Chapter 97: Steamed rice in a bamboo tube
Since Xiaohu followed Lian Qingshan and the two to practice horse steps, Cui'er found that Xiaohu, a little doll, was even more difficult than adults, and practiced all day. Even Qingshan had lived in the military camp for many years before, advocating that he practiced three times in winter and three times in summer, regardless of whether the weather was hot or not, he would teach when he opened the posture, Xiaohu didn't scream when he was tired, and insisted on gritting his teeth with a small face.
Even Qingshan's carelessness as a father, Cui'er's motherhood was reluctant, looking at Xiaohu's insistence, Cui'er couldn't say that she wouldn't let them practice, so she used the hot summer as an excuse to let them practice in the morning and evening when the weather was slightly cooler.
Later, Cui'er was afraid that Xiaohu would get up too early and delay his growth, so she set the time after dinner and before the sun went down, and asked Xiaohu to follow Lian Qingshan to practice horse walking in the yard.
At this time, Cui'er took the big girl to sit aside, or embroidered, or chatted and did housework, while Xiaohu followed Lian Qingshan to stand under the tree, squatting and practicing boxing. A family of four is all in one place, all have their own things to be busy, and several people do not disturb each other but have a faint warmth in it.
During the day, it is a time for children to play and rest, and adults to get busy.
Cui'er put the leftovers of breakfast into the cupboard cabinet, and then cleaned up the kitchen stove, the floor and the firewood pile, and breathed a sigh of relief. Cui'er reached out and wiped the sweat from her forehead, pulled the clothes that had been glued to her body slightly, scooped up half a bucket of cold water, and walked towards the old courtyard.
It's a very hot day, Cui'er wants to add some water to the chickens and pigs to drink, animals are the same as people, if there is a lack of water, they will also suffer from heat stroke.
When Cui'er walked into the yard, she saw Lian Qingshan holding a saw hammer in his hand and tinkering with something, and when he walked in to look, he saw a bunch of wooden planks and bamboo tubes and the like, which made Cui'er's heart move. Is this making a waterwheel? "Aoyama, what are you doing?"
"Guess what~" Lian Qingshan raised his head, stretched out his hand to wipe his sweat, and smiled at Cui'er. "Didn't you say a few days ago that you wanted to get a waterwheel, I had seen this thing outside the mountain before, but I hadn't done it before, no, just ponder it." Lian Qingshan pointed to a pile of wood on the ground and said.
"You also do carpentry work?" Cui'er was amazed, even Qingshan can use wicker to weave things and hunt, she already thinks that she will know a lot, and then look at the way he teaches Xiaohu to squat and practice boxing, she thinks he is versatile, but I didn't expect it. Even Qingshan, he can even do carpenter work!
"This ...... It turned out to be fresh bamboo? Where did you get it? Cui'er reached out and picked up a piece of bamboo tube, this bamboo tube was very fresh, the emerald green skin and the feeling of wetness inside, let Cui'er know that this bamboo tube should be newly broken.
I heard that in this mountain, there will be heavy snow in winter. Cui'er couldn't figure out how to grow bamboo. However, Cui'er liked the emerald green bamboo very much, rubbed it in her hand, smelled the faint fragrance, and the smile on her face deepened.
"Hehe, I'm also watching over there in the tea mountain, there is a forest behind the tea mountain. There is such a small bamboo forest in the depths of the forest, and I saw that the thickness of the bamboo was okay, so I got some back. Lian Qingshan smiled, looking at Cui'er who liked the bamboo tube very much, and felt that she had done a good thing, and she was not proud.
"En. That's nice! Cui'er nodded with a smile, looking at the disc-shaped waterwheel frame that had been half-made under Lian Qingshan's hand, and curiously compared this waterwheel with what she remembered.
"Cui'er, it's hot. If you're all right, move a small bench and sit under the tree for a while, I'll be fine for a while. Lian Qingshan looked at Cui'er squatting next to him, and his heart was happy, and when he saw that there were some beads of sweat on the tip of Cui'er's nose, he felt distressed again.
"Come along, let's all go down under the tree." Cui'er looked back at the big toon tree in the yard, and said with a smile, when she lived in the old yard, she thought about doing things under this toon tree, but she didn't expect it to come true.
happily helped Lian Qingshan move all the things used to make the waterwheel under the tree, Cui'er sat on the small bench, watching Lian Qingshan's thick hands holding wooden blocks and knocking on them, and then there was another part on the waterwheel.
"Aoyama, you're amazing!" Cui'er held her cheeks with both hands, starry eyes looking at her handsome and powerful husband, and she was in a very good mood.
"Silly girl!" Lian Qingshan saw Cui'er's inadvertent appearance of her little daughter's delicateness, her heart was very comfortable, and the movements in her hands became more powerful, thinking that she should do a good job of this waterwheel as soon as possible, so as to please Cui'er.
Cui'er looked at Lian Qingshan for a long time, feeling that she had found a job for Lian Qingshan, it was not good to do nothing, looking down at the emerald green bamboo tube, her mind gradually drifted away.
There is a spring at the back of my house, and if the middle of this bamboo is connected, and the water is brought in by a water wheel, it will make some beautiful scenery, wouldn't it be beautiful?
