Chapter 69: God turtle lake
"Gollum, drive, drive, big bird, run, run."
On the gold-like desert, a group of ostriches ran on it unhurriedly, Yuan Yuan was held in his mother's arms, sitting on top of the ostrich king who Cai Hongming had trained quite meekly, and kept shouting and screaming, very excited. She stayed in the city of the steel jungle all day, no matter how she rode an ostrich or saw the desert full of yellow sand, it was so fun that she didn't want to go back.
Cai Hongming looked at Yuanyuan, who was so excited that his little face was flushed, he was really in love, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows at Shi Wan'er next to him, and said in his heart that it would be good if he could give birth to such a cute little guy.
Shi Wan'er glanced at him angrily, and the style of that glance was like the song "You are the wind and I am the sand, lingering around the world"
In order to make Yuanyuan happy, Cai Hongming specially asked Xiahou Kungang's daughter to play quietly with them, after all, children need a playmate to be lively. In order to take care of the children and several women, Cai Hongming called Liu Chong, Chen Dashan and others to accompany him, so as not to have any accidents on the way.
At this time, the two of them rode on the ostrich and saw Cai Hongming and Shi Wan'er flirting with each other, and they didn't feel tired, as if they were afraid that others had never married a wife.
But then Liu Chong sadly discovered that it seemed that everyone else here was married except for himself.
It's March, and it's the last mining season in Suoyang. Because after a winter of gestation, at this time of year, Suoyang will sprout, and it can grow, pollinate, and set seeds in dozens of days, and start a new round of growth cycle. Therefore, Cai Hongming saw that he had come out, so he wanted to dig a little Suoyang by the way. He knew there was a clump of white thorns growing nearby. It is also the white thorn and shuttle that he planted at home that have not grown well, otherwise he would not have to go outside to dig Suoyang and Cistanche.
However, it was quite fun to ride an ostrich to dig these things, and I remember that last time they went to Allah in large numbers. Shanzuo Banner digs Cistanche over there.
In the future, it may be possible to open up a tourist route of riding ostriches to dig Cistanche or Suoyang, but there doesn't seem to be so much to dig in the desert. It seems that you have to grow your own things, or you can only ride an ostrich, which is so boring.
Cai Hongming led them along the hillside, walked a few kilometers, and then turned to a ridge exposed on the yellow sand.
After walking for a while, I saw a large clump of white thorns growing in front of me. Miraculously, in the yellow sand next to this white thorn, there is a small water motlet.
The desert is indeed a place full of infinite magic.
When he came, Cai Hongming had already prepared, came over with a shovel and a bag, and specially brought a small shovel for Yuanyuan.
This gave him a little impression in front of Yuanyuan, and he no longer treated him like a strange Shu, which made Cai Hongming so moved that he was about to cry.
When he came to the place, Cai Hongming introduced it and asked them not to dig up the flowering Suoyang. Don't dig to the bottom of the roots, leave some for it to grow, and then leave them alone, and take a shovel and dig it aside. Liu Chong and Chen Dashan were not to be left behind, and they also took shovels to the side and dug up. This thing is a good thing, and it can be aphrodisiac when eaten.
Yuan Yuan took a small shovel and jumped to find a lock sun, and buried himself in digging it.
Dig, dig. At first she was very happy to dig. But after digging for a while, I saw that I hadn't dug up the roots yet. The little brow is tangled, why hasn't it been dug yet? However, she was not discouraged and continued to dig. Digging and digging for a while, finally digging to the roots.
The little one threw down the little shovel. grabbed the long lock and pulled it up vigorously, and sang while pulling it back: "Pull the radish, pull the radish, pull the radish", it's really funny.
I almost used my strength to eat my mother's milk. Yuan Yuan finally pulled out a lock yang that was almost half her height.
The little guy grabbed it and happily shouted to Su Wanyu who was guarding the side: "Mom, Mom, I dug it, I dug it." ”
At this moment, the heavens and the earth were eclipsed by her smile.
Su Wanyu lovingly took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sand off her daughter's little face, looked at it, her little hands were already red, and she couldn't help but feel distressed and hugged her tightly in her arms, but Yuan Yuan took the lock in her hand heartlessly, proudly showing off to the people around her.
The group dug up a bunch of Suoyang and came back to Shi Jingxing, but Yuanyuan didn't care, just took Suoyang to show off the fruits of her hard work with everyone.
