Chapter Twenty-Five: A Hearty Lunch
The Ma family made trouble, and Dr. Zhu helped a lot. Xiao Yueshan thought about thanking people for his thanks.
"Isn't that easy?" Guixiang said with a smile, "Dr. Zhu only has a medicine garden, not a vegetable garden. The vegetables we eat are all bought by the people in our village every day. I went to the vegetable garden to pinch more pea seedlings and camellia, and then asked Lingmei to dig some spring bamboo shoots in the mountains. By the way, send all the eggs you have stockpiled at home. It's more than three pounds. ”
"Ling Mei hasn't been going up the mountain lately." Daddy Xiao felt sorry for his daughter, "Is she less frightened?" Let her have a good rest. ”
Guixiang easily couldn't help but didn't roll her eyes: Frightened Mei? Her man's eyes were blind, and she was the only one who was frightened from beginning to end!
Guixiang couldn't help but shudder at the thought of Ling Mei's calmness and ruthlessness at that time when she asked her to use a knife to slash people to prove her innocence.
Ling Mei's temperament was already cold, and now it is even more confusing.
Guixiang smiled reluctantly: "It's that I didn't think it through." ”
"What about Ling Hui? Let him dig up bamboo shoots. Father Xiao snorted coldly, "If there is an accident at home, Ling Yun is young, even if he is young, he actually hides in the house and doesn't dare to come out!" ”
"I won't let them out." Guixiang hurriedly explained, "Besides, he has no power to restrain the chicken, what's the use of coming out?" Isn't it causing us a mess? ”
Dad Xiao didn't let his wife this time: "Ming'er, I'll take him to dig bamboo shoots." Don't spoil him too much, spoil him as a useless scholar, if he can't get into college, he will become a waste. ”
"How so?" Guixiang was not happy, "Ling Hui's grades are so good, he will definitely be able to be admitted to university." ”
Dad Xiao looked at her: "Being admitted to college is secondary." Character is the most important thing. ”
Guixiang was annoyed and glared at him: "What's wrong with Ling Hui's character?" Did you say that about your son? ”
Daddy Xiao tugged at the corners of his mouth: "You just spoil him." ”
Ling Mei listened to her father's argument and frowned slightly. The eldest son and grandson of her family does have some problems.
On the weekend, Ling Mei walked around the space before getting up. The vegetables in the vegetable field are ripe, and the wind and waves are blowing at a glance, and the red and bright tomatoes hang on the branches like red lanterns lit by lights.
Ling Mei tasted one, and the unique sweetness and sourness of the tomato instantly spread all over her mouth. Ling Mei let out a sigh of admiration as if she was enjoying it. The sweetness of the tomato is high, but it does not suppress its characteristic refreshing acidity, and the rich fruity aroma makes the overall taste balance just right. And the entrance is soft and glutinous, and even the layer of skin swallows along with the flesh.
As for the other vegetables, you can imagine their deliciousness without tasting them. Ling Mei Le picked two baskets of tomatoes and collected a basket of vegetables. Then he slipped out of the house under the pretext of going up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots.
Guixiang couldn't ask for it: "Dig more." I want to send some to Dr. Zhu's family. By the way, when I came back, I went to the vegetable garden to pick more vegetables, and sent a piece to Dr. Zhu after the meal. ”
Ling Mei walked up the mountain all morning and dug up more than a dozen spring bamboo shoots to deal with Luo Guixiang. I went to the pond by the wasabi field and fished three large herrings, and the backs were already full.
When she arrived at her own vegetable garden, she cultivated half a basket of vegetables, and secretly put half a basket of vegetables in the space. Comparing goods is infuriating. The vegetables in her family's vegetable garden are already top-notch, and compared with the vegetables in the space, Dengshi has changed from a self-righteous lady to a small jasper.
The big basket and the small basket were moved home, and her mother was waiting for her vegetables to cook, and when she saw that the vegetables in her basket were distinct, she said: "What's the matter?" ”
"Isn't it going to be given to Dr. Ma's family?" Ling Mei pointed to the space dishes, "These are the ones I specially picked out. ”
Her mother sighed, stared at the dish in amazement, and even shamelessly praised herself: "My ability to serve the dish is getting better and better." This dish is also too cute. Hey, there's already a tomato at this time? ”
Ling Mei smiled, untied her back, and said without blushing and her heart beating, "Hmm." I stumbled upon a tomato vine in the mountains. ”
Guixiang's eyes widened: "There is still such a good thing?" ”
The tomatoes are the size of a fist, red as lanterns, and the skin is thin and juicy, sweet and sour. The ghost sent the gods, Guixiang picked up a tomato and stuffed it into her mouth without washing it, and gnawed it all in an instant.
