Chapter 714 Cooking
For example, in Zhou Zhi's mind, the best poem written by the ancients about Mount Anle is "The moss path is adjacent to the sloping rocks, and the forest is Taoist" written by Lu Jiao of the Song Dynasty. Fish play with the moon in the night pool, spring "Di Lu Mian Hua" is a masterpiece, but unfortunately the original monument has been lost.
Under the two words "Leshan" is the poem written by Dai Yingkui, a tribute student of the Qing Dynasty, who visited the mountain when he was 90 years old. Comparing innocence to the heart.”
Poetry is also a good poem, but the situation is precarious.
Zhou Zhi felt that he had something to do again. At least he had to make rubbings of the entire mountain's stone carvings and preserve them so that he would have a reference when the cultural center wanted to reshape the cliff in the future.
Zhou Zhi was interested in these things. As he went down the mountain, Zhou Zhi introduced the ins and outs of these stone carvings and the identity and background of the creators to his friends. The uncles who were accompanying him were amazed.
This man is even more indigenous than us mountain people!
When you come to the foot of the mountain, there is an earth platform with a path on the side. Not far from it, there is the famous bowl of water.
This is a cliff. Spring water slowly seeps out from the bottom of the cliff and fills a small stone pit at the bottom of the cliff.
The spring water is clear and sweet. When visitors come here, it is time to "take a drink from the mountain spirit and try to compare the innocence in your heart."
There is also a nice name here, called "Xu Youlao".
Xu You was a famous hermit. Emperor Yao wanted to hand over the world to him. He thought his words were dirty and went to the river to wash his ears.
But another hermit, Fan Jian, saw it and asked him, "Are your ears dirty?"
Xu You then told him what Yao told him.
Fan Jian was drinking the cow. After hearing this, he led the cow away. He was ashamed to let the cow drink downstream where Xu You was washing his ears.
"Xu Youlao" means that the water is so clean that only a hermit like Xu You deserves to drink it.
While telling everyone stories, Zhou Zhi used rice dumpling leaves to draw water from the spring to fill everyone's kettles. After hearing the story, Wei Fei was very dissatisfied: "Give me more, why should Youcai drink it? He has been a hermit all his life, which shows that his ability has not been tested, why do you think he can be a Kyushu shepherd? I think he is a fake Aloof, knowing that one is incompetent You just put on such an appearance!"
Zhou Zhi couldn't help but be speechless: "It's boring if you take the ancient legend seriously. The premise of this story is that Xu You really has the opportunity and ability to win the world but he doesn't do it. What is celebrated is a kind of truthfulness I am not tempted by external interests. If you focus on rationality, this story cannot be told."
But I felt a little frustrated after saying it: "But you are right, Qian Qian. After that, people competed to forge, talking about benevolence, justice and morality. A man with a belly steals a woman into prostitution, but it has become a big problem."
"That's right!" Wei Fei said: "No one knows whether it is a manifestation of the true self, so this is a false proposition and cannot be taken as such. Consideration indicators.”
Zhou Zhi gave him a thumbs up and handed the kettle over: "The dog's mouth spits out the truth. The words of the plane are consistent with what the Sixth Patriarch and Wang Yangming saw. You deserve to drink this pot."
It’s time to say goodbye to the mountain man uncle here, and we all go home along the old stone road.
Both sides of the road are farmland. The rice has already hung down, and the harvest is not far away.
After passing through a valley, the team returned to the mechanical farming road, and after walking a little further, they reached Anleshan Township Primary School.
Find the owner at a farmhouse, negotiate a price, and thoughtfully let the friends collect the vegetables.
Summer is the peak season for vegetables, and the host is worried that there will be too many tomatoes and eggplants to eat. For only twenty yuan, the friends got a bunch of peppers, tomatoes, eggplants, cowpeas, cucumbers, and water spinach. , green beans, red sweet potato tips, blood-skin vegetables...
