Chapter Thirty-Eight: Green Fruits
When Su Xi returned to their small home, the first thing he did was not to go into the room to change clothes as usual, but to ask where Qingguo was?
"Where are the green fruits you are talking about?" Su Xi looked around and didn't see anything that looked like a green fruit.
She is indeed a little greedy, she just saw the little peach and missed the taste of plums a little, and wanted to eat sour, but now she heard that there are sour fruits, can she not be greedy?
"You sit down for a while, and I'll get it." Lin Zimo instructed, he didn't expect Su Xi to look forward to it so much, he should have picked it up more if he knew this.
"Okay, then I'll wash my hands first." Su Xi is used to washing her hands before eating, and if she eats without washing her hands, she will be very uncomfortable.
It's a habit she developed after she became a killer.
After a while, Lin Zimo washed the green fruits he picked back and put them on a plate and brought them out.
Su Xi looked at the crystal clear green fruits on the plate, the size of the green oranges he often ate in his previous life, and before he could eat it in his mouth, he smelled the sour taste.
But on the surface, it doesn't look like a green orange, looking at it, it's more like a plum, but it's much smaller than a plum, or a plum that hasn't grown up yet?
Su Xi walked up to Lin Zimo, took a green fruit directly from the plate, put it in his mouth and took a bite.
Unlike plums, its flesh is like a ripe peach, and when you bite into it, in addition to the softness of the flesh, there is also the full juice, the difference is that the juice of the peach is sweet, while the juice of this green fruit is sour.
If it were an ordinary person, this juice would be scared by the sour taste just by entering it, but Su Xi ate it with relish, but the face was expressionless as always, so it fell into Lin Zimo's eyes, but it was a different appearance.
"Lady, isn't this green fruit too sour? If it's too sour, I'll look for other fruits......" Lin Zimo was stunned when he saw Su Xi take a bite, and hurriedly asked.
In fact, he had eaten this green fruit when he was young.
At that time, my mother was also pregnant, or because of the bitter summer, she couldn't eat anything, so my father often picked this fruit for her to eat appetizingly.
And he, seeing that his mother ate it with relish, wanted to taste it, but his father refused to give it, saying that because he had picked it for his mother, he was not allowed to eat it.
I remember that at that time, he also tasted one secretly and naughtily, but that day his teeth were sour until the evening, so that he couldn't eat, and was taught a lesson by his father.
And that taste, that sour taste, he still remembers it clearly, and it is only now that he understands that his father did not give him food, not because he was reluctant, but because he was afraid that it would sour him, but if he didn't let him taste it, he would not give up according to his temper, otherwise why would the green fruits that were usually always harvested happen to be in the place where he could get them that day?
And now he is also afraid, afraid that Su Xi will be sour, although Su Xi's appetite is not very good recently, but the sour things are not only this, why did he pick this green fruit in a daze?
What if it sours Su Xi's teeth and makes her appetite even worse?
"Sour? It's okay, it's full of delicious food. When Su Xi took the first bite, he was not stunned because of sourness, but because he thought of the past.
I remember that at the beginning, she and Mo had been to a tropical island because of the mission, where they not only saw many tropical fruit trees, but also saw the green orange trees that were once only used to soak in water and drink, only to know that in fact, green oranges are also a kind of fruit, which can be eaten directly, can also be soaked in water to drink, and there is a way to eat it, which is to use it as a seasoning.
It was also there that they learned that in addition to the simplest way to soak in water and drink, green oranges can also be used as a seasoning.
There, orange juice is stirred with coriander, garlic, ginger, etc., on a chicken broth, and used to dip it in steamed fish or simply anything cooked in water, which tastes much better than a dish made with many spices.
It was also on that occasion that she tasted something cooked only with water for the first time, because as long as it was stained with the seasoning made with green oranges, the food not only retained its own taste, but also added a layer of sourness.
It was one of her favorite things to eat, but Mo couldn't stand the slightest sourness, so that later, she rarely had the opportunity to eat again, and later, she was the only one left, and she never wanted to go back to that island alone.
And today, when she saw this green fruit, she remembered the green orange, and when she ate this sour taste, she wanted to eat the spice with a little sourness.
"Lin Zimo, do you have any spices like garlic and ginger at home?" After Su Xi finished eating the green fruit in his hand, he took another green fruit from the plate and asked.
"Yes, I always put some flavor in cooking on weekdays." Although Lin Zimo didn't know why Su Xi asked this, he had it at home.
These daily materials for flavor enhancement are all given by the founding queen of the previous dynasty, who discovered that these things are edible, named them, and distributed this use and planting method in the name of the government, provided seeds and spread them to various places, which household does not have a point of cultivation now, to use it for its own use?
So their family actually has it, but they don't grow it themselves, but they get it from people who have planted a lot in the store, because their vegetable plots have not been sorted out and planted with seasonal vegetables.
"So, did you boil chicken soup today?" Su Xi asked again.
"Chicken soup? I stayed up in the morning, and it was warm all the time, but I haven't looked at it for so long, and the fire is probably out at this time, so I'll go warm up later. Lin Zimo replied.
He was a little strange how Su Xi asked about this, especially when he took the initiative to ask about chicken soup, on weekdays, she saw how far away the chicken soup was, and there was no soup that he needed to drink before meals, if he didn't pay attention, it was estimated that as soon as he turned around, she would pour it out.
"Can you help me mince the garlic and ginger separately?" Su Xi asked uncertainly.
She believed that Lin Zimo would not refuse her request, the reason why she was not sure was because she had only eaten the seasoning, but she had never made it, and the garlic and ginger in her impression were all cut very finely, so fine that she couldn't tell what the seasoning was, or later she thought it was delicious and asked the local entertainer to know the raw materials.
It's just that although she knows the raw materials, she doesn't know how to mix them, so she plans to let Lin Zimo get some raw materials, and she tries to adjust them.
It's really boring lately, there used to be a peach forest to go, and recently she can meet someone else every time she goes to the peach forest, and she actually doesn't like to meet others, so she doesn't plan to go there anymore these days, but in this way, she has nowhere to go, and she happens to see this green fruit, although it is not a green orange, but this acidity is not lost to it.
If Lin Zimo wasn't here today, she wouldn't have asked Lin Zimo to chop the garlic and ginger, but she did it herself, but Lin Zimo was at home, and she wanted to do it herself~ knife, I'm afraid it would be impossible, so she retreated.
I guess I won't be able to get it out today, and next time Lin Zimo is gone, she will try it by herself.
It's just that if she makes it alone, what will she do with the chicken soup? Do you want her to boil it herself?
Thinking about the appearance of boiling water last time, Su Xi dispelled this idea, let's take a look and talk about it.
"Okay, lady, I'll get lunch ready later, okay?" Lin Zimo really didn't refuse.
"Yes." Su Xi replied in a good mood, and she eliminated another green fruit, and was about to reach out to take another one, but was stopped by Lin Zimo.
"Lady, this fruit is too sour, don't eat too much at once, otherwise your teeth will be sour." Lin Zimo knew the pain of his sore teeth, and after thinking about it, he stopped Su Xi's hand that was about to reach out to the plate.
"Okay." Su Xi thought that she had eaten Qingmang too much at one time before, so that she couldn't eat anything with sore teeth, so she put down her hand.
