Chen Yao distributed it to everyone without hesitation, Shopkeeper Chen didn't like sweetness, and Jiang Yu's share went into Jiang An's stomach.

Chen Yao didn't leave Yang Xuan in three sentences like before, but occasionally the intoxicated expression on her face still reminded Jiang Yu that this girl was still in a sweet love period - the previous events almost didn't affect her.

But when she thought of Yang Xuan, Jiang Yu couldn't help but want to frown, she always had a bad feeling, but she couldn't say it—maybe she was thinking too much?

Alas, forget it, she should honestly study and study cooking.

Shopkeeper Chen and his men were burning incense in the main hall, and they were going to listen to Buddhist scriptures, but few of the younger generation liked them, and Shopkeeper Chen was not reluctant to say that he remembered to come back for fasting at noon.

Everyone agreed with a smile, and they were all in the temple today. Thinking that we would have a picnic later, someone suggested that we should take advantage of this time to pick wild vegetables or something. As soon as this matter was echoed, the group went to the monks of the temple to borrow a few bamboo baskets and set off on their backs.

This season, the vegetables have not yet grown, but there are already a lot of wild vegetables. Mother-in-law, toon, bitter herbs, horsehead orchid...... Jiang Yu had already thought of a variety of methods in his mind while picking them. Jiang An also carried a small bamboo basket on his back, followed Jiang Yu excitedly, and asked a few questions from time to time.

"Auntie, what is this?" Jiang An squatted next to a big tree and asked, pointing to a black-green, black-green thing that looked like a "thin pigskin". He carefully poked his finger, soft, slippery, and a little transparent.

Jiang Yu glanced back and said in surprise: "Hey, Di'er!" ”

In modern times, it is an extremely rare wild ingredient, which is only available after the rainy season, and it is easy to dry and die after seeing the sun. It is born and died because of the weather, so it is also called "heavenly vegetables". In modern times, Jiang Yu has only eaten it once, because he tasted it when he was cooking for a rich man with his master.

What a bonus! Jiang Yu thought about it, maybe it was because of the rain a few days ago and the inverted spring cold, so this ear unexpectedly survived. It's a pity that it's only the size of two palms, so it can only be used as a small appetizer.

Jiang An looked at Jiang Yu carefully picking up the cloth on the ground, and said curiously: "Auntie, is this delicious?" ”

Jiang Yu shook the soil in the ear, "It's delicious!" Wait for my aunt to blanch it with water, then cut it into shreds, mix it with sauce, and take a bite, it is tender, soft and smooth, fresh and refreshing! After speaking, I couldn't help but lick my mouth, the fat and silky ears, if you don't cook a soup, it's much fresher than seaweed!

Jiang An couldn't help but swallow his saliva, "Then let's go back and do it!" ”

Jiang Yu pointed to the bamboo basket behind him and said with a smile: "This bamboo basket is not full yet!" Everyone has to eat, and it's not enough. ”

There were also guys who were not far away who heard these words and joked: "An An shouldn't be hungry!" ”

As if responding to his words, Jiang An's stomach made a "grunt" sound, which suddenly made Jiang An blush, and stammered: "I, we ......"

Jiang Yu burst out laughing, "Let's go, let's hurry up and finish picking it up and go back to eat fast!" ”

Almost everyone returned with a full load, and they originally wanted to go to the stream to catch fish, but they were stopped by Jiang Yu, saying that it was best to come and eat fresh food in the afternoon, and wouldn't it be better to eat fresh outside, and everyone thought about it, so they went back with wild vegetables on their backs.

The lunch meal is very simple, the rice is a bit like a Japanese cook, with white rice and brown rice, a little chopped cabbage, a little chopped mushrooms, a little diced bamboo shoots, a little salt and white pepper steamed together.

Jiang Yu thought that after adding brown rice, the rice would become a lot harder, but maybe it was to take care of most of the people who were fragrant, the rice was probably soaked for a while, and it looked a lot softer. The rice absorbs the sweetness of the vegetables, and the pepper brings a little bit of stimulation to the taste buds, which is very fragrant.

The side dish is a plate of pickled dried radish, which is refreshing and appetizing; A plate of fried tofu, about a centimeter thick, boxy, golden on both sides, sprinkled with salt and pepper, the skin cracks when you bite into it, the inside is soft and tender, and the bean is full of fragrance; A plate of bamboo shoots fried sauerkraut, the bamboo shoots are tender and crispy, and the monotonous bamboo shoots of the sauerkraut that have been soaked for a winter are instantly covered with a strong layer of sour and spicy taste; There is also a large bowl of cabbage soup, which is light and light, without much highlight, but it is especially suitable for finishing.

In this still slightly cold weather, this bowl of hot soup is comfortable! Leaning on the mountain to eat the mountain, the style is simple, but it is refreshing and delicious, and the food of Changqing Temple is really good.

The guys were still satisfied, but they were still a little dissatisfied—thinking about the fish in the Anshan stream behind the Evergreen Temple.

