Chapter 345 Small Forest
Seeing the back of the decadent car gradually shrinking and disappearing, Su Li held Shi Zi's hand and accepted the torture of gossip from her sister——
"You and Mr. Chiba are really just friends?"
Su Li looked at the sky and was very honest: "As far as it is concerned, it is indeed true."
Shizi grasped a certain word precisely: "As for now? What about after that?"
"What will happen in the future..." Su Li showed a cute smile to Shizi. Even in the dark night, she could see the mischievous eyes in her moist eyes: "Let's talk about the future! Alright!" Then she quickly changed the subject: "Sister, let's go up the mountain to pick mushrooms tomorrow! We picked a lot of mushrooms, and dried mushrooms can be stored for a year! I also want to make mushroom sauce! The noodles must be very good !"
Shi Zi pointed Su Li's forehead with his finger, and then laughed, "Okay, let's go pick mushrooms tomorrow."
There was no entertainment at night in the small forest. After reading a book and playing computer for a while, the two sisters took a shower, changed into pajamas, got into their respective beds, closed their eyes and fell into a peaceful sleep.The next morning, Su Li, who was obsessed with picking mushrooms, got up when it was still daylight.
After washing rice and cooking, I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face, and changed into old clothes suitable for work.When I came out, I found the noodles I bought yesterday, took out cabbage, eggs, and carrots, and went to dig a clump of wild garlic on the slope in front of the house.
Stir-fry the cabbage and carrots together, add water, add noodles after boiling, add eggs, add salt, add wild garlic to enhance fragrance.Two bowls of egg noodles are out of the pan!
Put the noodles into a large plain wooden bowl, and cut up some wild vegetables pickled by Shizi in spring.Su Li diced the remaining carrots and cabbage, wrapped them in the beaten egg liquid, stirred them evenly, and poured them into the pan.Slowly roll up the edges of the eggs as they solidify and form – egg rolls.One of the most common dishes in the Neon family, it occupies the best place in the bento boxes of elementary and middle school students.
Find a bamboo bento box, put washed pumpkin leaves inside, and put the sliced egg rolls in it.At this time, the rice is already cooked, add salt, a little soy sauce, salad oil, stir evenly, grab a handful of rice with your hands and make rice balls.
Looking at the lunch box felt a little boring, Su Li dug out the dumplings made last night from the refrigerator, and fried six of them.
"Xizi? So early?" Shizi is a bit lazy, although she is diligent most of the time.But when the weeding activities in the field have been carried out almost, and the vegetable field has been taken care of, she is still willing to stay in bed for a while.
Su Li put the fried dumplings into the bento box, turned her head to look at Shizi with a smile of anticipation: "I can't wait to pick mushrooms!"
Shizi laughed and walked over to take a look at Su Li's bento. After washing up, the two sisters sat at the low table and discussed mushroom picking.It is the beginning of summer now, and the pine mushrooms have begun to grow. Moreover, there are not only pine mushrooms in the forest, but also some other mushrooms.
"I only know two kinds of mushrooms, one kind of pine mushroom and one kind of fungus." After breakfast, Shizi said while washing the dishes: "Besides, there are not many pine mushrooms on the mountain now. Pine mushrooms."
Su Li wasn't worried about this at all: "If you walk a little further, you can always find it!"
After breakfast, the two sisters carried their bags and took several plastic bags into the mountain and headed for the pine forest!
It rained all day yesterday, and there are not many mushrooms under the trees, but most of them are inedible or not so fresh.Su Li cut off half a bag of fungus from a fallen tree, and dug a matsutake under a pine tree!
"Look! Sister!" She held up the matsutake, and was very surprised: "There are matsutake here!"
Shizi's eyes also lit up!She turned over the ground in front of her, trying to find the second one.But unfortunately, by the time the sisters returned home with a full load, there was only one matsutake.
When they got home, Su Li and Shi Zi quickly cleaned all the mushrooms they picked, took out needles and threads, threaded them into strings and hung them under the eaves.Mushrooms should not be exposed to the sun, and it is best to dry them naturally.
Su Li picked out some mushrooms that had been deformed because they were placed at the bottom of the bag and tore them into strips.Add butter to the pan and heat to melt, then add minced onion and mushroom strips and stir fry.Pour fresh cream, salt, and water to boil until half of the water is left, add starch to thicken.After it is out of the pan, pour it into a jar and keep it sealed. It will be very delicious when you mix it with cod, chicken chops and pasta!
Because there were a lot of crushed mushrooms, Su Li made two big jars of mushroom sauce.
