Chapter 60: Devour!

Lao Wang looked at it and laughed. It's also a lot of fun. The children in the village gradually saw Xiaobai as a child instead of a monkey.

"You're still laughing, Xiaobai was bullied-" Zhang Lan still defended Xiaobai, not wronged, she couldn't feel that joy for the time being.

Wow! -Xiaobai sticks out his tongue at the tiger, grimaces, and runs home. Soon, he came back with a big dick, and the children were immediately dumbfounded: what a big guy!

Xiaobai's hug is really not small. It's hard to hold it, it's at least 20 centimeters in diameter. Compared to those on the snow, it is a giant. This is still what Lao Wang played when he was a child. He kept it in the box for many years. Later, all the treasures in this box were returned to Xiaobai, which can be regarded as finding an heir.

The Tibetan mastiff proudly puts his big paws on the ground, and his little paws point at this and that, which must be showing off: Is your rag as big as yours?

Xiaobai, you are amazing! Zhang Lan smiled and touched Xiaobai's head. It's such a delightful scene. A group of children were startled by a Tibetan mastiff.

However, these little ones won't throw in the towel easily. After the initial shock, they began to tell others what to do: "Xiaobai, if you have the ability, you can pull this big dick!" ”

The children coaxed together, Xiaobai was really helpless. First of all, it's very technically terrible. Second, the whip is too big, it doesn't have that much whip and power, so it's so angry that it scratches people's cheeks.

Zhang Lan wanted to start with Xiaobai, but she gave her two blows, and the big girl shook, which made the little girls laugh.

Is it bullying? Lao Wang rolled up his sleeves and searched for a while with his small eyes. He came over to Michael and said, "Borrow something." ”

Behind him, he untied the scarf around Michael's neck, wailed, threw it twice in the air, then turned his big toe around and began to draw with the scarf. Michael doesn't care. He still clenched his fists and cheered. It seems that he is also an old naughty boy.

Lao Wang was so bad that he smoked a big cigarette and beat all the children to a mess. From time to time there was a burst of shouting.

Even Mina looks a bit spicy and seems to play with her friends when she is younger. At the same time, she also felt some emotion in her heart: although these rural children have no playground to go to, nature is their best playground.

Compared with the children in the city, although the material conditions are much richer than here, they are far less happy than the children here. In this regard, children in the city are lonely.

Thinking of this, she strengthened her vision: in the winter and summer vacations, we must organize two-way communication between urban children and rural children!

The king showed great strength, and the young children were defeated one after another. When the children got angry, they did not get beaten at all and began to push skates and pull small plows.

Just now, Xiaobai, who was standing opposite the children, played with them again in a blink of an eye, scrambling to sit on the plow. As for the farmer, he spends most of his time as the manager's grandson, Koyama.

"I want to sit too, I want to sit too!" Zhang Lan and Xiaobai quarreled. They are all people who want to change. At this point, they had forgotten to go to the tofu room.

When she gets on the plow, no one will pull her. Although Zhang Lan is petite and delicate, she is an adult after all, and it is too difficult for a child to pull her.

No way. Zhang Lan had no choice but to pout, pulling the child back and forth several times, and then the children began to pull her to run fast on the snow. Cheerful cries echoed through the village.

"In fact, it's easiest to get along with children. Pay first, and you'll come back. "Nana is a teacher.

Lao Wang looked at it and shook his head: "Mrs. Lin may never grow up-"

"That's great. Only by maintaining a childlike innocence can we be happy forever. Nana argued with him. In fact, in essence, she and Lao Wang are the same person, so they will get closer and closer.

Even Wang Bei, who was beside him, seemed to be touched by something in his heart. Looking at the happy Zhang Lan and a group of happy children, his eyes were a little distracted.

"Come on, Xiaohu invites me to their house to play!" Zhang Lan ran red and seemed to be one with the children.

Although a little inexplicable, a group of people followed the little boy to the north side of the village. The snow here is very deep, probably because of the northwesterly wind.

