Rebirth of Boyu

The sun was just right, and Bai Yu didn't get up until after nine o'clock. When he had nothing to do, he sat on a chair and took down the flower pots, pulling the weeds one by one.

Spring is coming to an end, the weather is finally getting warmer, and the weeds in the pots are growing extraordinarily vigorous because of the gradually rising temperature.Dozens of weeds can be found in the middle of each pot of vegetables, and dozens of pots of vegetables plus those vegetable seedlings that were pulled out by Baiyu due to stunting piled up half a barrel high in the trash can.The medium-sized vegetable seedlings have all lost their roots and are neatly stacked on the ground.

The vegetables left in the flowerpots grow sparsely in the flowerpots, and Baiyu leaves some vegetable seedlings to eat when they grow up. When they grow up, they can fry a plate with four or five.

The tomato seedlings planted in the pot next to it also bloomed, and the branches bear green fruits the size of peanuts.Baiyu grows small tomatoes, the kind that are eaten as fruits.

After a month of classes, the school's courses have also slowed down, and one of the four elective courses, Bai Yu, has been taken. It will take two months to wait until the class period is over. By then, it will probably be summer vacation.

In April, a row of winter jasmine flowers planted outside the community bloomed. The petals began to drop within a week after the flowers bloomed, and the whole tree began to grow leaves within three days. The trees are all green.

The saplings planted on the side of the road also sprouted buds, which are as pleasing as the roses of Baiyu's family.However, the saplings on the side of the road were pruned by hard-working sanitation workers before the leaves were fully grown.Without the winter jasmine, the camellias in the yard are blooming vigorously.Looking at the red area from a distance, Baiyu still likes camellias very much. Layers of camellias bloom high on the branches, and the branches are drooping down with numerous flowers.Bai Yu stretched out his hand to touch it, and the petals were as soft as satin.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, the school had a three-day holiday.Bai Yu went directly to the vegetable market from school. A few days ago, three stalls were set up at the entrance of the vegetable market, specializing in making zongzi.

The zongzi here are diamond-shaped, wrapped in zongzi leaves into a size that can be held in one hand, and there are five or six in one bag. The zongzi is made of glutinous rice, jujube, and bacon or egg yolk.Both salty and sweet.I make zongzi at home, and some people like to mix red beans, mung beans and other beans in it. Grandma used to add red beans to it.Freshly made zongzi in the vegetable market are much fresher and cheaper than those bought in the supermarket freezer.

Bai Yu stood outside and took a look, and found that the zongzi were almost the same.There is a shop whose zong leaves are obviously fresher, and there are the most people in the back row of that stall.Baiyu likes to eat salty food, that is, cut small pieces of bacon and put them under the rolled zong leaves, fill them with soaked glutinous rice and compact them tightly, then wrap them with twine or wrap them with torn zong leaves .After the zongzi is ready, put it in cold water and cook it until it is ready to eat.

All the rice dumplings bought in the market were raw. Bai Yu lined up and bought two catties of bacon and one catty of red dates. He took three strings of rice dumplings and returned home. Bo Yu boiled them in cold water and stuffed them in the pot. Fish one out, remove the thread and peel off the zong leaves, and you can eat it.

Peel off the zongzi leaves, and inside the cooked zongzi is a ball of golden yellow glutinous rice, the transparent rice grains stick together, and there is sticky glutinous rice on the zongzi leaves.Peeling half of it and biting a brown horn, Bai Yu ate the meat first. The fragrant glutinous rice has the unique salty taste of bacon, the slogan is dense and elastic, and the aroma of bacon is overflowing.

Bai Yu solved a meat dumpling and picked up one wrapped with red thread. It was a dumpling filled with jujubes. When he peeled off the jujube dumpling, he saw that the corner where the dates were placed was stained with a slight khaki color. They are all the color of beige glutinous rice and zong leaves.I ate one, and sure enough, except for the corner where the jujube is placed, the other places are tasteless, and I still like to eat meat.

Eating zongzi with grandma, looking at Su Shaofan who was taking out the stitches, Bai Yu suddenly remembered that he still owes the person in front of him money.After the new year, I still haven't paid it off.Angrily took a bite of the zongzi, Bai Yu was stunned for a moment, it's been a year!It has been more than a year since I was born again.Thinking that Bai Yu had finished eating the zongzi in his mouth, he clapped his hands.It happened to be the Dragon Boat Festival, and in order to celebrate, Bo Yu decided to cook something delicious at night.

Opened the cabinet and grabbed two handfuls of dried plums brought from my hometown, soaked them in hot water, took the money and went downstairs, went to the vegetable market to buy two catties of pork belly, a grass carp, two pig's trotters and special seasoning broad bean.

When I got home, I cut the leftover carrots and cucumbers into thin shreds, added minced garlic and salt, put them aside and made a salad.

Take out the vegetable jar from under the cupboard, and take out two salted duck eggs from it and cook them in cold water.The salted duck eggs were soaked by grandma when she was in her hometown. The duck eggs are free-range ducks, and the ducks that have been raised for two or three years lay eggs in haystacks.After picking up a dozen or twenty duck eggs, you can make salted duck eggs.

The best way to make salted duck eggs is to use the snow shaken from the trees for four or nine days or the snow taken from the snow layer on the mountain and put it in the basin to make snow water. If there is no snow water, use the mountain spring water flowing down from the mountain. It can be used after it is boiled and let it cool down.These two kinds of water are used for cleanliness, and soaking duck eggs will not spoil them.

