The lunch was in full swing. Looking at the boxes of empty beer bottles, the fourth uncle and his family were all smiling and packed up the tables, chairs and benches. There was nothing going on in the afternoon, so Li Feng didn’t go over to join in the fun. Many customers went back in the afternoon, and Li Feng’s business was good.
, watermelon, and cantaloupe sold a lot. As for Mengmeng and the other little girls having fun in Hewanzi, Tongtong would make a fuss at noon and not want to go home. Mengmeng was very awesome and said that she would sleep with Tongtong.
It made everyone laugh.
The breeze is blowing the lotus leaves, and there is a faint fragrance of lotus. I brew a pot of herbal tea, lean on the lounge chair and take a nap. A few sparrows are jumping around on the peach tree, playing, and cicadas are chirping. The purity of the afternoon, accompanied by a trace of movement, becomes more and more...
Qingming Festival. After sleeping for a while, I thought that the cool bed at home was much more comfortable than the recliner.
The summer bed was left by Grandpa Li Feng. The datewood bed is made of logs, with holes drilled and hemp ropes threaded through it. It is comfortable to lie on, ventilated and cool, so it is suitable for summer.
Li Feng thought about it. After returning to the old house, Li Feng moved out the bed, washed it, and tried to see if the hemp rope could bear the load. Not to mention, the hemp thread was really good, except for a few loose ones. Li Feng found the rope, connected it, and tied it.
It feels good. I tried it while lying down and spread it on a reed mat. It felt good.
This was done in Taolin. Li Feng lay on it with his eyes closed and said, "It's great." Unfortunately, after a while, Mengmeng, Lingdang, and Tongtong were carrying little red buckets full of crayfish. They were watching.
Li Feng was lying on the small bed, and his daughters' eyes lit up and they ran over. Li Feng was helpless and gave up the small bed and greeted Zhao Jianguo and Xue Qing. The elderly people behind him didn't expect that they bought their own koi last time.
Two retired teachers.
"Teacher Tang, Teacher Zhou is here, please hurry up, please sit down quickly." Li Feng looked at many people behind him, including the little boy and his parents from last time. "Pengpeng is here." There were about ten people, but fortunately his own little boy
There were many stools and the place was spacious. I asked a few people to sit down, took out a more than ten kilograms of flower-skinned watermelon, and slaughtered it for everyone to eat.
"Yes, the melons here taste better. They are much more authentic than those in the city." Teacher Tang helped Teacher Zhou take a piece of watermelon and took a bite himself. Not to mention, this melon has enough sugar and tastes good. The red sand melon
Not to mention how good it tastes. A few people on the side also nodded their heads. These people ate it and talked about it authentically.
"Yeah, uncle's melons are the most delicious." Pengpeng smacked his mouth and ate with gusto. As for Tongtong, Mengmeng, Lingdang and the other little girls, they were not in the mood to eat the melons, so they were rolling around on the bed. Pengpeng
Peng looked envious and glanced at it from time to time. He had never seen the small summer bed being so popular.
It is mainly a bed frame made of whole wood, with round wooden legs and a wooden frame. It is soft and soft to lie on, which is much more comfortable than a hammock. A few old people looked at it, and they were a little jealous. Most of these old people had been to the countryside and knew about it.
I have rarely seen these things in recent years. I never thought there was one in Li Feng's house. Mr. Lin said it last time when he saw it.
"This bed is a rare thing these days." Teacher Zhou looked at it and said with emotion. In those years, sleeping in a cowshed, a wooden bed, or a cool bed in the countryside was a rare luxury.
What they talked about became a gathering for the old people to reminisce about their sorrows and sweet things. Really, Li Feng and a few young people looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Li Feng watched the conversation going on for a while, and some of the young people beside him were a little boring.
Li Feng stood up and said with a smile that most of the people came here to buy some fruits, and Li Feng had prepared them early.
A few people bought some watermelons, crispy melons, and cantaloupe, and sent a few people out. Only Tongtong's family, Pengpeng's family, a few old people, and Teacher Tang and Teacher Zhou were left here.
Two little kids, Pengpeng and Tongtong, followed Mengmeng and Lingdang around the pond, looking for cicada holes. Seeing Mengmeng acting like a little teacher, Li Feng shook his head and chuckled, this girl is really a teacher.
The addiction is really quite big. Li Feng made a pot of tea, served it, and sat on the edge listening to several old people talking about the past years, passion and dreams, plainness and fulfillment, or hardship or fun.
The various tastes of life, the ups and downs, the indifference and vicissitudes of life for those who have experienced it, the young people will not be able to experience it in their lifetime. At least, Li Feng felt that he was too far away, listening to Mengmeng calling him, he quickly got up, Zhao Jianguo and his wife
Pengpeng's parents stood up next to them, and several elderly people looked at them with faint wry smiles.
"What's wrong? This is?" Li Feng looked at the cicada in Mengmeng's hand and was happy. This is Qiu Zhizhi, only one-third the size of Xia Zhizhi. Li Feng gave a few longing looks at him.
The little boy explained that spring, summer, autumn and winter are different. In spring there is a "spring cicada", which shouts "Wake up - wake up" when it chirps; in summer there is a "summer cicada", which shouts "It's so hot -"
"It's so hot", "I understand - I understand"; in autumn there is the "Autumn Cicada", which shouts "I've taken it - I've taken it" when it chirps; in the winter there is the "Winter Cicada", which shouts "It's over -" when it chirps.
—It’s over.”
The summer cicada is the largest, while the other three season cicadas are quite small and very rare. They are the largest in number. Their cicadas are big and their cicadas sound like "squeak" in a continuous and long sound. The sound is monotonous but loud. They like to resonate with their friends.
