Chapter 162: The Mountain Family's Confession
The meal lasted an hour and a half, and it was nearly seven o'clock, the sun had already set, and the old house was still brightly lit.
Lin Musen sent out these old and young people one after another, it was already very late, Long Long came back from vacation today for the weekend, and the second uncle had already let his acquaintances take him back, Lin Musen was a little overt today.
Longlong's children caught up with this big meal, and they also ate with a round belly, burping vigorously, and shouting that they wanted to eat.
"I've been here with you for so long this time, we feel that after eating the food made by Brother Lin, we feel that everything is worth it!!"
This is what Zeng Yong said to Lin Musen after leaving, and Lin Musen was very useful when he heard it.
The second uncle took the opportunity to drink a lot of wine, and he was drunk, and the second grandmother was not angry at the table, but he didn't know what to do when he went back, but when they left, Lin Musen didn't look very good at the second grandmother's face.
Although Grandma Qin's grade is a little old, she eats not less, Lin Musen also toasted a glass of white wine, and the old man killed it very heartily, and then it was Lin Zhen who sent her back, and Pan Wei muttered a few words to Lin Musen and followed.
After that, under the cleaning up of Aunt Hua, the old mansion soon recovered, and the excitement just now seemed to be still warm, the old mansion had not been so lively for a long time, which made Lin Musen think about some things from a long time ago, and after such a lively time, I felt that the old mansion was more vibrant.
The night is slowly deepening, and the stars in the sky seem to be brighter, making today's night sky extraordinarily brilliant, gorgeous, and beautiful to intoxicate.
The old house returned to calm, insects chirped, frogs chirped, everything was so comfortable, Lin Musen, who had been busy all afternoon, also fell asleep on the bed, and the thought in his heart before falling asleep was, it was good to come back.
............
On Saturday, very early, Lin Musen, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by the little guy Long Long, who was not looking for Lin Musen, but for the two of them.
After letting them out, Lin Musen took Da Mumu to Pan Tao Garden, after he ate a peach, Lin Musen, who was originally a little drunk and confused, instantly got drunk and smelled nothing, and suddenly sobered up.
"Yesterday, I was fooled by Pan Wei's guy and drank a lot of wine, this peach still has the effect of rescuing, it's really magical, if you secretly ate one last night, you will definitely not be able to drink Pan Wei. Lin Musen pursed his mouth, thinking with some regret.
After finding an ancient book in the wooden house, Lin Musen started his daily leisure mode.
The peach blossoms in the backyard are in full bloom these days, the bright ones are very enchanting, there is a kind of touching beauty, and from time to time there are some fully blooming petals that are gently brought down by the wind, gradually forming bursts of peach blossom rain.
The peach petals fell on Lin Musen's book, and he was a little blind, and the hazy feeling in the pink pink was very mysterious and very dreamy, so he gently swept off the petals with his hand and continued to read.
The title of the book is "The Mountain Family Qing Offering", which was written by a man named Song Linhong, and the title of the book is derived from Du Fu's poem "The Mountain Family Steamed Chestnuts Are Warm, and the Picnic Shoots Elk New", and the content is centered on vegetarian food.
The "mountain family" in the poem means the mountain dwellers' homes, and the "wild rice" refers to the coarse tea and light rice, and the meaning of Song Linhong's name is already obvious.
Living in seclusion in the mountains and forests, entertaining guests with fresh ingredients unique to the mountains, he finds it very interesting to think about it.
However, he just invited someone to dinner yesterday, and it seems a little late now, but there are many recipes in it that are very special, so you can try them.
"That's interesting. Lin Musen saw an interesting recipe and unconsciously said it to himself.
It is a dim sum called "pine cake", which is very distinctive, it is mixed with pine pollen and cooked honey at the end of spring, and made into "ambergris cake-shaped".
It is still very attractive to many people, and now is the flowering period of the pine trees on the mountain, Lin Musen thinks that he can pick some back to make pine pollen, and then try to make this 'pine cake' dim sum.
Usually no one really has this leisure to make pine pollen, after all, this is time-consuming and laborious, it is better to pick other mountain goods more cost-effective, and this thing has not been purchased by anyone, so few people pick.
The flowers of the pine tree are wind-borne flowers, which are flowers that use wind power as a pollinator.
This kind of flower, most of them are small and not bright, the flowers are often degraded or non-existent, and there is no fragrance and nectar glands, but the amount of pollen it produces is particularly large, suitable for making some pine pollen and other things, edible and medicinal.
Some village elders will pick it up and make pine pollen, just soak it in warm water.
And the old people pick the buds that can only pick pine flowers, and the buds can only be the kind that have not yet opened, and the open buds cannot be picked, because as soon as you move, the pollen will fly.
The buds picked should be spread on the roof to dry, the pine pollen obtained by sieving a day later is called "head powder", and then spread and dried, and then the pine pollen obtained by sieving is called "two powder" and "tail powder", the quality of the first powder is the best, and the quality of the two powder and the tail powder is much worse.
Lin Musen's grandmother used to make pine pollen, so Lin Musen vaguely remembered some methods, but now fewer and fewer people should be able to do it.
He remembered the faint scent of pine seeds, and then, Lin Musen's heart moved, put down the ancient books, carried a bamboo basket on his back, and prepared to go to the pine forest in Niujiao Mountain to see, he hadn't seen it for so many years, and he didn't know what the pine forest had grown.
If you have one, pick some pine flowers, and if you don't, use it as a morning exercise.
After eating enough, Da Mumu didn't want to move, and glanced at Lin Musen, who went out, and decided to look after the house, but there were many strangers hanging around at the door of the old mansion recently.
I really think of one out of the other, I'm afraid that only Lin Musen and the little kids in the village have time to get this.
Niujiao Mountain is located near the small cow mountain with wormwood, and it is two small peaks connected together, and of course it is also named after the horns of the cow.
Lin Musen walked towards the mountain forest, and when he walked to the middle of the rice field, he saw that some villagers were busy working on the more than 100 acres of flower beds here, and they seemed to have planted a good look.
They also greeted Lin Musen after seeing it, and some people asked Lin Musen what he was doing, Lin Musen naturally said that he was going to pick pine flowers, and they also enthusiastically told Lin Musen, where is more, where to get closer.
Then, after walking in the direction they said for about ten minutes, Lin Musen came to Niujiao Mountain, and saw the pine forest that he had not seen for a long time, and also saw the yellow flowers like ears of wheat on the pine tree.
Suddenly, Lin Musen also showed a bright smile like sunshine.
