Chapter 100: ,go back home
Qin Rou took the passion fruit vine seedlings home, planted them under the thatched umbrella, and set up a little pergola to facilitate them to climb the vines freely. According to Aunt Fu, the passion fruit life It's cheap, it's easy to feed, it can live on any kind of plant, even a simple stem can live, and it can grow into a year, it can bloom several times in a year, and bear three or four batches of fruit, the flowers they bloom. It's very strange, it's neither good-looking nor ugly, but it looks a bit fierce.
Qin Rou thinks that the passion fruit blooms, it looks like the piranha in the game. The passion fruit flower is a little purple, and the petals open like a piranha with its mouth open.
When the flowers fade, they turn into beautiful passion fruits.
"You must live."
If these passion fruits are planted in the yard, then there will be no shortage of passion fruits for the next year, and you can drink a cup of passion fruit tea from time to time.
Lu Yan is not sensitive to this kind of fruit, because he secretly opened it and tasted one, it was sour and wanted to vomit, and the sparse yellow flesh and black seeds really couldn't stimulate people's appetite.
"What delicious things can this fruit do? Don't ask me to eat it."
Zhouzhou and Dumpling also didn't want to eat sour fruit, they were on Dad's side, "Mom, we eat sweet fruit."
"Sweet fruit is delicious."
Easy to be incredibly sweet.
There are countless sweet fruits rotten in the wild in the wild, why eat sour fruits?
There are many delicious fruits on the mountain all year round, and the small animals live very freely, which is one of the reasons why there are more animals such as monkeys and squirrels.
"Wait a few days and you'll know it's delicious." Some freshly picked passion fruits are really sour, and they will become sour and sweet after a few days of storage. When wrinkled, the pulp inside will be sweeter.
Qin Rou waited for two or three days, and after the peel was slightly wrinkled, she cut seven or eight passion fruits, and poured all the pulp inside into their huge enamel jar, according to the proportion Add warm water and sugar.
Passion fruit juice does not need too much operation at all, just add water and sugar, it can be turned into a cup of sweet and sour summer drink, the fragrance is extremely strong, this juice also naturally brings With the "black pearl", sucking the sweet and sour juice and chewing the crispy black seeds, not to mention how comfortable it is.
When Qin Rou drank passion fruit juice, she liked to chew passion fruit seeds zizily.
After soaking the passion fruit juice, Qin Rou scooped out a small glass with a spoon. She smelled the rich and attractive fruity aroma, raised her head and took a sip, the sweet and sour juice entered the mouth, I felt that the whole mouth was occupied by the fruity aroma.
The reason why passion fruit is called passion fruit is because its juice is extremely rich, like the juice of hundreds of fruits mixed together, you can taste all kinds of wonderful flavors.
It was delicious!
The only downside is that the juice is warm. If it has been chilled, it will definitely be more sweet and pleasant. Qin Rou put the enamel jar filled with passion fruit juice in the freezer together with the lid, and there is no need to freeze it. For a long time, it can be taken out and drunk in an hour or two.
Qin Rou is thinking about making some square molds? It is used to make small ice cubes in the freezer. Of course, this kind of thing is not urgent. The two cubs in their family are still young, so they cannot eat too much ice. When the cubs grow up, it will be a hot day. You must be craving for ice cream and popsicles.
Frozen the juice, Qin Rou went to cook a few dishes, their family wants to eat some exotic dishes today, pan-fried octopus with green kumquat juice, lychee stuffed shrimp, lychee shrimp balls, And pineapple rice, accompanied by a glass of fragrant passion fruit juice.
Lychee Stuffed Shrimp and Lychee Shrimp Balls are two dishes that are scary just by the name? Ordinary people probably never thought that lychees can still cook vegetables. That's right, they use fresh lychee meat with fresh shrimp! Everything I've eaten is delicious!
Put on the shrimp tail, and finally put a full plate on the pot to steam, steaming out a beautiful crystal white rabbit.
The lychee meat is bulging, the surface is crystal clear, and the shrimp paste inside seems to be squeezed out. This dish is very good-looking, but it takes a lot of craftsmanship. Filling fresh lychees with shrimp paste is a very challenging operation, so Qin Rou only made eleven in total.
Qin Rou tasted one first, and the taste was very wonderful.
It is much simpler to make lychee shrimp balls. After frying the shrimp balls, add fresh lychees and stir fry for a while. Sprinkle white sesame seeds when serving, it smells very fragrant.
Qin Rou prepared the dishes.
