No soap was used because it was necessary to protect the water source. The lower reaches of the creek merged into the dense forest, and it was said that a beautiful lake was formed. Dan said that everyone could meet up to go fishing when they had time. This was one of his few ways of entertainment.
After taking a bath, Nobby came back quietly without any notice from the three of them.
At one point, Zhou Yisheng had the illusion that a little girl was peeping in the dark.
Well, maybe it was Nobby's two brothers who were tipping off the news.
The two little guys are very well-behaved. They are different from the naughty children in China. Looking at them, Zhou Yisheng reminds me of Jie Laer. It seems that the local children are more mature and sensible. As far as innocence is concerned, Zhou Yisheng doesn't like this very much.
child.
But how can one hate an obedient child?
"Want to eat?" Mr. Zhou handed out the tomatoes to the two children. They were the ingredients for tonight's main course, but the quantity was sufficient.
The two children's eyes were shining. They wanted to take it but didn't dare. In the end, Zhou Sheng stuffed it into their hands and made signs of eating it.
Then the two children took one, broke each of them in half, and gave the remaining one to Nobby.
Xiaohei Rangqie, what a touching picture.
The snacks for one and two people were so novel that Zhou Shengsheng thought they had never eaten this before. He couldn't help but ask Asang Dan: "They haven't eaten it before?"
Dan smiled and nodded, while Asang reacted greatly. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't want to be too obvious. He whispered: "Do you know what you gave away? The price of a pound of tomatoes is higher than that of a pound.
Lobster, if they can eat it, they will be in trouble."
???
Is a pound of tomatoes more expensive than a pound of lobster?
Zhou Shengsheng felt that he seemed to have discovered a business opportunity. Should he come from China to exchange things for things to make a fortune? He was really a business genius.
"The country of origin of tomatoes is..."
Dan said: "America, I thought it was Africa at first, until I found that it is difficult to buy tomatoes here. The reason for the high price is normal. One is the alien species, and the other is the local agricultural level is extremely low, which is no better than the medical level."
go."
Asang believed deeply: "These things are all imported. Before our family planted tobacco, we made money by growing vegetables. I once wanted to cultivate this thing, but unfortunately the yield was low and the seeds were not suitable. But I heard that recently
There are Chinese agricultural companies that have opened up farmland in Africa and successfully cultivated tomatoes.”
All right.
Seeing the two people's strange expressions, Zhou Shengsheng also felt embarrassed, but he couldn't say he felt sorry for his child.
"It seems that I have to put my cooking skills to good use tonight, and I can't let these precious ingredients go to waste."
The dishes to be cooked on Monday are clear at a glance.
Chinese people can never forget a dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes wherever they go.
Maybe, we can find some more beef and have a beef stew with tomatoes?
As I thought about it, my mouth watered and I washed the dishes faster.
After finishing their work, everyone returned.
The time was just right, and the indigenous people in the tribe were also preparing dinner, because after sunset, nothing could be seen, and eating might not be affected, but it had to be done well.
Surprisingly...
Nobby told a few people another piece of good news: "Today is Moon Festival, you can come to the bonfire party."
Only then did Dan suddenly realize: "No wonder the cow was killed."
Moon Festival is a kind of festival of the tribe. It is not celebrated once a month, but once a quarter. The tribe's date division is not the same as that of the outside world. All in all, it is a festive and important day.
"Then let's share, take out half of the sausages, plus last week's dishes... It's hard to put the vegetables, so let's do it all at once. It's not easy for them to have a delicious meal, and we can't let them have less fun just because we join in.
"
There is a sense of planned life in the tribe. Even on major festivals, people cannot eat openly. Dan takes human relations and worldly considerations into consideration very carefully.
As for Asang, he doesn't care even more...
Really? African chieftain.
The rich are here.
Just some ingredients, no need to worry at all.
On the eve of the bonfire banquet, the whole family rejoices.
All the aborigines had smiles on their faces. Children were running around telling each other that there would be delicious food in the evening. The atmosphere was contagious and made Zhou Sheng and others very happy.
Nobby took Zhou Sheng to the centralized fire area to handle the ingredients, including cooking the sausages.
Anyway, Dan is not picky about food. He said that those sausages can be eaten after being boiled. There is no cooking method. It can be seen from the beef he cooked in the morning. It is very casual and the original flavor is a bit too much.
Zhou Sheng has a lot to do, because he has to make three dishes, sausages, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, beef stew with tomatoes...the portions should not be small, and this is a job that tests his cooking skills.
It’s not easy to make big pot rice…
Fortunately, he had developed his cooking skills. During his five years in college, he bought so many bullfrog dissections, pork, kidneys, and livers to practice his medical skills. He could never throw them away directly after using them. A good family education taught him to be frugal.
He has both medical and culinary skills.
A medical monk who cannot cook is not a good cook.
As for Dan and Assan, they had to solve the problem of caring for the patients first, and they would definitely have to drink in the evening. Assan brought them dry red wine, a fine wine produced locally. African red wine also enjoys a reputation around the world.
Fire concentration area.
Zhou Sheng stands out among a group of aunts and girls, but everyone is friendly and even chats with Zhou Sheng from time to time.
