At lunchtime, everyone felt particularly comfortable eating.
There is a pot full of egg shredded wolfberry sprout balls. Although the seventh cousin said that the big pot dish looks average, but as far as everyone can see...the green wolfberry sprouts and the yellow shredded egg are also 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 stroll 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 this grows in someone's 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.
But asking the Seventh Cousin to come and see it is simply ignorant——
"Water hyacinth and tofu soup, so fresh and tender."
"Besides, look at this tender meat. It's obviously better than the ones carefully cultivated by others, and the taste is guaranteed to be the same. If you don't know how to eat it 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 a soup with lard and ginger slices. I'm sure you'll be able to drink them all."
Only then did Song Tan remember - 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 agreed immediately: "Cousin, we will eat whatever you do."
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 running out of gas. By the way, I'm going to pick up two kilograms of water tofu and make soup at noon."
With water hyacinth, there was no need to make the originally planned rapeseed flower rice soup. After thinking about it for a while, the seventh cousin simply mixed it with wild onions.
Just pick whatever is left and stew the meat.
This meal was so satisfying that Feng Juan Can Yun was extremely satisfied. Just looking at the menu, foodie Zhang Yanping felt that he had gained a lot of knowledge.
Not to mention the people in the family - 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.
It was just drizzle at first, but now the clouds in the sky are getting heavier and heavier, as if heavy rain is right in front of us.
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 the Tea Mountain 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.
But as a standard rural person, Wulan 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 the 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 prepared the tools:
"Cousin, I'll go to your house first to see what needs repairing."
Old houses in rural areas, even if they are just adobe houses, will remain as strong as ever for decades as long as there are people living there.
But once the house is empty, regardless of whether it is reinforced concrete or concrete, it will not take long for the house to start to have problems——
As the old saying goes, a house also needs popularity to maintain it.
Since the seventh cousin and grandma moved to the city, they would only come back for a few days during holidays and festivals. The houses were just makeshift and had not been repaired for many years.
Song Sancheng had already made a plan: He would teach Qiao Qiao seriously and if he couldn't do it alone in the afternoon, he would invite a few more people to help him, so that his seventh cousin could live comfortably at home!
Where is the seventh cousin?
He was not idle either, and now went to rummage through the freezer of Song Tan's house: "There are quite a lot of vegetables and peppers in the kitchen. Let me see if there are any other meaty ones. When I do farm work, if I don't eat something oily and watery, I 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 came here, they would probably wonder if it was 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, so now the straws are all the same, neat and bright.
At the door of the dog house, in an old and outdated large enamel basin with white background and red flowers, the dog food was licked clean.
There was 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's wrong with eating leftovers? He loves to eat leftovers, and the leftovers 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!
Anyway, there is still a lot of dog food I got from the previous owner, so 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, she couldn't help but touch his smooth and shiny fur:
"My lord, are you always cheating Qiao Qiao? Why do I feel like you have grown taller again?"
The king's tail stiffened for a moment, then shook it as if nothing had happened.
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 with 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, now burying his head in the basin more and more.
At the same time, he kept using his nose to try to push away the Dabai who was trying to grab food. Dabai's long neck and flat mouth were trying to find a way to get rid of it.
Don’t tell me, it’s really interesting!
Song Tan couldn't hold it back for a moment, so she took a video of the food snatching and posted it to her 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?"
"Are you considering putting more burdens on yourself during the exam?"
