Shanghai's Yangchun Noodles is a well-known bowl of noodles in Shanghai, and it is also the bowl of noodles that is the most "complained" by outsiders.
After leaving Shanghai, this bowl of noodles is hard to find elsewhere in the country.
The method of making Yangchun noodles is to boil the noodles with scallion oil, fried sea rice oil and water. After cooking, sprinkle with a few chopped green onions. The ingredients are not rich enough and the operation is not difficult, which makes this bowl of noodles look very bland.
But according to Lu Lu, the use of lard is the soul of this bowl of noodles.
Chen Xiuyu watched Lu Lu working in the kitchen for a long time, and the result was a bowl of noodles like this. After taking a bite, she shook her head.
Decisively, when Lu Lu fished out the noodles and poured them into the water, he made himself a refreshing and sweet soup, added her newly pickled spicy cabbage to relieve greasiness and appetizer, plus two soft-boiled eggs and slices of fried noodles.
The five flowers that came out suddenly became exciting.
When Lu Lu took a look, it was clearly the cold noodles from Northeast China!
Have a bowl of it on the dog days of summer to feel comfortable and cool off the heat.
I don’t know why, but it’s hard to see such delicious Northeast cold noodles after leaving Northeast China.
Even a few decades later, Northeastern barbecue and iron pot stew became popular all over the country, and the cold noodles that left the Northeast were still ignored.
But now, Lu Lu looked at Chen Xiuyu's bowl of cold noodles and suddenly felt that his Yangchun noodles were no longer fragrant.
"How about making me a bowl too?"
Lu Lu looked longingly at the big bowl of cold noodles in front of Chen Xiuyu and couldn't help but swallow.
Chen Xiuyu smiled brightly and pushed her cold face in front of Lu Lu: "You eat first."
She herself took Lu Lu's Yangchun noodles back to the kitchen and regarnished them.
Lu Lu was not polite and moved his chopsticks directly towards the bowl of cold noodles.
Only then did he realize that he preferred the colorful cold noodles from the Northeast to the bland Yangchun noodles.
This is generally true for the warmth and coldness of human relationships.
He suddenly realized that he should have come here for this wonderful experience, and there were some things that he should discard.
Chen Xiuyu came back with the noodles that had been rearranged and became nondescript. She smiled happily when she saw Lu Lu devouring the food and enjoying it very much.
In the past few days since he entered the mountain, Lu Lu had not slept well. After eating, he took a bath, climbed onto the kang before dark, and fell asleep soon after.
He didn't have the panic of being stalked by jackals, nor the nightmare of the cannon egg that almost killed him. This night, he slept peacefully.
When I woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning and I felt refreshed and refreshed.
When Lu Lu got off the kang and walked towards the river with the washing tools, he saw Chen Xiuyu leading Wang Yan and Pu Guiying to take out the bags of hazelnuts that had been fermented in the cellars, and placed them on the ground.
A large piece of nylon cloth was spread in front of the cellar, and each one was waving a short stick to knock the buds off.
Seeing Lu Lu washing up by the river, Pu Guiying looked at Chen Xiuyu with a sly smile on her face: "Sister Yu, look at how tired you have made your brother-in-law. He only got up at this hour. Can't you just take it easy!"
"You damn girl, what are you talking about? Brother Lu has been in the mountains for a few days and hasn't had a good night's sleep. It's hard to get back home, so of course you have to make up for it!" Chen Xiuyu pointed at her sister who was talking so freely.
Rolled his eyes.
"Yo yo yo, I'm still embarrassed to admit it, so just tell me. How many times did you go through it last night?"
Pu Guiying said with a smile: "Last time Yanzi and I lived on the big kang in your house, my brother-in-law came back at night and you two entered the bedroom. We were all listening, right Yanzi!"
Wang Yan's face turned red: "I didn't hear anything, I fell asleep."
"Yingzi, are you crazy about men? People from Xing'an Village over there in Hegang came to propose marriage. I heard that the conditions are good. You should agree and get married early. You can make as much trouble as you want in one night.