There is probably a situation where a certain family's relatives in the city have returned to the village. They are washing vegetables together by the river and experiencing life. It doesn't matter whether you understand or not, they just open their mouths and say enthusiastically: "What are you doing? Don't you understand? Nen."
What are you doing?"
Then Monday is born::)
Aunt::)
Girl::)
Smile is indeed the best language.
Nobby sometimes translates, but her English is very poor, about the level of a key high school student in China. She can communicate, but it is definitely difficult to translate in detail.
Laughing and making noise, time flies by.
The bonfire party in the evening is held in the centralized living area.
So, while each family was preparing ingredients, the men in the village brought logs and chopped them into suitable sizes on the spot, forming a huge bonfire half as tall as a man.
By the time the bonfire was lit, evening had arrived.
Asang and Dan are here.
"How's it going? Do you need help?"
Zhou Sheng just opened the ostrich eggs. One egg is a large bowl of egg liquid. There are six ostrich eggs in total, which is enough for so many people to share. Only the tomatoes are a bit lacking, but if you add some water when frying, they can also be used.
Bring out the flavor.
"The beef is stewed and the sausages are cooking. Now it's time to stir-fry. I can finish it when they are ready."
Yes.
The men of the tribe carried half a fan of beef and two whole sheep and were preparing to hang them on the bonfire for roasting.
It will definitely take some time before we can start eating.
The people in the village gradually began to gather, and each found a seat to sit down. Some people beat real animal skin African drums and started singing and chanting.
finally……
The sun went down and the bonfire lit up the area.
The aroma of the food is alluring. Even the old chief and the priest seemed to be in a hurry when presiding over the ceremony. They kept looking at the yellow man's stone pot and the constant "sizzling" sound of stir-frying, curious.
Looking...
Stir-fried vegetables are very strange.
There was no oil originally, so Zhou Sheng boiled the animal fat with butter first, and it was so fragrant.
At the end of the sacrificial ceremony, the roasted cattle and sheep were not yet ready, but Zhou Sheng's side was already finished.
Dan looked like a curious baby, squatting next to him and swallowing hard. He couldn't bear the smell: "What is this? Is it delicious? What does it taste like? Can I have a taste?"
Foodies are in a row, and their true nature is undoubtedly exposed.
Zhou Shengsheng said with a smile: "Let's share it with everyone. One plate per person is almost enough. The ostrich eggs are really real."
Asang and Dan took action immediately, filling a large plate for the three of them before filling it for the others.
When this exotic food that had never been seen before was served to everyone, no one hesitated and tried it immediately...
Then, the exclamations came one after another.
Nobby's two younger brothers couldn't believe that the fruit they had eaten in the afternoon had a completely different taste after cooking, and the texture of the ostrich egg was mixed between yarn and tenderness. If they were lucky enough to have eaten crab, they would definitely
There will be some thoughts.
Yes, Zhou Sheng added African wild ginger and crab racing. After being promoted by a variety show, it has long become the mainstream method of making tomatoes and eggs.
“So delicious!”
"I actually cried."
Listening to Asang and Dan's cries, Zhou Shengsheng felt that if he did not become a doctor, it would be a good business to open a Chinese restaurant in Africa.
After tasting the delicacies, the simple aborigines asked the children to bring gifts.
There are berries and dried meat, all piled up around Zhou Sheng...
Zhou Sheng was a little embarrassed, but Dan said it didn't matter, it was normal to reciprocate politely.
A child rolled leaves into cups and brought strange fruit pulp.
This thing is definitely not easy to preserve. Zhou Shengsheng could only accept it and was curious about what the local drink tasted like.
But.
Just when he was about to put it to his mouth...
Snap~!
A hand suddenly reached out from behind and hit his forearm. The pain made him drop the fruit pulp instantly.
"hiss……"
It hurts.
Zhou Sheng was a little angry, and when he wanted to turn around, a figure had already come to his side. His white arms grabbed the shoulders of the child who brought the fruit juice, and spoke softly in the unfamiliar local language.
The child felt a little aggrieved, but nodded, and finally turned around and ran away.
At this time, the man turned around and looked at Zhou Sheng: "Don't try the water and fruit pulp here casually, especially the ones given to you by children. I was once tricked and lay in bed for two weeks. As a doctor, you,
Don’t you know the concepts of parasites and bacteria?”
The firelight cast a blur of light and shadow on the man's face...
She has some baby fat and a man's short and capable hair.
But she is a woman.
Moreover, Zhou Yisheng actually knew T...
Therefore, all the anger disappeared in an instant and was replaced by shock.
"Who are you……"
I haven’t finished speaking on Monday...
The woman sat down next to him, and the pure Mandarin she had just spoken suddenly turned into fluent English, and she said——
"No!"
"I'm not!"
"You admitted your mistake!"
"Is there anything to eat?"
Zhou Sheng hesitated to speak, but when he saw the tired look on the other person's face and the embarrassment all over his body, he turned his eyes to the desire on his dinner plate, and his throat kept rolling with swallowing...
He finally swallowed the words that reached his throat and pointed to his dinner plate: "Tomatoes, eggs, and..."
Wow, the dinner plate on the floor was taken away.
There was no sound, no image at all.
...is it her?
At this time, Zhou Sheng really didn't dare to confirm. There was only one thing he could confirm -
