little husband

In the early morning, the mist in the mountains has not dissipated, and the mist surrounds the mountain peaks, and the mountains and forests are half covered by the curling mist, which is like a fairyland.Song Shi took a deep breath, and the fresh air with strong water vapor immediately filled his whole body, and the content of spiritual energy in the environment that had not suffered much man-made damage was also extremely high, and his body became lighter.

Yesterday, I took some vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs, fish and shrimp from the supermarket and my uncle's house, enough for them to use for a few days.Cut half a pumpkin, took out a bag of millet, took out a big belly casserole from the cupboard and washed it clean, he was going to make pumpkin and millet porridge, the pumpkin is sweet and the millet nourishes the stomach, suitable for people with hangovers Yin Ming'an likes it.Of course a single porridge is not enough, and when the porridge was cooked on a low fire, he started to cook the side dishes of the porridge.As I said yesterday, my aunt's pickled melons in noodle sauce are delicious, sweet, crispy, and fragrant, and you can eat two more bowls with porridge.Stir-fried fresh local edamame with pickled melon is definitely an indispensable side dish on the dinner table.

In Song Dynasty, I don’t know if there is such a thing as Baogua in other places, and I don’t know what other people call it. They locally call this kind of melon with milky white skin and similar to old cucumbers as Baogua or sweet Baogua.Bao melon has thick meat and thin skin, rich water and light taste, and the meat is tight and tender. It is the best choice for making pickles. Every family in Songjia Village will prepare a portion that is enough for a year. If relatives from other places come, they will bring some back. , so the pickled melon is also one of the local specialties.There is a large pickle factory in Xinnan City, and there are jar-packed and canned pickled melons in it. When I was in college, Song Shi took some to school and gave them to my classmates. The classmates said it was good. But he always felt that it was not as delicious as homemade.

The sauced melon is very simple to make. The fresh melons are pierced with a few holes, and then put on the large grains of local sea salt and neatly stacked in the tank, pressed with bluestone, pressed for about two days, and drained of the water inside. , and you can proceed to the next step.The sweet sauce made from pure flour is used to make pickled melons. The taste is thick and sticky. The sweetness from natural fermentation has a sauce aroma. It can be used not only for making stuffed melons, but also for other melons and fruits.The particular method is to put crushed ingredients such as peanuts, almonds, and sesame seeds in the sweet noodle sauce, stir them evenly and fill them into the marinated and drained melons, then tie the filled melons with cotton thread and put them in the tank to naturally Just ferment.It doesn't need to be so troublesome or delicate to make at home. You just need to carefully spread the sweet bean sauce on the melon, and then put the melon in the tank.

The former has the delicious taste of the former, and the latter has the taste of the latter. In Song Shi's mind, the latter method is more delicious, and the simple taste is often the taste of home.

Sauce-wrapped melon is sweet but not greasy, crisp, tender and refreshing. It used to be a tribute. It is something that the emperor has eaten. Isn't it delicious?Song Shi brought back a small jar from his aunt yesterday, took out a strip of melon wrapped in sauce, wiped off the excess sweet noodle sauce on it, and in the morning light, the translucent body of the melon was crystal clear and clear. I can tell the tender meat inside is just opened, and the melon seeds inside are also stained with soy sauce, and a strong sweet taste fills the tip of my nose. Song Shi couldn't help but cut a small piece and tasted it. It's okay to eat without processing Delicious, with melon fragrance in sweetness, moderate saltiness and sweetness, my aunt's craftsmanship has improved again.

Stir-fried edamame with melon in soy sauce is a simple home-cooked dish, but when all the ingredients are fresh and authentic, the home-cooked dish becomes extraordinary.My uncle's family has planted late edamame for a season this year, and now there are still some left in the field for them.Pulled out a few trees and went home, squatted at the door of the kitchen and opened the pods. The beans inside didn’t look very green, but they were white and yellow. Did they grow in the field for a long time?Or is that the breed?

Pinch open a bean and smell it, the smell of the bean is not very strong, the advantage is that the bean is freshly picked from the field, and it is still very tender.

