Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 488 Making Bamboo Rice
Cheng He and the others all put on hard hats and plastic shoe covers on their feet, and formally entered the sightseeing box.

According to the engineer on the side, the highest vertical altitude of the cableway is more than 500 meters high, because there is a deep pool between the two mountains, which is very exciting to watch.

Cheng He is naturally not afraid of heights now. He has flown quietly for countless times, and this time it has no psychological impact at all.

He hugged Cheng Xinxin and sat calmly.

To be honest, he admired his daughter very much. She has a big heart. It seems that as long as her father hugs her, she will not be in danger. There is no fear in her eyes, just like being on flat ground.

Bai Qian claimed that she was not afraid of heights. This time, she felt that she had to admit defeat, because at some high altitudes, she still needed to hold Cheng He's arm.

She couldn't help but sigh, since there is a man by her side, it seems that she has become less courageous?

Sure enough, if you are too pampered, you will gradually lose your ability to live, and people will degenerate.This is true of both men and women.

Engineer Fu walked in front, introducing to Cheng He all the way, which scenic spots this ropeway will pass through, what are the special features, and so on.

It is said to be an inspection, but the engineers have actually checked themselves countless times. When they sat down, they didn't feel any problems, so they passed it.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the opposite side, took off their helmets and shoe covers, and walked out of the glass box.This is the peak of a peak in Xiaolian Mountain.

The area of ​​Xiaolian Mountain is not small, it governs about [-] peaks, there is a big lake named Taohua Lake, there are many mountain springs, waterfalls and streams, etc. The place where they are now staying is a relatively high place. Peak.

The scenery on the top of the mountain is so beautiful, everyone came out, and they were not in a hurry to go down the mountain. They first enjoyed the breeze on the top of the mountain and looked at the surrounding scenery.

Looking from here, the mountains in the distance are like smoke and fog, like a fairyland.The fog and the clouds in the sky are connected together, creating a chaotic, truly intoxicating atmosphere.

Some large white storks lingered in the area, chirping bursts, with a loud voice, which adorned the mountain with aura.

It seems that for so long, there have been only a few birds in Xiaolian Mountain, and it is a good thing that rare birds can be seen out of thin air.

Cheng He has been to Xiaolian Mountain many times, but he has never looked around the peak of this peak, and it feels quite fresh.

Bai Qian took a few deep breaths and said, "It's so beautiful here, the air feels sweet."

"Of course, have you seen that piece? The scent of that piece of fruit trees is sweet, and that's what you smell." Cheng He explained to her.

There are wild fruit trees, and the birds can stop when they come and have something to eat.This is an ecosystem.

Wang Zheng also sighed again and again: "This place is not bad, it's so beautiful! Xianxia movies can be shot here, it's so beautiful here."

It seems that he is also an occupational disease, and he keeps his three sentences in his old profession. When he looks at the scenery, he thinks of Xianxia movies.

In fact, it is true, as a director, it is inevitable to travel thousands of miles. He thinks that the scenery in Thailand is good, so he can shoot "Siam".
And decades ago, the scenery of Guilin was also rated as "the best in the world" because of a movie "Liu Sanjie".

If he goes to more places, it will only benefit his future works.

Cheng Xinxin followed the adults and said, "It's so beautiful, it's so beautiful here!"

Not long after, some birds were seen flying over and circling above them.It is still very early now, and the figures of these birds are dotted in the blue sky and clouds, obviously natural and graceful.

Most of these birds have never been seen before. Wang Zheng quickly took pictures with his mobile phone, and his assistant was also amazed.

Cheng He could guess, as long as Cheng Xinxin was here, more birds would come.Wang Zheng was so surprised at the moment, wouldn't he be more pleasantly surprised later?

After resting for a while, they began to walk down the mountain.

This time, I came to Xiaolian Mountain for vacation, so it's not a problem to waste time here all the time.

After descending the foot of the mountain, the closest place was Peach Blossom Lake, so they went there first.But it's just going down the mountain, stop and go all the way, it's almost noon.

Arriving at the Peach Blossom Lake, Wang Zheng really couldn't help sighing again. He murmured, "The environment here is really good! It's like a wetland in a nature reserve."

The area of ​​Peach Blossom Lake is not small. Along the circle of Peach Blossom Lake, it extends to the woods on the edge. There are various birds inhabiting, and the sound of thumping is really lively.

It's almost noon, and it's time to prepare lunch.Although Bai Qian and Cheng He now have snacks available at any time, meals should still be mainly meals.

Come out to play, you can't delay eating.

He first went nearby to find a few stones of about the same size, and prepared to bury the pot for cooking.

Wang Zheng was even more interesting. He directly asked him to set up camp here. He turned on the computer and said that he was going to start working.

Some screenwriters, or writers, will find a remote mountain far away from the crowd, and write quietly, thinking that they can write freely. Wang Zheng doesn't know if he belongs to this kind of person, anyway, his desire to create is very strong now.

There was only a rough idea in his mind about the movie about ALS, but now he suddenly had some inspiration, and he wanted to write it down quickly.

From the looks of it, he won't leave here for two days.His assistants can pretty much set up camp straight away.

Cheng He built the stove and set up the pot.

Cheng Xinxin pulled him and asked, "Dad, aren't we going to find Tuantuan?"