Times!" Chen Xiuyu also laughed and joked.
"The conditions are good, but it's too far away from us. I don't know anyone there. I don't know how I lived there. Besides, they don't have a big house like yours... I'll wait.
Besides, what if there are some young talents around here who can afford to build such a big house, and they just like me..."
Pu Guiying looked like a nymphomaniac and turned around to look at Wang Yan: "Yanzi is lucky. Brother Qing has been thinking about him for a long time. As soon as Brother Qing builds his big house next year, he will be able to enjoy the blessings. Don't you think so?
,swallow?"
Wang Yan's face suddenly turned red: "Sister Ying, don't talk nonsense!"
"Oh, I'm sorry. Don't think we don't know. Some people are hiding under the quilt and laughing every day! How many times have you been tossing it in your dreams?"
Pu Guiying had no intention of letting Wang Yan go, and the more she spoke, the more she spoke out.
These words made Chen Xiuyu and Wang Yan a little unable to bear it, and they looked at each other in confusion.
Chen Xiuyu pushed Pu Guiying and lowered her voice and said, "Yingzi, why didn't I realize you were so coquettish before?"
Wang Yan also nodded in agreement and whispered: "Sao!"
Pu Guiying curled her lips: "Prude..."
Lu Lu, who was squatting by the river and washing himself, never expected that building a wooden ridge by himself would change a girl's mind so much.
In her previous life, Pu Guiying was married to Xing'an Village on the other side of Hegang, but in this life, she seems to have been rejected.
After washing up, Lu Lu took the things back to the house and went to the cellar to watch Chen Xiuyu and the other two people tinkering with the hazelnuts. Lu Lu told Chen Xiuyu that this method of fermenting and removing the hazelnuts was very good.
Lu Lu picked up some hazelnuts from the nylon cloth and took them to the river to clean the impurities. He then put one into his mouth, bit it open, peeled the kernels and ate them.
Hazelnuts can be eaten raw or fried. They have two completely different flavors.
It is sweet when eaten raw, very fragrant when fried, and has a good stomach-tonifying effect.
At the same time, hazelnut kernels can also be used to make some snacks and stews, which is a rare good thing.
While Lu Lu was eating, he walked into the meadow and looked carefully at the forest slopes on both sides of the meadow.
As expected, the deer live alone, they are completely unsociable and stay away from each other. Fortunately, the two deer that were put in yesterday are still fine.
Although he still looks a little sluggish, his overall condition is much better than yesterday, at least he is eating.
The happiest person may be the stag.
It had already blended into the herd of deer, and when Lu Lu saw it, it was riding a deer in the forest.
However, he was frightened by Lu Lu's arrival and ran into the woods several times.
Lu Lu took a few quick glances, and after making sure everything was fine, he stepped back, not to interfere with their good deeds.
Afterwards, he inspected the fence around Caodianzi again and found no damage to the fence. Then he returned to the cellar and helped Chen Xiuyu and the others sort out the unbudded hazelnuts.
Seeing Lu Lu coming over, the three people who had been talking just now fell silent.
"Brother Lu, you go home and rest. We women can do this kind of thing!"
Chen Xiuyu was worried that Lu Lu would do this and be laughed at by her two sisters.
"It's all work, no matter what gender it is. Aren't they all the same? You can do it, but why can't I do it?"
Lu Lu simply replied and kept sorting at hand.
However, he soon discovered that when he was working with the three of them, the two little girls couldn't let go, and they always felt a little awkward.
So, after lunch, he stopped interfering in this matter. He put on his shotgun and prepared to look behind Xiushan Tun and hunt some small animals. The most important thing was to take a look at his fields.
of crops.
As soon as the six dogs saw Lu Lu walking outside the fence with a gun in his hand, they immediately trotted to follow.
During this period, after the militiamen were dispatched to drive away the wild animals, the Qiu Protection Team was still patrolling every day.