The snow in the city cannot be turned into water. If you want to soak salted duck eggs, it is better to boil tap water to soak them.

Wait for the snow stored in the back of the yard to melt into water, put the snow water in a jar, and put duck eggs washed with snow water in it. Once the duck eggs are put in, they will sink to the bottom of the water. Sprinkle a bag of salt on them. Floating from the bottom to the top, after a month and then opening the jar, you can see the duck eggs floating on the water.

The snow sprinkled with salt was so icy that Bai Yu didn't dare to hold it with his hands, so he scooped up two with a dry spoon.

Wash the bought pork belly, put it in a pot with cold water, rinse it and drain it after removing the foam, and put the remaining hot water directly into the chopped pig's trotters in the vegetable market to cook.After the meat is marinated with dark soy honey, put oil in the cold pan, put three or four pieces of rock sugar in the oil, and fry the sugar color.After the rock sugar melts, put the marinated meat in, and fry the meat until it is golden on all sides.When frying the meat, Bai Yu accidentally splashed oil on his arm, causing a blister. After rinsing it with cold water, he applied soap and turned off the fire, scooped up the meat, sliced ​​it into a bowl, and used the remaining oil waste to fry the trotters.

Finely chop the onion, ginger, garlic, and chili until fragrant. Fry the washed and wrung dried plum vegetables on medium heat. The washed dried plum vegetables are not so salty. You can put a small spoonful of salt in the vegetables when frying.

Spread the fried plum dried vegetables on the meat, cover with a bowl and put it in a pot for steaming.Put the fried pig's trotters in a pressure cooker, add soy sauce, onion, garlic, pepper, star anise pepper, cinnamon leaf and tangerine peel and marinate over low heat.

At this time, Bai Yu cleaned the fish and smeared the whole body with salt and cooking wine, shredded the onion, spread the marinated fish on the grill pan and put it on top.Sprinkle minced ginger, chili powder and oil and put some lotus root slices on top. There are no lotus root slices at home. Bai Yu peeled a potato and cut it into slices and put it on top. Put the baking tray in the oven and bake it at 210 degrees for half an hour. At this time, put it in the pot The aroma of steamed plum vegetables and pork meat wafted out of the steamer. Seeing Su Shaofan watching TV in the living room, Bai Yu took Su Shaofan to peel the broad beans. After waiting for half an hour, Bai Yu took the bowl out of the pot, Drain the soup inside, remove the top bowl and put the vegetables on the plate, pour the previously drained soup over the meat.

The trotters continued to simmer in the pot.

Bai Yu took the shredded cucumber, added two tablespoons of vinegar and a little sesame oil, stirred it evenly, took the basin and brought it directly to the table.Shred the tofu, add salt, make a clear soup, sprinkle some chopped green onion, then cook the salted duck eggs directly, and put the two halves on the table without putting them on a plate. One person can take half and eat directly.

Before the broad beans were peeled, Bai Yu turned on the oven and poured some soup made with dark chili sauce on the grilled fish, then put the grill pan on the table and ate it directly.Four dishes and one soup were placed on the table. After eating, Bai Yu took a rotten pig's trotter from the pot, blew on the heat, put it in a bowl, and gnawed it. The pig's trotter just out of the pot was stewed. The bones are crispy, and the bones fall off with a light touch, and the meat is soft and rotten, and it melts in the mouth.After eating one, Bai Yu pouted his mouth, the gravy stuck to the corner of his mouth and solidified, and Bai Yu licked it, it tasted good.After washing his face, Bai Yu picked out a pig's trotter and served it to grandma while it was still hot. When the trotter was cold, it was too buckled and grandma couldn't eat it anymore.I served one for Su Shaofan, and saved the rest for tomorrow.

After washing the dishes, feeling that it was too hot to eat, Bai Yu took off his coat and sat on the balcony peeling broad beans in a single piece.

After peeling a pot of broad beans, Bai Yu sneezed as if he had caught a cold. '

Feeling that she was in good health, after practicing calligraphy, Bai Yu took a hot bath and went to bed.

When he woke up in the morning, Bai Yu felt his nose was blocked, and he felt better when he brushed his teeth.Putting on his coat, having breakfast, lying on the rocking chair with Xiaomi in his arms, basking in the sun, feeling a little dizzy, Bai Yu went to the kitchen and poured a large glass of water, sucking his nose.

Grandma Liu came back at noon to see Bai Yu looking at herself with a red nose, "Have you caught a cold?" She then reached out to touch Bai Yu's forehead, "I don't have a fever, just use mugwort leaves to boil some water and take a bath at night."

Bai Yu was stunned.He has not been sick for many years.

After eating, I took out the rolled dried mugwort leaves from the cabinet and boiled them in a pot. The mugwort leaves were dry, like a bunch of withered grass. When the water boiled, the whole room smelled of mugwort.

Fill the bathtub with hot water, and pour the boiled mugwort leaves together with the soup. The whole bathroom is covered with steam, and it is white.Bai Yu lay in the water and did not dare to move. Whenever he moved, he felt something pricking his skin.

The water is too hot.

The whole body of the soaked Baiyu was red. I don’t know whether it was sweat or boiled water flowing from the nose into the water. I turned on the hot water and soaked the Baiyu for 10 minutes. I couldn’t soak it anymore. I got up and put on my clothes and got under the quilt inside.Xiaomi meowed beside her.After a while, the whole body was soaked.Feeling the heat all over his body, Bai Yu couldn't hear Xiaomi's voice, his head was groggy, and he fell asleep with his eyes closed.
