Remember: Novel 20丨6 Website: Хīaoshυo2o丨оΜ so as not to lose it
Early the next morning, Lu Yu went to the town with a basket of water chestnuts. The burden basket was brought back from the side of Pyeongtaek Lake, so Lu Yu had to return it.
Ah Li didn't come out because of his inconvenience, Lu Ming looked at a basket of water chestnuts and asked his brother, where did this come from.
Lu Yu said that Tianhai helped Qin Zhongquan send it, and they had a lot of them there. Because he knew that Lu Ming, like himself, had never eaten water chestnut before, Lu Yu told him: "Water chestnut can be eaten raw, and it is good when cooked." ”
Zhang Qiye was more knowledgeable, he said: "If you can eat cooked food, you can also use it to make soup with meat." ”
Zhang Qiye mentioned meat, and Lu Yu asked: "You don't have meat at home, I'll get some in the next two days." ”
"There's still meat, brother, if you can get it, help us get a few fish." Lu Ming said: "Ah Li is about to give birth, I want to boil her some fish soup to drink." ”
Lu Yu nodded and said, "That's okay." Hehe, I also have two chickens at home, and the wild eggs picked up from the mountains have hatched chicks, and now one of them weighs half a catty. ”
"That's pretty good, when your chickens grow up and can lay eggs, give us a few."
"Okay, you also want to hatch chicks and raise them yourself, right? After that, we hatched chicks and sent a few of them. Lu Yu thought it was a coincidence, the two little pheasants in the family happened to be a male and a female. Maybe these two will be able to reproduce in the future.
Lu Yu carried an empty burden to Pingze Lake, at this time Qin Zhongquan and they were having breakfast, looking at their appearance, they should have gone to the field first in the morning to cut their breath.
We had breakfast together and went to the fields together.
……
When he went home in the evening, Lu Yu first went to Anding Valley to catch a fish, sent it to Lu Ming, and went home with another fish.
When I got home, the meal was already ready, and I was waiting to eat it. It turned out that Mrs. Yan knew that Lu Yu had been helping outside for the past two days and couldn't cook, so she came over to cook Yan Xi'an and the three of them to eat.
Yan Jibai was also there, and he asked Lu Yu: "Are you busy over there at Pingze Lake?" ”
Lu Yu said: "It's very busy, they have few people, a lot of fields, and they are busy cutting rice these days." ”
Yan Yubai nodded and did not comment further.
For several days, Lu Yu went out early and returned late every day, and was busy until all the rice in Pingze Lake was cut, and then he didn't go again. After the rice is cut, it has to be dried for several days before it can be bundled and piled up, and then it can be threshed and harvested.
In the rest of the matter, Lu Yu didn't need to help anymore, he went home to rest for a day, and then called Lao Gao and they went up the mountain to hunt together. This hunting is completely for Ah Li's sake, and if she doesn't hunt, she can only eat vegetarian.
It's a bit hot, so you have to go out early to hunt while the sun isn't so hot. Summer is also a good season for sleeping, and the three of Yan Xi'an and the three of them are not as interested in hunting as before, so this morning, only Lu Yu, Lao Gao, and Lu Di went up the mountain together.
Before the disaster year, when Lu Yu had just practiced, he had the most hunting harvest at that time, and Lu Yu missed it very much. The harvest is more, not that there are more prey hunting in the mountains at that time, but that the prey can be sold for money at that time and can be exchanged for a lot of things. It's different now, and now the meat is more precious, but it can't be sold.
After entering the mountain, the three of them chatted while walking, and Lu Yu said to Lao Gao and the two of them that his younger brother Lu Ming was about to have a second child.
Lu Ming is going to have a second child, and Lao Gao inevitably wants to joke Lu Yu: "Da Yu, when will it be done, brother, I still want to drink the wedding wine of the two of you quickly." ”
Lu Yu said: "Come on, next year or the year after, you should get married." Thinking of getting married in the future, Lu Yu was very looking forward to it and very nervous.
Lu Di said: "Lao Gao, don't worry about Da Yu, he himself is not in a hurry, and the girl of the Yan family is not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?" He asked Lu Yu again: "Xiao Ming gave birth to a second child, will he be treated?" ”
"I don't know, I guess not." When Lu Ming had his daughter, he didn't invite guests to drink, and it is estimated that the second child will not do it when he is born.
After a while, Lao Gao said: "Alas, this year is good, my sister and their family, I'm afraid they won't come to my house." ”
"Wouldn't it be nice not to come? It's not good to come. ”
Lao Gao said: "If you say so, if you don't come, it means that her family is not short of food or drink." Now that I can buy a little food in the city, I don't have to give it to them. After a pause, he said: "You say, in the past, my sister's family was raised by me, and life was difficult, but it was also quite lively. ”
"yes." Lu Di smiled and said, "I don't have any relatives in my family, and no one comes to my house at any time, so it's good for our family of three." ”
Lao Gao asked Lu Yu again: "Da Yu, Mr. Yan, they won't go back recently, right?" ”
"No, he said that the children haven't learned a book yet, so they can't give up halfway." Lu Yu knew that this was what Yan Jibai meant, but he didn't know what those children were learning now.