However, large wild animals were beaten or driven into the mountains. Jumping cats, pheasants, etc. were also shot with traps, and a lot of them were beaten with clamps. However, chipmunks and greyhounds who like to eat pine nuts and hazelnuts were among the woods.
But you can encounter it from time to time.
Lu Lu took the slingshot and shot all the way. When he arrived at the back mountain of Xiushan Tun, he already had two chipmunks and four greyhounds in his hunting bag.
Following Xiushan Tunhou Mountain, he went all the way down to his corn field, and after walking around in it, Lu Lu found that only a small area had been damaged by badgers, and the rest was pretty good.
He followed the traces left by the badgers and found the badger's hole in the woods, but it had been dug out first.
This thing, if caught, is worth more than a month's wages at least.
The crops on the black soil, with sufficient nutrition, are growing very well. Preliminary estimates suggest that there will be a good harvest by October.
He selected more than a dozen corn stalks, broke them off and put them in a hunting bag. He also chopped two corn stalks with a hunting knife and ate them like sugar cane. He walked down the mountain road to visit his family's rice fields.
In the evening, he was going to eat these corn cobs.
Whether it's boiled, roasted or fried, this corn has an incomparable flavor. Also, grinding these fresh and tender corns into a paste and baking them into corn pancakes in an iron pot will give you another sweet taste.
Unlike in later generations, the corn has almost lost its corn flavor.
All the way down to Xiushan Tunkou and then to the river ditch below, Lu Lu also chewed up the two sweet corn stalks in his hands.
At this time, the rice fields on both sides of the river were golden everywhere as far as the eye could see, and they were full of rice ears that were bending heavily and swaying in the mountain wind.
On the field ridge, several children were running around, catching grasshoppers.
Grasshoppers in this season are also the most plump. If you catch them, rinse them, remove their wings, and fry them in oil, they will definitely be a rare snack for children.
Even without oil, it can be stir-fried very fragrantly in the pot.
It is embarrassing to say that Lu Lu himself has not taken care of the three acres of rice field since the seedlings were planted.
At the beginning, Zhang Shaofeng helped to watch. After marrying Chen Xiuyu, Chen Xiuyu was mainly responsible for taking care of the fields, and the number of times he came to the fields himself was very few.
While he was checking his rice along the ridge of the field, Zhang Shaofeng led the twins who appeared out of nowhere.
"Brother Feng, are you so free?" Lu Lu asked with a smile as he looked at Zhang Shaofeng walking along the field ridge.
"There's nothing going on today. The two cubs wanted to eat grasshoppers, so I took them out to catch them." Zhang Shaofeng said with a smile.
In the hands of the two children, there were many grasshoppers strung on straw poles, and each one was still kicking its long legs.
"No school today?"
"Why go to school on Sunday?"
Zhang Shaofeng said and sat down on the field ridge.
Lu Lu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he didn't even know which day it was these days.
He also sat down next to him and asked, "How is your rice?"
"It's not bad. I paid the public rations this year and there's still a lot left over. I can have a few good meals of rice."
Zhang Shaofeng looked back and saw that Lu Lu had already drained the water and dried the rice fields waiting to be harvested: "Yours is not bad either."
After a pause, he continued: "Someone came to the village to look for you the day before yesterday, and even went to your house. Didn't you meet anyone?"
Lu Lu was stunned for a moment: "No! I was in the mountains the day before yesterday. Xiuyu and the others went into the mountains to pick hazelnuts, and there was no one at home. Brother Feng, who is here?"
"He's the director of the farm where you used to be an educated youth. What's his name..." Zhang Shaofeng scratched his head: "Why can't I remember it all of a sudden?"
"Raymond?" The only person Lu Lu could think of who would come to the farm was Raymond.
"Yes, yes...it's Raymond. He said that the farm will be harvesting soon and he came here to find some people. I just stopped by to see you!"
Lu Lu patted his head: "Why did you miss it...what else did he say?"
"I asked some about you, and I know that your boy is doing well in our place. He looks very happy. He feels like a very good person. You should go back and take a look when you have time!"