The thicker the snow layer, the stronger the snow, which is completely unbearable. Those who walk on it don't have to worry about falling into the snow shell.

The so-called home of those children is actually a big snow cave. They dug it out with a shovel in the snow more than a meter deep. Seeing this scene, Lao Wang's heart warmed, because he had done the same thing when he was young. In order to dig a big snow hole, you will often sweat all over.

"Wow, it's really beautiful. It's just a snow palace! "Zhang Lan crawled into a big snow cave with hay on the ground. When she sat there, she didn't feel the cold wind outside, but felt warm and energized. At this moment, Zhang Lan seemed to have entered a fairy tale world and shouted: "I am now Snow White, Mountain Tiger Tibetan Mastiff and Lan Lan, you are seven dwarfs, please serve the princess!" ”

Cough - Lao Wang was choked by the cold wind: I have never seen this girl sick. Can we have fun together?

What's more, Zhang Lan lies in a haystack and dreams announce that she will sleep here tonight.

"You're not afraid of being taken away by wolves in the middle of the night." Lao Wang curled his mouth, then felt that someone was pinching his waist, and turned to see that it was Nana.

Lao Wang was about to speak, but he felt that Nana's breathing was a little short, and her eyes seemed to become very distant, as if she was trapped in the best memories in the depths of her memory.

The old king couldn't help but say, she held it in her arms and muttered to herself: "Remember that we dug a big snow cave together, and then we were crushed by two tigers. That guy made you cry and almost melted the snow here. ”

Mina blushed and closed her eyes unconsciously. She had a strong feeling in her heart. Even the noisiest Zhang Lan blinked quietly, unwilling to disturb them. Even at this moment, Zhang Lan wanted to lead her seven dwarfs to quietly leave here and leave the Snow Palace for her lovers.

When you express love, do you take into account the feelings of others? Wang Bei bit his lip, a little sweet in his heart. It seems a bit of a pity --

Jigi - Xiaobai flew over with the cry of the snow and hit Lao Wang's chubby face, throwing the snow all over the ground.

"Xiaobai, if I don't beat you into a white monkey today, I'll call you Li Xiaosu!" Lao Wang pulled a piece of snow from his side and threw it on Xiaobai at the entrance of the cave. But his words are basically equivalent to saying that Xiaobai is a little white monkey.

Snowball Zhang Lan's eyes lit up, and she quietly grabbed a piece of snow, and stuffed it directly into Lao Wang's neck while Lao Wang was unprepared.

The children were reluctant to fall behind at a glance and soon fell into a scuffle. Everyone ran to the snow outside. For a moment, snowballs flew up, shouted loudly, and formed a group.

The saddest of the two was Mr. Michael, who watched the game with great interest, but he did not know where the student body came from. The old urchin immediately shouted to join the battle group.

At this moment, whether it is the innocent Lan Lan, the eccentric Tibetan mastiff, the reserved Wang Bei, or the respected Professor Michael, they all seem to be carefree and carefree children, waving and laughing with snowballs in their hands.

A snowball fight is fought in the dark. They looked at each other as everyone sat on the snow and gasped for breath as they were tired. The clothes and hair are covered with sparkling snow, as if they had become heroes in a fairy tale.

"This is the real Snow White and the Dwarf!" Zhang Lan did not forget to ask Lao Wang to take pictures of her. Standing in the middle of a group of little dolls, she really looks like Snow White, but Snow White is a little embarrassed.

Whew--

The wolf's long, high-pitched howl suddenly sounded, making people tremble involuntarily. Zhang Lan led her dwarf to the village. Professor Michael is really nice. Instead of running for his life, he shouted and waved his arms for the ladies and children to go first.

Well. The old man is still cute - Lao Wang looks more likable, but he is also curious why the lone wolf is here at this time. Usually, this guy is far from Jiangbei --

"What? Lan Lan, you said the lone wolf would leave us! Lao Wang looked at Lan Lan for a while, and immediately glared at Lan Lan's small eyes.

