March 23, the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar.
The weather is warm, the long winter nights are shortening, and dawn is coming earlier. The light shines in the east, passing through Chaoyang Park and shining slantingly into the windows of Palm Springs apartments.
Zhang Yin stayed overnight last night and got up as usual in the morning. She didn't like to go outside and started exercising on the indoor treadmill.
The early morning sunshine was not dazzling, and was soft and comfortable. After a while, I ran five kilometers. Yin Yin's interest did not diminish, and she ran another two kilometers.
Then take a camera and take a picture of the mileage.
After successfully losing weight, she stopped taking photos of her weight. She would not deliberately control her weight at ordinary times and would just maintain the rhythm of exercise. Only when she gained weight like she did during the Chinese New Year, would she specifically lose weight.
I quietly ran to the bedroom, turned on the computer and uploaded the photos. Some people who got up early or were night owls saw it, and there were a few more comments:
"Little chubby girl, hold on, I ran 7 kilometers today, which is awesome!"
"Watching you check in every day can also give yourself some motivation!"
"Why haven't you gained weight? Have you gained it back again?"
"Seriously, I'm really curious about you. Can you send me a photo?"
"..."
Zhang Yin finds it interesting that when many people see the weight of 120 pounds, they subconsciously think that they are a chubby girl instead of thinking that they are very tall.
In fact, even if they can think of it, they can't estimate that they are 181cm.
Now she has more than 2,000 fans, most of whom are classmates and alumni, and probably a few hundred strangers. Most of them are interested in losing weight and use her as a role model.
After browsing the community for a while, she looked at the sleeping naked man and then quietly ran to the kitchen to cook.
As usual, at around 8 o'clock, Commander Yao yawned and got up to pee. He sat down shamelessly at the dining table, and Miami began to spin.
Zhang Yin didn't take it seriously and liked to take care of each other very much, saying: "The record you gave my mother is gone again, and I want to ask you for a few more."
"Okay, I'll send it over tomorrow. Actually, you can just burn that kind of disc yourself."
"You are such a thief, you only got two songs on the market, and no one has seen the entire album. It would be great to have a complete album."
Zhang Yin gave him a slice of ham and said, "I have no class today, where can I go for a walk?"
"See a movie?"
"There haven't been any good movies lately."
"Shopping? Eating? Amusement park? Go to our land?"
Yao Yuan didn't know what was fun, and he didn't want to talk about climbing the Great Wall. He picked up his phone and took a look at it. The 23rd was the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar, and asked: "Is March third special?"
"I do not know."
At this time, the benefits of smartphones are revealed. Just check it and it will be OK. Yao Yuan can only think, think, and think again: "Forget it, ask Baidu!"
With that said, he dialed a number and connected, and Yu Qian's voice came from inside.
"Hello? Brother Qian'er!"
"What? Have you eaten?"
"Oh, I have nothing to do today. I want to go out for a walk with Yinyin, but I don't know where to go."
"I don't know where to go... I just happened to be digging shepherd's purses, will you two go?"
"What are you doing digging shepherd's purse?"
"Tsk! Eat shepherd's purse and boiled eggs on March 3rd!"
Yao Yuan asked Zhang Yin with his eyes. Zhang Yin nodded and said: "Go, wait, we are having dinner!"
He hung up the phone and said with a smile: "I can't find Yu Qian to say goodbye, but there is nothing wrong with eating, drinking and having fun."
"Yeah, if he hadn't told me, I would have forgotten to eat shepherd's purse today. My grandma used to make it for me when I was a kid."
"There is also this thing in the Northeast. We call it shepherd's purse, and it is usually eaten with dipping sauce."
"Eat it with dipping sauce?"
"Dip it with pickles! Doenjang, meat sauce, egg sauce, give us a bowl of sauce, we can eat the entire green belt! Hey, do you know how to make miso?"
"have no idea."
"The soybeans are boiled and put into rectangular sauce cubes. They are first wrapped in newspapers and fermented. After fermentation, they are placed in a vat. They have to be beaten every few days, that is, the vat is tapped."
"Why knock the vat?"
"Because there are maggots inside. If you knock the jar, the maggots will crawl out one after another..."
"Hey! Stop talking!"
"This maggot..."
"oops!"
Zhang Yin took the bowl and ran to the living room to eat.
After eating, the two of them packed up and prepared to go out. To dig wild vegetables, you need tools, and a small shovel is the best. Yao Yuanzhen has a small shovel - used for wild fishing.
I didn't bring anything with me, so I just carried a shovel and fishing tackle downstairs.
Living in Palm Springs, no one digs wild vegetables, and the neighbors were surprised along the way.
Driving to Haidian.
Yu Qian has Yao Yuan to help him. He has made some money in the past two years, but he has not changed his house. He still rents the same old house. He called him, and hey, the couple is so professional.
One person was carrying a big bag, and Yu Qian was carrying fishing gear, and almost moved the tent.
"..."
Yao Yuan and Zhang Yin looked up at the sky. They saw blue sky, white clouds, and warm sunshine. It was a good day for a spring outing, and they felt ashamed.
"What are you getting here for?"
"I made some food. Let's have a picnic at noon. What a great day it is. The tablecloths and baskets I just bought a while ago are just waiting for the picnic. I hope you like them!"
Bai Huiming wears a hat and still looks so cute.
Yu Qian also said: "If it weren't for lack of time, I would also like to make braised pork, but it doesn't matter. Let's catch and eat now. I'm bringing the pot."
"..."
Yao Yuan and Zhang Yin looked at the sky again, feeling even more ashamed.
Zhang Yin blinked, showing a look of envy and longing. She basically knew all of Yao Yuan's friends, and she had frequent contacts with Yu Qian and his wife, and she was the most comfortable with them.
The four of them got in the car and headed to the suburbs.
The spring sun is shining brightly, the ice has melted, and the fishermen who have been waiting all winter are like wild donkeys running out on the prairie, happily occupying various wild rivers, wild lakes, and even puddles around the capital.
After rowing around for several times, we finally found a wild river with relatively few people and green grass on the river bank. The place was just right.
To set up camp, first shovel a shovelful of small stones, cow and sheep dung, etc., sprinkle a circle of realgar powder around it, first lay out two layers of large plastic sheets, and then put on the tablecloths.
A large rattan basket.
Inside are several thermos boxes, as well as bowls, chopsticks and cups.
Yao Yuan and Yu Qian put on the stove, which was a cassette stove with a gas tank. He looked curious and asked, "How old is this thing now?"
"Not many, it seems they have only been available in the past two years. Anyway, I have never seen them before. I thought it was very convenient, so I bought two."
Um!
It seems that outdoor sports and camping are slowly starting to rise from now on.
He suddenly turned around and shouted: "Yin Yin, why don't you take some photos?"
"Ah, I almost forgot!"
Zhang Yin took out her camera and clicked on various novelty gadgets, then took pictures of Bai Huiming, and then ran to the two men fishing to take pictures. Yao Yuan and Yu Qian made gestures in coordination.
Yeah~
After taking the photo, she took a small shovel and dug wild vegetables with Bai Huiming.
Not only shepherd's purse, but also amaranth, wild onions, dandelions, etc. After digging for a while, there was a bag. Bai Huiming said happily: "Hey, are you free tonight?"
"Yes."
"Then come to our house and make dumplings to eat."
"Stuffed with wild vegetables?"
"Well, add more meat!"
"That's delicious. Let's make dumplings together tonight!"
