Chapter 256: Heart
The lions that Xiaobai wanted to see were on the other side of the forest, and Su Miao and Song Chen still chose a big tree to sit on and watch a good show like they did in the morning. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but when I looked at Su Miao, I felt that something was wrong, why did Xiaobai have a similar relationship with this lion group as the one in the morning? Why do you always play with male lions and ignore lionesses?
Could it be ...... In these two lion packs, there is no real Lien of Xiaobai?
"Ah Chen, do you think there will be other lions in this oasis?" Su Miao asked Song Chen, it seemed that she had to let Xiaobai mix with a few more lions.
"There should be." Song Chen looked at Xiaobai, who was playing hard, "Do you remember?" The three white lions we saw for the first time in this oasis were not among the two lions. β
"Then we'll start looking for it tomorrow!" Su Miao remembered that when they were barbeconking meat by the stream, they attracted three lions, and later she shared fragrant barbecue meat with them, but she had already vaguely known what the three white lions looked like, and she remembered whether they were one of the three lions. But Song Chen's memory is unconditionally trusted.
"Don't be in such a hurry." Song Chen asked Su Miaoxian not to be anxious, "It's only been a few days since we came over, how can we do it so quickly, although the lion is not a human, it also needs time to cultivate feelings!" In fact, it is not difficult to find any other lion packs, and there is not a stream running through this oasis? The lions will definitely live near the stream, we just need to follow the direction of the stream, change places every day, and then just make a fire and grill the meat, if there are lions nearby, we will definitely be attracted to it. β
"Okay, then we'll take Xiaobai to play after a while." Su Miao immediately accepted Song Chen's opinion, because according to her original plan, she had something to do in the past few days.
Because the peaches on the big peach tree are slowly ripening, so full of trees, the three of them eat freshly is only a drop in the bucket, even if you add the birds and finches to eat, as you can see, every day there will still be a lot of ripe peaches falling to the ground on their own, all wasted. If she didn't see it, it would have fallen off, but if she watched this waste happen, it would be a ruinous thing.
Su Miao plans to take a certain amount of time every day to pick all the ripe peaches on the peach tree, clean them up, remove the pits, cut the peach flesh into strips, and dry them into dried peaches. In this way, if you store it in a sealed bottle, it can be stored for a longer period of time. And after the peach meat is dried, it will become smaller and lighter, and it is easy to carry, she plans to take some of it away then, and if she can't take it away, she will stay in the house in the oasis, and maybe she can eat it when she comes over next time.
When Su Miao talked about dried peaches, Song Chen remembered the dried figs that Su Miao made when he was in Tianjian Peak, the very sweet taste made him very aftertaste, the fresh peaches were so delicious, and the taste of dried peaches was not bad! When Su Miao began to prepare to pick peaches, he had already volunteered to jump onto the tree with the basket he had woven from slender branches: "Miaomiao, can I help you pick peaches?" β
Someone helped, Su Miao naturally couldn't ask for it, she carried the wooden bucket to the stream to fetch water, and re-rinsed a few large stones that she had found early in the morning to use to dry peaches, and scrubbed the surface with grass leaves, Xiaobai didn't run out as usual, it saw Su Miao and they went to pick peaches, and it was smart to realize that maybe she could make something delicious, as a favorite food, most of the world is not as big as delicious, so how can you miss it?
Su Miao's busy Xiaobai couldn't help for the time being, so he ran around and looked at her, and saw Su Miao scrubbing the stones, and it also went to the stream with a bucket to fetch water, but when he was fetching water, he might have seen a fish, so he immediately put down the bucket and tiptoed down the shore to chase downstream, three or four feet away from the location where Su Miao took the water, and then threw himself into the water for a while, and in the end the fish naturally couldn't escape Xiaobai's big palm, and was stunned by it and went ashore.
Su Miao felt bad after watching Xiaobai throw the bucket down from afar, but she didn't expect it to be smart enough to know that she had to separate a distance before starting, so as to avoid muddying her water intake point, so after Xiaobai came back with the fish in her mouth, Su Miao praised it a lot.
When Song Chen arrived at the stream with a basket full of peaches, he heard Su Miao admiring himself while cleaning the board to be used to cut peaches: "Let me think about it, what have I given you to eat, how can you be so smart!" β
"What's smart?" Song Chen asked curiously as he put down the peach.