If you need bamboo, you have to have a large verdant bamboo forest, and then there will be emerald green bamboo tubes, crisp bamboo shoots and many delicious ones, bamboo tubes and green lotus leaves, in the Chinese broad and profound cuisine, as a food container have a place, the emerald green bamboo tube is cut, as a container for food, the fragrance of the bamboo tube and the glycol of the food are perfectly mixed together...... Stop!
Cui'er woke up from her imagination suddenly, how did she think about it, and she thought of eating? Looking at the bamboo tube in her hand that she doesn't know when she has been made into a bamboo tube rice, Cui'er wants to cry without tears, what kind of trouble is this, she has been too bored recently?
"Cui'er, what are you doing here?" Lian Qingshan looked at the bamboo tube in Cui'er's hand, and then looked at the bamboo tube he had made on the ground, and asked very puzzled.
"It's okay...... Cui'er's pretty face flushed, "I'm thinking that this bamboo tube can be used to make delicious food, so I'll try to make two bamboo tubes, and I'll try it when we make lunch later." Speaking of this, Cui'er felt that her face was burning, and she hurriedly ran away with the bamboo tube she was holding in her hand just now.
"Hehe......" Lian Qingshan looked at Cui'er's back, and laughed lowly, Cui'er's appearance is really cute and tight, compared to when she was holding on for the livelihood of her family before, Cui'er, who was a little confused and distracted from time to time, made Lian Qingshan's heart even softer.
Lian Qingshan smiled and recalled the appearance of the bamboo tube in Cui'er's hand. Thinking that if he was to make something delicious, it was estimated that one bamboo tube would not be enough, so he put down the things in his hand and quickly made the few unprocessed bamboo tubes on the ground into the shape that Cui'er wanted. After carefully trimming it with a file to make it smooth and smooth, he quietly sent the bamboo tube into the kitchen, and then turned back to the yard to continue making the waterwheel.
Cui'er shook her dizzy head, squatting in front of the stove to wash rice, since she moved to a new home, I don't know if it's because life is going well, my brain is always confused, just like just now, I was just thinking about the waterwheel, why did I run to the bamboo tube rice?
looked at the bamboo tubes on the stove. Cui'er sucked her saliva, resigned herself to washing the bamboo tubes one by one, and prepared the bamboo tube rice.
The bacon with three layers of flowers, the verdant and refreshing cucumbers, the bright and luscious carrots, and the soft and delicious kidney beans are mixed evenly with the rice with white flowers. Put it all into the turquoise bamboo tube. Cui'er couldn't remember whether the bamboo tube rice she ate in modern times was steamed or baked, and when she saw the green bamboo tube, she was reluctant to burn it out, and finally decided to use steamed.
The big iron pot boiled a small half pot of boiling water, and the bamboo tubes were stacked on the steaming curtain one by one, and after a while, a fragrance wafted out of the pot. The mellow bacon, the fragrance of the bamboo tube, and the sweet and glutinous taste of the rice...... This fragrance made Cui'er couldn't help but take a deep breath, and also attracted the big girl and the little tiger who were playing happily outside.
"Mother, what did you cook again? It smells so good! The big girl's eyes were shining, and her little face was round and red, without the timid gray appearance when Cui'er first saw her.
"Delicious!" Xiaohu followed behind the big girl. Waving his chubby little hands, he cheered.
"Yes, it's delicious!" Cui'er looked at the innocent and cute appearance of the big girl and the little tiger, and kissed each of them on the little faces, "Daddy is very hard to make a waterwheel, and my mother has to make a delicious meal to treat him." Today's cooking is bamboo rice! ”
As she spoke, Cui'er turned around and cut the green onions and cucumbers picked in the field into strips, and put them on the plate to be eaten as a side dish dipping sauce later, remembering that she had just used the word reward, Cui'er continued, "Do you know what reward means? Reward, it's ......" Cui'er was chopping vegetables, and explained the knowledge to the two children, and the time passed unconsciously.
Before it was time to eat lunch, the big girl and Xiaohu who were attracted by the bamboo rice couldn't wait to start, and Lian Qingshan, who smelled the fragrance and entered the house, also looked greedy. Cui'er was reluctant to wait for time when everyone in the family was hungry, and seeing that the bamboo tube rice was ready, she simply started the meal early.
The moment the lid was lifted, the thick white steam came to her face with a strange aroma, and after the steam dissipated, the emerald green bamboo tube came into Cui'er's eyes.
"Wow, that's beautiful!" Standing on the side and watching the lively big girl and little tiger couldn't help but admire, and couldn't wait to taste this legendary bamboo tube rice.
Finally waited for the bamboo tube rice to be served, and the two children, even Cui'er and Lian Qingshan, couldn't bear their excitement and put the bamboo tube into their bowls.
Lift the lid of the green bamboo tube, with a slight golden yellow rice into view, the aroma that comes to the face is refreshing, the fat that flows out of the bacon after steaming, with a mellow and attractive aroma, has become extremely soft and glutinous carrots and kidney bean grains, with green cucumbers, so that the whole bamboo tube rice looks so attractive.
Regardless of the hot mouth, she scooped a spoonful of rice into her mouth fiercely, the soft and glutinous sweet taste was matched with the unique aroma, Cui'er only felt that this bamboo tube rice was a hundred times more delicious than what she had eaten before, and she couldn't help but smile happily on her face.
"Mother, it's delicious!" After the big girl and the little tiger were half-full, they raised their heads and said with their oily little mouths, that innocent and greedy appearance made Cui'er can't help laughing, and the whole room is filled with strong warmth.
