Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 60 Braised Wild Eel
Cheng He, Cheng Shi, father and son each carried a load of lotus roots and walked back.

In order to prevent the lotus root strips from changing color, their burdens are filled with water to soak the lotus root strips.This increases the weight of the burden.

But in order to get a good price, even if it is heavier, they have to carry it.

The mountain road cannot be opened to traffic, and it can only be carried by walking.

Jiang Yutong sighed in his heart, in order to keep the dishes fresh, they paid too much.If the price is calculated according to labor, I really don't know where the price will go.

As she was walking, the phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Li Tao calling.This kid didn't see her for a long time, so he was already anxious.

Jiang Yutong pressed the answer leisurely: "Li Tao, what's the matter?"

"Yu Tong, how are you doing now? Is it safe? I'll pick you up! I called you just now, but I didn't get through for a long time. What's the matter? Is there anyone in trouble for you?" Li Tao seemed to be in a hurry. ask a question.

Jiang Yutong was taken aback, didn't answer the phone?

She thought for a while and replied, "Oh... Maybe there was no signal over there just now. I'm fine. Why are you so nervous?"

"No signal? Where have you been? Yutong, you should know that this is a big mountain, and no one can guarantee the safety. If anything happens, even if it takes so long to call the police, how do you want me to report to Jiang's family?" Tell me..."

Li Tao was still very anxious.

Jiang Yutong waited for him to finish, then smiled and said: "Old man, I am 24 years old, not four years old, why are you so worried about me? Don't I know what I am going to do? Besides, don't worry, even if I If something happens, the Jiang family will not ask you to explain it."

She was talking on the phone, and her walk slowed down.

Cheng He, who was behind her, passed by carrying a load, glanced at her, and said, "What's on your face?"

"My face?" Jiang Yutong asked back, then raised his hand to touch his face.

She has no makeup every day, and she is not afraid of applying makeup, so she has no scruples when touching it. This touch is good, originally there was only a small lump of mud, but now it has turned into a big painted face.

"Hahaha..." Cheng He laughed.

Jiang Yutong was still wondering: "What the hell is it?"

"Look for the beach yourself." Cheng He replied in front.

Jiang Yutong looked at the blacked-out mobile phone screen, saw his big face, and exclaimed: "Oh my God...how could this be! My God..."

This is probably because when I first saw the lotus root belt, I picked it up to play out of curiosity, and rubbed it on my face.

She found a tissue from her bag, wet it slightly in the ditch not far away, and washed her face.

After washing her face, she suddenly remembered that the phone was still on!
He quickly put the phone to his ear again and said, "Hey, are you still there?"

"Yes, I've always been here." Li Tao's voice was depressing, and he didn't know what was wrong.

Jiang Yutong didn't care, and said, "Then do you have anything else to do?"

"Yes, I want to ask you, what do you want for lunch, I will order it for you first." Li Tao said.

"No, I won't go back to eat, you can eat by yourself." Jiang Yutong replied.

It was agreed early today that everyone was having dinner at Cheng Shi's house. She had been coveting the lotus root all morning, how could she miss it?

Li Tao hung up the phone depressed.

Thinking of the phone call just now, Jiang Yutong and that stinky farmer had such a happy conversation that they even forgot to talk on the phone!
What are they talking about?
When have they been this close?

Li Tao's hand holding the phone was trembling. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, and smashed his newly bought Vito mobile phone to the ground.

He really wanted to kill that mountain villager!
……

Cheng He and his party came to Cheng Shi's house with a load, and several people hurriedly replaced the water in the load with fresh well water for soaking.

Then I chose the thickest one and prepared for today's Chinese food.

After washing the lotus root in clean water, it is especially delicate and white. It looks crystal clear and will break when touched lightly. It is very crisp and tender.

Cheng Shi's mother was cutting bamboo strips at home. When she saw everyone coming back, she stopped what she was doing and hurried over to help.

After re-soaking the lotus root strips, put them in a cool place.

Next, when preparing for lunch, Cheng Shima told Cheng He that while washing vegetables in the yard, she was embarrassed to finish the order he received online for the fourteen dragon lanterns by herself, so she called in some craftsmen from the village. good people together.

Cheng He's price on the Internet is 288 a piece, which is so much money to make one. She is embarrassed to take it all by herself, and wants everyone to make a fortune together.

Naturally, Cheng He would not object, but he just emphasized again that it must be well-made and of good quality, otherwise there will be no next business.

In fact, he was also very moved.There are only a dozen or so dragon lanterns in total, and thousands of dollars. People in the village are ashamed to eat alone for such a small fortune.Really good.

He felt that he should write this story on Longdeng's webpage, so as to infect people who browse the website.

He really hopes that the bamboo weaving craft will open up a market, so that more people will like it and buy it, and Taohua Village will have another way to make a living.

Cheng Shi's mother cooks in person. Today's dish is a hot and sour lotus root, a fish just caught in the lotus lake, a wild eel, a chicken, and a green asparagus.

Yesterday Cheng Shi saw that Jiang Yutong likes to eat green asparagus, and today he pulled it back quickly.

He was the happiest when the beautiful woman visited his house today, and he didn't even feel tired after carrying all the burdens back.

It's just that this guy just sneaked up to Jiang Yutong's side just now, mustered up the courage to start a conversation, his mother called him: "Honestly, come and help me kill this eel."

He pursed his lips, barking early or late, alas...

Cheng Shi complained in his heart: Mom, if you continue like this, you will lose your daughter-in-law!

But my mother never dared to kill these things, so he really had to.

The two wild eels were obtained two days ago, and they have been kept in jars, planning to eat them when guests come to the house.

Jiang Yutong was a distinguished guest, so he had to take it out.

Cheng He secretly told Cheng Shi's mother that this girl bought ten dragon lanterns by herself.Cheng Shi's mother thought she liked dragon lantern craftsmanship so much, she bought it as a gift to all her relatives and friends, and she was so happy from ear to ear.

Having received money and being appreciated for your craftsmanship, what else can compare to such happiness?

Therefore, Jiang Yutong is a distinguished guest at home, so the two wild eels will naturally be brought out.

After so many days of raising, the mud of the eel is almost vomited.

Two wild rice eels are big and fat enough, each weighs more than a catty. Once they are cut, there will be a large plate. Add wild rice stems as a base to make a plate of braised rice eels.

The method is also very simple.

First cut the green onion into sections, the carrot hob into pieces, the ginger into slices, and the sectioned rice field eel with a knife on the back, and then cut into sections.

Pour an appropriate amount of water into the pot. When the water boils, pour in an appropriate amount of cooking wine, blanch the eel segments, take them out and run them in cold water to ensure that the eel meat is crisp and tender.

Next, put oil in the pot, add sliced ​​ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, then pour in eel segments and stir-fry for a while, then add wild rice stems and green onion segments, pour in an appropriate amount of soy sauce, add two spoons of sugar, stir-fry, and adjust the color seasoning.

Then pour in an appropriate amount of cooking wine, pour in water, it is appropriate to be even with the eel section, add spices, cover the pot, bring to a boil on high heat, turn to low heat and simmer for 10 minutes, until the soup dries up, then take it out of the pot and put it on a plate.

It really is the fragrance of wild rice stems and the tenderness of rice field eels, which are mouth-watering.

The wild rice stems were also pulled back by the lake today. There are a lot of wild ones.Very fresh and tender.

Authentic wild eel, braised in soy sauce.Bright and mouth-watering.
