Chapter Twenty-Eight: Eating and Drinking
Looking at Pang Xu's gobbling up appearance, Zhang Qian, who came with her, couldn't help but purse her mouth and laugh in a low voice.
Xu Xiaoli saw this scene, and she also felt that her boyfriend was indecent, so she twisted it on his back.
"Oh," Pang Xu was gnawing proudly, and suddenly felt a pain in his back, and couldn't help but cry out loudly, "What are you screwing me for?" ”
Xu Xiaoli didn't expect him to make such a loud noise, so she couldn't help but let go of her hand and said in a low voice: "There is no one to eat, is there a guest like you, and you are not afraid that the old classmates will see the jokes?" ”
Pang Xu only found out that Liu Junhao was also smiling at this time: "What are you laughing at, this is called beating is love and scolding is love, I said mouse, don't be idle, hurry up and cook, buddy is hungry after wandering around for a long time,"
Then he turned back to Xu Xiaoli and said: "You're welcome here, we have a good relationship with the mouse, don't treat yourself as a guest, you just treat yourself as if you are in your own home, just take what you like, and move him to poverty." ”
"You kid is getting more and more presumptuous, since you are the master, then you can also use your fortune hand to help me pick up Ju Ju Lian" Liu Junhao turned around and greeted the hairy child, "Go to the house and get a bowl to help Uncle pick up Ju Ju Lian" said he squatted on the ground and buckled the yellow-brown Ju Ju Lian.
"I said, rat, you're not going to let us eat this at noon, are you?" Pang Xu thought he was joking at first, but when he saw Liu Junhao really squatting down to pick up the dirt and grass residue on the ground, he asked a little confused.
"Don't worry, this thing is delicious, keep you wanting to eat it at noon today." At this time, Professor Zhao also followed the hairy child over, and when he heard his words, he answered.
It is a lichen that grows mainly in the soil under the roots of trees in the grass, and is somewhat like fungus, but it is very sticky. This thing is also particularly drought-tolerant, don't look at the sun on a hot day will dry the ground, Ju Julian is scorched on the ground, but as long as it rains, it will come back to life immediately, and the water is smart.
Don't look at this thing growing on the ground, it's dirty, but it tastes particularly delicious, crispy and refreshing, and after being fried in a pot, it is better than meat with sesame oil.
Professor Zhao looked down on this kind of dirty thing at first, but after Liu Junhao's repeated recommendations, and seeing that he ate so fragrantly, he couldn't help but clip a chopstick, and immediately applauded deliciously, but he fried half a plate of Ju Julian that day and was eaten by him alone.
Liu Junhao's corner of the wall happens to be shaded and guttered, so the ground has been wet, especially suitable for the growth of chrysanthemum lotus, Professor Zhao has tasted it once, basically every three or five days to pick it up in the backyard.
Zhang Qian and they listened to what Professor Zhao said so sincerely, so they believed it, and picked up Ju Julian in the shade of the tree one by one, plus a total of 6 hairy children, they moved naturally and quickly, and they picked up most of the bowl in a short time. Then throw Ju Julian in a bucket and rinse for half an hour, rinsing the dirt and grass residue on it.
Liu Junhao asked Pang Xu to go to the chicken coop to pick up eggs, which made this guy keep muttering, he really regarded himself as a buddy, Zhang Qian's family is in the city, although he has eaten a lot of eggs, but it is the first time he has experienced picking up eggs, so he also volunteered to go.
As a result, as soon as her hand reached to the coop, she was startled when she saw the half-grown hen with a red comb, and then the hen pecked at her with her neck stretched.
"Mom!" She was so frightened that she squatted on the ground, and no longer dared to put her hand into the chicken coop, and saw Liu Junhao casually take out four or five eggs, and suddenly felt a little angry.
In fact, there is a trick to picking up eggs, that is, starting from the back of the hen, due to the point of view, the hen can't see anyone digging eggs behind it, even if it touches the bottom of the body, the hen is just moving the nest, very brainless. Like Zhang Qian's blatant behavior of reaching out to the hen's mouth, who will she peck if she doesn't peck her?
Speaking of which, Professor Zhao bought more than 20 hens and began to lay eggs more than a month after they were bought, and often laid double yolk eggs, which were very large.