Song Shi used this edamame to stir-fry chopped melon in sauce. Unexpectedly, the stir-fried beans became tender and green, and the bean coat on top was wrapped with beans, which brought out a bit of a creamy feeling. It was really delicious. ah.

In addition to stir-fried edamame with melon in soy sauce, there are also dried radishes fried with spicy peppers, potherb mustard that is fried with minced meat, fried mustard shreds with shredded lean meat, and a white radish freshly pulled from the field. Cut into shreds for cold dressing, and looking at the side dishes on the table, Song Shi felt that the big pot of porridge was missing.My aunt also planted some vegetables in the private plot in the yard, and they ate them casually when they came back. The white radish was freshly pulled from the yard, unlike the edamame that was pulled out from the field next to the yard after leaving the house. Rural people always Making full use of the land, three rows of soybeans were planted outside their yard, and now there are only a few left.Looking at the white radish again, the juicy white radish after washing reminded Song Shi of the very hot movie this summer, where all the monsters looked like the radish, especially the one who followed the protagonist.

Grate fresh radish into shreds, mix it with fine salt and spit it out twice. After filtering out the excess water, if you feel salty, rinse it in the water for a while. If you don’t feel salty, pour sesame oil, pepper, etc. Sprinkle a little white sesame seeds after the plate. The sesame seeds are bought ready-made in the supermarket. It is more fragrant if the white sesame seeds grown at home are copied.

The side dishes were ready, the porridge was cooked in the casserole, Song Shi thought about it, took the money and went down the mountain.

The roads in the village are all bluestone roads paved with bluestone slabs. The bluestone has been worn down for a long time, and tenacious grass grows in the gaps.There are drains on both sides of the path, because of the humidity, a lot of moss has grown, and even the two ends of the bluestone road have grown a little, and in addition to the heavy humidity in the morning, you should be careful when walking.

Most of the villagers get up early, and some are rushing to work or school. From time to time, they can see some people. Everyone knows that Song Shi is back, so they are not surprised to see Song Shi, and greet him one after another. Song Shi is in the village. The popularity is still very good.Even if they have been in prison, everyone doesn't think much of it. They are all members of their own family. As long as they don't commit crimes, murder and set fire, others can be treated as appropriate. Everyone saw what happened in the Song Dynasty. They are all ordinary people. We can't help you with the things you encounter when you encounter them. It's a pity that the good young man has been squatting in there for five years, and even missed the university.

One's own family should love each other. Songjia Village has a strong sense of clan, xenophobia, unity, and protection of weaknesses. The older people regard the face of Song Village and the Song family higher than the sky.In the past, Songjia Village had the only private school in ten miles and eight townships. The villagers were all literate, so they still had the nobility and reservedness of a literati, and they were not real ordinary farmers.

Now the private school is closed, the school is in the town, there is a school bus to pick it up, just stand at the entrance of the village and wait, it is happier than Song Shi at that time, you must know that he went there by bicycle at that time, he was small at the beginning Adults don’t trust them to ride bicycles. Dozens of children in the nearby villages all walk to school and home. Later, when Song Shi grew up and knew how to ride a bicycle, he took his younger sister to and from school.Although life at that time was difficult, but thinking about it now, I am still very happy. It was simple and simple. The biggest worry every day was what to eat for lunch (dinner).Later, my grandfather was transferred to Xinnan City as a teacher, and my grandmother also became the principal of the kindergarten. Song Shi and his younger sister both went to school in the city, and life suddenly became different, and there was less riding with friends on country roads. happy.

…………

Regardless of the small size of Song Village, the population is small, although the sparrows are small and complete, there are also small supermarkets, breakfast shops, grain and oil shops, and all the shops are arranged at the foot of the mountain, all of which are opened by the villagers in their own houses, facing the street The place opened its doors to do business, and the patrons are all from the village or nearby villagers.

The Songcun breakfast restaurant has a very good sound. Many people who don’t want to eat at home come here to order a few steamed buns, sesame seed cakes, siu mai, etc., and eat with porridge, soy milk or tofu brain.What Song Shi misses the most is the sesame seed cakes made by their family. The fragrance can't be found in other places.

