At noon, Zhang Taiping made several dishes by himself, one of which was made of glutinous rice cakes.The reason why I chose to eat it at noon is because the glutinous rice cake is heavy and difficult to digest, and it will hurt my stomach if I eat it at night.

There is a dish called glutinous rice cake fish, but when Zhang Taiping made it, he replaced the fish with rice field eel.The main reason is that glutinous rice cakes are not easy to digest, while eels are hot, which can just offset the damage of glutinous rice to the stomach.

Added sugar shredded eggplant, potato braised pork, lotus root and fungus fried pork, and light fish soup to form four dishes and one soup.

Candied eggplant is braised with honey and eggplant, because the sugar content in honey is very high. Due to the characteristics of sugar, the burned eggplant has red sugar on it, and it tastes not like the previous eggplant. The soft texture has a crispy feeling.

The potatoes in the potato braised pork are fresh potatoes dug out of the ground, while the meat is wild boar preserved in the space.Although they are both pork, there is a big difference between wild pork and domestic pork. There is almost no fat on wild pork, and it is basically lean meat. According to Yaya, it is dark meat. The braised pork cooked in this way is small. Children will eat.If it's that kind of oily meat, probably only Zhang Taiping and the old man can use chopsticks.

The lotus root in the fried pork slices with fungus and lotus root was dug out by Fan Ming on the edge of a pond near the hillside a few mornings.At that time, although Zhang Taiping planted a lot of lotus seeds in the pond, but there was no sign of malnutrition, each of them grew very vigorously, and it can be estimated from the leaves that are nearly twice as large as ordinary lotus leaves. The lotus root is definitely extraordinary.All of this is inseparable from the spatial spring water that Zhang Taiping will put in after a while.

Fan Ming also had nothing to do in the morning, rowing a boat with Wukong and wandering in the pond, picking the ripe lotus seeds when they saw them.Finally, with the attitude of giving it a try, I found a shallow place by the pool and dug with a shovel. Unexpectedly, the lotus root was actually dug out.It's as thick as a child's arm, not very thick, but it's pretty good that the fringe grows to this extent.

The last soup was very light, using only a small fish, with a few stalks of day lily floating on it, it looked very good.

This day lily was also picked by Fan Ming, and it grew by the pond.This thing is suitable for growing in a place with sufficient water, and in addition to the sufficient nutrition in the pond, the flowers that bloom are extraordinarily large, and the bright yellow color is also extraordinarily bright, spreading out on the soup surface.

Wang Gui came over when the family was eating around the table.

Cai Yazhi got up quickly and said, "Brother Wang Gui, let's sit down and eat something."

Wang Gui shook his head and said, "Food is ready, I'll come over and talk to the commander in chief."

Seeing that Wang Gui gave up his seat in every possible way and refused to attend the table, Zhang Taiping stood up and went to the yard with Wang Gui.

Wang Gui was the first to take out a cigarette and light it for the two of them, saying, "I've already contacted an expert who raises wild boars, and I'm planning to go over there tomorrow to have a look, do you want to go?"

"Go, of course." Zhang Taiping said with a smile, "I was still looking for information on the Internet these days, but I didn't expect you to be in touch."

"Hehe, an old friend of mine." Wang Gui shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

"Where is it?" Zhang Taiping asked.

"It's in Hu County. It's not very far away. If it's fast, you can make one round trip in a day."

"Then let's go together tomorrow morning. Who else is going but the two of us?"

Wang Gui shook his head: "I haven't asked yet, I'll ask later."

"Okay, call as many people as you can, and take them out to see them." Zhang Taiping nodded, "How many days do you plan to leave tomorrow?"

Wang Gui nodded: "Let's gather in my yard at five o'clock. If you go early, you can come back early."

"Okay, then it's settled."

After finishing talking, Wang Gui was about to turn around and leave.

Zhang Taiping said from behind: "Wait a minute."

Wang Gui stopped and turned around, Zhang Taiping entered the room, and came out again after a while, holding the plastic bag in his hand and handing it to Wang Gui, saying: "Take it back and feed it to the baby."

Wang Guidai opened the bag, looked at it and asked, "What is this?"

"Hehe, glutinous rice cake."

"Cookies?"

Zhang Taiping nodded and said: "That's right, but it's not the yam cake we often eat in the mountains, but the glutinous rice cake from other places. I soaked some glutinous rice this morning and made it into a cake. It tastes completely different from our potato cake. , take it back and try something new."

"Haha, let's try it." Wang Gui put away the bag and patted Zhang Taiping's arm.

Back at the dinner table, Cai Yazhi didn't ask anything, but the old man asked, "What is Xiaogui looking for from you?" Obviously, the old man knew what Wang Gui had done before.

