Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 11
Buying so many things at one time, and they were all large items, the supermarket directly sent a truck to follow Cheng He home.

Anyway, if you buy a large item, there is a home delivery service.Although Taohua Village is a bit far away and the road is not easy to walk, there are a lot of things to buy and the profit is enough, so the service will not be short.

Perhaps for the people in Taohua Village, Cheng He is truly "going home" today.The whole truck passed through the village road in a windy and dazzling way, and stopped directly in front of Cheng He's broken house.

The villagers speculated that this kid probably got rich and bought so many things.

It is extremely difficult for trucks to come in. The road is too narrow and difficult to use. Many places can be reached smoothly only by the good driving skills of old drivers.

Cheng He was a little embarrassed, and laughed at himself: "It's thanks to the good weather, otherwise the car would still be stuck on the road when it rains."

When they arrived at the door, they saw Cheng Shi playing with Napoleon.

I don't know what he did, but the kid had a plaster cast on his right arm. After asking, it was because he bumped into it when he went out in the morning, and the mountain road was not good.

The injury was treated at the medical point in the village.It's not serious, it's just a dislocation, and I need to rest for a few days.It's just that I can't drive and solicit customers now, and I have nothing else to do.

Fortunately, because it is the closest to Xiaolian Mountain, and worried that tourists might encounter danger, a temporary medical point was built for the village.

The nearby mountain villages are all poor, even with this little benefit, the surrounding villages are very envious.

Seeing Cheng He came back with a carload of new furniture, Cheng Shi was shocked and said: "My God, you bought these things back! Do you think you don't need money?"

Some idle villagers had nothing to do, so they came to Cheng He's courtyard to see what Cheng He had bought.Although it had nothing to do with them, they were discussing with great interest.

Refrigerator, 50-inch color TV, a large Simmons bed, a small one, and new bedding, tables and chairs. I don't know if the small broken courtyard can be furnished. It seems that it will cost a lot of money.

Generally, it is not waiting to get married, and no one buys it like this at all.

The truck driver also brought an installer to carry these things in and install them together.The dilapidated house immediately glowed with a different brilliance.

Some people whispered about it, basically saying that Cheng He was a good kid, even though he had lost his parents a long time ago, on his own, he was still doing well.The villagers recognized and accepted Cheng He by watching onlookers.

Cheng He also chatted with them politely, took out the cigarettes prepared today and distributed them, which was his first communication in the village after his return.

Seeing that there were quite a lot of people around the door, Cheng Shi ran home immediately, took out two big watermelons from the house, and cut them up for everyone to eat to cool off the heat.

Cheng Xinxin yelled excitedly: "What a big watermelon!" After eating it, most of her face turned red, and the juice flowed down the corner of her mouth.

The self-grown watermelon in the farm field is big, sweet, fragrant and juicy, much better than the ones on the market.

Cheng Shi looked at the bustling people in front of the courtyard, and said in a low voice: "I told you, if you have money, you should first think of a way to tidy up this dilapidated house, and then buy some new furniture when you come back, so you can look at it that way." Presentable."

Cheng He shook his head: "I don't think so. You say the whole house, I don't know when it will be done, but I always have to sleep every day. Even if you put up a tent, the bed should be more comfortable, right?"

Besides, it doesn't matter if you suffer yourself, but you can't let your children continue to suffer.

The truck driver and the installer finished installing a truckload of things, pointed to an extra 50-inch TV, and asked, "Where is this one installed?"

Cheng He said: "Oh, this one is carried to the one behind."

Cheng Shi was taken aback: The one behind?Isn't that your home?
Then I saw Cheng He and the installer carrying the TV to his house!
Cheng Shi followed behind and shouted: "Did you go the wrong way? Are you kidding me?"

Cheng He said: "What nonsense, that TV in your house should really be replaced. Let me tell you, if your arm is not still hanging, I still don't want to lift it for you! Lift it yourself! Get some wine later, I will Let's go to the kitchen and have a drink or two together."

Don't look at this dilapidated courtyard, if there is no brother Cheng Shi to help take care of it, it probably collapsed long ago.And when he came back, there was no tall weeds growing in the yard, and it wasn't because he helped shovel it, how could it be so good?

Cheng He didn't say these things, but he kept them in his heart.

Cheng Shi scratched his head and smiled: "Okay!" He didn't say anything else, there is a lot of love between brothers, so there is no need to say a lot.Anyway, he has nothing to say about what brother wants to help at that time.

Towards evening, all these things were arranged, and all the spectators left, and the small broken courtyard became quiet again.