There are two types of sesame seed cakes, salty and sweet. The salty ones are filled with chopped green onions, and the sweet ones are made of dough wrapped in butter and nuts. Both types are sprinkled with a lot of white sesame seeds, baked in the stove, and burnt on the outside. , The inside is soft, and eight of the ten people who went in for breakfast held sesame seed cakes in their hands, so you know how delicious the food is. After all, the eyes of the masses are discerning, especially when it comes to eating.

"Boss, give me five sweet ones, five salty ones, and a pot of tofu to fill this pot. And a bucket of soy milk, no need to add sugar." Forgot to mention, the tofu shop is next to the breakfast shop, a family Opened by two brothers, the elder brother makes tofu, and the younger brother buys breakfast. The soy milk and tofu nao in the breakfast shop are freshly made tender tofu from the tofu shop next door. .

"I knew you were back yesterday, and I knew you would come to buy breakfast today, and I'll give you an extra piece of tofu to fill up this basin. Is it easy to take it? If it's not easy, I'll ask my kid to deliver it for you." Middle-aged The boss took the insulation barrel and stainless steel basin handed over by Song Shi, turned around and went in, and came out after a while. The stainless steel basin was filled with soft tofu cut into squares. The authentic water-milled tofu is extremely smooth and tender. The barrel is filled with soy milk, and the bean aroma can be smelled through the lid == it can still be smelled like this, the quality is really not good, so I changed it when I went back!The store also prepared a basket for Song Shi to put sesame seed cakes in. The oval ones inside are salty, and the round ones are sweet, which are easy to separate.

"Thank you, I miss your sesame seed cakes and tofu when I'm outside. I don't have this taste in other places. I'm so hungry."

"Everything outside is full of goods. I read the news. It's either waste oil or additives. Every time my daughter comes back, she says that her breakfast smells like plastic bags. Didn't the news say that people eat too much plastic?" Plasticizers. Alas, there is no way, young people rush to work in the morning and can only pack their breakfast in plastic bags, eat either egg pancakes or pancakes, and eat two buns for fear that the fillings inside will not be clean.”

"There is no better place in the city than in the village. Everything you eat is fresh and clean. The oil is made from the rapeseed grown in our own land, the rice is grown by ourselves, and the beans are also grown in our own house. Don't worry about it. God knows the raw materials outside. What is it. This is the bad thing in the city, but there is nothing you can do about it.”

"Yeah, what can I do? The young people who stay in the village are not developing. Don't talk about it, don't talk about it, your aunt is urging you to make biscuits."

"Uncle, I'm leaving. I can take things. I don't need my younger brother to help me deliver them. I still have to go to school."

"Okay, if you can't tell me."

The village doesn't like to use plastic bags. When villagers come to buy breakfast, they always bring their own bowls and basins and take them home to eat.Song Shi forgot to bring a basket. Besides, the basket at home is useless after a long time. It smells bad. It must be washed well before it can be used. Fortunately, the store has prepared one for the next time you come or come down. Just come back when it's time.

Song Shi bought a bunch of things and knocked on them when he passed by his uncle's house. He divided half of them and went out, and harvested more and stuffed them into baskets.My aunt made noodles last night, and got up early this morning to make steamed buns, big meat buns, shepherd’s purse stuffed buns, potherb mustard meat stuffed buns, shiitake mushrooms and vegetables stuffed buns, and shrimp siu mai made of fresh sea prawns.Originally, the basket brought by the breakfast shop was very big. It was filled with a few sesame seed cakes and dangled violently on the arms. Now it is full of buns, and the buns are filled with shumai. Pay special attention to the movement of the basket, for fear that if you don't pay attention, the siu mai on top will roll down.

When Song Shi came back, the porridge in the casserole was ready, and the three people who had fallen asleep in the room also woke up from the scent, and they were washing. Yin Mingan had already washed, and was standing at the wide open door waiting for Song Shi to come back .Seeing the big pots, vats, and big baskets in the Song Dynasty approaching, I quickly went up to take the tofu pot. The tofu was trembling, as if it was about to fall.

