Chapter 15: Summer (1)
After the rainy season, the weather really began to heat up, but the temperature was completely within the range accepted by Gu Xi, such a cool summer did not need air conditioning at all, and the highest temperature was about 30 degrees.
Huo Bai dragged some bamboo down from the mountain, this time it was not to make things, but to transplant them, that's right, Gu Xi planned to plant a small bamboo forest in the yard, Huo Bai transported a lot of medium-sized bamboos back from the mountain, and while the sun was not high at noon, the two dug a pit in the yard and planted the bamboo dug up together with the roots, and the empty yard suddenly had a feeling of vitality, which made people feel cool when they looked at it.
"Maybe you won't have to go to the mountains to dig bamboo shoots next year," Gu Xi said with satisfaction, and seeing that the two of them were covered with mud, he simply decided: "Let's go, let's go to the river to take a bath." ”
This season, everyone likes to bathe in the river, the water here is exceptionally clear, Gu Xi too, every evening will go to wash once, although it is living water, everyone will still go downstream when bathing, after all, the normal water is in this river, generally Gu Xi is boiled with the water that has been precipitated for a day, and is used for drinking.
On the way, I met the little tigers Moli and Ruda, and Moli was arguing to go, so Uncle Mo Ken simply took Mo Mo and set off to swim together.
When he arrived at the river, the big white tiger jumped into the water and splashed high, pouring Gu Xi who had not taken off his vest thoroughly, Huo Bai teased him every day, Gu Xi gritted his teeth and jumped into the river, and used all his strength to press the big tiger into the water, but the body shape gap was too big to press, Gu Xi lazily ignored him and swam to the other side of the river, he swam back and forth like this every day, and he felt a lot better recently.
"Brother Xiaoxi" little tigers Moli and Luda jumped into the river happily on all fours, and their small bodies that had not yet grown up were fluttering in the water, like a dog crawling, and Gu Xi had to be happy every time he saw it.
Mo Mo didn't know how to swim yet, so Uncle Mo Ken did it on the stone steps by the river, gently put Mo Mo on the water, and played with him, little Mo Mo shook his limbs, smashed his little fist in the water, splashed a small splash, and giggled non-stop.
Everyone was swimming, when little Maury suddenly screamed, and quickly strung to the shore, "Something caught me, it hurts, it hurts!" "Shout and shake this ass.
Everyone hurriedly went ashore, and saw a red thing clamped on Mori's buttocks, and Uncle Mo Ken on the shore hurriedly dragged it down: "This thing looks really strange" He has never seen it.
Gu Xi looked at Mo Li's big tearful eyes, and then looked at the red thing in Uncle Mo Ken's hand, and couldn't help it: "Hahahaha, crayfish!" It turned out to be a crayfish! Although it can no longer be called a crayfish, looking at how it is also a big lobster, he still thinks that there will be no crayfish in the weather here, and the original Chinese crayfish are also imported from abroad.
As soon as Huo Bai heard this, he felt that this thing must be edible, and he knew it by looking at Gu Xi's shining eyes, and asked, "Gu Xi, can you eat this?" ”
Gu Xi nodded quickly, very happy, crayfish is his favorite in summer, he likes to go to the food stall in the summer to call a big pot of crayfish, with cold beer, that is called a cool, for him, crayfish can't eat enough, ah, it's a pity that there is no chili, how can crayfish without chili be delicious! No matter, catch more and go back, try garlic lobster, the new lobster dish recently, he hasn't tasted it yet.
"In our place, this is called lobster, in the summer, we eat it pot by pot, I don't know how much I can catch, I like to eat" Gu Xi said, quickly wiped the water on his body, he planned to go to the shallow beach to see, there are easy to catch, there should be a lot.
Huo Bai was covered in wet hair, and he shook it twice, and suddenly Gu Xi was thrown into the water again, Gu Xi glared at him, and didn't want to pay attention to this big cute pet.
"Brother Xiaoxi, it hurts me so much, can I really eat it?" Little Moli rubbed over with palpitations.
"Of course, it's delicious, my brother will make it for you later" Gu Xi said, thinking that the lobster is there, maybe there will be snails, he saw it when he caught the fish, it was not big at that time, it was small, he didn't care much, he hadn't been to the shallow beach for a few days, and he must have grown up a lot.
When he arrived at the shallow water, Gu Xi really saw a few big lobsters crawling in the corner, lobsters like to be in shallow water, usually they like to hit the hole by the river, Gu Xi was a leather boy when he was a child, when the river fell, he often looked for a hole on the bank of the river with this little friend to dig things, and met many times, there were lobsters and crabs hiding in the hole, but he didn't dare to reach in directly with his hand to find it, because when he was a child, he almost let the water snake bite in the hole, and now it's a little scary.
And sure enough, there are many snails attached to the stones, and the big ones are as big as the snails, and it seems that the snails in this season are the most meaty, so they don't say anything, and eat snails at night.
