Chapter 154: The People on the Island
The kitchen was very hollow, and a sturdy woman said that her name was Aunt Liu, who was helping to make sundries for the fire. She said that the climate of Swallow Island is hot, and it often rains heavily in the morning and evening, so it will not be like everything on the mainland is lying on the ground, and she is afraid that snakes will come in and steal eggs, so they are all packed in urns and sealed in a cool place.
Willow Branch was horrified when he heard it: "There are snakes?!" ”
Aunt Liu was very eye-catching, and hurriedly said: "There are on the island, but they are all in the forest." It's okay, who will go to the forest to wander around, snakes don't come here where there are many people, and Master Ping also asked people to plant a lot of jute grass and snakes to die around the village, not to mention snakes, mosquitoes don't fly over. ”
When the snake sees death, this name is well chosen and very secure; As for who is Master Ping? Liu Zhi looked at the supplies and asked curiously, "Is this egg transported from outside?" Or do you have your own chickens on the island? ”
Aunt Liu said proudly: "We raised it ourselves, there is a lot of land, and we don't need to take care of it, let it go out and find insects to eat, and the few people raise one or twenty, and the more raise a hundred." However, every time the boat goes to Nanquan to buy, I will bring some back. ”
Liu Zhi saw winter melons in the kitchen, and Aunt Liu said that the women on the island had opened vegetable gardens, and the seeds were brought from Nanquan. The climate here is warm, the vegetables are growing fast and fat, but it is a pity that the most ordinary radish can not grow, and there is the wead, although it can grow but it is not heart-wrapping, the madman grows like a person's knee high, a piece of big leaves are scattered, and the taste is not as good as the mainland, but it can still be eaten, it is really not okay to chop and feed the chickens and pigs.
Liu Zhi's curiosity was about to explode, but it was already dusk, she was determined to go to the vegetable garden tomorrow to see what she said, and there were chickens or something, uh, suddenly she remembered the white sugar cake, the white sugar cake would not be caught, but the white sugar cake has been here for more than ten days, and I didn't hear Aunt Liu say. There is probably a lot to play on the island, and White Sugar Cake disdains to pay attention to these chickens.
She chose a winter melon, and asked Aunt Liu to pick some weeds and come back, and it was really a big piece. Oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are all ready, she also saw a set of knives given to her by Fifth Brother Feng in the kitchen, and when she left the house in Huashi County, she also took the kitchen knife away, counted it as her dowry, and later brought it to the restaurant. Now that I see it again on the island, my heart has been gently twisted, it doesn't hurt much, but it is sour.
She put away her sigh and cut the winter melon into thin slices and boiled the oysters to make soup to cool off the heat and nourish the yin; In addition, it is still winter melon, this time cut into squares, hit the flower knife, there is salted meat, the salted meat is sliced into pieces, and it is steamed, and the salt does not need to be put in. The third dish is winter melon, which is chopped into balls with a spoon and stir-fried with fresh shrimp.
Who told her that she only saw winter melons in the kitchen. She cut the wead into thin strips, white and green in a large bowl, slightly passed with boiling water, mixed with salt, shrimp skin, vinegar and a little sugar.
Liu Zhi felt that it was still too vegetarian, and after thinking about it, he didn't have eggs, so he touched a few and stirred, cut the shrimp and shellfish into fine pieces and sprinkled them on the surface, and steamed a bowl of fresh egg custard.
Looking at a table of light but delicious dishes, she felt that she had done a good job, after all, she didn't know anything on the first day. She sat at the table and waited for Li Chun to come back, telling herself that when she saw him, she must open her mouth and shout, "Brother Xiaochun, you are back", for which she quietly avoided Xingrui and practiced a few times.
Li Chun came back a little late, the food was already half cold, Liu Zhi just stood up and wanted to call him, but saw that his face was full of tiredness, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, she swallowed back the greeting that she had practiced several times, and refused to sneak out again no matter what.
Li Chun went to Houshan to stay with Calm for an afternoon, and then went to work everywhere for a while, he usually didn't care about the affairs of the island, so he went around like this just to dispel the shadow in his heart. Zhang San and Li Si sat under the tree drinking and eating meat, and greeted him when they saw him. Li Chun was angry when he saw these two people, and Xiaozhi smiled at them after getting off the boat, but touching Xiaozhi by herself would make her disgusted to vomit.
