The diva and I cross each other

Chapter 382 Old Couple and Old Wife Mode
The car came off the provincial highway and drove a few dozen meters further. Lin Shuwen saw a greenhouse.

Lin Shuwen pointed to the greenhouse and asked: "What is grown there? Vegetables?"

"If you ask about other greenhouses, I really don't know about them. I really know about this one. My grandfather's greenhouse is in this one.

As far as I know, the main crops grown in this greenhouse are lettuce, baby cabbage, cucumbers, and radish. There is also a small area of ​​land planted with some beans. "

"Do you also grow lettuce at home? The organic lettuce should be good for hot pot. I will get some more later and cook a hot pot when I go back."

"Don't go back, we'll cook hot pot for lunch."

"Oh? Is that okay?"

"Of course, the ingredients in the village are all ready-made. If you want to eat beef rolls or mutton rolls, you can buy them freshly. You can get vegetables from the greenhouse. If you don't have anything in my greenhouse, you can pick it from other greenhouses. The ingredients are absolutely It’s fresh, just buy the hotpot base.”

After listening to Luo Ming's words, Lin Shuwen's eyes lit up. Just hearing about this kind of hot pot makes people drool.

"Then let's cook hot pot for lunch! Where can I buy hot pot base?"

Lin Shuwen's father is from Shanxi, but her mother is from Sichuan. Lin Shuwen also learned her cooking skills from her mother.

Then Luo Ming ran out and came back with a large bundle of firewood.

"It doesn't matter where you put the key. People in our village are very simple. Besides, there is nothing valuable in the old house. The most valuable thing is the house itself."

Luo Ming introduced Lin Shuwen to the situation in the village, and also asked Lin Shuwen what food she wanted to eat.

"Yes! After my grandparents were brought to the city by my dad, the old house stayed there all year round, that is, when my grandpa came back to grow vegetables. It would definitely look a little dilapidated if no one took care of it." Luo Ming walked out of the door as he spoke. I found a key under the big stone pillar in front of me and opened the door.

But in this kind of environment, leaning against the stove often gives people a long-lost sense of security.

Later, Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen came to the kitchen carrying ingredients.

Therefore, Lin Shuwen especially likes spicy food. If it were not for maintaining her figure and skin, Lin Shuwen would definitely not enjoy spicy food.

Entering the village, the road conditions became more complicated. Luo Ming could no longer drive forward just by directing Lin Shuwen, so the two of them changed positions, with Luo Ming sitting in the main driver's seat.

"This is where you keep your keys? Haven't you lost anything in so many years?"

"Luo Ming, this is an earthen stove in your house! How do you want to eat hot pot?" Lin Shuwen touched the stove and asked.

"Is this your old house?" Lin Shuwen asked after getting off the car and looking at the two large rusty iron doors in front of her.

"There is also a supermarket in our village, so you can go and buy it directly." Luo Ming said with a smile.

Luo Ming sat in front of the earthen stove, with his back against the wall. Most of the already cramped space was taken up by piles of firewood. People of Luo Ming's height would have trouble using fire tongs.

Luo Ming stuffed some hay into the stove, and then took out a lighter from his pocket.

"Who says you can't have hot pot on an earthen stove?" After saying this, Luo Ming put a big pot on the stove.

"So that's it."

Then Luo Ming started the car and took Lin Shuwen around the village.

Lin Shuwen counted the items on her hands. Luo Ming walked around and bought all the dishes Lin Shuwen wanted to eat. Then he went to the village supermarket to buy hot pot base.

After getting everything ready, Luo Ming drove back to his old house.

Luo Ming originally didn't like spicy food that much, but after getting together with Lin Shuwen, he gradually began to like spicy food, so the hot pot base Luo Ming bought this time was medium spicy.

A huge flame ignited the hay in the stove. After the fire started, Luo Ming stuffed some platycodon into the stove.

The platycodon was quickly ignited, and Luo Ming then put firewood inside and fanned it with a fan from time to time, so the fire started.

As the flames burned and made a whirring sound, a warmth rushed directly to the door, making the face hot.

The originally cold kitchen suddenly warmed up.

"Can Luo Ming put this on the stove?" Lin Shuwen asked, holding a few small sweet potatoes.

"Just put it on both sides and burn it." Luo Ming said.

"It won't be burned, right?" Lin Shuwen asked worriedly.

"No, give me the sweet potatoes and I'll do it!"

After speaking, Luo Ming immediately took the tongs and took the sweet potatoes. He skillfully put a few sweet potatoes into the stove and placed them on both sides where the flames could not reach them. He said to Lin Shuwen who was looking into the stove: "You have learned how to do it this time." ?”

"It turns out that the inside of the stove is like this, but Luo Ming, why did you arrange the firewood into a pyramid?"

"This will help burn." Luo Ming said seriously.

"...I think you've had enough to eat and have some time to spare!"

It didn't take long for the water in the pot to boil. Luo Ming added the hot pot base ingredients, then washed the prepared ingredients and placed them beside the stove.

"Why don't you fry the hot pot base?" Lin Shuwen asked.

"It's up to you to fry or not! It's not much different."

"Well, you are really casual!"

