With the arrival of Tang Tian and others, the tense atmosphere between the old men and Jiang Che quickly dissipated.
They all stood up with a smile and began to clear the things on the table.
Originally, I was a little embarrassed to come to Jiang Che's house empty-handed, but they came in a hurry this time and really didn't prepare anything good, so they thought they might as well come over next time to make up for it.
The courtyard door was pushed open, and my father and second uncle just came back with hoes on their backs. Just now, after the second uncle saw off Mr. Tang and the others, they also went to the fields with hoes on their backs.
The weather is hot in summer, and it is easy for the rice fields to lack water, so we have to dig canals to divert water from time to time.
"Uncle Dad, you are back. Go wash up and have breakfast."
Jiang Che immediately stepped forward to greet him.
"Well, you eat first, we'll be back soon."
Jiang Yunshan took off his straw hat and said with a smile.
Tang Tian and Hu Lili were busy serving tofu and handing out bowls and chopsticks. They were very busy.
"A few old men should try the pickles we pickle in the countryside and see if they like it. It would be best to eat it with tofu pudding."
My mother and my second aunt each carried two plates of pickles, including pickled salted radish strips, sour cowpeas, pickled cabbage heads, and the last one was black granular pickles covered with bright red chili sauce.
This is actually a kind of wild ginger in the mountains, commonly known as ghost ginger. This kind of wild ginger does not have the spicy and pungent taste of ginger.
After being pickled into pickles, the skin will appear black, the meat will be crispy and refreshing, and the taste will be unique, making it perfect for eating with rice.
These pickled pickles are all made by my mother, and these skills are also passed down to my grandmother. The flavor is absolutely first-class.
Jiang Che has been fond of this food since he was a child, especially the pickles made with Guizijing, which are hard to find outside.
"Ms. Chen, you're welcome. Pickles are a good thing. This seems to be devil's ginger, right?"
"Oh, I remember when I went to the southern jungle for inspection and stayed at a farmhouse. That was the first time I ate this pickled wild ginger. It has been more than ten years and I haven't eaten it again. I really miss it. It's such a good thing.
ah!"
Mr. Pan said excitedly when he saw a plate of wild ginger.
It can be seen how much the old man misses this bite. There are many wild gingers in the woods in the south, and there are not many specially cultivated ones in the countryside.
But only the wild ones have that unique taste.
"Really? Then Mr. Pan, try it later to see if it tastes like what you eat?"
Chen Xiuzhi put down the plate with a smile, and her father and uncle had also washed up at this time.
Jiang Che's family was not here yet, so everyone was too embarrassed to sit down.
"A few old men should sit down, everyone should sit down. There are not so many rules in the countryside..."
Jiang Yunshan came out and immediately greeted everyone to sit down with a beaming face, and then everyone sat down one after another.
"Try them all. Freshly baked tofu is the best. There is soy sauce and sugar. You can add whatever flavor you want."
Chen Xiuzhi smiled and asked everyone to use their chopsticks.
In Huaxi Village in the early morning, the sun has not yet penetrated the fog in the mountains, and it is a little cool inside the small courtyard.
The warm breakfast, with just a few plates of pickles, is full of the atmosphere of farm life.
The freshly baked tofu is white and tender, with just the right proportion of brine and smells very sweet.
"I like sweet tofu puffs."
"Auntie, what flavor do you like? I'll add it for you. Thank you for teaching me how to make tofu puffs. This is my first time making tofu puffs by myself!"
Tang Tian pulled the sugar bowl filled with sugar and said sweetly.
"Auntie also likes sweets."
Chen Xiuzhi said with a smile.
"Really? Hehe, I just said sweet tofu is the correct way to eat it. Anyone who eats salty tofu is a heretic. Come here, auntie, I'll add sugar for you."
Tang Tian scooped up a large spoonful of sugar and poured it on Chen Xiuzhi. Chen Xiuzhi smiled and stretched out the bowl to pick up the sugar.
Jiang Che's eyes twitched, feeling that something was wrong with the way his mother looked at Tang Tian.
Mr. Tang, who was pouring soy sauce into the tofu brain, glared at Tang Tian angrily.
"I'm about to start. What does the tofu puff made by myself taste like? I'm really looking forward to it!"
Tang Tian scooped up a spoonful of tofu. The tender tofu was trembling on the spoon, as if it was about to break at any time.
