Chapter 180: The Stormy Years (5)

Not long after, Cheng Gang was lying in the army's makeshift infirmary.

Cheng Gang seemed to wake up from the fog, he slowly opened his eyes and found that he was infusion.

I saw a medical soldier walking next to her, the medical soldier was a woman, the woman was dignified and elegant, she saw that Cheng Gang had woken up, so she naturally wanted to come forward to ask.

The female soldier comforted: "That's Duanmu Company Commander, you have to eat something in a while, you are about to be in a coma for a day!"

Cheng Gang's stomach, which had been in a coma for a day, had long been numb, but the pale face still couldn't hide the weakness of his body now, so he said to the female medic: "Hello, comrade. Why am I all here? ”

"It was your comrades-in-arms who sent you here, you were wet when you came, I heard that you were used as a flood control levee, to be honest, I admire you."

Hearing someone's appreciation, or a woman's appreciation, Cheng Gang was happy at the time and said: "It's nothing, these are as they should be!" After all, we are all soldiers, and protecting the safety of people's lives and property makes us all have our due responsibility! ”

When the female soldier heard Cheng Gang's answer with such a sense of justice, she said: "You are such a good person, you are rare." ”

Cheng Gang heard that the female soldier spoke with a little northeast accent, so he said to the female soldier: "By the way, girl, where are you from?" Listen to your accent, it's also from the Northeast. ”

The female soldier glanced at Cheng Gang and said to him: "Yes, I am from Linhai Province!" ”

As soon as he heard the female soldier say that he was his fellow countryman, the so-called fellow saw the villager with tears in his eyes, so Cheng Gang responded excitedly: "You are also from Linhai, and I am also from Linhai." ”

As soon as the female soldier heard that the man lying on the bed was also her fellow countryman, she responded: "Ah, we turned out to be fellow countrymen, where are you from Lin Hai?" ”

"I am from Liaoyuan, from Luxiang County, Liaoyuan City."

"I'm from Songyuan, I heard you say that your family is from Luxiang County, you must be rich in deer there."

"Yes, our family is the 'hometown of Chinese sika deer', and the abundant is sika deer."

"It's good, then you must have a lot of sika deer, right?" The female soldier asked curiously.

Cheng Gang shook his head and said to her: "In the past, we always told outsiders that our hometown was the 'hometown of wild sika deer in China', but now it has become the 'hometown of Chinese sika deer'." ”

"There used to be a lot of wild deer, but now they are basically domestic."

"Haha~ It's really interesting for you to speak, is that the deer have been domesticated?"

"Yes, they have basically been tamed and become domestic animals, and there are fewer and fewer wild sika deer outside. Hey~ Human beings, the destruction of nature is really endless. ”

"And do you have any other wild animals there? Isn't there just one sika deer? ”

Cheng Gang responded to the female soldier's question and said: "Of course there are a lot of animals, our hometown used to be called 'Royal Deer Park' in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which was the place where the emperor went out hunting in the past, and there were many birds and beasts at that time, including fierce tigers, fat black bears, wolves with strong combat effectiveness, as well as wild boars, stupid roe deer, and deer." Smaller wild animals include pheasants, ducks, hares, and sometimes red-crowned cranes. ”

After listening to Cheng Gang's explanation, the female soldier was shocked: "Wow, it turns out that you have so many kinds of wild animals there?" Commander Duanmu, haven't you seen any large wild animals? ”

Cheng Gang thought in his head for a while, and said to the female soldier: "I've seen wolves, really wolves!" In general, there are no wolves in the zoo, and they can only be seen in the wild. ”

"Why?"

"Because wolves are the wildest animals, there is a saying called 'wolf ambition', which means that wolves are difficult to tame." ”

"And when did you see the wolf?"

"I remember I was in my hometown, and one night I was walking at night, and when I was halfway there, I suddenly heard a wolf howl. When I heard a wolf howl, my heart beat and my hair stood on end, and I was terrified. ”

"What happened then?" The female soldier asked Cheng Gang curiously.

Cheng Gang replied; "I was scared too, but could I not be scared of a pack of wolves behind me? But I was in a hurry, and I began to howl loudly! ”

"Aren't you afraid of provoking the wolf?"

"Of course I was afraid, but that's what I thought at the time, wolves must be afraid of people, otherwise they would only come out and howl at night. So, I sent a signal to warn it that there were people here. ”

"And then?"

