Tang Bao, tell my sister what you learned in school today? ”

There are more and more people on the ox cart, from Xia Mei at the beginning, Dao Xia Mei and Wen Xi, then Yun Ni, and now there is Tang Bao.

However, since there is more Tang Bao, along the way, it has been a lot more lively, and even time has passed quickly.

No, Wen Xi had to pull Tang Bao and ask him how he felt about going to school.

Xia Mei thought it was funny, but she also wanted to know how Tang Bao would answer, so she didn't interject, and the three of them looked at Tang Bao who was sitting in the car drowsy.

Tang Bao was scared away and drowsy, poked his face and thought carefully for a while before he said seriously: "The food cooked by my mother is not as delicious as that made by my mother!" ”

Everyone: "......"

Wen Xi pinched Tang Bao's fat face with tears and laughter, and scolded with a smile: "You kid, you actually tease your sister Wen Xi to play?!" Fat guts?! ”

Tang Bao knew that he was at a loss, he shouted in pain, and asked Xia Mei for help pitifully, and finally escaped from Wen Xi's clutches, turned over and slipped behind Xia Mei to hide, and grimaced at Wen Xi, so angry that Wen Xi was about to hit someone.

The ox cart couldn't afford to shake too much, so Tang Bao's body was light and he could shake it a few times, Wen Xi could only sit honestly in place, which made Tang Bao very proud.

Xia Mei grabbed the naughty Tang Bao and asked softly: "Tang Bao, what your sister Wenxi asked, my mother also wants to know, what did you learn in the school today?" ”

Tang Bao pursed his lips, since it was his mother who was asking, he had to answer well, so he replied honestly: "Today, the master let us get to know each other, and then we began to teach the three books, although Tang Bao had learned before, but the master explained more interestingly, so Tang Bao learned again." ”

When Xia Mei heard this, she was very satisfied with Tang Bao's well-behavedness, touched Tang Bao's bun lovingly, and said dotingly: "Tang Bao is so well-behaved!" Go back today, my mother will make you what you want to eat! Go ahead. What do you want to eat? ”

Tang Bao cheered happily, "Oh! Tang Bao wants to eat sweet and sour pork ribs! ”

Yunni had been watching from the side, and said loudly at this moment: "Tang Bao, but we didn't buy pork ribs today." You can change it! ”

When Tang Bao heard this, he was lost for a moment, and then immediately changed to his usual smile, with a smile on his little face, and said sensibly: "That...... Tang Bao can be. Tang Bao is a good boy who is not a picky eater! ”

Yun Ni smiled with relief and comforted: "Later, Sister Yun Ni will take you to pick the red medicine!" ”

The smile on Tang Bao's face became a little more energetic, and he nodded sweetly and smiled: "Hmm! ”

Xia Mei gently stroked Tang Bao's head on the side, her mind wandering.

Soon returned home, Tang Bao put away his schoolbag, and ran to find his little friend, Wu Song went out to the field, not at home, Xia Mei hesitated for a moment, and finally took the river fork. Went to the river by himself.

For Tang Bao, because there are no pork ribs, Xia Mei wants to make sweet and sour fish.

So I went to the river and wanted to see if I could fork the fish.

Although the idea is a little naïve, how do you know if you can't do it without trying?

So Xia Mei came to the river with some trepidation, an inaccessible place.

The crystal clear river grass at the bottom of the river gently swayed, and the round stones that were polished by the river water lay quietly in the water, shining with colorful light under the sunset.

Of course, none of this can attract half of Xia Mei's attention, what she sees in her eyes are only those who swim leisurely in the river. Big, fatty fish.

Thinking of the delicious sweet and sour fish, Xia Mei swallowed her saliva very unproductively.

There was a flash of ambition in his eyes, and the harpoon in his hand was raised in a look.

The fish swimming in the river suddenly felt a chill down their backs. They all paused in unison.

So until the sun went down, Wu Song came home and found that Xia Mei was no longer at home and had not come back for a long time, and he began to be a little worried.

When he was about to go out to find his wife, Xia Mei came back.

It can be said that he is a wolf, and his clothes are half wet. The sleeves and trouser legs were pulled up, revealing white arms and calves, and the hair on the head was also scattered, as if they had gone somewhere to set up a rack before returning.

Wu Song was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Xia Mei in to take a closer look, and said with anger in his eyes: "Lady! What's wrong with you?! Who bullied you! ”

Xia Mei couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly comforted someone who was about to run away, and said softly: "I'm fine, I made it myself, don't get excited, I'm fine." ”

After entering the courtyard and closing the door, Xia Mei seemed to take out the things hidden behind her, "Bell, bell!" See! ”

The fish tied up with a rough straw rope weighs about three pounds, and it is a really big fish.

