Xu Guangling did not process the washed cucumbers immediately, but put them together on a plate.
He and Lao Lin were sitting at the small table, looking at the plate of cucumbers.
After a while, the second cucumber was just like the first one. The surfaces of both cucumbers were densely covered with gelatinous water.
"Can this cucumber be eaten?" Lao Lin muttered.
Of course you can eat it!
Old Lin also knew that it was edible. Not only could it be eaten, but it must be delicious, because just smelling the fragrance of the cucumber made his stomach growl involuntarily.
However, he has never seen such a cucumber in most of his life.
However, when he remembered that the entire vegetable garden was unreasonable, Lao Lin felt relieved. At this time, all he was focused on was waiting to eat.
"Old Lin, let me give you a beauty treatment."
Seeing the water oozing out from the cucumber's original needle-pricked area until the entire cucumber was covered, Xu Guangling did not think about eating it for the first time, but said to Lao Lin like this.
Although Lao Lin is from an older generation, he has also heard of beauty treatments.
"I'm an old man. I don't want to make people laugh at me when I do beauty treatments." He said this, and he also thought this way.
"There are no outsiders here, who is going to laugh at you?" Xu Guangling said with a smile.
Then Lao Lin started getting beauty treatments.
The liquid on the outside of the two cucumbers was combed out bit by bit with a kitchen knife.
The huge kitchen knife in Xu Guangling's hand felt as if it was wrapped around his fingers. With a rapid rotation, all the water was removed, but not even a tiny bit of the skin of the cucumber was removed!
Lao Lin was not a good person, and he didn't have much eyesight, but when he saw this scene, he was still stunned!
The quantity is just right.
Lao Lin's entire face was covered in paint, but there was nothing left.
Then, Lao Lin stared with big eyes. The fifty-year-old man was actually sitting at the table in a silly manner, while Xu Guangling was handling two cucumbers.
That is to say, take a picture, then add minced garlic and salt. The whole process couldn't be simpler.
Lao Tan brought garlic from home, but Xu Guangling didn't grow it. At first, Xu Guangling considered that the time from when the garlic cloves were implanted into the ground to when they grew seedlings and then when new garlic heads grew was too long, so he didn't grow it.
for consideration.
Now that I think about it, I can still plant it.
The outside of the cucumber is very sticky, but after patting it open, there is no glue-like liquid inside.
Xu Guangling was suddenly surprised by this.
After being picked, the cucumber is actually still growing, and the gelatinous water is its compound. In other words, it has just "grown", but there is no such thing inside the cucumber.
Even if there is, the amount should be minimal.
"Old Lin, how do you feel?" Xu Guangling asked Old Lin while handling the cucumbers.
"It's cool." Lao Lin replied.
After another two minutes, Xu Guangling didn't ask, he said again: "It's a bit itchy."
"It's okay, we'll see again later," Xu Guangling said.
It was all right. The first time he picked the cucumber, including the entire subsequent process, his nose had not been idle, and Shen Nong Jue had not been idle. Of course, he knew that in terms of nutrition, this cucumber was extremely good.
No matter how good it is.
The whole salad took about five minutes to prepare, actually three or four minutes.
Then Xu Guangling cooked another soup and added pancakes. This was the dinner for the two of them today.
In about ten minutes, Xu Guangling asked Lao Lin to wash his face.
After washing his face, Lao Lin kept touching his face unconsciously with his old hands. It was a pity that there was no mirror here, otherwise he would have taken a look. Because he felt that his face was really weird. It felt smooth and smooth to the touch.
It doesn't look like his own face at all.
"Xiao Xu, how are you?" Lao Lin asked Xu Guangling.
That kind of uneasiness was like "putting on makeup and bowing your head to ask your husband." Xu Guangling said funnyly: "It's okay, it seems that this cucumber can indeed be used for beauty."
Lao Lin didn't think much about it, and the two of them started eating.
Like the water spinach before, this cucumber is still fresh and delicious.
but!
It's a bit bitter and a bit astringent.
And the bitterness is not something that can be ignored.
In terms of pure taste, it already affected the taste quite a bit, but Lao Lin still ate it with gusto. Until there was not even a bit of dregs left on the plate, he couldn't help but smack his lips and said: "Xiao Xu, this is
The cucumbers are really good and delicious!”
Xu Guangling agreed with his assessment.
The bitterness is good for the heart, the astringency is good for the spleen and kidneys. As an old man, Lao Lin has been running around in the mountains and forests all year round, so his health is not that good, so this cucumber is very popular with his body. It is said that it is like the rain after a long drought.
It’s not an exaggeration either.
Therefore, the bitter taste will be instinctively judged as "tasteful" in his mouth.
But if little friends came to eat this plate of cucumbers, Xu Guangling felt that they would probably not find it very tasty.
Therefore, this cucumber may not be very suitable for cold salad, but it would be better for making soup. Xu Guangling thought this way, and then decided to make a cucumber and egg soup to try tomorrow.
After the meal, it was Lao Lin who cleared the table, while Xu Guangling slowly walked out of the station again and headed towards the mountain.
The forest trees are in full bloom in spring, and at this time, the leaves on the trees have already grown. After taking a few steps, you can already feel that you are "only in this mountain, and you don't know where to go in the depths of the forest", and it is almost dusk.
Dusk then became evening.
When the evening transitioned into real night, Lao Tan returned from patrolling the mountains.
"Old Lin, what did Mr. Xu cook today?" Eating dry biscuits and drinking boiled water, Lao Tan started his routine of "looking at the plum blossoms to quench his thirst". Even if he couldn't eat, he heard that Lao Lin said that he was addicted to it.
OK.
In person, Lao Tan calls Xu Guangling "Brother Xu" and Lao Lin calls Xu Guangling "Xiao Xu". Behind his back, they all call him "Mr. Xu", and they are full of respect, admiration and even awe.
If Xu Guangling knew about this, he wouldn't know whether to cry or laugh, maybe he couldn't laugh or cry.
In fact, the vegetable garden is right outside the door.
Even if Lao Tan comes back late, it is very convenient to go to the vegetable garden to pick something and come back to work on it. He doesn't even need a flashlight, just fumble around.
But when Xu Guangling was away, neither Lao Tan nor Lao Lin ever stepped into the unfenced vegetable garden, let alone picked anything in it.
Xu Guangling didn't expect this at all.
Otherwise, he would definitely tell the two of them to pick it up, just pick it up!
This is an oversight.
But at the current stage, to be honest, most of Xu Guangling's mind is immersed in thinking about "Qing" and the deduction of the basic techniques as a whole, and he has no intention or time to pay attention to too many other bits and pieces.
Listening to Xiao Tan's question, Old Lin couldn't help but smacked his lips again. The fragrance still lingered in his mouth, causing him to salivate a lot again. "Mr. Xu made mixed cucumbers, and he also used cucumber juice to smear my face."
.”
That's not cucumber juice at all!
But for an old man, there is no need to ask too much.
Hearing what he said, Lao Tan looked at Lao Lin's face, and this look made him startled, "Old Lin, why is your face so white!"