It's just that the meals she cooked, Lu Yan, Xia Mingxi, and Zhouzhou dumplings, all regarded them as dark dishes.
Lu Yan swallowed hard: "Can lychees be fried?"
How wonderful is this?
Forgive Captain Lu for not being able to imagine the taste of fried lychee meat.
"Daughter-in-law, since you planted that strange fruit in the yard, your cooking skills have become strange..."
Even if you want to innovate, this is not the way to do it.
Xia Mingxi also swallowed: "Little aunt, can you really eat it?"
This uncle and nephew have the same idea, are these dishes edible? How do I cook it tonight? It seems that the pan-fried octopus on the side can barely be eaten. As for the others?
What's up with that weird pineapple rice? ? !
"The pineapple sent by Lao Wang's comrades from Qianning, you... did you bring it for fried rice?"
Qin Rou is very puzzled: "Can't you make fried rice?"
Lu Yan: "…"
Lu Yan, who only loves steamed buns and can accept claypot rice, did not expect that one day he would eat strange fruit fried rice.
Qin Rou brought out another large glass of passion fruit juice and poured a glass for each of the family members, "There is also a glass of egg juice, you can taste it and see if it is delicious."
Lu Yan: "..."
Xia Mingxi: "..."
Zhou Zhou and Dumpling saw the diced carrots in the pineapple rice, and suddenly felt the same as their father cousin and felt that it was difficult tonight.
Mom started to cook strange meals.
Little Dumpling couldn't help but tug at Dad's trouser legs: "Dad, I want to eat steamed buns."
Zhou Zhou: "I also want to..."
Xia Mingxi: "I also want to..."
This is the first time that Qin Rou has encountered such a disapproving picture of her family.
"Sit down for me, Lu Yan, take the lead!"
"Brother Xixi must be a good example."
"Zhouzhou and Dumplings are well-behaved."
Lu Yan, who was named, grabbed the two children and put Zhouzhou and Dumpling on the bench. Qin Rou scooped a large bowl of pineapple fried rice for each of them, and put a beautiful sandwich on them. lychee stuffed shrimp, pan-fried octopus.
Older brother Zhou Zhou picked up the spoon and scooped a mouthful of rice into his mouth. He found that the sweet rice had the aroma of pineapple, and it tasted very good in summer.
Lu Yan eats fried hairtail.
Xia Mingxi is the most adventurous and has the spirit of trying poison. He took the initiative to eat lychee stuffed shrimp. After chewing it twice, his eyes lit up.
Delicious!
I didn't expect that lychees could be paired with shrimp, so Xia Mingxi went to taste the lychees and shrimp **** and found that it was even more delicious! "Little aunt, your craftsmanship is very good, little uncle, the lychee shrimp is delicious!"
Now he is no longer a chubby boy when he was four or five years old, but has grown into a "sturdy" elementary school student. He usually wears an army green schoolbag and a red scarf on his chest. Miyoshi's monitor.
If you find something good, you should actively promote it and share it with everyone.
But—
At this time, no one believed the credit of the three-good squad leader. His little uncle Lu Yan was eating fried octopus one after another, and he was determined not to touch the evil boiled lychee.
The two children Zhouzhou and Dumpling honestly eat small fried rice, ignoring the diced carrots in the pineapple fried rice, this fried rice is sour and sweet!
Zhou Zhou ate the fried rice one by one, and the dumplings pulled the carrots aside and scooped the other fried rice, leaving only the carrots, "Mom, I'm done!"
Qin Rou took the bowl in his hand and scooped a large spoonful of diced carrots to his mouth.
Little Dumpling looked at her pitifully, and finally ate it with tears.
Qin Rou hugged him and kissed his cheek, "What a good son of mother."
Zhou Zhou said: "Mom, I want to kiss too."
Qin Rou kissed him again.
Qin Rou brought the passion fruit juice to the two of them to drink, and the brothers took two sips and said in amazement, "Mom, it's sweet!"
"Sweet juice."
Xia Mingxi also found this passion fruit juice to be particularly delicious.
Lu Yan will finally start to eat lychee stuffed shrimp, although he is mentally prepared, but eating it in his mouth does not seem to be as bad as he imagined...
Lychee Fried Shrimp looks weird, but unexpectedly delicious, and this pineapple rice tastes okay too.
Qin Rou raised her eyebrows at him: "It's not bad, right?"
"It's fine to eat once in a while, but don't cook this every day." Lu Yan said that he couldn't accept it.