Wu Song was stunned, his voice revealing disbelief, "You made yourself like this for this fish?!" ”

Xia Mei pursed her lips, her good-looking big eyes were full of grievances, and she bit her lip and looked at Wu Song.

Wu Song: "......"

"Hah...... What a ......."

Wu Song, who was distressed by Xia Mei, his anger disappeared in an instant, leaving only a helpless wry smile.

Raising his hand and flicking a brain melon on Xia Mei's forehead, Wu Song gritted his teeth and said, "If there is a next time, see if I don't clean you up!" ”

Xia Mei stuck out her tongue, bent her eyebrows with a good smile, jumped up and kissed Wu Song, turned around and ran into the kitchen, and shouted happily: "Tang Bao!" My mother will make you something to eat tonight! ”

Wu Song boiled hot water, Xia Mei quickly took a shower and changed clothes, and couldn't wait to start cooking dinner.

Pack up the hard-won fish, cut it with a flower knife, smear it with salt and marinate it for a while, coat it with water starch, fry it slightly in oil, and set it aside.

Speaking of water starch, it is actually sliced and soaked in water, and after precipitation, the powder is dried, which is the simplest starch.

The next step is to make the sauce, stir-fry the ginger and garlic foam, add the homemade tomato paste, water, sugar, vinegar, a little soy sauce, bring to a boil, pour in the water starch to thicken, and finally put in a small piece of lard.

Collect the juice on high heat, this sweet and sour, appetizing soup is ready.

Pour it on the finished fish, cut a few shredded green onions and red peppers for decoration, and the sweet and sour fish is ready.

Hands and feet quickly took advantage of the hot pot to cook a tofu and green vegetable soup, the white rice that was not soft or hard was also steamed, the meal was served on the kang, and the three of them sat on the kang and began to eat dinner.

Tang Bao looked at this strange-shaped fish curiously, the taste was a little familiar, and asked, "Mother...... What is this? ”

Xia Mei smiled dotingly: "Didn't we Tang Bao want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs?" But recently, there were no pork ribs, and I couldn't eat them, so my mother thought about making another dish, sweet and sour fish. ”

Tang Bao's eyes widened in surprise. "Can fish also be made sweet and sour?!"

Xia Mei nodded, chuckled, "Eat, eat?" ”

As he spoke, he added a piece of meat from the belly of the fish and put it into Tang Bao's bowl.

The moment you retract your chopsticks. Looking at a man with a black face, he turned his chopsticks and put them into Wu Song's bowl.

The atmosphere at the table warmed up slightly.

chuckled in his heart, turned his head and asked Tang Bao, "How is it?" Is it tasty? ”

Tang Bao nodded in surprise and swallowed the fish. happily said to her: "Mother! This fish is also delicious! It doesn't taste like pork ribs, but it's delicious! I love it, thank you, mother! ”

Xia Mei finally smiled, put her heart at ease, and put a chopstick in her mouth.

"Hmm...... The fish is really delicious, is it really original and pollution-free? ”

Xia Mei, who was moved by the dishes she cooked, began to pick thorns for Tang Bao while eating by herself, and occasionally took care of someone who was in love.

So although the meal was delicious, Xia Mei felt very tired......

So they ate. Wu Song, who was satisfied with the service, took the initiative to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, boiled water for Tang Bao to bathe, and washed himself before returning to the room to rest.

Seeing Xia Mei who was already asleep, distress flashed in her eyes, and she carefully helped her take off her clothes, change the quilt, get into the quilt and take her into her arms, and fell asleep contentedly.

The days always pass in such stumbles, unconsciously. Xia Mei has been here for almost a year.

It's early summer again.

The wheat in the field was already yellow, and the heavy ears of wheat were bent over contentedly, waiting for the villagers to come and take back their homes. Threshing, peeling, and grinding flour to turn into delicious steamed buns.

All the land of the Wu family was bought by Xia Mei from the Naluo clan by asking the village chief, and the land was fertile, but it was a little neglected, and there was a lot of wild grass in the ground. Although Wu Song turned it very carefully, there were too many grass seeds, and after the spring rain, many began to take root and sprout again.

The wheat in the field is naturally not good, but it is not bad, enough for their family to eat and drink for a year, but there is no problem.

This family includes Wen Xi and Yunni, the two little girls have no land and can't eat anything, so they naturally live with Wu Song's family.