The rich breakfast made the whole family happy, and Chen Fan murmured, "I have eaten too much breakfast, and I can't even eat lunch."

"I don't see how much you eat less!" Song Shi teased.

"It's so delicious, I can't bear it. If I go back and I can't eat it, I will miss it very much."

"Yeah, every time my brother and I go back to eat the sesame seed cakes at the breakfast shop at the entrance of the village, we also buy a lot of tofu to eat, cold tofu and mapo tofu, no matter how they are made, they are delicious. Dried tofu, as well as dried tea smoked with tea leaves, are also delicious, especially the stewed ones made by my brother, which make people want to swallow their tongues."

"Stop talking, it makes me hungry again."

Song Xiao patted Chen Fan's stomach, "Didn't you say there is no space?"

"For the sake of food, we can squeeze out a little space."

"It's delicious. It's been a long time since I've had such a delicious soy milk." Yin Ming'an also thought it was delicious, and it was really delicious. He has traveled all over the world and visited many provinces across the country. However, there are not many that can make him nod. Of course, good raw materials are one aspect, and what is more important is that Song Shi has dealt with them. The combination of the two is indispensable.

"If you like it, we can take some more back home."

"How do you bring it?" Song Xiao ate slowly, and is still eating now. Spread the tofu with fresh soy sauce on the salty sesame seed cake, and eat it in one bite, not to mention how delicious it is.

"The mountain man has his own plan."

Yin Ming'an smiled knowingly. Ever since he knew Song Shi was different, he knew that there was nothing Song Shi couldn't do. It could be regarded as blind trust!

…………

After breakfast and an hour's rest, Song Shi took a few people up the mountain. The children who grew up in the city have never seen the wild and interesting Sanlin, nor have they hunted wild animals or picked fruits in the mountains. This time, my curiosity was satisfied.

There are many things in the mountains, and if you think about it, you can find something to eat. Song Shi beat a pheasant and a hare with stones. Flying out, the hare over there fell down in response, and it wasn't dead yet, it just passed out.

"Wow, my friend for so many years, I didn't know you have such a skill!"

"You don't know too much." Song Shi walked over and grabbed the hare's ears and lifted it up. He tied the hare with a straw and threw it into the basket behind him. Autumn is the harvest season, and even the hare grows as big as it is. Fat is ready for winter.

One is enough, just a taste of wild game.

After a while, I came to a bamboo forest. The bamboo was green and straight, and the wind blew by, and the bamboo leaves made a rustling sound.Song Shi had quick eyes and quick hands, and another bamboo rat was about to become their meal.

"It's such a big mouse. I've only seen it on TV. I didn't expect the real thing to look like this." Chen Fan is a bumpkin from the city who goes to the mountains and is curious about everything he sees.

Yin Ming'an was much calmer than him. With Song Shi protecting him, he even hit a rabbit, but he missed and let the rabbit run away.

"A hundred meters or so further on, there is a small forest of wild chestnuts. The wild chestnuts are not big, but they taste good, and they are delicious when cooked with chestnut rice." Song Shi said while holding Yin Mingan's hand.

"There are a lot of things in the mountains. If they are developed, they will be of great economic value." Yin Ming'an started from the perspective of a businessman.

Song Shi shook his head, "Once you get involved with money, you will take unrestrained demands from the mountains and forests, which is not conducive to the ecological balance. People in Song Village have known for generations that you can't be greedy, and you can't exhaust the water, so no one will develop her for wealth. .”

"Well, the concept of Song Village is very good, like the guardian of the mountain."

"Originally." Song Shi understood yesterday that the ancestors of the Song family were descendants of mountain spirits. No wonder the Song family's family rules had so many rules, and they really regarded themselves as the guardians of the mountains and forests.

The chestnut forest will arrive soon, and autumn is a good season to eat chestnuts. After taking advantage of his sister and Chen Fan running happily, Song Shi was eager to shake down three or four trees with mature chestnuts, and the ground was covered with .

