Four hundred and twentieth chapters cricket tofu(1/2)
Stone ears are named after they grow in cracks on cliffs. They are difficult to pick and have high nutritional value. They are considered a relatively precious product.
It’s a pity that the production is limited and it’s still good to eat by yourself. It’s impossible to sell it in large quantities for the time being.
The mute grandfather swung the rope and moved on the cliff. He quickly collected dozens of stone ears, and then everyone went up the cliff together.
It was not until his feet stepped onto the solid earth that Director Fan and Song Yizhen felt at ease.
The two of them pounded their waists and legs, and felt a surge of soreness. Look at the mute grandpa, there was nothing wrong with it. This is the difference.
Thinking about the legendary Medicine King who lived to be over 100 or decades, and the mute senior obviously had this trend, the two of them made up their minds:
You must hold this thigh tightly.
When Liu Qingshan and the others returned to Mu Keling, the children's treasure hunting activities were still in full swing.
Li Tieniu is not as good as Liu Qingshan. He specifically hides notes in difficult places, which makes the children complain.
"Brother, brother, come quickly!"
When the little old lady saw Liu Qingshan, she immediately shouted.
Liu Qingshan went over and saw a piece of thick broken wood in front of him. According to Shan Xing's judgment, this piece of big wood had obvious signs of being moved, and there must be a note of paper underneath.
But the wood weighs hundreds of pounds, and the kids have small arms and legs, just like dragonflies shaking stone pillars.
"This iron bull is so unreliable. The fourth and fifth brothers, why don't you ask Big Bear to help?"
Liu Qingshan was nagging, finding a place that was easier to work hard, putting his hands on the big wood, sinking his energy into the dantian, and exerting force to move the huge wood away.
"Haha, there is really a note!" The little old lady grabbed a note in her hand, and her big eyes narrowed into two slits.
Shan Xing explained to the elder brother: "Big Bear helped us find a lot of notes, and then he was driven back by Brother Tie Niu."
At this time, a few more little kids searched for Liu Qingshan, but then they saw their relatives and surrounded them and shouted:
"Brother Qingshan, Brother Tie Niu is too bullying. You can't ask him to hide treasures no matter what he says next time!"
"I haven't found any of them yet."
Erjiazi was the most straightforward and started howling directly.
You are the most promising!
The little brother-in-law hurriedly came up and stuffed the note he had just found into Er Jiazi's hand.
"Woooo, I want to find it myself." Er Jiazi, a guy who wiped his tears, started searching nearby.
Liu Qingshan thought this was not bad, and there were not so many smooth things. Sometimes asking children to taste the pain is not a bad thing.
It was not until noon that the treasure hunt ended very unsatisfactorily.
After the children communicated with each other, they could barely get a note.
However, according to Liu Qingshan's plan, three tickets are prepared for each person.
Li Tieniu looked at the dejected children, and he was still grinning and laughing:
"Tell you, I've deliberately let the water go, otherwise I can't find any one of them!"
If this guy hadn't been too big, the kids would have wanted to surround him and beat him up to relieve themselves.
Liu Qingshan summarized the activity: affirmed the children's will to overcome difficulties, and finally announced that after returning, each person would have two villain books and one extracurricular reading material.
The children were so happy that they went down the mountain to receive the prize.
Liu Qingshan led the fourth and fifth brothers to stay at Mu Keling for lunch, and Zheng Xiaoxiao also stayed together.
He was helping Aunt Zhang cook when he heard Xiao Wu shouting from afar: "Qingshan, hurry up and take the big wooden basin, good guy, finally caught up with this wave, there are so many fish."
Not far from the woodcut, there is a winding mountain stream. I guess Xiaowu and the others are scrambling there.
Liu Qingshan then ran over with a large wooden basin with his head. Zheng Xiaoxiao also led the fourth and fifth brothers and played in the mountain stream with barefoots. The stream water just disappeared from their ridges.
By the stream, Grandpa Guaizi and Mr. Wu sat on a small stool, listening quietly to the gurgling stream and the giggling of the children.
As for the fish I caught, there are only a dozen small fish more than an inch long, which can be filled in canned bottles.
"Just use a large wooden basin?" Liu Qingshan muttered dissatisfied.
Xiao Wu was whispering: "The main thing is to decorate the stream and go back and make fish soup."
Isn’t this little fish enough to make fish soup?
However, the mountain streams are filled with cold-water fish, which grows slowly and tastes fresh enough, making fish soup is really good.
"Oh, what's this thing? You're even biting your hands!"
