Chapter 44: Brown Sugar Ginger Soup
A big snake with a thick arm was firmly grasped by Uncle Li Lie.
I saw Uncle Li Lie grasping the snake's neck with one hand and the seven-inch position of the snake with the other, so that the big snake couldn't move.
"Uncle Lie, you really deserve to be the number one snake catcher in our village, your craftsmanship is really not bad" Li Qing looked at Li Lie and said with some admiration.
"Hehe, you kid can talk" Li Lie grinned and patted Li Qing's shoulder.
When Li Qing saw Li Lie coming, he was startled and unconsciously took a step back.
Of course Li Lie is not scary, what is scary is the big snake that Li Lie is holding in his hand that is still struggling.
Although Li Qing is not afraid of snakes, but just like that night, a bunch of snakes are different, today's big snake has thick arms, and ordinary people will be afraid when they see it.
Li Lie was stunned for a moment when he saw Li Qing's movements, then laughed, slapped the snake to death on the ground, and put it in the basket he brought.
This morning, Li Qing saw that Li Lie not only came with a hoe, but also with a basket, and he didn't see him use it all morning, and he was curious, but this would be understood.
Li Qing smiled unnaturally, his face was a little embarrassed, what kind of "unlucky" thing he had encountered, Li Qing thought secretly in his heart.
However, Li Qing's embarrassment did not last long.
Li Lie put the snake in the basket and continued to clean up the area around the pond, and Li Qing also joined in to help.
Before Li Qing came, they had been cleaning up for a while, so it didn't take long for Li Qingcai to help, and the surroundings were relatively clean.
It is also useful to clean up the surroundings, not only for the convenience of standing people, but also for convenience, if a big snake jumps out like just now, it must not scare people, and it is also for a while to warm up in the water, and it is not good to have cramps or something for a while.
However, there are no big snakes just now, and there are quite a few small snakes.
Li Lie cleaned up and caught snakes at the same time.
Not to mention, I really caught a lot.
The pond was cleaned up, and according to what Li Qing and the uncle discussed, they would first use a small fishing net to fish, and then go inside.
The uncle and several uncles from the village fenced the pond and cast fishing nets into it.
The pond has not been cleaned for a long time.
When the original owner's father was there, he didn't clean it up, and occasionally put some small fish and shrimp caught or netted into it, and when he wanted to eat fish, he came to catch some.
When the net is put up, it is full, not only some fish and shrimp, but also branches and leaves.
Dump the whole net of fish and sundries on the ground, and do not rush to catch the next net, but first use wooden barrels and basins to sort the fish and shrimp.
Although the pond is not large, due to the fact that it has not been cleaned for a long time, this first net has caught a lot.
Grass carp, carp, crucian carp, silver carp, and some trash fish and water snakes are mixed together.
Li Qing and Uncle have already thought about it, more than a pound of fish should be packed separately, and less than a pound of fish, regardless of type, should be packed together.
After loading this net, I began to fish for another net.
Li Qing watched it for a while, and felt that he didn't seem to be able to help much, so he talked to his uncle, and Li Qing returned home.
It was still early to return home, around three o'clock, Li Qing thought about it, and it seemed that there was nothing to do.
As soon as Li Qing entered the house, the two puppies swayed and ran over.
Li Qing smiled slightly, and reached out to scoop up the two puppies.
Maybe the two puppies knew that Li Qing had saved them, and they were very enthusiastic about Li Qing, and kept sticking out their tongues to lick Li Qing.
The two puppies took turns to fight, and Li Qing was too busy to take care of the left and right, until he took out the temptation of space water.
Put the two puppies on the ground and let them drink the spiritual spring water by themselves.
Li Qing entered the room and sat on the bed and began to fugue~
"Huh?" Li Qing woke up from his fugue state, still a little dazed.
It turned out that the two puppies had finished drinking the spiritual spring water, and they saw that Li Qing didn't know what to do in the fugue, playing on Li Qing's feet.
Putting the two puppies aside, Li Qing went into the kitchen.
Li Qing is hungry? Of course it is impossible.
Li Qing looked around to see what other ingredients were there, and then thought about what to cook tonight.
Li Qing didn't have anything to do when he got home, he swam for a while, and decided to go to the pond to see what fish he had gotten while he was gone.
The weather in winter is naturally cold, even in the afternoon, the sun is still hanging in the sky, and it still feels cold.
Li Qing walked halfway, stopped, turned and went back.
Of course, Li Qing was not afraid of the cold, but thought about the people who went to the pond, it was not good to get cold on such a cold day, so he decided to boil some ginger soup.
Ginger soup ginger soup, the important thing is ginger.
The medicinal use of ginger is divided into fresh ginger, dried ginger, and cannon ginger, and they all have different medicinal properties.
Fresh ginger refers to its fresh product, which has a pungent and warm taste, which can diffuse wind chill and stop vomiting; Dried ginger is a dry product of fresh ginger, with a pungent and hot taste, specializing in the treatment of spleen and stomach deficiency and cold; After processing, the pungent taste is reduced, and the warm menstrual hemostasis is its strength, and it is mostly used for deficiency cold hemorrhage.
Therefore, fresh ginger is the most suitable for the choice of ginger.
Fresh ginger can be roughly divided into two categories, new ginger and old ginger.
New ginger refers to ginger with leaves, and old ginger refers to ginger at the root.
In terms of medicinal efficacy, old ginger is better than new ginger.
The ginger pieces of old ginger are shiny, fully enlarged and mature, the flesh is firm and tight, the fiber is more, and the spicy flavor is strong.
That is, as the folk proverb says, "ginger is old and spicy".
The role of ginger we have mentioned above, the other two raw materials, green onion white has the effect of sweating and detoxifying, detoxifying and dispersing knots, and brown sugar has the effect of replenishing blood and dissipating cold and removing stasis.
After drinking the ginger soup, it is best to lie on the bed and cover it with a quilt to make the body sweat, so that the wind cold and cold will heal with sweating.
There are many ways to boil ginger soup, but Li Qing can only make a relatively simple and common brown sugar ginger soup due to the limitation of materials
Li Qing rummaged through the cabinet and found a piece of brown sugar that he bought when he was in the market last time, but he didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly.
Li Qing first set up a casserole, added ginger and water to the casserole, lit a fire, and boiled.
Li Qing took advantage of the time when he was boiling ginger, plucked a few green onions from the backyard, and after the cooking was clean, he cut off the green onions.
After the soup boils for a while, add brown sugar and green onion and simmer for another 5 minutes.
After the ginger soup was ready, Li Qing took out chopsticks and fished out the green onions and ginger.
Li Qing tasted it, the soup was sweet and spicy, and the effect was best when drunk while it was hot.
Li Qing took out a basket, put a large pot of ginger soup into it, and put a spoon to serve the soup.
On the other side of the basket, Li Qing put in a large stack of bowls.
After checking it and finding that nothing was missing, Li Qing put on the basket, closed the door of the house and the yard, and walked towards the pond.