Cheng He said: "Yes, you are not hungry yet? Let's rest for a while and go after eating, shall we?"

This guy must have been eating snacks all the way, so he wasn't hungry and felt that he didn't need to cook first.It is estimated that she has not seen a giant panda for so long, and she is a little anxious.

But no matter how urgent you are, you have to eat lunch first.

When Cheng Xinxin heard this, she could only nod her head and say "OK".

She saw her father making a pot and knew that she was going to cook something, so she said obediently, "Dad, can I help you make wild vegetables?"

When Cheng He heard it, hey, the little guy is really different, he knows to take the initiative to find something to do!It seems that if you take her out more, she still knows what to think.

He said happily: "Okay, let's eat the wild vegetables that we were looking for today, shall we?"

For a child, we should encourage her to do more and not develop a lazy character.As for whether she can recognize wild vegetables and pick a few pieces back, it doesn't matter.

What matters is that she is willing to do it, and it becomes a habit for her.

Cheng Xinxin nodded, turned around and ran to pull Bai Qian: "Mom, let's find wild vegetables together, and I will teach you how to find wild vegetables."

The little guy has a serious tone.

Of course Bai Qian would not interrupt her interest and said, "Okay, let's go."

Cheng He hurriedly told her: "Be careful, don't fall."

Although the area by the lake here is relatively flat, he still couldn't help but explain it.

Seeing his busy figure, Bai Qian couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Got it, we're right here, we won't go far."

Not far away, there is a bamboo forest, which grows very well.Cheng He brought a machete and thought, how about making a bamboo tube meal for lunch today?

As soon as he thought of it, he did it immediately. He washed the rice first, then soaked it in water, washed some dried mushrooms and soaked it in the rice together, and then told Bai Qian to pay attention to safety and come by himself.

As a native of Peach Blossom Village, it's not a problem to cut a bamboo, so he came back soon with the bamboo on his back.

To make bamboo rice, you can't choose old bamboo, you can only choose Hsinchu.Bamboo that is less than two years old has a high water content, is resistant to burning, and has a strong flavor and tastes delicious. Therefore, bamboo that is more than two years old is generally not selected for bamboo rice.

Wang Zheng and the others brought food, nothing more than bread and milk.But when he looked up after work, he saw that Cheng He was building a stove and chopping bamboo, so he asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"

While cutting the bamboo into knots, Cheng He said, "Make rice in bamboo tubes."

Wang Zheng was quite surprised.

Making rice in bamboo tubes in the mountains, are they really here for vacation?Looking at myself, I was still working on a computer, and suddenly my whole body was in a bad mood.

Forget it, let's put the work aside.Wang Zheng's heart was tickled, and he wanted to come over to see how to make rice in bamboo tubes.

Cheng He cut the bamboo into knots according to the knots of the bamboo itself, leaving both ends to form a closed space.

When he chopped, he left a little bit, and kept a handle for each section, so that he could operate later.Seeing that Wang Zheng was also interested in this, he simply cut a few more pieces.

One cut for each person, plus Wang Zheng's assistant, four adults and one child, a total of five cuts.

The bamboo is very long, and there are still five pieces to spare.

After chopping, he drilled a hole at one end of the bamboo tube with the tip of a knife, and the rice will be put in from here later.

After chopping the bamboo, the rice that had been soaked before was almost ready. He also cut up some sausages and bacon that he had brought, and mixed them in the rice.

Wang Zheng was very interested in the whole process, so he helped with it.

His assistant probably saw this for the first time, and said curiously: "You even brought meat! It's dried mushrooms again, no wonder you carry such a big bag, and the meals in the wild are so particular!"

While busy, Cheng He said: "What is this? It's far away, and I don't bring everything completely. If it's closer, I'll bring some corn, some carrots, some peanuts, beans, etc., and put it in to make it more complete." , more fragrant."

It's too far away, and I can't carry many things on my back.

Bai Qian and Cheng Xinxin turned their hats upside down and came back with two hats full of weeds, and each of them took credit for it and said, "Look, we brought back so many wild vegetables."

Cheng He took a look, uh...

What are those!

Fortunately, she was already mentally prepared. Cheng Xinxin taught Bai Qian to look for wild vegetables. What kind of wild vegetables could she find?
In order not to dampen their enthusiasm, he said with a smile: "Good job, go to rest! Waiting for the bamboo rice."

"Okay." Cheng Xinxin replied loudly.

With the picnic that I participated in, the enthusiasm is about to burst, so happy!

She obediently sat on a big rock beside her, waiting for her meal.

Bai Qian took out a blanket from her bag and said, "Xinxin, get up quickly, don't sit naked on the rock."

It’s okay to sit like this in summer, but now that it’s autumn, it’s easy to catch cold while sitting on rocks.The blanket was intended to be covered at night, and now she took it out and sat on it for a while.

The stone is exposed to the sun every day, and there is no moss growing on it, so it will not be dirty.

After sitting for a while, she felt that there seemed to be more and more birds by the lake.

She has never seen the scenery of Peach Blossom Lake before, even when she just came here today, she felt that there were quite a lot of birds living around, and she thought it was like this before.

But now, as far as the birds around their square garden are concerned, there are obviously more birds.
