Chapter 235 Sports
In winter, the water temperature of the well is higher than the air temperature. The water vapor overflowing from the well surface forms a mist at the well mouth and in the air, which is actually very beautiful.
Especially below the wellhead, the water mist was fixed into strands on the water surface. Jiang Shuyi squatted down and gently moved it, feeling the wind force and the mist dispersed.
"The water is warm." Jiang Shuyi turned her head and looked at Zhou Zhi with a smile.
“It’s so beautiful.” Zhou Zhi was carrying a basket and an insulated rice bucket. He didn’t know whether he was praising the scenery or others: “Let’s go, we’ll be soaking squid in a while. This water will be just right. It doesn’t cost anything.”< br>
Arriving at Zhang Xinyi's house, Zhou Zhi went directly into the kitchen.
Now he is the only male in the family, and then there are Jiang Shuyi, Zhang Xinyi, and Zhang Ziwan. There are three women in a drama. Even if Jiang Shuyi and Zhang Xinyi both have quiet personalities, they can't stand it. lively.
Too lazy to care about the girls. The key is that the girls are too lazy to care about him. Zhou Zhi is probably more familiar with the old Zhang family’s kitchen than Xin Yi and Zi Wan.
Chop the native chicken and stew it in a stew pot. Take out the magnolia slices and squid, change the water and let them float.
Take out a bag of dried mushrooms and boil water.
After the water for stewing the chicken is boiling, remove the foam and turn it down to a low heat. Pick up the magnolia slices and squid, put them in a big bucket, carry them to the well in the camphor forest, and fetch water to float them up.
It was okay after that. Zhou Zhi took out the slingshot from his pocket and started playing with it.
The slingshot is made of oak knots brought from Fubao Forestry Farm. The first large one made by Lao Mu was scrapped by Zhou Zhi. He asked his cousin An Ran to make the bow body from aluminum alloy. The oak knots were changed into The patch for the slingshot handle was removed, and after assembly and polishing it was very beautiful.
It’s hard to find flat rubber that looks good. Most of them are black leather. Only a few bicycle inner tubes are red leather, and the rubber tubes used for hospital infusions are yellow.
Zhou Zhi chose a relatively good-looking brick red rubber band cut from the inner liner of a bicycle. Such a slingshot is considered to be the only one in Jiachuan nowadays.
He took out a box of clay balls from his pocket and found a camphor tree as a target. After being hit, the mud pellets will explode on the tree trunk, leaving a mud mark.
Every morning Zhou Zhi would practice this on the Hongshui River Bridge. On the sidewalk on the road side of the bridge, he would hit the pile heads on the stone bridge piles on the opposite side. He had become proficient in this skill.
Zhou Zhi thought this could be considered a sport. When Fang Wenyu and Yan Xiao asked him to add sports to improve, he selected such a sport for himself.
Yan Xiao scolded him, saying that playing slingshot is not a sport. Zhou Zhi said that if you dare to say it is not, then I will choose fishing or go to practice more.
There is nothing wrong with this. Go is a sport. The superior of the national Go team is the National Sports Commission. Nie Weiping’s title of Chess Saint was awarded by the National Sports Commission and the Chinese Go Association.
Fishing is not only a sport, but also a competitive sport. It was first officially launched in 1983 and was also managed by the National Sports Commission. Later it was changed to the Ministry of Agriculture. Later, the State Sports General Administration established the Social Sports Guidance Center. Directly managed by the center.
So Zhou Zhi took advantage of this loophole, and Yan Xiao really couldn't do anything about him.
There are many birds chirping in the forest, including squirrels, wood thrushes, and turtle doves. Fortunately, Zhou Zhi has passed the age of being curious about bird hunting. He plays with the slingshot just to practice hand-eye coordination, not to hunt, small animals. Escaped.
After playing for a while, Zhou Zhi put away his things and returned to Zhang Xinyi's house with the beautiful magnolia slices and squid.
The laughter of several girls came from the bedroom. Zhou Zhi suddenly remembered something and immediately shouted something bad: "Xin Yi, don't show Shu Yi my photos!"
