Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 69 Changes in the Yard
Su Nana made phone calls outside for more than half an hour before rushing in with her mobile phone happily and said, "It's all clear, this dandelion needs to be picked off, washed with clean water, soaked in boiling water, and scalded in a pot of boiling water. Be careful Well, if the time is too long, the leaves will be boiled, and there is no way to eat them. If the time is short, the green smell will not be removed, and it will be bitter and astringent, making it difficult to swallow."

She is a little proud: her memory is pretty good, after the mother finished talking about Dandelion's precautions, she also explained that she should be careful outside and take good care of her little niece, and she didn't forget the steps after so long.

As we were talking, Professor Zhao came over to pick up eggs, and just happened to listen to them discussing the matter of making dandelion dumplings. It felt very fresh, and he said that he would go to the ground to dig some tomorrow.So Liu Junhao suggested not to let Teacher Wang cook at noon, but to come directly to help.Professor Zhao saw that they made half a bamboo basket of dandelions, so he didn't refuse, and called his wife over to help through the courtyard wall.

Five people plus a little girl who can only make trouble are busy. Although Mr. Wang has never used dandelion to make dumpling stuffing, but he has been making rice for decades, and he knows how to make it as soon as he hears it.

She first scalded the washed dandelions in a pot of boiling water, scooped them up with a strainer, squeezed out the water and chopped them up.

Then beat a dozen or so eggs and fry them in a pan, sprinkle with some sesame seeds, then put in some small dried shrimps from Liu Junhao’s New Year’s Eve, and stir well with shallots, ginger, garlic, oil, salt, etc...

Although it's not ready yet, just looking at the golden eggs and the tender green dandelions will whet your appetite.

Taking advantage of the adult's inattention, the chopsticks had already reached into the basin, but fortunately Su Nana had quick eyesight and quick hands, and pulled her over.Tell her it's raw and can't be eaten, so the little girl gives up.

Several adults went to make dumplings together, and now Su Nana blushed again.She seldom did anything at home, and it was the first time she saw Fangye dumplings, so she made a dumpling for a long time before it was wrapped, and finally even the little girl shaved her face and said, "Auntie is so stupid."

"Go and boil the water, and cook the dumplings later." Seeing that she was in a difficult situation, Liu Junhao opened his mouth to make a relief.

But soon there was thick smoke billowing in the kitchen, and even the main room became smoky. Several people ran out in panic, only to see Su Nana standing in the courtyard, holding on to the jujube tree and coughing, choking. Even the tears flowed down.

Liu Junhao hurriedly got into the kitchen to have a look, and was shocked: Fortunately, he came out early, and I'm afraid she will set her kitchen on fire in a while.

The poplar leaves filled the pots and stoves, and a lot of sparks fell from the ground. Fortunately, she used half-dried poplar leaves, which did not cause a fire.

After such tossing once, Liu Junhao didn't dare to let her light the fire again, and assigned her a job that a little girl could do - peeling off the dumpling wrapper.

After working for almost an hour, the hot dumplings finally came out of the pan. After cooking in boiling water, the fragrance of onion and garlic wafted all over the yard.After they all went out with their bowls, Liu Junhao filled a bowl of dumplings and sat down at the table.

First there was a faint bitter taste, and then there was a mouthful of tenderness and fragrance. It seemed to taste pretty good, but it didn't seem to be as delicious as Su Nana described.

But he just ate five here, but the girl stretched out the bowl and shouted: "Give me rice!"

Liu Junhao was taken aback, he ate it faster than himself, and he was not afraid of being scalded, it was really so delicious?
Zhang Qian also bluntly said that it was better than his mother's cooking, and the chopsticks caught one after another.

Nannan ate three small bowls in a row, but Su Nana hurriedly stopped her when she wanted to eat, fearing that she would be full.

This little girl couldn't rest at all, put down the bowl and hugged Qiuqiu to go out to play, Su Nana repeatedly explained that she could only play in the yard.

But Nannan pushed open the fence gate in the backyard and put Qiuqiu into the ditch.Now those rice field eels have suffered, and they have nowhere to escape.

"This yard is really beautiful. It would be great if I also had such a yard..." Su Nana moved a stool and sat under the tree, stretched her waist slightly comfortably and said, this kind of leisurely and comfortable Her life made her a little bit reluctant to leave.

It's the beginning of spring now, the afternoon sun is particularly soft, and I just had a meal, people look very lazy and comfortable.

Xiaopi was also lying not far away with half-closed eyes at the moment, and even the provocative hen under his nose didn't bother to pay attention, but made a low whining sound from his mouth.Who knew that the hen would get even worse when she saw that it ignored it, pecking at the food sticking to its nose bang bang.

This made Xiaopi furious, barking and driving all the hens out of the yard.

"Hehe, you can come here often on Sundays if you want to come in the future." Professor Zhao took a sip from the teacup and tasted it carefully.

"Extreme Maojian, is it bitter?"

"It's a bit...don't mention it to me anymore" Professor Zhao became a little annoyed just after half of the answer, and he wanted to grit his teeth thinking of Liu Junhao's waste of tea.

Teacher Wang also knew the allusion here, she pursed her lips and looked at her husband with a chuckle, her face was full of tranquility and serenity.

Looking at the couple's appearance, Zhang Qian suddenly felt a little envious. Maybe at their age, love has become a common thing.

They were talking in front of them, but they saw the girl rushing out from the backyard. The plaid clothes, which were brand new just now, were dirty. She held the skirts in both hands and shouted excitedly: "Guess I found it in the back!" What?"

"How did I explain, I just let you play for a while, and then I got dirty again." Su Nana stepped forward to pull her, but she suddenly pointed to something in her lapel in surprise and said, "This is a snail. ... so big?"

"My aunt is very stupid, this is a snail, look..." She ran to the front of the stone slab, shook the skirt of her clothes, and seven or eight snails the size of small eggs fell down with a crackling sound.

"It's so big..." Liu Junhao was also a little dumbfounded. Did he find it from his backyard?It's too big, it's a bit outrageous.At first glance, this snail is no different from others, but the shell is obviously thinner than that of common grass snails, and it is slightly transparent when facing the sun.

Liu Junhao has lived in Liujiagou since he was a child. There are such grass snails in the fields. When it rains, they all climb to the trees to take refuge. Sometimes there can be [-] or [-] on a tree trunk.But although he has never seen such a big one, it must have grown so big by eating the vegetables in his own yard.

Not only him, almost everyone was a little surprised, and they all stretched out their hands to take a closer look.

"I want to eat snails, I want to eat snails" The little girl here has already started to cry, why does she just remember to eat?
"Why is this snail so big? Where did you find it?" Professor Zhao was also curious.

"At the bottom of the wall in the backyard, Qiuqiu took me to find it. There are so many more."

So one by one followed the little girl to the backyard, and after they searched carefully, they found quite a few under the roots of the grass and trees, some big and some small, but none of them were as big as the little girl found. gone.

"What's the matter with the fairy spirit in your yard? Everything is better than other people's homes." Su Nana's casual sentence made Liu Junhao startled.

Seeing that she was just saying something unintentionally, Liu Junhao felt relieved, and secretly wondered whether he should change the spring water in the ditch less often in the future, otherwise people would definitely notice the weirdness in the yard after a long time.

But after thinking about it, he was relieved. He didn't steal it, and he didn't rob it. There's nothing to be afraid of.Besides, even if he told about Shi Suo, people would think that he had a fever and his brain was burnt out, and he was talking nonsense.
