talk about wine

The stinky yellow wattle has a unique smell and is easy to identify. After picking a bundle, Zhou Qingwu returned to Qingyang Town by car.

After going to the mulberry garden, Zhou Qingwu took Zhou Nian'an home first, Zhou Nian'an was a little curious: "Sister Qingwu, don't you wait for sister Chuxi to go home together?"

Zhou Qingwu smiled and shook his head: "No, sister Chuxi will be back late today, we'll go back and cook first, and we can eat when she comes back."

Zhou Nian'an looked at it and nodded. She helped to carry the hibiscus flower, and looked curiously at the bundle of leaves in Zhou Qingwu's hand: "Sister Qingwu, what did you pick? It smells a little strange."

Zhou Qingwu picked it up and looked at it, and said mysteriously: "Good food, your sister Chuxi likes to eat it, and Nian'an will try it when it's ready. It's very good, and it's most suitable for summer."

Zhou Nian'an was full of surprise: "It's amazing, I feel that Sister Qingwu and Sister Chuxi know a lot of delicious food, I have never seen or heard of it."

Zhou Qingwu smiled and said: "The one who is amazing is sister Chu Xi, she taught me a lot of what I know."

Zhou Nian'an pursed her lips and smiled, tilted her head to look at Zhou Qingwu and said, "I know, in Sister Qingwu's heart, Sister Chuxi is the most powerful."

Zhou Qingwu blushed, reached out and pinched her ears: "You're naughty again."

Looking at the sky, it was getting late, and it would take time to make these meals, so Zhou Qingwu began to prepare.Zhou Nian'an followed her curiously, watching Zhou Qingwu burn the clean thatch to ashes.

"Sister Qingwu, what do you want with plant ash?"

Zhou Qingwu watched the fire burn out little by little, and patiently explained: "To make Guanyin tofu later, you need to use clarified plant ash water to marinate."

"Hmm." Zhou Nian'an thought it was amazing.

The practice of Guanyin tofu is much simpler and more convenient than the tofu at home.Two people sat on the mat and picked off the good leaves and cleaned them.

After washing, soak the leaves in an appropriate amount of water, then Zhou Qingwu grasped the leaves with both hands and signaled Zhou Nian'an to look at them: "Here, just keep scrubbing like this to get out all the juice inside."

The leaves of Stinky Vitex seem not to be plump, but also harder.But after rubbing it in the water, the dark green slimy juice immediately oozes out, and the more you rub it, the green foam is still present, which is very interesting.Zhou Nian'an rubbed it vigorously, and the unique scent of stinky yellow wattle on the nose was so strong that it seemed to be fermenting. Although it was called stinky yellow wattle, it didn't smell bad.

The two of them moved swiftly, and soon the leaves were crushed, and the water in the basin had turned a thick dark green.

The next process is not complicated, filter the residue with gauze, and evenly sprinkle the filtered plant ash in the juice.Cover it with something, Zhou Qingwu said with a sigh of relief: "The next step is the most critical step, whether it will be successful depends on whether it can be condensed into tofu in the end."

"Yeah, it can definitely be done." Zhou Nian'an nodded again and again, confident in Zhou Qingwu.

After finishing all this, Zhou Qingwu and Zhou Nian'an started to prepare dinner.The picked hibiscus flowers remove the green flower stalks, leaving only white flowers.Zhou Nian'an liked hibiscus flowers very much, and kept one on his skirt, which made Zhou Qingwu laugh.

"This flower is so beautiful, and it's edible, it's really great."

"Yeah, I used to only know that it looks good but I didn't know that it was delicious. Tonight I will cook a dish with it, and Nian'an will be blessed." After picking the flowers, Zhou Qingwu put the rice into the pot and cooked it. Fire, go to prepare the ingredients to eat Guanyin tofu.

There are also some pecans and peanuts at home, and the leftover dried mulberry and raspberry jam can be used to eat with it.

Stir-fry the peanuts and grind them into crushed peanuts, add walnuts, goji berries and dried mulberries, and put them in when you eat them later.

Just as the things were getting ready, a humming and chirping sound came over, and Zhou Qingwu knew Meng Chuxi was back when he heard the sound.

She hurriedly washed her hands and went out with the ingredients. Sure enough, Meng Chuxi came back. Her cheeks were slightly red and there was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead. She looked very hard.

