Chapter 1939 Morning Swim
"What are you making that weird noise?!" Zhou Zhi interrupted the little girl's joke: "Hurry up and brush your teeth. You don't need to wash your face. Anyway, we will have to eat later. Swim early.”
"Then why don't we swim now?"
"That won't work. It's easy to have low blood sugar if you don't have anything in your stomach. Go quickly."
Don't eat too much before exercising. Food, the three of them each drank a bowl of porridge and prepared to go into the water.
Azi came up with another idea: "Brother Xiuzi, how about we bring some food?"
"How to bring it?" Zhou Zhi asked: "The basin over there is still in the water, with fresh ingredients frozen. Well, take out the things and put them in that basin?"
"How about you build a raft?" Azi thought her idea was great: "Put the food on the raft? Push it up."
"You are quite good at doing things." Zhou Zhi smiled: "That's a good idea!"
There was a lot of firewood collected yesterday, and Zhou Zhi laid it all out yesterday. When we arrived around the firepit, it was now quite dry. With two spare ropes from the tent, we could easily tie out a small raft of one square meter.
Of course, this raft is not suitable for seating people, but it is enough to hold food. Ah Zi put the basket from yesterday's mushroom picking on it, and put apples, buckwheat cakes, and some reheated barbecue leftovers from yesterday. Zhou Zhi today. She had freshly cooked blood sausage in the morning, and if the porridge hadn't been a bit inconvenient, she would have even brought the porridge.
"Forget it..." Zhou Zhi hurriedly advised and filled a pot of milk tea with a marching kettle: "We have brought a pot of milk tea."
"We need to call Brother Renzhong and the others. "Is it ready here? There is still no movement in the tent over there, so Jike Azi asked Zhou Zhi for advice.
“Forget it, Renzhong is very angry when he wakes up, let him get enough sleep, and we can play with ourselves.”
The three of them pushed the small raft into the water, chasing the most comfortable temperature along the way. That stretch of water started to swim towards the other shore.
The forest is actually very cold in the late autumn morning. It is precisely because of this chill that soaking in hot water makes it even more comfortable.
White mist floats on the water, shrouding the nearby wheat seedlings and Jike Azi in a hazy beauty. In addition to the sound of the stream, there are also the noises of some birds.
"It's like a fairyland in a dream." It's already dawn, and the sun is shining on the mountains. The breeze occasionally blows away the mist on the water, revealing the beautiful colorful forests on the hillside. The wheat seedlings look around Looking at the beautiful scenery around the pond, I couldn't help but sigh.
"There should be a lot of fish in this water." Zhou Zhi pondered as he pulled the clear pond water.
"We discovered it yesterday." Speaking of this, Mai Xiaomiao was very happy: "Azi brought us here yesterday. As long as we sit quietly, many small fish will come here in a short while. It’s fun to suck your hands and feet! ”
"You guys really know how to enjoy yourself." Zhou Zhi smiled.
"After a while, we will go pick wild vegetables after soaking in water." Azi said enthusiastically: "If I had known that Brother Jiuzi's barbecue was so delicious, I should have picked some deer ear and leek leaves to pack for barbecue yesterday!"< br>
“You are also a foodie.” Zhou Zhi expressed doubt: “This Are the deer-eared leeks too old at that time? "They are too old in other places, but they are still very young here." Azi said, "It's just too far away. It's a pity that they are all over the mountains and valleys." br>
"Well, let's pick some and bring them back later!" Zhou Zhi said with a smile.
The three of them found a place with a suitable water temperature. Zhou Zhi tied the stones with two tent ropes and tied the other ends to the two corners of the small raft. They threw the stones into the water. The raft drifted and stopped automatically. Come down.
Zhou Zhi felt that the amount of exercise was not enough, so he took the two girls to swim for a while, and then the three of them returned to the raft and started eating around the raft.
This is definitely a wonderful enjoyment. Everyone leans on the rocks, letting the warm hot springs wrap themselves up, drinking milk tea, eating apples, occasionally throwing a piece of barbecue into their mouths, and breaking a piece of tartary buckwheat. Dad, you can be as comfortable as you want.
Bitter buckwheat cake is filled with oil residue, salted dried vegetables, tofu, dried mushrooms, deep-fried and then baked. Although the shell is a bit damp after floating on the water for so long, it is still delicious.
Mai Xiaomiao liked this very much, but she couldn't finish one piece, so she asked Zhou Zhi to spread his hands and open the cake, letting the loose filling fall on Zhou Zhi's palm. She and Jike Azi divided it. Eat shell shell.
Zhou Zhi really liked eating stuffing, and said with a smile: "If I had known you guys were so easy to feed, I would have just fried two pancakes and brought them over for you to eat."
"The bare pancakes wouldn't taste good either." Mai Xiaomiao refused to eat tasteless pancakes: "The shell with the fillings tastes the best."
"I actually like to eat meat and vegetables as well." Zhou Zhi said: "At first, Uncle Tu and the others praised me for being humble."
Now, Mai Xiaomiao has understood the overall situation of Lianhe Township, and knows that when Zhou Zhi first arrived here, Jike Azi's family actually They are no better than other families in the township who have not yet escaped poverty. You can imagine what life was like at that time by looking at the homes of several poor classmates.
Thinking of this, Mai Xiaomiao felt a little distressed for Zhou Zhi for some reason: "Everyone said that the township has changed a lot this year. It is all thanks to the several projects you have brought in, and the surrounding towns and villages. The child distanced himself ”
"Actually, I hope that Lianhe Township can play a leading role," Zhou Zhi said: "It can drive surrounding townships, towns, and even counties to turn cherries and pomegranates into real industries."
"Only then can the reputation of Meigu Chelizi and Pomegranate be established, and with fame, people will come here. With a large-scale market, everyone will become truly wealthy.”
“If there are more fruits, will we not be able to sell them?” Jile Azi was still a little worried. When the situation mentioned by Zhou Zhi appeared, he took an orange from the raft to Zhou Zhi, and then handed an apple to Mai Xiaomiao: "Just like this "The sales of Leibo navel oranges and Yanyuan apples are actually not bad," Zhou Zhi said: "According to the data from the Autonomous Prefecture Agriculture Bureau, the main bottleneck is still on the road out of the state. Mainly on the Chengdu-Kunming Line, the trains are busy and nervous, and the train speed is still slow. Even so, Leibo Navel Orange and Yanyuan The sales of apples are much better than those shipped from other producing areas. As long as they go to Shudu Fruit Market, they are basically the first choice of customers. Why? "
"Because they are delicious!" Mai Xiaomiao bit! Taking a bite of an apple: "I have never tasted an apple with honey in the flesh before!"
The "honey" in apples that Mai Xiaomiao mentioned is actually a characteristic of Yanyuan apples. Because of the sufficient sunshine and large temperature differences, a large amount of sugar accumulates in the apples. This sugar will form some darker colors inside the apples. , a slightly transparent area, this part is also sweeter.
This phenomenon will be quite common in some high-sweetness apple varieties in the next 20 years, but it is still rarely seen now. When the varieties are not outstanding enough, only excellent producing places can This phenomenon forms in the pulp.
The same thing also happens with oranges. Leibo is an excellent producer of navel oranges. In fact, many fruits in Liangshan Prefecture are like this. After eating, the juice will stick to the fingers together, and there will be a gap when they are separated. The tearing feeling is due to the high sugar content.
