Chapter 360 The Heavy Ear of Rice

Chapter 360 The Heavy Ear of Rice

Yangchun noodles in Shanghai is a well-known bowl of noodles in Shanghai, and it is also the bowl of noodles that has been complained the most by outsiders.

After leaving Shanghai, it is difficult to find this bowl of noodles in other places in China.

The method of Yangchun noodles is to cook the noodles with scallion oil and deep-fried sea rice oil, and add a few chopped green onions after cooking.The ingredients are not rich enough, and there is no difficulty in operation, which makes this bowl of noodles look very bland.

But in Lu Lu's opinion, the use of lard is the soul of this bowl of noodles.

Chen Xiuyu watched Lu Lu work hard for a long time in the kitchen, but what came out was such a bowl of noodles. After taking a sip, she shook her head.

Decisively, when Lu Lu took out the noodles and passed the water, he made himself a cool and sweet soup, added her newly marinated spicy cabbage, plus two soft-boiled eggs and slices of deep-fried The five flowers that came out suddenly became wonderful.

Lu Lu took a look, it was clearly the Northeast Cold Noodles!

Serve a bowl during the dog days, which is comfortable and satisfying and cools off the heat.

I don't know why, but such delicious Northeast Cold Noodles are hard to see after leaving the Northeast.

Even after decades, Northeast barbecue and iron pot stew spread all over the country, leaving the Northeast's cold noodles is still neglected.

But now, looking at Chen Xiuyu's bowl of cold noodles, Lu Lu suddenly felt that his Yangchun noodles were no longer delicious.

"How about making me a bowl too?"

Lu Lu looked helplessly at the big bowl of cold noodles in front of Chen Xiuyu, and couldn't help swallowing.

Chen Xiuyu smiled brightly, and pushed her cold noodles in front of Lu Lu: "You eat first."

She herself took Lu Lu's Yangchun noodles back to the kitchen to re-arrange the dishes.

Lu Lu was not polite, and moved his chopsticks directly at the bowl of cold noodles.

Only then did he realize that he prefers the wonderful cold noodles in Northeast China to the blandness of Yangchun noodles.

This human relationship is cold and warm, and it is probably the same.

He suddenly realized that he should have come here for this splendor, some things should be discarded.

Chen Xiuyu came back with noodles that had been rearranged to become nondescript, and she smiled happily when she saw Lu Lu wolfing down the noodles with great enjoyment.

In the past few days after entering the mountain, Lu Lu didn't sleep well. After eating enough, he took a bath, climbed onto the kang before it was dark, and soon fell asleep.

He didn't have the horror of being chased by jackals, and he didn't have the nightmare of the cannon egg that almost killed him. This time, he slept peacefully.

When I woke up, the sun was already high, and I was refreshed.

When Lu Lu got off the kang and walked towards the small river with washing tools, he saw Chen Xiuyu leading Wang Yan and Pu Guiying, taking out bags of hazelnuts that had been fermented in the cellar, and placed them on the ground. A large piece of nylon cloth is spread in front of the cellar, and each one is waving a short stick to knock out buds.

Seeing Lu Lu washing up by the river, Pu Guiying looked at Chen Xiuyu with a sly smile on her face: "Sister Yu, look at you tired brother-in-law, you only wake up at this hour, can't you take it easy!"

"You son of a bitch, what are you talking about? Brother Lu has been in the mountains for a few days and hasn't had a good night's sleep. It's hard to get back home, of course you have to make up for it!" Chen Xiuyu said to her open-mouthed sister. Rolled his eyes.

"Yo yo, I'm too embarrassed to admit it, so you can just say it, how many times did you toss last night?"

Pu Guiying said with a smile: "The last time Yanzi and I lived in your big kang, my brother-in-law came back at night, and the two of you went into the bedroom. We are all listening, right Yanzi!"

Wang Yan blushed: "I didn't hear anything, I fell asleep."

"Yingzi, are you crazy about men? People from Xing'an Village in Hegang came to propose marriage. I heard that the conditions are good, so you should agree. Get married early. You can make as many troubles as you want in one night." Time!" Chen Xiuyu also joked with a smile.

