Chapter Forty-Six: When It's Cold, It Doesn't Taste Good
After peeling the pineapple, soak it in salted water for five minutes.
Bromelain can stimulate the oral mucosa, when eating, first soak the pineapple slices in light salt water before eating, you can kill protease, avoid the phenomenon of oral stinging.
After soaking, wash it again with water and cut it into small cubes for later use.
The diced pineapple fills a whole large glass bowl.
Chen Er divided a small bowl of diced pineapples and put them away, and most of the remaining diced pineapples were put into a juicer to squeeze into fresh juice.
"That's where the gel artifact comes inβagar powder!"
Add agar powder and diced pineapple to the juice, stir well, pour it into a mold, smooth the surface, and put it in the refrigerator.
"After it's set, take it out and cut it, and add the cream to it."
"However, I have to say that the cream of ancient times is still different from the cream we eat now......"
Chen Er hurriedly waved his hand as he spoke.
"However, ancient cream is more difficult to make, so I won't do it, if you want to know about ancient cream children's shoes, you can refer to the book "Heavenly Creations"."
After a while, the ham and bamboo shoot soup were also stewed.
Chen Er extinguished the fire in the stove before he lifted the lid to prevent the smell of smoke from entering the pot.
"Smelling this smell, I finally understand why Yangzhou people call it a sip of freshness."
As soon as the lid of the pot was lifted, countless hot gases were like torrential rain in the scorching sun, pouring a sizzling white smoke into the land.
There was an indescribable aroma in the humid heat.
It's a smell that is very close to the earth.
The aroma carries the most familiar scents to each of us.
It's like when I was a child, I walked around the stream that flowed slowly near my home, and when it rained, I took away a few petals or leaves from the river.
Moist and moist, but with an incomparably intimate sense of familiarity.
Chen Er couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The aroma swirls in the chest, with a warm stream of heat.
It's as if this breath is spring, and you don't have to look up to see the new green shoots overhead.
In the sunlight, it reveals a hazy yellow-green sheen.
"Alright, today's dish is ready."
Chen Er scooped a large pot of ham and fresh bamboo shoot soup into six large porcelain bowls.
Then put it into a black lacquered wooden food box.
Tea eggs invaded the earth: "Didn't Chen Laoshi cook his own dishes today?" β
Chen Er looked very righteous and awe-inspiring at the moment, "Don't eat, don't eat......"
"Lest you always say that I am a bully to you."
"Bye-bye."
Chen Er waved his hand at the screen as he spoke, and then turned off the live broadcast.
Walked out of the kitchen with the food box.
A neighbor's family was eating in the yard.
There happened to be a very luxuriant osmanthus tree there.
The neighbor's child jumped up and reached for a branch of osmanthus flowers, and then took a handful of osmanthus flowers down.
"You're doing it!"
The child's mother hurriedly put down the chopsticks in her hand and grabbed the child's ear.
"It's not good to eat! One day you know how to play! β
"Hurry up! Eat well! β
The child was dragged back to the table, reluctantly picking up the rice in the bowl.
His eyes glanced around, and then he saw Chen Er walking by the door.
"Uncle Ear is back!"
The child hurriedly put down the bowl in his hand, as if he had found an opportunity, and ran to the door with a "whew" and hugged Chen Er's thigh.
He raised a smile and looked at Chen Er.
"Uncle, when are you coming back?"
Chen Er reached out and stroked his messy hair.
"Just now."
When the child's family saw Chen Er standing at the door, they hurriedly walked over.
Say hello to Chen.
When they saw Chen Er holding a food box in his hand, they immediately understood the purpose of Chen Er's return.
"Now that you have a chance, your parents will be happy."
The neighbor's mother smiled comfortingly.
Chen Er smiled slightly, "Maybe." β
The neighbor's father reached out and patted Chen Er on the shoulder.
"I haven't seen you for a few years, but I've grown so tall."
Chen Er listened to the cordial local accent, and felt a little emotional in his heart for a while.
"Uncle, you can continue to eat, I'm going too."
A neighbor stood at the door, watching Chen Er walk out of the village, his figure disappearing on the path leading to the mountain.
It took a long time before he sighed, as if he was sorry and helpless.
Chen Er walked slowly along the path with a food box.
The tall trees on both sides of the path cast dappled shade.
It seems that every time you step on the ground, you can catch a halo.
After walking for a long time, Chen Er saw his destination.
It's a flat land with a great view.
A tall pear tree was planted on the side of the road, and its branches were already covered with green pears.
Smelling the aroma, it should be almost ripe.
I don't know when I can eat it.
Chen Er walked around behind the pear tree, stopped, looked at a small piece of dirt on the ground, and said, "I'm coming to see you again." β
In front of the small earthen bags are tombstones made of stone slabs.
After a long period of exposure to the wind and sun, the inscriptions on many tombstones are no longer legible.
Chen Er slowly sat down in front of the two small earthen bags closest to him.
Then take out two bowls of hot ham and bamboo shoot soup from the food box.
They are placed in front of two tombstones.
One of the tombstones reads Loving Father Chen Dong, and the other reads Loving Mother Xiao Ying.
Chen Er adjusted a more comfortable sitting position on the ground, plucked a wild flower on the ground and placed it in front of the tombstone with "Loving Mother Xiao Ying" written on it.
Then he plucked a dog's tail and placed it in front of another tombstone.
"Na, I'm not a partial, if you have a mother, you have it."
"Today's soup is good, fresh enough, and I haven't been back for a while."
Chen Er said, looking around, "Fortunately, the location here is good, and there are many friends around, so you won't be too lonely." β
After Chen Er finished speaking, he sat there quietly for a while.
Raising his head, he stared blankly at the leafy pear tree overhead.
It wasn't until a gust of wind blew and a few leaves fell that Chen Er got up from the ground.
"Okay, I'm going to see grandpa, grandma...... Too grandpa, too grandma. β
"This soup doesn't taste good when it's cold."
After Chen Er finished speaking, he picked up the food box, walked a few more steps inside, and found two other tombstones that were slightly older, each with a bowl of soup.
After a few more casual chatters, he picked up the food box again and walked some distance inside.
The further you go inside, the more desolate the cemetery becomes.
The font on the tombstone has also been changed to traditional characters, which looks very old.
Chen Er muttered to himself while searching for the tombstones of his grandfather and grandmother.
"Why didn't I find out that the two of them were buried so inside......
Finally, two dilapidated tombstones were found in the most corners.
Chen Er put the food box away, and then pulled out the weeds around first.
Only then did he bring out the two bowls of soup in the food box.
Chen Er had no impression of the second elder at all.
Not only did Chen Er have no impression of this, but even his grandparents did not have the slightest impression of the two ancestors.
Because the two ancestors died when Grandpa Chen Er was very young.
