Chapter 302: Where's the Saliva?
I've learned how to cook and how to turn a boring day into a delicious dish.
If you come, I will shout to the breeze in front of the door, remove the boredom for you, and clip a few birdsong to relax your muscles and blood.
If you are in a good mood, plant a few bamboo trees on the South Mountain behind the house, sit next to each other on a moonlit autumn night, and let the wind blow us into our dreams.
Day 1
"Wife, what are we going to have for breakfast?"
"How about a bowl of handmade noodles with fresh mushrooms picked in the morning?"
"Well, yes, what about lunch?"
"Let's make it simple, let's have sushi!"
"What about dinner?"
"How about a barbecue party? Enjoying the moon, drinking wine, and eating meat, do you like it? β
"I like it!"
The next day
"Wife, what are we going to have for breakfast?"
"Red dates, barley, millet porridge with salted duck eggs!"
"Where's the lunch?"
"Keep it simple, I'll make some dumplings later, or eat a bowl of bastards!"
"Huh? What bastard? β
"Haha, I mean ravioli!"
"Dizzy, what about dinner?"
"Hot pot go!"
βperfect!β
Day 3
"Wife ......"
"Don't ask, breakfast is steamed bun hamburger, lunch is bacon steamed rice, and dinner is grilled fish and ten tonic soup of delicacies from the mountains and seas."
"We're both going to be pigs if we go on like this."
"Don't dislike it, you want pigs to be pigs together, and you want to be old together."
"That's a good answer, come on, what one!"
"What!"
β¦β¦
On this day, Zeng Qingfeng and Xiuxiu came to the front of a mountain, only to see the beautiful mountains, the deep forest foothills, the smoke is swirling, the bamboo trees and pines are evergreen, like a paradise where hermits live.
In the distance, there is a waterfall cascading down the mountainside, and the scenery is charming.
Zeng Qingfeng hurriedly woke up Xiuxiu, who was taking a nap in the afternoon: "Little lazy pig, get up and enjoy the beautiful scenery!" β
Pei Xiuxiu opened her sleepy eyes and said, "Oh, what a beautiful view?" I'll see. β
When the curtain is opened, the green is full of green and comes to the face, green mountains, green pines, green bamboo, mountain flowers all over the mountains and a waterfall hanging from Baichuan, it is really picturesque.
Pei Xiuxiu smiled and sighed: "Good view! Beauty! β
Zeng Qingfeng threw a few wild fruits to Xiuxiu and said, "Taste the wild fruits I picked." β
Pei Xiuxiu picked it up and took a bite, and her face instantly wrinkled into a little old woman and said, "It's so sour, so sour!" β
"Haha! I gave it to you because it was sour, and if it was sweet, I would have eaten it myself. Zeng Qingfeng laughed at the ground.
"Okay, you have no conscience!" Pei Xiuxiu put her hands on her waist and said angrily.
Zeng Qingfeng touched Xiuxiu's head and said, "Girl, just because I want to see your funny expression, I deliberately gave you a sour meal." β
"Looking for a fight!" Pei Xiuxiu picked up her palm and chased after Zeng Qingfeng angrily.
The two fought for a while, and Zeng Qingfeng suddenly stopped and said, "Listen, it seems that someone is shouting for help!" β
Pei Xiuxiu also listened carefully for a while, and sure enough, it seemed that someone was really shouting for help.
"Xianggong, should we go and see?"
"Good!"
Following the direction of the sound, Pei Xiuxiu and Zeng Qingfeng found a woodcutter in the nearby grass.
The woodcutter was wearing a cloth coat and a pair of straw sandals on his feet, and he lay on the grass and shouted for help.
Zeng Qingfeng stepped forward and asked, "Uncle, what's wrong with you?" β
The woodcutter pointed to his thigh, and saw a distinct bite mark on the calf, like a bite mark from a poisonous snake, the wound was bleeding, and the calf was black and purple, which looked like poisoning.
Pei Xiuxiu squatted down and examined it and said, "Uncle, you were bitten by a poisonous snake, you were poisoned." β
"Yes, there are many poisonous snakes in the mountains, and we all call it a five-step snake if you bite me, if you are accidentally bitten and walk five steps, you will die of poison, it seems that my old man will not survive today." The woodcutter said sadly.
Pei Xiuxiu chuckled and persuaded: "Uncle, it's not as serious as you said, don't worry, I have a pill for snake venom, you can take it quickly, and you will be fine." β
The woodcutter said half-incredulously, "Really? That's great, thank you, girl. β
Half an hour later, the woodcutter who took the antidote pill really stopped his legs were numb, and the snake venom was also solved, and he was able to walk and jump.
The woodcutter said gratefully: "The two of you are really my life-saving benefactors, the girl's medical skills are really Guanyin." β
"Poof!" With a sound, Pei Xiuxiu covered her mouth and smiled: "Uncle, how can it be so exaggerated as you say, but my antidote pill is really good." β
The woodcutter warmly invited: "Two benefactors, the old man's home is on the edge of the waterfall, if the two of you don't dislike it, please sit in the cold house, the old man will entertain the two of you no matter what." β
"No, no, no! It's just a matter of effort! β
"If the two benefactors don't go, they look down on the old man and dislike the old man's poor family."
Pei Xiuxiu hurriedly shook her hand and said, "No, no, we didn't mean that." β
"Then let's go together, it's the season of spring bamboo shoots, it just so happens that my son just caught a wild boar this morning, and the spring bamboo shoot stew made by my wife is the most delicious, please go and taste it together."
Pei Xiuxiu looked at Zeng Qingfeng with a little heart.
