Chapter 672 Teaching Children to Cook

Chapter 670 Three Teaching Children to Cook
Li Junge walked upstream controlling the counting rhythm, first dug the first dam, and then ran down to dig the second.

He heard Liu Zanshu pulling the two children to stand up together, and the three hugged each other tightly and stood on the camp board he had built.

Then the big water arrived, and hit the camp in an instant, covering the little feet of the three children, and stirred up a lot of waves. Zhong Lu's happy screams and Li Xingyu's loud shouts were heard.

The flood came and went quickly, and soon the calm water flow returned to the small ditch.

Zhong Lu jumped down to check the results of her labor, and said, "Hmph! It's not broken! Are we good, Uncle Erpi?"

Li Junge gave a thumbs up: "That's right, the tent is firmly tied up! But then we have to put back the small fish we caught, and catch them when they grow up, and leave the big ones to stew for parents." How about a pot of soup?"

Li Xingyu hesitated: "Then what if we want to drink too?"

Li Junge laughed loudly: "The stewed soup is of course for everyone to drink together, but it's made by you, and it will be extra delicious when mom and dad drink it!"

Li Xingyu breathed a sigh of relief: "Then there's no problem."

The three of them put all the small fish in the small bucket back into the ditch, leaving only the one longer than their own palms, and walked down the stream.

Several wild onions were found on the road, and Li Junge asked Zhong Lu and Li Xingyu to dig them out.

The adults had already started grilling, and Ye Xiaoqin said as soon as the children came down, "Oh, why did it get so dirty? Wow, you caught so many... What is this?"

It was Zhong Yuxiang who knew the goods: "My God, is this a stone flat head? The size of Yuzhou City is three hundred and one catties! The stone flat head here is so big?"

He was about to reach out to pick it up, but Li Junge stopped him: "Don't help me, let's see how Xiaolu and Xingyu perform today."

Li Xingyu said triumphantly: "Well, today, Xiaolu and I stew fish soup for my parents, uncles and aunts. Uh... Uncle Erpi, how do you do it?"

Li Junge said: "It's very simple. Look at me. First, stick the two pectoral fins of the fish like this, and put your thumb against the mouth. It's stuck, right? Then cut off the place under the cheek and tear it open. It's clean, I'm picking off the cheeks, um, I've finished one piece."

The two children were still a bit afraid to do it, but when they saw that Liu Zanshu, who was younger than them, started to do it proficiently, they mustered up the courage to start operating.

When the two children started to operate, Li Junge stopped, and Liu Zanshu brought them.Go and prepare ginger slices, scallions, and minced sauerkraut by yourself.

After Shi Biantou was cleaned up, Li Junge put the pot on and took out the lard bottle and spoon: "Now put the oil, who will come?"

Zhong Lu said, "I'm coming!" She took a large spoonful of lard and scooped it in, and then took another large spoonful.

Li Junge hurriedly stopped him: "Xiaolu lard is solidified, so you can't throw it into the pot. If you splash the oil in the pot, it will cause big bubbles. You stick the spoon to the edge of the pot...the reverse, stick the bottom to the bottom of the pot. On the side of the pot...hey, look, once the oil at the bottom melts, the oil will slide into the pot by itself, isn't it simple?"

"Okay, now put ginger slices, this Xingyu, put them down along the side of the pot, okay, then push them into the oil with a spatula... okay... now sprinkle a few peppercorns in, um, put them in the oil Put the sauerkraut in, put it all down, we have to cook a big pot of soup..."

"Don't be afraid, this is sauerkraut cheering! Stir fry a few times, um, go slowly, stick to the bottom of the pot, lift it up a little, turn it over gently... again... remember the feeling in your hand... you can Speed ​​up a bit... Wow, you're really smart! Xiaolu, let's flip through a few times too..."

"Okay, do you smell the fragrance? Now you can add water... Don't be afraid... Add one-third of a scoop at a time, it's a success! Now slowly add the rest, look, it's actually very safe, isn't it? But You can’t directly add water to the oil right now, and you still don’t have a good grasp of the quantity and speed, so it’s no problem to add it to the fried vegetables…”

"Cover the lid now and wait for the water to boil. Let's go while this is the time. We just picked the wild onions for the dish. Do you think that if you pick the onions first and then cook the soup, is it a waste of time than picking the onions while boiling the soup? This is saving time. little trick..."

"Okay, then you two will switch to learn how to make a fire with Zan Shu, and the one who is free will go to the water's edge, wash your hands, feet and face, and you should fish for dinner soon after you come back..."

While Xie Fang and Ye Xiaoqin were grilling, they whispered: "Xiaoqin, do you dare to let Xiaolu cook at home?"

"Oh, don't dare! I'm afraid it will burn the child!"

"Look at Erpi's teaching really well..."

"Yes, I would never have thought of calling the child's attention to these details..."

"I'm surprised, how can Xingyu be so obedient at home? Don't even think about asking him to sweep the floor..."

"My children are different? The socks haven't been washed yet..."

After the two children came back after tidying up and learning how to make a fire, Li Junge asked Liu Zanshu to wash his hands and face.

When the lid of the pot was lifted, Li Xingyu swallowed: "Wow! It smells so good!"