"The conditions are good, but it's too far away from us. When we get there, I don't have any acquaintances. I don't know how I lived that day. Besides, their family doesn't have a big house like yours... I'll wait." Let's talk about it, what if there are some young talents around here who can afford to build such a big house, and they just like me..."

Pu Guiying looked like a nympho, and turned her head to look at Wang Yan: "It's better to be a lucky swallow. Brother Qing has been thinking about it for a long time. Next year, when Brother Qing builds his big house, he will be able to enjoy the blessings, don't you think?" ,swallow?"

Wang Yan's face turned red all of a sudden: "Sister Ying, don't talk nonsense!"

"Hey, I'm sorry, don't think we don't know, some people, I'm afraid they hide in the quilt and laugh every day! How many times have you been tossing in your dreams?"

Pu Guiying didn't mean to let Wang Yan go, the more she said, the more she spoke.

These words made Chen Xiuyu and Wang Yan feel a little overwhelmed, they looked at each other in blank dismay.

Chen Xiuyu pushed Pu Guiying and said in a low voice, "Yingzi, why didn't I find you so coquettish before?"

Wang Yan also nodded in agreement, and whispered: "Sao!"

Pu Guiying curled her lips: "Prudish..."

Lu Lu, who was squatting by the small river to wash, never imagined that building a wood-carved alcove by himself would change a girl's mind so much.

In her previous life, Pu Guiying was married to Xing'an Village on the other side of Hegang, but in this life, she seems to have rejected her.

After washing, Lu Lu took the things back to the house, and went to the cellar to watch Chen Xiuyu and the three of them work on the hazelnuts. Lu Lu told Chen Xiuyu how to ferment and remove the buds, and they worked very well.

Picking up some hazelnuts from the nylon cloth and holding them, Lu Lu sent them to the small river to wash away the impurities, and directly sent one to his mouth to bite open, peeled the hazelnuts and ate them.

Hazelnuts can be eaten raw or fried.It's two completely different flavors.

It is sweet when eaten raw, but it is very fragrant when fried, and has a good effect on strengthening the stomach.

At the same time, hazelnut kernels can also be used to make some snacks and stewed dishes, which is a rare good thing.

While eating, Lu Lu walked into the meadow, carefully looking at the mountains and forest slopes on both sides of the meadow.

The deer is indeed a solitary guest, completely out of gregariousness, and avoids each other far away.Fortunately, the two roe deer that were put in yesterday are still fine.

Although he still looks a little sluggish, his overall condition is much better than yesterday, at least he is eating.

The happiest may be the buck.

It had already mixed into the herd of deer, and when Lu Lu saw it, it was riding a deer in the woods.

Just being frightened by Lu Lu's arrival, he ran into the woods a few times.

Lu Lu hurriedly glanced at them, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong, he retreated, not to interfere with their good deeds.

Afterwards, he went around the fence around the meadow again, and found no damage to the fence, so he returned to the basement and helped Chen Xiuyu and the others sort out the budding hazelnuts.

Seeing Lu Lu coming over, the three people who were talking just now fell silent.

"Brother Lu, you go home and rest, we women can do this kind of thing!"

Chen Xiuyu was worried that Lu Lv would be laughed at by her two sisters for doing this.

"It's all work, what's the difference between men and women, isn't it all the same, if you can do it, why can't I do it!"

Lu Lu replied simply, and the sorting at hand kept going.

However, he soon discovered that when he was working with the three of them, the two little girls couldn't let go, and he always felt a little awkward.

So, after lunch, he didn't bother with this matter anymore, he put on his shotgun, and prepared to go to the back of Xiushan Village to get some small animals, and the most important thing was to go to see his field. crops.

As soon as the six dogs saw Lu Lu walking out of the fence with a gun in his arms, they immediately trotted to follow.

During this period of time, after the militiamen were mobilized to drive out the wild animals, the autumn guard team was still patrolling every day.

