Chapter 541 Zhenzhen
It is also fun at night when there is a power outage.
No lights, no moonlight, that’s okay, there are still stars all over the sky to keep you company.
Chen Ling moved the bamboo bed to the yard, hung up the mosquito net, and left Wang Susu and the two women at home.
He, Liang Jinke, and nearby neighbors took their two children and went to the river embankment to look for cicada monkeys and touch snails.
The night is cool, frogs are chirping, crickets are chirping, fireflies are flying, and cicadas are chirping on the trees.
Take a few steps, and there is still the fragrance of flowers in the wind.
The rich floral fragrance is not greasy and very fresh. It is the flowers and cabbage blooming by the river. When you shine the flashlight, it turns yellow.
Xiaoyudian and Ruirui picked a few flowers, put them in front of their noses, sniffed, and giggled.
After a while, they were chasing and playing around the big tree.
Suddenly, there was a 'pop' sound and something fell from above their heads, startling them.
It turned out to be a cicada monkey that was metamorphosing at a high place. It had just turned into a tender white cicada. It lost its grip and the cicada shell and a piece of it fell down.
Looking for cicada monkeys along the trees, touching snails in small river ditches, and feeling the harvest is getting more and more, it is very fun and addictive.
While touching the snails, I also touched the little old turtles several times.
It is small but has a long neck. If you hold it in your hand, it will turn its neck and bite people like a snake.
Everyone said that these were the turtle sons and grandsons of Prince Turtle. If they couldn’t catch them, they were all released.
You can’t catch the old turtle cub.
There are many other things that can be caught
In the grass beside rivers and ditches, eels appear at night. Let’s catch eels.
After catching it, throw it into the bucket.
In the shallow layer of water, there are snails, river mussels, eels, and small fish.
Cicada monkeys are not kept together, and many young cicadas that have just metamorphosed will be eaten by eels.
That's it, until about nine o'clock in the night, it was completely dark, and I went home with the sky full of stars. The night wind was blowing, and the fragrance of flowers in the wind was stronger. It was an extremely refreshing feeling.
After having fun, taking a bath, the family of three slept in the cool air on the bamboo bed in the courtyard.
The night sky is full of stars to accompany you to sleep, and your sleep is sweet.
...
After waking up in the morning, she grazed cows by the river and walked the dog. When she came back, the old lady made breakfast and steamed a pot of corn cobs.
In the pot is millet and pumpkin porridge.
On the grate of the pot are golden corn cobs.
Chen Ling ignored the burning of his hands, picked up one and went outside the door to eat it.
There have been weddings in the county town in recent days. It is near the old theater in the north. A group of people boiled a pot of water and killed pigs there in the early morning.
Chen Ling went back and got a corn cob, gnawing on it, and went over to join in the fun.
"Brother-in-law."
Amidst the squealing of pigs, a familiar and crisp childish cry made Chen Ling turn around suddenly.
I saw a little girl with double ponytails struggling to get off the motorcycle and shouting at him with surprise on her face.
"Oh, really?!"
Chen Ling was also surprised and his eyes widened.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Zhenzhen ran to him in a few steps, then stretched his neck and looked into the crowd: "Brother-in-law, why are you here watching the slaughter of pigs so early in the morning? You want to buy something? Pork? I just want to eat meat."
Chen Ling immediately looked at her and said, "I just came back and shouted to eat."
There was no consciousness on his face when he said this. She smiled and reached out to touch her pigtails: "Why are you here on your brother Qi'an's motorcycle? We were talking about you last night and thought that if you came back, you would definitely come back with dad."
"No, brother Qi'an took sister-in-law Huining to play. They stayed in our mountain for a few days and happened to bring me back with them.
I arrived last night, but you were not in the village. My brother and sister-in-law don't let us walk at night, saying that you will bring Ruirui back in the morning."
Wang Zhenzhen raised her face, shook her head, and shook her braids: "Hey, but I miss you, let me. Brother Qi'an brought me here earlier."
