Chapter 158, pour some mountain spring water
Obviously, Zhang Siwei and Xiao Mingyu woke up over there, and everyone got up to say good morning to each other, and then went to wash. Meng Ran and Nuo Nuo washed up at the same time, and inexplicably cutely cuted the director team backstage. took the clothes and covered the camera, Meng Ran walked out, after Nuo Nuo changed his clothes, Meng Ran came in and took down the towel on the camera, combed Nuo's hair, and tied a small braid.
Took Nono out and went to the table. Let's go. Meng Ran took a few bites of apple cake and said to Xue Ding: "Old Xue is okay, this apple cake is delicious." Xue Ding said proudly: "Of course! It's my exclusive production. If you call me Teacher Xue, maybe I can teach you how to do it! ”
Zhang Siwei complained on the side: "Isn't it just squeezing apples into juice and mixing noodles?" What's so hard about that? Xue Ding shook his finger at him and said, "No, no, that's not how to do it." It's okay to do this, but the flavor is very light and not so strong. Zhang Siwei scratched his head and asked puzzledly: "What other way can I do besides this?" ”
Meng Ran smiled, took a sip of milk and said, "Isn't this simple? Steam! As soon as these words came out, Xue Ding's face looked good, and he asked suspiciously, "How do you know that you want to steam it in a pot?" Meng Ran said with a smile: "When we were in the welfare home, we often steamed apples like this, which were very sweet, and it was also very suitable for children who did not have many teeth. I think the method of this apple pie is to peel the apples, put them in a steamer and steam them thoroughly, then add flour to make a batter, and then put them in the pot to bake. If I'm not mistaken, I think I used a coated pot, and an uncoated pot can't be baked like this. ”
"I... Coo! Did you peek at me making cakes? You're all right! Xue Ding looked at Meng Ran in surprise, although he didn't want to admit it, but he was indeed right.
Meng Ran finished breakfast, got up and put away the tableware and said, "This can also be made with bananas." The breakfast you made was not bad, and the lunch dinner was handed over to you! I'll take Nuno to the pond and wait for you first, you hurry up. ”
"Okay, you go first."
Nuo Nuo finished breakfast and left the house with Meng Ran. Meng Ran handed over Nuo Nuo to the proprietress, who had already prepared fishing tackle on her side, and a fishing teacher had also been arranged on the pond side. Meng Ran said to Nuo Nuo, and ran to the horse farm with his bag on his back.
Today, the masters of the horse farm are riding horses, except for the pony, the rest of the horses are released out of the horse farm to walk the horses. Meng Ran rode in front to chase his dreams, followed by the masters and the rest of the horses. There are ten horses in total, although they are not as magnificent as ten thousand horses galloping, but they also have some more beauty.
It was also the first time that the three masters had encountered such a situation. When I walked the horses before, I was wandering outside with my dreams, and the rest of the horses were also wandering, because the people who could control my dreams were the only ones who could control my dreams from the day the store opened to the present.
When he arrived at the creek, Meng Ran turned over and dismounted, opened his backpack and took out two large empty bottles from it, picked up some clear stream water, and put them in his backpack. Leaving Dream Chaser to rest by the stream, he took the telescope to find a high place to stand, looked at the surrounding scenery with the telescope, walked around, breathed fresh air, came back and took a few selfies with Dream Chaser, and said with Dream Chaser's face: "Dream Chasing, Dream Chasing, the place suitable for you is not here, but in the grassland." I think you are leading thousands of horses galloping on the grassland. If you have a chance, I will definitely take you to the grassland, and the two of us will have a good run on the grassland. ”
Dream Chaser rubbed Meng Ran's face, Meng Ran patted Dream Chaser's neck, touched its mane, turned over on the horse, and rode it back to the horse farm. The horses behind him saw that Dream Chaser moved, and they moved too. A few masters were sitting and resting, and when they saw the horse moving, they hurriedly ran over and got on the horse, thinking to themselves, this is almost not enough to catch up with the horse that goes back!
All the horses returned to the horse farm, Meng Ran rode to the front of the homestay, put the bag back in the house, and rode to the pond on the dream. By the pond, everyone was fishing, and even Nuno and his children were sitting there learning to fish. Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, everyone looked back, and Meng Ran rode a trotting dream to the edge of the pond.
