In the imperial capital, a big house, Mr. Hua Yi didn't pay much attention to his letter at first. When he opened it, his hand trembled slightly, obviously shocked.
"Lao Liu, it seems that he has to go there again." Your son muttered to himself, but he was very interested in the stewed meat mentioned in the letter.
The next day, on the official road far away from the imperial capital, there was an extra man in Chinese clothes traveling light, while Luo Qiuyun, who was in a remote town, did not know that he had been noticed by the people above, and was still busy working for stewed meat every day.
One day, after seeing off the carriage from hongfulou, Luo Qiuyun gives Luo Tianxiang to Chen Jingzhao and goes up the mountain with a basket on his back.
In order to avoid the sight of the villagers, Luo Qiuyun chose a remote path behind the house and came to a bamboo forest not far away.
Yes, her purpose today is for the bamboo shoots that have just grown here. It seems that people in this era don't know that bamboo shoots can be eaten. No one pays attention to a large bamboo forest, but now it's cheaper for Luo Qiuyun.
The knee high bamboo shoots need not be dug with a hoe, but can be broken with a gentle hand. Remove the shell by the way, and then put it in a basket. After being boiled with water, they can be eaten overnight.
If you don't cook it before you break it back and then float it in cold water, the bamboo shoots will affect its original taste and become bitter and astringent.
Luo Qiuyun moves very fast and soon gets a lot back. In addition, there are bamboo forests all around. It only takes an hour to get enough to take back.
When she came back to her home, Chen Jing was very curious? No one has ever eaten this
"I know. You don't know you can eat it. I'll show you later. I'm sure you'll be full of praise when you eat it tomorrow." Luo Qiuyun said that she had carried all the bamboo shoots to the kitchen, put them into a big pot and prepared to cook them.
"Mother, there's something delicious." Luo Tianxiang is very happy, because Luo Qiuyun mentioned to him in advance that she went to the mountain to find something good for him today. Now when she saw Luo Qiuyun coming back with some bamboo shoots on her back, she knew that the good thing she said was the bamboo shoots in her hand.
Although he didn't know how to eat it or how it tasted, Luo Tianxiang, like Luo Tianli, had almost worshipped Luo Qiuyun blindly since he stayed in the cave for half a month!
"I can't eat it yet. My mother will cook it for you tomorrow. The kitchen is dirty. Tianxiang is good. How about going out with sister Jing?"
"Mother, I miss you!" Luo Tianxiang looks pitiful and looks at Luo Qiuyun wrongly.
"OK, OK, OK, will you sit here and watch your mother work?" Luo Qiuyun knows that she is too busy with stewed meat recently. She has neglected to take care of Luo Tianxiang. Now she is complained by the other party. Naturally, she will surrender as soon as possible!
"Well, mother, I'll sit down." Luo Tianxiang is very clever.
Next, as he said, Luo Qiuyun is busy in front of the kitchen, while Luo Tianxiang has been sitting quietly on the small bench, quiet and sensible!
"Miss, why don't you take brother Xiang out to play? I'll do the work of cooking bamboo shoots and tell me how to operate it." Chen Jing suddenly said, it seems that I can't see the big one and the small one tossing around in the kitchen.
"You?" She looked up and said, "is that ok? It's physical work
Chen Jing understood Luo Qiuyun's meaning and replied, "Miss, I'm not a girl from a rich family. I didn't do such a hard job before. I'm here to save myself..."
"Well, just watch the fire. When the water boils, you can take out the bamboo shoots and soak them in cold water. When you get up tomorrow morning, you can eat them in cold water again." Luo Qiuyun listens to her explanation and tells her the precautions again. Then she agrees with Chen Jing's request.
"Ah." Chen Jing gets a response and quickly returns. She goes to Luo Qiuyun and takes over the work in her hand.
Luo Qiuyun got empty, he picked up Luo Tianxiang, and then went out of the kitchen, the little guy laughed more happily, mouth sweet constantly called "mother" two words.
"Where does Tianxiang want to play? My mother will take you now. " Luo Qiuyun is obviously also infected by this joyful atmosphere. He is very happy. He blurts out his words.
Knowing that the little guy won't ask too much, Luo Qiuyun is happy to make him happy.
"Mother, my little uncle is going to school. Shall we go to the village to meet him?" Luo Tianxiang has been playing with Luo Tianli a lot recently. Although Luo Tianli occasionally envies him for robbing his sister's favor, he is still very good for cute little guy. No wonder Luo Tianxiang will miss him.
Since that great change, Luo Tianxiang obviously has a strong sense of rejection towards strangers, which is shown as follows: at the beginning, only Luo Qiuyun and Luo Tianli were allowed to hold him, and when Luo Qiuyun was free, it was difficult for Luo Tianli to hold him.
Although things are getting better now, it's very difficult for strangers to get in touch with him. I don't see Chen Jing's efforts. Shen San, who has lived in Luo's house for many days, is the one Luo Tianli doesn't want to play with!"Well, we'll pick up your uncle." Luo Qiuyun touches each other's hair, then holds Luo Tianxiang in one hand and goes out of the house to the road.