Chen Ling was very happy when he heard this: "Okay, I will make delicious food for you today."
At this time, Yu Qi'an and Bai Huining stopped opposite. Good motorcycle, come here too.
"Hey, the pigs are being slaughtered. I heard the pigs braying and thought they were collecting the pigs here early in the morning... This is just right. I will bring back the pig intestines at the same time. They are very fragrant. I haven't eaten them for a long time."< br>
Yu Qian started shouting as soon as he walked up to him.
Bai Huining rolled his eyes at the side.
Chen Ling ignored the old boy and smiled at Bai Huining: "Huining, didn't you two go to Miao Village to play this time? Why did you go to Yaowang Village to find Zhenzhen again?"
“Forget it, the Miao Village was fun at first, but then I went out to the mountains to hunt every day. I couldn’t stand the atmosphere, shouting and dancing, and I kept having nightmares at night.
< br>
So I dragged Qi'an back, and happened to meet Uncle Cunye and Zhenzhen selling snakes at the market, so I went up the mountain with them to catch snakes for a few days. "
Bai Huining said.
Chen Ling was stunned for a moment, "Haha, you are quite weird. Are you afraid of hunting but not snakes? "
While talking, Yu Qian had already bought a large pot of pigs, grinning proudly.
It seemed like he had gotten a huge advantage.
"Well, my brother's house is opposite Lingzhong in the south. I will take the basin back and bring it to you in a while."
"You know, Chen Fugui, just take the basin."< br>
Yu Qian came back happily carrying a large pot of pig into the water.
Chen Ling took a look and realized, okay, I also got the large intestine, small intestine, pork liver, and lungs. I can make it into Lao Bei Bo Braised Pork and eat it in a big pot.
Yu Qian also winked: "Just braise it. There are so many people in your family. I will tell you how to make it, and you cook. It would be great to make a big pot."
Then he added: "This braised soup is so fragrant. Pour some fried tofu and vegetarian meatballs on top. Hey, it's so beautiful. It's so satisfying just thinking about it."
He said this. , Chen Ling was really greedy.
Poop also stepped forward and bought the pig's head and trotters.
The main ones are pig’s trotters. Su Su loves to eat these. They are good for pregnant women and should be bought.
After shopping, I walked home.
Wang Zhenzhen followed them, chirping, jumping and jumping with joy.
"Brother-in-law, we are very lucky this year. Dad caught a snake and sold it for more than two hundred yuan at the foot of the mountain. Brother Qi'an also saw it and said that the snake grew up eating medicinal materials and was so thick. It’s so long that it’s heavy to carry in the bag.”
“We also saw golden monkeys. When it got dark, they peeked at us catching snakes in the trees. I waved to them, but they ignored me. They refused to eat the fruit that was thrown to them, and then they ran away.”
“By the way, there were wild boars and deer. Wild boars ran into the village that day, and they came in in broad daylight and invaded the vegetable garden of the third grandmother’s house. It was smashed to pieces, and the vegetable cellar was pushed open... That wild boar was so stupid that it fell into the vegetable cellar and got stuck in it, hahahaha. It was so frightened that it pooped and peed inside..."
< br>"The deer in the mountains are always roaming around. Sika deer are more courageous than wild boars, and they even bring their young. They run very fast, disappearing in a whoosh, and they jump so high that even dogs can't catch them. Up miles.”
"Brother-in-law, please catch me a fawn. I really want to raise it."
When Yu Qi'an met, he muttered to Bai Huining that Fugui's sister-in-law was closer than his own daughter.
Bai Huining was young, still a girl under twenty. Hearing this, she felt that the words were not pleasant to the ears. She glared at Yu Qian and asked him how could he say such nonsense?
When they were almost in front of the house, the old lady came out with a swill bucket to pour water. She was stunned when she saw them, and then she had a look of surprise in her eyes and said: "Oh, haha, I said, "Why do you hear the chirping outside so familiar? It turns out that the little monkey is back?"
"Mom."
Wang Zhenzhen's eyes lit up, he ran over and grabbed the bucket, and said with a smile: "I'm not a little monkey."
