keep this doctor

The vegetation along the way has gradually lost its greenness under the blowing of the autumn wind, slowly turning yellow and becoming brittle. Qingcheng County has distinct seasons throughout the year, and the mountain scenery is still very good.It's a pity that the anxious Shen Ji didn't have the mood to appreciate it, he wished to go back home immediately.

Running and stopping panting, Shen Ji returned to the door of the house, but did not dare to open the courtyard door immediately, but quietly glanced through the crack of the door: Well, the outside of the courtyard still looks fine, could it be that Qi Ye is Throwing a tantrum inside?Throwing tables and smashing chairs...

After entering, Shen Ji closed the courtyard door and announced loudly: "I'm back!"

The voice fell for a long time, and there was no response. Shen Ji suddenly thought nervously and joyfully after being uneasy: Could it be that they have already left?

In order to prove his conjecture, he hurried into the house, and he was disappointed when he arrived at the main hall—Li Yi and Jiang Feng were sitting upright, and there was a lot of food on the table, which seemed to be dug out from the cabinet in the kitchen. .

"Hmph, if you come back a little later, I'm going to tear down your house." Li Yi ate the jerky slowly, looked sideways at Shen Ji and said coolly.Jiang Feng still sat quietly at the side.

"Don't, I'm going to cook right now. I bought vegetables, so I can have a hearty lunch today!" Shen Ji didn't want to tell Li Yi more, so he hurried into the kitchen.

First wash the rice and put it aside, Shen Ji picked up the pig's trotters that he bought, it's a whole, the weight is not light.First carefully scorched the hair on the fire. After washing, cut into suitable pieces for later use. At the same time, prepare ginger slices, star anise, Chinese prickly ash, and braised pig's trotters. These seasonings are enough.

Start a fire, put an appropriate amount of water to boil, first put the pig's trotters in and blanch, pass through the bloody water, and take out the cold water.

Clean the iron pot again, add meat oil and sugar to fry until the sugar color is changed, then put the pig's trotters in and stir fry continuously, after a while, add appropriate amount of rice wine, soy sauce, sliced ​​ginger, star anise, and peppercorns, and stir fry After evenly putting in enough water to submerge the pig's trotters, it is just right to put the crock pot with washed rice on the shelf by the way.

Next, take out a small handful of the sun-dried wild fungus and sprinkle it with water. Shen Ji carefully cut the fat and thin pork into large slices, mixed it with salt, marinated it to taste, turned around and went out to the yard, and pulled out one. Cabbage, a few bright red dried peppers were picked from the wooden shelf by the wall.

Then cleanly remove the outer skin of the cabbage, wash it, cut it into two pieces, cut it into inch-long sections, and then cut it into thick shreds with a width of [-] fen for later use.

At this time, the fungus was ready. Shen Ji put it into clean water and rubbed it vigorously several times, thoroughly washed away the dust and gravel, and squeezed it into a suitable size with his hands.

After preparing the ingredients, Shen Ji lit up the small stove and rinsed the iron pot with water several times. Today, he was going to make braised pork knuckles, fried pork slices with fungus, and hot and sour cabbage. In order not to affect the taste of each other, the pork slices with fungus must be put into the pot first. .

After the iron pan was heated up, Shen Ji poured some peanut oil into it, just to moisten the pan, it doesn't need much, after all, the meat is three parts fat and seven parts thin, and can produce a lot of oil.

When there is a slight white smoke in the pot, you can put the meat slices in. With a pricking sound, the aroma will come out. After a few quick stir-fries, the meat has changed color and cooked. Some soy sauce is dyed and flavored, and the bright color attracts the index finger.At this time, put the drained fungus in, stir-fry and mix well, there will be a little more water for thickening, and it can be out of the pot after simmering for a while.

—— Thickening is troublesome, and it takes a lot of effort to rinse the pot!

Shen Ji put the re-cleaned iron pan on it, and when it was heated up enough, he added enough lard to the pan this time - the meat oil used for vegetarian dishes is the most delicious.

Slowly wait for the lard to melt and when small bubbles appear, you can put the dried chili pieces in, first fry the tempting fragrance, then add a little shredded ginger, put in the cabbage, stir-fry over high heat, add salt and white vinegar , a few stir-fries can be served in the pan, hot and sour and delicious, only the crisp and juicy cabbage can have such a taste.

