Chapter 7 Learn to grow vegetables
86_86881 "What you said is true?" Where are the fish? The bolt baby was immediately attracted to attention and asked curiously.
"You'll know if you're here in the afternoon!" The forest fish sold a pass.
"Okay, I'll go back to dinner, and you'll show me the fish when you come over in the afternoon." Seeing the appearance of the forest fish in a relaxed state, the bolt baby knew that it would definitely be no fun to stay, but she wanted to see what the forest fish said about catching fish, so she had no choice but to pull the apricot and ran back.
The bolt baby was in a hurry, and the apricot she pulled was stumbling and almost tripping, so the apricot scolded the bolt baby angrily, and the voice became farther and farther away with the departure of the two.
Lin Yu looked at the direction in which they left, and when he couldn't see anyone, he picked up the tools in the yard and prepared to cook.
"Sister, is this what Sister Apricot's family gave us? Do we have food to eat? Ling'er followed her into the house and asked when she saw the two sacks on the ground.
"Yes, this is a loan from Sister Apricot's family, there are soybeans and sorghum rice in it, we can eat it for lunch today." Lin Yu happily replied that she would make sorghum rice for lunch. Although she had never eaten this kind of multigrain, it was a kind of grain, and she couldn't wait to taste it.
"Okay, I finally don't have to eat just vegetable mush." Listening to Lin Yu's words, Ling'er also clapped her little palms happily.
"Oh......" Qi'er, who had just entered the house from outside, looked at the two sisters smiling like flowers, and clapped her hands happily.
So at noon, the forest fish boiled porridge with sorghum rice, and then killed the two small fish left in the morning, wiped the hot iron pot with bamboo leaves, put the fish in and fried them on both sides, and then poured water and boiled them into fish soup. Rubbing bamboo leaves in a hot iron pot is what Lin Yu heard from the old man when he was a child, saying that the poor people in the old society would do that when they didn't have oil to fry vegetables. Lin Yu thought that this was not the case in his own house now, so he tried it, and when he fried the fish, he really didn't stick to the pan, but it was still much worse than the real oil.
When eating, the forest fish cleaned the fish bones according to the list, and the family ate a comfortable meal with sorghum rice porridge, and the stomach filled by grain made her feel full that eating wild vegetables could not match. The yield of sorghum rice is not high, in fact, it does not taste good, in modern society it is regarded as a coarse grain and health food, but in ancient times, it is the same as corn can fill the stomach. The three of them hadn't touched a grain of rice for a long time, and as soon as they entered this sorghum rice porridge, they felt that there was nothing more delicious than this.
Just after lunch, Lin Yu was about to let Ling'er and Qi'er take a nap, when the baby dragged the apricots over, shouting to watch the fish. Lin Yu couldn't cry or laugh a little, feeling that she was moving a stone to hit her own feet, she had to let Ling'er and Qi'er go to sleep first, who knew that they were also noisy to see the fish, so the five of them went to the river in a mighty way.
The fish basket was only put away in the early hours of this morning, and Lin Yu did not dare to hope that she could catch fish in such a short time, and she took a few of them to the river to satisfy their curiosity. Who knew that the natural products of this era were too abundant, and there were two kinds of fish, one large and one small, in the fish basket, and a few little ones jumped and jumped happily.
Only the bolt baby looked disappointed after seeing it, and he pouted: "You also call catching fish?" You know, I and the ironhead dogs have caught a few more fish than yours! After speaking, he looked disgusted: "You can't even stuff your teeth with this little fish!"
Lin Yu really couldn't laugh or cry, it seems that he still underestimated the children of this era, thinking that they only know how to play with mud at home.
After the baby finished speaking, she rolled up her trousers and prepared to go down the river. Apricot grabbed him and yelled: "I don't have a good line all day long, I deserve to be beaten by milk, I want to go down to the river on such a cold day?"
Seeing that Apricot seemed to be really angry, the bolt baby shrunk her neck, put down the hem of her trousers, and muttered: "I just want them to see how we catch fish, do you think I want to go into the water on such a cold day?" Cut~~"
Apricot glanced at Lin Yu, and both of them were amused by what the bolt baby said to justify herself, one kept shaking her head and the other pursed her lips and smiled. Although there were fish in the fish basket, but there were too few of them, Lin Yu released the small fish and caught the big fish, and then took the fish basket back to the river.
Ling'er Qi'er Shuwa came to the side to play again, and Apricot and Lin Yu broke up the soil they dug in the morning and sprinkled it with water, and then sorted the seeds and sprinkled them on it. Apricot is used to doing these things, and she looks very familiar, and Lin Yu can only occasionally take a hand next to her, so she has to silently write down these steps, hoping that she can stand alone.
After sowing the seeds, Apricot went to the pit to get the farm's fertilizer, diluted it with some water, poured it on it, and finally let the forest fish go with her to carry the hay and spread it, and then the vegetable planting work was completed. Lin Yu looked at every action made by the apricots and was full of emotion, she couldn't even compare to a little girl, it seems that the environment really created people, living in this countryside she has to learn like an apricot!