Wang Susu hurried out soon after, also full of surprise: "Zhenzhen, what are you doing? Did you come back during the night?"
"No, I went back to the village first. I spent the night in the village, why did you become stupid?"
"Humph? , I scolded your sister when we met. Seeing that you are now thin and dark, like a little monkey, you must have gone crazy at home. If your father can't tell you, you won't eat well. "< br>
Seeing this, the old lady grabbed her ears with her wet hands.
The little girl suddenly pursed her lips: "No, I eat a lot every day. This summer vacation, my second brother and second sister-in-law cook, and dad’s cooking is not delicious."
Seeing the old lady, she still wants to talk, She hurriedly turned her head and shouted: "Where is Ruirui, where is Ruirui."
And walked into the courtyard. At this time, the brat was holding a small shovel, sticking out his butt, crawling on the ground, and digging. The yard he dug was full of small ditches with twists and turns.
Two big dogs were watching him from behind.
Wang Zhenzhen walked over, pinched his waist and shouted: "Smelly Ruirui, what are you doing?"
When Ruirui saw the man in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, then screamed and dropped the shovel. The one who led the crawler hid behind Hei Wa and the other two.
Then he peeked at her.
Wang Zhenzhen immediately chased after him and shouted: "Smelly Ruirui, you dare to hide when you see my aunt, see how I deal with you."
Ruirui screamed again in fright, and stepped forward He stood up on his short legs and ran, drooling from the corners of his mouth as he ran.
But no matter how hard he ran, there was no way he could outrun Wang Zhenzhen. When he was caught, held in his arms and kissed fiercely, he still waved his hands and feet as hard as he could, with his eyes closed, and screamed "Mom, Mom".
He still missed his aunt when she didn't come back.
When his aunt came back, he couldn't bear the torture, so he could only ask his mother for help.
"Huh? What's in this cage?"
After a while, Wang Zhenzhen suddenly discovered the iron cage outside the east room.
Taking a closer look: "Wow, brother-in-law, did you catch a nest of badgers?"
Looking at the five strange and cute little things, big and small, the little girl saw it. Like it very much.
Yu Qian and the others also came over to take a look.
This is the time for Ruirui to show off. He can already throw some grains in with a small shovel, and can also clumsily stuff the remaining corn cobs one by one with a small shovel. Go in.
The badgers snatched them into their mouths, crunched them to pieces, and then swallowed them.
After eating the tender corn cobs, even the corn cobs are sweet and don't need to be thrown away. Dogs and badgers love to eat them.
After eating, he stretched out his mouth with sharp canine teeth through the gap at the bottom of the cage, opening and closing, revealing his white teeth and pink tongue, and screamed eagerly, thinking Want to eat delicious food again.
The two dolls, one big and one small, found it interesting when they saw each other. They giggled. One took a wooden stick and the other took a small shovel to tease them.
It’s just that the wooden stick was not strong, and it was bitten badly by the badgers after a few times.
Although the teeth of dog badgers are not as sharp as those of pig badgers, they can bite wood easily.
If it were a pig or badger, the iron cage could be chewed into pieces and the wires would be broken into sections.
"Fugui, can you raise this badger after you catch it? I think it would be fun to raise two little ones."
"Huh? You want to raise this one? This It’s not easy to raise. You won’t be able to feed it if you bring it to the capital.”
This wild thing is a wild thing, especially a badger with a strong temper. It was caught halfway and not cooked well at all.
Although I eat whatever you give me.
But it is not well-raised, does not recognize people at all, and bites people at every turn.
"You, why not raise horses, donkeys or something like that? When you go to Fenglei Town, haven't you seen those pack horses? They are small, short, and so beautiful."
Chen Ling smiled and encouraged him. This old boy still likes horses. Anything else is not true love.
Sure enough, with this statement, he poked his itchy spot and pulled Chen Ling into a conversation.
……
After spending half a day in the city, I had enough fun and rushed back to the farm before noon.