"What are you doing?" Meng Chuxi smiled when he saw what Zhou Qingwu was holding in his hand.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Qingwu felt distressed on his face: "Look at your sweaty head, you must be exhausted. I'm cooking, and today I went back to Zhoujia Village to pick stinky yellow wattles and make Guanyin tofu. You can eat it right away. Lah. You go to take a bath and rest for a while, and then eat after washing, okay?"

While talking, Zhou Nian'an pinched a wet handkerchief and ran out to hand it to Meng Chuxi: "Sister Chuxi, wipe off your sweat."

Meng Chuxi smiled brightly: "Okay, thank you Nian'an, you're so good." After she finished speaking, she wiped her face and neck, shook her head and said, "It's okay, I'll wipe it off first, and I'll take a bath after eating, or I'll be sweating again."

Zhou Qingwu thought about it for a while, so he dragged her to the table where the tofu was placed: "I made it with Nian'an, I haven't watched it yet, I don't know if it will work."

Meng Chuxi glanced at her, with a slight smile in his eyes: "We Qingwu are smart and capable, we will definitely succeed." After speaking, he lifted the outer lid, and the original juice inside condensed into a paste. After shaking the basin, the tofu inside The jelly generally bounced.

Meng Chuxi raised her eyebrows: "Well, it's very beautifully done."

Zhou Nian'an looked at the tofu inside and wowed: "Well, it's so beautiful, it looks so soft and smooth."

The corners of Zhou Qingwu's mouth couldn't help but rise: "Nian'an, go, get the bowls, chopsticks and knives."

The knife is cut down and cut into uniform blocks. This tofu is well coagulated and full of elasticity. It can be scooped out directly after being cut into pieces.

The green tofu is still trembling in the bowl, sprinkle the ingredients on it, and then pour a spoonful of brown sugar water, and the bowl of dessert that is most suitable for summer is ready.Take a bite, the sweet juice is paired with smooth and cold tofu, with a unique fragrance, and the heat will disappear.

"Oh, it's delicious, this tofu tastes so soft and smooth." Zhou Nian'an's eyes lit up, and he started to eat.

"It's fine if you like it, there's a lot more. But I'm going to eat later, so I can't eat too much." Speaking of this, Zhou Qingwu put down the bowl and went into the house to get busy when he thought of the food in the kitchen.Meng Chuxi turned to watch her go in, reached out to pick up her bowl, and followed into the kitchen.

Seeing her coming in, Zhou Qingwu smiled and said, "It's a bit hot today, what are you doing in the kitchen? Go out and finish the tofu, just wait for me to cook."

Meng Chuxi didn't go out, scooped up the tofu and said with a smile, "Did you make it for me specially because of the hot weather?"

The smile on that face was so condescending, Zhou Qingwu snorted: "I think too much, I want to eat it myself, and Nian'an hasn't eaten it yet, so why do I have to make it for you specially."

Meng Chuxi looked at her fixedly, with an increasingly aggrieved expression: "With Nian'an, you won't hurt me anymore. In the past, you must have done it for me."

Zhou Qingwu rolled his eyes at her, angry and funny: "Nian'an is seven years old, how old are you?"

Meng Chuxi put down the bowl and put her hands behind her back, and said in a childish voice, "Sister, I'm eight years old."

"Pfft, fuck you." Zhou Qingwu couldn't help laughing because of her teasing, and waved her hand to drive her out. Meng Chuxi smiled, but didn't go out, and asked her, "What's for dinner tonight?"

Zhou Qingwu hummed, and thought for a while: "It has been raining a lot these past few days, Luo Wu's father-in-law caught a lot of fish today, and Luo Wu insisted on giving us some, I just want a grass carp, and use half of it to make a fish hot pot tonight. In addition, when I went back today, I found that the hibiscus flowers you planted are blooming very well, and I picked some, how do you say it should be done well?"

"The hibiscus flower is blooming?" Meng Chuxi was a little surprised. She looked at it and it was indeed blooming well. She thought for a while: "You can use hibiscus flowers to scramble eggs, and the taste is also good. Tomorrow I will make fragrant fried hibiscus flowers for you. taste."

"Well, good." Zhou Qingwu cracked two eggs neatly, let's go, picked a few peppers at home, circled the red and green peppers together, prepared the ginger and garlic, and waited for the cooking.

Zhou Qingwu didn't let Meng Chuxi do anything, so she could only eat Guanyin tofu and watch, and occasionally took advantage of the gap to feed Zhou Qingwu, making the meal sticky.

