Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 489

After Cheng He cut the eyes of the several pieces of bamboo tubes, he poured the soaked rice into them separately.Before filling, he also put some oil and salt seasoning into it.

Wang Zheng also helped, but his eyes were not big, so it was more difficult to pretend and took a bit of time.

While he was busy, Cheng He arranged for Wang Zheng's assistant: "Can you collect firewood? It's just around here, just pick it up and burn it later."

Gathering firewood is a completely unskilled job, the assistant heard it and hurried to it.

There are all kinds of forests around, and the dead branches are too easy to find. He quickly brought a lot back, and Cheng He and the others managed to fill the rice here.

As a result, Cheng He saw that the little assistant had probably never started a wildfire, and he didn't know how to find firewood, so he went to pick up some hay and came back.

He had built a stove with stones before, so he put away the dry wood and kindling, and lit it with a lighter.Dry grass is easy to catch fire. Basically, it will "canopy" the flames when it encounters sparks.

Cheng He thinks these things are very simple. He really doesn't understand that some people who are angry can make a big face, which is totally incomprehensible.

After the fire was lit, he put the bamboo tubes he had just made into the fire, and the ones he had reserved before would be useful now.

Although Hsinchu has a high moisture content, it cannot always be heated on the same side, and needs to be turned from time to time.If there is no such a long handle, there is really no way to roll over.

I was afraid that the rice and water would flow out of the drill's eyes, so I placed them sideways, with the end with the eyes facing up against the edge of the stone, and the bottom end facing the fire.

This is the outside, but there is no such thing as a stopper.If there is a stopper, you can put it wherever you want.

The bamboo was burning, and Cheng He told Wang Zheng to turn it over from time to time. He asked Wang Zheng to take care of these bamboo tubes, and he went to get some wild vegetables back.

In addition, go to the lake to kill a fish?

The wild vegetable soup alone tastes like nothing.But eggs are not easy to bring, and even wild vegetable soup with eggs can't be made.

Fortunately, for Cheng He, stabbing a fish is a trivial matter. He sharpened it with a bamboo pole with a thin finger. When he saw a fish, he struck at a super fast speed. Before the fish could react, Cheng He had already picked it up .

I got a fish, cut it up and cleaned it by the lake, and then got a hat of wild vegetables to bring back.

Anyway, he doesn't care about the variety now, as long as it is wild vegetables that can make soup, he will get some. There is no shortage of these things in the mountains, and it doesn't take time to make them.

After making it, wash it in the lake to wash off the sediment, and it will be ready for cooking in a while.

Get some wild vegetables, one is because the green plants contain vitamins, and the other is to cover the smell of fish.Although it is said that there are natural wild fish in the lake, Bai Qian is different now, and may be more sensitive to fishy smell.

In terms of caring for people, Cheng He thinks he has passed the test.

When he came back with the fish and wild vegetables, Wang Zheng was turning over the bamboo tube vigorously.He smiled while flipping through it: "It smells so good! The bamboo has a delicate fragrance, as well as the smell of mushrooms and sausages. This bamboo tube rice is really good."

Picnic is also so particular about ah!

Much more comfortable than the bread and milk they ate just now.

Wang Zheng looked at the bamboo tube while flipping through it, and now he felt that Hsinchu was really needed.Hsinchu has a lot of water content, and now it is heated, water vapor is coming out from both ends, and the fragrance of Hsinchu is in the water vapor.

Cheng He looked at the progress of the bamboo tube being burned, and felt that it would take a while, just to give him time to cook a fish soup.

Cheng Xinxin sat and waited, and played a small game with Bai Qian for a while, feeling that the waiting time was so long.

She came over, lay on Cheng He's back, clung to him like a frog, and asked, "Dad, how long do you have to eat? I'm hungry."

Cheng He turned the fish in the pot and asked her, "Are you hungry?"

Little guy, I wanted to go play with Tuantuan just now, but now I'm hungry.She is not hungry, she smells the fragrance but can't eat it, she is hungry.

"Yeah, I'm hungry." Cheng Xinxin leaned on his back and nodded.

"Okay, okay, okay, alas, my girl is hungry, the meal is not ready yet, dad needs to cheer up! Come on, you can add oil to dad." Cheng He said while turning the pot.

Looking at the little guy lying on his back, Wang Zheng couldn't help smiling.

Such a big child, and a girl, is the most painful.

Cheng Xinxin lay on her father's back, she didn't move at all, she just moved her mouth and said, "Come on, Dad! Come on, Dad!"

"Okay, come on. The fish is almost ready, do you want to try it? See if it's light or salty." Cheng He asked.

He knew perfectly well that the child could not taste anything, just to tease her.

Cheng Xinxin slid off his back nimbly, and ran forward, ready to taste the soup.

Cheng He said: "Slow down, be careful of burning, stay away from the stove."

He blew on the soup, put it to his mouth for a try, and put it to Cheng Xinxin's mouth if it didn't burn his mouth.

The little girl opened her mouth to drink, tasted it decently, and then grinned.

Cheng He asked her: "How is it? Is it salty, light or not?"

Cheng Xinxin giggled and said, "I don't know, my tongue is numb, I don't know if it's salty or not."

I knew I couldn't rely on her!
Cheng He tasted it himself, and it felt pretty good.The condiments are prepared by himself and brought out, which are not much worse than those at home, so the soup tastes good.

