The elm forest was very lively on this day.

Eleven or twelve-year-old children swished up the tree and broke branches for the adults who remained below, and the women under the tree picked up the branches and swept them from one end to the other, and the bean-sized elm coins fell into the containers.

Occasionally, a few are scattered in the dirt by the spring breeze, and disappear into the dust before becoming a good fertilizer.

The bare branches also fall into the soil, some of them become firewood after a few days, some are inserted into the ground to absorb nutrients and regrow, and after a few years they will grow into towering trees and merge with the elm forest.

Nature has nurtured human beings, and human beings have unconsciously made nature more beautiful.

Cheng Xi and the three of them walked home along the path, and there was the background sound of women's chatting gossip and children's laughter behind them.

"Coming back?"

Xu Lao sat in the courtyard and was concocting medicinal materials, "I skipped a class, you better make something delicious." ”

"That's nature, just wait."

"If I'm not satisfied, don't be lazy in the future, I won't be able to do it for a moment!"

"Yes, yes, listen to you."

"Why is this girl more hungry for food than I am?"

Xu Lao looked at Cheng Xi who walked into the kitchen and shook his head and muttered, saying that he had seen the wrong person at the beginning.

He's not a good master, he was forced to change the class schedule by his own apprentice within two days of teaching, what combination of work and rest, only four classes a day, and a quarter of an hour's rest in the middle of the time, she must be let out of class.

Who is the master and who is the apprentice?

I have lived for most of my life and have never heard of such an outrageous academic and artistic career, and no apprentice is afraid that the master will not preach when he smells the chickens and dances diligently and conscientiously follow the master's ass to study.

However, the newly accepted apprentice is not a person, and she even threatens him with wine!

"Alas~"

If it weren't for her qualifications being so good and not missing any homework, see how I clean her up!

Here Cheng Xi walked into the kitchen, not knowing that his master was muttering to her behind his back.

"Wangshu, bring a few large basins."

"Yes, ma'am."

The back basket is woven with bamboo strips, which was originally only used to hold some wild vegetables and other things, and the weaving is not dense and leaves many gaps, and naturally it cannot be filled with elm money.

The three of them sat together on a small bench, took out the branches from the back basket, picked the elm money, and did a simple processing by the way.

The task was simple and effortless, and it didn't take long for a large basin to be filled.

Cheng Xi asked the two of them to deal with the rest, and she was responsible for washing the pot of elm money, pouring water into it and washing it several times, and then she went to the space to get clear spring water to soak.

Well, if it doesn't taste good, she, the chef, won't have to live.

"Let's see if you can speak with your conscience later."

Want to grab her handle?

Impossible.

Cheng Xi made up for Xu Lao's embarrassed and arrogant expression, hehehe

People are shameless, invincible in the world!

Yuqian Wowotou is actually very similar to Yuqian rice, they are all added to flour, mixed evenly and steamed in a pot, and what you eat is a season and a fresh. And the dipping sauce is the soul, which is enough to increase the taste of the elm money by several degrees.

When the sun moved to the south, the three frames of elm money had been fully processed and soaked in the clear spring water for a long time.

Cheng Xi handed over the work of steaming elm money and steaming wowotou to Shen Xingqi and Wangshu, and she became the little sister who peeled garlic.

Break open and peel the garlic, pound it into a fine garlic paste with a garlic pounding tool, take a clean small bowl and pour it in, add two tablespoons of cold vinegar, a little soy sauce, and finally add an appropriate amount of refined salt and mix thoroughly.

Ten minutes later, there was a burst of elm money fragrance in the pot, and the first pot of steamed elm money had been completed.

"Why does this taste different from what I've tasted before?"

Xu Lao, who was concocting medicinal materials in the hospital, smelled the fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose and was puzzled.

"What's going on with this girl, could it be that she is the only one in the world who has a pair of skillful hands?"

It's incredible!

The work in Xu Lao's hands was completely unbearable, and his thoughts and reason were all attracted by this rich smell of steaming.

"Girl, girl? Come out, come out! ”

"Master, what's the matter?"

"Come on, come on, help Master concoct the remaining medicinal herbs, and let me see if you have grown."

...... "If you can't do it, you will throw it to your apprentice?"

Attaboy.

Cheng Xi twitched the corners of his mouth, washed his hands with clean water, and walked to the yard to take over the work in his hands.

Xu Lao couldn't stay for a moment, so he got up and rushed to the kitchen, and at this time Shen Xingqi was walking out with a plate full of steamed elm money.

So he sniffed the scent in the air again, and followed the little girl into the living room.

Cheng Xi: "......"

The second pot of steamed wowotou came out of the pot, and the herbs in Cheng Xi's hand had been almost processed.

A few minutes later, the family sat down at the dining table in the living room.

At noon, there were only two stir-fried small green vegetables, and there was no meat at all, which had not been a configuration for the people of the Shen family for a long time.

But several people didn't feel bad, and their attention was all attracted by the steamed elm money and wowotou on the plate.

"It's so fragrant~"

Xu Lao picked up a piece of steamed elm money with a fast child and put it in his mouth, and the elm money and flour blended together to have a fragrance that he had never tasted, with a sweet and endless aftertaste.

"This ...... Girl, is this sure it's the smell of elm money? ”

Xu Lao has not eaten steamed elm money, or because he has eaten it, he can really feel the big difference between his mouth and others. And as a healer, he was extremely sure that there was nothing but flour and elm money.

It's amazing!

Xu Lao didn't believe in evil and ate two more bites, and was captured by this smell again, and when he saw that the other people at the table were busy eating, he didn't have the heart to dwell on it anymore.

Shen Xingluo picked up a piece of wowo head and broke it, and dipped it in the garlic paste in the small dish in front of him, there was a spicy feeling in the mouth, and there was a familiar taste in addition to it.

He looked at the smug eyes of Shang Chengxi on his side, and instantly realized.

Several people at the table had a large amount of food, the three members of the Shen family and Wangshu were originally people who practiced martial arts, and they ate a lot, and Xu Lao didn't care about the body shape when he encountered food, and a few plates of steamed elm money and wowotou were quickly wiped out.

The plate returned to its former brightness, glowing in the incoming sunlight.

"Master, are you satisfied with this meal?"

“......”

Xu Lao was embarrassed when he remembered the cruel words he had left behind, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't say the word dissatisfied.

So why would he bet on what this girl is good at?

Cheng Xi held back a smile, and the corners of Shen Xingqi and Wangshu's mouths also curled up when they saw this, but the embarrassment of the old man was not something she could see, so she quickly got up and began to clean up the table.

On this day, every household in Shenjia Village was wafting with the fragrance of elm money.

Some people pinch it into a nest, some people directly sprinkle a few handfuls of flour into the elm money and steam it in the pot, and some people mix it into a lake and put it in hot oil and fry it into golden brown on both sides as a cake to eat.
