Otoharu

Chapter 336
Knowing that it was almost the time of You, Li Meier closed the books and said to Daoist Siming, "Daoist, you see that I have been talking for a long time, and I wasted your time."

Daoist Siming just smiled and said: "Life on the mountain is already boring, it's rare to have such an interesting little friend to chat with the old Taoist, the old Taoist wished for it."

Talking about it, Daoist Siming invited Li Meier and the others to have dinner in the Taoist temple, "Little apprentices went to the river to catch shrimps, you stay in the temple to eat, just to taste something new, and when you leave, take a basket away." , just in time."

Li Meier laughed when she heard the words, which is right for her specialty, "The river prawns are delicious fried with leeks in oil, even if they are directly boiled in salt water, they have a special taste."

The two talked about the food again, and then Li Meier talked about the purpose of this visit, "Master Daoist, I see that most of the food in your temple is self-sufficient, I don't know if there is a surplus in the vegetables you grow on weekdays. "

Daoist Siming replied with a smile: "Of course there are. My temple is full of young men, and there are no others. They all have a lot of strength. The hills in this Taoist temple are also from the old Taoist Siming Mountain." In the past, there were naturally a lot of fields cultivated, not only enough for our Taoist temple to eat, but also a lot of surplus every year."

Li Mei'er was surprised when she heard it. It turned out that Daoist Siming looked poor on the surface, but in fact he was not poor at all. Sitting on such a large mountain, even if he was farming and planting trees, it would be very profitable.

Li Meier felt that she was the right person to find this old Taoist, so she smiled and said: "Master Dao, you know the Bailu Academy on the top of the mountain, I bought a shop outside the academy, and planned to open a restaurant, but this has never happened. The cost of transporting food materials up the mountain is too high, so I thought about ordering some rice, noodles, fruits and vegetables from you, Daoist, look..."

Hearing what Li Meier said, Taoist Master Siming smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be able to do business at such a young age. It is indeed a good business to open a restaurant outside the academy. What you said is not a big deal. As long as we Anything in the temple can be delivered to your store.”

Li Meier was even more happy when she got Taoist Master Siming's consent, and said: "If there are other things that need to be transported from down the mountain to up the mountain, I wonder if I can ask the brothers in the temple to help. Don't worry, I will definitely pay for the errands." .”

"You are very thoughtful." Daoist Siming said with a smile again, "As long as my apprentices are willing and they don't interfere with their usual homework, I naturally have no objections."

Li Mei'er didn't expect Daoist Siming to be so eloquent, so she promised that she would bring some special dishes next time she came over, so that Daoist Priest could taste her cooking.

The dinner in the Taoist temple is also very rich, perhaps because they are guests, the chef in the Taoist temple specially cooked some special dishes, naturally most of them are wild game, after all, this is a special product on the mountain, and the river prawns are all caught on the same day , very fresh, the cook purposely made half fried in oil and half boiled in water. The shells of the fried river prawns were all crispy. Kang Geer swallowed them with shells and meat.

The staple food is wild vegetable omelette, which is full of fried omelets. Just smelling the smell makes people's index fingers move, and it tastes full of the aroma of eggs and wild vegetables. Kang Geer is such a small person, I ate several pieces, and each piece was as big as an adult's palm.

The soup is tofu fish ball soup. I don’t know what kind of fish the fish balls are made of. It tastes very fresh. Li Meier asked specifically, and then I realized that it is a small white fish unique to the mountain stream, and I don’t know its name. Anyway, the fish is about the length of a finger and has no thorns. If it is deep-fried or peeled, the fish balls are the best.

Li Mei'er thought that before she left tomorrow, she would grab some and bring them home, and they would be delicious if they were wrapped in egg liquid and fried.

Everyone in the Li family ate their stomachs round again this meal, and Brother Kang held his protruding belly and hiccupped and said: "Sister, there are so many delicious things on this mountain, we often come here Let's play here."

When Mrs. Jiang heard this, she reached out and knocked her son's little head, and scolded: "Stinky boy, you don't study anymore, you just think about eating and playing around all day long, why don't you learn from Brother Shanqing, look at him Work harder, and you will pass the scholar examination at such a young age, and you will still be the top case! If you have three or four points like him, mother will wake up laughing from her dreams!"

Brother Kang's temperament is like Li Yan, and he is also very open-minded. He will not be unhappy because Jiang Shi compares him with Jiang Shanqing. He compared, if I can be like my father, a scholar in my 20s, I will be satisfied."

Mrs. Jiang was very depressed about her son's lack of ambition, but after thinking about it, she felt that what he said was right. How many people in this world can be among the top [-] talents? Down to earth.

After dinner, the weather turned dark, so Li Meier and his party naturally stayed in Guanli again. They also greeted Mrs. Li when they left home. If they couldn't go back in time, they would stay on the mountain for one night and return the next day. Family.

There was nothing to say all night, probably because they climbed too many mountains during the day, everyone slept soundly at night, and when they woke up in the morning, it was already the hour of Chen.

In order to get home before noon, Li Meier and the others hurriedly bid farewell to Taoist Siming and went down the mountain.

Daoist Siming also very politely sent a basket of river prawns and a basket of small river fish.It also saves Li Meier to go fishing again, but Meier, who is always good at living, can't do without some fresh and tender wild vegetables on the way.

Li Mei'er felt that it was unreasonable for Mrs. Li to think that she would not be able to live a life like her who would pick wild vegetables every time she went home.

The group of people slept well at night, so naturally they went down the mountain much faster, and they returned home on time before noon.

Seeing her eldest grandson come back, Mrs. Li was naturally very happy. She hugged him for a while and asked for warmth, for fear that he would be tired from climbing the mountain.

"Grandmother, it's fun to be on the mountain. We also went to the Taoist temple. There are a lot of delicious food and game in the Taoist temple. I have never eaten it before." Kang Geer talked to his grandmother about the food on the mountain. Seeing and hearing, that is an excitement.

Mrs. Li heard that they went to the Taoist temple, so she asked a little strangely: "Didn't you go to the academy, why did you go to the Taoist temple?"

"Grandmother, I'll tell you about this after dinner. I brought back shrimp and fish from the mountains, as well as wild vegetables I picked along the way. I'll make wild vegetable omelets for you at noon." Li Meier told Baozi Put all the fish, shrimp and wild vegetables in the kitchen, and said to Mrs. Li.
