The Garden Life of a Little Gardener

Sure enough, Chen Wenli came to ask Zhou Quan to borrow the car keys at night, and Bao Erlong who was at home with nothing to do came with him.

"Hey, why did you come here together?" Zhou Quan, who didn't know why, asked while handing over the car keys to Chen Wenli.

"Because Brother Wen Li didn't only care about you borrowing the car, he even borrowed the Wuling Zhiguang that I used for loading goods. The most outrageous thing is that he not only borrowed the car, but also borrowed people along with me. You have to go out with him to pick someone up."

"What's going on? Am I missing something?"

Bao Erlong laughed when he heard the words, ignored Chen Wenli's face that was getting closer and closer to the African brothers, and said gloatingly: "Brother Wenli has encountered a good thing, and Grandma Gu introduced him to a little sister. I contacted each other a few days ago, and they both thought it was okay, so I made an appointment and wanted to meet."

Grandma Gu is a well-known matchmaker in their village. From Aunt Gu to Grandma Gu, she is an absolute senior level.

So Zhou Quan understood what it meant when he heard it, and said with a smile: "It's a blind date, good thing, no wonder you want to borrow a car, you want to go out and play."

"It's not about going out to play. It's my sister who knows that our village is a famous flower village and is engaged in farmhouse entertainment. If she wants to come to our place to play, Brother Wen Li borrowed a car to pick her up."

"One car is not enough for our family? And I asked you to help? There should be a lot of people over there, right?"

"There are quite a few. The girl's family heard that she was going to meet. Don't worry about the girl being alone. It's not easy for the elders to come forward, so I asked the girl's cousin and cousin to accompany her. In addition, the girl was a beauty and hairdressing student at a technical school in our county. , many classmates and little sisters have heard about our village and know that she is coming for a blind date, so they all want to come and have fun. Counting the girls, there are a total of 9 people. They even booked the room. In Brother Shan's house, there are six girls and three boys, and Uncle Youde specially told him to entertain them well."

"Nine people? The lineup is really strong. It seems that this girl has a lot of 'natal family'. Brother Wen Li, you have to hold on."

Chen Wenli, who was teased, laughed and scolded a few words, and then said indifferently: "Xiaowen and the others actually wanted to come here by themselves at first, but they asked me to pick them up later because I have always heard that I have good driving skills and wanted to see It’s not what everyone says it is.”

"That girl likes to watch people drive? Then you're the right one. Erlong, don't forget to let me know when you pick her up. I'll watch the fun too."

"Don't worry, even if you don't want to go, we have to call you. There are nine of us over there and there are only two of us. How can we entertain you? Not only you, but even Brother Baozhen has to come to help after get off work."

"No problem, for Brother Wen Li's happiness, we will never hesitate as younger brothers."

The words were all good. If the two who were talking were not smiling all the time, Chen Wenli might have believed that they were all for themselves and had no intention of watching the show.

After being teased for a while, Chen Wenli finally roared angrily: "I believe in your evil, dare to make fun of me? I'll brush you two first, don't run and stop for me."

Of course, Bao Erlong and Zhou Quan couldn't stand still. You must know that Chen Wenli, who has been in the army for many years and later took control of the steering wheel, also has strong arms that cannot be underestimated.

If he catches her, and her brain collapses, there will definitely be a big bump on her forehead.

So the two people who had sang and "run" Chen Wenli just now ran around in the yard like a rabbit seeing an eagle, screaming.

But even so, it would not be easy for Chen Wenli to catch the two of them.

Because Zhouquan is familiar with the terrain of the yard and occupies the home field advantage, Bao Erlong is born with dexterity. Even though he is the roundest among the four brothers in terms of body size, he is absolutely nimble when running. Love the Assassin class.

If it's just like this, it's fine, but these two guys will cooperate when facing siege, relying on years of tacit understanding to cover each other.

After hearing the news, Chef Bao followed closely to 'help the evildoer', not only exited the reminder, but also took the initiative to stand there as a cover to block himself, and Chen Wenli's angry head almost didn't smoke.

In the end, the 'chasing battle' ended with Chen Wenli's defeat. Out of breath, he put his hands on his knees and panted heavily while saying: "My family is unfortunate, my family is really unfortunate, how could I know you guys."

Although the words in his mouth were complaints, there was joy in his eyes.

For so many years, the Faxiao who grew up together day and night worked hard for their own lives. Although they experienced separation, their friendship with each other has not changed. That chase and play seems to let time go back to the past, all the beautiful things in childhood Haunted again in their hearts.

After another dinner here, Chen Wenli dressed himself up the next day. Chen Wenli, who looked very energetic, drove into the city with his friend Bao Erlong.

Aunt Wen at the B&B is resting today, and only sister-in-law Qiao is the only cleaning staff in the guest room area. It just so happens that Zhouquan has nothing to do today, so she comes over to help her.

The guest rooms at the homestay are all basic work, that is, after the guests check out, the room is cleaned, and then the bedding used by the guests is removed and replaced with new ones.

