Chapter 100: Being Alone During the Holidays
With this matter in front of me, let’s not say that Chen Miaomiao is just trying to be the boss. Even if she is really in trouble, she won’t help!
......
It was still rest time the next day. When Lu Miao got up early, he packed up all the things he bought the day before, took some of them and packed them, and then carried bamboo baskets and The package is ready to go.
Ren Bingxin saw her and asked her: "Miaomiao, what are you doing?"
"What else can you do?"
Lu Miao calmly shook his things and said, "Find someone to eat with you and improve the food! Just take care of yourself today, don't wait for me!"
Lu Everyone in the educated youth spot knew that Miao was having a meal with a member of the team, and Ren Bingxin didn't pay much attention to it.
“Go early and come back early. It’s rare to have a good rest.”
“I understand~ you should be busy!”
Lu Miao chuckled and ran out of the house happily.
The busy farming season has just passed. Not only the educated youths had a holiday, but Fu Jingyou also rarely gave himself a two-day holiday.
Yesterday he arranged to go to Yanji, and today he thought Lu Miao was coming, so he simply waited at home attentively.
I originally thought that Lu Miao would not come until ten or eleven o'clock in the morning at the earliest, but how could I have expected that she would already be actively reporting at the backyard gate before nine o'clock?
At that time, Fu Jingyou was tinkering in the vegetable patch in the backyard. The tomatoes he had planted earlier had turned red one after another in the past two days. As he was picking them, he saw Lu Miao carrying large and small bags of tomatoes. Things come in through the back door.
Fu Jingyou stepped out from the vegetable field, "Why do you bring so many things?"
"It's inconvenient for educated youths. They don't have the chance to eat these." Lu Miao disagreed, "They always say that the Southern Tian'er The tide, I'm afraid it's broken, so I thought about bringing it here to eat together."
"Go inside and put down your things for a while."
"Yes."
The two of them went in one after the other. House, Fu Jingyou asked:
"Have you had breakfast?"
The kitchen furnishings are basically as they were when Lu Miao arrived. The lounge chairs, small tables and benches are all "frequent guests".
"Not yet." Lu Miao shook his head, unloaded his things one by one and placed them on the small table, "I'll come over after I get up and pack them up."
Fu Jingyou had a moment of joy, But after that moment, the whole person suddenly became restrained again.
He was secretly annoyed. He had never been like this before. What happened today?
After standing stupidly at the door for a long time, Fu Jingyou reacted belatedly and walked towards the stove eagerly. This meant that he wanted to get something to eat for Lu Miao. Lu Miao was quick and sat on the small bench to catch him in time:
“Hey, don’t do it, I won’t eat it!”
After saying that, he took back his hand and pulled open a bulging cloth bag on the small table, and grabbed a few from it that were as dry as trees. Dried toads look like twigs.
Lu Miao looked at Fu Jingyou with bright eyes: "I have this, it's good stuff. You can help me peel it and soak it, and we will eat it together!"
Fu Jingyou squatted down at the table. , picked up two dried toads and looked carefully, "Are these good things?"
Knowing that he had not been exposed to this, Lu Miao said: "There is no one here in the south, only this one is in the north. Does Northeast China know about it? Northeastern wood frog!"
Yes, it is the wood frog that I bought from Geng Xiaoyun before. , Lu Miao has all been brought here.
It's a pity that Fu Jingyou has only been to the county seat as far as possible. In addition, in this era of limited information, people are not so particular. Lu Miao talked for a long time, but he still looked confused and couldn't understand. .
Lu Miao kicked Fu Jingyou lightly in anger, and said angrily: "Snow Hag, have you ever heard of Snow Hag?"
The corners of Fu Jingyou's lips were raised, and it was rare to show a little bit of it when he smiled. He has neat teeth and looks too naive, too honest: "Just tell me how to do it, and I'll do it."
Lu Miao gave him a look that was both charming and angry, and asked him to take away the things on the small table to make some free space, and then asked him to bring a clean bowl. Lu Miao took the lead in picking up a dried toad and handled it in front of Fu Jingyou as if guiding him.
First break off the two hind legs, and then pull off the shriveled and wrinkled front legs. Lu Miao looked attentive and her fingers were nimble. She pinched the head and tail of a toad in her hand. , and soon only the main part remained.
Carefully peel off the crispy outer skin, and the yellow rock sugar-like snow clam oil and black frog seeds gradually appear inside.
“Did you see this?”
Lu Miao carefully picked out the black frog seeds.
“Yeah.”
Fu Jingyou nodded.
Lu Miao dabs on the frog oil, "This is the seed of the forest frog. We can't have this. We only want this part."
"There won't be much left after a toad is dried in the sun. , peel off this, peel off that, don’t want this?”
Fu Jingyou also ordered some frog oil in the bowl.
Lu Miao laughed out loud. She usually saw too many of his cold faces, but now she was happy to see his tangled and depressed expression, "How about you say that snow clam oil is soft gold?"< br>
Fu Jingyou raised his eyes when he heard this. Lu Miao looked at him, nodded slightly and continued to explain:
"The Northeastern forest frog is also called snow clam. Don't look at it. Toads all look the same, so they think they are the same thing. This one is only found in the Northeast. "
"They lay their eggs in April and May, and when they hatch and grow into frogs in May and June, they will migrate up the mountains. In September and October, they will come down from the mountains and spend the winter near low-lying streams and rivers. They can survive under the ice. ”
"Usually we catch them when it's cold."
Fu Jingyou nodded.
In this way, the wood frogs are indeed different from the toads and frogs here.
Where can you see the shadow of toads in winter here?
It is impossible to dig three feet into the ground.
When it comes to unknown areas, Fu Jingyou listened carefully and his expression was serious. Lu Miao felt that his behavior was very different from usual. He couldn't help but laugh a few times as he said:
"Fresh frogs eat seeds. When eating meat, like this dried wood frog, you only need oil.”
Fu Jingyou nodded. First, I silently took notes in my mind, "Then how do you get this toad oil now?"
"What toad oil? It's disgusting! It's for food after all, can't you put it nicely?"
Fu Jingyou said: "How do you eat this snow clam oil?"
Only then was Lu Miao satisfied. She dried another toad, took out the frog oil and put it into a bowl. Seeing that the amount in the bowl was almost full, she took the bowl to scoop out water from the bucket and soaked it in the frog oil.
"That's it. Let's soak it for two hours first. After it's boiled, remove the black impurities in the middle."
Fu Jingyou was a little confused and asked, "You're doing this, aren't you? Are you eating now? You haven’t had breakfast yet?”
“I am. I want to eat it, but it won’t take a while to soak the snow clam oil. After a while, the impurities in it will be removed, and I have to continue soaking it!”
Fu Jingyou listened and said: “It will take a while! If you can’t eat it, what are you doing with it? It’s a waste of effort.”
"It's a bit hard work, but why waste something?"
Lu Miao pouted unhappy: "I can't eat it, can't you eat it later? Besides, I'll teach you how to do it, next time When I come back, can’t you prepare in advance?”