"Yeah! We seem to have forgotten to buy sesame paste and chive flowers." Luo Ming said with a pause.

"Tahini has too many calories and is not healthy to eat."

This is the most unique hot pot experience that Lin Shuwen has ever had. There was no sesame sauce and she still kept standing.

But the vegetables and meat were very fresh, and the man who cooked the hot pot for her was also very handsome. The dessert after the meal was roasted sweet potatoes.

After eating hot pot, Luo Ming took Lin Shuwen to the pond behind the small village. This pond was formed by the spring flowing down from the mountain.

Many families in the village will use the water here in summer.

Naturally, it won't work in winter, because the pond water freezes in winter. But no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, there are always some old men holding fishing rods by the pond.

"Wenwen, have you ever heard of a fishing joke?"

"What's the joke?" Lin Shuwen asked curiously.

"If I can't catch big fish, I'll catch small fish. If I can't catch small fish, I'll touch the shrimps. If the shrimps can't be touched, I'll pick wild vegetables. If there are no wild vegetables, I'll drink a few sips of water before leaving. A fisherman will never fly."

"Pfft~" Lin Shuwen laughed out loud after hearing this: "You started talking nonsense again. You must have made up this joke."

"Can I be so bored?"

"meeting!"

Luo Ming smiled and said, "Then let's experience it together?"

"The experience is okay. If you need some water later, just drink it yourself."

"Wenwen, please wait for me." After saying this, Luo Ming ran back home and took out his father's fishing gear.

The two of them came to the pond together and found an empty seat and sat down.

Luo Ming directly put the bait on the hook and then swung the rod.

The middle-aged man on the side shook his head, obviously feeling sorry for Luo Ming's extremely unprofessional posture.

"Young man, you can't do this. I discovered that fishing is really a university subject! It's not just a matter of holding a fishing rod and a set of top-notch equipment to succeed.

Fishing needs to consider many factors, such as weather, geography, humanities, wind direction, air pressure and other comprehensive conditions.

We have the most crucian carp in this area. To catch crucian carp, you need to use thin lines like me, or even thinner sub-lines, to make the float more sensitive.

Every detail is crucial, and if one mistake is made, all previous efforts may be wasted.”

Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, Lin Shuwen shouted excitedly: "A Ming, you bit the hook!"

Luo Ming also felt the pull from the fishing rod. He slowly reeled in the line and pulled the fish up.

"Wow! What a big crucian carp. This fish must weigh 3 or 4 pounds!"

"Well, I estimate it weighs 3 or 4 pounds."

The middle-aged man's expression had completely frozen.

"Damn, it's definitely a novice buff!" The middle-aged man comforted himself and continued to catch his own fish.

Then the middle-aged man's mentality collapsed. He worked hard to make a nest, but Luo Ming got an advantage.

Luo Ming caught four fish in an hour, and the biggest one was the first crucian carp.

Luo Ming released the next three small herrings, weighing more than half a catty, directly. The remaining two crucian carp, weighing about one catty, were given to the middle-aged man who had just given them to him.

The two of them went home carrying the big crucian carp that day.

Before I knew it, it was getting dark.

Lin Shuwen felt that time passed very quickly. She thought for a while and said: "It's so late in Luoming, how about staying here for one night?"

"Okay! There is a blanket in the car, just use it as a quilt."

"Then you go clean the room and I'll cook."

"it is good."

After the two divided the work, Luo Ming went to clean the room, while Lin Shuwen went to the kitchen.

Lin Shuwen had never used an earthen stove before. She followed Luo Ming's example and lit a fire on the stove.

Then Lin Shuwen carefully cleaned the crucian carp caught by Luo Ming and cleaned it many times, especially the black membrane and fishing line in the fish's belly.

All these parts must be washed, otherwise the earthy smell of crucian carp will be very strong.

After cleaning the fish, Luo Ming stamped two lines of flower knife on both sides of the fish to make it easier to taste.

Then Lin Shuwen cut the white radish that Luo Ming picked from the field into pieces and soaked them in hot water.

This step is also to remove the earthy smell of white radish.

Then, Lin Shuwen poured a little base oil into the iron pot, put in the crucian carp and fried it until both sides were slightly brown.

After the fish was fried, Lin Shuwen poured cooking wine along the edge of the pot to further remove the fishy smell of the fish soup.

Then add hot water, turn up the heat and cook for 5 minutes, then turn to low heat, add the ginger slices, and scallion sections and cook for another 30 minutes.

Finally, add the radish cubes, tofu, wolfberry, salt, and pepper and cook for another 5 minutes.

Luo Ming finished cleaning up the room and returned to the kitchen. As soon as he opened the door, Luo Ming smelled the rich aroma of fish soup.

"Has the room been tidied up?" Lin Shuwen asked while serving soup.

Luo Ming nodded.

"That's great, let's eat! Carp soup + cake."

Luo Ming smiled when he heard this. Today, when he and Lin Shuwen were in the old house, Luo Ming felt as if the two of them were married and living a married life.

"Why are you giggling!" Lin Shuwen said as she served Luo Ming a bowl of soup.

"I feel like the two of us feel like an old married couple."

"Who are you and your wife? Eat quickly and wash the dishes after you finish."