At this time, he had already missed the meal time, Shen Ji really felt hungry, he quickly served food and filled the meal, and ran out to greet Jiang Feng and Li Yi for lunch.

Li Yi Shi ran over and sat down, looking at the dishes on the table, he was finally not so angry - before he thought that Shen Ji ran away secretly, or brought in rescuers.

As usual, he ordered Shen Ji to move his chopsticks first, but Shen Ji didn't care about that much, he was very hungry now, and all he wanted was to have a good meal.

After watching Shen Ji eat half a bowl of rice, Li Yi and Jiang Feng started to eat.

Shen Ji was the first to be full, and contentedly brewed tea for himself to relieve his boredom, and took a teacup to the yard for a walk to digest.

The Shen family didn't have any land to cultivate, not to mention the lack of manpower, but the terrain in this mountain was undulating, and it was a narrow and long valley, and there was no large piece of land for food cultivation.Only on the gentle slope of the back mountain, the Shen family planted several common medicinal herbs, and in the large yard, these vegetables and fruit trees.

It's autumn now, and the yard is showing a bountiful harvest.

Dozens of thumb-sized, dark purple fruits are hung on the grape shelf in the east corner.It was ready to pick a few days ago, but Shen Ji was anxious at that time, and he couldn't take care of the fruit trees that he usually took care of.

There is a persimmon tree not far from the grape trellis, which existed when the house was built. At that time, the Shen family was not willing to cut it down, but surrounded it by the wall of their own courtyard.This year has been fruitful, but it is still only blue, and it will turn red and soften after the frost.The rest is a jujube tree planted a few years ago in the west corner. The shape of the tree is not big, and the fruit is not very much this year. This is the habit of jujube trees. The number of fruit bearing depends on the year, and the current jujube is still whitish. .

Shen Ji paced slowly in the yard, thinking secretly in his heart: "The herbs in the back mountain have been tidied up, but we can start tidying up in the yard." These are the daily tasks, trivial and complicated.

There are not many vegetables, and Shen Ji doesn't know how to take care of them. Except for the ginger, green onions, leeks and a few bunches of hot peppers, the rest are white radishes, bell peppers, cabbage and eggplants, which are easy to feed. He is alone That's enough.

After Shen Ji digested his food, it looked like it was still early, so he was going to take a nap and pick the grapes in the afternoon.Now he can calmly face the fact that two strangers live in his home, letting them do their own business while he does his own.

He fetched a basin of water to clean his head, face, hands and feet, and when he took off his robe, Shen Ji touched the family letter in his arms, and was shocked, if he accidentally washed it with water, he would really hit himself a few times.

He hurriedly put the letters into a special drawer, which was full of letters from Mu Dong over the years, carefully bound them according to the time, and neatly stacked them in the drawer.When I have nothing to do, I often take it apart and read it again, and the love and admonition that my elder brother has shown me over the past few years have emerged from the paper one by one.

After tidying up, she laid down on the bed with peace of mind, and soon Shen Ji fell asleep in a daze.There was nothing to worry about in my heart, and I was looking forward to the scene of going to Hezhou, and soon fell into a dark dream.

After waking up, he wiped his face and drank a glass of water to wake him up. Shen Ji approached the warehouse, took out a few bamboo sieves and scissors, stepped out of the room and walked to the yard.

There are so many grapes that are about to ripen, and there is not much to eat, Shen Ji decided to make some wine, and then go to Hezhou to bring it to his elder brother to taste, he is sure he will like it.

Shen Ji didn't think much of it, he got into the grape shelf first, and cut off all the bunches of grapes with scissors, after all the visible grapes were cut.Shen Ji began to carefully lift off the lush vines and leaves, and carefully cut off the hidden ones.

After making sure that he had finished cutting all the grapes, Shen Ji laboriously moved the sifted grapes to the stone table, planning to pick out a few bunches for himself to eat.According to the experience of previous years, it is not the grapes with large and dense clusters that taste the best. On the contrary, the grapes with sparse and scattered fruit clusters that can receive sufficient sunlight are the sweetest.

