Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 168 Black Tomato

Jiang Yutong smelled the aroma in the kitchen, and asked again: "It smells so good, what are you cooking?"

Cheng He thought of the kitchen, and it was too late for a detailed chat at this time, and said: "Then you can sit anywhere by yourself, I'll go to the kitchen. Let's have dinner together later."

Don't burn it for a while.

Jiang Yutong looked at Cheng He's busy figure and said with a smile, "Go and do your work. I heard that you have built a house, so I just came to see it."

Cheng Xinxin ate the candy she gave her. After thinking about it, she hadn't finished eating the pomegranate in front of her, so she picked it up generously and handed it to her: "Sister, you eat."

Jiang Yutong was very surprised, she remembered that this little girl was very protective of food!
She couldn't help asking again: "Is it really for me?"

She tried to reach out to pick it up, to see if the little girl had really become generous, or was she still teasing her.Who knew that the little girl really handed her half a pomegranate.

In fact, she didn't expect that the little girl had already eaten two pomegranates in the past half a day, and she was already tired of eating them now.

If you don't want to eat something, you won't protect it anymore.

Jiang Yutong accepted the little girl's overture very unexpectedly.

Fortunately, pomegranates are not like oranges and pears, and they will saliva if you chew them with your mouth.

The little girl ate pomegranates, picked one by one, not dirty, so Jiang Yutong didn't dislike it, picked it up and ate it.

The wild pomegranate tree in the back mountain is a purely natural fruit, without artificial fertilizers, artificial pesticides or waxing, and you can smell the natural fragrance when you eat it.

It is much more delicious than the pomegranate juice and pomegranate-flavored drinks you bought.And absolutely no additives, absolutely rest assured fruit.

"Sweet," she said.

Cheng Xinxin sucked on the candy, hugged the little goose like a treasure, and said, "Sister, this is Jiujiu."

Jiang Yutong thought it was a duck, and said, "This duck is so fat."

Cheng Xinxin shook her head and said, "Sister, it's not a duck, it's a wild goose."

"Big geese? How did your family get wild geese?" Jiang Yutong was too surprised.

Someone actually held the wild goose in his hands like this, and the wild goose was obediently obedient, I couldn't imagine it at all.

Cheng Xinxin said, "It's an egg I picked up, and Dad hatched it."

"Your father still hatches eggs?"

Cheng Xinxin nodded.

Cheng He finished serving the dishes and was serving them in the living room. When he heard it halfway, he was a little dumbfounded and said, "Don't listen to the little girl's nonsense. I didn't hatch it, but I hatched it with a hot water bottle."

Jiang Yutong laughed. There was no ambiguity at first, but now that he explained it like this, he found it even more funny.

While Cheng He was busy serving the dishes, he told the child: "Xinxin, bring my sister in for dinner, okay?"

"it is good."

Cheng Xinxin stood up, walked in front of Jiang Yutong, took her hand, and said to take her into the main room.

The architectural styles in this area are all like this. There is no real dining room. Generally speaking, or guests come to eat in the main room.

I'm usually too lazy to be so formal, so I just eat in the kitchen.

Anyway, the kitchen area is also very large. In addition to the stove, there is also half of the reserved dining table.

There are guests today, so I brought all the dishes to the main room.

Jiang Yutong was led by Cheng Xinxin, and her hand was held by a small hand, which felt strange and cute, like the paw of a kitten.

She said: "I'm so sorry, I ran into your family's dinner when I came here. I knew I would come later."

Cheng He said: "It's okay. You wouldn't say sorry before."

She used to be at Cheng He's house, but she ate there many times.Can catch up with the meal almost every time.

Jiang Yutong was a little embarrassed.But come and go, it seems hypocritical to leave.

After entering the main room, she couldn't help being amazed again.

After the mountain village has been transformed, it turns out to be such a beauty!
The original mountain village style architecture, with the addition of some designer's personal style, presents a truly unique aesthetic.

So beautiful.

Cheng He set out the dishes, added three more bowls of rice, and said, "Miss Jiang, welcome to taste!"

Stewed pheasant with mushrooms, cold black tomatoes, fried okra, and a large glass of carrot and corn juice.

Pure natural vegetable juice is suitable for Jiang Yutong, who loves beauty, and also allows Cheng Xinxin, who doesn't like carrots, to absorb more vitamins.

Jiang Yutong looked at the big glass of fresh drink and exclaimed, "You are really omnipotent!"

Cheng He smiled immodestly: "Of course."

A large glass of carrot and corn juice can be divided into several glasses, and everyone pours a glass in front of them, and there is still half of it left.

Jiang Yutong picked up the cup, took a deep sniff, and said, "This is the natural life."

After tasting it, the fragrance of corn makes her feel like she is in a cornfield, the taste is so pure.

"It's so good. If it's wine, I 'hope I'm never sober'," she said.

Cheng He said with a smile: "I'll get you a bottle of peach wine later, you can go back and get drunk."

Cheng Xinxin often drinks carrot and corn juice, and has never praised how delicious it is. Seeing Jiang Yutong say this today, she also learned to smack her lips and said, "It's really delicious."

Cheng He smiled and said: "Drink it quickly if it tastes good, don't finish it. It's good to eat after drinking."

