Chapter Ninety-Eight: Happy Mid-Autumn (2)

After Wen Han and Wei finished talking, Shen Jun saluted and said, "Hello aunt!" ”

"Shen Gongzi is too polite, we don't have to come to the countryside with courtesy. Come, come, sit down, tired, aren't you? ”

"Not tired, aunt."

After all, there were guests, Wei quickly made tea, and brought it out on the bamboo table under the plane tree in the courtyard: "Come, child, drink some tea to moisten your throat, this autumn, it is easy to be thirsty." ”

"Thank you, aunt!"

"This child, Tytori, come and sit." Webster was very happy to watch the two handsome boys sit down to drink tea, she was not a person of many words, she was full of love, through the eyes of Yin Yin, sprinkled on her son.

"Second aunt, I'm back." Wen Jin was holding a fish in one hand and a basket with green vegetables in the other, "Auntie, what fish do you want to eat?" ”

Wei Shi happily closed his mouth: "Wen Jin makes it, and my aunt loves to eat it." ”

Wen Jin turned his eyes to the other two, Shen Jun was still a little embarrassed to say, and was pushed by Wen Han: "Gluttonous cat, hurry up and order food." ”

Shen Jun was a little ashamed, but he tried his best to control his silence, and asked Wen Jin very calmly, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Do you like grilled fish?"

"You can do anything." Shen Jun said this, but he was actually very strange in his heart, barbecue is a way to eat that barbarians don't know how to cook and have to choose, Wen Jin is very concerned about cooking, how could he do this? Immediately, Shen Jun thought of something else, this Qian Wenjin, could there be any barbecue secret recipe? As soon as the thought popped up, Shen Jun couldn't help but look forward to it.

Wen Jin was in the kitchen, washed the fish, pickled it, and then began to wash the vegetables, just now I met Aunt Hu in the village who came back from the mountain and gave her a large handful of bracken sprouts, whether it is stir-fried or stewed, the taste is very delicious, Wen Jin plans to fry shredded meat, and another dish is fried peach kernels with green pepper fungus. In order to serve the fish faster, Wen Jin arranged a steamer - a corn nut glutinous rice pumpkin cup, and a rock sugar lotus leaf white lotus barley soup.

This soup is still found by Wen Jin in Qian Xiancheng's book, it must be steamed with freshly picked tender lotus leaves and fresh lotus seeds, when it comes out of the pot, the soup color is slightly green, the taste is smooth, the lotus seeds are sweet and soft and glutinous, and the aftertaste has a fresh and tender feeling of lotus leaves. Although the young leaves in autumn are a little less delicious than in spring, they are still delicious.

Wen Jin found that Shen Jun's favorite was sweets, and Wen Han couldn't help but be salty and sweet, so he took care of the feelings of the gluttonous cat to some extent.

There are two stoves in the kitchen, Wen Jin has a steamer, the other stove has a charcoal fire, and a grill with wire winding around it is set up, the fish is thrown from the side, clamped from both sides with a smaller barbed wire, and placed on the fire. Wen Jin regrets that there is no MSG chicken essence to enhance the taste, especially without beer, and it is best to brush beer when grilling fish.

The fish slowly emitted a fragrance, getting stronger and stronger, Wen Jin brushed her own special sauce on the fish to enhance the flavor, and finally sprinkled her own five-spice powder, in her previous life, she liked to use Wang Shouyi's thirteen incense.

The fish was finally tested, Wen Jin put the fish on the board, took off the grilled fish net on one side, buckled the fish plate on the fish, and then turned over with the iron net on the other side, and the fish lay neatly on the plate, and then took off the iron net on the other side.

"Here comes the grilled fish!"

Qian Xiancheng had already returned, gossiping with Wen Han and Shen Jun, he tortured his son's homework, and was 120 percent satisfied with the teaching quality of the academy.

His level can't be tested at all.

The dining table was placed in the courtyard, and a table of eight immortals had been used to replace the small bamboo table just now. The four of them were on one side, and Wen Jin was going to squeeze with Wen Han for a while.

In fact, the Eight Immortals Table is designed to sit two people on one side, so it is not called crowding.

Seeing that the four of them all stood up and gave up their seats, Wen Jin smiled and said, "You eat first, the fish won't taste good when it's cold, and I'll fry two more dishes." ”

These two dishes were fried relatively quickly, and Wen Jin served them one by one, and then the pot was unveiled and the pumpkin cup and fresh lotus seed barley soup were served.

After eating, the three of them came to the pond outside, and Shen Jun occasionally rubbed his stomach while others were unprepared: "Wen Jin, you are so bad, don't wait for you to serve the food like this, the more you go to the back, the better it tastes, hmm-"

"I think several dishes have their own characteristics, and they are all delicious."

"Well, I thought the grilled fish was the best, but I didn't expect that wild vegetables could be fried like the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and you even put on the pumpkin cup, what are the green cubes in it? Sweet and sour with fragrant corn and glutinous Jiang rice, I couldn't help but eat a few more bites, hum, your soup turned out to be the best......"

Wen Jin couldn't help laughing: "Shen Gongzi, can I understand that you are praising me......

Shen Jun immediately put down the hand on his stomach and straightened his waist: "Don't you be so smart, okay?" Oh, I can't even put it anymore. As he spoke, he laughed first.

