Chapter 197: What a big prayer lamp
As soon as she said this, Chen Xiuli's eyes flashed with a touch of coldness, Hua Manxi was in the service industry in his previous life, and he has always been good at and accustomed to observing words and feelings, and he is keenly aware of it.
She hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded him: "Qin Gongzi, you are a dignified seven-foot man, how can you have a lot of trouble with a little girl, don't talk about it, let's clean up the little wild boar you got back first, get rid of what you eat tonight, let's get some more jerky, if the two Song Gongzi go out tomorrow, you can take them with you to eat, so as not to starve." ”
"It's still Chef Hua who has a pattern and thinks thoughtfully. I'm coming. Qin Baiting actually has a good temperament, and sure enough, he was distracted by Hua Manxi, and he was too lazy to take care of Chen Xiuya, so he dragged out the little wild boar and put it by the stream, and everyone began to help.
Make a fire, boil water, remove hair, burn skin, wash, cut meat, cut into strips.
Chen Xiuli and Song Yan helped to get the sea water to dry the salt, and Hua Manxi put the pork knuckles cut into strips and some pork belly into the salt and marinated them vigorously, so that the dried meat could fully absorb the salt flavor, put them under the branches and hang them to dry, and after about the same time, they burned a charcoal fire and slowly roasted the water.
Most of this jerky is done, and there are still some carefully picked pork chops and tenderloin left.
These pork chops are chopped into small pieces, and Hua Manxi intends to use them to stew pork ribs and tomato soup.
Blanch the pork ribs, then bring the water to a boil, re-add the ribs and simmer until the soup is rich, then add the peeled tomatoes and cook for a while.
As for the tenderloin, it is used to fry pork chops.
Since the discovery of tomatoes, Hua Manxi has let Danyun wander around again, and sure enough, he also found a pepper tree, with pepper, fried pork chops are much more delicious.
Hua Manxi cut the tenderloin into large pieces of about the same size, and then beat some of the meat with clean pebbles to make the texture of the meat soft, she asked Danyun to pick some pepper, crush it with stones, mix it with salt, and marinate the beaten tenderloin for half an hour.
Fried pork chops, with a slate, specially selected a big slate, after the fire, burn the red slate, Hua Manxi wanted to put some fat meat to fry, the fat wild boar meat put on the slate, soon out of the oil.
With oil, Hua Manxi put the pork chops on it, fried it slowly, one side was fried until it changed color, and then the other side was fried, the fried pork chops were shiny and shiny, the meat was fresh and tender, and then a wild egg was fried together, plus the pork chops and tomato soup, it was simply a delicious Western meal.
"The conditions are simple, everyone will have some, in fact, to eat pork chops, with vegetable salad, silver knives and forks, delicate porcelain plates, it is best to have a little wine, light candles, three or five confidants, or a couple to drink, is the food." Hua Manxi said with a little regret.
"It's delicious, a little spicy, the meat on the outside is chewy, but the meat on the inside is unusually tender, the juice is full, and it's just a pleasure to bite into." Qin Baiting is now a die-hard fan of Hua Manxi, as long as Hua Manxi makes it, he praises it again and again, "Even this poached egg is better than others!" It's so delicious! ”
"Qin Baiting, you are good at opening your eyes and talking nonsense, this egg is obviously not cooked, you can really do it." Chen Xiuya punctured her share of the egg with chopsticks, and the egg yolk liquid wrapped in the thin egg whites between them was left.
"Can you eat it raw? When our army was training, we ate too much. Qin Baiting glanced at Chen Xiuya and argued, "Besides, this condition is so simple, how can everything be so perfect, you can do it, you can do it." ”
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Hua Manxi felt a headache, and hurriedly said: "Blame me, blame me for not making it clear, this egg is deliberately fried like this, in this way, use chopsticks to clip a small piece of cut pork chops, mix it with this egg yolk liquid and eat it together, it has a different taste." ”
Because there was no knife and fork, after the pork chop was fried, Hua Manxi cut it into small pieces with a dagger, and she used chopsticks to demonstrate it to everyone once, and ate a piece of pork chop meat into her mouth.
Well, the prey on this island seems to be a little better than the outside, probably because there is no human destruction.
This pork chop is tender and smooth, with a firm and delicious taste, and although only some pepper is put in it, it is no worse than the one with the seasoning!
"I see, I'll try it." Qin Baiting was the most anxious, he had already eaten half of the meat, and the poached egg also took a small bite, and after listening to this way of eating, he couldn't wait to wrap the egg with a piece of meat and put it in his mouth again.
When the people saw that he was eating very well, they couldn't help but do the same, and began to eat it.
After eating pork chops and pork rib soup, it was getting late, and everyone had no energy to play games tonight, so two people were still left to take turns on duty for the night, and everyone fell asleep around the firewood.
That night, Hua Manxi didn't sleep very well, and dreamed groggyly.