Zhou Zhi and Feng Xueshan also ran to the kitchen and spent another hundred yuan to select a bacon leg and a fan of bacon ribs.
For this farmer, it was another windfall. It was agreed that Feng Xueshan would treat everyone to dinner, so Feng Xueshan came up with the money and went to Wei Fei's house to process it.
Carrying loads of loot across the dam, we arrived at Anleshan Township Primary School.
Wei's parents and Wei's mother looked at the team returning home with loads of work, and they couldn't help but laugh: "Oh, is this a mountain tour or a robbery?"
Next, Zhou Zhi began to assign tasks. Wei's parents and Wei's mother rested, and Feng Xueshan was the chef. , helping to prepare the ingredients themselves, the girls helped picking and washing vegetables, and the boys went to the fish pond to touch snails.
I have long promised to make snails for Miss Wei Yi, and I have been owed this for a long time.
Wei Fei ran to the bamboo forest with rare diligence and soon brought two little hens over: "Elbow, kill them for me!"
"Hey, I haven't seen this in two months. The chickens are well raised." Zhou Zhi saw that the mental outlook of the two chickens was different: "They are quite fat."
"It doesn't matter who comes back." Wei Yi spat as he picked the pepper stalks: "If he doesn't cut the sweet potatoes and mix them with the bran, I shouldn't let him raise chickens. He raises pheasants from domestic chickens." ”
“There are a lot of dishes today, how about just one?” Feng Xueshan said with a smile.
“Two!” Wei Fei raised his hands to Feng Xueshan and Zhou Zhizhi: “If you can eat one more, feed one less.”
So this kid had this idea! Everyone laughed happily.
Kill the chicken and scald it, roast the pork leg and scrape the skin, and cook it in a big pot. After carefully cleaning the chicken offal, and helping Feng Xueshan cut the ginger, pickled pepper and other seasonings, all that is left is to light the fire.
Feng Xueshan was very capable and had quick hands and feet. In just a short time, she had prepared all the seasonings, and also blanched the water spinach and eggplants and put them on the plate.
There is no need for so many people in the kitchen. The girls also went out to play by the water.
"Elbow, let's go, teach me how to fish!" Dad Wei popped up at the door of the kitchen, holding a net and two fishing rods in his hand.
"That's right, how can a man do the job of lighting a fire?" Mother Wei also rushed in: "You go and teach the old man to fish. He is addicted and has poor skills. You can teach him his elbow!"
Actually, this is an excuse. Wei's parents still have the old idea that they should let their children come to the house to work proactively, and they would be embarrassed to wait for food without doing anything. They want to do something no matter what.
"You go ahead with the elbow." Feng Xueshan took out the blanched hen and soaked it in cold water so that the chicken skin would be firm and crispy. At the same time, she was cooking the chili peppers to prepare the chili pepper sauce: "There is actually not much to cook in the summer. Yes, there will be scrambled eggs with tomatoes and fried chicken, and now you can cook the bacon."
"That's okay," Zhou Zhi said. Said: "You boil water in the pot again. After a while, they bring back the snails and boil them to death to get the meat. There is no time to raise them to spit out mud, so they have to get the meat."
"Well, I understand, you and uncle Let’s go fishing.”
Dad Wei uses half-cooked sweet potatoes and tender corn for fishing. If he doesn’t make nests with these two things, he will have to wait for passing fish, and the harvest will be bleak.
However, the deep pond outside can be used for fishing, which is more surprising than thoughtfulness: "I remember when I came here last year, it was said that the pond had been contracted out?"
"It's been contracted out." Dad Wei stared at Zhou Zhi as he prepared the bait: "It turned out that the water was too deep, and there were still many rocks and ridges below, so I couldn't pull down the bottom net, so I had to catch the silver carp on the upper layer and finish the rest. I can’t get a lot of fish.”
“So this year the boss has opened up the pond. As long as he is not fishing for silver carp, all other fish will be charged three yuan a catty.”
