There had just been a shower in the mountain village in the morning, and the air was clear.
The tea room on the second floor is half indoor and half outdoor. The outdoor part is blocked by a few big trees in front of the yard from the scorching sun. It also holds a large fixed parasol. There is a gentle breeze and it does not feel very hot at noon in midsummer.
.
Xu Suizhu put away her luggage, washed her face, and went downstairs with Mr. Lu refreshed. She found that the men and children were not there, so she asked Lin Yujuan, who arrived at the tea room first: "Where are the children?"
"Xiao Yi is still in the room. He refuses to come down until he has completed his study tasks today. The other children...here, they are playing in the water by the stream."
The side balcony of the teahouse can see all the way to the pavilion on the mountain. The gurgling stream flows down the slope from the stone wall behind the pavilion to the small fish pond in the backyard of the farmhouse.
The children first played with the little macaque in the shade of the tree. As soon as the monkey jumped up the tree, the children didn't even wait for it to come down, so they squatted by the fish pond and watched the fish.
Little Baozi introduced "Xiao Hei" and "Xiao Hong" in the fish pond to the friends who came to the farmhouse for the first time. Although they may not be the two black carp and red carp he named them after, it does not hinder the children.
We believe it, "Little Black" and "Little Red" are lying next to the pool shouting excitedly.
Then someone mentioned something like "I want to go up the mountain to catch fish in the stream." The other children agreed and went up the mountain in a hurry.
Wang Youzhi, Mr. Fu, Li Tao, and Mr. Liang, a few men who had nothing to do, followed, of course out of protection for the children.
With men following them, the women no longer worried and sat down to make tea and eat melon seeds.
Lu Chixiao sat next to his mother at first, peeling melon seeds for her, but later he met all female compatriots, his mother, his sister-in-law, Xu Fenfen, Chef Jiang... After thinking about it, he decided to go up the mountain to play with his son.
After he left, Lin Yujuan stuck out her tongue at Xu Suizhu: "Brother Xiao is probably scolding us in his heart, because our light bulbs are so bright that they can blind his eyes."
"You just know?" Xu Suizhu teased her.
While they were joking, Mrs. Li and her daughter also came down from upstairs.
"Why don't you go play with Jiujiu?" Teacher Xu saw Jiujiu walking in cutely and cutely being led by Mrs. Li. She was still wearing the same ancient gauze skirt she had put on before. She couldn't help laughing and said, "Yes, this skirt is really good for hiking.
not very convenient."
"Just now Xiaoyu shouted downstairs to go catch fish in the mountains. I asked Jiujiu if she wanted to go. If she wanted to go, she would change into shorts. She refused to change or go downstairs. She just took a picture in front of the mirror. It was so beautiful.
!”
Looking at her daughter who was leaning on the balcony railing and looking at the fish pond in the backyard, Mrs. Li couldn't stop laughing. She praised Xu Suizhu more than once for giving the right gift. There is no girl who doesn't like the pink and waxy gauze skirt.
"My daughter is expected to have another two years." Lin Yujuan couldn't help but roll her eyes when she thought of her naughty daughter, "Now she is just a tomboy, following Xiao Yu and An An around all day long, and riding her daddy when she's tired.
There is nothing ladylike about her neck. She has not inherited my character at all. I was quite a lady when I was a child..."
Xu Suizhu took the lead and laughed, "Well, you are quite a lady now that you are older. I remember that year at the gate of the Forbidden City..."
"Sister-in-law, please spare me!"
She didn't want to mention that dark history again.
Although Xu Fenfen joined late, he was from Kyoto after all, and he was from the same circle, so he had heard of Sister Lin's "heroic deeds" of chasing Lu Chixiao in the early years but was repeatedly defeated.
But Mrs. Li and Wang Youzhi's wife didn't know. They chased Lin Yujuan and asked, "What's the matter? What's the matter? Let me tell you."
"No, no, I can't do it anymore!" Lin Yujuan insisted not to say.
Mrs. Li sat next to her and scratched her crotch.
They laughed at each other.
Fortunately, the children came back from fishing, and Little Baozi ran upstairs with the iron bucket full of harvest to show off: "Mom, mom, look at the fish and shrimp I caught."
"Wow! So many? Are they all caught by Xiaoyu?"
Mrs. Lu always admires her grandson very much.
Xu Suizhu smiled and looked around, Huo! There are quite a few.
"Hey, are there crayfish here?"
"Mom, there are many people catching this shrimp in the pond over there. I found it in the crack of the rocks by the stream. It has big pincers, which are very sharp as you can see! Even Xiaomao is afraid of it, but I am not afraid! Do you like to eat it?
I can catch it again." Little Baozi patted his chest, as if Xu Suizhu said "I like it" and would immediately rush up the mountain to "fight" again.
"Xiao Yu, you are really like your father!" Lin Yujuan gave a thumbs up to the little bun.
He is simply the trumpet brother Xiao, who revolves around Teacher Xu in everything.
Little Baozi didn't understand: "Milk puffs? My mother can make puffs, but she has never made puff puffs. Mom, what is puff puffs?"
"Hahahahaha... I can't do it anymore, my stomach hurts!"
Sister Lin, who had just escaped from Mrs. Li's "devil's claws", was laughing so hard that she couldn't bear it.
However, Xu Suizhu saw the spicy lobster pot and thirteen-flavored crayfish from the crayfish that became popular in the late night snack world in later generations, and asked everyone: "Do you want to try it?"
"I've seen this shrimp in the market. It costs one yuan a pound. The locals catch it and sell it to make extra money. However, it is said that this shrimp likes smelly ditches. The dirtier it is, the easier it is to survive. I didn't let the cook buy it. And don't do it."
Judging from the size, if the head and shell are removed, the meat is just a little bit, so it might as well be eating river shrimp." Mrs. Lu shook her head.
"Actually, crayfish likes clean water. The reason why we see it in smelly ditches is because it has to grow in a cool and humid living environment. After losing access to clean water, it had no choice but to make a living in smelly ditches, so as not to
It is baked dry by the strong sun. This is just the nature of animals to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Because it has a strong growth ability, as long as there is a little water, it can survive even in mud puddles. Therefore, the crayfish caught in the mountain stream
Just like ordinary shrimp, it is relatively clean and has high protein."
As he spoke, Xu Suizhu pinched the back of one of the lobsters and held it in his hand to show everyone:
"It's really easy for parasites to breed in its gills, so before burning, you have to remove the intestines from the head and brush them clean. When burning, they have to be cooked thoroughly. Then there will be no problem."
She was so busy this year that she didn't have time to go to the market. When she got home from get off work, she would eat whatever was on the table.
My parents-in-law attach great importance to health care, and the catchphrase they often talk about is "live to ninety-nine and have a fat great-grandchild" - Little Baozi is under a lot of pressure, so the dishes cooked by the cook are quite satisfactory. In my impression, he is still the third
Saw crayfish once.
Also, when crayfish first became popular, it was in the night markets and snack streets in Guangcheng and Shenzhen. Later, with the advent of Sichuan-style spicy crayfish and Xuyi’s thirteen-flavor crayfish, they were lucky enough to be eaten in high-end hotels.
In the evening, we boarded the elegant hall of Zhengtong Hotel.
Since then, there have been more and more crayfish of various brands, with more and more flavors and ways to eat them, completely transforming the status of "invader" into a national delicacy.