"Huh..."Dream chasing slowly stopped, Meng Ran got off the horse, came over to say hello to everyone, took the fishing rod and bait from a fishing teacher, and sat next to Nuo Nuo to prepare to fish. The proprietress was about to call the master to sign the dream chase back, but Meng Ran stopped her and said, "Sister Qiu, you don't have to worry about the dream chasing, let it play, nothing will happen." When the proprietress heard Meng Ran say this, she didn't say anything, and let Dream Chasing play by herself.
Hang the bait on the hook, adjust the float, put the unexaggerated flick rod, hook the water very casually, set up the rod and sit on the chair. looked at Nuno next to him, and said with a smile: "Girl, how do you feel?" Nuno thought for a moment and said, "Little Daddy, it's so boring to sit, I don't feel anything else, I just can't catch fish." ”
Meng Ran smiled: "How can it be so easy to catch, you need to be patient." If you catch your dad, I'll take you to ride and chase your dreams, okay? When Nuo Nuo heard this, he said happily: "Okay, good! Nono has only ridden a pony, not a big pony yet! Meng Ran touched her head and said, "Good, Nuo Nuo has to be patient." We've caught a big fish, let's go ride a big horse and let Uncle Xue Ding make us fish for us at noon, okay? ”
"Good!"
Xue Ding scratched his head on the side, and was suddenly named, he wrote inexplicably, and said, "What does this have to do with me?" Meng Ran replied: "Aren't you cooking today?" I'll leave it to you for lunch when I catch a big fish, what's the matter, no? Xue Ding surrendered and said, "Okay, okay, you can do whatever you say, provided that you have to catch it!" ”
Next to him, Sisi said to Meng Ran: "Uncle Meng Ran, if Sisi catches a big fish, can he also take Sisi to ride a big horse?" Meng Ran looked at it and said that he was chasing his dreams and asked, "Chasing dreams!" Can you do it? ”
Dream Chaser snorted and nodded. Meng Ran smiled at Sisi and said, "Yes, Dream Chasing said it's no problem." Sisi said happily: "Thank you, Uncle Meng Ran!" Thank you for chasing dreams! "Chasing dreams and going for a walk with pride.
As he was talking, the fish drift fell down and floated again, Meng Ran looked at the fish drift with wide eyes, knowing that this was a fish trying to test it, and he didn't really bite the hook. Suddenly, the fish drifted into the water, and Meng Ran quickly picked up the fishing rod and dragged it gently. At this time, you can't be in a hurry, you have to fight the fish slowly. At this time, it is not strength that fights, but ingenuity. When everyone saw Meng Ran's posture, they knew that someone had taken the bait, and all their attention was on Meng Ran. Meng Ran lifted the rod and put the rod at the same time, it didn't seem to be much force, but he was retreating little by little.
Feeling that the fish in the water seemed to be less powerful, he lifted the rod hard, and a large carp jumped out of the water. The proprietress hurriedly caught the big carp with the net, and Meng Rang put down the rod, took the hook out of the fish's mouth, and put the fish into the bucket on the side. Everyone around cheered. Xue Ding came over and looked at the carp with a short arm, and gave Meng Ran a thumbs up in convincing and said, "Brother, we have lunch!" Meng Ran smiled and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you, eat squirrel carp at noon." ”
"What? I won't...."Xue Ding was stunned as soon as he heard the name of the dish, no matter how much this guy ordered hard dishes, he couldn't do it, what a whole thing. Meng Ran said: "This squirrel carp is sweet and sour, suitable for children, if you don't know how to do it, then I'll do it." But for the next leg of the trip, how about you cook for me for an extra day? ”
"I... You..."After a long time, Xue Ding said: "Okay, I'll do it." I'm not as perverted as you and can do anything, so I'll leave it to you at noon today. Meng Ran made an OK gesture and continued to hang up the bait and catch the fish.
Until noon, there were no more fish, everyone collected the rods, and Xue Ding carried the bucket and went back to deal with the carp first. There was no longer a dream chasing figure around the pond, the proprietress thought that Dream was running away, and was about to call someone to find it, Meng Ran's middle finger and thumb put it in his mouth and whistled, and Dream chased out of nowhere and ran over. Holding Nuo Nuo to chase dreams, first took Nuo Nuo to trot around and sent back to the homestay, and then came back from the homestay to send Sisi back, back and forth to send Ming Ming and Xiao Mingyu, and finally let the proprietress ride to chase dreams. The proprietress didn't dare, because she wanted to try to ride on Dream Chaser before, but she was thrown off by Dream Chaser and almost stepped on her, so she had a shadow on Dream Chasing.
