Chapter 266

After the pineapple is peeled, soak it in salt water for 5 minutes.

Bromelain can stimulate the oral mucosa. Soak pineapple slices in light salt water before eating, which can kill protease and avoid oral stinging.

After soaking, wash it again with clean water, and then cut it into small cubes for later use.

The diced pineapple filled a large glass bowl.

Chen Er took out a small bowl of diced pineapple and put most of the remaining diced pineapple into the juicer to squeeze it into fresh juice.

"At this time, you need to use the magic gel - agar powder!"

Add agar powder and diced pineapple to the squeezed juice, stir well, pour it into a mold, smooth the surface, and put it in the refrigerator to refrigerate.

"After shaping, take it out and cut it, and then add cream."

"However, I have to say that the cream in ancient times is still different from the cream we eat now..."

As Chen Er spoke, he quickly waved his hands.

"However, ancient cream is more difficult to make, so I won't make it. If you want to know about ancient cream, you can refer to the book "Heavenly Creation."

After a while, the ham and fresh bamboo shoot soup was also stewed.

Chen Er extinguished the fire in the stove before removing the lid of the pot to prevent the smell of smoke from entering the pot.

"Smelling this smell, I finally understand why people in Yangzhou call it Yichuanxian."

As soon as the lid of the pot was lifted, the countless hot air was like the torrential rain swaying on the ground in the scorching sun, pouring out a whistling white smoke in the ground.

There is an unspeakable aroma in the humid heat.

This is a scent that is very close to the earth.

The aroma carries the scent that each of us is most familiar with.

It's like the stream flowing slowly around my home when I was a child, and when it rains, it takes away a few petals or leaves by the river.

Wet and moist, but also with an incomparably intimate sense of familiarity.

Chen Er couldn't help but took a deep breath.

The aroma hovered in the chest, with a warm current.

As if this breath is the spring day, you can see the new green shoots above your head without looking up.

Under the sunlight, it reveals a hazy yellow-green luster.

"Okay, today's dishes are ready."

Chen Er scooped a large pot of ham and fresh bamboo shoot soup into six large porcelain bowls.

Then put it into a black lacquered wooden food box.

Tea eggs invade the earth: "Didn't Chen Laoshi cook his own dishes today?"

Chen Er looked very righteous at the moment, "Don't eat, don't eat..."

"Lest you always say that I bully you."

"Bye-Bye."

As Chen Er spoke, he waved his hand towards the screen, and then turned off the live broadcast.

He walked out of the kitchen with a food box.

The neighbor's family is eating in the yard.

There happened to be a very lush osmanthus tree blooming there.

The neighbor's child jumped up and reached for an osmanthus, and then rolled down a handful of osmanthus.

"You're making a fool!"

The child's mother quickly put down the chopsticks in her hand and grabbed the child's ears.

"It's not good to eat! You can play in one day!"

"Hurry up! Eat well!"

The child was dragged back to the dining table, reluctantly picking up the rice in the bowl.

His eyes were darting around, and then he saw Chen Er walking through the door.

"Uncle Ear is back!"

The child quickly put down the bowl in his hand, as if he had found an opportunity, he rushed to the door with a "huh" and hugged Chen Er's thigh.

He looked at Chen Er with a smile.

"Uncle, when did you come back!"

Chen Er reached out and stroked his messy hair.

"just."

Seeing Chen Er standing at the door, the children's family hurried over.

Say hello to Chen Er.

When they saw Chen Er carrying the food box in his hand, they immediately understood the purpose of Chen Er's return.

"You are promising now, and your parents will be happy too."

The neighbor's mother smiled very relieved.

Chen Er smiled slightly, "Maybe."

The neighbor's father reached out and patted Chen Er's shoulder.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, I've grown so tall."

Listening to the friendly accent, Chen Er felt a little emotional for a moment.

"Uncle, go ahead and eat, I'm going too."

The neighbor's family stood at the door, watching Chen Er walk out of the village, and his figure gradually disappeared on the path leading to the mountain.

It took a long time before he let out a sigh, both regretful and helpless.

Chen Er walked slowly on the path carrying the food box.

The tall trees on both sides of the path cast dappled light and shade.

It seems that every time you step on the ground, you can catch a halo.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Chen Er finally saw his destination.

Here is a flat land with a wide view.

A tall pear tree is planted by the roadside, and the branches are covered with green pears.

Smell the aroma, it should be almost ripe.

I don’t know when I can eat it.

Chen Er walked around behind the pear tree, stopped, looked at a small patch of dirt on the ground and said, "I'm here to see you again."

There are tombstones made of stone slabs standing in front of the small soil bags.

After a long period of exposure to wind and sun, the inscriptions on many tombstones are no longer clearly visible.

Chen Er sat down slowly in front of the two small soil bags closest to him.

Then two bowls of hot ham and fresh bamboo shoot soup were brought out from the food box.

They are placed in front of the two tombstones respectively.

One of the tombstones is written with loving father Chen Dong, and the other is written with loving mother Xiao Ying.

Chen Er adjusted a more comfortable sitting position on the ground, pulled out a wild flower on the ground and placed it in front of the tombstone that read "Mother Xiaoying".

Then he pulled out another dog's tail grass and placed it in front of another tombstone.

"Hey, I'm not a eccentric person. If there is mother's, there will be yours."

"Today's soup is good and fresh enough. By the way, I haven't been back for a while."

Chen Er said, looking around, "Fortunately, the location here is good, and there are many friends around, so you won't be too lonely."

After Chen Er finished speaking, he sat there quietly for a while.

He raised his head and stared blankly at the leafy pear tree above his head.

It wasn't until a gust of wind blew by and a few leaves fell that Chen Er got up from the ground.

"Okay, I still want to go see grandpa, grandma... great grandpa, great grandma."

"This soup won't taste good when it's cold."

After Chen Er finished speaking, he picked up the food box, walked a few steps inside, and found two other slightly older tombstones, each with a bowl of soup.

After chatting a few more casual words, I picked up the food box again and walked a certain distance inside.

The further you go in, the more desolate the cemetery becomes.

The font on the tombstone has also changed into traditional characters, which is very old at first glance.

Chen Er was talking to himself while looking for the tombstones of his great-grandfather and great-grandmother.

"Why didn't I find that the two elders were buried in such a place before..."

Finally, two dilapidated tombstones were found in the corners.

Chen Er put the food box away, and then pulled out the surrounding weeds first.

Only then did the two bowls of soup in the food box come out.

Chen Er has no impression of the second elder at all.

Not only Chen Er has no impression of this, even his grandparents have no impression of the two ancestors.

Because the two ancestors died when Grandpa Chen Er was very young.
