Chapter 35 Crucian Carp and Lotus Root Soup

Li Wenxuan rode on the horse, while galloping, trying to get Tian Xiaoman to agree to go to his house to have fun, and let his father and mother see him.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Wenxuan decided to start with food.correct!His eyes lit up, there is a big lake next to Liushupo, and it is autumn, a good time to eat crabs, so he used this excuse to lure Xiaoman to go!

After thinking about it, Li Wenxuan swung his whip and galloped all the way.When he arrived at the entrance of the village, he happened to meet Aunt Yang. Knowing that he was looking for Tian Xiaoman, Aunt Yang told him that Xiaoman and the others were digging lotus roots at the lotus pond. Li Wenxuan thanked him and went there.

There are many villagers near the lotus pond. When they saw Li Wenxuan approaching, they all greeted him with a smile. It would be easy to form a good relationship. What if he could be rated higher next time when they buy meat?Li Wenxuan also smiled and nodded in response.

He arrived at the lotus pond, stood on it and looked down. After searching around, he found Tian Xiaoman. He was bending over, sticking out his buttocks, digging something into the mud.

He went around to Tian Xiaoman's side, squatted down enthusiastically, and observed Tian Xiaoman's movements.

After Tian Xiaoman touched seven or eight lotus roots, he felt that there was no room for them in the back basket, so he stood up and dumped the lotus roots on the grass by the bank. When he was about to go back and dig some more lotus roots, the slippery The thing passed over his instep again, Tian Xiaoman would not let it go now, bent down and stretched his hand into the water, but the thing was too slippery, Tian Xiaoman only touched it and ran away.

Angrily, Tian Xiaoman rolled up his sleeves, and decided not to go up today unless he caught it. Tian Xiaoman splashed water with his hands, drove the fish to a corner of the bank, and then scooped the fish into the water with his back basket. Then I lifted it up quickly, and after the water flowed down, I saw a few palm-sized crucian carp flopping about in the basket.

Tian Xiaoman was proud of his harvest, looked up happily, and saw Li Wenxuan squatting on the bank, looking at him leisurely.

Tian Xiao's face turned red, Li Wenxuan saw his stupid look just now!He couldn't help becoming angry from embarrassment, "Why are you silent when you come here! You want to scare me to death!"

"How dare I!" Li Wenxuan didn't know why Tian Xiaoman's cannon fire suddenly turned on him, and he groaned for himself, "Aren't I afraid that you will suddenly scare the fish away? If I scare them away, wouldn't it be in vain?" Do you put in a lot of effort?"

"..." Tian Xiaoman lost his temper at what he said. As soon as he put the basket on the bank, he put his hands on it, ready to climb up. Li Wenxuan quickly grabbed his hands and pulled him up.

As soon as Tian Xiaoman came up, he went to see the fish he had caught. He counted them, and there were four crucian carp in it, all of which were as big as an adult's palm. of.

Li Wenxuan praised him from the side at the right time, "Xiao Man, you are really amazing, you actually caught so many fish!"

Tian Xiaoman was unaware of Li Wenxuan's flattery, thinking that he really admired Li Wenxuan, and said, "Of course, I can catch a lot of fish every time!"

"Yes, yes, Xiaoman is the most powerful!" Li Wenxuan looked at Tian Xiaoman with a smile, and his tone was very doting. "However, the weather is relatively cold now, and you are all wet, otherwise, I will take you home and change your clothes first!"

After being told by Li Wenxuan, Tian Xiaoman felt a little cold. It was obviously not cold at all in the water just now, but now that he was blown by the wind when he went ashore, he felt cold all over his body.

Looking at his harvest, Tian Xiaoman was a little bit unwilling, but it's okay, anyway, his father is still digging here, and others can't say anything.After greeting Yang Xiaoguo, he rode on Li Wenxuan's horse and went home with him.Before leaving, he did not forget to bring his fish.The lotus root can't be taken away for the time being, and it can only be taken back after everyone has dug up the points.

When Tian Xiaoman returned home, he yelled as soon as he entered the courtyard, "Mum, Li Wenxuan is here!"

Tian Amu came out of the room as soon as she heard it, and immediately smiled when she saw Li Wenxuan, "Wenxuan, have you eaten yet? Amu will cook you two eggs?"

"Mum, no need, I'm pretty full now, I'll come back later when I'm hungry. Now I'll boil some water for Xiaoman and let him wash it, he's all wet." After speaking, Li Wenxuan went to the kitchen went.

After Tian Amu heard what he said, he turned his attention to Tian Xiaoman. Tian Xiaoman had already looked at his Amu sadly, what's going on?Why did his mother only see Li Wenxuan when he came?Still not a brother? !

Seeing Tian Xiaoman's gaze, Tian Amu couldn't help laughing, "Go back to your room and take off your wet pants, and I'll bring water to your room later! Go to bed and lie down, so you don't catch a cold!"

After Tian Amu finished speaking, he walked towards the kitchen. He had to cook a bowl of ginger soup for Tian Xiaoman to drink.

Li Wenxuan saw Tian Amu coming in, and quickly got up, "Amu, what are you going to do? I'll do it!"

"No, I'm going to make some ginger soup for Xiao Man to get rid of the cold."

"Oh, that's it." Li Wenxuan had no right to speak in terms of food, "Mum, can you let Xiaoman go to my house for two days?" First ask Yuemu for permission.

"Ah?" Tian Amu didn't hear his words clearly.

Li Wenxuan repeated it again.Tian Amu was stirring the pot while thinking, Wenxuan's family hasn't seen Xiaoman yet, so it's okay to go and meet him!

"You can, but you have to remember that you can't bully Xiaoman when the time comes, otherwise I won't be able to spare you!" Tian Amu added the accent on the word bullying. It is true that this bullying is not that bullying!Li Wenxuan also understood, and respectfully agreed.

After a while, the water was ready, Tian Amu brought the water to Tian Xiaoman's room, asked him to scrub, then changed into dry clothes, and then brought ginger soup for him to drink.

After Tian Xiaoman came out in dry clothes comfortably, Grandpa Tian also came back with some lotus roots. We have finished digging lotus roots today, and we will go digging again tomorrow.

Just as there was ready-made hot water in the pot, Aunt Tian asked Father Tian to take a bath.

Tian Xiaoman looked at the lotus root that his father brought back, and then at the crucian carp in the pot, and decided to have stewed crucian carp and lotus root soup today.

Tian Xiaoman first removes the scales, gills and intestines of the crucian carp and washes them clean.Then he asked Li Wenxuan to chop some onion, ginger and garlic for later use.Then fry the oil in a pan to heat up the fragrant peppercorns, then fry the crucian carp in a pan, cut until both sides are golden, put it out, and put it aside.

Take out the crock pot, add appropriate amount of water, put crucian carp, green onion, ginger and garlic into the pot, cover the pot and cook.Continue to cook after boiling.In order to make the soup more fragrant, Tian Xiaoman also put some peanuts in the pot to cook together.

After cooking for a while, Tian Xiaoman washed the lotus root, cut it into pieces, and put the lotus root into the pot to cook together.

When the lotus root is cooked, add some salt and stir well, then you can eat it.

The whole soup was milky white, Tian Xiaoman couldn't help smelling the aroma, took out a small bowl, sprinkled some chopped green onion on it, and drank it happily, he didn't forget to give Li Wenxuan a few sips after taking a few sips.
