Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 10 Dinner
Wild garlic, shepherd's purse, silly boy dug up a lot, and Li Hongbing found a lot of wild celery by the river.

The peach blossom fish in the stream and river jumped out of the water from time to time chasing food, shaking their colorful and dazzling fat bodies, as if they were provoking Li Hongbing.

come!Come eat me!
snort!
A bunch of Karami!

I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let you off for now.

Walking home with a bundle of wild celery in his arms, he suddenly heard the barking of wolf pups in the grass by the river. Dahua ran out of the grass, bit his trouser leg and dragged him towards the sound.

"Something?"

Sensing the meaning of the big flower image from the whining sound, Li Hongbing walked over and scraped open the grass.

I saw three wolf and dog puppies circling around a grass nest with more than a dozen eggs in it.

Hi!
wild eggs.

Add a dish tonight.

Smiling, Li Hongbing patted the heads of the four wolf cubs in turn, and each sent a ray of original power as a reward. Taking the wild eggs did not destroy the chicken nest, and waited for the pheasants to continue to nest and lay eggs.

Two people and four wolf dogs returned to the old house with the spoils.

The silly boy continued to gather weeds and plow the ground in the vegetable garden.

Li Hongbing was busy preparing dinner.

Wash the dug wild vegetables with well water and put them aside to control the moisture.

Light the remaining loose bag strips of roasted rice field eel and stuff them into the stove, and then stuff them into firewood. After a while, the water in the pot boils. Li Hongbing pours the washed rice into the pot and cooks, stirring constantly while cooking to prevent sticky pan.

When there is only a little white heart in the middle of the rice, take out the rice and put it in a sieve, run through cold water once, then put the watered rice into a wooden steamer and put it on the pot to steam.

This step is the essence of steaming rice in the countryside. The wooden steamer is a barrel-shaped steamer made of wood. There is a partition made of bamboo strips at the bottom, and a layer of gauze is spread to prevent the rice from leaking into the pot. Steamed rice is more fragrant.

The bacon in another pot has just been cooked, the meat is bright red and attractive, the fat meat is shining bright yellow, and the broth is clear white, exuding a burst of meaty fragrance.

Ow!Ow!
The wolfdog puppies, looking for the smell of meat, ran into the kitchen without making any noise, squatting quietly by the stove, their small black eyes staring at the stove with blue light.

Li Hongbing inserted his chopsticks into the hot bacon, lifted it to the cutting board, smoothly cut a piece with the kitchen knife, and put it in his mouth.

Fat but not greasy, thin but not clogging the teeth, the mouth has an endless aftertaste, and the mouth is full of waxy fragrance!

good to eat!

Li Hongbing couldn't help but cut off another slice, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

Woohoo!

Xiaobai, among the wolfdog cubs, whined greedily, rubbing his two little front legs on the ground, acting like a baby.

"Understood, little glutton." Li Hongbing calmed Xiao Bai softly, raised his knife and cut out four finger-thick slices of bacon, "Come and eat the meat, don't grab it."

Woo!
With a cry, Dahua was the first to walk out of the line, walked up to Li Hongbing, returned to the line with bacon in her mouth, but did not eat it.

Next, the remaining three wolf pups were given their own piece of bacon, but they also refused to eat it.

Li Hongbing knew that they were waiting for his order. Since absorbing the original power, these little guys became more and more sensible.

"Eat it!"

Ahhh!

The four wolf pups were eating meat at the same time, and anyone who saw it would like it.

Li Hongbing continued to cut the bacon, and soon a large plate was filled, and the soup used to cook the bacon was not wasted. Skim off the foam and lard on the broth, and then remove the firewood from the stove, leaving only a little charcoal to cook. .

You must know that the bacon soup is also delicious, with a strong fresh fragrance. Chop wild garlic and sprinkle it into the soup, especially when mixed with rice, the taste will not be too fragrant.

Soon, the wooden steamer made a popping sound, indicating that the rice was steamed.

Put the wooden steamer aside, wash the pot and heat the oil.

A big lump of lard was put into the pot, and with a thud, the solidified lard was dissolved by the high temperature.

Grab a large handful of dried chilies and throw them into the pot to sauté until fragrant. Wait until the dried chilis turn black and red, exuding a pungent spicy smell, then add the bacon and stir-fry to get rid of the remaining fat in the fat.

At this time, the smell of bacon filled the kitchen, and the sliced ​​wild celery was quickly stir-fried in the pan, added soy sauce for color, and finally sprinkled with a handful of wild garlic, and the pan was cooked.

Dark red and shiny bacon, green and crisp wild celery, and wild garlic add fragrance, and a plate of fried bacon with spicy wild celery comes out of the pan.

Li Hongbing picked up a piece of bacon and threw it into his mouth. The taste of the fried bacon was different from that of the original bacon. The fried bacon was full of spiciness, full of fat and burst the taste buds, adding a bit of pot smell.