Wen Han heard Wen Jin say that the frog porridge was particularly delicious, and he was fishing for frogs with a homemade fishing hook, and when he saw the two of them laughing here, he couldn't bear to go, so he put the bamboo pole in his hand and stood up: "What do you two say?" ”

Wen Jin said that frogs can only be caught at night.

was originally a joke, but after dinner, Shen Jun couldn't wait to light the lantern and ask Wen Jin to take him to catch frogs.

In the fields at night, they are not willing to be lonely, all kinds of insect calls, one after another, the big eyes of frogs are shining in the light, and when they see the light in the dark night, they are all stupid in place, just need to go one by one, pick them up and put them in the cloth pocket.

Wen Jin pinched her pocket in her hand, and there were only seven or eight frogs that Wen Han and Shen Jun went to catch, so she stopped.

"That's enough, let's go home."

"Grab more, isn't the porridge more flavorful?" Shen Jun liked such a quiet night very much, and the three of them walked on the wet and soft muddy ground with crackling footsteps.

"It's really enough, frogs eat insects, and when there are fewer insects, rice can yield highly, so let's stop in moderation, just satisfy your appetite a little."

"Okay." Shen Jun was very obedient, and Wen Han also stopped.

The next day, when the rice harvest began, Wen Han and Shen Jun both went to the field, Wen Jin cooked at home, and Wei wanted to help the Wang family clean up the feedlot. Su Tongde took his son Tie Sickle and also went to cut rice.

Breakfast is simpler than lunch, Wen Jin put fungus, lichen, coriander and green onion shreds together to make a cold salad, as well as cold pork ears, fried bamboo shoots and bean curd, a mountain mushroom greens.

In the middle of the hour, the people in the field came back, and Wen Jin brought up the rice and vegetables. The family washed and cleaned up, sat down at the table, Qian Xiancheng moved the chopsticks, and everyone started moving. Wen Han scooped a spoonful of chicken porridge with a spoon, blew it cold, and took a sip: "Yo, Wen Jin, you're right, it's really too fresh, it's delicious." ”

"If it's good, drink more." Wei Shi looked at his son lovingly, and then said to Shen Jun, "Tired, eat more." ”

"Thank you, auntie." Shen Jun likes to play around on weekdays, but in front of his elders, he always looks very mature and steady, and Wen Jin doesn't know which is his true face.

After eating, several men still went to the field, but Wen Jin carried a basket up the mountain, and when the harvest began, almost no one went up the mountain, so she had to pick some bamboo shoots, bracken, mushrooms and other vegetables.

Today seems to be going very well, Wen Jin took an hour, the rattan basket in her hand was almost full, she picked a bush of wild alfalfa, a handful of oyster mushrooms, a handful of straw mushrooms, and a large handful of bracken sprouts, humming a small tune with satisfaction, walking back, Wen Jin saw a large clump of amaranth again. Locals like to blanch amaranth and salad, and there is another snack that also uses amaranth, which is to stir the dough. This is coarse grain, but when it is done, it is fragrant and spicy, very delicious, and in later generations, many hotels have such special rice.

Wen Jin held a long-handled wheat cutting sickle in his hand and swept it on the amaranth first. The grass shook, and a big snake swished up, its yellow eyes and Wen Jin looked at each other, the kind of viciousness that made Wen Jin subconsciously swing the sickle.

She didn't expect that after practicing martial arts for more than half a year, her reaction would be so sensitive, and her attack would be accurate and ruthless.

The snake's head spun and fell to a meter away, and its rolling pin-like body slapped on the ground with a thud.

"I'm worried that there's nothing to do, hmph, you'll send it to the door." Wen Jin coiled the snake body at the bottom of the rattan basket and covered it with grass, and then put in the wild vegetables and mushrooms he had picked, and went home in a hurry.

The locals don't eat snake soup, but fortunately Webster was not there, Wen Jin quickly cleaned and peeled the snake skin, took out the snake meat, minced it, served it with minced green onion and ginger and salt, added a little oyster mushroom grains, put it on a large plate to steam, and then put the snake bones in a casserole, and added tender tofu and bracken sprouts to stew the soup.

She originally wanted to bury the snakeskin under the peach tree in the backyard, but she couldn't bear to see the beautiful patterns of deep purple and orange and yellow, so she washed it and dried it, intending to make the skin ripe and make a belt. This snake is nearly two meters long, it can be used as two men's belts, she doesn't use belts, the original female characteristics, it's too late to cover up, if the thin waist is exposed, it's faster to show the stuffing, therefore, I plan to give Wen Han one, the other, put it up temporarily.

When the people in the field came back, Wen Jin had already fished out the snake bones in the casserole and buried them under the peach tree, and she also fried a green vegetable mushroom, wild alfalfa blanched cold salad, and a bracken shredded meat. Wei Shi and Qian Xiancheng both praised the snake soup for its deliciousness, only Shen Jun glanced at Wen Jin, as if he knew the details, and looked at Wen Jin with a hairy heart, lest he be too talkative, who would have thought that Shen Jun would suddenly abide by the rules and not say a word throughout the meal, but the snake soup did not eat less. Wen Jin was relieved. More than 20 acres of rice, five men harvested, finished in three days, and then, the rice was bundled, head up, ready to thresh in two days.