According to what Yu Qian said, we will cook braised food today.
Stewed stew is a specialty of Lao Bei'an. It is something that poor people used to eat. It is very fragrant when stewed in a big pot.
Not to mention, once the offal is cooked, it is really more delicious than just meat.
Some people just like this.
Chen Ling could also accept it. He felt that as long as the food was kept clean enough and the bad smell of the offal was suppressed, the taste of these offal would be much richer and more fragrant than ordinary meat.
Of course, when it comes to good seasonings, Chen Ling has never lacked good seasonings.
I made such a big pot of stew at noon.
When it tastes good and the heat is enough, take out the liver, lungs and intestines. Usually there is no liver, so it’s fine if you add it. It’s just a good supplement for Zhenzhen. The family is complaining that she is too thin.
Wang Susu should also eat more offal, which is good for the body.
Cut it up, cut it up, put in as much as you like, add fried tofu and fried vegetarian meatballs, cook it with braised sauce, pour hot soup over it, it tastes delicious.
A full and spicy bowl of braised pork with cold beer is particularly refreshing.
Chen Ling’s family ate well, and so did the guests staying at the farm.
Han Shaobo also said that it has a bit of Western Xinjiang flavor, and the haggis there is also cooked in a big pot.
The sheep heart, liver, lungs and intestines are boiled in a large pot and sold out, it feels almost the same.
Chen Ling was stunned for a moment, thinking that it was indeed a bit similar, but the haggis and beef offal from Xijiang were still suitable for eating in winter.
Let’s wait until the end of autumn and the weather gets colder to do it.
......
Han Shaobo finished eating the braised pork and left in the afternoon.
He felt that Zhao Yubao was right. Staying here was full of inspiration one after another, and he really couldn't stay any longer.
Sometimes having too much inspiration is a worry.
It will affect his current creation.
It stands to reason that this poetic pastoral life is comfortable and clean, suitable for laziness and a period of full-body rest.
But it’s very different here.
After staying here for a few days, I feel full of energy, my thoughts are clear, and all kinds of things can be extended to very interesting things.
It makes people feel happy and helpless at the same time.
Even the cartoon that he originally commissioned by Zhao Yubao and didn't take it seriously was completed to a high degree. He even felt that after he came here, this cartoon could be made into a series.
Nothing else, there are too many interesting things in the Chen Ling family.
He and many tourists who come here have the same idea. They will have to come here often in the future. This is really a treasure place.
Han Shaobo is gone.
Yu Qian and the other two were lamenting that they once again missed the opportunity to see Prince Turtle with their own eyes. They originally wanted to leave, but this time they were unwilling to do anything.
I directly found a house in the county town and rode Chen Ling's motorcycle around every day.
As for the Chen Ling family, after a brief period of silence, this morning, a military green car drove up outside the farm.
The car door opened, and a middle-aged couple with a capable temperament stepped out of the car.
Go to the back row and speak softly to the young girl inside.
"Jiajia, get out of the car quickly. There are many, many fun things in this farm."
"The owner of the farm is a young man similar to you, but he is very powerful. He has raised a big eagle and many The dog and his sheep can even climb up the cliff, and the little goats are jumping up."
"Look, the farm next to the pavilion is feeding the puppies. The owner, oh my, there are so many puppies crawling around him, look at those little snoring puppies, how cute and interesting they are."
"Yes, Jiajia, don't be unhappy. , Didn’t you like puppies before? Dad will buy you one and take it home to raise, okay?”
But the haggard young girl in the back of the car half-closed her eyes, as if she didn’t hear. Just don't talk.
The couple looked at each other and sighed softly, feeling helpless.
Then the two of them lip-synched and discussed their ideas silently.
Chen Ling naturally noticed this strange family. He was familiar with the couple and had met them many times. They had booked two rooms at the farm a while ago and then left in a hurry.
He didn't bother to care about the inside story. He just picked up the puppies one by one and put them on his lap to feed them goat milk.
After a while, the couple seemed helpless and drove away again.