Su Miao took out all the fresh peaches in the basket, put them in the water and washed them, and looked back at Song Chen and said with a smile: "Xiaobai, it's too smart!" β
Xiaobai knew that Su Miao was busy and didn't have time to help it grill the fish, so just now, under the guidance of Su Miao, he dug a pit a little farther away, and drew some water to raise the fish.
Song Chen saw it, but he still had to help Su Miao work, he touched Xiaobai's head: "It's not time to eat yet!" And this is not enough for you to stuff your teeth yourself! In this way, you go and catch a few more, and when you finish helping Miaomiao, you can bake them for lunch! β
When Xiaobai heard this, he felt that it was the same, anyway, Su Miao's side couldn't help for the time being, so he continued to run downstream to catch fish.
Song Chen coaxed Xiaobai away, accompanied Su Miao to clean the peaches for a while, and saw that she was almost ready to take the stone to dry, so he took the basket and went back to the peach tree to continue picking.
Although this peach tree is big, it has reached the level of maturity required by Su Miao every day, and there are probably only two or three baskets, and when Song Chen's third basket is full, today's peach picking work will be completed.
Back at the stream, Su Miao finished cutting the last basket of peaches and was about to move them to the stone side to spread them. Song Chen helped Su Miao hang out, and after the two returned to the stream, Su Miao was pressed by Song Chen to sit next to her and didn't let her do it: "Miaomiao, you have worked all morning, and your hands are blistered white!" Rest well, I'll do it! β
Su Miao shook her head: "It's not much, it will be ready soon, you go and help Xiaobai grilled fish!" β
Song Chen turned his head to look, wasn't Xiao Bai standing by the puddle, looking at him faintly-
Look at the sun, it's not too late for lunch. Xiaobai is dedicated to catching fish, and the harvest is really not small, there are eight or nine fish in the puddle, and they are crowded together head and tail, no wonder Xiaobai has stopped.
This side was selected by Su Miao to wash and dry peaches, and it was not good if it was stained with fishy smell, so Song Chen walked downstream, found a new stone near Xiaobai's puddle, and beckoned to Xiaobai: "Get the fish here......"
When Xiao Bai heard that he was finally ready to eat, he didn't hurry up and took the fish one by one, and stood by and watched Song Chen clean up.
Song Chen had almost cleaned up, and Su Miao's side was also finished, she walked over and took a look: "The grill didn't bring ...... Xiaobai, you go back and get it! β
The fish in this stream are the kind of fish with very thick scales, but there are basically no spines on the body of the fish, and Su Miao also likes it, so Song Chen asked Xiaobai to catch more. After Song Chen scraped off those fish scales, he put them on a plate and stored them, and he cleaned them out when Su Miao grilled the fish, and he could make Su Miao into fish scale jelly in the afternoon, he tried it once, but it was delicious.
This kind of fish actually doesn't have any fishy smell, but Su Miao still went to find a few kinds of wild onions and the like, stuffed them into the belly of the fish and roasted them, which can not only increase the aroma of the fish, but also take them out as vegetables after roasting.
There were still a few steamed buns made the day before in the house, Su Miao took them and roasted them softly, cut most of them open, and left a little bit of them together, and then filled the boneless fish, as well as roasted wild vegetables and wild onions, and took a bite, and there was the smoothness of the fish, the fragrance of the green vegetables, and the burnt aroma of the pasta, which tasted better than eating the meat pie in the northwest of Lanxi.
Su Miao ate one, Song Chen ate two, and the rest of the steamed buns and fish were all swept away by Xiaobai.
Su Miao looked at Xiao Bai licking his mouth with an unfinished look: "Fortunately, I will make money, otherwise, I won't be able to support you......"
Xiaobai should have heard this as a compliment to it, and roared, so proud.
When they were full of food and drink, they didn't know whether it was the sweet fragrance of peaches emitted by the sun, or the smell of grilled fish, which attracted the kind of little yellow finch that Su Miao had seen on the peach tree that loved to eat ripe peaches. Xiao Bai's roar may have frightened these little things, and when they flew straight into the sky in shock, Su Miao and the others found that the peach pieces had been stolen and eaten by these little yellow finch.