Then I hurried home, shouting as I ran. I ran home in a panic, hurried home, then turned around, locked the door, and looked out through the crack in the door, there were three creatures that resembled wolfdogs, and I dared to conclude that they must be a pack of wolves. ”

The female soldier listened attentively, and said to Cheng Gang: "The situation must have been very tense at that time, right?" ”

"No, it scared the hell out of me. When I got home, I told my parents, and my father was still running outside with a burning wooden stick and shouting, and then my parents told me not to go out at night in the future, and they wouldn't let me continue walking on that mountain road. ”

"Isn't there anything going on around your house? No offense, is it that those wolves just follow you home, and nothing else? ”

"I really didn't find anything here, but I found a few lumps of wolf around our house, and there was nothing left."

Hearing Cheng Gang say that the wild wolf didn't move at all, the female soldier was very surprised and said: "It is said that the wolf has a heart and lungs, and the tiger and the wolf are in charge, as long as it is a word that sticks to the wolf, it is not a good word, so I feel that the wolf will not have any good intentions." ”

"Not necessarily, although wolves sometimes seem to be more sinister. But it is a very spiritual animal. As long as you don't provoke it, it won't provoke you, they are actually more moral, more disciplined and organized than we think, so they are very advanced animals. ”

"Oh, that's right!"

At this time, Cheng Gang learned the name of the female soldier in front of him, and said: "Yes, by the way, girl, I've been talking to you for so long, I don't even know what your name is?" ”

"Well, my name is Liu Chufang, just call me Xiaofang (hereinafter referred to as "Xiaofang"). ”

"Xiaofang, it's a good name! Elegant, just like how you look. ”

"Hahaha~" Xiaofang was very happy, hearing that someone of the opposite sex praised her, her heart was beautiful, her face was red, and she was very cute.

At this time, the director of the temporary hospital came and said to Xiaofang: "Xiaofang, you need manpower here, come and help!" ”

"Okay, Director, I'll go!" Then he turned his head and said to Cheng Gang: "Duanmu Company Commander, don't be embarrassed, I'm leaving, let's talk to you about this first!" I'm going to get busy. ”

Cheng Gang nodded and said, "Go quickly, there are many people you can help now, go quickly, I can take care of myself." ”

"Then I'll go first!"

"Okay, go ahead."

In this way, Xiaofang turned around and walked out, Cheng Gang had an indescribable feeling in his heart, that feeling was so wonderful, it was a feeling that Cheng Gang had never had, comfortable, warm, and desirable.

A person's life is like a carpenter's bucket, and it is the same when it is made. But there are people with barrels of dung, some with spring water, and some with fine wine. The bucket filled with dung was hidden when others saw it, and became the object of contempt in the eyes of others; The bucket filled with spring water is carried by others when they see it, and it has become a burden that others must bear; The barrel filled with fine wine, others have to taste it when they see it, and it has become a must-have item for people to rejoice and delight. Therefore, man does not lie in his origin, but in his inner being. A valuable person must make his life full, not wasted doing nothing.

It was at this time that Lijia Village was still in the process of post-disaster reconstruction. And the old Duanmu family naturally wants to live in the new Duanmu family for a period of time.

One day, Cheng Xiong came back from work. Carrying a sack full of sea cabbage, Wanhui's mother Wei Qinglai is basically responsible for the housework at home. Wei Qing saw this sack full of sea cabbage, and couldn't help sighing: "Hey~"

For the Duanmu family, the source of non-staple food for a long time in the future may be this hemp bag of sea cabbage. After many years, Wu Lie will love to eat kelp when he grows up, maybe at that time, the family often eats sea cabbage, and Wei Qing made these sea cabbages particularly delicious, which kept reminiscing in Xiao Wulie's mind at that time, and constantly stimulated the pair of delicious classic memories in his mind.

Wei Qing has a very good way of cooking sea cabbage, and she usually cooks two kinds of sea cabbage (hereinafter referred to as kelp).

The first type is "cold kelp shreds".

First of all, take the raw materials: an appropriate amount of shredded kelp, 1 sharp pepper, an appropriate amount of red pepper, an appropriate amount of coriander, an appropriate amount of minced ginger, and an appropriate amount of garlic. Then there is the operation method: first of all, the kelp shreds are cleaned and cut short, the sharp pepper is shredded, the red pepper is cut into sections, the coriander is cut into sections, the ginger is minced, and the garlic is minced. After the cilantro is cut into sections, it can be soaked in water for a while, which will keep the cilantro fresh. Pour an appropriate amount of water into the pot, after the water is boiling, pour in 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, and then put the kombu shreds in the pot and blanch for about one minute. Blanch the shredded chili peppers in a pot for about 30 seconds, then remove the shredded kelp and chili peppers from the pot and set aside. Then add 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1/2 tablespoon of chicken essence and 2 tablespoons of light soy sauce to the kelp shreds and mix well. Then put the minced garlic and ginger into a basin, continue to pour an appropriate amount of oil into the pot, and add the red pepper to stir-fry after the oil is hot. Then pour the chili pepper and oil over the minced garlic and ginger. Finally, put the coriander into the kelp shreds, then pour in 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar and a little sesame oil and mix well, and this big dish is ready.