Lao Gao was relieved, nodded and said, "That's okay, although my family's small wealth is not obedient, but he still likes to go to the school." ”
Lu Di said: "It's good to go if you like, but my daughter doesn't want to go." ”
"Lu Di, you too, your daughter can't speak clearly, what kind of books are you reading? Even if she wants to read, she will have to wait until she is a few years older. ”
"Hehe, there's no harm, read it." Lu Di said: "Mr. Yan will never stay in our village chief, sooner or later he will have to go back to the city, and I don't know how long the children can study with him." ”
Lu Yu nodded and said, "This is also, Uncle Yan, although they have lived in the village for a long time, they are still from the city after all, and they are a little different from us." Lu Yu really felt that Yan Jibai was different from himself, but he couldn't say what was different.
Lao Gao smiled and said, "Da Yu, will you also go to the city in the future, will you be a city person?" ”
"I don't go, I still like to be a 'redneck'."
"Me too, it's good to farm."
"I think so too."
On this morning, the three of them not only hunted a wild boar, but also luckily got a goat. It's really lucky, there are sheep in Yangshan, but only in a place far away from Yangshan Village did Lu Yu find it before.
Lu Yu had a heart and wanted to find a few more pheasant nests so that he could pick up some eggs and go back. But after thinking about it, I felt that the "pickpocket" was a little too hurtful, so I decided to forget it. The two chickens in the family are fighting for some luck, maybe there will be a flock of chickens at home in the future.
At noon, the three of them went back, at Lao Gao's house, divided the prey, and Lu Yu went home for dinner.
Although Yan Xiding is delicious and not very diligent, he is quite conscious today, and he went out to herd sheep in the morning. When Lu Yu came back, three "young people" were cooking in the kitchen.
Lu Yu entered the kitchen, which was full of smoke and bursts of aroma and scorching, and he didn't know what Yan Xi'an and the three of them were eating.
Seeing Lu Yu come in, Yan Xi'an said happily: "Uncle, we have cooked rice and are frying fish." ”
"Cook the rice." Lu Yu walked to the stove, the fish he got back yesterday had not been eaten, and was now being fried in the pot. This fish is very pitiful, unrecognizable, and it is also charred black, there is little oil in the pot, and the grass carp is lying on the bottom of the hot pot, and it is snorting black smoke.
"Brother Da Yu, come on, this fish is not easy to fry." Yan Xi must have made a mistake and decided to give up frying this unlucky grass carp.
Lu Yu took the spatula and poked it at the fish. The fish is actually already fried, but there is too little oil in the pan, the fire is big, and both sides of the fish are fried and blackened.
After adding some water to the pot and closing the lid, Lu Yu took out the stove again—the stove was full of unburned firewood.
Lu Yu looked at the three people with gray faces, smiled and asked them to wash their faces and cook by themselves.
A wild goat divided more than a dozen catties of meat from Lu Yu. Most of these muttons were to be given to Lu Ming, and the rest could be eaten by himself. Lu Yu planned to fry a mutton or something at noon.
The pork is a little fat, and the weather is not very suitable for eating, so Lu Yu decided to cook a green vegetable pork liver soup and ate it over the fire.
The fish can no longer be fried and eaten, Lu Yu added water and kept boiling, and after the water boiled, sprinkled with salt and green onions, it was cooked.
Originally, I wanted to fry mutton, but after thinking about it, Lu Yu didn't know what was better to fry with it, and finally he had an idea, thinking that the water chestnut could be eaten when cooked, and it was estimated that it would be okay to stew mutton.
So Lu Yu asked Yan Xi'an to peel the water chestnut, peel it and put it in the basket, and cook the meat for a while.
Lu Yu also peeled it himself, it was much faster to peel it with one more person, and he could also watch Yan Xi'er fixed-point, this kid ate while peeling, and even ate Yan Xi'an and Lan Shaofang's peeling.
The water chestnut is not big, so there is no need to cut it, and after washing it, it is put in a basket to dry.
Roasting lamb is similar to roasting pork ribs and returning to the pot meat. Lu Yu first poured a bowl of water into the pot, after boiling, poured the mutton cut into pieces, boiled for a short while, scooped it up, and put it aside to drain the water.
Then there is the fried mutton, the lamb that has been scalded, and it is easier to cook when it is fried. Minced green onion and ginger must be there, and a lot of vegetable oil has been poured, and the mutton has been stir-fried a few times, and then poured water into it to simmer, and at this time the water chestnut should also be poured in, otherwise it will not be cooked.
When the soup in the pot is almost dry, the aroma of mutton and water chestnut wafts out, floats out of the kitchen, and floats far away.
There was mutton at noon, and of course I had to call the Yan Jibai couple back for dinner.
Yan Jibai's side of the meal was also ready, but it was Lu Yu who called it himself, and the couple still came over. Yan Jibai had never eaten boiled mutton with water chestnut, so he thought it was fresh, so he tasted it first.
It is said that the mutton is very delicious, and the water chestnut is cooked, and the taste is also good. Lu Yu took a bite of mutton, the taste was really good, very tender and fresh, needless to say, what was even better was that there was a faint sweetness in the mutton. He picked up another water chestnut that had been boiled golden brown and put it in his mouth.
The water chestnut is also delicious, the powder is sweet, and there is a meaty aroma, and the juice that comes out of the bite is also fragrant and sweet.
For this water chestnut roast mutton, several people are happy to eat it and are full of praise.
Mrs. Yan said: "This dish is very rare, if it is sold in the city restaurant, the price will definitely not be cheap." ”
"I didn't expect that the water chestnut is quite delicious when cooked, much better than sweet potatoes."
Yan Xiding disagreed: "No, sweet potatoes are the best." ”
