Chapter 47: Fire-making must be cultivated from an early age
"The little wooden nest is nice, where did it come from?"
Brother Nan came down from upstairs. She was wearing light blue denim suspender shorts, a white T-shirt, and a pair of retro sneakers today.
She is tall and well-proportioned, and her long, tight legs are white and shiny.
The straps were loose, and one of them slipped from the shoulder and fell to the crook of the arm, making the youthful and sweet outfit look a little careless.
"I did it."
"Tsk, the workmanship is pretty good. You guys from the Li family are quite capable."
"Who else do you know from Lao Li's family?"
"I, Tang Taizong, Li Yunlong of Lin Zhengying's family." Brother Nan counted them one by one with his fingers.
". Then there are many capable people in your Lao Jiang family."
"What? Tell me."
"Jiang Ziya."
"Oh, let me tell you, I might be Jiang Ziya's descendant."
"Why?"
"I'm a fishing thief! What's that look in your eyes?"
Brother Nan looked at Li Mu with a look of disbelief and said, "Elbow, let's find a river. Brother Nan will let you open your eyes."
"It's getting dark."
“Night fishing can test the true level of a fisherman.”
"Aren't you hungry anymore?"
Brother Nan was stunned for a moment, "Actually, fishing at night is not interesting. It's just to feed mosquitoes."
Li Mu's lips curved into a smile.
Brother Nan squatted down and looked at the little wolf's den.
The sun has already set over the mountain, the leaves are rustling in the evening wind, and the broken clouds on the horizon are burning red.
The sunset travels thousands of miles, and tomorrow will be another good weather.
After admiring the beautiful scenery at dusk, Li Mu went to the firewood room and pushed out the mobile earth stove.
"Ni Mu, do you want to cook?"
"yes."
"Then Mr. Yoghurt won't go out hunting."
"You're getting lazy."
"All kittens are like this."
Yoghurt squatted there, with two big eyes shining and an innocent look on his face.
Li Mu surrendered instantly.
The chicken, fir and hen soup we had last time was so delicious that Brother Nan and Yogurt talked about eating it several times next time. Li Mu also thought it tasted good.
But the old hen is gone, but the chicken fir and some fungi are still there.
Li Mu thought about it. Last time Director Zhao came to get a piece of Jinhua ham, it was his uncle who asked him to bring it to him.
Let's make a ham and mushroom soup.
After making a decision, I started to pack up. I washed and steamed the rice first, and then I took out the Jinhua ham and put it on the cutting board.
"Nimu, what is this?"
"Ham is the back leg of a pig."
Li Mu saw that the kitten was a little confused and opened his mouth to explain.
"Hmm, wild boar?" Yoghurt's eyes lit up. She had never eaten wild boar and she couldn't afford to offend a wild boar.
"No, they are pigs raised by humans."
"Hmm."
"It's also delicious. Would you like to try it, Yogurt-sama?"
"Try it."
brush!
Li Mu picked up the knife, cut a piece, and handed it to the kitten.
"Mmm, delicious!"
The meat of the ham is tough, and the kitten chews it hard, and the more it chews, the more fragrant it becomes.
"Brother Nan, do you want to try it?" Li Mu saw that Brother Nan had walked over and stared at the ham on the cutting board.
"Have a piece."
"Give."
Li Mu raised the knife and lowered it. Another piece of ham was cut off, and he handed it to Brother Nan with the knife.
"Have you ever worked in the back kitchen of a ramen restaurant?"
The ham on the knife looked so thin, like paper.
"If you cut it thickly, you won't be able to chew it, but it tastes better when it's cooked."
"Bang!" Brother Nan was grand and did not have the same experience as this person.
"Ah~" Brother Nan opened his mouth, "I just touched the wolf cub and didn't wash my hands."
Li Mu hesitated for a moment, then picked up the ham and handed it to Brother Nan's mouth. Brother Nan opened his mouth and took the ham in his mouth. Her teeth are so white and neat.
"Well, it tastes really good, salty but not strong, fragrant but not greasy."
Brother Nan chewed it twice and said, "I'm going to wash my hands and I'll light the fire later."
Li Mu didn't say anything. In fact, he also wanted to try burning it.