Fried yellow eel, braised fish, eggplant, chili tomatoes, etc., as long as there are any, Liu Junhao has managed to get them on the table, and the old classmates don't come back easily, of course, they have to be entertained well, and the portions are also sufficient, all of them are full of bowls.
The half-sized table in his house was just down, and there was no place to put more bowls. After the meal was served, Professor Zhao urged: "Xiao Hao, hurry up and contribute the monkey wine, I have been hungry for half a month, old man." ”
"Uncle Zhao, is there such a thing as you, I think about my little wine every day," Liu Junhao had already meant this, and of course he would not shirk it, and got up and went to the corner of the wall to dig the jar buried in the ground.
Professor Zhao turned back to Pang Xu and smiled and said, "The old man entrusted you with your blessings, and finally let this kid take out the monkey wine, and every time he drinks these days, he chirps crookedly." ”
After he drank monkey wine once, he never forgot this original mountain wine, but Liu Junhao didn't get much monkey wine back, so in order to keep the water flowing, he was given a bowl every week, which made Professor Zhao always covetous.
Liu Junhao quickly walked in with a porcelain jar covered with wet soil, wiped it with a towel, and poured a big bowl for everyone, even the hairy child did not skip it.
"Enjoyable, enjoyable" After a big bowl of wine was put down, Pang Xu let go even more, his clothes were flicked, and he ate the food bare-chested, Xu Xiaoli secretly pulled him a few times, but he didn't respond, so he had to give up.
But seriously, this dish is really delicious, especially the half-bowl chrysanthemum chrysanthemum lotus has become a rare thing, extremely delicious, as if Professor Zhao described it in advance and still want to eat it.
Xu Xiaoli was still paying attention to her image at first, but soon under the drive of Pang Xu, she couldn't take care of the lady anymore, the chopsticks quickly swept over the table and lifted, and the dish had already reached her mouth. Like a kingfisher fishing on the lake, in a flash, the fish has been caught.
Zhang Qian looked at these two people, and was suddenly a little speechless, it is really not a family, and she does not enter a family. It's just that although she is a little reserved, she also has a great appetite for the delicious food on this table.
The hairy child is a child in the end, under Liu Junhao's persuasion, he didn't know how to excuse himself, and after a while, he drank half a bowl of wine in his stomach, his face was flushed, and even his hands were a little difficult to pick up vegetables, Professor Zhao couldn't stop blaming Liu Junhao for having a bad stomach and amusing a child.
Everyone was eating, but the hairy boy and his father came to the door, and saw that the hairy child was sitting in the yard eating and drinking, and suddenly became angry, and explained it well at home, and came back after sending the black peeled melon, who knew that he was eating, and he didn't know to give the family a letter.
He just wanted to pull the hairy child away, but was grabbed by Liu Junhao, pulled on the table, and poured two bowls of wine before letting him go.
This is also the custom of Daqingshan to toast at the banquet, and sometimes even in order to let the guests drink well, the host will deliberately find a few to accompany the guests.
The meal was lively and lively, Pang Xu shouted that he would not leave anything today, and asked Liu Junhao to arrange a place for him to live early. As far as the three of them are well arranged, Liu Junhao's house is enough to live.
In the afternoon, I naturally sat in the yard chatting and playing cards, and waited leisurely until it was dark, and then it was time for the reserved program during this time. Knowing that this kind of thing is crawling on the ground almost all summer, from the beginning of June until the beginning of autumn, it has been crawling non-stop, and it is not less until the beginning of autumn.
This kind of life is a big shock to people living in towns, especially for Zhang Qian, who has lived in the city since she was a child, and in her impression, the countryside is synonymous with ignorance and backwardness. After watching the beautiful scenery reported by the TV station, she still didn't believe it, if it wasn't for the coincidence that she was interested, I am afraid that she would not have been able to enjoy such a life.
This trip to the countryside made her experience an attitude to life that she had never experienced before, and the people living here lived a leisurely life, without the impetuousness and restlessness of the city. And the environment here is more like a paradise, not only with small bridges and flowing water, but also small animals and wild flowers and wild fruits that can be seen everywhere......
