Chapter 155 155. Water hyacinth and tofu soup
The lunch meal was very enjoyable for everyone.
There is a pot full of egg shredded wolfberry sprout balls. Although the seventh cousin said that the big pot dish looks average, as far as everyone can see...the green wolfberry sprouts and the yellow shredded egg are paired with a handful of red wolfberry.
The fresh aroma of pork leg mixed with these green leaves and red flowers is particularly attractive.
Not to mention that before cooking, the seventh cousin took a walk in the pond at the door and directed Zhang Yanping to fish out a handful of water hyacinth.
What is water hyacinth?
Invasive species!
If someone grows this in their pond, if no one takes care of it, it can cover the entire pond in half a month.
That is to say, there are many grass carp in the pond at the door, so they continue to grow on the edge.
You can ask your seventh cousin to come and see it, he is simply ignorant -
“The water hyacinth and tofu soup is so tender.”
“Besides, look at this tender meat. It’s obviously better in quality than those carefully cultivated by others, and the taste is guaranteed to be the same. If you don’t eat this in Baoshan, that’s you...”
“When the time comes, select some tender water hyacinths, remove the roots, wash them, blanch them in water, add them to the tofu, and make soup with lard and **** slices. I’m sure you’ll be able to drink them all.”
Song Tan then remembered - Oh, when I was digging wild vegetables by the pond, the spiritual energy was generated, and some of them were probably stuck to the water hyacinth...
“Eat, eat, eat!” She immediately agreed: “Whatever cousin does, we will eat.”
So Song Sancheng, who had just finished his work, was sent out again:
“It’s time to replace the gas tank at home, it’s all gone. By the way, I’m going to pick up two kilograms of water tofu and make soup at noon.”
Since there is water hyacinth, there is no need to make the originally planned rapeseed flower rice soup. The seventh cousin thought for a while and simply mixed it with wild onions.
Just pick whatever is left over and stew it with meat.
This meal made Fengjuan Canyun extremely satisfied. Just looking at the menu, foodie Zhang Yanping felt that he had gained a lot of knowledge.
Not to mention the family members - even Song Tan, for the first time, took two more bites of these "ordinary" dishes.
After eating, everyone could feel that the weather was getting worse.
At first it was just drizzle, but now the sky is getting darker and cloudier, as if heavy rain is right in front of you.
Ulan frowned:
“Why does it feel like it’s going to rain heavily? I just picked tea leaves.”
Grandma Wang Lifen also had a look of regret: "That's right! I've been so busy during this period, so I can just relax and go to Chashan today...Why is it suddenly going to rain again?"
In previous years, it didn’t rain so heavily around Qingming Festival!
Song Tan laughed. The spiritual energy that was activated last night caused the peach trees to take root and the vegetable garden was full of life. It was a time when water was needed!
This rain came just in time.
“Mom, you and grandma should have a good rest. Everyone is as busy as a top during this period, and God wants you to slow down.”
This is true.
However, as a standard rural person, Ulan only glared at her: "You are lazy, isn't it raining yet? Mom -"
She shouted loudly: "Let's go to the tea mountain and work for a while."
Seeing her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law climbing up the mountain, Song Tan felt helpless. After thinking about it, she might as well go for a walk in the back mountain.
I dug out the pig food bucket from home, mixed the leftovers into it, and added some for the king who ate dog food for lunch!
But Song Sancheng and Song Youde had already picked up the tools:
“Cousin, I’ll go to your house first to see what needs repairing.”
As the old saying goes, a house also needs people to support it.
Since the seventh cousin and grandma moved to the city, they would only come back for a few days during the holidays. The houses were just makeshift and had not been repaired for many years.
Song Sancheng has already made a plan: He will teach Qiao Qiao seriously. If he can't do it alone in the afternoon, he will invite a few more people to work together, so that the seventh cousin can live comfortably at home!
Where is the seventh cousin?
He was not idle either, and now he went to rummage through Song Tan's freezer: "There are quite a lot of vegetables and peppers in the kitchen. Let me see if there are any other meaty ones. When doing farm work, if you don't eat something oily and watery, you will be covered in it." No strength."
Only Qiaoqiao held the tablet and concentrated on it, attracted by the charming Ultraman inside.
Zhang Yanping looked around - it seemed like he was the only idler at home?
He walked around the yard twice, thought for a while, reached out and picked up a small native dog in his arms, and then turned on his mobile phone and started making various contacts.
…
In the back mountain, the king's house is very majestic.
If a stranger comes, I'm afraid he will wonder if this is a place for humans or dogs.
But after a second look, you’ll understand—
Inside the tall, uncovered door is a rough concrete floor with a layer of dry straw.
Your Majesty loves cleanliness, and now the straw is all the same, neat and bright.
At the door of the dog house, in an old, outdated large enamel basin with white background and red flowers, the dog food was licked clean.
There is a plastic bucket on the other side, with only half a bucket of water left in it.
Song Tan carried the small bucket up the mountain and saw that the king was already wagging his tail excitedly.
What happened to eating leftovers? The king loves to eat leftovers, which taste a hundred times better than dog food!
What a pity. The king probably also knows that his appetite is too big. If he really eats the leftovers as a regular meal, he will have to cook a whole pot for every meal -
I can’t stand it!
Since there is still a lot of dog food from the previous owner, let’s eat the dog food first.
Song Tan poured the rice in the bucket into the old enamel basin. Watching the king eating deliciously, he couldn't help but touch his smooth and shiny fur:
“Your Majesty, do you always cheat Qiao Qiao? Why do I feel like you have grown taller again?”
The king's tail stiffened for a moment, and then shook it nonchalantly.
Song Tan looked carefully, and happened to catch the king's eyes that were looking up diagonally.
Come on, what else don’t you understand?
Look at how smooth it looks!
Song Tanke still remembered: "Look, when you left your former master, you were still reluctant to leave. Even if he built you a villa and food, can I give you food?"
"You work hard, every grain we eat is your own salary, so feel free to eat!"
Now when the former owner is mentioned, the king is no longer sad. He only speeds up the frequency of wagging his tail and now buries his head in the basin more and more.
By the way, he kept using his nose to try to push away the Dabai who was trying to grab food from the side. Dabai's long neck and flat mouth were trying to find holes, and you came and went.
Don’t tell me, it’s really interesting!
Song Tan couldn't hold it back for a moment and took a video of the food grabbing and posted it to WeChat Moments.
Then she began to speak earnestly:
“Your Majesty, it’s quite boring to stay here at the back of the mountain every day, isn’t it?”
“Would you consider putting more burdens on yourself during the exam?”
