Chapter 344 Small Forest
Su Li's current home is surrounded by swamps, forests, and fields. The environment is very good, but four-wheeled vehicles cannot drive in.Country roads are only suitable for two-wheeled vehicles. Of course, the most suitable way is to measure this beautiful land with your own feet.
Qianyeling parked the car on the side of the road, and helped to walk behind Su Li with a big bag. On the way, he met Shizi who had calculated the time and planned to pick up Su Li at the bus station.
"elder sister."
"Xizi?" Shizi glanced at Qianye Ling and asked, "Is this your friend?"
"Enen, his name is Qianye Ling, he is my friend, I just met him in the supermarket, and he sent me back." Su Li put the big shopping bag in the back basket of the car while speaking, and then He took the bag from Ling's hand, pressed it up, and tied it with a rope.
Qianye Ling bowed slightly to Shizi, with a handsome and amiable smile: "Just call me Ling." He stepped forward to take the bicycle faucet from Shizi, and said, "Let me do it!"
Shizi let go of his hand and winked at Su Li.
Obviously, Shizi has other understandings about friends.
Su Li smiled cutely and said nothing, which seemed more like tacit consent in Shizi's eyes.
The three of them walked on the path paved with gravel, talking about the scenery, folk customs, and harvest that could not go wrong.Ling didn't have any experience in planting, but regarding the scenery, as a writer, he could describe the small forest as a beautiful fairyland with a language ability that Shizi and Su Li couldn't match at all.
I always feel that the small forest described by his mouth is more beautiful than what I saw with my own eyes!
When they got to the door, Su Li naturally offered an invitation: "As a thank you, let's stay for dinner tonight!"
Qianye Ling nodded very readily and agreed: "Okay."
"Oh?" Su Li didn't realize it a little bit, normal people, shouldn't they be a little polite first?
Qianye Ling blushed slowly, stood at the door and repeated in a soft but firm voice: "I mean it." Since returning to his hometown, he has been eating waste materials from supermarkets. Occasionally, neighbors would bring him some cooked food that can only be used as snacks.Because there is no takeaway or restaurant, he ate hot rice and vegetables twice a month...
So, when Su Li asked for dinner, his tormented stomach immediately urged him to agree.
Su Li was taken aback by this big man, stepped back a few steps to get out of the door, and said with a smile on her face, "Please come in!"
Ling took off his shoes and entered the room, and sat down at the low table.Shizi brought a glass of water, and put the things Su Li bought into the refrigerator and upstairs.The three of them gathered around the low table and chatted happily about the small forest.As the two sisters from Little Forest, I really like Ling's praise of Little Forest!
Simply never tire of hearing it!
After four o'clock, Su Li got up to prepare dinner with Shi Zi. Because there were guests, the two decided to cook more dishes and show off their skills.Su Li directly set her sights on a piece of pork belly that she bought back.Stir-fried dishes are not suitable for cooking in this small house, but Dongpo pork is very suitable!
Cut the pork belly into mahjong-sized cubes, blanch them and place them in a casserole piece by piece.Put sliced ginger on top, pour thick soy sauce, sugar, wine and some water, and put it on the stove to simmer.
Shizi never forgets the fried dumplings last night, well, Su Li also likes the fried dumplings she made, so she began to chop up the meat!After chopping the meat for a while, she glanced at the kitchen knife in her hand and was a little dissatisfied: "This knife is too small, and I feel powerless for chopping meat."
Su Li likes the big rectangular kitchen knife, but the small knife she uses now is called a fruit knife.
Cutting vegetables with a fruit knife always feels a bit boring.
Shizi took the two knives from Su Li's hand in a good-tempered manner, pressed her hip against Su Li's waist, and pushed her aside: "Then I will help you. Go choose vegetables!"
Su Li took out the celery she bought from the refrigerator and put it on the corridor, called Ling who was sitting at the low table, took out a small knife and handed it to him, and then picked up a piece of celery as a demonstration: "Look at me , tear the stalk off the leaf. It's easy."
Ling picked up the knife and then the celery, hesitating.He glanced at Su Li, then at the celery in his hand, and finally looked at the little green strip that was said to be the stalk that Su Li tore out: "Can't we fry it directly?"
"If you fry it directly, it will feel stagnant when you bite it." Su Li put aside the celery that had been torn off the stem in her hand, and shrugged: "It doesn't matter if you fry it in a big fire, but at home—" She pointed Pointing to the window with a shelf: "There is no range hood, and it will be very troublesome if it is fried."
As a waste of life, Qianye Ling actually doesn't understand the difference between stir-frying and stir-frying...
