Chapter 301 Local Gourd
The anti-heaven watch of the hanging lord made several bird experts who saw it for the first time look stupid! Is this still a bird?
Until an expert recognized that the big bird that was being ravaged by the hanging master seemed to be a falcon, which was a second-class protected animal, and he couldn't just watch it being beaten to death by the starling called the hanging master, right?
I was about to step forward and blast it away, but unexpectedly, the little girl holding a hoopoe had already run over violently and kicked at the hanging master who was going crazy.
The hanger deftly flipped his wings, and at once flashed the little foot that flew in. However, after peeking at the angry little face, it wisely barked twice, and immediately flew out of the flock a flock of various birds that were clearly young.
Among them, there are red-crowned cranes, whooper swans and other rare bird young.
The little ones fell to the ground one after another, and hurried to eat the scattered grape grains like starving ghosts.
The kind-hearted Wenwen saw that they were fighting fiercely, and quickly took out some grape grains from her small bag and threw them to them.
Of course, he didn't forget to stuff one in the mouth of the squirming partridge standing on his shoulder. The hanger successfully saved the crisis, and raised his little head to look at the falcon again.
And the dazed falcon was staring at the hanger, so frightened that it hid behind Wenwen, screaming miserably.
made Wenwen think that this big guy who was bullied by the big bad bird of the hanging master was so pitiful, and quickly stuffed two grapes into his mouth to comfort him.
As a result, these two grapes made this falcon completely dependent on Wenwen, and it was inseparable from Wenwen every day for several days, and even Wenwen slept at night and stood guard at the door.
For these rare birds that seem to have appeared suddenly, the villagers should do whatever they want to do after seeing the freshness.
Except for Wenwen and her two elder brothers, who had to bring something over every day to feed the birds, only those bird experts set up a few tents on the mountain and started to study all day.
The village is calm, and only occasionally people from other villages come to see the rare birds that are said to be on the same level as the giant panda.
It's just that most people will say something or two like, "That duck is good." It's fat! It made those experts tremble!
The weather was not very good these two days, cloudy, cloudy, hot and humid air, making it as if people were in a steaming sauna, and it was hard to even catch their breath.
Fortunately, God opened his eyes, it rained yesterday, although the rain was not large, but today it is really cool.
The sweltering heat of the previous day was swept away, and the clouds in the sky blocked the scorching hot sun. The breeze is blowing, but it's a rare good weather during this time!
Early this morning, Wenwen finished breakfast and let the swallow falcon named Da Fei eat obediently, so she took her grandfather and grandmother to grandpa, grandma and Grandpa Zhang's southern special snacks, shrimp dumplings, rice rolls, and wontons. Carrying it in two small cage drawers, Wenwen came to her grandmother's house with one in one hand.
"Grandma, Wenwen has brought you something delicious!"
Before she entered the door, a sweet and greasy greeting came out of Wenwen's small mouth.
The second grandmother heard Wenwen's shout. Hurriedly came out of the house to greet the great-granddaughter whom she had loved.
"It's Wenwen? Are you here to bring delicious food to your grandmother again? ”
"Well, grandma, today is your favorite shrimp dumpling?"
"Yes. Grandma must have eaten more. ”
"If you want to eat it all, grandma said leftovers are not good children!"
"Okay, grandma must have eaten it all. Eat barely, okay?
The second grandmother smiled and took the two small cage food boxes in Wenwen's hand, originally to take both of them.
The second grandmother was afraid that the delicate great-granddaughter in front of her would be tired, but the sensible Wenwen only gave her one, and the other said that she would carry it into the house by herself, saying that she had grown up and could carry it.
The second grandmother praised Wenwen for being a sensible and good child, and then took Wenwen's little hand, held her big hand and her little hand, and entered the house together.
"Good Wenwen, I'll eat lunch at Grandma's place, and Grandma will give you dumplings stuffed with gourds to eat, okay?"
Gourd?