"Okay." Cheng Xinxin obediently agreed, gulping down the vegetable juice in the glass.

After finishing the vegetable juice, I began to eat more food.

The fat of the pheasant is very thick and floats on the surface of the soup, which can completely cover the heat in the soup.

Sometimes when I see the chicken soup is not steaming, I think this bowl of dish is cold, and then put a piece of it in my mouth, it is easy to burn my mouth.

It is necessary to pull off the layer of chicken oil on the surface first, then you can see the heat coming out.

The taste of pheasant chicken is very different from that of farmed chicken, and the meat quality and umami taste are several grades worse.

Jiang Yutong took a sip and said, "It's really fresh!"

Cheng He picked up a piece of chicken for Cheng Xinxin, and then asked Jiang Yutong, "How is your grandfather now? Is he in good health?"

The last time Jiang Qian called Cheng He and said that he wanted to build an art learning center, he didn't come over in person, but asked someone to pay a sum of money to build the art center.

If he doesn't come here, he can rest assured that the architect who undertook the construction is Lu Wenpeng, and he has paid for it for many years, so there is nothing to worry about in terms of money.

In fact, Cheng He has always admired Jiang Qian's character. He can take the development of bamboo weaving in Taohua Village and the cross-border combination of bamboo weaving and wood carving very seriously, and he can make an exception for these commercial promotions;

However, it is also possible to call over millions of dollars in remuneration just like this, and just say that it is enough to build an art learning center, without worrying about the money or the progress of the construction.

He is so old that he doesn't have to do everything by himself, and he admires this freedom and ease.

Jiang Yutong tasted another piece of mushroom and said, "My grandpa is in good health and happy all day long. Well, this mushroom is really delicious."

Speaking of grandpa, today's purpose of coming finally got to the point. She said, "Didn't my grandpa say that some kind of art center was built in Taohua Village? His apprentices are eager to come, so let me bring them here first." .I know the way."

Cheng He was taken aback, and immediately asked: "Then you mean, the apprentices of old artist Jiang are here? Where are they now? Have you eaten yet?"

Jiang Qian's apprentice, he must be treated well.

Jiang Yutong smiled and said: "Are you exaggerating too much? My grandfather's apprentices are still students, so you don't have to be so polite! I arranged for them to stay in the farmhouse, and they should be eating at the farmhouse now."

If she didn't come, she must have eaten with them.

When she was at the farmhouse, she also came first because she heard others talk about how beautiful Cheng He's house was.

Cheng He thought again, the art learning center has not been built yet, and Jiang Qian's apprentices came so early, so they have to live in the farmhouse all the time?

It seems that Lu Wenpeng should be urged to speed up his engineering team.

Jiang Yutong said: "You don't have to worry, they just come to see it for a few days, and come back after the art learning center is really built."

Come and have a look for a few days first. After you have a deep understanding of the bamboo weaving in Taohua Village, you still have to go back to school first.

Jiang Qian is the honorary president of the university, and because of his outstanding achievements in art, many students hope to worship him as a teacher every year.

However, for an art such as woodcarving, the focus is not on the master, but on the long-term practice of the apprentice himself.

No matter how good the master is, he has taught the apprentice all the skills, but it is impossible for the apprentice to achieve anything after only practicing for a year or so.

A real good craftsman can only achieve a little achievement after at least ten years of hard training.Some people have practiced hard for half a lifetime before they dare to say that they have first glimpsed the secret.

Many people are apprentices, but they can't stand such long-term hard training, so they give up halfway.

Every year, Jiang Qian selects some students as apprentices, but so far, there are not many successful students.It made him very depressed.

The other famous teachers are all proud of having peaches and plums all over the world, and he will never see that day.

Up to now, he doesn't force it anymore. He hopes that there will be one or two in this year's batch who are really willing to devote themselves to art.

If they want to come, let them come first.

Jiang Yutong was going to Xiaolian Mountain by the way, so he acted as a guide once.

The purpose of coming to Peach Blossom Village this time has been clearly stated, Jiang Yutong is looking at the next dish.

She asked, "This...is a tomato?"

Tomatoes are tomatoes, but the color is purple and black, so she asked.

This is the self-grown vegetable that Cheng He is going to try today.

black tomatoes.

Cheng He said: "Yes, this is a tomato, eat it. I heard it is delicious, and the nutrition is better than ordinary ones."

Jiang Yutong looked pleasantly surprised, and said, "I actually saw the legendary black tomato!"

For this kind of cold black tomatoes, Cheng He just washed them, cut them into pieces, and sprinkled some sugar on them.

Although I haven't eaten it before, there was such a cold tomato sauce before, so Cheng He did it that way.

When the tomato meets sugar, it will soften slightly, and the tomato juice will be marinated a little, which tastes very flavorful.Moreover, the pickled juice is very sweet, and the little girl likes to drink it very much.

Jiang Yutong picked up a piece, ate it into his mouth, and immediately exclaimed: "Oh my God, it's so sweet and delicious!"

Cheng Xinxin looked up at her to eat, swallowed as well, and murmured, "I want to eat too!"

Cheng He quickly took a piece for his daughter.

I was also worried that she would not try this kind of dark-looking thing, but Jiang Yutong's eating like this aroused her appetite, which is very good.