Qin Rou: “…”
The little dumpling suddenly said in fright: "Mom, the stone of water, I ate it!"
Zhou Zhou said: "It will take root and sprout in your stomach."
"Mom..."
"Brother, don't scare younger brother, it's okay, those are the seeds of fruit, you can eat them."
"Lu Yan, come and try this juice, is it good?"
Lu Yan looked at the light yellow juice with black seeds floating, and said rejection: "It is said that grabbing a man's heart means grabbing a man's stomach, daughter-in-law, you Could you please stop throwing your man's heart away?"
Lu Yan found that although his daughter-in-law can't make Mapo tofu boiled pork slices like the next door, she can cook some strange meals...
She has fried prawns with lychees, fried rice with pineapples today, and next time will she have fried rice with mangoes, stewed pig trotters with lychees, and some mango squid, oysters and vermicelli soup... She must not condone her evil behavior.
Qin Rou laughed: "It's obviously delicious, but you are really biting Lu Dongbin and don't know the good heart."
"Auntie, this juice is delicious and smells so good! I'll bring some for Jing Yi to drink tomorrow."
"I will make fresh juice tomorrow and bring it to Jing Yi to drink. We have grown egg fruit at home, and I can make it later if I want to drink it."
…
Captain Lu Yan, who said no, finally acted as the pillar of the family and finished the strange food cooked by his wife.
He went to wash the dishes, Qin Rou asked him, "Is my man's heart back?"
"It's not an example." Lu Yan looked at her with a smile.
"You say you will eat next time, right?"
"Eat."
"Comrade Xiao Qin, let's discuss, can you not be too imaginative next time..." Lu Yan put his arms around his daughter-in-law's shoulder and discussed with her.
Qin Rou tilted her head and raised her eyebrows to look at him, her beautiful eyes raised like crescent moons, "What do you mean?"
Lu Yan gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want such strange things as stewed pig's trotters with mangoes, lychee oyster soup, and fried bitter gourd with bananas on our family table in the future..."
Mango stewed trotters? Lychee oyster soup? ...banana fried bitter gourd?
Qin Rou: “…”
Is it better for you, Brother Lu, if you can figure it out?
Qin Rou blinked her eyes, she smiled and snuggled into Lu Yan's arms, "Brother Lu, in our family's ability to talk about whimsy, your brother Lu is stronger, really, why don't we Try the banana fried bitter gourd, it sounds too exciting too.”
Lu Yan pinched her ear punitively and said with a smile, "Don't be naughty."
"You also said that the child is Pippi shrimp, and the biggest Pippi shrimp in our family is you."
Qin Rou smiled and kissed him, "We've been married for a few years, you still don't trust my cooking skills, I'm hurt..."
Lu Yan hugged her by the waist, "Take you back to the room for healing."
"Help, where are the two monkeys in our family, Master is going to be captured by the goblin."
"Stop talking, your sons are playing with their cousins."
Xia Mingxi called her mother Lu Xuan: "Mom! I have a good time here with my little uncle. Recently, there are a lot of lychees on the mountain, and I got angry and nosebleed after eating, Mom, you know Are lychees delicious? The lychees here are so big and fresh, the pulp is so sweet, and the juice is super rich, I even lick my fingers after eating them..."
"My little aunt made a very delicious pineapple rice, and lychee stuffed shrimp, Mom, do you know how delicious it is? And lychee fried shrimp, sprinkled with sesame seeds, I eat it One time, I want to eat it for the second time, but my little aunt won't do it..."
"The weather is getting hot recently, and my little aunt also made ice-cold juice. There is a strange fruit here. It smells so fragrant and fragrant, sour and sweet, and it smells drooling..."
…
Lu Sanjie put a blank face, and listened to her son on the other end of the phone, but fortunately this time, it was not about leek box, stewed pig trotters, eggplant pot...etc.
Lychee fried shrimp, this stuff doesn't sound appetizing.
Hehe.
This little brat eats delicious food at his uncle's house. Every time he calls his mother, he has to report on the phone what delicious food he has eaten recently. The dishes made by his little aunt include How delicious, how fragrant Aunt Qin Mian's stewed pork vermicelli...
She drooled down three thousand feet.
My mother, Lu Xuan, was very injured, thinking about the food in the cafeteria where she eats spring onions mixed with tofu every day. pot!
And what does her son eat?
I'm really **** off! She doesn't want this son anymore.
Fortunately, what I said this time about pineapple rice and lychee shrimp did not make people have any appetite.