Only two bunches were picked out, and Shen Ji picked one to taste first. The fruit of this kind of grape is not big, and the dark purple skin is very thin.I couldn't help grinning at the entrance: "It's overripe! It's so sweet that it smells like fruit wine. I picked some later this year. It's a pity. Forget it. Whole wine is very suitable."

Jiang Feng came out and saw Shen Ji who was busy all by himself, so he couldn't help but went over to watch it.

"Third brother, do you want to eat grapes? I just cut them, but unfortunately they are a bit overripe. I don't know if you like to eat them." Shen Ji picked out a few and handed them to Jiang Feng with a smile.

"It's not bad, it's quite sweet. Did you grow these?" Jiang Feng took the food and asked, pointing to the fruits and vegetables in the yard.

Shen Ji nodded: "Yes."

Jiang Feng began to feel that although Shen Ji was a bit timid and a bit crying, he still had advantages, such as good cooking skills, such as being very diligent in doing things, and he was the only one who took care of the family so properly. From this we can see He also has some self-control - what a fun guy!

Shen Ji went back to the warehouse and found the narrow-mouthed wide-bellied porcelain vat that was used to make wine in previous years. First, he rinsed it carefully with clean water several times, then dug out the white wine at home to wipe it several times, and finally rinsed the wine with boiling water back and forth. Taste, let it dry and set aside.

Jiang Feng sat on the sidelines and watched, he asked: "Are you preparing to make wine?" For some reason, he always wanted to talk to Shen Ji.

"Yeah, if you can't finish the grapes, the grapes will rot soon, what a pity." Shen Ji is also willing to chat with people who don't hate him while doing things.

Next, he used scissors to cut off the grapes one by one from the fruit pedicle. The skins were not to be touched. If there were any broken skins and rotten ones, he had to remove them. He cut off more than a dozen bunches. Shen Ji's jaws and fingers were sharpened by the scissors. It was red, sore and painful.

Standing up, walking around the yard, shaking his arms, loosening his somewhat stiff shoulders, Shen Ji carefully washed his hands with white wine and water, and then sat back at the stone table again.Just about to crush the grapes one by one and put them into the cleaned porcelain jar, Shen Ji looked up and saw Jiang Feng's curious gaze, so he invited:

"This is quite fun, third brother, take a look!" After speaking, he pointed to water and white wine, signaling the other party to wash their hands.

Jiang Feng made a strange mistake, actually washed his hands, and squeezed grapes together with Shen Ji.Shen Ji lowered his voice and asked him:

"Then who is Qi Ye? He really has a big temper."

"It's not an ordinary person. It's okay to have a temper. In short, don't disobey him, and nothing will happen." Jiang Feng warned him, as for Li Yi's real identity, he must not know it.

Shen Ji said worriedly: "Third brother, you must be scolded and beaten often with him, right?"

Jiang Feng shook his head and laughed, and didn't answer. He thought to himself that being scolded and beaten was not the worst thing; the most terrible thing was that you did something wrong, but your Shangfeng was silent and calm, that's the trouble.

It took the two of them half an hour to crush all the grapes. After thinking about it, Shen Ji mixed half a catty of sugar into it, and didn't dare to put more, because Mu Dong didn't like sweet things.

After carefully sealing the mouth of the porcelain jar, just move it into the warehouse and store it. It will be almost the same after a month.

Shen Ji was really tired today. He made dinner early, cleaned up and washed the dishes after he was full, yawned and climbed into bed after taking a bath, thinking about going to the back mountain tomorrow to clean up the herbs again, saying no When will master Zhao tell himself that someone entrusted his darts to go to Hezhou...

It was late at night after Jiang Feng and Li Yi finished discussing the business. When he returned to the house, he saw that Shen Ji had already sound asleep, and he thoughtfully reserved more than half of the seat for himself—this feeling is very strange, especially like It's a newlywed, her husband comes home from work, and her partner stays in the room obediently and docilely...

——No, this is simply a demonic disease. Shen Jiming is a young man he just met, how could he think of that?

Trying not to think about it, Jiang Feng took off his clothes and lay down next to Shen Ji, hoping that this guy's sleeping appearance would not be so bad tonight.
