai Xue nodded again, feeling that this time should be enough.
Picking lychees here and even packaging, it's done, and the group of people led by Su Qiaoyu are also laughing and approaching, and they also come over with wild vegetables.
It was done, the truck drove away from the entrance of the village, and before dawn, the cries of geese and ducks were heard in the distance. The women's laughter is lively again, and they don't have to go to the vegetable field today because of the rain that fell yesterday.
"Let's go, let's go to the side of the hill and have a look!" Bai Xue's mother also said with a smile that she likes morning sports in the provincial capital, and she is also quite athletic when she walks on the side of the mountain.
Wu Xiao also wanted to see the rice, so he walked to the western hillside.
"Do you want to go back today?" Wu Xiao asked as she walked.
"Let's go in the afternoon, I'll leave after lunch." Bai Xue's mother also returned.
Wu Xiao nodded: "Then at noon, I will invite you to eat loach rice." ”
"What loach rice?" Bai Xue's mother eats a lot of delicacies, how do you feel that what Wu Xiao is engaged in is all with the countryside and is ordinary, but it is something she has never eaten.
Wu Xiao smiled and walked to the vegetable field, I don't know whose vegetable field it is, pick a few purple eggplants, and use them when making loach rice. When I walked to the side of the hill, I picked a handful of wild watercress and made soup.
In summer, there are still flowers on the slopes, and the most delicate ones are a few clusters of wild lilies. Below the hillside, there is also a field of broken white rice flowers, and this scenery has the purity of summer.
Let's go, Xia Yang is getting vicious, and the mother and daughter around Wu Xiao are still afraid of being tanned. Walk back to the thatched hut and wipe your sweat as you walk into the bamboo forest.
Wu Xiao is engaged in his loach rice, the loach caught yesterday has been swimming in the water for so long, and it is already mud and sand that have been excreted clean.
This guy boiled some water that hadn't been boiled yet, scalded the loaches, removed the sticky stuff on his body, and then fried them in oil.
"Why don't you fry a little dry?" Song Chunhua was about to help, so she walked into Wu Xiao's small hut and asked.
"You can't fry loach rice too dry."
Wu Xiaoyi said, Song Chunhua is also faint, how can she make loach rice again.
If she doesn't understand, she will see, Wu Xiao fried the loach, and then boiled the cut eggplant in boiling water.
Song Chunhua just smiled and looked, but Wu Xiao said with a smile: "Wash rice and cook, and use the water to make white rice." As he spoke, he scooped up the eggplant and began to cut the dried radish again.
"Is this a treat?" Su Qiaoyu came in, looked at a few things that Wu Xiao was doing, and said with a smile. These things are treated, and they are really bitter.
Wu Xiao smiled, cut the dried radish into fine pieces, and then cut two dried chili peppers and a large handful of garlic.
"It's okay." Song Chunhua had finished scooping up the rice, and blinked her Danfeng eyes dizzily.
"Pour the loach and eggplant into it together and make white rice as usual." Wu Xiao continued to cut as he spoke.
Onlookers, Bai Xue and her mother also walked into the hut, although it was a little hot, they liked to watch Wu Xiao fool around.
Almost, the farmer, the stove aluminum pot to cook rice and dry rice, that is the best. Song Chunhua didn't need to lift the lid of the pot, and listened to the sound of the water boiling in the pot, so she knew that she could serve the pot.
"Alright." Song Chunhua picked up the aluminum pot, put it on a straw mat tied into a circle on the ground, wiped her sweat and said to Wu Xiao. Below, is how Comrade Wu Xiao messes around.
It's simple, Wu Xiao is still homely. Put the iron pot on the stove, put the oil to heat, put a little more chopped garlic, and then put the chili pepper after a short burst.
Why is it so funny, Song Chunhua secretly laughed, Wu Xiao is very ordinary and bursts garlic and chili peppers, Bai Xue and her mother, the neck is stretched so long. The two of them are like a mother swan with a whooper swan about to fly solo, stretching her neck to look at the small fish in the water.
"Chirp......" Wu Xiao finally put the chopped dried radish into the oil pot as soon as he put it into the oil pot, and immediately there was a burst of oil, and a strong fragrance suddenly rose in the thatched house.
The dried radish itself has a unique strong fragrance, and when the oil bursts, all the strong fragrance bursts out.
"Incense!" Bai Xue smiled and said, not to mention anything else, just this fragrant dried radish flavor can be used as a very fragrant sauce.
Wu Xiao exploded, put out the fire first, picked up the pot of white rice, and poured all the rice into the oil pot.
I understand, doing it like this is also a very common farmhouse practice.
Bai Xue also came to play, just like the judge teacher of the food conference, and said with a smile: "It looks homely, the method is as rough as the mountains, and the strong fragrance has a local aroma, and smelling this fragrance reminds people of a small mountain village in the mountains." ”
"Yes, I'm cooking, not prose." Wu Xiao is also happy, the spoon stirs the white rice with the oil that was stir-fried just now, and it can be eaten.
"Hurry up." Bai Xue immediately took the bowl and said with a smile.
Not to mention, Chairman Luo is also smelling the fragrance and swallowing saliva, and when the rice is stirred, the smoke rises, that fragrance. The delicious taste of the loach is sandwiched in the smoke and goes straight into the nose, and you smell a sense of enjoyment before you eat it.
"Eat!" Wu Xiao watched Su Qiaoyu bring out the wild watercress soup, and said with a smile.
Bai Xue had already filled a bowl, and he ate it immediately after smiling.
Wu Xiao took the rice that Song Chunhua gave him, and immediately took a big bite.
It's too fragrant! This white rice is well done, cooked but not rotten, and it is slightly hard to chew in your mouth. The loach is just fried slightly, and the skin is fragrant, but it does not burst delicious.
"Click", Wu Xiao chewed slowly, and the dried radish grains contained in the rice were not only fragrant, but also crunchy.
Wu Xiao nodded straightly, the strong aroma of dried radish and garlic, the deliciousness of loach, the sweetness of eggplant, and the unique rice aroma of rice dissolved together. And then there was a slippery oil, and the feeling was so fragrant that he was surprised.
Bai Xue's mother ate slowly and tasted slowly, I really admired Wu Xiao, a very homely meal, but made an unusual taste. The rice is sandwiched with the sweetness of eggplant that melts in your mouth, as if every grain of rice has a loach in it. The more slowly you taste it, the more you can feel the deliciousness of the loach.
"It's delicious, I'm done eating, I'll catch loaches too, and I'll make another loach meal tomorrow." Song Chunhua ate most of the bowl in a row before she could speak.
The few who ate laughed, and Bai Xue took a sip of wild watercress soup. The strong fragrance in the mouth is fragrant with the sweet soup, and the fragrance enters the stomach, and then I take a bite of rice. The strong fragrance that has just been swallowed appears in the mouth again, and it is called cool if it is repeated like this.
No matter how fragrant it is, Bai Xue and her mother still have to leave after lunch.
What does Wu Xiao want to give them, of course it can't be done to send lychees, then send Zhusun, which is a good thing for their restaurant.
"Bye!" Bai Xue raised her hand to greet the village aunts and sisters-in-law sitting under the lychee trees, and the car ran to the provincial capital as soon as it drove away.
Wu Xiao turned around and walked towards the thatched hut, now they have to start preparations for the summer harvest, this year's summer harvest is also related to their company's performance after listing.
