Chapter 486: Warm Dinner
As soon as Liu Zhu returned to the cave where he lived, he found that He Xiaofeng had already returned home, and was busy boiling cornmeal and wild vegetable paste in the kitchen. Fortunately, although Liu Zhu's martial arts are incomparable with Xiaoju, he can still retreat from the depths of the mountain alone. Therefore, I can often go to the places where the villagers dare not go to find food.
At home, there are wild vegetables and fruits that Liu Zhu picked from the depths of the back mountain, as well as wild things he hunted, which can be regarded as a temporary endure. But judging from the current situation, when it comes to winter, the situation is also worrying. That's why Lawson wants Liu Zhu to leave with his wife and children to find a way out, which is better than waiting hopelessly for everyone to stay together.
"Pillar, you're back! What about the old man? Just wait to eat! He Xiaofeng carefully put a big bowl of boiled corn paste, and then added a scoop of water to the pot, and after the corn with water in the pot boiled, he then tore the wild vegetables that had been washed on the side and added them to the pot by hand.
"The old man went back to his room to rest!" Liu Zhu looked around the kitchen while answering, and then asked with a puzzled expression, "Huh?" What about Jian'er and Feng'er? ”
"Oh, those two guys followed the two children of Aunt Hu's family diagonally opposite to the back mountain to dig wild vegetables and haven't come back yet!" He Xiaofeng continued to pull the wild vegetables in his hand and put them in the pot without raising his head, and at the same time said in his mouth, "The bowl of corn paste without wild vegetables belongs to the old man, you can serve it to the old man!" The old man's stomach is not good, eat it while it is hot, not only to nourish the stomach but also to nourish the body! ”
"Great! Daughter-in-law, you have such a good heart! And take care of people! Thanks to your body, the old man has been able to survive until now! Liu Zhu came to He Xiaofeng with a flattering face.
"Did you only know how good I was today? Go, go, go! Bring the corn paste to the old man, don't just be poor here! Although He Xiaofeng had a disgusted and impatient look on her face, the smile lines at the corners of her eyes and mouth had betrayed her happy mood because of listening to Liu Zhu's words.
"Then I'll go! I'll come back and talk to you about it later! Liu Zhu naturally felt the joy in He Xiaofeng's heart. I also left the kitchen with the big bowl of thick corn paste and went to Lawson's room in a happy mood.
Liu Zhu just left the kitchen, and the two siblings, Liu Jian and Liu Feng, pushed open the broken door of the kitchen with an excited face and rushed in, "Mom! Mother! ”
"Jian'er, it's such a big person, and it's so brutal! If you overturn this pot of porridge, you will be hungry tonight! When Liu Jian and Liu Feng rushed in, He Xiaofeng was carefully bringing down the pot of wild vegetables from the stove. At this time, I saw the posture of the two brothers and sisters. hurriedly protected the pot of wild vegetable paste and shouted.
"Mom, aren't we happy! Today we found some good things in the woods of the back mountain! Liu Jian smiled and grinned, and stretched out the clump of clothes he was holding in his hand in front of He Xiaofeng.
"What's good? Make you happy like that? He Xiaofeng looked at the bag in Liu Jian's hand suspiciously.
"Mom, it's a knowing larva! Hong'er and I ate at Aunt Hu's house! It's delicious! Today we found a lot of them in the woods where we dug up wild vegetables! Liu Jian was a little proud and carefully opened the lump of clothes in his hand. In front of He Xiaofeng's eyes is a white and fat wriggling pupa chrysalis, she also used to look for this kind of pupa in the woods of her hometown because she was hungry when she was a child and simmered it over the stove fire, it tastes good! The most important thing is that the person ate for a long time, and then came to the army. I heard from the doctors in the army that it was because this pupa was rich in protein. The nutritional value is high, and it is especially good for the body when people eat it.
"That's good stuff! Come on, I'll fry it in oil, and you go clean up first! He Xiaofeng looked at Liu Jian and Liu Hong's black hands. There is also a lot of dirt all over my body, and I am a little displeased. No matter how old this is, digging up a wild vegetable can make you look like a mud monkey.
"Mom. Can't blame us! Whoever let these bugs are in the dirt, we don't have shovels. I had to dig it with my hands and branches! Liu Jian saw his mother's unhappy look and hurriedly explained, while Liu Hong nodded his head vigorously on the side to testify for his brother.
"Got it! Still not going to clean it up? Help your sister wash it up too! He Xiaofeng glared at Liu Jian, and then took the big bag of insect chrysalis to clean and fry it. And Liu Jian and Liu Hong tidied themselves up and rushed into the first kiln room impatiently, this kiln room set up a kang table on the kang during the day, which is the place where the family eats, and the quilt at night is the bed where he and his sister sleep. Now the kang table has been set up on the kang, and the three adults have been sitting at the kang table for a long time.
"Mom, we caught so many bugs, why did we blow up such a small plate?" Liu Hong looked at the kang table and immediately screamed in disbelief.
"Mom left some and made breakfast for Grandpa Luo tomorrow morning! You see that Grandpa Luo is the oldest in the family, and his health is the worst, so he should eat more nutritious things! Mom knows that my Hong'er is the most sensible and capable! He Xiaofeng pulled Liu Hong to his side and sat down, explaining and comforting at the same time.
"Xiaofeng, it's a waste for my old man to eat, Jian'er and Hong'er are just when they need nutrients when they grow their bodies, you see that these two little guys have not only not grown in the past two years, but they have also lost weight into radish heads! What's more, this bug was caught by the two of them! Xiaofeng, don't leave it for me, take it out for them to eat! I'm happy to see them eat me! Luo Sen was not happy when he heard He Xiaofeng's words, and he ate batter without wild vegetables at every meal, which already made him feel very uncomfortable. Now that the two children have to leave most of it to him when they come back with some delicious food, how can he be embarrassed?
"Old man, don't worry, when we return to Kyoto, there will always be a way to keep them fed! You eat more, and when you're well, you can wait for me to come back and pick you up! Liu Zhu picked up the bowl containing the pupa and used chopsticks to pick up most of it into Lawson's bowl.
"Grandpa, eat more! I'm getting stronger, but when I get back to Kyoto, I'll have to buy a lot of delicious food! Liu Hong is also sensible, and at this time hurriedly covered her bowl with a pair of small hands, preventing Lawson from picking up the pupa to her. As for Liu Jian, he had already stood far away from the kang with his porridge bowl, which made Rosen look funny and moved. And He Xiaofeng felt a trace of unusualness from Liu Zhu's words just now.
A meal of dinner was finished as soon as you pushed me to let Zhonghe eat happily. And Liu Jian and Liu Feng were also very tired because they had been digging wild vegetables for a day, so they climbed on the kang and fell asleep early after dinner. As for Rosen, he knew that Liu Zhu would discuss his mention with He Xiaofeng, so he also went back to his room early to rest. (To be continued)