After eating Guixiang, he stomped his feet in annoyance, picked five or six more tomatoes and said, "I forgot to keep the seeds just now." I don't know which bird brought such a good breed to the mountain, so we have to keep it and grow some for ourselves. ”
Ling Mei said: "It's okay. There are many more on the mountain. I'll just pick some more. She took out the herring in her back, "Last time I entertained foreign guests at the village committee, we didn't taste the taste of yusheng." Let Dad show his hand today to let us have a good time. ”
"Ahh Guixiang smiled with joy, "If you want to say that you are lucky, my mother will serve you." ”
Ling Mei said again: "I caught three fish." One for grandma and one for Dr. Zhu. ”
"That's a good feeling." Guixiang was a little distressed. You can't buy a large grass carp that can be used as a sashimi on the market, and these two items cost at least ten yuan. "I'm going to make a tomato with icing and scrambled eggs with tomatoes today. Then there is a mushroom soup with shepherd's cabbage. Ling Yun is too young to eat yusheng, and the herring is braised with a belly and a fish tail. ”
Ling Mei said she had no opinion.
For a while, the kitchen was filled with fragrance, and Ling Yun was so hungry that he moved a small stool to sit on the side, staring at the dishes in the pot. Guixiang cut half a tomato for him, and Ling Yun swallowed it: "Why have I never eaten such a delicious tomato before?" ”
Even Ling Hui, who was immersed in hard reading in the house, sniffed the smell and found the kitchen: "Mother, what are you burning so fragrant?" He poked his head over the pot, "Tomato scrambled eggs?" This smells so outrageous, right? ”
Ling Hui loves this sweet and sour thing the most, and he doesn't read books for a while, but sits at the dinner table and waits to eat.
The high-quality tomatoes in the space are paired with their own native eggs, and the cinnamon is willing to put oil today, so can the taste be bad?
Yue Shan, who came back from the field, swallowed saliva when he entered the door: "Guixiang, what are you burning?" ”
The kitchen is already filled with the smell of braised fish. Guixiang came out with the dish and said with a smile: "You came back just in time." Go get the fish fillet, your daughter wants to eat the fish sheng. ”
"Why did you go up the mountain again?" Father Xiao glared at his daughter-in-law unhappily. Guixiang was in a good mood and didn't bother with him: "Ling Mei has a big idea, what can I do?" ”
Father Xiao asked Ling Mei to confirm that she insisted on going up the mountain by herself, so he didn't say anything more. Wash your hands and put most of the fish on the table.
"This dish is too hearty today, isn't it?"
Four dishes and one soup, there are big meat and small meat, which is of a high standard.
"Don't worry, I've already sent a big fish and two catties of tomatoes to my parents."
Daddy Xiao was shocked: "Where did the tomatoes come from now?" The tomatoes in the field have not yet borne fruit. ”
"Found on Lingmei Mountain. It's delicious. Guixiang took a piece of frosted tomato to her husband, "Taste it." I must keep this tomato. ”
Daddy Xiao tasted it, and his eyebrows were raised high: "It's really - Ling Mei, where did you pick it?" ”
Ling Meihu said: "It's on the edge of the herring lake. ”
Guixiang's eyes lit up: "Shall we move the whole tomato back?" ”
"Nope." Daddy Xiao refused. "It can bear fruit early in the mountains because the living conditions are different from ours. If you do get home, maybe it will be out of the ordinary. ”
Daddy Xiao is wise. Ling Mei smiled at her father and gave him an egg: "Dad, eat eggs." ”
Guixiang coerced the braised fish to the two sons: "You should also eat more." This is a fish for entertaining foreign guests. ”
Ling Hui eats two fish with one fish. The fish is dipped in the sauce, and it melts in the mouth like snow and cotton, and the braised belly is tender and trembling slightly, and it is elastic in the mouth, each with its own taste, in short, it is delicious.
Ling Yun couldn't eat yusheng and didn't make a noise, and said obediently: "When I grow up, I'll eat yusheng with my sister and brother." After saying that, he took a big mouthful of eggs, and his mouth was fragrant and full of oil after a while.
After a super-satisfying lunch, Yunlai Village fell into a short afternoon of tranquility. People who had been working in the fields for a long time began to take naps to recuperate and conserve their strength.
