Chapter 46 Lotus Leaf Rice

Zhang Lan came back and looked at her son fiddling with lotus leaves in the kitchen, shaking her head and smiling bitterly, this kid is so greedy. Li Feng is making lotus leaf steamed rice at this time, it looks very simple, but the lotus leaf is beaten into pieces and placed in the rice, and the steamed rice has a faint fragrance of lotus leaves, slightly green, and a little bitter.

People here are not as good as outside, and they make some tricks, which are the most rustic. But today Li Feng changed his approach. Li Feng folded the lotus leaves into a package package, poured spring water and wrapped a piece of white tender meat, and put it in the pot, different from other lotus leaf rice, here Li Feng handled it slightly, separated the lotus leaves from the rice, and added lotus leaves to the water in the pot.

Put a steamer on the pot, use lotus flowers to pave the mat, sprinkle the soaked rice evenly on it, and put firewood on the stove to start a fire. After more than ten minutes, a faint fragrance spread out of the courtyard.

"What are you doing, it's fragrant enough." Li Fukui came over to discuss Lin Ying's food, originally thought that the girl's family should have no problem cooking, but who knew that when she asked, Lin Ying was hesitant, her cheeks were red, and she didn't speak for a long time. As soon as Li Fukui saw it, it seemed that he had to trouble Li Shan's family again, it was nothing to eat at home, but the child went to high school, and his daughter-in-law went to take care of him, which made him hungry and full every day. It is also a little inappropriate to let a girl's family go over for dinner, so I don't want to discuss it with Li Shan.

"Uncle He, you're here, come into the house and sit, hehe, Xiaobao is tinkering, eat here at noon, there is wine at home." Zhang Lan is breaking beans at this time, the shelves are densely packed, there are too many, a lot of them were sold last week, who knows that it will be time to pick them again in a few days.

"There's a fire at home, what about the second child, isn't he at home?" Li Fukui didn't know how to speak, and he got it.

"Something? Serving the vegetable patch in the backyard. Zhang Lan saw that someone was coming over and had something to do, so she didn't delay. When Li Fukui heard that he was in the backyard, he didn't have time to drink tea, and he didn't pay much attention to Li Feng's greeting.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that the uncle was anxious, something was really wrong, Li Feng patted the soot on his body and broke the grass foam.

"I'm looking for your dad if I have something, it's none of your business." Zhang Lan had already broken half of the bamboo dustpan beans as she spoke, and instructed Li Feng to go over and call a few old people to eat. The vegetables came out in a few minutes, and the meat and vegetables were stewed early, and they were ready to eat when they were hot.

On the side of the peach forest, several old people teased the little rabbits, and several little ones quickly adapted to the environment and crawled out of the cage from time to time. Hairball, this guy learns to lure the little rabbit with tender grass, looks at it, plays with it, scares the little rabbit cooing, and points and chirps excitedly.

As for the fat boy, he sniffed it very disdainfully, swaggered after the little sika deer, and provoked people to bounce a few times, and then ran to catch butterflies and bees under the flower shed.

"Wangwang." The fat boy watched Li Feng come over, ran over, shook his little tail desperately, pressed down slightly, looked up at Li Feng, and almost flattered.

"Xiaobao is here, come over and take a look, what's going on here?" Wang Lao squatted by the pool, a little puzzled, what happened today.

Li Feng looked at it, the fish floated, looked up at the sky, the sun was dewed in the morning, this time it was already hiding in the clouds, the air was a little dull It seemed that it was going to rain, but I didn't see the yellow eel outcropping in the ditch, what is wrong with the pool, so many crucian carp, carp surfaced.

"It could be dreary and it's going to rain." Li Feng felt that it might be, but he was not sure, the main reason for the floating head of the fish was the lack of oxygen, could it be that there was less oxygen in the water, which was not enough for the fish.

Li Feng opened the lotus leaf and looked at it, the dense blue-black crucian carp, clustered and floating, this is something wrong, Li Feng hurriedly looked around the pool, really, dense clumps of crucian carp gathered together and floated.

"This one is hypoxic or parasite, fish up a few and take a look." Lin Ying heard the movement outside, stretched out her head to look, and said lightly, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes, she didn't expect that there were so many crucian carp in an ordinary pond, and it looked like a few of them could already be listed.

"Oh, parasite." Li Feng was shocked, don't think about it, it's not right, it's impossible, it's to add spring water every day, by the way, yesterday, Li Feng patted his head, he didn't add spring water yesterday, is this the reason, maybe it's to catch up with the clouds. Li Feng fished out a few fish with a net pocket, broke the gills, and looked at it, it's okay, could it be that the nitrite at the bottom of the pond is too high, Li Feng dug up the silt, looked at it, and it was okay.

"It seems that there is a lack of oxygen, you have too many fish here, I really don't know how this fish grows so big, strange." Lin Ying walked around the pond, quite puzzled, it shouldn't be reasonable, but the facts are in front of her.

"This... This may be good water quality, a lot of plankton, not to mention, eat, eat. Li Feng secretly wiped his sweat, this matter is not clear, I really didn't find that this girl with a tendon still has some knowledge.

"It's time to eat, don't look at your little rabbit, you can't run away." As soon as Lao Wang heard about eating, the fishing rod in his hand was still there, and he clapped his hands, but there is lotus leaf rice today, and he hasn't eaten this bite for many years.