Before, the shopkeeper Chen discussed with the abbot about using the kitchen of Changqing Temple. The abbot hesitated, it was not without pilgrims to make such requests before, there were always people who didn't like vegetarian food, but most of them asked the restaurant outside to bring food. It's the first time I've cooked a dish...... The shopkeeper Chen said that they opened a restaurant, and if it really didn't work, he asked the abbot to find a place where he could cook. In the end, the abbot took a step and said that he could use the kitchen in the Evergreen Temple, but he must not make meat dishes, and he should avoid onions, ginger and garlic.

Since he is in a Buddhist temple, he has to abide by the rules of others, and the shopkeeper Chen happily agreed.

When I talked to the guys, everyone was a little hesitant, because although the food was fragrant, there was no meat! They want to eat meat! I want to eat fish! I want to eat big flavors!

Shopkeeper Chen shook his head, but still followed their wishes. Everyone cheered and went to the stream behind the Evergreen Temple, which happened to be a flat grassland, and there was no need to worry about an open fire.

Chen Yao took out a large piece of linen cloth from the package and spread it on the grass, and beckoned everyone to move a few stones. A man dug a shallow pit with a stick, and built two improvised stoves out of stones, leaving a large gap for firewood.

Jiang Yu took Jiang An to clean wild vegetables by the stream, and as soon as Jiang An touched the stream, he couldn't help but "hiss" and shrank back, "It's so cold......"

Jiang Yu patted her head, forgetting that Jiang An was afraid of the cold, she hurriedly said, "An An, go rest, don't touch the water." The stream in early spring, you're not in good health......"

Jiang Yu chattered while speeding up the speed of washing vegetables, not noticing that Jiang An's happy appearance suddenly dimmed. He looked at Jiang Yu silently, because the weather was cold and the river water was cold, and his aunt's hands were a little red from the cold. If it weren't for his frailty, he would have wanted to help his aunt. However, Jiang An still said "um" very lightly, "Auntie, don't get cold." ”

"Don't worry, your aunt is in good health."

As she was talking, Chen Yao also came over with two bamboo baskets, and seeing that Jiang Yu was busy, she said to Jiang Yu with a smile: "I'll help you!" ”

As she spoke, Chen Yao took out the ear from the basket and was about to put it into the river to be cleaned, Jiang Yu's eyelids jumped, and she hurriedly took the ear from her hand: "Let's do it, this thing is not washed like this." ”

After Jiang Yu finished speaking, he picked up a stone with a shallow pit by the river, took a few handfuls of water into it, and then soaked the earth ear into the water.

Chen Yao hadn't eaten this before, so she looked at it curiously and asked, "What is this, can't you wash it with river water?" ”

Jiang Yu shook his head, picked up a piece of it and chatted with her, "This is the ear, you see that it has a lot of folds, so it is much better to soak it for a while first, soak the impurities out, and then wash it with river water." And the ear is low in fat, and you can lower fat and lose weight after eating it......" Speaking of this, Jiang Yu suddenly closed her mouth, she seemed to remember that the Jiang family's recipe recorded this thing, in the second half of the recipe...... And she seems to be talking too much, how can Chen Yao, an ancient person, understand what she says about these low-fat and not low-fat things? Jiang Yu regretted it a little for a while, but just pursed his mouth.

Chen Yao tilted her head, a little confused, she didn't understand a word of what Jiang Yu said just now: "What fat reduction?" What is that? ”

"Ah, it's just that you don't get fat after eating," Jiang Yu hurriedly interrupted, for fear that Chen Yao would ask more, so he lowered his head and did his own work, "Let's wash it quickly." ”

A few more men followed, and collected a lot of firewood, so they came to catch fish, and one by two took off their trousers and socks on the shore, rolled up their sleeves, and stepped into the stream, and the first one could not hold back his feet.

This action fell into the eyes of the guy behind, and the guy behind laughed: "Hey, He Hao, aren't you weak and afraid of cold!" ”

This sentence provoked good-natured laughter from the guys, men are the most afraid of being said to be weak, and He Hao is no exception. When Chen Yao heard this, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle twice, her eyes turning around on them.

He Hao snorted and replied loudly to the guy's words: "you, you're weak!" "He is a big man, how can he be said to be weak! After speaking, he secretly glanced at Chen Yao again, puffed up his chest, and patted twice very confidently.

Everyone burst into laughter again, and even Jiang Yu couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth.

At this time, the fish had just raised fish roe, and the meat was fat, and there was a fish pond near the man's house, and he knew how to catch fish, and at this time he used a sharpened wooden stick as a harpoon, and it was a fish without a few inserts; Some of the fellows seemed to be unable to master the technique, and when they saw that they were about to insert it, the fish swam away nimbly, so as not to cause themselves to suffer.

He Hao quickly inserted one, the fish was not small, the wooden sticks were inserted into the body of the fish, it was still alive, fluttering and seemed to want to escape. He Hao grabbed the fish and threw it on the stone, and the fish was stunned.

His movements were neat, and other guys saw it and patted He Hao on the shoulder, "It's really true!" After saying that, he laughed, as if the topic had not yet passed.

He Hao wanted to refute a few words, but as soon as he turned his head, he saw Chen Yao smiling so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist, and he didn't say anything when he saw that she was happy, and touched the back of his head, "I'm too lazy to bother with you!" Grab a few more! After a few days, there will be fish roe, and the meat will not be so fat! ”