As a member of the village, Qiao's sister-in-law would certainly not let Zhouquan, the village treasure, Zhouquan do any dirty and tiring work.

Zhou Quan's work is very simple, that is, to send the bed sheets, pillowcases, quilt covers and so on used by the guests that Mrs. After tidying up, Aunt Cai took back the washed bedding and handed it over to Sister-in-law Qiao.

There is no technical content in this job, Zhou Quan is just an errand runner, so Qiao's sister-in-law feels very distressed, saying that he is exhausted.

To Zhouquan's embarrassment, sister-in-law Qiao not only said this in front of him, but she also said this in the rest room when everyone was resting.

Zhou Quan, who was passing by, heard Qiao's sister-in-law say this: "To help me today, Ah Quan was exhausted, and I carried a lot of things to send there and then back, and ran for at least a dozen times over and over again. Second-rate."

The other aunts and uncles agreed again and again, and the caring tone made Zhouquan feel like a baby.

Zhou Quan, who was blushing, really wanted to shout: "Heaven and earth conscience, it's really not as exaggerated as my sister-in-law said. How far can they be in the same yard?"The area of ​​Baojia Homestay is large, but it is not to the point of anger.

Even if he went from the fourth entrance to the first entrance, it only took a few minutes to walk. As a grown up and strong young man, could it be considered a big deal to walk back and forth a dozen times?

However, what surprised Zhou Quan the most was that not only the staff of the homestay believed Mrs. Qiao's statement that "we are so tired", but even Chef Bao believed it.

So at today's lunch table, Zhouquan, who was exhausted, got a special dish for "replenishing the body", seafood and vegetable stew.

The recipe of this dish is very simple, but the ingredients are not easy to prepare in this season.

The seafood in this season has long lost the plumpness of summer and autumn. In the words of ordinary people, it is the time when there is no meat.

It is also difficult for Chef Bao. In this season, you can still find big sea crabs and sea shrimps with meaty heads, as well as those clams whose meat is pried out of their shells. The size is about the same as an egg. Curious, Zhou Quan picks it up and shakes it a few times. , the weight is a bit overwhelming.

In addition to these things, Chef Bao also prepared zucchini, tomatoes, baby vegetables, onions and vermicelli, and added some ingredients and condiments. These are all the ingredients for the seafood and vegetable pot.

Chef Bao washed the baby vegetables, cut the zucchini, tomatoes and onions into slices, put these things together with soaked vermicelli, seasoned ginger slices and garlic on the bottom of the rice cooker, and then put the sea crabs , sea prawns and flower strings are placed on top of the vegetables, put on the rice cooker and press the button directly.

No water or any other seasoning is added, the seafood and vegetables out of the pan are boiled with the original taste, and all the taste depends on the bowl of dipping sauce prepared by Chef Bao later.

The warm seafood and vegetable stew, Zhouquan stretched his chopsticks towards the crystal vermicelli between the vegetables and seafood when it was brought to the table.

The smooth Longkou vermicelli is full of the essence of seafood and the fragrance of vegetables, and it slides directly into Zhouquan's mouth without chewing.

"Well, the vermicelli is so delicious, fresh and smooth, and the shark's fin is nothing more than that. And those vegetables, it's a good thing to be placed underneath, full of the taste of seafood, the fragrance of zucchini and the sweet and sour tomato, in the Coupled with the unique sweetness of baby vegetables and onions, in this pot of vegetables, vegetables are actually more delicious than seafood? It’s so strange.”

What Zhou Quan said is absolutely true, the seafood placed on the top is all steamed out of the soup, which is absorbed by the vegetables on the bottom, so that the ingredients in this pot finally appear more delicious than crabs and shrimps. A strange pattern that is even more delicious.

But don't think that the seafood in it will become a supporting role. You must know that the name of this dish is seafood and vegetable stew, and the seafood is at the front.

Chef Bao, who was sitting on the other side of the kang table, heard Zhou Quan's admiration, and didn't say much. He just took a flower clam out of the pot, took out the meat inside, and swirled it in his special dipping sauce for a while. circle, then served into a well-rounded bowl.

Zhou Quan, who was swallowing the zucchini, directly grabbed the piece of clam meat with his hands and put it in his mouth. At first, he thought it tasted the same as those steamed clams he had eaten in the past, but after eating it, he realized that it was absolutely not. This bowl of dipping sauce has a lot of meaning inside.

"Ah, sweet, spicy, and pungent, what's that stuff that hits your head? Did you add mustard oil to the dipping sauce?"

"Well, not only mustard oil, but also Thai pepper rings and white radish puree. After eating it, is it particularly refreshing?"

"Refreshing, it's so refreshing, I woke up instantly. If I could have this kind of configuration when I was studying, why would I doze off at noon? Hey, Brother Baoyan, why did you give me all the clams? You can eat some yourself ?”

After throwing all the clam meat into Zhou Quan's bowl, Chef Bao wiped his hands calmly and said, "You need it more than I do."

Zhou Quan was a little dazed when he first heard this sentence, but when he realized it, he almost turned the table over.

"Damn it, are you despising me? Are you despising me?"