, and the only one that can be eaten. As for the autumn cicada in my hand, its cry is beautiful and rhythmic, which is quite rare. The cute little girls listened to what Li Feng said, opened their eyes wide, and connected with the few on the side.
This is also the first time for an adult to know that cicadas have such knowledge.
"Well, Mengmeng needs to keep it." Mengmeng carefully put it away. The little carrot heads next to her were looking at it with envy. Mengmeng carefully put the cicadas in a small bottle and put it in her pocket.
"I want it too, dad, I want it too." Tongtong looked at Mengmeng full of envy and ran to Zhao Jianguo's side, Buyi shook Zhao Jianguo's arm.
"Okay, okay, dad will help you find it." Zhao Jianguo smiled bitterly and shook his head. Pengpeng looked at Tongtong and walked to his parents, full of expectation. He looked at Li Feng with bells in his eyes full of longing.
"Brother Li, look, where can we dig up cicadas like this?" The parents of the two families looked for Li Feng with some distress. At this time, Li Feng could only smile bitterly and shake his head. How could there be so many cicadas? He shook his head with a wry smile.
I accompanied a few people to search for a long time, and got a lot of summer cicadas. I fried them and ate enough.
Li Feng looked at Tongtong and Pengpeng, noisy and helpless. He was thinking about cooking corn at night. When Li Feng talked about corn, the eyes of several little guys lit up and they jumped and clapped their hands. The eyes of several adults lit up and they started chatting.
As soon as the old man heard this, several people followed Li Feng, carrying bamboo baskets and baskets.
Li Feng's corn was grown early, and it grew better than other corns. He watched a few children chatting and laughing all the way. It was rare for adults to be so relaxed and at ease. The stream on the roadside was crystal clear, and a few fish were swimming freely.
.The cool breeze blows under the shade of the trees, making people lazy. Along the path, butterflies, furballs, and fat boys play, and in the blink of an eye they come to the corn.
From a distance, I looked at the corn stalks as tall as one person, the green corn leaves, the corn stalks that were already purple and withered. Mengmeng, Tongtong, Pengpeng, and Bells ran into the field screaming, if not for Li Feng’s timely intervention.
Stop, these villains have already broken off the corn.
Identifying corn is actually quite simple. The method taught by Li Feng is the cheapest. If you touch it with your hands, the grains will be plump. Now the cooked ones are boiled and eaten, and the tender and crispy ones are made into corn soup. It is delicious. Li Feng is thinking of hosting a corn feast tonight.
Everyone.
The laughter in the green gauze tent, the crisp sound of bells, the hearty laughter of the old man, Li Feng looked at the busy people on the side with a smile. The city people passing by looked at it, stopped, and looked at the plump corn kernels.
A few people paid for it and wanted to buy some. Li Feng didn't say anything. He just broke off the corn for three yuan for one dollar. After a while, he had forty or fifty yuan more in his hand. He didn't say anything, the corn was plump and tender, and it was the best time to eat it.
In the city, one cost less than one yuan, and it is not as fresh and as big as here. Many people took some back with them before leaving. Li Feng just watched an older brother buy more than 30 sticks for ten yuan, and he asked so many questions.
How to eat it? People joked that their son likes to eat corn, but it is usually too expensive in the supermarket. Now that his son is home during the holidays, he takes advantage of the opportunity to buy more while it is cheap, and waits for his son to come back to eat enough.
Not to mention, Tongtong, Pengpeng, and Teacher Zhou each got dozens of cicadas before leaving. Li Feng put cicadas, melons, melons, and corn into bamboo baskets and sent them to the car together. Bamboo baskets are easy to make,
It took me a long time to make up quite a few of them, but I didn’t expect that some children would like them. If someone bought something like this, they wouldn’t be reluctant to part with it as a gift.
For dinner, Li Feng started to cook the corn. Boiling the corn is the easiest. Just peel the corn husks, wash them and put them in the back pot and fill them with water. In the pond, he used a fishing net to pull out a lot of fish and shrimps, meat skewers, lying in the ditch, and small crucian carp.
, Ge Ya Zi, rice shrimp and other small fish and shrimps, make whole fish. The green onion, ginger and garlic burst out the fragrance, add the collected small fish and shrimp, add water, add various seasonings, absolutely delicious, yellow, orange and orange corn batter paste, along with
Paste the rim of the pot into corn tortillas, and make several pots. It is crispy, and young children love it most. As for the elderly, paste it into thick pancakes, or add some flour to make water pancakes. The meat tendons are fragrant with fish and shrimp.
, with a few oil stars hanging on it, it tastes unspeakably delicious.
The most popular one is Li Feng's Corn Roast in Car. As soon as it was served, Mengmeng and Ling Dang didn't talk about it, and several girls looked at it without even blinking. The sweet smell of corn was gone in just one plate of Li Feng's blink.
Ying, Mengmeng and Lingdang didn't eat well and pestered Li Feng to shake them. Finally, Li Feng smiled bitterly and made another portion, and that was the end of the matter.
The last dish, corn beef soup, is Li Feng's favorite. It consists of tender corn, beef cubes, soft tofu, toon leaves, Qianzhang shreds, thickening, and sprinkled with some coriander to enhance the flavor. No one will drink a bowl of it, it is so beautiful.
"It won't work, it won't work. Li Feng, you are so good at your craftsmanship. I don't think it will take long for me to turn into a little fat woman." Xiaoqing and the other girls lost their image, and several old people also nodded in praise.
"Haha, of course a cup of tea after a meal is indispensable. It will clear your stomach and intestines and make sure you are slim." Make a pot of green tea and watch the TV. The family talks and laughs. Mengmeng and Lingdang carry a small bucket to feed the egrets.
, the two guys took samples, flapping their wings and making everyone laugh.

I'm not feeling well today. I may update it and make up for it tomorrow.