Meng Ran patted Dream Chasing and whispered a few words, and personally helped the proprietress to ride Dream Chaser with Meng Ran's encouragement. This time Dream Chaser didn't throw her down, just like the rest of the horses reacted. Meng Ran gently patted Dream Chaser's butt and said, "Go, send Sister Qiu back to the racecourse, I'll take you out tomorrow!" Dream chased and roared, and walked towards the horse farm with the proprietress on his back. The proprietress thanked Meng Ran in surprise, and happily took a selfie on Dream Chaser to record this rare moment.
Meng Ran, who returned to the house, changed his clothes and washed his hands, and the children surrounded him and said that he still wanted to ride a big horse, so Meng Ran had to say that he could wait until tomorrow, which was regarded as sending these children away. He took out the two large buckets of stream water in his backpack and took out the teapot and kettle. He poured the water into the kettle, pressed the switch, poured some tea leaves into the kettle, and when the water boiled, he went to the kitchen to see how the fish were being handled.
The fish has been slaughtered, and even the fishy threads have been photographed. Xue Ding was cutting the meat and preparing to cook something else. The stream water had already boiled, Meng Ran poured the freshly boiled hot water into the teapot, told the children not to come over to touch it so as not to burn it, poured three cups of tea, waited for it to cool down, and took a sip of it himself, not to mention, this taste is really good!
called Zhang Siwei, handed him a cup of tea, and went to the kitchen with the teacup. patted Xue Ding, Xue Ding turned around and saw Meng Ran holding a cup of tea, ready to wash his hands to pick it up, Meng Ran directly took the cup and fed him to drink. Xue Ding tasted it for a moment, his eyes lit up, and said, "Hey? Lao Meng, don't say it, this tea is good. What tea is this? It feels familiar, but it's different. Meng Ran pointed to the tea box on the coffee table and said, "Gao Mo." Xue Ding said in surprise: "Don't tease me, what can Gao Mo be so delicious?" ”
"What am I kidding you!" Meng Ran pointed to the stream he picked up and said, "I used the stream water in a clear stream I encountered when I took Dream Chasing to walk the bend, it's not bad, right?" Xue Ding took another sip, nodded and said, "Don't say it, it's really good." This can't be mountain spring water, right? It's delicious! ”
Hearing Xue Ding say this, Meng Ran felt that it seemed to make sense. After all, Dream Chaser is the king of horses in the horse farm, can it drink ordinary water? It must be good water. Meng Ran thought seriously for a while and said, "I think what you said makes sense, it may be mountain spring water." In the afternoon, when the children wake up, let's go find out. If it's really mountain spring water, pour some back, boil it, cook rice, make tea, isn't it fragrant! ”
"Okay, then tidy!"
Xue Ding washed his hands, wiped them clean, took off his apron and handed it to Meng Ran, and said, "Chef Meng, wait for your squirrel carp, I'll make my dishes when you're done!" Meng Ran put on an apron, said yes, and went into the kitchen to cook fish. Change to a wheat ear flower knife, coat it with flour, and burn oil. Pour hot oil over the fish head with a spoon and fry it in a pan until golden brown. After the sauce is out of the pan, the sauce is poured over, and the squirrel carp is done.
After washing his hands, Xue Ding, who came out to pat the tea, said, "I'm done, it's your turn." Xue Ding put down the teacup and said hello, and went to the kitchen to work on him. Zhang Siwei drank tea and looked at the book and said: "Lao Meng, this water is really good, I just poured a cup of boiling water and took a sip, it is much better than the mineral water we drink outside." Meng Ran poured himself a cup of tea and said, "Let's go and see where the water source is in the afternoon, I think it should be near here, and I will pick it up when the time comes." ”
"This can be there."
When the meal was ready, the children came over for lunch and then went back to take a nap. The children can take a nap by themselves, Meng Ran took Xue Ding and Zhang Siwei to the living room sofa to sit down, took the record he made and said: "This is the record I made yesterday, yesterday we went to play, plus eating, buying ingredients or something, plus the room fee all together It cost more than 1,300 in total." Judging by the current situation today, it may not be as much as it was yesterday. The main thing is that I don't charge for riding Dream Chase now, so I still save some. Just kidding, I didn't care about the cost of their dream chasing for the sake of chasing dreams, otherwise it would be five hundred for a lap! ”
Xue Ding calculated that as of noon, it only cost more than 700 yuan, and if he rented an ATV to enter the mountain in the afternoon, plus dinner, it was impossible to be more than 1,500 yuan.
