Chapter 100: Let's go to the lake
Shen Shuang couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard her grandmother's words of yelling in her heart, to be honest, she got goosebumps when she heard the brown rice.
There are three sacks of brown rice in the cellar of the Shen family, this brown rice is really rough, or her grandmother Wan spent less than half the price of ordinary brown rice in the town, the reason why it is so cheap is also because the brown rice is mixed with a lot of stones and sand, and one sack is moldy because of water immersion.
Every time Shen Shuang saw her mother cooking that brown rice porridge, she was scared, if she really put the brown rice in the pot and cook it with the chicken, it would really be a waste of good things, and it would be a shame that her milk could think of it.
Shen Shuang also had an excuse to scold Wan's, "Milk, if I put brown rice in it, how can Miss Jiang drink porridge?" She doesn't want to eat this brown rice that she can't swallow, and besides, this chicken was brought by Miss Jiang, so I can't keep it for us to eat by ourselves, right? ”
Hearing Miss Jiang's three words, Wan Shi couldn't help it, but she still didn't give up, "Then you can't be so wasteful, why don't you put more water?" Everyone, you hurry up and scoop the water with a melon scoop to boil it. ”
Xu Shi was about to scoop up water when she heard it, she had always been thrifty, in fact, she was not very willing to drink such thick porridge, Shen Shuang grabbed her and didn't let her go, just when the old man Shen heard the voice and walked out of the hall with his hands behind his back, listening to so many words from his old wife and son, he also directly shouted to Xu, "What are you rushing, you are not allowed to go." ”
Old man Shen saw the porridge in the pot, there were green onions floating on it, and a fragrance of chicken and lean meat came to his face, he really hadn't drunk such a taste of porridge, if he really put brown rice or flushed water, the taste would be light and absolutely tasteless, he turned his head to look at Wan Shi who was pulling his face on the side, "Isn't this very good, it smells so fragrant, you flush so much water into it, how can you drink it from Miss Jiang?" ”
Wan's mouth moved, but it was not easy to refute her old man, and in the end she had no choice, she could only pick up a bowl of chicken porridge with a distressed face, and then stood directly by the stove while drinking porridge and gnawing on the wowotou, scolding Shen Shuang and Xu's losers in her heart while eating.
Shen Shuang silently gave her father a thumbs up, fortunately her grandmother still has someone to treat, otherwise it would really be upside down, as for her grandmother to scold her in her heart, she doesn't care, anyway, she can't hear it, and she won't have a few more pieces of meat if she is scolded.
While talking, except for Shen Cuini, who had not yet gotten up, and Shen Chuntao, who had not come out of the house, everyone drank chicken porridge silently.
Because it is cooked a lot and the portion is sufficient, everyone can drink several bowls, and with sweet potatoes and wowotou, it is absolutely full, and even Uncle Mo, who slept in the carriage last night, drank several bowls and nibbled a few wowotou.
After breakfast, Wan and Xiao Wan picked up the 'good' things on their backs and took Shen Cuini back to her mother's Wanjia Village, while Old Man Shen went down to the ground with Shen Musheng and Shen Zhuzi.
Shen Tusheng didn't go to the town, seeing that Jiang Zitong hadn't gotten up yet, he couldn't see anyone, so he had to go down to the ground with a hoe, and by the way, he found an opportunity to inquire with Shen Musheng about the situation.
Shi and Xiaoshan are now good buddies, and the two of them took a dustpan to the creek early in the morning to catch river clams, saying that they wanted Jiang Zitong to also taste the delicacies of their Xishan Village, and fried river clams with peppers.
As for the Xu family, after washing the clothes early in the morning, he went to help Xiao Wan's who went to his mother's house to cut the pigweed, after all, it is not okay for this pig not to be fed for a day, and Shen Shuang is not easy to say.
When the sun was three poles above the sun, Jiang Zitong, who couldn't move the thunder, opened his eyes and woke up, at this time Shen Shuang was drying peach blossoms and Chaotian peppers.
She took out the peach gum and threw it in a wooden basin to soak her hair, planning to cook some peach gum white fungus as a dessert in the afternoon, and she was happy when she thought of the sweet peach gum snow fungus syrup.
Shen Shuang didn't expect her mother to pick the white fungus back when she picked the black fungus yesterday, which became her unexpected joy, after all, the white fungus is also snow fungus, usually she used to throw it in the pot and boil peach gum snow fungus syrup water to drink, plus Jiang Zitong also took brown sugar yesterday, which can be regarded as letting her realize her wish to boil sugar water.
Not to mention anything else, there are really not many things she can eat here to replenish her body, and this peach gum is a relatively special one.
She was going to go to the swamp to have a look, and when she came back, she thought that she would take time to go over and see the little hunter, and send him some pork to boil porridge, although his body recovered well, but after all, he was seriously injured in the fight with the tiger, and if he didn't take care of it well, he might fall ill.
After Jiang Zitong woke up, she washed up and found that no one was in the courtyard of the Shen family, after drinking porridge, she changed into a light men's clothes, still wearing a high ponytail, so she carried a basket and followed Shen Shuang, who was still carrying a big back basket, to prepare to go out, "Sister Shen, where are we going today?" Is it going up the mountain? ”
Shen Shuang was looking down for the sickle, "Originally, I planned to go to the swamp today to dig water chestnuts and catch loaches, but I think it's better to take you to the mountains to see the scenery and pick fruits." ”
Jiang Zitong heard the term swamp, she had also read it in a book, and quickly understood what place it was, she directly ignored what Shen Shuang said about water chestnuts and loaches, because she didn't know what they were.
