The second marriage of the stars

After Arthur's identity was confirmed, the back mountain was completely lifted, and the villagers would row boats across the river and go to the mountain to collect delicacies.This day, Xingzhao's father found something good in the mountains, and immediately picked it up and prepared it for his son.It was a strange dish of food, a little bigger than a quail egg, oval in shape, brownish yellow, and it didn't smell bad.

"Thank you Dad, you still remember my favorite food." Xingzhao took it, chewed it a few times, and then handed it to the mute: "It's a good food with low fat and high protein. Eat it to nourish your body."

This is a worm—the eyebrows are tangled, and I can't eat my chopsticks.

"Silkworm chrysalis, haven't you tried it? This one is fried just right. It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It will burst when you bite into it. If you mix some old vinegar with peppery pepper noodles and eat it, the taste will be more authentic." The mulberry and oak trees had long guessed that there would be wild silkworms, but they hadn't searched carefully before, and they didn't expect to be met by their father.

It’s so disgusting, it will explode, how can you bite it down—with a shy expression, very disgusted—you people eat too much, blistered tempeh, moldy tofu, and strange-tasting Houttuynia cordata, now even The bugs ate them all.

"Where is it disgusting? Isn't the silkworm baby fat and soft not very cute? And the watery soybean meal, stinky tofu, and Zheergen are all delicious. If you don't know food, you know how to eat meat. It's a pity that the price of silkworm chrysalis is too expensive and the quantity is small. , Ordinary people don’t eat it very much.” The mute didn’t move, and Xingzhao thought that children’s eating this would be too nourishing, so it’s not easy for Doudou to try it out, so he solved the remaining ones by himself, a little unsatisfied: “Insects are only visually It is difficult to accept. In fact, the taste and nutritional value are much better than poultry. The most important thing is that they are high-quality protein, so you don’t have to worry about burdening your body. In addition, insects reproduce fast and have a large number. If they are popularized, they can solve many famine areas malnutrition."

So I have no way to refute it, but you actually said that the meat worm is cute, there must be something wrong with your aesthetics-dumb complained and shook his head violently.

"Yes, that's why I fell in love with you." Xing Zou rebelled against the general.

How can you compare me with a worm—a man thinks he is a model husband now, so he is so wronged—I will wash your clothes, cook for you during the day and take care of your children, and give you a massage to relieve stress at night. I don’t know those few months What is Arthur? When you are asleep, you are afraid that he will harm you. I can only stare at that evil spirit day and night without daring to close my eyes.Now that the crisis is over, you have to endure that guy occupying you day and night, and finally wait for him to sleep, and you have to practice again. Finally, after finishing this and that, you are finally free and bored, and I have to play tricks to relieve boredom.Anyway, I am also a handsome guy with a good appearance, and now I do housework like a housewife, and I am still disgusted by this.Too much, woo hoo.

After writing, I even drew a crying face!

"Why are you nagging and complaining like a bitter woman?" Xing Zou couldn't laugh or cry, because of his age difference, he still dotes on the mute very much.And this big guy looks very cute when he is acting like a baby to himself, and he feels pretty good: "Okay, you are much more useful than bugs. I can't do without delicious food, and I can't do without you."

What kind of delicious food is this? Stare at that thing.

"You can't even stand the silkworm chrysalis, and you can eat damselfly and still feel sick enough to vomit to death." Pulling away the clingy dumb, Xing Hao started to clean up the dishes.How could a man let him do these chores, rushed to wash, and wondered what a damselfly was.The name seems to be quite beautiful, and it feels like a little lady, but his intuition tells him that it is definitely not a good thing.

"This damselfly, some places say it is an insect similar to a dragonfly, but here we are referring to the larvae of the bean horn moth, also called bean dan. It is a green, multi-legged, long hairy, A small mollusk that eats soybean leaves." Dumb's complexion got worse and worse, Xing Zou started to tease him, and deliberately compared the size with his hands: "It's about this big, it's heavy in the palm of your hand, and it will roll over. Every year when the beans grow in boiling water, there are a lot of this kind of insects. During the day, children wear gloves to catch them in the field, and when they go home at night, they become the dinner of the day. Then dig out the internal organs, cut the tender meat inside into small cubes, mix it with egg flour and fry it in an oil pan, then add water to cook on low heat, add some tomato and vegetables to taste, it is very fresh. No lamb and fish can compare , that taste is really unforgettable.”

No matter how delicious he said, the dumb man couldn't imagine eating such a big bug, it was terrible.

He shook his head, still unable to accept it, and Xingzhao didn't force it. He just said: "When I was young, my family was very poor. During the Chinese New Year, I could kill a pig, make bacon and hang it under the beam for a whole year. But my family has a large population. Even if we save our food, those sausages and bacon will last more than half a year. For the rest of the day, in order for the children to get enough nutrition, my father will make insect vegetables for us to eat. Bee pupae, damselfly, bamboo worm, cicada monkey, Everything you can get your hands on will become a delicacy on the table. People in the city think it is disgusting, but to the poor, nausea is not as terrible as hunger."