Thinking of Ling who can't cook, she picked up a can and put it in a bag, and said hello to Shizi who was resting in the corridor: "Sister, I'll go to Ling's house and send him a can of mushroom sauce."
"Do you know the way?"
"I don't know him!" Su Li said confidently, "But I can ask Ling Fa to locate me!"
Shizi: "...Go by bicycle, slow down on the road."
"Understood sister!" Su Li hung her mobile phone around her neck, fixed the mushroom sauce in the bucket, pushed the bicycle that was a bit big for her downhill, rode it up with strange movements, and turned several times before Steady the faucet and slowly rode along the path to the main road.He picked up his cell phone and called Ling.
The little girl's voice cheerfully reached the ears of Ling who was sitting in front of the porch looking at the forest in a daze through the phone, which made him smile unconsciously.
"Ling! I picked a lot of mushrooms! I made mushroom sauce, and I'll send it to you! Send me the location!"
Ling smiled, even though he knew the little girl couldn't see it, he still nodded with his mobile phone in his arms: "Okay, wait a minute, I'll send you the address." After half a second, he changed his words: "Forget it, I'll go pick you up!"
"No need!" Su Li waved her hand with her mobile phone: "I don't know how wonderful it is to ride a bicycle through the forest trails! Uncle, don't bother me!"
"Uncle?!" Ling shouted in disbelief, "I'm only 28 years old!"
Su Li had a smirk on her face, but the voice transmitted through the mobile phone was very innocent: "But I will only turn 18 next month."
Ling: "...I'll send you the address."
The children nowadays are really more and more capable of sticking knives at their honest and handsome boys!
The roads in the countryside are not complicated, there is only one main road in the small forest, ride straight ahead, pass the village office, and pass the village entrance.After another half an hour of riding, we arrived at the village where Ling lived.
When she was about to arrive, Su Li saw Ling who was waiting at the entrance of the village from a distance.She happily held the faucet with one hand, and waved the other hand excitedly: "Ling!"
"Xizi!" Ling took a few steps forward, then stopped and waited.
Su Li stopped in front of Ling, jumped off the bicycle, and took out the mushroom sauce she made from the bucket like a treasure: "General! With this, you can eat noodles!"
Ling saw Su Li's smile, and then laughed. He took the mushroom sauce, looked at it for a while, and then offered an invitation: "Would you like to come to my house?"
"Okay!"
Ling leaned on the bicycle and walked side by side with Su Li. Today was the rare sun in the rainy season.The sun is gentle and gentle, and it comes with a moist wind, which makes the whole person feel comfortable.
"Wow!"
Su Li stood in front of Ling's house, with her mouth wide open, admiring: "Your house looks like it was drawn in a cartoon! It's so big and beautiful!"
"It was built by my grandfather back then, and then my dad rebuilt it. Because the house is in the forest, the building is getting bigger and bigger, and the fence is getting higher and higher..." Ling rubbed his nose, somewhat She explained embarrassingly: "But it's just that the walls are very tall, and there are ordinary houses inside, and because there are no people living in it for many years, many places have aged."
Opening the door, Su Li couldn't help laughing: "The difference between the inside and the outside is too big!"
I saw an old Japanese-style house in the middle of the yard. The weeds in the front yard were reborn, completely covering the original scenery. Only a few old lamp sockets had a small head.
Ling parked his bicycle at the door with some embarrassment, held the mushroom sauce and walked to the front of the house along a path he had spent two days clearing out, and opened the door: "Come in, I cleaned the house quite clean. "
Su Li took off her shoes and entered the room. The first thing she saw was the large bookshelf against the wall. The bookshelf as high as the ceiling was already filled with books.There was a long low table in front of the bookshelf, and the books on it were a bit messy, and white paper was randomly thrown on the floor of the low table.
"Wow, you really are a writer!"
"Want to read the book I wrote?" It is Ling's pride that he has written a book and published it and sold it well.At least, I am a million times prouder than my messy courtyard!
Su Li nodded: "Yes."
Ling took a few books he had published from the bookshelf, found a cardboard box and packed them all in: "It's getting late now, take it back and read it! Otherwise, the road will not be safe."
"When I go to Linzhen next time, I'll go to the bookstore and buy a few of your books to support you!" Su Li's eyes were bright and her face was full of seriousness.
Ling was amused by Su Li's words, and couldn't help but raised his hand and pinched the girl's little fat face: "Then I would like to thank Xizi for her support!"
"Small idea!"
The author has something to say:
For the mushroom sauce, I will make two kinds. The one in the article is one, and the other is made with a lot of chili and soybean paste, and spread on the steamed buns. It is also delicious to add some fried noodles and fried meat!I also like to eat it directly with rice!
