Perfect pastoral life

Chapter 34 Counting the Stars

The sun is setting and night is coming.

In the courtyard of Chen Mu's house.

"Rake, what's the name of our big dog?"

At this time, Chen Xiaoyu was playing with the big yellow dog in the yard. She wanted to catch the bumblebee, but the bumblebee ran around the yard mischievously.

Chen Mu, who was killing mandarin fish in the yard, raised his face when he heard this;
"It's called Bumblebee, little fish, you can't catch it if you run around like this."

"Rake, how can a small fish catch a big dog?"

"Well, you can call it a bumblebee and try, maybe you can catch it."

Chen Xiaoyu nodded, then rolled up his sleeves and continued to run towards the big yellow dog, shouting;
"Bumblebee, are you called Bumblebee, don't run, the little fish will catch you soon..."

Chen Xiaoyu had a great time playing with Bumblebee, so Chen Mu didn't bother her, and took the killed mandarin fish into the kitchen to cook.

Tonight is Chen Xiaoyu's first day at home, and Chen Mu plans to cook a big meal for her.

As for cooking skills, don't underestimate Chen Mu.

During his four or five years in the capital, ever since Chen Xiaoyu had Chen Xiaoyu, he would not cook for Chen Xiaoyu one day, and the father and daughter lived together. For the past four years, Chen Mu has taken care of Chen Xiaoyu in every possible way. , has completely become a full-time dad.

Jiang Suyi was busy with work, so she would visit Chen Mu's daughter when she was free, but it was only for visiting, it was impossible for her to eat and live with Chen Mu, and they had nothing to do with each other.

Of course, Chen Mu has always been Jiang Suyi's bodyguard.But after having Chen Xiaoyu, Chen Mu's work is not so frequent. He mostly follows Jiang Suyi when she attends some important occasions such as performances and film promotional roadshows. As for the daily work Chen Mu did not participate in the bodyguard work, this was the privilege that Jiang Suyi promised him.

Speaking of which, Chen Mu has taken advantage of Jiang Suyi's side all these years.Chen Mu doesn't have to work on a daily basis like other bodyguards, but his salary is the same as other bodyguards, and he is paid every penny.

Chen Mu not only has a relaxed job, but also spends most of the time with his daughter. Being a full-time dad, why not do it.

Therefore, you don't need to worry about his cooking skills. Although he is not as good as a chef in a hotel, he is definitely qualified to be a small chef.

Tonight, Chen Mu plans to cook a hard dish for Chen Xiaoyu - squirrel mandarin fish.

It's not difficult to cook squirrel mandarin fish. Chen Mu has cooked it many times during his stay in Beijing.

First of all, the raw materials that need to be prepared are a mandarin fish that has been killed and descaled, then pine nuts, peas, tomato paste, sugar, white vinegar, and flour.As for these things, Chen Mu has already prepared everything in the town today, and then he just needs to show his skills.

Soak the killed mandarin fish in Greek salt water for a few minutes to remove the fishy smell. Take out the soaked mandarin fish and drain the water, then sprinkle raw flour evenly on the fish, and then put the oil into the pan up.

Deep-fry the mandarin fish on high heat until golden, then take it out and put it on a plate, then set up another pot, put the tomato sauce into the oil pan, add salt, and a proper amount of white vinegar to blanch and heat.Finally, pour the blanched tomato sauce on the surface of the prepared fried mandarin fish on the plate, and then sprinkle some cooked peas and pine nuts to complete the dish.

The mandarin fish has fewer spines and more meat, and the meat is delicious. This squirrel mandarin fish dish is definitely Chen Xiaoyu's favorite.

After finishing the hard dishes, Chen Mu cooked two more daily side dishes, and tonight's simple meal is ready.

Chen Xiaoyu ran into the kitchen when he smelled the aroma of the vegetables;
"The dishes made by Papa are delicious. The little fish is starving, and the little fish is going to eat."

Chen Mu smiled and said, "The dishes will be ready soon, Xiaoyu, can you wait a little longer?"

"Okay, Xiaoyu is going to move a small stool for Papa."

"Hey, Xiaoyu is really sensible!"

. . .

As the sky darkened, the stars in the sky began to light up one by one, and the moon was so clear and bright.

After dinner, Chen Mu carried Chen Xiaoyu to the spacious corridor on the second floor and let her sit on the recliner.

"Rake rake rake rake, there are so many little stars in the sky, the little fish must count the little stars."

It was the first time for Chen Xiaoyu to see so many stars in the sky, which made her very happy.

She was sitting on the recliner, her feet were swinging back and forth, she raised her head and counted the stars in the sky with her little fingers, her little mouth kept chanting;

"One, two,,, eight, nine,, oops, I forgot,, that star seems to have been counted just now..."

Chen Xiaoyu counted again and again, but he was never right.

Finally, the little guy got tired of counting, sighed, and muttered;
"Don't count, don't count, there are too many stars, the little fish can't count them!"

Chen Mu is now sitting on the small stool next to him, he lightly touched Chen Xiaoyu's little nose with his finger, and said with a smile;
"Little fish, there are so many stars in the sky, how can you count them. Dad will take you to see fireflies in the future, okay? The fireflies are as beautiful as the stars in the sky."

Hearing this, Chen Xiaoyu became excited, and stared at his father with a pair of watery eyes;

"Are you telling the truth? Are there really fireflies? Little fish want to see fireflies."

"Of course it's true, but it's not there today. It will take a while for the fireflies to come out."

Chen Xiaoyu refused to let go, and asked, "Papa, why are there no fireflies tonight?"

"Because the fireflies have all gone home, it will take a while for them to come out."

"Oh, where is the firefly's home?"

"Uh, this..." Chen Mu faced Chen Xiaoyu's inquisition, he couldn't make it up anymore, so he could only laugh, "Father doesn't know where their homes are, maybe in the mountains, or It’s not necessarily in the grass, but it’s not necessarily perched on a tree.”

Chen Xiaoyu was a little dizzy by Chen Mu's words, after thinking for a while, she uttered a sentence like she was talking to herself;
"Oh, it turns out that fireflies have so many homes. Xiaoyu is so envious of fireflies."

. . .

The two sat in the corridor looking at the starry sky, chatting happily.Suddenly, Chen Mu's cell phone rang.

Chen Mu is not very popular, and he doesn't usually get calls. The only person he can think of on this call is Yang Xi, the medicinal material dealer. Is she coming to get the goods?
Thinking about it, Chen Mu took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

However, when he saw the caller on his phone, he was shocked.

Because the caller was none other than Chen Xiaoyu's mother, Jiang Suyi.

Chen Mu, who was holding the mobile phone, was so stunned, a little caught off guard, the mobile phone hummed thinking, he also forgot to answer the phone, or Chen Xiaoyu who was next to him asked;
"Rake, why don't you answer the phone?"

"Ah, oh, Xiaoyu, it's your mother calling." Chen Mu said stupidly.

When Chen Xiaoyu learned that the call was from her mother, she anxiously urged Chen Mu;
"Hara, answer the phone quickly, why don't you answer the phone call from mom?"

"Ah, oh, answer, answer the phone..."

Chen Mu came back to his senses, he took a deep breath and pressed the answer button.
