Wood and Stone Chapter 13 Soup

Mu Qi prepares the soup in the kitchen.

It's also quite difficult to make soup, and what she is going to make today is lion's mane mushroom bone broth.

This monkey has to be soaked in rice water first. Mu Qi took out the washed rice, put the rice washing water in the pot, turned on the fire and boiled the rice washing water.

On the way to wash the rice, Mu Qi put the rice he had just washed into the rice cooker and pressed it.

At this time, the rice washing water is also about hot, heating to about 40 degrees, and the lion's mane mushroom is processed and soaked in warm rice washing water. Take a small dish and cover it to prevent heat from escaping, and soak all the lion's mane mushrooms in the rice washing water to keep the temperature warm.

Mu Qi looked at his watch, and this lion's mane mushroom had to be soaked for about two hours. She can prepare the rest first.

Rinse the fresh pork bones you bought with water, and clean the red dates, longan meat, wolfberries, and lilies.

Then sit aside and wait for the lion's mane mushrooms to soak.

It is estimated that the lion's mane mushroom is almost soaked, and the rice washing water has turned yellow when I pick up the saucer, pick it up and pinch it soft, and I can quickly pinch it flat with my hand. Knead the softened lion's mane mushroom repeatedly to pinch out the yellow water, then change the water and wash it several times to wash the yellow water and pinch the water out.

Place the dried monkey head on the board and cut off the black pedicle. Put water in the casserole, put the pork bones into the casserole, then pour in all the lion's mane mushrooms and the ingredients just prepared, boil on high heat, skim out the foam with a spoon, turn on the low heat and simmer slowly.

Waiting for the soup to stew, Mu Qi washed his hands and walked out to sit on the sofa, squinting for a while, how did he fall asleep.

Tang Lei slept in the room, there was still a trace of pain in his stomach, Tang Lei frowned and opened his eyes.

I smelled the smell and sniffed, and thought to myself, "It smells so good." Smelling the fragrance, Tang Lei got out of bed and went out of the room, passing by the living room and going to the kitchen.

The casserole is wafting with aromas.

"Oops, my soup." Mu Qi suddenly woke up.

Seeing the time, he hurriedly ran to the kitchen, Tang Lei heard Mu Qi running back and forth, and retreated, so Mu Qi didn't see Tang Lei when he ran in.

"My soup, my soup."

Mu Qi took the lid down with his hand, touched the lid of the pot, "Ahh

"Are you alright?"

"Ahh

The lid of the pot fell to the ground with a "bang", and the two were so frightened that they jumped back.

Mu Qi hurriedly squatted down and picked up the lid of the pot and put it on the table.

Tang Lei took a step forward and asked, "Are your hands okay?" ”

Mu Qi shook his head: "It's okay." ”

Mu Qi turned around to look at the soup and turned to ask Tang Lei: "I only made soup, what else do you want to eat." ”

"Soup is enough."

"Hmm." Mu Qi nodded, turned around and brought the soup up.

"I'll do it." Tang Lei stepped forward and picked up the soup and walked to the table.

The corners of Mu Qi's mouth raised slightly, and he took out a bowl and scooped out the rice, which had been stuffy for a long time.

Mu Qi took the two bowls out and put them on the dining table, and Tang Lei was still standing.

"You can do it, I'll go get the dishes and chopsticks."

Tang Lei watched Mu Qi sitting on the chair, Mu Qi turned around the kitchen, took the dishes and chopsticks, came out to serve the soup, pushed the bowl over and gave Tang Lei another bowl for himself.

"Eat." Mu Qi smiled at Tang Lei and buried himself in eating.

Tang Lei looked at the scene in front of him, and suddenly felt the warmth of home, he has been at home mostly alone all these years, how long has he not felt this way.

Seeing that Mu Qi was eating just right, he also ate, scooping a spoonful of soup is delicious, this girl should have suffered a lot.

After the two finished eating, Mu Qi took the bowl and prepared to take it to wash the dishes.

Tang Lei said: "I'll come." ”

Mu Qi raised his head and asked, "Will you?" Tang Lei looked at Mu Qi not strictly.

The corners of Mu Qi's mouth raised slightly, and he went to the kitchen with his things to wash the pots and dishes and put them away.

Pouring water from the kettle and waiting for the water to cool down, Mu Qi took out the water, took out the medicine, put it on the lid of the medicine bottle, and gave it to Tang Lei.

Tang Lei glanced at Mu Qi, took the water and medicine and swallowed it in one gulp. Mu Qi pursed his lower lip and looked at Tang Lei, after taking the medicine, he took the cup and the cap of the medicine bottle and put the cap on it.