"Uncle Cheng, you go first, the door, I'll lock it." Li Feng beckoned a few people to go first, and turned around to see Lin Ying standing aside. "Why, don't go, eat, go, I'm going to lock the door." Li Feng looked at the girl, a little anxious.

"Then I'll go, you let me, I don't have any money for you." Lin Ying was a little twisted, and her face was faintly flushed. "No money, just a meal, let's go, really, mother-in-law."

"You, huh." Glaring at Li Feng, Lin Ying picked up the struggling hairball and ran out of the peach orchard. The fat boy was in a dilemma, looked at Li Feng, glanced at it again, and the few people who walked away didn't know who to follow, but this guy knew very well that he was not here to eat. "Go ahead, I really can't help you." Don't look at this body getting taller and taller, the fat boy pretends to be cute or invincible, watery eyes, looking straight at you, affectionate in his eyes like reuniting the two after a long absence, Li Feng smiled and shook his head.

Watching everyone leave, Li Feng hurriedly entered the house, got into the space, took out a bucket of spring water, poured it into the pond, and waited for three or four minutes, the crucian carp ball slowly dispersed, and only a few sporadically swam four or five centimeters below the surface of the water. Seeing the pond return to calm, Li Feng breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't live here and made things a little difficult, so he simply poured a few more buckets of water, and while there was no one, Li Feng took five or six buckets of spring water and poured them into the pond.

The lotus leaf rice at noon, everyone applauded again and again, the light lotus fragrance, accompanied by the fresh taste of lotus leaves, there is no bitter and astringent taste of traditional lotus leaf rice, and the refreshing taste is matched with hors d'oeuvres. The lettuce salad is only four or five centimeters on the top of the tip, peeled, shredded, and shredded cucumbers and kelp strips, but the boiling water is crisp, refreshing, and has a faint sweetness.

A few small stir-fried, the shredded eggplant is new and tender but more than ten centimeters, delicate, the green pepper is slightly spicy and sweet, Lin Ying couldn't stop eating, praised Zhang Lan's good craftsmanship, so that Zhang Lan was quite face-saving, thinking about what Li Shan told her at noon, she breathed a sigh of relief, just love to eat, more than one person has more than two pairs of chopsticks. It's not easy for a girl to come out alone, Li Shan looked at it and nodded, at least people are not picky.

In fact, they forgot that the food produced in their own vegetable garden did not say anything about the taste, and the people in the city bought a lot of it last weekend.

"Try the soup, crucian carp tofu soup, hehe, Xiaobao said add some vinegar to enhance the taste, you can try it." Crucian carp is the most convenient, and several elderly people cook by the pond for half an hour every afternoon, and the fish they eat for a day are available.

"Yes, the soup is like jade, the tofu is its own tofu, no gypsum powder is added, the taste is delicate, soft, and the soup is fresh and delicious." Lao Wang scooped half a bowl, and after tasting it, he praised it.

Lin Ying was a little skeptical, and took a bite, "Is this fish wild?" It's delicious" not to mention that the meat has a hint of strength, slightly sweet, but it is not a wild fish, and it can't be fed in captivity, besides, today Li Feng poured a vat of spring water, and the taste is absolutely delicious.

"Hahaha, this girl, we people in the mountains haven't bought fish to eat, but we don't catch them in the water, hehe, you have to like it, my aunt will make it for you every day." When Zhang Lan and the others heard the music, Lin Ying was quite embarrassed.

"Hehe, isn't this fish the fish you saw at noon, the fish in the pond, I want to eat the net and pull it a few times, it is guaranteed to be enough for you to eat for a few days." Lao Cheng looked at the girl and was a little bored, so he hurriedly changed the topic.

"Impossible, the pond was not raised by Li Feng, how could it taste so good." Lin Ying didn't believe that the person on the other side had this craft, and she didn't know if she was sick or starved of oxygen when she was starved of oxygen.

"Who said he raised it, pond fish are originally wild, and they feed on aquatic plants and plankton." I haven't seen Li Feng feed it once these days, but the yellow eel in the ditch has been fed a few times, but several old people haven't seen the yellow eel for a few days, and they instinctively think that Li Feng is just idle and messing around.

After lunch, Li Feng carried a bamboo basket on his back alone, walked along the mountain road, walked towards the bamboo forest, and made meat porridge at night, planning to dig up some tender bamboo shoots. For a few days, I didn't eat it, and I thought that the bamboo shoots were tender, so I dug some before the rain, and the bamboo shoots grew too fast after the rain. Most of the bamboo shoots have grown to be one person tall, and it is common for this thing to grow dozens of centimeters overnight. People in the mountains often say that the sound of ghosts in the bamboo forest at night is not that the bamboo grows fast, and the sound can be heard, but there has been no heavy rain recently, but it is not too fast. Li Feng took out the shovel and looked for the bulging bamboo leaves, these bamboo leaves have accumulated over many years, more than ten centimeters thick, Li Feng is looking for bamboo shoots without outcropping, tender, and eaten after passing through the water.

Luck was good today, it didn't take long, I dug three or four, weighed, enough to eat two meals, Li Feng patted the grass blades sticking to his body. Walked around the bamboo forest, a little disappointed, I didn't see it, maybe the reason for the lack of rain, I can only replace it with a dry one, and there were some before.

…………

I finally got the contract done, and I was relieved, and I was depressed after writing an outline for most of the day. It's hard to write, I'm sorry to say here. It's so late today, and tomorrow I'll look at it and try to be early.