< br>
Looking around, sure enough, three girls were sitting side by side on the bed. Zhang Xinyi sat at the head of the bed. There was a stack of photo albums on the bedside table. Jiang Shuyi sat in the middle with a thick photo album on her lap. Zhang Ziyuan sat at the end of the bed. Her fingers were still dragging a corner of the big photo album
"It's too late, brother!" Seeing Zhou Zhi peeking his head in, Zhang Ziyuan raised her head and made faces at him.
"It's over..." In Zhou Zhi's lament, Jiang Shuyi raised her head and looked at him secretly, her face flushed, but the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles. Mrs. Zhao and Su Xiuqin were best friends. What they liked to do most at that time was to exchange photos of their children.
So Zhang Xinyi’s home has many photos of Zhou Zhi’s childhood. Similarly, Zhou Zhi’s home also has many photos of Xin Yi and Aster.
But the problem is that the photos that Mrs. Zhao gave to Lao Zhou’s family were all very good photos of the two sisters. They were usually the work of professionals in parks or photo studios;
And the photos that Su Xiuqin gave to her best friend’s home The photos of my son are a bit unprincipled and not aesthetic.
Zhou Zhi once asked his mother, why did you spread those ugly naked photos of me when I was a child around?
As a result, my mother was very convincing. She thought her son was beautiful no matter how he looked at it, so they were all beautiful photos and none of them were ugly.
Sitting in the bathtub - belly folds, two short legs stretched out unbridled, happy like a silly boy, you tell me you are beautiful? !
As soon as he saw Jiang Shuyi's expression, Zhou Zhi knew that the photo had definitely been viewed.
"Forget it, the worst one has been seen, you can do whatever you want..." Zhou Zhi could only lament and disappeared from the bedroom door.
"Giggle..." Several girls inside laughed so hard that they fell back on the bed.
The planned lunch included a chicken soup and a crispy squid. Zhou Zhi opened the refrigerator and found a pot of large white beans cooked with meat.
Auntie Zhao loves to put a lot of thought into clothing design, but her cooking skills remain unchanged for almost ten thousand years.
Tuo Tuo meat can indeed match everything in the world.
Actually, if you don’t do this for a long time, a meal once in a while is quite good. Zhou Zhi thought that Ziyuan liked braised pork very much, and happened to have extra mushrooms, so he sighed, picked up the colander, and poured out the beans and meat. Fish it out and separate it.
If the braised pork is to be delicious, it must be cooked in early. Zhou Zhi started to light the fire, stir-fry the ingredients, add the meat, and add the fermented mushrooms. Finally, filter the water for the fermented mushrooms twice and add it to the soup. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer.
Then start steaming the rice, steam it a little more, Aster likes to mix the rice with the gravy.
The next step is to prepare various ingredients, pea tips, shredded radish, ginger slices, green onion segments, shiitake mushrooms...
The meat there was already soft and cooked, so it was quickly brought to a boil. Then, the large white beans fished out from the broth were poured in, mixed well, and turned down to low heat to soak in the flavor.
The chicken soup is ready. Put the pot aside, boil water, add salt, add shredded radish, cook until soft and cooked, take it out, and add it to small bowls.
Finally, make the meatballs, blanch them in boiling water until they are set, take them out and put them in bowls, four in each bowl. Then add a spoonful of broth to each bowl, add water to the large pot, and drop one piece into the water. Put the bacon on two layers of steaming racks, put four small bowls inside each, and steam it.
At this time, family members came back one after another. The first one to come back was Mrs. Zhao. She was the boss of her shop and she was very free.
"What are the elbows made of? It smells so good!" Mrs. Zhao could already smell it downstairs.
Seeing Mrs. Zhao coming back, Zhou Zhi guessed that Xin Yi's father and Dr. Zhao were almost ready. Zhou Zhi opened the lid of the braised pork pot, turned on the high heat and began to collect the juice.
“Bacon, braised pork with mushrooms and white beans, local chicken soup, soup dumplings, crispy squid!”
“Yes,” Mrs. Zhao nodded, expressing satisfaction with the thoughtful design: “That’s good. ! ”