Not long after, Brother Nan moved a small bench and sat in front of the stove, preparing to light a fire.
Dried weeds were used to start the fire.
When I first came to the forest ranger's courtyard, the grass that I asked the golden monkey to help pull was piled in the corner of the yard. Two months later, it has dried.
The mushrooms and ham were in the pot, and Li Mu had nothing to do now.
"Why are you always watching what I do?"
Brother Nan had noticed Li Mu secretly staring at her several times, and subconsciously wanted to cover his stupid hair with his hands.
"emm"
"Say what you have to say quickly, don't act like a bitch."
"I'll light the fire."
"Hey, it turns out you want to play with fire too."
"."
People can't help but interpret another meaning of what Brother Nan said.
Li Mu sat on the small bench, inexplicably a little excited. The last time he lit a fire was in the countryside when he was a child.
Add some new firewood to the stove hole, and occasionally the wood will make a banging sound and explode with sparks.
Yogurt squatted at Li Mu's feet and stared at the stove hole without blinking.
"Here, put this in." Brother Nan brought two sweet potatoes over, "Put it in and burn it."
"Roasted sweet potatoes." Li Mu was a little excited. When he was a child, he always threw a sweet potato into the fire. After the fire was finished, he just ate the roasted sweet potatoes.
Why didn't he think of that? It has to be Brother Nan who knows how to eat it.
"You can't? If you don't, I'll do it."
"I can!" Li Mu skillfully held the sweet potatoes with tongs and placed them on both sides of the stove where the fire could not reach them.
"Is my cooking good?" Li Mu said to Brother Nan who looked into the stove hole.
"What?"
"Fire, look, I built a pagoda with firewood. This will help with ventilation and burn more thoroughly."
"I'm sick. Don't burn the sweet potatoes!" Brother Nan got up and left. He wanted to stay away from this stupid man and don't make her stupid.
Li Mu didn't feel surprised at all when he heard Brother Nan's words.
In his eyes, Brother Nan is not a normal person. An abnormal person cannot understand what he, a normal person, does, but it is normal.
"Master Yoghurt, do you want to light the fire?" Li Mu looked at the kitten who was staring at the stove hole very intently.
"Okay!"
The kitten stood up immediately, its eyes bright.
"Let's try the yogurt, Sir." Li Mu made room for the fire and placed the small bench closer to the stove hole.
Yoghurt jumped on the small bench, picked up a branch with his paws, and threw it into the fire.
"Ni Mu, look!"
"Master Yoghurt is so awesome."
"Yes!" The kitten was very happy after successfully burning a branch.
"Come, take a closer look." Li Mu waved to the little wolf cub.
The three wolf cubs came out of the den at some unknown time and were squatting there in the distance, stretching their necks to watch the yogurt burn.
Hearing Li Mu's call, the wolf cubs stood up and took two steps forward. When they heard the banging sound of the firewood, they stepped back in fright.
Wild wolves are afraid of fire, this is their instinct.
"It's okay, don't be afraid." Li Mu softly comforted Xiaolang, "The fire only burns in the kitchen hall, and it can't burn you."
Hearing what Li Mu said, the three little wolves took small steps and walked slowly to his feet, staring at the yogurt to light the fire.
After watching it for a while, they found that although the wood made a banging sound, it really couldn't burn them, and the wolf cubs were eager to try it.
"Master Yoghurt, we will help you."
When they saw that Yoghurt was squatting on a small bench and it was inconvenient to hook firewood, the three wolves picked up branches and handed them to Yoghurt.
With a smile on her face, Li Mu took out her mobile phone to record this magical and heartwarming scene.
In the picture, one by one, the wolf cubs picked up firewood from the ground and handed it to the yogurt on the bench. The yogurt took it and put it into the stove hole.
There was a click and a flash of light.
Li Mu turned around and saw that Brother Nan was taking pictures with his mobile phone some distance away.
Put the little wolf who made the fire, the yogurt and him into the camera.
Brother Nan lowered his head and looked at the screen of his mobile phone and smiled. He seemed very satisfied with the photos taken.
The yard was gradually filled with the aroma of ham and mushrooms.