As for the lone wolf, Lao Wang is really good. In the winter, he would bring it some raw meat every three or five times. Except for Lan Lan's nourishment of the lone wolf, this guy is now a big circle. After changing into winter fur, his hair became lighter. Standing on the snow, it feels very powerful.

"You white-eyed wolf, we've taken care of you. It's so heartless for you to leave right away! Lao Wang got angry and pointed at the gray wolf.

But Lan Lan was reluctant to part with the lone wolf. The woman hugged the lone wolf's neck, she didn't know what she was talking about, but the lone wolf always looked up and looked cold.

However, the careful Lao Wang still found that the lone wolf's eyes were very different from the usual wild, cold, and ruthless eyes. There is a rare tenderness in the eyes.

Lao Wang is also reluctant: how do we go? When we are leaving, let's shake hands. After all, we can get along once and make memories later.

When Lao Wang approached the lone wolf about three meters away, the guy immediately glared at him and began to show his teeth. He was so angry that Lao Wang scolded: "You white-eyed wolf, white-eyed wolf-"

Professor Michael, not far away, looked silly. In his experience, this is a wild wolf. As you can tell from its meatless lines, it has outstanding explosiveness and long-lasting stamina. Such a person should not be too easy to deal with an adult.

However, the little girl named Lan Lan actually grabbed the wolf's neck like a tamed tiger, which shocked him.

"Lan Lan is really powerful, I want to hug the wolf like this." Zhang Lan's thoughts are really different from ordinary people. Look at her eagerness. Wang Bei quickly grabbed her arm. Don't you see the short man eating out?

Woo - after a long, distant howl, the lone wolf broke free of Lan Lan's arm and stepped on the snow and ran into the distance, which soon turned into a small black dot on the snow.

Yalanlan waved her little arms and watched the lone wolf disappear from view. There is only a large patch of white on the snow.

Lao Wang's mood is also complicated. On the one hand, he was reluctant to give up, and he was also a little confused. But he said something else: "Go away, go away, leave the hares and pheasants in our meadows." Hmph, it's better for us to eat ourselves than to feed you a white-eyed wolf! ”

It sounds like sour grapes. On the contrary, Zhang Lanxing rushed to Lao Wang and said, "Little fat brother, why don't we catch rabbits now?" ”

Lao Wang was very angry. He didn't bother to talk to her. He threw down his arm and returned to the village. However, Lan Lan didn't react much, because the woman had just learned of the lone wolf's intentions: it was going back for revenge and was ready to challenge the wolf king again. Success or not, the lone wolf will definitely return.

Back in the village, the children returned to their respective homes and found their mothers, leaving only Lao Wang and his group to go to Li Dayan's house. The tofu room is in the west wing. When the door opened, there was white air inside, and barely anyone was visible. In addition to Li Dayan, Guan Yun is also here to help.

There was steaming soy milk in the pot, and only one person left first. Michael drank the soy milk and looked at it. He soon became interested in the Great Millstone. Due to the relative backwardness of Jiangbei, this stone mill is still in use.

But Zhang Lan and his family are interested in Ramo's little donkey. The main reason is that the little donkey looks poor, blindfolded, and walks round and round.

"You abuse animals!" Zhang Lan shouted angrily.

"Less common, more weird." Lao Wang muttered. It is normal for oxen to pull plows, horse-drawn carts, donkeys to turn around and touch.

Zhang Lan stopped drinking soy milk and jumped past Lao Wang, "What do you think about covering your eyes and letting you work?" ”

Lao Wang grabbed the back of his head and said, "It doesn't look very comfortable." ”

As if she had won, Zhang Lan took off the donkey's blindfold and touched its long ears

The donkey looked excited. Angang shouted, and Zhang Lan was even more proud: "Look, please him!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw the donkey's neck crooked, his head stretched out on the millstone, his big lips squirmed, he picked up the top beans and chewed them, even if Li Dayan screamed and waved the whip, he couldn't stop his greedy heart.

"No wonder you like this donkey more. It turns out that you are of the same kind. The king was so happy that he quickly put a blindfold on the donkey, and then the guy continued to grind in circles.