She dreamed that Xu Jinfei's head was covered with red and bright blood, she was frightened, and ran over with great effort, calling his name while running hard.
The more anxious she was, the more strenuous she became, as if she had exhausted her strength to run a small step, she stumbled over and hugged Xu Jinfei.
Suddenly, an object landed on her head and blossomed on her forehead.
When she touched it, it was also a red piece, but when she looked closely, it was a ripe tomato.
It turned out that the marks on Xu Jinfei's head were also smashed by tomatoes, and there was a false alarm, she breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to speak, but suddenly woke up.
Hua Manxi's eyes widened suddenly, just in front of a pair of deep and gentle eyes.
She blinked in a daze, and then said in a dumb voice: "Brother Chen? Why didn't you sleep? ”
Chen Xiuli looked at her with a little worry, and said in a low voice: "I'm asleep, you're having a nightmare, you've been calling Xu Gongzi, I was scared to wake up by you, is it a nightmare?" ”
Although Hua Manxi has been quite calm in the past few days, it is all due to reason, and she used reason to suppress her emotional emotions.
But being depressed doesn't mean that she doesn't have emotions, she also misses home, thinks about the comfortable big bed at home, thinks about the hot water and soap at home, misses the wonton at home, and uncle, aunt, mother, Xiao Yezi, Da Yang, Wang Shishi They -
If Xu Jinfei is here, it will be different, she believes that Xu Jinfei can take her out of the predicament, she doesn't need to tense her nerves to think about this and that.
She misses her Xu Gongzi.
"It's fine, it's just a dream." Hua Manxi forcibly squeezed out a smile and comforted Chen Xiuli, "You should rest quickly." ”
Chen Xiuli naturally didn't believe it, but he didn't poke her, just shook his head and said, "I can't sleep, why don't I go out and breathe?" ”
Hua Manxi is not sleepy now, anyway, there is a large open and clean beach outside, and there is no danger.
"Okay." She nodded, and Chen Xiuli carefully removed the wooden plank blocking the entrance of the cave, and the two bent down out of the cave, and carefully covered the wooden plank.
It was very windy outside, she subconsciously shrank a little, there was moonlight tonight, the moonlight shone on the white beach, slightly phosphorescent, and it looked a little thrilling.
In the quiet night, you can't even hear the birdsong, only the sound of the occasional rising tide crashing against the stones, which is refreshing and calming.
The two of them picked a clean big stone and sat down, Hua Manxi looked at the moonlight and the sea, and said in a low voice: "It's so beautiful here, when he comes back, I will take him here to see, and then sit here and watch the sunrise." Master Chen, you have seen the sunrise on the beach, and the sunrise on the beach should be the most beautiful sunrise in the world. ”
"I haven't seen it." Chen Xiuli said truthfully, "In my impression, I don't seem to have seen the sunrise, since my mother left, my health has been very bad, I often fall asleep, I sleep in the dark, I don't know if it's day or night, where have I seen what sunrise?" ”
His words were bitter, and there was something mocking in his tone, which was probably a sad thing.
Hua Manxi looked at the horizon and said leisurely: "Then I'll accompany you to watch the sunrise once today, such a beautiful day, when you get old in the future, it is also a beautiful thing to think about." ”
Chen Xiuli nodded, although his gaze was as restrained as possible, he still couldn't help the gentleness on her side face with a smile, and he was a little distracted.
"Xu Gongzi is auspicious, he will definitely get what he wants, and I am still waiting to drink your happy wine." Chen Xiuli saw that she was silent, and suddenly said quietly.
"Accept your words." Hua Manxi mentioned his sweetheart and curled the corners of his lips slightly, "When I first met him, he performed badly, he was just a hairless iron rooster." ”
"Xu Gongzi is a rare man in this world, honest and frank, he is very compatible with you." Chen Xiuli said sincerely.
"Haha, Brother Chen, you say this as if you've known each other for a long time." Hua Manxi felt a strange look in his heart, but it quickly flashed, and continued, "How can you say it so well, on the night of the New Year, in order to avoid my mother, he also took me to the roof to blow the cold wind, which made me cold. ”
There was a hint of complaint in her words, but the sweetness in her tone could not be concealed, and even her eyes were full of smiles.
Chen Xiuli suddenly felt a little melancholy in his heart, I don't know if a person like him, in such a life, still hopes to meet a girl, let him mention her, he can have such a smile in his eyes.
"That's right! He took me to see the prayer lamp that day! That's right, the prayer lamp! I guess we haven't been here for two days, because the weather is too good, or the sea breeze is too strong to be spotted! Light clouds have brought a lot of things down from the boat, let's see if we can make a super large prayer lamp! Fly like this, and it will be easier for them to spot us! ”
"I think it's feasible, let's look for something from the old ship first!" Chen Xiuli was also enlightened, immediately stood up, turned around and returned to the cave, called everyone up, and everyone helped turn over the materials.