"Sister Shen, is there a swamp here? What's over there? Will there be a lot of waterfowl? Uncle Mo is very good at archery and hunting, why don't we go to the swamp to play? ”
Shen Shuang suddenly remembered those wild ducks, and felt that it was not bad to eat ducks and find duck eggs to see the reeds, so he also nodded and changed his mind, and after discussing with Uncle Mo, the two of them went to the stream to find stones and go over with Xiaoshan.
Shi and Xiaoshan came over early in the morning, and cooperated to fish for an hour, at this time there were already most of the river clams in the barrel, and the little wolf cub on the side was lying on the side basking in the sun, seeing Shen Shuang coming, she screamed around her like a joy, Shen Shuang frowned when she listened, she didn't know how to raise a wolf cub into a puppy, but this little thing seemed to be too angry.
Jiang Zitong saw the stones and hills standing in the stream with his sleeves and trousers rolled up and holding a dustpan to pick up small pebbles, and leaned over to pick up the brown and yellow river clams with some curiosity, "Stone hills, what are you two doing?" This thing looks like a clam. ”
Hearing the clams, Shen Shuang turned his head to look at Jiang Zitong, "Zitong, have you ever eaten clams?" ”
Jiang Zitong nodded, "Yes, my fifth brother likes to travel everywhere, and every time he comes back, he will bring me very fresh things, I have beautiful shells and conchs, I have eaten this clam once, or he made a special trip to let people raise water to send back to the family, at that time there were shrimp and crabs, saying what kind of seafood, but it was quite delicious." ”
Being deep in the mountains, Shen Shuang really didn't know where to see the sea, but it was estimated that they were inland, and they had to be wealthy families who could eat seafood.
Shen Shuang squatted down and picked up a river clam to introduce it to Jiang Zitong, "This is a river clam, in fact, it is the same species as a clam, but the clam grows in the sea and is a saltwater creature, while this river clam grows in small streams, rivers and lakes, it is a freshwater creature, and it will be relatively small." ”
"Then they should taste the same, right?"
Shen Shuang thought for a while, "Actually, it's about the same, of course, the clams are big, and the taste will be better." I thought, if I can, Yun Lailou may be able to add this dish, stir-fried river clams with peppers, and I'll make it for you tonight. ”
Jiang Zitong nodded hurriedly, and also kept this matter in mind.
Shen Shuang hurriedly asked the two of them to get up, the river clam asked Uncle Mo to take it back, the four of them set off for the swamp, and Uncle Mo, who came back with the river clams, quickly followed.
Uncle Mo, who was carrying a wooden bucket of river clams, was in a somewhat complicated mood, he heard the conversation between Shen Shuang and Jiang Zitong on the side, and couldn't help but be a little curious about Shen Shuang's identity and knowledge, a village girl can also know that clams know the sea, coupled with her usual conversation, it is obviously not simple.
There were knives and bows and arrows under his carriage, and he had intended to go up to the mountains to hunt, but when he heard that he was going to hunt wild ducks, he was in high spirits.
When he came to the vicinity of the swamp, Shi Shi's face changed, and he hurriedly pulled Shen Shuang's sleeve, "Sister Xiaoshuang, how did we come here?" My mother said she couldn't come here, she said it was dangerous, and there were dead people here, so let's go back, okay? ”
Jiang Zitong looked at Shen Shuang in surprise when she heard this, she was really not very bold, she was originally jumping with great interest, but at this time, she shrunk her neck and looked around, and suddenly felt a little eerie, "Sister Shen, is what the stone said true?" Let's go back quickly. ”
Shen Shuang: "...... Don't be afraid, this swamp is easy to sink into, so let's be careful. Besides, there are so many of us here, and Uncle Mo is also there, so don't be afraid. In broad daylight, could it be that something else will pop up? ”
The stone scratched his head, seeing that there was no one around, he was still a little flustered, he pulled the hill, and finally did not run, but he was a little scared.
Jiang Zitong glanced at Uncle Mo who was following not far away, thinking that his kung fu was good, so he also put his mind at ease, "Then let's go, let's quickly hit the wild duck and pick up the duck eggs and go back." ”
Shen Shuang nodded, and led a few people to walk forward with a familiar car, she saw the loaches rolling in the field, it was really greedy, and halfway she also stumbled upon a piece of water chestnuts that was longer than before, but I didn't know if it was a swamp, and I had to explore the situation, but I thought it was not appropriate to take them to touch the loaches and dig water chestnuts, so I didn't stop.
The group walked straight to the direction of the reeds, neither the stone nor Jiang Zitong had ever been here, but they could see white water birds flying over the lake not far away, and those melodious reeds were very beautiful, the two of them had long forgotten the horror here, and chattered Shen Shuang to talk.
"Sister Xiaoshuang, I haven't been here yet, Xiaoshan, do you think my slingshot can knock that bird down."
Shen Zhuzi made slingshots for the stone and the hill two days ago, and the two of them played with the slingshot everywhere in the past few days, and at this time they were still thinking about the water birds flying in the sky, Shen Shuang was a little helpless when he heard it, and turned his head to look at the muttering stone and the hill, "Then why don't you two try it in a while?" ”
Shi He Xiaoshan nodded hurriedly, picked up the slingshot and shook it, Shen Shuang thought in her heart, feeling that if the two brothers could fight, it was estimated that she would be able to catch the waterfowl with her bare hands.