Over there, the rice in bamboo tubes is also ready, the green Hsinchu has been burnt black, and it will burn if it is burned again.

Cheng Herang took out these bamboo tubes first, and scraped the burnt black outside with unnecessary bamboo slices, so as not to get ash everywhere when the bamboo was broken.

Anyway, it was close to the lake. After scraping off the ash, they took the bamboo tube to the lake and washed it, so as not to burn their hands while eating it.

When the hatchet split the bamboo tube, the rich fragrance came out immediately, it was really very fragrant.

Stewed rice with mushrooms and sausages will have a fragrance, but this fragrance combined with the unique fragrance of Hsinchu is really wonderful.

Even Cheng Xinxin laughed when he heard it.

She felt that her father seemed to have magic, and the meals he cooked were very strange.

The bamboo is broken into two sides, and you can eat with it.If you are afraid of being hot, just take a few leaves in your hand and put them up.

After eating hot rice and the fish soup here, everyone is happy to eat and drink.

While eating, Wang Zheng said, "The taste of this meal is really good, and it's very comfortable to eat. I really didn't come in vain."

It seems that many people have that feeling. Eating outside feels extra delicious.

Cheng He said: "It's too far away. If it's close, bring a bottle of wine. Just chill the wine in the water when cooking, and drink a little now. That's comfortable."

Once you bring too many things, it is not easy to bring wine.But if you really bring wine, it should be good.

Wang Zheng said: "That's good, that's enough. I have rice in bamboo tubes and fish soup. I'm very satisfied. I don't have such high requirements as you."

He has started to tease Cheng He now.

Each person had a bamboo tube rice and a pot of fish soup. They all sat there with a full stomach and didn't want to move.

Cheng Xinxin ran back and forth clutching her stomach, and said, "Dad, I ate too much just now, and I'm a bit full. It would be better if I ate less."

Well, when she was eating just now, she didn't mean to stop.

Cheng He said: "Okay, if you are full, then run for a while, and you will not be full after running."

Cheng Xinxin ran around him and Bai Qian.

Wang Zheng sat resting on the spot and looked far away. There was a lotus leaf in the shallow water area near the lake, extending to the lake on the horizon, surrounded by birds inhabiting comfortably. He laughed at himself: "In such an environment, I am still full of thoughts It's all work, I'm such a workaholic!"

Cheng He pointed to the lotus leaves in the shallow water area and said, "That was contracted by Cheng Shi's family."

It is now past the most prosperous season of lotus, but some sporadic flowers can still be seen.

The lotus leaves are all huge now, no longer the appearance of "little lotus just showing its sharp corners". After a while, the lotus leaves will wither and the lotus roots will be harvested.

When the lotus has withered, there will be lotus pods. Just look carefully, there are many lotus pods between the lotus leaves, which are ready to be eaten at this time.Anyway, idle is idle, why don't you get some?

Having said that, Wang Zheng also became interested. Anyway, he is not in the mood to work, so let's have a good time.

Maybe the brain is relaxed, and the work efficiency will be higher for a while.

He asked worriedly: "Then shall we go into the water to pick lotus pods?"

It’s already autumn at this time, and it’s easy to get sick if you go into the water now, right?
Cheng He said: "No need to go into the water, there is a boat next to it, I know it."

Cheng Xinxin chirped and said, "Dad, we've eaten water chestnuts here before. Isn't that right?"

Cheng He was taken aback. This happened last year. I didn't expect the little guy to remember it!
Wen Xue, brother and sister, and Zhao Si came together last year, and brought back some lotus root and water chestnut that day.Sure enough, foodies remember to eat.

If you bring her to do something else, she probably won't remember.

Cheng He said: "That's right, you're right, I came here to eat water chestnuts."

Cheng Xinxin smiled happily as if she had been praised.

Bai Qian hurriedly asked, "When did it happen? Why don't I know."

Cheng Xinxin told her: "Mom, it's when you haven't come back yet. Let's go, I'll take you there."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his little hand to hold Bai Qian's hand.

If you want to walk over, you need to clean up here, at least the fire that was burned before must be extinguished first, so as not to leave a safety hazard, and the things you brought must be cleaned up.

Cheng He fetched a basin of water, extinguished the charcoal in the stove, and said: "Oh, if you bring sweet potatoes or potatoes, peanuts are also fine, put them in this fire and roast them, they will be delicious! "

Bai Qian smiled and said, "Are you not full just now?"

Cheng Xinxin immediately said loudly, "Mom, I'm full. I'm very full. Today's meal is delicious."

Well, rice cooked in bamboo tubes is so novel, so she even thought it was delicious.

Wang Zheng suddenly said, "Hey, did I have two uneaten bread here just now?"

He was eating bread and drinking milk before, but when he saw Cheng He was about to make bamboo rice, he stopped, so he put two breads aside.

It's gone now.

He looked at the assistant, who shook his head blankly.The boss's lunch, why should he move?

Wang Zheng looked around again, and said, "It's strange, it's impossible to disappear out of thin air!"

It's not that I feel sorry for the missing bread, but that it feels weird!They ate here just now, but the bread next to them disappeared. Isn't this evil?

Cheng He was also suspicious. When he just poured the water, he was still thinking about it. The fish head that he threw away earlier seemed to have disappeared.

I didn't pay attention to it at first, but now it's a bit unusual to look at the two things together.

He looked around, but saw nothing unusual.