"Then Xiaobai, will you stay here and watch?" Su Miao gave Xiaobai the task of driving away the little yellow finch. According to its usual routine, it is also playing outside at this time, and it just so happens that it is by this stream today.
Xiaobai let out a "wow" and went to the stone where the peach pieces were drying, indicating that it understood what the owner meant, and by the way, he swept away a few pieces of dried peaches on the side of the stone.
Su Miao didn't blame it, only patted Xiaobai's head: "Don't eat too much, this half-dried peach has less juice, but it is much sweeter than fresh peaches, and if you eat too much, you won't be able to eat at night-"
Xiaobai has been taught a lesson, and he is very sensitive to words such as "rice" and "can't eat", and he didn't move when he heard the words.
Su Miao pulled Song Chen away with satisfaction. During these days in the oasis, they were used to taking a nap for about half an hour when there was nothing to do. However, today Song Chen specially left fish scales to make fish scale jelly, Su Miao didn't plan to rest at noon, and wanted to go back to the kitchen over there to boil these fish scales.
The method of this fish scale jelly is also very simple, that is, put the fish scales and some fishy ingredients into the pot, add water, stir it from time to time while cooking, and after boiling for more than half an hour, then take out the fish scales and other impurities, pour the remaining fish scale juice into a wide and flat plate and take it to the edge of the oasis for a quarter of an hour, and it will be successful. At that time, it was possible to dig up a few pieces of ice from the snow field and freeze it in the kitchen, but it would take a little longer.
The frozen fish scale jelly is solidified like a water chestnut cake, and when you want to eat it, you can make a sauce according to your taste, and pour it on top of the sliced fish scale jelly, so that it is extremely delicious.
This delicious little white doesn't know how to appreciate it, and he doesn't touch it again after eating it once, but Song Chen likes it very much.
Song Chen accompanied Su Miao to boil the fish scales frozen, and the two of them took it to the snow field to freeze it together. While Song Chen was looking at the plate so as not to be knocked over by other birds or animals, Su Miao took the opportunity to go deeper into the snow field to see if he would encounter an elixir such as Snow Lingzhi. Su Miao's this was purely a whim, according to her thoughts, since an elixir like Snow Lingzhi could grow in this ice and snow world, would it be possible to grow something else? Anyway, she has to wait for the fish scales to freeze and solidify, so she can pass the time.
The end result was naturally nothing, but this thought suddenly gave her some plausible inspiration, which she could discuss the next time she met with Master.
Take the fish scale jelly back to the wooden house, when he just ate the fish, he was full, and Song Chen planned to put it until the evening to eat. After the things were put away, the nap was a little late, so they simply went to find Xiaobai.
On weekdays, although Xiaobai is also playing outside at this time, it should be with the lions, but today Xiaobai listened to their orders, but he was alone over there, and after a long time, I was afraid that it would be boring, so they were ready to go over and take over it.
But when they arrived at the stream, they were surprised by what they saw in front of themβXiaobai was not alone in watching there.
I don't know when, a lion came to accompany Xiaobai, and it was still a lioness! I don't know if it's because there is no choice, anyway, right now Xiaobai and the little lioness are playing with each other, and they have a good time, and they don't have the same way that they ignore those lionesses when they go to the lion pack!
"Our little white is this--enlightened?" Su Miao looked at Song Chen in surprise.
Although Song Chen was not very optimistic in his heart, he still couldn't bear to hit her, he nodded: "There is this possibility." β
"Then I'll give them a chance!" Su Miao looked at Xiao Bai and the little lioness, and thought about it in her heart - she originally planned to change the location of the peach drying back to the courtyard of the wooden house tomorrow and let Xiao Bai out to play, but according to the current situation, this plan was still canceled. Let's continue to let her look at the peach pieces tomorrow, so that the little lioness should come back again, and then they can be together again...... The peaches of this peach tree can be picked for several days, so if you play together day by day, this feeling may come out slowly! In this way, Xiaobai's gaze to find a partner may be achieved!
Su Miao told Song Chen about her plans, and the more she talked, the happier she became, as if she had seen the bright future of Xiaobai and the little lioness.
