Hard work

Chapter 189 Pigeon [Second Update]

Zang Lang is really suitable to be a hunter. Before it was dark, he had already come home, and there were several pigeons that had passed out with their feet tied in the back basket.

Lan Hua'er picked up those pigeons and looked at them, and found that they were all still alive, but two of their wings had been broken, and they probably died soon.The rest of them just fainted. It is estimated that if they are given some corn seeds and water, they can live for a while. I don't know how Zang Lang caught these wild pigeons.

Although it is a wild pigeon, it is still quite beautiful. Although it is not as bright and solid as the feathers of modern ornamental pigeons, the gray-blue feathers look much better than sparrows.Orchid couldn't help but want to keep these wild pigeons to raise.

But she is a village girl now, and the first thing she needs to solve is the food and clothing problem at home—although there is no shortage of food and drink at home, she still has to earn money for her younger brother to go to school, and she has no spare time to raise pigeons.When she is old and has no strength to work, maybe she will raise a few birds for fun.

Now, these pigeons are still more suitable for eating.

Lan Huaer's sunflower water was already clean. That night, she asked Zang Lang to slaughter the two injured pigeons. According to the prescription given by Yang Langzhong, one of them stuffed the medicinal materials into the pigeon's stomach, and added a few bowls of it. Water, the pigeons are stewed together with medicinal materials.The other one is ready to be used for roasting pigeons.

Originally, she was thinking of killing the pigeons by herself, but how could Zang Lang let her do it, so she snatched it silently and did the job, and Lan Hua'er was so angry that she stomped beside her.

"What do you think you are talking about. If you are not at home in the future, what kind of little daughter-in-law should I be? What else do I do and cook?"

Zang Lang raised his hand and wiped his face with the back of his hand, smiled honestly, and said, "It's not shameful to let the little lady work. I just follow the little lady all the time, it's okay."

What he said was so natural that Lan Hua'er couldn't help but think of what he said at Yang Langzhong's house before, and made her blush.But Zang Lang didn't seem to feel that he had said something close to love, he lowered his head and continued digging out the guts of wild pigeons.

Lan Hua'er hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help it, so she ran outside to wash a wet towel, and wiped the pigeon blood on Zang Lang's face.

She doesn't hate Zang Lang, and always thinks that Zang Lang is a good man. Although he doesn't have such things as family property, he is willing to work and hardworking. Now he looks strong and has a gentle temper. He must be a good husband.Although she still doesn't say that she has too charming thoughts about Zang Lang, she doesn't object to putting Zang Lang in the "trial period" first.

If both of them have the same thoughts, they should be able to try to fall in love.It's not too late to think about starting a family when it really feels right.

Ke Lanhuaer thought for a long time, but she didn't know how to speak to Zang Lang.

Saying "Let's try to be together for a while, and if it feels better, then continue"?Say, "If it doesn't feel right, you should still find someone else to be your daughter-in-law"?In this Dayin Dynasty, there has never been any talk of falling in love. A man and a woman have an affair, which is called giving and receiving in private.Generally, even if you have such an idea, it is impossible to say it openly.

Moreover, those men and women who exchanged privately have actually long wanted to be together, but due to various reasons, there was no way to realize it for a while.Lan Huaer thought about it, but still felt that there was no way to tell Zang Lang about it.

But Zang Lang didn't seem to be in a hurry.

He just said what he said, and he didn't mean to force Lan Hua'er to give an answer right away. This attitude made Lan Hua'er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.She is really afraid that Zang Lang will force her to give the result immediately like others. She has always treated her peers around her as children, and she has never thought about it. Now she is suddenly asked to make a decision. It's a bit too difficult to be with someone for a lifetime.

It's good as it is now, Lan Hua'er thought, if she gets along with Zang Lang slowly, one day she will happily marry Zang Lang.

Before that day comes, she still has a long time to develop slowly with Zang Lang, which is really good.

The wild pigeons that Zang Lang caught from the back mountain were all old pigeons, because Yang Langzhong specially explained that only old pigeons can be effective for medicine.Lan Hua'er forgot to tell him and asked him to catch some young pigeons for cooking, and it turned out to be such an embarrassing result.

Old pigeons are as delicious as old pigeons, but what Lanhua'er misses is the roasted squab that she used to like very much. The meat of this old pigeon is relatively hard, and it is not suitable for roasting.

Lan Hua'er hesitated for a long time, whether it should be a different way to cook the pigeon, but she was really greedy, and finally decided to roast the pigeon.Although the meat is older, it is still chewy.She has even eaten roasted sparrows, so naturally she doesn't care about the poor quality of the old pigeon's meat.