In fact, Luo Qiuyun is more willing to take Luo Tianli to the village for a visit, and let Luo Tianxiang know some friends by the way. Unfortunately, she played this set not long ago, but it's useless. Now she's too lazy to bother.
It's rare for Luo Tianli to come back soon!
Sure enough, they didn't go far, then they saw Luo Tianli's figure gradually appear in front of them, and there was a very coquettish young man in Chinese clothes beside him, needless to say, Shen San.
"Mother, uncle, I see uncle." Luo Tianxiang unexpectedly exclaimed excitedly.
Shen Qiuyun doesn't need to take a closer look at the two people's walking posture, but Luo Xiaoying doesn't know that they're in the same position in the distance.
"What's the matter?" Luo Qiuyun suppresses the doubt in the heart, waiting for two people to walk in and ask again.
"Sister, Tianxiang, how did you come out?" Luo Tianli's eyes are sharp. Seeing Luo Qiuyun from a distance, he immediately calls a sentence, and then drags Shen sanshao, who looks like a disabled person, to speed up his running.
"Oh, oh, slow down, brother Luo..." Shen San wails bitterly. It seems that he is really hurt. Before Luo Qiuyun opens his mouth, Luo Tianli takes the lead to find out the truth.
"Who let you be greedy and make mistakes? Now it's OK. If you make yourself a disabled person, what else do you pretend to be? You deserve to die of pain."
Luo Tianli said, and told Luo Qiuyun what happened. It turned out that this guy was skipping class and ran to Hongfu building to grab food. He couldn't squeeze in. He slipped on the stairs and twisted his feet. He was greedy for Luo's food. He wanted to come back with Luo Tianli, so there was just that scene.
Looking at Shen sanshao's twisted face, Luo Qiuyun could not help feeling angry and funny. He said in secret: "this guy is really a big eater!" However, no matter how it's not, people's doors are full of guests. As the host, Luo Qiuyun is not good at acting too much, so as not to make Shen San feel that everyone is gloating at him.
"Tianli, since Mr. Shen is injured, you should take care of him and help him go home together." Luo Qiuyun said later.
Smell speech, Luo Tianli even if in the heart is not willing, also dare not disobey Luo Qiuyun's command face to face, a little slow down, and then mixed with Shen umbrella home.
When entering the house, Chen Jing was still cooking the bamboo shoots Luo Qiuyun picked up today. They were very curious. Looking at Luo Qiuyun, they asked, "what's that delicious? Can I have it tonight? "
Luo Qiuyun speechless, secret way: sure enough, they are eating right! Shen and Luo are very curious, but they can't wait until tomorrow morning
"Ah, it's been so long, but it's good to have something to eat!" Shen San said regretfully.
When Luo Tianli heard that he couldn't eat until tomorrow, he felt a little less excited. Then he asked, "elder sister, why wait for tomorrow? Can't you have it today? "
"My uncle is so stupid. When bamboo shoots are boiled, they need to be bleached. Otherwise, they are not delicious. I don't understand that!" Without waiting for Luo Qiuyun to return to him, Luo Tianxiang first explained the reason.
"I see. No wonder it's delicious." Luo Tianli suddenly realized.
Knowing that he couldn't eat bamboo shoots tonight, Luo Tianli had the idea of other dishes and wanted Luo Qiuyun to make his favorite stewed pork with potatoes and chicken with chestnuts.
He hasn't eaten these two dishes for a long time since he made stewed meat at home. He misses them very much!
However, Luo Qiuyun didn't do what he wanted, because the potatoes she brought back were quietly planted in the front yard. Without materials, how to make stewed pork with potatoes?!
The next day, Luo Tianli goes to bed together and asks Luo Qiuyun to fry bamboo shoots for him. In order to make up for last night's loss, Luo Qiuyun doesn't refuse this time. After all, she also wants to taste the taste of tender bamboo shoots.
There are many dishes for cooking tender bamboo shoots in later generations. Luo Qiuyun didn't bother to make all those patterns. He only used bamboo shoots to make three dishes for the table. However, these three dishes are enough to attract people.
There are three dishes: stir fried bamboo shoots with dried meat, stuffed bamboo shoots with meat, and boiled bamboo shoots. Although there are not many styles, they have a unique taste. There is no doubt that Chen Jing and Luo Tianxiang are the first to eat, while Luo Qiuyun is the least.
Just that day, the master was absent from class, so the two diners suggested that the family go up to the mountain to break bamboo shoots. Naturally, Shanzhen had to pull some bamboo shoots and hide them at home. Luo Qiuyun planned to get some dried bamboo shoots to eat in the winter, and finally agreed to their suggestion.
A group of five people, including an injured person, a child of three or four years old, went up the mountain with a basket on his back.
It was the same bamboo forest yesterday. Luo Qiuyun and Luo Tianli were responsible for breaking bamboo shoots and transporting them to a place to peel the shells for Chen Jing, Shen San and Luo Tianxiang.
Not to mention, although the number of Luo Qiuyun's brothers and sisters is less than the other three, they work faster than the three of them. When they finally get ready to go back, they have to help Luo Qiuyun and Luo Tianli peel a lot of bamboo shoots together.