Tang Tian stuffed it into his mouth in one gulp. The sweet and silky tofu brain was extremely tender and smooth, sliding on the tip of his tongue. It was full of tofu flavor and smooth. It was so delicious. Sure enough, the food that you personally participated in making would be more delicious.
A slow sense of happiness.
Tang Tian immediately narrowed his eyes, revealing his beautiful dimples.
Seeing how much Tang Tian was enjoying the drink, everyone moved their spoons and took a mouthful of tofu balls. The three old men's eyes also lit up.
The craftsmanship is indeed outstanding, it is delicate and smooth, without a trace of gypsum smell, and it is full of bean aroma. It is no different from the tofu curd made by the chef of the star hotel.
After the three people drank the tofu nao, they started to taste the pickles, and the unique flavor conquered their taste buds immediately.
Mr. Pan had a special liking for devil ginger. He picked one up and put it in his mouth to taste it carefully, just like tasting top-quality caviar.
"Xiao Che, Lingzhi suddenly called back this morning and said that she was in town around ten o'clock today. Didn't you buy a car? Help me pick her up."
While eating, my second uncle Jiang Yunhai suddenly said.
"Ah, why did Ganoderma lucidum come here at this time? Didn't you say you were working during the summer vacation?"
Jiang Che asked with some confusion.
"I don't know either. That girl suddenly called me this morning and said she was back."
The second uncle shook his head and said.
"Well, I understand, uncle, I happened to go to town to buy some things at noon."
Jiang Che nodded and agreed, Ganoderma lucidum is the second uncle's daughter, and her grandfather gave her this name.
My cousin had poor health when she was a child, so her grandfather went to the mountains to pick Ganoderma lucidum to replenish the little girl's health, so that she could grow up safely. Because Ganoderma lucidum gave the little girl a good constitution, he gave her this name.
I didn't have time to buy a refrigerator last time, so I just went to town to bring it back this time. I also had to buy worry-free toys and speakers.
"Woof woof, woof..." Yuanbao suddenly called out aggrievedly twice behind Jiang Che: "What's going on? How come you forgot Yuanbao while you were eating, little master?"
Jiang Che quickly put down the bowl and spoon and rubbed Yuan Bao's head.
"I'm sorry Yuanbao, I was so busy that I forgot. I'm going to prepare something delicious for you."
Jiang Che got up and ran to the kitchen, and Yuan Bao followed him in a hurry.
Jiang Che cooked in the kitchen for a while, heated up the broth from last night, cut a few pieces of raw pork and put them into Yuanbao's basin, and then prepared a bowl of spiritual water for Yuanbao.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ
"Okay Yuanbao, let's go out to eat."
Yuan Bao jumped up excitedly and looked at the rice bowl in Jiang Che's hand, almost crying.
Jiang Che came to the shack and patted Yuan Bao on the head: "Eat slowly."
"Wow, little master is the best."
He immediately put his head down and started cooking in the basin, being very particular about taking one mouthful of rice and one mouthful of water.
But what Jiang Che didn't notice was the pheasant on the persimmon tree, and his eyes widened when he saw Ling Shui next to Yuan Bao.
Seeing Yuan Bao forgetfully cooking, the pheasant suddenly flew down from the tree and went straight to Yuan Bao who was immersed in cooking.
"Ouch, woof woof, it's you bitch again, I'm going to bite you to death, bite you to death."
Yuanbao's scream immediately attracted the big guys who were eating, and they all looked over.
"Isn't this pheasant too thief? It also sneaks up on Yuanbao even when he's eating."
Tang Tian said angrily, going up to drive the pheasants away.
But the pheasant succeeded with one blow, and immediately flapped its wings and fled away. Yuan Bao was so angry that he didn't even eat, so he opened the door and chased after him.
"Don't chase Yuanbao." Jiang Che shouted, but Yuanbao, who was so angry, could not listen.
The barking sound gradually faded away.
The people at the table looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh. Yuan Bao was so difficult. Why did he provoke such a vengeful pheasant?
While everyone was eating and chatting, a dark shadow flew over their heads and everyone immediately looked over.
Then I saw that the pheasant that flew away came back again, but the two yuan treasure did not come.
"Gu Gu Gu Gu..."
The pheasant cooed for a few steps in the yard, then ran to Yuan Bao's rice bowl as if no one was watching and drank the spiritual water with his head down.
Jiang Che's eyes twitched, this pheasant is too much of a thief, he already knows how to use tricks?!