Cheng He took out the fleece-flower root that he bought from the old man at the medicinal materials trading office today, cleaned a few, and had stewed chicken with fleece-flower root tonight.

This stuff is very expensive to sell wild, and it is also extremely nutritious. Not only can it make the hair black and shiny, but it can also nourish the waist and kidneys.

Nowadays, the pure wild ones can be said to be one less than one tree dug, so many of them in circulation in the world are planted, with a lot of poor nutrition and cheap prices.

But in Cheng He's opinion, this pile should be pure wild, because it is not big, but its texture is extremely deep. The difference, it goes without saying.

Today's chickens are raised by Cheng Shi's family. They were brought up in the mountains to eat small bugs.Although it can't be called pheasant, its taste and nutritional content are comparable to those of the chicken in the city, which is heaven and earth.

Cheng He once again demonstrated his mouth-watering kitchen magic skills. After the chicken was scalded with water, he put peanut oil in the pot and quickly fried it for a few times. Stir-fry the ingredients, then add the chopped Polygonum multiflorum into it and simmer slowly.

Stews are also very particular, especially chicken. After the fire is boiled, it must be hung on a low fire and simmered slowly, so that the meat flavor in the chicken can be slowly stewed and absorbed by Polygonum multiflorum; and the medicinal properties in Polygonum multiflorum are also Slowly simmered out, into the soup.

When the fire gets too hot, the soup will evaporate immediately, and all the nutrients will be lost, and it can't be rescued by adding water. This pot of soup is a waste of work.

As it was stewed slowly, a thick layer of chicken oil floated on the surface of the soup, but the chicken became more and more fragrant, and the unique aroma of the stewed Polygonum multiflorum also slowly came out, drifting slowly with the evening breeze, let The few people sitting in the yard waiting to eat swallowed.

"I said, Heizi, are you alright? I'm starving to death!" Cheng Shi yelled while sitting under the ginkgo tree.

Cheng Xinxin had already set up a chair and sat at the table waiting. Seeing Cheng Shi yelling, she reprimanded him in a big way: "Uncle, you are not a child. My father is still busy in the kitchen. It is very hard. You Not polite."

Cheng Shi was amused, he didn't expect this little girl to be a suit, he competed with the little girl, and said jokingly: "Who made your father cook so deliciously! Otherwise, let him go to my house, How about cooking for our family every day?"

"That's no good, he's my dad, not your dad. You ask your dad to cook for you!" Cheng Xinxin replied with a serious face, her pouting expression was adorable.

Cheng Shi found himself unable to answer the call.

Cheng He laughed loudly, brought out the chicken soup, and said, "You still want to tease her! Did you go in by yourself?"

Today's children have sharp teeth and sharp mouths, so don't dare to underestimate them.

Three bowls of chicken stewed with Polygonum multiflorum came out, and the fragrance wafted in the wind for a mile, and the green onion and coriander were dotted on it.

Cheng Shi swallowed, and said: "It's so delicious! I said Heizi, our family has also stewed this, why didn't it take so much trouble like you?"

Cheng He smiled: "Try it first."

The sauce-colored chicken is stewed crispy, with a layer of golden fat floating on it, which is full of dripping. When you take a bite, the soup overflows your mouth, which really makes people have endless aftertaste.

Cheng Xinxin exaggeratedly exclaimed, "It's delicious!"

Cheng Shi also said: "It's really delicious, you really can't brag about your skills."

Cheng He smiled: "It's very simple. If you want to learn, I can teach you. Today's ingredients are good, just pay more attention to the heat."

"Don't... I don't want to learn. It's really delicious. Why didn't I think that chicken is so delicious?" Cheng Shi shook his head, while violently dealing with the chicken nuggets in the bowl.

Cheng Xinxin sucked the oil from her fingers, and said like a little adult, "You're so lazy! You big slob."

Cheng He laughed.

Cheng Shi is fearless: "Yes, I am a big slob."

After the chicken pieces are all eaten, there is only soup left in the pot, which is full of nutrition from the chicken and Polygonum multiflorum, so it would be a pity to throw it away.

Cheng He cooked a few more bowls of clear noodle soup, stirred it with chicken broth, and everyone got another bowl of super nutritious and delicious chicken noodle soup.

There was a sound of breathing in the small yard.

The big yellow dog finished eating the imported dog food, but he was not feeling full at all.It has a long tongue, squats here, and throws a chicken bone at any time. This guy jumps up and grabs it, making Cheng Xinxin laugh out loud.

The sound of people, the sound of wind, the sound of insects, and the smell of fireworks in the small yard are all unique.