The wild pigeons of Dayin Dynasty are thinner and one size smaller than the modern pigeons. Although they are old pigeons, they are only slightly bigger than the modern pigeons.Lan Hua'er used the method of roasting chicken, stringed the pigeons on the sticks, and roasted them on the fire.

Roasting meat in this way takes longer than stewing.

And because it is roasted directly outside, the aroma of the meat can be carried far away, and the sound of the fat being roasted under the skin can be heard, which is very attractive.

While roasting the pigeons, Lan Huaer told Zang Lang that he could catch some young pigeons in the future, they would be tender and the roasted ones would taste better.Zang Lang listened and nodded, watching the roasted pigeon swallow his saliva.Lan Hua'er laughed at him and showed a greedy face, as if she didn't have enough to eat on weekdays, but she herself couldn't help sniffing desperately at the smell of pigeons.

To say that the taste of the old pigeon after roasting is not as delicious as that of the squab, and Lan Hua'er doesn't have a lot of seasonings on hand. She is not even familiar with barbecue, so she can't roast that kind of pigeon that is completely red.I accidentally baked it somewhere, and it looks a little black.

Even so, the two happily shared the roasted pigeon and gave them a large bowl of cooked rice.After licking the shiny oil on their fingers, they couldn't help but smile at each other.

Zang Lang said regretfully, "If you know it's so delicious, you can catch more. Or kill those pigeons just now... No, I'm not full."

"This is to give you a taste, to let you know the taste, so that you will work hard to catch pigeons in the future, right?" Lan Hua'er was half full, squinted her eyes in satisfaction, and stuck out her tongue He licked his fingertips, "If you want to eat pigeons until you are full, you have to kill how many pigeons. It is to make you feel that you have not eaten enough, so you will think about eating again next time. Eating too much is not to make you feel bored ah."

Zang Lang wanted to stretch out his hand and scratch his head again, but seeing that his hands were greasy, he had no choice but to put them down again:

"I'm not tired of eating. There are delicious things, I like whatever I eat, and I won't get tired of it."

Lan Hua'er choked on his words.Think about it too, Zang Lang is a carnivore, eats a lot, and is not picky.Even if you roast ten pigeons a day for a month, he probably won't get bored.Lan Hua'er couldn't help but pouted:

"You are still not convinced. Go, go, go to the fire and bring down the pot of pigeons. You are still hungry, go and spoon some dry rice, and bring some fermented bean curd, which happens to be pigeons." Dip the meat and eat it."

Lan Hua'er didn't have much hope for such a pot of pigeon meat stewed with medicinal ingredients.There is only salt in the whole pot. Although there are red dates and goji berries stuffed in the pigeon belly, there are also herbs. It is estimated that the taste will be light and strange.

But it wasn't until she tasted a piece of pigeon meat that she realized that her idea was wrong.

This pigeon meat is already a little hard.It is precisely because of this that after steaming and stewing, the raw pigeon meat is stewed soft, and the feeling after the entrance is more memorable than roasted pigeon meat.Pigeon meat itself has a sweet taste and the taste of red dates. It is extremely delicious in the mouth.

I originally thought that the herbal medicine would have a strong taste, but motherwort and ai are not strong-flavored medicinal materials, but it gives the pigeon meat a fragrance.Although the soup is not very delicious, but this pigeon meat is really good to eat.

However, this old stewed herbal medicine was originally the orchid's medicine, she just couldn't finish it at one time, and Zang Lang didn't have any reason to share it.It was Lan Hua'er who tore up some pigeon meat and put it in Zang Lang's bowl, so he only ate a little.

There is no need to take this medicine many times, it is enough to take it once after each period is over.

Lan Hua'er doesn't need to continue taking medicine, but Zang Lang is obsessed with eating roasted pigeons.

Especially Lan Huaer told him before that the roasted pigeon would be more delicious, so after finishing the farm work, he ran up the mountain over and over again while the sky was still dark. After catching the pigeons, he turned around and asked the orchids to roast and eat them.

At the beginning, Lan Hua'er was quite happy, after all, she liked and missed the roasted squab very much, but after eating for two or three days, even Lan Hua'er began to feel bored.But Zang Lang has been working tirelessly, as if he really never gets tired of eating.Since he is not tired of eating, Lan Huaer cooks for him patiently.

Zang Lang was like the dog egg who tasted the taste of roast sparrow for the first time, going to the back mountain again and again.