Xiao Wu suddenly exclaimed, raised his arm and swung hard in the air.
There was something hanging down on his finger, about ten centimeters long, swinging back and forth with his fingers.
"Little Fifth Brother, this is a citrus, it's delicious!"
The little old lady was closer to him, so she took the lead, stretched out her little hand, pinched the cicada, and then directed Xiao Wu and put her finger into the stream.
As soon as the cicada was touched, the cicada immediately released its pliers, and then the little brother-in-law was pinched out of the water and threw it directly into the large wooden basin on the shore.
Children in the countryside will catch this.
Grandpa Guaizi was also interested: "Citrus, good thing, this thing is the most nutritious. The old leader, I asked Dashuai to make you a cicada tofu at noon. That kid's skill is pretty good."
Xiao Wu shook his fingers: "I'll eat you at noon, I dare to pick me up!"
Liu Qingshan also took off his shoes and stepped into the mountain stream, helping to turn over the stones together. Cicadas are usually hidden under the small stones.
This thing looks similar to a crayfish, with a dark and shiny shell and a pair of large tongs in front.
However, cicadas have very high requirements for the water quality of the growth environment and must be free of any pollution, especially waters such as pesticides and fertilizers to survive.
After more than ten years, it gradually became less and less, and it almost became extinct.
Because of this, it is also called a water source indicator and is absolutely pure natural and pollution-free food.
There are still many cicadas in the mountain stream. If you turn a few stones, you can basically pinch one.
Seeing that there were twenty or thirty pieces in the large wooden basin, Liu Qingshan quickly called Xiao Wu, who was working hard. This kid obviously hadn't learned to stop at the right time.
Most people really don’t know how to process citrus tofu, so the handsome uncle really takes action himself.
Don’t look like it’s called cynical tofu, it actually has nothing to do with tofu.
I saw the uncle, clean the cicada, crush it with a stone mill, and use gauze to break the residue.
Boil water in the pot. After the water boils, pour the filtered citrus juice into the pot and it will soon become brain-like.
It looks a bit like tofu brain, with a little pink color.
Finally, add a little salt, add some chopped green onion and leeks, and the citrus tofu is finished.
Take a sip with a small spoon, and the taste is just one word: fresh!
After tasting two spoons, Liu Qingshan praised it all the time. Later generations rarely tasted this traditional delicacy. At that time, the citrus was already ridiculously expensive, with a pound of nearly 200 yuan, and it was basically priced but not in the market.
Liu Qingshan felt that he could develop the cicada resources in the future.
They no longer use pesticides and fertilizers. As long as they keep it, they can reproduce more cicadas in mountain streams and ditches.
If you don’t want to export, you can earn money when the tourism industry rises and you can meet your own production and sales.
In addition to the citrus tofu, there were also newly picked stone ears on the dining table. They washed off the mud and sand on them, blanched them, and then stir-fryed them on a plate.
Stone ears can clear away heat and detoxify, but because they are cold, they are not easy to eat too much.
In addition, I also fried a few dishes of vegetables and cooked fresh fish soup. Everyone ate and drank, and they were a little overeating.
Even Mr. Wu has a big appetite and has eaten half a big cake more than usual.
Director Fan also burped and praised: "This is the real food supplement."
By the afternoon, the mute grandfather began to prescribe medicine to Mr. Wu, and Song Yiting also began to figure out the newly learned acupuncture method.
The technique is a bit natural, and there is no model for practice here. In the end, Xiao Wu volunteered to practice first on him.
This also means that everyone has a new understanding of Xiaowu. Although this kid doesn't seem to be very polite, he really has nothing to say about filial piety.
Liu Qingshan saw that he had nothing to do, so he led the fourth and fifth brothers home.
The two little girls were also exhausted and could not walk later, so Liu Qingshan hugged each one on his back.
Although Zheng Xiaoxiao was tired, she still held on and helped Liu Qingshan carry one.
By the time they arrived home, the little Lao Si and Shan Xing on their backs were already asleep.
However, after arriving at home, the two little girls immediately became lively, chattering and clamoring for the award, and then each of them held an extracurricular book and read happily.
Liu Qingshan and Zheng Xiaoxiao looked at each other, and a smile appeared on the corners of their mouths.
...
The next day, Liu Qingshan drove his car and took his elder sister and the others to the county town. As for Zheng Xiaoxiao, he had already followed Zheng Hongqi back last night.
I took the opportunity to go to the factory to see a few masters who were already looking through the instructions, which made them a little overwhelmed.
There are two technicians from the island country next to them, responsible for the specific installation.