However, the big wild animals were beaten or driven into the deep mountains, jumping cats and pheasants were beaten with traps and clips a lot, but chipmunks and greyhounds who love to eat pine nuts and hazelnuts are in the woods It does happen from time to time.

Lu Lu took a slingshot and walked all the way. When he arrived at Xiushan Tunhou Mountain, there were already two chipmunks and four greyhounds in his hunting bag.

Following Xiushan Tunhou Mountain, all the way down to his own corn field, after walking around in it, Lu Lu found that only a small area was harmed by badgers, and everything else was good.

He searched along the marks left by the badger, and found the badger hole in the woods on the ground, but someone had already dug it out first.

This thing is worth more than a month's wages if you catch it.

The crops on the black soil, with sufficient nutrition, the corn grows very well. According to preliminary estimates, there will be a good harvest in October.

He picked more than a dozen corns and broke them off to put them in his hunting bag. By the way, he chopped off two corn stalks with a hunting knife and ate them like sugarcane. He walked down the mountain road to see his rice fields.

In the evening, he was ready to eat these corn cobs.

Whether boiled, grilled or sautéed, this corn is sure to impress with its flavor.Also, grinding these fresh and tender corns into a paste and baking them into corn cakes in an iron pan is another sweetness.

Unlike the later generations, the corn is almost planted without the smell of corn.

All the way down to Xiushan Tuntunkou, and then to the lower river ditch, he chewed up the two very sweet corn stalks in Lu Lu's hand.

At this time, the rice fields on both sides of the river were golden everywhere, and they were full of heavily bent ears of rice that swayed with the mountain wind.

On the ridge, several children were running around inside, catching grasshoppers.

Grasshoppers in this season are also the most plump. Take them back, rinse them, remove their wings, and fry them in oil. It is definitely a rare snack for children.

Even without oil, it can be stir-fried very fragrant in the pan.

I'm ashamed to say that Lu Lu didn't take much care of the three-acre rice field after planting seedlings.

At the beginning, Zhang Shaofeng helped to watch. After marrying Chen Xiuyu, Chen Xiuyu mainly took care of the fields, and the number of times he came to the fields by himself was very few.

When he was checking his rice along the ridge of the field, Zhang Shaofeng led the twins out of nowhere.

"Brother Feng, are you so free?" Lu Lu looked at Zhang Shaofeng who was walking along the ridge and asked with a smile.

"There's nothing to do today, the two kids wanted to eat grasshoppers, so I led them out to catch them." Zhang Shaofeng laughed.

In the hands of the two children, each carried a lot of grasshoppers on straw poles, each of which was still kicking its long legs.

"Didn't go to school today?"

"Sunday, what school do you go to?"

Zhang Shaofeng said, and sat down on the ridge of the field.

Lu Lu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that his life was so miserable that he didn't know which day it was.

He also sat down beside him: "How is your rice?"

"It's okay, I paid the public rations this year, and there's still a lot left, so I can have a few good meals of rice."

Zhang Shaofeng looked back at the paddy fields that Lu Lu had drained to dry and waited to be harvested: "Your ones are not bad either."

After a pause, he continued: "The day before yesterday, someone came to the village to look for you, and even went to your house. Didn't they meet anyone?"

Lu Lu was slightly stunned: "No! I was still in the mountains the day before yesterday, and Xiuyu and the others went into the mountain to pick hazelnuts. There is no one at home. Brother Feng, who is it?"

"It's the farm manager of the farm where you used to be an educated youth, what's your name..." Zhang Shaofeng scratched his head, "Why can't I remember all of a sudden."

"Raymond?" The only person Lu Lu could think of coming from the farm was Raymond.

"That's right...it's Raymond. He said that the farm is about to harvest in autumn, so he came here to find some staff, so he stopped by to see you!"

Lu Lu patted his head: "Why did I miss it... What else did he say?"

"I asked about your situation. I know that you are doing well with us. You look very happy. I think you are a very good person. You have to go back and have a look!"

"Let's go when the rice is cut!" Lu Lu nodded.