After eating at noon, Cai Hongming had nothing to do, remembering the fish roe that he had pickled at random after killing the fish last time, and it seemed that he hadn't processed it yet, so he walked to the kitchen.
The black roe, which has been slightly salted with salt, looks good, but this does not meet Cai Hongming's requirements, because the salty and fishy smell is too strong, and it is difficult for ordinary people to like it. So he's going to work on it a little more. He found a few recipes suitable for soaking fish roe from the countless plasters at home, picked them out, boiled them into juice, and then diluted them into a certain proportion to soak the pickled fish roe.
Most of these prescriptions have the effect of nourishing the body, and if you can soak it in fish roe, it will be beneficial to the body if you eat it. But after diluting it, he found that some of the medicines seemed to be too bitter.
The bitterness of the medicine combined with the saltiness of the roe makes it difficult to eat. In the end, he had to remove the prescriptions, leaving only one. This prescription is filled with ginseng, Huaishan and other medicines, which have the effect of tonifying the kidney and helping yang, but the medicinal taste is still too strong. He picked out a few herbs with a strong medicinal taste, so that the diluted liquid was just right for soaking the roe. It's just that the effect of the medicine is a little different from the original prescription.
However, this is fine, like this often eaten caviar does not need to be too strong, it is best to be mild.
The roe needs to be soaked in the diluted liquid for a day and a night to remove the fishy smell and most of the salty taste, but this does not mean that the caviar has been successfully made, and it needs to be soaked in a clear spring for a period of time to remove the medicinal smell.
This clear spring is not ordinary spring water, but the well water from the well that Cai Hongming found on the mountain.
He found the well to be the sweetest of any water he had ever drunk. Soaking the roe with the natural sweetness of the well water not only increases the sweetness of the roe, but also removes the excess medicinal flavor from the roe, allowing the flavor of the pickled caviar to blend with the medicinal flavor of the immersion.
Finally, he puts the finished caviar into custom-made glassware.
Making caviar is not a success, but it must be recognized by everyone after tasting it. If everyone thinks the taste is okay, he wants to make the caviar he made into a brand, which is called (Godturtlelake), and the trademark is the dragon turtle in the lake.
After loading the caviar, he called Wan'er and Su Wanyu. On the farm, they are probably the only ones who have ever eaten caviar.
He placed the caviar in front of the two of them and let them taste it.
The caviar is black and bright, with a fresh moisturization, and in the sun, it flashes a beautiful black light. Just looking at it, it makes people have a mouthful.
Shi Wan'er and Su Wanyu gently picked up a small spoon and scooped up a spoonful of caviar and put it in their mouths, the entrance did not have the salty taste of caviar that they had eaten before, but with a different kind of freshness, the liquid in the caviar broke out of the eggs when the teeth were bitten, and a salty and sweet smell with a grassy fragrance suddenly splashed into the taste buds and overflowed the entire mouth.
"Oh, where did you buy this caviar?" Su Wanyu covered her mouth in disbelief and asked softly.
"I did it myself." Cai Hongming said lightly.
"You did it?" Su Wanyu's eyes widened as if she had heard something incredible.
"How's it taste?" Cai Hongming ignored her, turned his head and asked his wife.
"It's delicious." Shi Wan'er did not hesitate to appreciate.
This is undoubtedly the best praise in the world, and Cai Hongming feels that his heart is blooming. If it weren't for Su Wanyu's presence, he would have wanted to hug his wife and gnaw hard.
"Mom, Yuanyuan wants to eat too." Yuanyuan, who was forgotten in the corner next to her, opened her mouth and shouted, but she pouted, expressing her displeasure that everyone had forgotten her existence.
Su Wanyu hurriedly coaxed her daughter and scooped a big spoonful of caviar for her to eat. The little guy laughed with satisfaction. Then, she turned her head to Cai Hongming and asked, "This is really what you did." ”
Cai Hongming nodded.
"Then you'll have to give me some."
"It goes without saying." Cai Hongming said with a smile.
"Do you want me to help you sell it, I have several friends running a hotel."
"No, my caviar isn't very productive right now, but you can bring some back and give them something to taste."
Su Wanyu glanced at him unexpectedly, and said that people are not simple now! said to be tasting, but as long as he tasted the taste of this caviar, it is estimated that other caviar will be difficult to eat, which makes him have a group of regular customers when he wants to sell caviar in the future. It's a better ad than a penny.
Of course, I don't know if Cai Hongming thinks so. (To be continued......)