The second one is even more delicious. It is said that the Korean people can only eat a dish on their birthday, and that is "kelp soup".

The combination of tofu and kelp is a perfect match, and North Koreans believe that they are the "miracle medicine" of immortality. Both kelp and tofu have the ability to prevent the body from absorbing nicotine and help the body flush out toxins. People who smoke regularly can drink a bowl of kelp tofu soup often, although they will not quit smoking, but they can make the body less harmful through simple food. In addition to being rich in protein, lecithin, linoleic acid, vitamin B1, vitamin E, calcium, iron, tofu also contains a variety of substances called "saponins", which will prevent the production of lipid peroxide, inhibit fat absorption, and promote fat decomposition; Make weight loss twice as effective with half the effort.

First of all, it is the selection of ingredients, which requires 1 piece of tofu, 1 bell pepper, 50 grams of kelp, 10 grams of light soy sauce, 2 slices of ginger, 2 green onions, and an appropriate amount of meat broth, cooking wine, and sugar. The production method is also very simple: first, cut the tofu into small pieces; Wash and slice the bell peppers; Wash the ginger and cut into shreds; Wash and mince the green onions; Wash the kelp and cut into strips. Put 12 cups of light soy sauce and cold water in a bowl and mix evenly, strain and set aside. Then pour 3 cups of meat broth into the pot and boil, add tofu, bell pepper and kelp, add 1 tablespoon of cooking wine and shredded ginger to boil, then add the seasoning prepared in the second step and boil, turn off the heat and mix well, and finally put in 1 teaspoon of sugar, then boil, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and then put it into a large soup bowl and serve it on the table.

Wei Qing once said: Don't drink tea immediately after eating kelp, and don't eat sour fruits immediately. Because kelp is rich in iron, both of these foods can hinder the absorption of iron in the body. There are also patients with hyperthyroidism who should not eat kelp, because kelp is rich in iodine, which will aggravate the condition; Pregnant women and nursing mothers should not eat too much kelp. This is because the iodine in kelp can enter the fetus and infant with blood circulation, causing thyroid dysfunction.

Wei Qing has the potential to be a good grandmother, and every time he makes soup, he will choose the best tender tofu, which has a smoother and tender taste; The kelp must also be cleaned, otherwise she is afraid that the fine salt and sand will affect the taste; Then it is necessary to add more chicken essence to make the soup more delicious.

"How is it, Xiao Wulie, is grandma's cooking delicious?" Every time Wei Qing finished cooking, he would ask Xiao Wulie who was eating.

At that time, although Xiao Wulie was only three years old, he could already speak some simple words.

"It's delicious, it's really delicious!" Xiao Wulie said in a muttered voice.

"It's delicious, if it's delicious, I'll make it for you every day in the future, okay?" Actually, at that time, I really had to eat kelp every day, and I ate endlessly. If other people's children are so simple every day, they will have trouble with their parents. But the Duanmu family won't, because Xiao Wulie has a good grandmother.

Isn't that what people are? No matter how severe the suffering is. As long as you are accompanied by your family. That's not a big deal. Men, you can live badly, but you must let yourself live clearly! Know who you are? Where did they come from, and where are they going? There is reincarnation in the way of heaven, and who can tell the right and wrong in it. In the life of suffering, we must learn to enjoy: enjoy the joy of work, enjoy the laughter with friends, enjoy the warmth of family, enjoy the pleasure of creation, and enjoy the sweetness of fruits. There is no eternity in life, and the coming days are not long, so we must live the present and cherish the things in front of us.

As the eldest father in the family, Duanmu Fengtian also had an idea, which may not be practical for him, of course, he also knew that he had to leave the opportunity to those young people, those who deserved this status.

And Duanmu Chengxiong, the head of the new Duanmu family, also has an idea, this idea is extremely challenging for Chengxiong, after all, he is a person who grew up in the eighties, and his entrepreneurial sense is very strong.

And Xiao Wulie didn't have any ideas. In his young mind, the future is growth, a constant fantasy of the future world, a childhood under the mangrove trees in the huge mountain, and a desire to grow up as soon as possible.

Life is full of changes, ups and downs, and many stories continue to kick off wonderful preludes.