As for Zhang Lan, her face was full of frustration, and she secretly blamed the donkey for not winning. Luckily, the girl is too ruthless and soon starts bouncing around the tofu room.

"Don't move, if you drink this, you'll die!" Lao Wang shouted, so frightened that Zhang Lan almost threw the bottle on the ground.

"It's salt water, poisonous droplets—" Guan Yun also helped him. He took the bottle from Zhang Lan's hand, poured out half a spoonful of salt water, and poured it into the pot. As for the pot, it was boiled soy milk and dried slightly.

Zhang Lan withdrew at that time: "You still put poison in the pot, you want to poison people?" ”

"I know what it means to order braised tofu. One thing is reduced to another. This involves chemical reactions. From soy milk to tofu, marinade is the key! Lao Wang glared at her and taught her. Zhang Lan stuck out her little tongue and stopped arguing. I don't know if it's a bit of tofu with brine.

After a while, the pot gradually condensed into tofu jelly, and with the sauce, Xiaobai liked to eat it the most. He scooped out half of the bowl and ate it with a small spoon. Lao Wang never messes around with meals. He went to the main hall to cook some marinade, and then poured the marinade over the white tofu jelly with the sauce. Everyone ate a big bowl.

On the other side, Li Dayan had already begun to pour dried tofu. At this time, he showed his skills by first spreading a layer of tofu buns, then using special water to sprinkle the tofu jelly mixed with sauce thinly on top, then covering with a layer of bean buns, and then circulating in turn. The so-called tofu bag is made of gauze. It is usually several feet long and can squeeze the water out. The lines on the dried tofu are printed on the warp and weft of the gauze.

To shape it, it has a rectangular wooden frame around it, and after several layers of pouring, the wooden frame is full, and then another is placed on top. Finally, it can be stacked two or three feet high.

The dried tofu poured out is as thin as paper, yellow as paper, and the craftsmanship is exquisite. Rich in taste, rich bean aroma; Dried tofu with poor craftsmanship is thicker.

After spraying, you should press with a heavy object to allow the water to seep out slowly. Finally, peel the dried tofu from the tofu bag to make tofu.

As for the tofu, it is easier to put it in a large square wooden frame, and it will be formed after a little pressing, and it will be white and tender. If it is frozen outside for a few hours at this time, it will turn into frozen tofu, which is best for stews and hot pots.

The group ate and ate. Before leaving, Zhang Lan took a roll of dried tofu, and Lao Wang took a few pieces of frozen tofu. Michael muttered about the Chinese he had just learned, in a strange tone: "Eat tofu, I want tofu." ”

Believe it or not, you'll be taken straight to the police station to eat tofu. You are not afraid of being beaten into tofu scum - Lao Wang is very despised, but as a foreigner, he can't explain another profound meaning of eating tofu for a while.

At dinner time, Lao Li slaughtered a few sheep and distributed mutton door-to-door, which is also a benefit for supermarkets during the Spring Festival. Seeing the mutton, Zhang Lanji shouted to eat hot pot.

Just a few days ago, Lao Wang made a big pot of bone broth and then soaked some precious mushrooms, fungus and cauliflower. Because he was just starting out, there weren't many fungus in the forest, so he picked even less. However, this pure wild fur is rare in the market and is certainly more nutritious.

There is no need to worry about impregnation materials. It is enough to have tahini bean curd. Mr. Wu took out half a bottle of leek paste made by mashing the white leeks picked in autumn, which became even more delicious.

After the various ingredients were ready, I found that there was no key pot. Lao Wang had no choice but to run to Guan Yun's house again, bring back a large copper basin, and put it on the stove.

A large crowd sat around the fire, the soup in the pot boiling, and the slices of meat were pulled out after two rolls. After dipping in the spices, they are fresh and tender, which makes Michael praise as he eats.

Most importantly, the atmosphere was relatively harmonious and everyone was happy to sit together. While eating, Wu Laohan sniffed it and said, "There is a smell of burning." Whose pants are burned? "It's also common because it's close to the stove.