Wenwen frowned, what is a gourd?
Looking at the sensible and filial little girl in front of her, who loved her to the bones, she frowned, and the second grandmother's heart hurt, and she immediately explained.
"The gourd is a kind of melon, well, it's like a pumpkin, a watermelon, you know?"
"I know, Wenwen has also eaten pumpkin, it's very sweet!"
"Yes, yes, the pumpkin is sweet. Pumpkins are called local gourds in our place, and there is also a kind of gourd that is used to pinch dumplings and eat, called foreign gourds. The dumplings are soft, sweet, fragrant, and delicious! ”
As soon as Wenwen heard what her grandmother said, her saliva flowed! This girl is good at everything, but she is too gluttonous, and she wants to eat and try anything she hasn't eaten, especially when people say it's delicious.
"Grandma, grandma, when are we going to do it! Wenwen can help! ”
"Good girl, when Grandma finishes eating, will I take you to pick foreign gourds first?"
"Okay, okay, then grandma, hurry up and eat!"
After speaking, the little girl was anxious to help the grandmother open the cage drawer, and wanted the grandmother to eat quickly, so that she could take herself to pick the delicious thing called Yang, what is the Yang, by the way, it is a foreign gourd.
How could the little girl's little caution escape the eyes of the second grandmother, the second grandmother didn't speak, just smiled and watched Wenwen open the cage drawers and put them out one by one, even the chopsticks she brought to the second grandmother.
In the end, I didn't forget to go to the house and call Grandpa Tai and Grandpa Zhang, who were playing chess in the backyard of the house, to come to dinner.
Then Wenwen, the little girl, lay on the table, her eyes were glued to her grandmother, hoping that her grandmother would finish her meal quickly, so that she could take herself to pick the thing called gourd, and then come back to make delicious dumplings for Wenwen.
Wenwen likes to eat dumplings, which are better than wontons!
The second grandmother knew the little girl's thoughts, and quietly accelerated the speed of eating.
"Wenwen, are you full, do you want to eat more?" Uncle Zhang saw Wenwen's eyes looking directly at the second wife, thinking that this little girl hadn't eaten enough in the morning and was hungry again.
"Wenwen was full, I ate a siu mai. I also ate such a big bowl of wontons. ”
The little girl gestured vigorously with both hands, both hands were open, such a big bowl is not a bowl, it has to be called a basin more accurately.
The little girl's delicate appearance caused the three of them to laugh. But Wenwen didn't know what the three of them were laughing at, and looked at the three of them suspiciously, tilting her little head and thinking what they were laughing at?
The second grandmother glared at the two old men, and ate the wontons in her bowl in two bites.
"Wenwen, let's go. Go with my grandmother to pick gourds. ”
"Good! All right! Let's go gourd picking! ”
The little girl clapped her hands, screaming and jumping happily and couldn't stop.
"Grandpa Tai, Grandpa Zhang, Wenwen and Grandma are going to pick gourds, and come back to pinch dumplings filled with gourds for you! It's delicious! ”
"Okay, okay, I'm waiting to eat the gourd picked by Wenwen."
"Well, let's go with my grandmother."
The second grandmother took Wenwen out of the house and went to Wang Yong's house.
She doesn't grow gourds in her own home. I didn't even plant vegetables, but just planted a bunch of all kinds of flowers and plants that in the words of the second master, "they are all useless things".
Wang Yong likes to eat gourds, whether it is local gourds or foreign gourds used to knead dumplings. All love to eat. Therefore, outside the courtyard wall of the house, near the root of the wall, a lot of trees were planted, and there could be more than a dozen of them.
This thing is well served, and it is quite abundant. It's enough for half the village to eat, after all, no one eats it every day, although the gourd is indeed delicious.
Now the general place is in normal season. The gourd is already edible. What's more, it is a mid-mountain village, especially Wang Yong, a mid-mountain village.