Apricot is so capable, Lin Yu couldn't help but praise her a few words, Apricot raised her little head without hesitation and said proudly: "These are all taught to me by my grandmother, our village is about the same age as mine, but I don't know much!" It seems that children really like to praise, and it is always right to say beautiful things in any era. Lin Yu held back a smile and nodded again and again: "Yes, I have never seen such a powerful little girl as you!" You're amazing! β
Busy afternoon, the yard dam in front of the door are planted with vegetable seeds, apricots said that these days are still a little cold, the hay on the top is used to keep the seeds warm, it is estimated that it will take a few days to grow seedlings out, to look at it every day, after a few days without germination you have to add grass.
After finishing speaking, she looked at Lin Yu and said, "Sister Yu'er, why don't I come to help you take a look at it every day, I like you here, and I am not allowed to go anywhere else, but I agree to come here."
Lin Yu smiled: "Okay, but why doesn't your grandmother want you to go out?"
"Hey, I blame my mother for this, she is not at home all day long, my grandmother is afraid that I will learn from her, saying that I am in the field all day long, and it will be difficult to find my mother-in-law's house at that time." The little apricot sighed and said.
"It's okay, grandma is also for your good, we girls really shouldn't show up often, if grandma agrees to you to come to us, we welcome you at any time!" Lin Yu listened to her words and comforted him.
"I will come often in the future, only when I come here, grandma will not beat me." Bolt Baby heard their words and interjected loudly.
"Did you eat too much? Why are you everywhere? When did you agree to you coming here? Apricot scolded back.
"Hehe, it's none of your business! Anyway, I just know that the milk agrees with me! Not to be outdone, the bolt baby pushed back.
"Okay, okay, you two don't fight, as long as Grandma wants you to come over, we're all welcome, okay?" Seeing that they began to quarrel, Lin Yu had to quickly persuade him to make peace, and told sΓΉ that as long as the two of them did not quarrel, she would grill fish for them to eat, and the two quickly shut up.
Several children have never eaten grilled fish, and after listening to the words of the forest fish, they can't help but be very happy, and they all immediately become well-behaved and clever, and ask the forest fish what they need to prepare? Lin Yu asked them to take out all the firewood from the stove and put it on the empty dam that had not been cultivated in front of the courtyard, and he went to the back of the house.
She stood by the river and looked into the fish basket again, and sure enough, there were several more fish in it, and she happily brought the fish back, which would be enough for them to eat if they grilled the fish later.
After pouring all the fish into the basin, she put the fish basket back in its place, and threw a few extra crickets dug up by Qi'er Ling'er into the fish basket. This cricket diet is also called the earth dragon, can loosen the soil can feed fish and feed chickens and ducks, is the most natural protein feed, she used to live in the era of the cricket diet can also be used as Chinese medicinal materials after drying, but I don't know that people in this era have discovered its medicinal value, if there is already this kind of medicinal materials, then she said no, can also increase a little income from here.
On the way back, she went to the foot of the mountain to pick some wild onions, ready to take them back to enhance the flavor of the grilled fish.
When she got home again, several little faces stared at the direction she came back expectantly, and they couldn't help but laugh when they saw her.
"Eldest sister, we've been waiting for a long time, why did you come back? Hurry up and grill the fish for us to eat! Qi'er ran over, pulled the corner of Lin Yu's coat and followed her as she walked.
Looking at the appearance of a few people who were anxious and didn't dare to complain, Lin Yu felt in his heart that they were really all snacks. Hearing Qi'er's words, she comforted again and again: "Okay, let's grill the fish right away, and we can eat it right away, don't worry!"
After finishing speaking, let Apricot take the lead in digging a small pit that could burn the fire, and he killed the fish quickly. After the fish was killed, the apricots and their small pit were dug up, and the forest fish let the apricots make a fire again, and he also cut the fish in half with a few cuts, and then brought a few sturdy branches to pass through the fish, put them on the fire and began to roast.
Apricot is definitely a very competent fireman, Lin Yu can make the fire bigger, let the fire be bigger, let the small she can be smaller, the two of them worked together for the first time, and they actually cooperated very tacitly. The other three little people couldn't help, squatting aside, their eyes kept turning with the fish in Lin Yu's hand, and they all looked salivating.
Lin Yu didn't care about them, but kept turning the fish in his hand until his arm was sore and weak, and the fish was crispy and browned, and then sprinkled some of the wild onions she picked and took it down.
The tempting aroma of grilled fish kept rushing to the nose, and even the forest fish and apricots couldn't help but start swallowing. A small portion was given to each of them, and the forest fish told them to be careful of the bones, and that they must chew them before swallowing them, and finally picked up their share and tasted it. This fish has not been polluted and has not eaten feed, although there is less salt and taste, but it is left in the original taste, the crispy fish skin is particularly delicious, and several people are still eating it