I'm sorry - I didn't consider the other person's growth environment, and the mute was very guilty, thinking of the look in my disgusted eyes just now, it was too naive.

"You don't need to apologize for such a trivial matter, and why are you so careful? I'm not a tyrant who will chop off your head if you're unhappy." Stretching his waist, Xing Hao's childhood memories hidden in the countryside were also awakened: "You may think that kind of life is very bitter, but it's actually interesting to think about it. You haven't eaten elm money, it's just the flowers of the elm tree, bunches of white flowers, hanging down from the branches like butterflies, it's a bit sweet to chew like this , is a rare snack for rural children. Not only can it be eaten directly, but it can also be cooked into rice with whole grains. Yuqian rice has a clear fragrance. Tried it."

Hmph, I have read Liu Shaotang's "Em Money Rice" - the dumb is not to be outdone.

"Anyway, the fish won't starve to death if they don't feed for a day. Let's be lazy today and dig weeds." Xingzhao became interested, and began to miss the warm sunshine, the wind and rain that nourished everything, the wild vegetables on the ridges, and the small grass in his hand. A day when a shovel digs three meals a day.In addition, I wanted to take my son to experience nature, so I immediately changed the itinerary for the day. Of course, the dumb man dared not say a word.But Miaomiao is too young, Xingzhao's mother won't let her out, and Doudou has already started school, so she can't go away.In the end, the husband and wife were happy and relaxed, holding a sickle and carrying a bamboo basket, and ran to the field.

I don't know what to do with wild vegetables - I ran to the field with great interest, but the dumb was worried.

"Let me teach you, look, the slender and long ones are water celery, which is the most delicious to make sauerkraut; and this kind of color is very strange, with a small fist-like sprout on it is bracken, which can be fried with meat; this There is a circle of white fluff on the side and yellow flowers are Qingming grass, which is usually used to make Qingming cakes." Wild vegetables also have seasons, but the land in Taoyuan Township is like spring all year round. As long as the temperature and humidity are suitable, all kinds of plants will grow. Now, there is a thriving scene full of plants in the field tunnels.

Xingzhao originally came to play, but he didn't expect to dig up many medicinal and edible plants besides wild vegetables.Looking at the medicinal ingredients such as bupleurum, dandelion, and fennel in the basket, he feels a sense of accomplishment as a doctor.

There are porcini mushrooms here—the mute suddenly found a great surprise in the broad-leaved forest where the field meets the forest.

"That's blue hands, you will be poisoned if you eat it." Fortunately, I took a second look, otherwise the dumb would put away these poisons as treasures. Although they will not die again with their physique now, no one can guarantee that they will eat them Toxic substances will not cause additional damage to the spirit body: "Jian Shouqing's alias is brown yellow boletus. Although the appearance and name are similar, this stuff contains neurotoxins. The poisoned person will have hallucinations at least, and can be fatal at worst."

So terrible—the mute stood up with lingering fear—but it looks so much like a boletus, so how can you tell them apart?

"This is a very vivid name. You see, if the fungus is broken apart, the tissue inside will change color when exposed to the air. It is usually blue or cyan, so it is called Jianshouqing. Occasionally, red ones will appear. The toxicity is relatively high, there are also purple and black, and it is said that a little bit can poison a cow, but I haven't seen it yet." Although the mute gave up the idea of ​​eating this poisonous fungus, Xing Zou still saw the piece Qingdu picked it up: "Grandpa likes to eat this the most. It's a good food for drinking. If you bring it back to him, he will be very happy."

It's not that it's poisonous and can't be eaten--the mute didn't understand.

"It's poisonous, but using some special cooking methods can reduce the toxicity." As the sky darkened, the two carried a large bag of spoils on their backs and walked back to the village. Arthur, who had been silent for a day, also appeared: " I know how to do it, a lot of oil and a lot of garlic, and fry until cooked enough to decompose the toxic substances in it. But it also depends on the physique of the person who eats it, so don't try it, the black mocking wind is so strong Like a cow, I think he can eat it."

Alien bastard, when are you going to get out——Seeing Arthur, the dumb face immediately fell down, and the disgust was obvious.

"Little bastard, if you treat me so disrespectfully and rudely, I will live on for the rest of my life. Anyway, you have nothing to do with me. Now you are begging me, not I begging you." Arthur was not angry, he said with a smile After finishing the threat, it really made the mute change his face.Fearing that the man would say something that would offend others, Xing Hao hurriedly stood up and changed the subject: "Arthur, do you want to chat with Bai Feng today, or go back to the village to watch everyone play mahjong."

The game of mahjong has won Arthur's heart. He calls it a quiz game on the table. Every day, Xingzhao takes him to watch it for a while, and he is very happy.

But recently, Arthur is obviously tired of these two things. After observing for so long, he has already learned the rules by heart.He intends to play in person to try his luck, and of course his poker buddies have already been made up: "I want to play mahjong with Bai Feng, and bet on the right to use his butt!"