The dense stalks covered the entire wall, and like a creeper, the shadow of a wall was not visible. Under the cover of these branches and leaves, one after another large and small gourds hung on the branches, which was very eye-catching.
Wenwen and Grandma held hands and walked over slowly.
"Grandma, are those the gourds?"
The little girl asked, pointing to the large and small gourds that appeared on the wall not far away.
"Well, what about those, some of them are the foreign gourds we want to pick, and some of them are pumpkins that Wenwen also knows."
Wenwen listened to her grandmother's words, and looked up again and carefully looked at the gourds and pumpkins that were under the cover of green leaves, and soon found something different.
"I know, I know, grandma, the pumpkin is round, and the gourd is long, isn't it?"
"Yes, yes, Wenwen is so smart!"
This is, hearing the voices of the grandparents and grandchildren, the godmothers who were at home, Wang Liang and Xiaoxia all came out.
Seeing these people in front of her, and then looking at the sturdy gourds that seemed to be out of her reach, Wenwen felt that she should seek help.
"Hello grandma, hello little uncle, good aunt!"
"Good!"
"Wenwen is here, my uncle has prepared something delicious for you!"
"Stinky Wenwen, didn't you say you were going to call me aunt?"
"Hehe, then if you help Wenwen pick a gourd, I'll call you Auntie!"
The little girl is very smart and knows how to use her advantages at this time.
"You little ghost, you know how to threaten your aunt!"
After saying that, Xiaoxia stepped forward and scratched Wenwen's straight little nose as punishment. But it made Wenwen giggle, and took her grandmother's hand and didn't follow it.
"Grandma, look, look, auntie, she bullied Wenwen, do you want to avenge Wenwen?"
The second grandmother smiled and watched the juniors playing in front of her eyes, and her face was full of joy!
"Okay, then Wenwen said, how can grandma avenge you?"
"Huh?"
Wenwen began to tilt her head and think about it again, and after thinking for a while, she looked up at her grandmother who was looking at her with a smile, and looked at Aunt Xiaoxia who was pouting and looking at her, Wenwen's eyes rolled and she had an idea.
"Grandma, then punish her to marry her little uncle as soon as possible and be Aunt Wenwen, okay?"
As soon as the little girl's voice fell, Xiaoxia immediately rushed over with a red face.
"Okay, you dead girl, dare to make fun of your aunt, see if I don't tear your mouth!"
"Yikes! Auntie blushes, auntie blushes! ”
The two of them surrounded the second wife, and later added Wang Liang and turned in circles.
"Okay, okay, don't make trouble, Liang, hurry up and pick a foreign gourd, let's pinch dumplings and eat them at noon." The second grandmother spoke, and then hugged her obedient great-granddaughter into her arms, so that this "evenly matched" battle stopped.
Wang Liang watched his girlfriend's little niece playing, shook his head with a smile, walked to the wall, and chose a large ocean gourd with a white skin about 30 centimeters long and more than 10 centimeters in diameter, and picked it neatly.
After that, he specially picked a big pumpkin, which is not only Wang Yong's favorite food, but also Wang Liang's favorite food. Since childhood, these two brothers have been taking this bite, and they can't get tired of eating it for more than 20 years!
Whether it's steamed, boiled, boiled, or fried, the brothers have figured out a lot of novel ways to eat.
So, for lunch, in addition to steamed dumplings filled with gourd, there were also steamed eggplant, steamed pumpkin, and the water in the pot was not wasted, and a few sweet corns were boiled.
Now corn is very expensive in the city, because large quantities have not yet been listed, and now it costs three yuan a piece, five yuan and two, which is very expensive!
However, in the village, you don't need to spend money, you can plant it a few days early, especially the special early-maturing sweet corn or waxy corn variety, after cooking, eat it in your mouth, sweet, glutinous, adults and children like to eat. (To be continued......)
PS: Thank you comrades for your tips in the past few days, the house is still being adjusted in the past few days, and many things have been knocked down, which is very hard!