"Brother, we can't finish eating so much." Song Xiao and Chen Fan heard the movement and walked over. Seeing the chestnuts all over the ground, they thought Song Shi had shot them down.

Song Shi sneered awkwardly, "I couldn't hold it for a while." He didn't control his strength well, and he used too much. He originally planned to shake off the chestnuts on a tree.

Yin Ming'an suppressed a smile and said, "Pick them all up, and it happens to be shared with other people."

"How to bring it back?" Only Chen Fan was worried about how to bring back so many chestnuts. He and Song Shi each carried a big basket, Song Xiao carried a basket, Yin Mingan didn't take any utensils, and he didn't. I don't think Yin Ming'an, a big man, is more delicate than a girl. Song Shishi protects him all the time, and he doesn't dare to work hard, because since he knew the relationship between Song Shi and Yin Ming'an, the two of them get along like this, and he is used to it. .Habits are terrible ╮(╯-╰)╭

"Use twigs and grass stems to make a raft, and we'll drag it back." Song Shi unloaded his backpack and started to work. Who made him excited for a while, otherwise he wouldn't be like this now. Alas, men like to be in love Full of showmanship.

The raft dragged so many chestnuts back to the village, and put three live animals, some fungi, and other wild fruits and vegetables in the back basket, and they were fruitful!

Clean fresh chestnuts and eat them steamed or fried. Stir-fried chicken with chestnuts, hair cakes with chestnuts, etc. are all excellent. There is also chestnut rice made in the Song Dynasty. The chestnuts are soft and glutinous. become even tastier.

For lunch, I ate all kinds of chestnut products. For dinner, I invited my uncle’s family over for dinner. The lobby brother also brought over sea rainbows, clams, flower clams, sea vegetables, etc. Mountain delicacies and seafood are delicious.

"When are you going back?" I didn't drink today, I just ate fresh fruit juice, the lobby brother put down the juice glass and smelled Song Shi.

Song Shi was peeling prawns for Yin Ming'an, but Yin Ming'an went in to pour water, drinking fruit juice would be better than plain water. "Why, drive us away."

The hall brother rolled his eyes at him, "Go, go, don't come back." Seeing that Song Shi was still peeling shrimps, enjoying it, the hall brother put away the joke on his face, "You really spent your whole life with that person?"

"Yin Ming'an, his name is Yin Ming'an, not that person." Song Shi corrected, "Of course, for a lifetime, until death."

"Brother, you have always been right-minded. It is difficult to change things that have been decided. I won't say anything. As long as you live a happy life, it's fine. If you really can't, don't forget that there are us behind you, not alone. "The big hall brother knew that Yin Mingan was definitely not an ordinary person when he looked at Yin Ming'an's overall demeanor. Such a person is too good. Once he loses Song Shi, where will Song Shi go to complain.

"Brother, don't worry, it won't happen." Song Shi said solemnly, "You have to trust us, we will have children in the future, and we will be together for the rest of our lives."

"Okay." The big brother nodded, "Don't be like me, give each other more trust and care for each other. Marriage is managed by both parties, not just accommodating." The big brother said it from the bottom of his heart. Divorced for various reasons, the one who hurt the most is actually the child. The big brother goes to see the child and his wife every month. Maybe it is because they are far away. To remarry.

"Are you going to see your sister-in-law again?"

"Well, maybe the whole family will come back this time. Your sister-in-law has contacted the third primary school and wants to be a teacher there." The sister-in-law is a Chinese teacher, and now works as a teacher in Gucheng Primary School. The teacher is completely incomparable. The cousin gave up the preferential treatment in the old city for the eldest brother and came back. It seems that the good things between the two are really close.It's better to get a wife, no matter how good the later one is, the first one will leave a deep-rooted impression in my heart.

When Yin Ming'an came out, he found that Song Shi's eyes were shining when he looked at him, and his strong emotions were about to burst out, which made him feel embarrassed and strange. The whole family was there, and the elders were also there. It's really like this Embarrassing.At night, when the love is deep, Song Shi whispers in Yin Ming'an's ear, "A married wife will never lose each other, and Yin Ming'an is even more affectionate!"