Li Junge smiled and said: "I haven't fish yet! Look, the fish should be placed like this, with the mouth of the basin close to the water surface, starting from the top and moving downwards, so as not to fall into the soup all at once and splash everywhere... Who can help me? Okay, that's it, okay! Cover the pot, come on, Xiaolu holds the phone to check the time, uncover the lid after 4 minutes, throw the green onion in, at the 5th minute, the fish The soup is ready, isn't it simple?"

Li Xingyu and Xiaolu clapped their hands and cheered: "It's too simple!"

Li Junge waited for them to finish cheering before saying: "Wait, you didn't notice, it seems that there is a step missing?"

Li Xingyu and Zhong Lu looked at each other.

Li Junge said: "Recall carefully, what did we do just now? I always feel that one step is missing..."

The three of them thought together for a while, and Li Xingyu suddenly exclaimed: "Ah! I see! We haven't put any salt yet!"

Li Junge also pretended to be suddenly enlightened: "Oh! Really! Isn't there no salt yet!"

Li Xingyu excitedly found the salt jar, waiting to lift the lid to put salt.

When the cover was lifted, Zhong Lu threw the scallions into it, looked at the phone seriously and counted down: "...ten, nine, eight...three, two, one! That's it!"

Li Xingyu scooped up a spoonful of salt and wanted to add it, but Li Junge stopped him again: "Don't panic, how about... let's taste it first? Anyway, try adding salt, it won't waste much time."

Li Xingyu and Zhong Lu felt that Uncle Erpi's words made sense, so they took a spoonful of fish soup and tasted it: "Ah, it's really delicious. Uncle Erpi's soup is always salty!"

Li Junge slapped his forehead: "Look at my memory! I only remember to add salt to cooking, but I forgot that sauerkraut itself is salty!"

Zhong Lu smiled and said, "Uncle Erpi, you are so stupid!"

Li Junge smiled and said: "Hey, Uncle Erpi is stupid, but he didn't make mistakes, right? Although I don't know that this soup is salty, but I will taste it first before adding salt, so as to avoid the possibility of making mistakes. This is also a kind of knowledge, isn’t it? Well, the soup is ready, let everyone bring the bowls, and taste the craftsmanship of our little chefs!”

After taking a sip of the fresh soup, Li Shuping couldn't help but wipe the corners of his eyes: "It's so delicious, this is fresh fish from the river..."

Xie Fang said with a smile: "I was moved by the child's sincerity, and I was still secretive. Our old Li is emotional. Watching Ayin and Erpi make porcelain on "No Man's Island", I cried so much." Tell one not to watch..."

Ye Xiaoqin was also very touched, took a sip of the fish soup with both hands and said, "Lulu, thank you."

Zhong Lu raised her head and asked, "Mom, is it good?"

Ye Xiaoqin said: "It's delicious, it's delicious. The fish soup my daughter made for her mother is the best fish soup in the world!"

Everyone sat together, eating skewers, drinking beer, drinking fish soup, admiring the scenery, talking and laughing, all in a good mood.

Zhong Lu gnawed on the chicken wings and still remembered the walnuts, and asked, "Uncle Erpi, what do you eat with walnuts? It hasn't eaten yet, has it?"

Li Junge smiled and said: "Xiao Lu is so good, she is so considerate, but you don't have to worry about walnuts, it's a good season for all kinds of plants to grow in the mountains, and walnuts can find a lot of food by themselves, we don't need to feed them."

Zhong Lu asked, "What does it eat in the mountains?"

Li Junge said: "That's too much, tree buds, wild fruits, bird eggs, small insects, it can eat them all."

After eating, the adults lay side by side on the deck chairs, looking at the dots of fish stars on the river, and occasionally a kingfisher flying past, Ye Xiaoqin said: "Ah, I don't want to move at all, here It was so comfortable."

Li Junge said: "At this time, it is suitable to hit a few sea poles, just lie down and empty your mind and wait for the bell to ring."

Zhong Yuxiang said, "Why don't we come back during the next long vacation?"

Li Junge said: "You haven't been to Miao Village, have you? You can go there next time. Now the plank road has been repaired, and a section is transparent. I heard it is quite exciting."

Zhong Yuxiang hesitated: "Uh, is there any other way to go up?"

Li Junge said: "The other thing is to take the zipline up, and you can also climb up the rock, um, it's more exciting."

Zhong Yuxiang: "..."

The three children were picking up pebbles by the stream, and after a while Zhong Lu picked up a red pebble and ran over: "Uncle Erpi, Uncle Erpi, look at the beautiful pebble I picked up!"

Li Junge took a look at the stone in his hand. The stone was only the size of a dime coin and was crystal clear. He said, "This is agate. You can see that there are circles of patterns inside, which are formed during the cooling of lava."

Zhong Lu said, "Then is it precious?"

Li Junge smiled and said: "If you mean rare by precious, it is actually quite precious. If you mean price, among the agates, only the southern red agate from Shuzhou is more valuable."

"However, the pattern of every agate in nature is unique, so this is a unique gift from nature. In this sense, I think it is still very precious."

Zhong Lu said, "Then I'll give it to Mom."

Li Junge said: "When you return to Lijiagou, you can go to Sister Sasha and ask her to punch holes in the stones for you, and then you learn to weave a wrist rope and wear it so that your mother can wear it on your hand." , This is a beautiful gift."

After finishing speaking, he took out the Tai Chi stone on his neck: "Or this is also fine."