Zhang Taiping smiled and said: "It's a matter in the village. Isn't half of the money from selling golden nanmu last time left in the village? The village plans to use part of it to build a pig farm and raise some wild boars. He just came here After discussing this matter, I plan to go to the pig raising experts in other places tomorrow to learn some experience."

"Pig farm. It's a good choice for people in the mountains." Although the old man doesn't go out often, he has a good understanding of the outside world.

Cai Yazhi asked at this time: "Where should I go to see it? Is it far away?"

Zhang Taiping said: "In Hu County, we will leave tomorrow morning."

"Where is Hu County?" The farthest place Cai Yazhi has ever been to is probably in the city of Xi'an. It's been nearly a year. Before that, she only went to the town, and the rest of the time was in the mountains, except for Chang'an County. With the neighboring Lantian County, there is naturally no concept of other districts and counties under its jurisdiction.Most of the mountain people are like this.

Hearing her question, Zhang Taiping didn't laugh at her ignorance, but felt guilt and pity in his heart, and secretly made up his mind to take her outside for a walk when he was free, to let her see the outside world and appreciate Some magnificent mountains and rivers elsewhere.

Said: "It's not very far, you can come back in the morning and evening."

Cai Yazhi nodded and didn't say anything else, but Fan Ming said knowingly, "Hey, brother, take me with you."

Mu Hongyu next to her, who had returned from the city two days ago, also had a hint of yearning for her fate, but she understood her actual situation and didn't make any demands.

Zhang Taiping did not agree to Fan Ming's entreaty this time: "This time I am not going to visit the mountains and rivers, but to visit a pig farm. It is destined not to be a prosperous place. Think about a big pig farm. Where can it be built? Either in the suburbs or at the foot of the mountain. And after seeing it in the past, I rushed back, and I spent most of the time on the road, which is not fun.”

After hearing this, Fan Ming had no choice but to give up.

After the meal, Zhang Taiping said to Cai Yazhi: "It's good to eat glutinous rice cakes, but if you eat too much, it hurts your stomach. We can't eat so much. Later, you can give it to Xiao Yu'er and Tang Li who are on the opposite side. Some."

"Well, I see." Cai Yazhi nodded, "When you send Yaya to school later, give some to Lu Feng as well."

In the afternoon, Zhang Taiping led Fan Ming and Wukong to swim in the pond by rowing a boat, picking all the ripe lotus seeds on it.

Speaking of which, this lotus seed is considered a good thing. It can be dried and eaten raw, or it can be cooked into porridge.The most famous and common one is white fungus and lotus seed porridge.

Tremella lotus seed porridge has the effects of nourishing yin, nourishing the lungs, nourishing the stomach, nourishing qi, nourishing the brain, and strengthening the heart. It is not only suitable for all women and children, and those who are physically weak after illness, but also has a very good skin rejuvenation and beauty effect for women. Favored by women who love beauty.

Lotus seeds are also a kind of medicinal material. The biggest and most useful is to treat dreaminess, insomnia or poor sleep quality, which is good for sleep.

The only bad doubt is that you can't eat too much, because it is an alkaline substance, which can have the same effect as persimmon, and if you eat too much, you will be constipated.

After eating mature lotus seeds, some immature lotus pods are also very valuable, because the lotus seed heart can be removed from these immature lotus seeds to make a rare but precious lotus seed tea.

The lotus seed heart is the blue-green germ in the center of the lotus seed. It tastes bitter and has the effects of clearing away heat, consolidating essence, calming the nerves and strengthening the heart.Soak 2 grams of lotus seed heart in boiling water and drink it, which can treat irritability, confusion and nocturnal emission caused by high fever.It is also used to treat high blood pressure, heart palpitations and insomnia.

The most amazing thing in the world is this. Eating too much lotus seeds can cause constipation, but drinking lotus cores with water can cure constipation.According to historical records, Emperor Qianlong always used lotus leaf dewdrops to make lotus seed core tea every time he went to the summer resort, in order to nourish the mind, improve the mind, adjust the vitality, clear the heart and detoxify.The so-called clearing heart fire and detoxification here are elegant terms, but they are actually treating constipation and acne.

"Plucking lotuses in Nantang in autumn, the lotus flowers are over the head; lowering the head to pick lotus seeds, the lotus seeds are as clear as water."

While picking lotus seeds, Fan Ming suddenly sang these few lines, which surprised Zhang Taiping.