"Husband, you have helped Aunt Chen and her family to harvest wheat first these days, there are not many of her family, and there are more yellow ones than us, so be in a hurry, when they finish harvesting, everyone will come to help our family harvest it."

Wu Song drank the last mouthful of porridge, swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth, and then said lightly: "Well, I know, the lady doesn't have to worry about the things in the ground, she will do it well for her husband."

Xia Mei said a little apologetically: "I should have done it with you...... But the restaurant is really inseparable from ......"

"The kid I recruited before is really good, and he can take on big responsibilities, but he asks for leave due to jet lag, and he seems to be relatively weak...... I've been on leave again these days......"

As she spoke, Xia Mei sighed deeply.

Can't she find some normal cooks...... It's the best......

After breakfast, Xia Mei and Tang Bao left, and Wu Song walked to the ground with a sickle, thinking about his own land in his heart along the way.

The land bought from the village chief is a total of 12 acres, which is not much, but the land is fertile and connected together, which is easy to cultivate, and the only deficiency is that it is against a barren slope, and the grass seeds that have been blown down by the wind fall into the ground, and the weeds are too vigorous.

Of the twelve acres of land, seven acres are planted with winter wheat, and the rest is all buried with potatoes.

Potatoes are very easy to grow, and a potato can be cut into three pieces and planted in three nests, so you don't need to take care of it too much.

Seven acres of wheat is the whole land, and it is not troublesome to harvest it, he can harvest one acre a day alone, plus the Chen family, it is only a matter of two and three days.

The key is that this potato was planted not long ago, and it can be received in two or three months, but there are so many potatoes, how to sell them......

Unconsciously, Wu Song became a real farmer, thinking about the seeds and harvests in this field throughout the year.

Of course, the hunting did not fall behind, and the morning and sunset went into the mountains once, because it was the right season, and one or two prey could be found each time, and the game at home was never broken.

It was a busy farming season, and it was an excellent weather, when Wu Song arrived in the field, the Chen family was busy, Wu Song said hello, and began to harvest wheat for them without saying a word.

When Chen saw it, he immediately understood his intentions, and thought that if his wheat was taken back, it should be collected for the Wu family, and it would be convenient for the two families to threshh together.

Chen, who had made up his mind, put down his thoughts and bent down wholeheartedly to skillfully harvest wheat with the sickle in his hand......

In the restaurant in Qingshan Town, business is as usual as before, and the meals are full.

The weather is getting warmer, the number of people eating hot pot is gradually decreasing, and the freshness of people has passed, plus there are many new foods in Qingshan Town, and Tianfu's hot pot business is not so prosperous.

But this doesn't have much impact, Xia Mei and Mu San are both good at cooking, no matter what you want to eat, Tianfu Restaurant can satisfy you.

Moreover, after long-term observation, it was found that Mu San's cooking skills were not taught by famous teachers, but figured out by himself.

Because he has some habits that don't conform to the rules of this industry at all, such as cutting vegetables can be done with only a knife, no matter what kind of dish you are or what kind of cut it looks like.

A set of knives that Xia Mei made especially for him.

It is also because of this that Xia Mei found that this person has a very high understanding of cooking, which is a few points stronger than Wen Xi, and every time Xia Mei studies a new dish, he can not only accept it without surprise, but also put forward suggestions for improvement.

Xia Mei felt that she might be old......

I can't stop these young people who are against the sky, and it's too tricky to cross the great gods......

In any case, Xia Mei and Mu San often research new dishes that have never been seen before, and those customers who like to try and take risks have become frequent customers of Tianfu.

For example, the master in the yamen.

"Yo, master, are you here again?!"

Liu Quan had just finished cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, wiped the table, and when he looked back, he saw the master who was caressing his black goatee and walked in.

hurriedly greeted him: "Ouch, I said master, did you smell it?!"

The master walked in slowly and sat down, sat down in the place where he usually sits, and casually shouted: "Give three food boxes to the yamen, the county lord wants to eat fried cabbage and sauce elbows today."

Liu Quanle reported to the kitchen, turned back to pour him tea, and said to the master a little mysteriously: "Master, Mrs. Xia just got a new meal this morning!" Say it's best for your kind of ...... What do people of noble status eat...... Afternoon tea! ”

The master took a sip of tea without hurry, and then glanced at Liu Quan and said lightly: "Oh? What is that? ”

Liu Quan smiled, leaned over and whispered, "It is said to be called ...... Jam toast! (To be continued.) )