Seeing the confusion on his face, Su Li changed to a more understandable explanation: "If simple stir-frying is fireworks, stir-frying is firecrackers."
Qianye nodded with a serious expression: "Oh, I understand." Then he picked up the knife and started to move awkwardly.
The three of them were chatting and laughing, and the lively and casual atmosphere made Shizi, who was earnestly chopping the minced meat, a little dazed.
Before my mother took Su Li away, the atmosphere at home was also like this...
"Okay, okay, the minced meat is ready, come over and adjust the stuffing!" Shi Zi smiled and called Su Li.
Dumplings have a warm meaning in flower growers, and as a kind of food, they have been endowed with many meanings.But what Su Li likes the most is the atmosphere of the whole family making dumplings together.Although, it seems that she only learned how to make dumplings after she started time-traveling...
After all, as a purebred southerner, she is best at making wontons...
She adjusted the stuffing, rolled the dough into dumpling wrappers, put the two things on a tray and brought them to the corridor. The three of them formed a circle: "Okay! Let's make dumplings together!"
Shizi was ingenious, and he was able to get started immediately after teaching it once, but Qianye Ling couldn't do it.Obviously the ten fingers are evenly slender, but they are too stupid to bear it.Making a dumpling almost made my hands cramp!
"Ling, help put the dumplings we made on the plate..." Su Li glanced at the hideous dough and meat that Ling finally made, and assigned him a suitable job with a helpless expression.
By the time the big plate of dumplings was wrapped, the aroma of braised pork had already permeated the small house——
Ling swallowed a big mouthful of saliva without concealing it, and his heart was filled with anticipation.
Su Li counted the number of dumplings she ate tonight, and put the rest in the refrigerator to freeze, so that she could eat them whenever she wanted to.When she got up, she turned her head to look at Ling who was about to drool, and decided to wrap some for him later.
The braised pork was very successful. Ling originally wanted to maintain his image in front of his friends, but in the end, even the leftover bread made by Shizi was eaten by him dipping it in the broth of the braised pork...
Looking at the empty casserole, he still had some regrets: "It would be great if this soup can be sold, so that I can eat this soup bibimbap every day."
Su Li and Shi Zi were amused by Ling's childish appearance, which did not match his appearance, and then offered a warm invitation: "If you want to eat home-cooked food, you can come and eat it! Of course, the ingredients need you Just bring it!"
"Agreement?"
"Agreement."
It was dark and late in summer, but by the time the three of them had finished eating, the sun had already set.The small forest is located at the bottom of the basin, and it gets dark earlier than the places outside the mountains.Driving at night was dangerous, Su Li and Shi Zi took a flashlight and a box of frozen dumplings to send Ling back to the main road in the small forest.
Shizi walked in the front, listening to the two chatting behind them about the benefits of living in a small mountain village——
Su Li bounced and walked beside the long-legged Ling, her voice was extremely cheerful: "I like the small forest, although the vegetables we grow by ourselves are not mature yet, but I am happy when I think that I will not need to buy vegetables in a long time !"
Ling looked down at Su Li, and smiled dotingly: "I just saw that the tomatoes you planted are growing very well."
"Yes, yes!" Su Li proudly crossed her waist for a while: "My rice is also growing very well, and I work hard to weed them! The wild vegetables on the mountain are also delicious. I can go to the mountains to see if there are any mushrooms. Matsutake mushrooms are delicious grilled, great in soup or deep-fried tempura!"
"Then I'll go and have a look tomorrow." Ling rubbed his chin, thinking about his cooking skills, he hesitated again: "Tempura, it should be quite simple, right?"
"If you can't control the temperature and time, it probably won't work..." Su Li looked up at Ling with expectant eyes, and told the truth expressionlessly.
Ling: "..."
"Why don't you make mushroom porridge?" Shizi turned his head and suggested, "Wash the picked mushrooms, tear them into thin strips, put them into the boiled porridge, and add some salt to taste."
"This is good!" Ling happily decided on his recipe for tomorrow.
After walking a long way, the three of them came to the main road of the small forest, and Ling's car was parked on the side of the road.
When Ling got into the car and waved goodbye to the two of them, Su Li suddenly remembered something and asked, "You know Songmo, right?"
Ling: "...I don't know..."
Shizi & Su Li: "..."
The author has something to say:
My husband's hometown is in the Northeast, and there are mountains around the house. Pine trees grow on half of the mountains, and there are many mushrooms under them, but they don't even eat them! ! !
As a tiny fan of mushrooms, I condemn them!
Mushrooms are really delicious!I really like all mushrooms except shiitake mushrooms! ! !
