Chapter 22: The Fiery Eel
In the afternoon, the little cow led Hulan to the paddy fields under the mountain, and the old lady was not at ease, so she asked Aunt Mei to arrange for two mothers-in-law to follow Hulan. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Because the old lady came to escape the heat on the mountain stone steps, people came to clean them every day. Rao is like this, Eilan is still wearing a light skirt, and if she wants to go to the ridge, she can't wear a complicated skirt.
The paddy fields have been cleared and the farmers are already preparing to plant the rice. The calf grew up in the countryside, and when he saw a snail in the field that had not yet been cleared, he took off his shoes and went down to the field, and the mother-in-law behind him told him to be careful and handed him a bamboo basket.
The calf's hands and feet were fast, and the snails in the field took two more large paddy fields and picked up a basket full of fat snails.
Illan was still thinking about the yellow eel loach, but these two things were not so easy to catch. The calf said that his father made it, especially at this time, sometimes he could catch a snake when he caught a yellow eel!
For Elean, snakes are a species she fears, both in her past life and in this life. The little cow came to his father, a man in his forties, with dark skin, who patted his chest when he heard that it was Eloan who wanted to eat, and said that he would send it to her early tomorrow morning at the latest.
The rice seedlings are green and green, and they will soon be able to be planted. Hulan thought about it, and when it was time to plant the seedlings, she must come and take a look.
The snails were brought back and handed over to the cook, but Aunt Zhou heard that Illan was going to eat the snails, so she hurried to the kitchen, washed the snails three times, poured wine, put ginger slices in the water and poured all the snails into it and soaked them. I hurried to my kimchi jar to grab pickled peppers and ginger, and said that she would give the old lady and Edan a bag for dinner. Illan thanked her embarrassedly, and Aunt Zhou saw that Illan was sensible and liked her more and more.
The people haven't come back yet, so they have someone bring a bag of chestnut powder and ask the kitchen to make chestnut cakes for Hulan.
When the chestnut cake was delivered from the kitchen, Edan was cutting flower branches, and the fragrant roses were cut a few for the old lady to put in the house, which was better than the spices brought by the house, which was more appropriate for the interest of this villa.
Painted orchid no longer wears silk flower beads, hugging incense and cutting fresh flowers for her to wear, walking with a little bit of fragrance, even the sachet is saved.
However, when she went out, she still wore the sachet that Huiyun gave her to avoid snakes and insects, and she didn't want to meet snakes.
The chestnut cake is sweet and soft, with an oily feeling, but not greasy. There was a big gap between it and Hulan's imagination, she thought that the paintings made by the chef here might not be as good as the Su family's small kitchen, and this was not fresh chestnuts cooked and mashed.
Two days later, the kitchen made golden silk jujube mud cake, medicinal red bean cake, white sugar cake, and glutinous rice cake...... Painted Lan is really convinced, and the chef is really a good pastry.
In the evening, the dishes in the kitchen are very distinctive, including stir-fried snails, hot and sour shredded fish, mixed slices, sour and hot shredded potatoes, lily pork belly soup, salt and pepper chicken fillet, fried kidney flower......
Aunt Zhou made a good dish, and the old lady who was raised by the Su family's cook also praised it, and knew that Aunt Zhou was capable.
Hulan accompanied the old lady to dinner, pointed to the incense, and took the cherries that had been pouring through the well water and still put them in a crystal plate. The old lady likes to eat a bite of fresh, and even the fruit is picky.
Aunt Mei fanned the old lady next to her and said, "The fourth girl is a filial person, and the old lady is really blessed." ”
The old lady looked at Illan lovingly and said, "The reason why I love this Zhuangzi is because there is a hot spring on this mountain, and soaking in the hot spring is very good for the body." These **** are too lazy to move, if you want to go, just let the mother-in-law take you there. "You are still young, but your grandmother has forced you to learn so many things, will you resent your grandmother for not letting you have an easy childhood?" After saying that, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Grandmother is not strict with you, grandmother is just afraid that she can't wait until you grow up to teach you those things......"
Whenever the old lady said these words, Eiran couldn't help but have a sour eye, and her small white hand held the old lady's hand and said seriously: "Painted Lan has never resented her grandmother, on the contrary, Painted Lan is very fortunate to meet her grandmother. She rested her head on the old lady's lap, and the sound of frogs and birds in her ears was incessant, and she said to the old lady on such a quiet summer night: "If it weren't for my grandmother, I don't know what kind of life Elan is living now, thank you grandmother for being willing to raise Elan, and willing to teach Elan, so many things." As she spoke, her eyes gradually moistened, and she remembered her previous life, she lacked the love of her relatives, but she didn't want to meet an old lady who really treated her in another world, her grandmother. I thought about her grandmother as long as she was good, for fear that she would grow into a weak grandmother who would be bullied.
The old lady closed her eyes and said slowly: "Life is fixed, grandmother is already old." It would be best if I could see my four girls getting married......" She said that many years ago, on the day her daughter got married, she was festive red and shy hibiscus. Thinking like this, the old lady had no energy at all, and rested early.
Early the next morning, the calf's father brought a basket of loaches and yellow eels, and Eilan instructed the kitchen to make fiery eels, and the loaches were boiled. After thinking about it, I added a yellow eel soup, the yellow eel soup boiled with bitter weed is clear and nourishing, the best in summer, this is for the old lady.
At this time, the house must have been filled with ice, and the masters drank the cold water and ate the chilled fruit. When she was at home, she often asked her to bring her crushed ice, chopped the fruit, put fried black and white sesame seeds, fried peanuts and raisins, and made imitation of the current assorted smoothie to eat. But the consequence of such a cold is diarrhea, the old lady broke the ice in her house for half a month, and then could not stand her pitiful appearance, and showed mercy, the house allowed ice but did not hold the fragrance and frighten her to get her to eat.
Now, the temperature in the mountains and forests is already lower than in the cities. In the summer, the trees are shaded, the house is sprinkled with realgar wine, the medicine bag to avoid insects is placed, the windows are also pasted with veils, and when you open the windows, you are not afraid that insects will fly in, and you can see the stars and the moon in the sky, and you can sleep coolly. The mat made of old bamboo was rubbed three times with well water, and it was already cold when she slept, but she felt more comfortable than falling asleep at home.
Now there is no need to eat ice to relieve the heat, and the old lady is also satisfied. The girls are yin, from snacks to cold things, to when it comes to marriage, it will be difficult to conceive, she has already thought far enough. It was at this time that the nourishing decoction every night was also staring at the kitchen for Eilan, who was only regarded as a routine, but she didn't know that the old lady was laying the foundation for her future birth. If she knew, she was afraid that she would want to vomit three liters of blood, this is too early, she is still a yellow-haired little girl, feed her grandmother!
Lunch was enjoyable, Eel Silk comforted Elan's soul, the old lady had never eaten this kind of meat, Eelan personally served her a bowl of soup, the old lady ate the eel segment fat and with a faint bitter taste of bitter scallion, and tasted the hot eel silk, the eel silk with shaved bones fried smoothly and tenderly, very delicious, just right for rice. Thinking about yesterday's snails again, I have to praise Huilan for looking for food.