Although there are only two dishes for dinner, a plate of grilled fish and a plate of scrambled eggs with hibiscus flowers, the dishes are all first-class.There are various side dishes in the grilled fish, including pumpkin, cucumber, shredded lotus root, peanuts, and vegetables.Spicy and delicious, there is nothing better to serve with rice.

The fresh fish is grilled over a charcoal fire, and the marinade is well done before. The fish tastes like garlic cloves, very tender.The side dishes are filled with the soup of the grilled fish, which is very tasty. When moved to the yard, the cool breeze at dusk can blow away the heat without feeling stuffy.

Hibiscus flower is a fresh dish. After being fried with oil, hibiscus flower completely loses its original beautiful appearance. The flowers are huddled together, but it tastes smooth and tender. The unique mucus makes people eat it. Eggs The fresh fragrance mixed with the tenderness of the petals is unexpectedly delicious.

This peaceful day lasted for three days, and the arrival of Meng Chuxuan added another turmoil to their tranquility.

Looking at Meng Chuxuan who looked haggard in front of her, Meng Chuxi didn't know how to speak.After Meng Chuxuan looked at her for a long time, she said in a low voice: "How dare you admit such a fantastic thing, I really want to know, how dare you. Now I know, if I tell grandpa, tell other people, You will never recover."

When she said this, her eyes were gloomy. Zhou Qingwu frowned while listening, feeling extremely uncomfortable, and said, "Miss Meng is here today to scare us?"

The corner of Meng Chuxuan's mouth twitched slightly: "She occupied my sister's body, shouldn't I seek justice?"

Zhou Qingwu couldn't help biting his teeth, and there was a rare coldness on his gentle face in the past: "Miss Meng is joking, we don't understand what you said, occupying your sister's body? You really read too many picture books, strange force The matter of the gods is still set on my cousin. If you come back from the dead, you will come back to life with a dead body, and those who don’t know about it will think you are crazy.”

Meng Chuxuan was taken aback for a moment, then slightly opened her eyes wide and looked at Zhou Qingwu, then looked back at her coldly: "What do you mean?"

"There are currently two young ladies in the Meng family. One is the eldest and the second is living in Qingyang. If you tell others that the second is dead, this Meng Chuxi is reviving her body, but you seem to have forgotten. All of Meng Chuxi's memories are clear to Chuxi, no matter how you confront her, it won't change the fact that she is Meng Chuxi. Even if you tell grandpa, the result will be the same, maybe he will think that you will do anything to kill them all."

Meng Chuxuan was stunned by these words, and then she suddenly stood up and sneered: "I really didn't expect that, you guys are really scheming and cunning!"

Zhou Qingwu looked helpless: "Miss Meng, I can understand your feelings, but Chuxi's original intention was to seek justice for Meng Chuxi. She never thought of hurting anyone from the beginning to the end. I know she is kind, so I support her, but I Never allow anyone to use this to hurt her."

She said this very firmly, and Meng Chuxi was very warm in her heart, and said softly: "Qingwu."

Meng Chuxuan's face was pale and pale, and seeing Meng Chuxi holding Zhou Qingwu's hand, she frowned and gritted her teeth for the last time, "Restrain yourself, can you be affectionate in front of me?"

Hearing her sudden words, Meng Chuxi and the two were a little taken aback.Meng Chuxuan's face softened, with a touch of fatigue: "I just said that, I have been thinking about this these days. I really couldn't accept it at the time, so I lost my composure. I am sorry for you."

She gave a wry smile with tears in her eyes: "You are right, if you don't speak, I will never know the truth in my life. I should thank you and tell me the truth, although it...it is too bloody, too It hurts, but I should know her... She was killed by me and Chu Xu."

Meng Chuxi couldn't bear her like this, she said softly: "Maybe as you said, she might live well in my time and space, and she doesn't want you to be like this, so go on in the future, I believe, she also believes, can you Do the Meng family well."

Meng Chuxuan looked at her, and tears fell: "Although you are not her, you will always be his granddaughter in Grandpa's heart. Although he said that he would expel you from the Meng family, he still misses you. He is old, and I don't want to He got hit like that, so come and see him if you can, okay?"

Meng Chuxi glanced at Zhou Qingwu: "If he wants to see his granddaughter, we'll go back."

Meng Chuxuan held back tears, her voice was slightly hoarse: "You...can you call me sister again?"

Meng Chuxi said softly, "Sister."

Meng Chuxuan replied tremblingly, turned around and waved her hands, tears fell suddenly.This entanglement is finally over, no one is a winner, no one is happy.