"Next time, ask your little aunt to cook more lychee shrimp, mango fried eggplant, braised bananas and other dishes." Lu Xuan encouraged on the other end of the phone.
Xia Mingxi: "…"
Xixi thinks, if he really wants to find a stepfather, the best stepfather should be better at cooking, don't let his mother take charge.
Stir fried eggplant with mango?
Can I eat such an unappetizing combination? It's a pity that Uncle Lu didn't want to be his father.
As a three-good old monitor, Xia Mingxi exhorted on the phone: "Mom, if you are looking for a man, you must find a man who can cook, like your little aunt can cook. "
"Don't worry, Xiaoming, your mother and I are much smarter than you."
Now that she has a successful experience like Lu Yan at home, Lu Sanjie certainly remembers to find someone who can cook.
Find someone who can cook especially, if you can't find it, forget it.
"Mom, can you please stop calling me Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming in the textbook is an idiot. How much does it cost to buy stationery, I will help him calculate it every day."
"My name is Xia Mingxi, you call me Xiaoxia, Xiaoxi, Xixi, it's better than Xiaoming...Xiaoming has nothing to do all day long, and will only cause problems for students."
Lu Xuan said: "But your mother thinks Xiaoming is kind, and you are mother's Xiaoming."
After there was no agreement on the phone, the mother and son hung up.
Lu Xuan went to pick up her letter before returning to the dormitory. Pen pal Lu Qing sent her a letter. The two of them are now communicating by correspondence. Lu Xuan feels that it is not bad to know him as a friend .
Just…
In the letters that his younger brother Lu Yan sent to him, he and his daughter-in-law Qin Rou were discussing math problems, and ... Lu Qing would record them one by one in the letters Download the recipe.
Therefore, in addition to working in restaurants on weekdays, he will also practice cooking hard.
Lu Qing wrote the steps and techniques of cooking on the letter, as well as some of his food knowledge in the Guangcheng restaurant, will be recorded on the letter paper, such as Guangcheng's rice rolls How to make it, how is the craftsmanship of the master, how cunning the old gluttons in the city used to be, what materials to choose...
What kind of chicken is the best choice for the white cut chicken, and how to cut the chicken is also very particular...Here is smoked and roasted in winter, what kind of pork to choose and what kind of steps...August Fifteenth, when making moon cakes, how to make fillings...
This time, he wrote a detailed scallion oil-drenched chicken in the letter, what kind of farm chicken is the selected chicken, how to cook it, how to cut the chicken piece by piece, and put it in the restaurant How to arrange the plate, how to drizzle scallion oil...
…
Although he did not describe in detail how delicious this scallion oil-drenched chicken was, or how it tasted, Lu Xuan could keep imagining the cooking process in his mind. , the smell of cooking, and then the more she thought about it, the more hungry she became, the more she thought about it, the more she drooled...
Tossing and turning at night, unable to sleep, all she thought of was the chicken dish, Lu Xuan fantasized about cooking chicken in her dream, and when she woke up in the morning, the corners of her mouth had dry traces of saliva.
Sanjie Lu rationally thought that she should cut off contact with this pen pal who is a chef, but she couldn't help but want to know what other dishes will be sent in the letter next time, she thinks she already knows A lot of dishes have been cooked, but I have only cooked them countless times in my mind, without actually doing them...
I'm so greedy, let's continue to receive his letters.
—This is drinking poison to quench thirst.
Why doesn't this buddy talk to her about math?
In late August, 1975, Lu Yan planned to take a one-month vacation. He took his wife and three children back to his hometown and went to Jiaodao to visit their grandparents (grandma and grandfather).
Zhao Jianghong's marriage application report was approved. He happened to ask for marriage and decided to take Ye Mingxiu back to Lu Province to let his parents meet. Ye Mingxiu thought it was better to meet his parents earlier. Worried about being rejected by his parents.
The Zhao family heard that the two of them were already married, so they were relieved to let Zhao Jianghong take Ye Mingxiu back.
Zhao Jianghong told Lu Yan that the two of them would go back together, and they had decided on a date. They would first arrive in Guangcheng by boat, and then take a train from Guangcheng to Lu Province. a few days.
Qin Rou has not experienced such a long journey for several years. When she thinks of the last time she traveled south from Bincheng to Qiongzhou Island, she feels a lot of heartache. Fortunately, the distance from Qiongzhou Island to Jiaodao is shorter than that of Bincheng. The city is a little closer.
The two families packed up their luggage and took the ship to Guangcheng at the port of Lucheng.