Zeng Qingfeng happily agreed: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and bother." β
"Haha, it's too late for the old man to be happy, please two benefactors!"
The three of them came to the woodcutter's house together.
There are three simple thatched huts between the lush forests and bamboos, and a few pines and cypresses are planted at the door.
The woodcutter shouted, "Come out, old woman, there is a guest in the house!" β
A woman in her fifties and sixties walked out and said, "Are you back?" Who are these two guests? β
"My life-saving benefactor, I was bitten by a five-step snake just now, if it weren't for these two benefactors, I'm afraid my old man wouldn't be able to return home today."
The old woman was amazed and delighted, and thanked her for a thousand kinds.
After a while, the woodcutter's two sons returned home with a doll-sized bamboo shoot king.
Pei Xiuxiu was stunned and went up and shouted, "Wow! Such a big bamboo shoot, oh my God, it's amazing. β
The woodcutter's eldest son said honestly: "This bamboo shoot is indeed the largest dug up this year, don't look at its size, the bamboo shoot meat is very tender, and it is the most delicious stew with fresh wild boar." β
The woodcutter happily instructed: "The eldest and the second brother hurry up to sharpen the knife and kill the pig, the old woman will prepare dinner, and I will take out the salvia wine that has been soaked for many years to entertain the two benefactors." β
"Okay, Daddy!"
In the mountains, the smoke rises, and it doesn't take long for the aroma to overflow and the smell of meat comes to the nose, and people can't help but salivate when they smell it.
A large pot of bamboo shoot stew is served and placed in the center.
The attractive meat aroma with the stewed bamboo shoots is just right, and Pei Xiuxiu's mouth is watering.
The old woman who is good at cooking has skillfully stir-fried a few side dishes, such as cold toon, stewed fried bracken, garlic tender tea, lichen eggs, artemisia dumplings and so on.
Zeng Qingfeng praised: "Grandma is a good craft! β
"Where, you can't get on the table, you can only eat casually." The woman smiled modestly.
Pei Xiuxiu smiled gratefully: "Grandma, don't be modest, I can barely be regarded as a skilled cook, but compared with Grandma's craftsmanship, it is still a little worse, so it is true to say that the masters have been in the folk since ancient times." β
The woodcutter poured the wine himself and said with a smile: "Lift, lift, the benefactor is too polite, come and come and drink the wine, and the chopsticks move." β
Pei Xiuxiu unceremoniously picked up a piece of bamboo shoot and bit it into her mouth, chewing it back and forth in her mouth.
After a few seconds, she shouted with a happy expression on her face, "Wow! It's so delicious! The fragrance of the bamboo shoots and the aroma of the meat are perfectly blended, and the bite is extremely crisp and the fresh juice is flowing, which is simply irresistible. β
"Hahaha, if the girl likes it, if she likes it, if she likes it!" The crowd was delighted.
Zeng Qingfeng also picked up a piece of pork that was not fat or thin and stuffed it into his mouth, and commented after eating: "It is really delicious, the pork is not fat or thin, not fishy or greasy, moderately salty, and chewy, it is really delicious." β
"It's good if the benefactor likes it, there is nothing to entertain in the mountains, please forgive me!" The old man smiled politely.
Pei Xiuxiu squinted her eyes and smiled: "Natural things are the best, we also grew up in the mountains since we were children, so we especially like to eat things in the mountains, especially bamboo shoots, and we have no resistance at all." I can make braised spring bamboo shoots in oil, bamboo shoot soup, braised bamboo shoot slices, bamboo shoot tomato meat, etc., in short, as long as it is bamboo shoots, I like it. β
"Miss Pei is really good at talking, she is beautiful and sweet-mouthed, whoever marries you is a blessing from several lifetimes! Zeng Gongzi is so blessed! Hahaha......"
Pei Xiuxiu looked at Zeng Qingfeng mischievously and smiled: "Did you hear that?" Messire! β
Zeng Qingfeng picked up the wine glass and laughed: "Well, I toast the lady!" β
Hahaha...... The crowd burst into laughter.
After being full of wine and food, Zeng Qingfeng and Pei Xiuxiu said goodbye to everyone under the reluctant gaze of the woodcutter's family.
After Pei Xiuxiu came down the mountain, she happily commented: "Xianggong, it's worth the trip!" β
"Well, it's worth the trip!"
The old woodcutter only found out that Pei Xiuxiu had quietly left them a bag of silver taels before leaving.
The old woodcutter's family and the two middle-aged sons could not marry a daughter-in-law because of their poor families, Zeng Qingfeng and Pei Xiuxiu were anxious in their eyes.
Saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, since everyone has been saved, why not do a good thing to the end? These silver taels are nothing to Xiuxiu, but they may be a charcoal in the snow for the woodcutter's family in need.
The grace of a meal is big and big, and small is small.
People live for a lifetime, they are born as human beings, and only those who live kindly can live in vain.
The carriage continued to run through the dense jungle.
Pei Xiuxiu and Zeng Qingfeng rode a horse together, enjoying the scenery while walking.
Pei Xiuxiu turned her face and asked, "Xianggong, where is Sanmen Sanshan Island?" Far from us? How long will it take us to get there? β
Zeng Qingfeng replied: "If you want to be fast and fast, if you want to be slow or slow, it depends on how you want to go along the way, if you can reach it in less than ten days, if you swim like today, you may not be able to reach it for a month." β
Pei Xiuxiu said in surprise: "Huh? That's not good, in case we get to Sanshan Island, Master and he goes to other places to collect herbs, it's over, let's speed up the trip and rush to Sanshan Island. β
"Okay, I'll listen to you! Drive! β