Delicious and fragrant!

Only the stove can produce the authentic rural taste, which is the taste of hometown, and it is also a childhood memory.

Stir-fried bacon with spicy wild celery.

Li Hongbing beat all the wild eggs found by the wolf dogs into a bowl, and then added the chopped wild garlic into the egg liquid. After stirring evenly, the lard in the pot had emitted white smoke.

As soon as the wild garlic egg liquid came into contact with the high-temperature lard, there was a sting, and the smell of fried bacon in the kitchen was immediately taken over by the smell of eggs.

At the door of the kitchen, the four little guys were leaning on the threshold, holding their heads up and breathing greedily in the air, and the saliva slipped from the corners of their mouths unknowingly.

The scrambled eggs come out of the pan quickly, just stir fry a few times, if the time is too long, they will taste burnt.

Finally, grab a handful of shepherd's purse and throw it into the bacon soup.

Two dishes and one soup.

Live!

Li Hongbing took off his apron, looked at the puppies who were drooling on the threshold, "Go get the silly boy to eat."

Ow!

The wolf dogs responded twice, and ran towards the vegetable garden.

As for whether the idiot can understand, Li Hongbing doesn't care, the main reason is that the pitiful appearance of these four little guys begging for food is really pitiful.

The afterglow of the setting sun passes through the canopy of the old oak tree, shedding a little bit of golden awn.

Li Hongbing moved the dining table to the rice field and placed two rural chairs.

A large plate of fried bacon, a plate of scrambled eggs, a pot of bacon soup, a bucket of rice, a pot of rice soup, this is the first meal back home.

After setting the table and chopsticks, the four little fellows had completed their tasks and walked around the dining table, but Shawa was standing by the edge of the rice field with a shovel on his shoulders, staring at the dining table with a pair of pure big eyes.

"Come over for dinner." Li Hongbing greeted.

The silly baby swallowed, and said honestly, "Master Gen said that the silly baby can't serve the table."

Li Hongbing put on a straight face on purpose, pretending to be angry, "You don't listen to my grandfather, come over for dinner."

While speaking, he came to Shawa and pulled his thick arm like a poplar tree towards the dining table.

The 1-meter-tall idiot with a body as strong as the city gate and a lumpy body was actually pulled by Li Hongbing.

!!!

Li Hongbing secretly laughed, who said that the child's brain is not good, I think he is very smart!

Forcibly pushing the idiot into the chair, Li Hongbing took out a porcelain basin, filled it with a half-wooden steamer of rice, and pushed it in front of the idiot.

"Eat quickly, there's still enough." Li Hongbing said with a smile.

"Yeah!" Shawa nodded honestly, picked up the chopsticks and pulled them into his mouth extremely quickly. This picture of eating reminded Li Hongbing of an automatic car washing machine. A car slowly disappeared when the brush turned.

After arranging the silly babies, Li Hongbing set his sights on the hungry little ones, and saw them holding stainless steel bowls in their mouths and eagerly wagging their little tails.

"Don't worry, come one by one."

Li Hongbing first took the stainless steel bowl from Dahua's mouth, filled it with half of the rice, then poured a few spoonfuls of bacon soup to soak the rice, and added some fried wild eggs.

The little ones have stomach problems and can't adapt to salty and spicy food, just eat some eggs.

After serving the five little ancestors, it was finally Li Hongbing's turn to serve the meal.

Three bubbles' voices sounded outside the courtyard, "Brother Hongbing, are you there?"

Li Hongbing looked at the fragrant rice in the wooden steamer, sighed helplessly, put down the bowl, turned and walked towards the gate.

Opening the door, San Pao grinned his big mouth, looked past Li Hongbing, and looked at the dining table on the rice field, "Brother Hongbing, it's time to eat!"

"Yeah! At the beginning, did you eat, why don't you come in and have some." Li Hongbing replied politely.

"You're welcome!" Sanpao grinned and ran towards the rice field in two or three steps.

Reincarnation of a starving ghost!
Li Hongbing shook his head, closed the gate, and when he returned to the rice field, he was completely stunned.

There was a mess on the dining table, there was only soup left on the plate, the bacon soup had bottomed out, and there was only half a pot of rice soup left, and looking at the wooden steamer, there was barely half a bowl of rice left.

I steamed five catties of rice.

You guys are so fucking edible.

At this moment, Li Hongbing felt as if ten thousand horses were galloping past.

The silly boy seemed to know that he had done something wrong, so he buried his head in the porcelain basin and dared not lift it up.

It was the heartless San Pao who held the big bowl and swallowed the last piece of bacon with his neck stuck, only then did he have the time to give a thumbs up.

"Brother Hongbing, the food you cook is really delicious."

Ha ha! !
Li Hongbing twitched the corners of his mouth with a fake smile, scooped up half a bowl of rice soup and poured it into his stomach.