Zhang San and Li Si rested for a few days and went back to occupy the city when the wind was good, Li Chun didn't drink, and sat and talked nonsense with them until Bai Qi called someone to find him.
"Where did you get Lord Xia?" Bai Qi knew that he was bold, but he didn't know that he was so big. Xia An is the great companion of the Son of Heaven when he was still in the East Palace, and his status is naturally different, if it weren't for the fact that Mrs. Pearl would invite herself to come to the south for the city, Mrs. Pearl can enter the Three Lions Hall, and Xia An has contributed a lot. This time it was robbed after returning to Beijing to face the saint, which was really a disaster.
Li Chun remembered this, "I lost Longtail Island, I told Bai Lin, didn't he pick up people?" ”
"No" "Probably the little eleventh master doesn't want to wait" interjected The calm who came back from the mountain, his face was full of smoke and dust, the black ash penetrated deep into the texture, and he couldn't wash it cleanly, and he smelled of gunsmoke.
Bai Qi, as a member of the Bai family, obviously understood the meaning of this immediately. Madame Pearl is not very old, but Bai Lin is also twenty, if you want to wait for Madame Pearl to release power, when will it be? With Li Chun's move to remove Mrs. Pearl's backer, the chances of becoming the next master of the Three Lions Hall are even greater.
Sure enough, no one is a good man and a woman.
Li Chun has never been good at speculation and planning, this is Bai Qi and calm, he only feels very tired when he listens to it, and he looks at Tianyu who is dyed red at sunset and thinks about what Liu Zhi is doing at this time. said that I was really sorry for her, she has been so delicate since she was a child, but because of how much she has suffered and how many sins she has suffered.
After listening to the words relayed by Mrs. Seven, he really wanted to jump into the sea, as a man, he didn't protect his woman, and he wanted her to worry about himself everywhere.
Where the silver has a life, it matters. My own man himself is distressed.
This made him warm from the bottom of his heart. The small restaurant was clean and the business was booming, well, his little branch was so capable that he could run a family business so neatly. Who could be better than a twig.
Li Chun wanted to go home again, but he was afraid that Liu Zhi would show a disgusted expression when he saw him, so he rubbed to the door, and saw that the house had been lit, and he couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart, this was his ultimate dream: there was a room with lights on that belonged to him. In this wandering world, he has a home.
Carefully rubbed into the door, looked at the dishes on the table, and looked at the willow branches that still refused to talk to him, happy and sad. He found himself speechless, and said everything with great concern, for fear that she would shatter like an expensive and fragile Western glassware. In the end, I walked directly to the table and sat down to eat hard.
Yanagi remembered that his greatest childhood wish was to cook for him one day, and the two of them sat down to eat together. The determination to run out of the house and the joy of getting married have not yet cooled, and now they sit together in silence.
She also hated why she cared so much about Madame Pearl's words, why she was so vulnerable. Is it because I'm too afraid of losing him?
At night he slept on the ground, and she sat on the bed and watched him, expecting him to come up. Li Chun thought that he was still afraid of him, hesitated a few times, and said, "Xiaozhi, don't drive me away." I promise not to touch you or speak. ”
Willow Branch slept facing inside, afraid that he would go to the next room if he sat down again. What to do if this continues, this is the situation that Madame Pearl wants, and the thought of the stunningly beautiful woman fills her heart with deep disgust and weariness.
In the morning, Liu Zhi was woken up by the paws of the white sugar cake, and Li Chun was no longer in the room before the white sugar cake had the courage to climb on the bed. Willow Branch played with the white sugar cake for a while before getting up, and when she combed her hair in front of the mercury mirror, she couldn't help but carefully look for the fine marks on her face, in fact, she couldn't see it at all in daily life, but when she was irritated, the thin gray and white marks came out.
So she was always blushing in front of Lady Pearl, and Lady Pearl always pinched her chin and looked at her face carefully, comforting her with pity, it didn't matter, there was precious white otter marrow. The next time, I sighed anxiously for her, why are the fine marks still there?
With a "snap", she pressed the mirror against the table, as if to crush Madame Pearl's face. I definitely have to defeat this woman so that I won't be slumped by her.
