Chapter 41. Let’s Eat
The last two dishes were prepared by Luo Yihang and Sui Wa.
They each took a wok and cooked the last two dishes at the same time, shredded pork with carrots and scrambled eggs with leeks.
It's okay when stir-frying shredded pork and scrambling eggs.
Wait for the leeks and carrots to be put into the pot.
Wow, the aroma is so overbearing, rushing out in gurgling gulps.
The people who were chatting, drinking water and waiting for dinner in the living room stopped talking at the same time. They all turned to the kitchen, sniffing their noses as they followed the smell.
Then everyone's stomach began to rumble like drums.
Qiang Wa suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "The first batch of leeks is really awesome. They should be used to make dumplings. The leek and shrimp dumplings are amazing."
Luo Cheng said cheerfully, "There are still some in the fields. We harvested them when we left. You can pack them yourself when you get back."
"Uh." Qiangwa shook his head like a rattle, "Forget it, I'll just come to your place and stay."
"Okay, I'll make dumplings for the kids for dinner."
The old and the young have a good relationship while fishing.
Lunch hasn't even been served yet, but dinner has already been decided.
After the two plates of stir-fried dishes were served, the pressure cooker, stew pot and steamer were all turned on.
The flavor of beef and pork ribs cannot overwhelm the aroma of tomatoes and eggplant.
Finally, throw the washed spinach into the pot of boiling water, and the house will be filled with fragrance, which will suppress the smell of meat.
All kinds of rich aromas mixed together and flowed out of the kitchen, into the living room, and into everyone's nostrils.
Domineering, passionate, and intoxicated.
“I can eat three big bowls just by smelling it.”
"The gay guys are pretty good at it."
The fragrance was like a horn. Everyone in the living room stood up at once, serving dishes and rice in bowls, their movements becoming faster.
For lunch today, the main feature is to increase the quantity without increasing the price.
Beef stewed with tomatoes and pork ribs stewed with lettuce, both main dishes are served in bowls.
There are also large plates of minced meat with eggplant, leek and egg, and stir-fried meat with shredded carrots.
There is also a bowl of smashed cucumbers.
The small dining table was almost piled high with dishes.
There was a bowl of rice in front of the last person.
Luo Cheng poured a small glass of wine and wanted to say a few words, welcoming everyone to visit.
As a result, when he picked up the wine glass, he saw men and women, young and old, including the old queen from his wife's family.
They all ate very quickly without even raising their heads.
Well, let’s not talk about anything else. Luo Cheng took a sip of wine, put down his glass and joined the crowd rushing for food.
Among the several dishes, the carrots were the first to be served. The carrots were bright red, the meat was stir-fried until it was dry, and the oil had fried it to an orange-yellow color. The carrots were shiny and shredded neatly, and were soft and crispy.
Each person can clean it up with just one chopstick.
Then the minced meat and eggplant are soft and tender. Use chopsticks to pick them up and finish them in a few seconds.
Next, the leeks and eggs, smashed cucumbers, and lettuce and pork ribs were quickly cooked.
The tomato stewed beef is served directly with a large spoon, one large spoon per person. The thick chunks of meat are piled up in the bowl, and the broth soaks into the rice.
Finally, have a bowl of vegetable soup to rinse your mouth.
The men's childish desire to win, coupled with Luo Yihang's cheating, created a very wonderful effect.
In just half an hour, even the garlic in the smashed cucumbers on the table was picked out.
Su Jing and Zhang Yue, who ate the least, each ate two bowls of rice.
Qiangwa even drank five big bowls of rice.
Fortunately, when Luo Yihang was cooking, he was afraid that the rice cooker might not be enough, so he used a steamer to steam a large pot of rice, otherwise it would not be enough.
Until there is nothing left in the plate or bowl.
Everyone then put down their chopsticks, slumped in their chairs, held their stomachs, and gasped for breath.
You have to hold on to something. If you eat too much, you will feel uncomfortable.
In other words, Luo Yihang was fine. He controlled his food intake to be normal and did not perform beyond his level.
She opened the cabinet and took out a plate of stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets to share with everyone. Su Jing held two pills in her hand and laughed at her husband, "What a pity, what a pity, you are a doctor. You should be more careful in your daily life. Don't eat too much sweet or salty food. Eat small meals frequently and keep your diet light. What's wrong with you today? Why are you so full that you can't move?"