After covering it, he walked over and looked at Tang Lei: "What do you want to eat tomorrow?" I can do it. ”

"No need, let's call my aunt to do it tomorrow."

"Hmm... Good. Mu Qi pursed his lips and nodded.

After Mu Qi finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the room.

"Mu Qi."

"Ahh Mu Qi heard Tang Lei tell him to stop, and turned to look at Tang Lei.

"You don't have to blame yourself, I didn't know about it, you don't have to make yourself so tired. You remember that you didn't come to be a babysitter. ”

"I know." Mu Qi replied, turned around and went back to the room.

Tang Lei watched Mu Qi walk back to the room, also got up and pushed the chair in, sat on the sofa and picked up a business magazine to read.

Children like them are indispensable, and he has to pay attention to them slowly.

Tang Lei has been watching, although he doesn't understand very well now, but it always doesn't hurt to be able to read some of them.

After watching it for a long time, Tang Lei turned his neck, and his neck was almost stiff with one movement.

Looking up at the watch on the wall, it was already past nine o'clock, Tang Lei went to the bathroom to take a shower and went back to the room to lie down.

Mu Qi also sat in the bedroom all the time and didn't do anything, she heard the sound of Tang Lei taking a bath and glanced at it, it was already so late, she also went to take a shower, pulled out the quilt and lay on the bed.

She has long been accustomed to going to bed early, as if only in the dark night she will not feel so lonely, she always wants everything to be so beautiful for the good of others, although she is unfortunate but believes that the world is very beautiful, she is willing to treat everyone with sincerity.

It can be said that she is naΓ―ve, or she is simple, she always thinks a lot, and her life over the years has made her neither want many people to be together, but also afraid that one person is always contradictory.

But now it's about different, she has such a 'family', let her integrate well with them, let them become a "family".

The night is getting deeper, the moon is hanging in the air, and the lights of each house are slowly turned off, and I can only see that the street lights are still on, and the sleepless insects are screaming with each other, and there are about some people arguing. People rolled over and continued to fall asleep, some frowned, some were still lying on the bed, unable to sleep, listening to the cries of insects, and unable to fall asleep with irritability. But none of this detracts from the joy of the bugs.

They were singing one by one, and moths and mosquitoes were dancing together under the street lamps. The noisy day of the city can only show its quiet beauty at night.

Mu Qi and Tang Lei have already fallen asleep, it seems to be a little hot when they fall asleep, Tang Lei has ripped off the quilt and exposed his chest, although he looks very thin on weekdays, he takes off his clothes, but he has a good figure, and he has abdominal muscles at a young age, and it is not difficult to see that he is a boy who always exercises.

At seven o'clock on the second day, when the first ray of sunlight shone into the window, Tang Lei woke up, got up and went to the wardrobe to get clothes to wear, and after washing his face, he looked at his face in the mirror, and there was some fine fluff on his chin, which was a sign that he was about to grow up.

After Tang Lei cleaned up, he opened the door of the room and went out, saw that there was no Mu Qi in the living room and kitchen, walked to the door of Mu Qi's room and knocked lightly, but there was no sound.

Tang Lei thought, "This girl must have been tired yesterday, she slept on the side of the bed for half a night the night before, and was busy making soup yesterday, so that she could sleep more." ”

Tang Lei turned on the phone, found his aunt's phone and dialed the phone.

"Auntie, come cook today."

……

"Okay." Tang Lei turned off the phone after making the call.

Sit down on the couch and continue reading the magazine.

Not long after, there was a knock at the door, Tang Lei put down the magazine and stood up to open the door.

Auntie came with something.

"Auntie, the kitchen is over there."

"Well, okay, I'll go now."

"Auntie, the voice is quieter, Mu Qi is still asleep."

"yes, okay." The aunt smiled and nodded, and went to the kitchen with the dishes.

Auntie went to cook, and Tang Lei continued to sit on the sofa and look at things.

After more than an hour, the aunt brought out the dishes one by one, and said with a smile: "Young master, the meal is ready." ”

Tang Lei raised his head, put the book in his hand and put it in the corner of the coffee table and stood up.

looked at Mu Qi's room and knocked on the door: "Get up." ”

"Hmm~" Tang Lei snorted and shouted when he heard a cry inside: "Get up." ”

Mu Qi woke up and saw that the brain clock next to the bed was more than nine o'clock, so he quickly got up, put on his shoes, laid out the quilt, went to get his clothes, put them on, washed up and left the room.