This is a poem in the Yuefu of the Southern Dynasties, called "Xizhou Song".Describes the pain of a young woman missing her lover.Among them, "Lianzi" is homonymous to "Lianzi", which means love you. "Bow your head and make lotus seeds" means that the love for you is as pure and loyal as water, and it lasts forever.At first glance, this is a poem about picking lotus. It turns out that the author used puns to express the lovesickness of the lotus pickers.

Seeing Zhang Taiping's surprised expression, Fan Ming proudly raised his head and said, "How is it, does it sound good? This is a lotus-picking song I learned on the Internet, but unfortunately there are only four lines."

Seeing her acting like this, Zhang Taiping knew that she didn't understand the true meaning of this poem at all, but only saw the superficial meaning.

He smiled relievedly and said, "It sounds nice."

Zhang Taiping is not a compliment, although what Fan Ming sang is not the emotion that the poem originally intended to express, but her singing voice is good, like big pearls and small pearls falling on a jade plate, and like an unknowing Dongquan, which makes people feel emotional. Suddenly cheerful, and has a flavor of innocence.

Hearing Zhang Taiping's sincere praise, Fan Ming immediately burst into laughter, and the clear and soft voice was like a wind chime bathed in the breeze, floating above the pond full of green leaves.

Sitting by the edge of the pond, Mu Hongyu only showed envy in his eyes.She also yearns for this kind of situation of rafting on the blue sea and laughing wantonly, but the reality is cruel, she can only sit on the wheelchair and watch, with envy and sadness in her eyes.I don't know if my legs will be good if they fit well, or even if there is hope for a cure.

Fu Hongtao, who was behind her, looked at the sadness in Mu Hongyu's eyes, and couldn't bear it. Although the two had no blood relationship, she always regarded Mu Hongyu as her own sister.

He said comfortingly: "Mr. Zhang's medical skills are excellent, and he will definitely heal your leg. Then you can do whatever you want, go where you want, and do whatever you want."

Hearing Fu Hongtao's words, Mu Hongyu hid the sadness in his eyes, and said with a bright smile on his face again: "Well, when my leg is cured, we will just climb the smallest mountain. I heard that the top of the mountain There is a hawthorn tree on it, which looks like a burning flame in autumn, which is very beautiful."

Zhang Taiping and Zhang Taiping wandered aimlessly in the lake, where there were many lotus pods, they picked a big basket of lotus pods in two hours.

Finally, Fan Ming was impatient, peeled off a lotus seed and said, "I don't want to pick any more, these are almost done."

Zhang Taiping smiled and nodded, today most of the lotus pods were picked that looked older, and those with more good intentions that were not mature would have to wait for a while before picking.It's not that you can't pick it now, but that if you pick it now, the lotus seeds inside may not be fully grown, and the lotus seeds that are peeled out are not full.

After reaching the shore, Zhang Taiping put a basket of lotus pods in the yard.

Cai Yazhi asked: "How do you get this insight?" There are not many chances to see lotus in the water-scarce places in the north. Naturally, there is no place where lotus grows in this ravine. Naturally, Cai Yazhi has never seen this thing. .

Zhang Taiping said: "Peel off the lotus pod and take out the lotus seeds inside."

Having nothing to do in the afternoon, a group of women in the family sat around and began to peel the lotus seeds and put them in the basin.The verdant and green lotus seeds are very attractive, and Fan Ming eats them while peeling them, just like eating peanuts.

Zhang Taiping didn't dare to let her eat too much. Although this thing looks a bit similar to peanuts, its effects are definitely different. Peanuts contain a lot of oil, so you don't have to worry about the consequences of constipation. They also have many benefits. Eat with an open stomach.But this lotus seed is an alkaline substance, eating too much will definitely cause water and fat shortage in the body and cause constipation.This is especially scary on a girl.

"Don't eat too much." Zhang Taiping reminded.

"Brother, have we become stingy?"

Zhang Taiping was angry and funny, pointed at her and said: "Don't be ungrateful, I'm doing it for your own good. Do you know the consequences of eating too many persimmons?"

"Of course I do."

"This thing has the same effect as a persimmon." Zhang Taiping glanced at her and said.

"Ah?" A white lotus seed that Fan Ming brought to his mouth stopped, his face turned a little pale, "It's true, brother, don't lie to me."

"Why did I lie to you?"

"Ah! This is not good." Fan Ming quickly put the lotus seeds in his hand into the basin, with a mournful face.

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's okay to eat a little, as long as you don't eat a lot."

"But the problem is that I have been eating since the afternoon, and I really ate a lot." Fan Ming was about to cry when he saw it.

"Um, then you can ask for more blessings." Zhang Taiping turned around and walked towards the pond on the side of the mountain.

Fan Ming hurried to the back room, probably begging the old man for a prescription, if a girl is constipated, it would be embarrassing to take it.