So Gu Xi found a wooden stick, began to look for it in the shallow water, caught the snail when he met it, grabbed it directly when he met the lobster crawling outside, and threw it into the animal skin bag, and when he met a hole, no matter how big or small it was to take it out with a wooden stick, he really let him pick up a few crabs, but there are also small shells in the small hole, this small shell is similar to a small clam in the sea, it is long in the river, Gu Xi dug a lot when he was a child, and he roasted it with a fire and ate it, and it tasted as delicious.
Huo Bai knew the trick after a few glances, Uncle Mo Ken asked Little Mo Li and Luda to watch their sister together, and also went into the water to find it together, their movements were more agile and they were much faster than Gu Xi.
Gu Xi looked at the bag full of river fresh, and was a little impatient: "Let's have a picnic by the river today!" Call everyone over, eat barbecue, eat crayfish" although everyone eats barbecue every day.
So in the evening, the summer bonfire party of the Tiger tribe began again.
Uncle Song followed Yan Yan's mother and father to enlarge the cleaned crayfish in a stone pot and cook them according to the method given by Gu Xi, and a few big crabs were also stewed together, and the snails were boiled in a single pot, and a pot of fish soup was boiled, and some small shells were put in.
Gu Xi put small shells on a thin stone slab, as well as peeled lobster meat, roasted with fire below, sprinkled with some flavored fruit powder and salt, the small shells were heated very open, and the lobster meat slowly changed from transparent to white, Gu Xi knew that the roasted lobster was also fooled when he was a child, and at that time sprinkled with some instant noodle seasoning, not to mention how delicious, the white-haired beast meat and fanged pork that had been marinated for a while were fat and thin, cut thinly, and cooked after a while on the slate.
This slate barbecue is made by Gu Xi, the slate is very smooth, the things baked through the slate will not be burned by the open flame, and the operation is also simple and convenient, there is no need to worry about the open flame touching your hand, that is, the slate will crack after a long time, fortunately, it is very convenient for orcs to make a slate.
"Look at this shell, as soon as you open your mouth, it can be cooked, and you can eat it" Gu Xi demonstrated, the chopsticks started from both sides of the shell and grabbed the meat in the shell, well, it was so fresh, there was no condiment at all, it was still fresh, and the lobster meat sprinkled with a little salt was also good, Gu Xi thought that if he could eat seafood in the future, wouldn't it be even more delicious, he was really looking forward to it.
Everyone tasted this shell one after another, the orcs didn't like it very much, the taste was a little light, but the sub-beasts liked it very much, it was light and delicious, and soon other sub-beasts began to try to bake it on the stone slab, and several families in the tribe made this slate, which will be lifted out and roasted.
The lobster over there was also quickly cooked, Gu Xi smelled the familiar taste, looked at the big pot of red lobsters served up, saliva was about to flow out, there was no spicy lobster, the condiment used was garlic paste, the taste was not as spicy, but it was also extraordinarily fragrant, Gu Xi couldn't wait to clip one and start eating, no one else had eaten the lobster, and stared at him to see how he ate it.
Gu Xi is also not polite, he is generous and generous, he has an obsessive-compulsive disorder when eating lobster, that is, the tail will remain intact when eating, that is, pull off the tail with meat, poke it from the tail with chopsticks, and the meat will come out from the other end, and then the intact tail will be arranged one by one according to the size, and it can generally be lined up in many rows, and he can eat a lot every time.
"Everybody's eating habits are different, you just need to know how to eat the white meat in it...... Method, casual, how convenient how to come, I'm used to it"
Little Molly took the ripe lobster and said fiercely: "Let you clip me, I'll eat you now!" Then he dragged the lobster into two ends as if he was angry, and the little hand held the chopsticks and poked the tail, and he had to learn from Gu Xi's appearance to eat, everyone smiled happily, and he was not welcome, some learned Gu Xi, and some directly bit it, and the taste was indeed very good.
Wait for the lobster to eat half, the snail is also good, this snail is big, so it takes a while to cook it before it tastes, but compared to the lobster, everyone is more curious about the snail, what is delicious about this thing, small, the outer shell is so hard, it is troublesome to deal with, think about it before knocking off its tail end one by one with a stone knife, it feels troublesome, and fortunately, people deal with it quickly.
Gu Xi took out the bamboo skewers that had been made a long time ago and distributed them to everyone, considering that not everyone has the skill of eating snails, it is better to teach everyone to pick out and eat them directly with bamboo skewers, this method is simple, everyone will learn it, Gu Xi tasted the snail meat in his mouth, there is no chili pepper, and the taste is really lacking, but it is still good.
This dinner, everyone was full, and there was nothing left of the river fresh, only a little snails, and little Moli liked to eat it, so he held it for him as a snack.
Gu Xi sat on Huo Bai's back and went home slowly, the moonlight was exceptionally good, the two of them didn't speak quietly, although the home in front of them was not lit, but in their eyes, it was so warm.