Sui Wa shyly covered his face with one hand and blocked his wife's mouth with the other hand, "Don't say it, don't say it."
It takes half an hour to eat and half an hour to relax.
They stood up one by one and walked around.
"Those who cook don't wash dishes, and those who wash dishes don't cook." Luo Yihang looked at Qiang Wa and shouted.
Su Jing and Zhang Yue went to wash the dishes and clean up the mess. Zhang Guiqin and Luo Cheng wanted to help, but were stopped by them.
After a while, Su Jing yelled from inside, "Qiangwa, I beg you, please get out, it will be considered a help if you don't take up space."
Then Qiangwa was kicked out.
Four young men, playing with a cat in a circle in the room...
……
Free afternoon at leisure.
Luo Cheng and Qiang Wa went to the platform again with their fishing rods.
According to Qiangwa, fishing looks boring, but it is quite addictive when you play it.
Since we have mentioned going up the mountain, why not go together? It is a good opportunity to see the water birds fighting with Ding Xiaoman.
Led by Ding Xiaoman, the group went up along the old path behind the house, crossed the meadow, passed through the grove, and climbed up to the platform.
Go up the platform and walk further in for two or three minutes, then turn right, and you will see a beautiful river.
It flows down from the distant mountains, passes through the platform, then turns around the valley, flows into the grove and disappears.
This small river is the main source of agricultural water for Ping'angou.
Its source is in a pool in the Qinling Mountains, where several streams converge, as well as melted snow from the mountains. It flows down through Ping'an Valley and then all the way down to the Baohe River at the foot of the mountain.
Relying on this small river, the villagers of Ping'angou dug canals for agricultural irrigation.
The width of the stream is only four or five meters, which is wider than a stream but much narrower than a river, so it is considered a small stream.
The river is very shallow, with the deepest part no deeper than the thigh. The water is very clear and you can see the bottom at a glance. The river reflects the sunlight, sparkling and flowing slowly.
There are large river beaches on both sides, covered with pebbles of various sizes, so it is not difficult to walk on.
In the shallow water of the river, there were several beautiful big white birds with long legs, long necks and long beaks staring straight at the water.
From time to time, he would poke his mouth into the river and pull out a small fish.
As we got closer to the river, the water vapor dissipated and the temperature suddenly became cooler, which made us feel refreshed.
“What a beautiful place.”
Su Jing had never been here before and was still exclaiming.
Zhang Yue has already raised the camera.
When Ding Xiaoman saw the water bird, he became extremely jealous, as if meeting an enemy. The hair on his back stood up and he was about to jump into the water.
Luo Yihang grabbed fate by the neck.
The water birds were frightened, spread their huge wings, kicked their feet and flew into the sky, floating like fairies, and were captured by the camera...
Luo Yihang mentioned Ding Xiaoman, pointing at the birds and educating the "children": "What is that? That's a great egret, second grade, more precious than you. If you break it, people will knock your cat's head off. Did you hear me?"
Ding Xiaoman was still angry, and was whimpering in anger when being caught by Luo Yihang.
Luo Yihang continued to teach: "Don't be angry, change your approach. We cats should be smart and use our brains. Birds are stupid. Anyway, don't hit them, don't kill them, and don't hurt them. Besides, we are smart and ambitious. We catch fish by ourselves and don't steal from stupid birds."
Ding Xiaoman stopped whining immediately, and his big golden eyes rolled around.
Did it understand?
Luo Yihang was curious, so he lifted Ding Xiaoman up and looked at him from left to right. "You must be a spirit, right? Call me daddy and let me hear it."
Then Ding Xiaoman pressed his face and pushed him away.
"You really have become a spirit. Next time I'll tie a camera to your body and see what you do when you go out every day."
Hey, Luo Yihang suddenly had an idea, this is a good idea.
Isn't the excuse for coming back to do self-media? These days I've been selling pepper sprouts and digging Poria cocos, and I haven't had time to do it.
If you are too lazy to take the photos yourself, you can ask Ding Xiaoman to take them.
Being an animal anchor is a huge blue ocean. There is no need to compete with other anchors, and there is no need to pay salaries.
perfect.
