Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 403 Gastrodia elata stewed pigeon

Guan's mother is an old supplier who went to a food company and then transferred to a theater troupe. Her cooking skills are recognized as masters in the sugar and wine company's dormitory.

Seeing Zhou Zhiguan's mother, she said angrily: "It's a holiday, but it turned out that I couldn't see anyone during this holiday, and instead became a rare visitor."

After speaking, he smiled at Jiang Shuyi: "The good girl came here a few times and asked Tingting to listen to the tape and watch the video."

Jiang Shuyi nodded and smiled at Guan's mother: "Hello, Auntie, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Shu Yi is obedient." Mama Guan said, "I'll be busy in a little while, so you can figure out how to play by yourself. Why did you bring vegetables with your elbows?"

Zhou Zhi put the black bean fish on the table: "It seems that Jiachuan rarely cooks this way, let Auntie try it."

Guan Tingting nodded like a pounding garlic: "This is delicious! Brother Elder Brother and I want to come here specially!"

"Brother Elbow will spoil you!" Mother Guan said with a smile, "Go!"

Zhou Zhi thought for a while: "Why don't we go to the rooftop and tidy up the pigeon house by the way."

The rooftop is actually a nice place. In the past, several families who liked to grow flowers and vegetables all set up a small plot on the roof.

Jiachuan is not cold in winter, the leaves of the grapes are all gone, and after the vines are cleaned up, the light on the entire roof is better.

In the small vegetable garden surrounded by bricks and stones, the nutrient-rich humus nourishes blood-skin vegetables, cabbage, radishes, garlic sprouts, chives, coriander... and it also creates a thriving scene.

Yang He made a wooden ladder under the concrete platform for going up to the pigeon building. The tenons of the wooden ladder are stuck in the small flower window in the brick hole, which is very strong.

The space under the wooden ladder has also been turned into a tool room, where there are various agricultural and carpentry tools that can be shared by everyone.

Because of the problem of pigeon droppings, the place where the laundry table used to be was removed, and the masonry and cement boards became the supporting wall on the side of the wooden ladder in the tool room.

In the reserved space, a thick wooden board is used as a bench, and a canopy is propped up on it, so you can sit here and watch the small vegetable garden.

If it comes to summer, the entire roof is covered by green leaves of all sizes, and grapes, loofahs, cucumbers and other melons and fruits hang down, which is actually very beautiful.

On the top of the building, Jiang Shuyi stood at the bottom, Guan Tingting stood in the middle, Zhou Zhi climbed to the front of the pigeon house, opened the door, asked the people below to hand over a dustpan and broom, and began to clean up the pigeon droppings.

The grids inside are pigeon nests, which are similar to fixed drawer grids, and many pigeons are hatching eggs and nesting.

There was also a group of a dozen or so fat vegetable pigeons on the ground. As soon as Zhou Zhi came in, he flopped onto the shed outside, cooing and expressing his dissatisfaction.

In the drawers on the lower floors, there were also a few vegetable pigeons that had left eggs in their nests, and these were taken away after Zhou Zhi cleaned them up.

Check after cleaning, add straw to some nests where the grass is scattered, and check the feed trough and water tank.

The pigeons here are all Guan Tingting's in name, but a few homing pigeons were bought by Zhou Zhisi's cousin from the Pigeon Association. The breed is very good, and Zhou Zhi has strictly controlled the pedigree until now.

It is to keep the two breeds better together and breed them when the pigeons are in estrus, so as to get better offspring as much as possible.

However, they had been breeding pigeons for Guan Tingting before, and now the dovecote has introduced vegetable pigeons to Mama Guan. Zhou Zhi's great business of raising pigeons can basically be declared dead just like his great business of raising fish.

The ambition to go to Yumenguan to fly their own pigeons has now turned into daily sweeping and feeding, watching them circling freely in the sky above Jiachuan.

It sounds simple, but in fact there is a lot of work, the most important thing is to check the roof, and whether there are any traces of mice at the foot of the house.

Coming out of the pigeon house, in addition to the tools, Zhou Zhi also had a grass nest in his hand, and there were six or seven pigeon eggs in the grass nest: "The pigeons lay eggs like a hen."

Jiang Shuyi was already sitting on the bench reading a book. Seeing some movement here, she took off the headset of the radio: "This rooftop vegetable garden is so comfortable, and the Agricultural Machinery Bureau dormitory doesn't have it."

"That's right." Zhou Zhi couldn't help but feel amused: "You guys are all playing in the vegetable field, and the wasteland around the Agricultural Machinery Bureau can be planted. Of course, you can't see the roof of the building."

"Why don't I know?" Jiang Shuyi was a little surprised.

"You, you don't hear anything outside the window." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Old Yin in your concierge planted a circle around it. Twice the pumpkins and winter melons I moved to your house were grown by Lao Yin. You have eaten them. I don't know yet."

"Really? The pumpkin and winter melon were given by Grandpa Yin?"

"Otherwise?" Zhou Zhi said with a smile, "Do you think it's preposterous for me to bring a winter melon to your door?"

Jiang Shuyi blushed again: "You're talking nonsense again."

Zhou Zhi froze for a moment, suddenly felt so wronged, he really didn't mean to make a joke just now, and he was misunderstood by this girl.

However, it's hard to explain, but fortunately, Guan's mother's voice sounded downstairs: "Elbow Shuyi, and Tingting, come down!"

There is a saying that Gastrodia elata stewed squab, stewed chicken, theoretically only leave the meat but not the bones, why?Because if there are bones, the effect of the medicine will penetrate into the bones of chickens and pigeons, and the human body cannot absorb it.

But Zhou Zhi thought it was nonsense, as the saying goes, any talk about curative effect regardless of dosage is a hooligan.

Mama Guan planted enough Gastrodia elata, and it was still fresh. She cut it into thin slices and steamed it with the pigeon meat. The soup in the stew pot was clear and bright.

There are also two pigeon eggs in each stew pot, which is the ingenuity of Guan's mother.

Usually, there are two cups in the stewing pot of pigeon and gastrodia elata. Mama Guan must have not expected Jiang Shuyi's arrival, but this is not a problem for her. Added two pigeon eggs inside.

"How about Shu Yi?" Zhou Zhi asked while eating his cup with a spoon, "This is Guan Ma's specialty. I can't just choose gastrodia elata."

Gastrodia elata is easy to go sour and even smell like urine, but really fresh or well-processed gastrodia elata does not have such problems.

However, here comes the problem. How to distinguish good and bad Gastrodia elata just by its appearance is another science.

"Delicious." Jiang Shuyi nodded, and then said to Guan's mother, who propped her chin and watched the three children eating the stew pot: "Thank you, auntie."

"Thank you, I like to come again next time." Guan Ma said with a smile: "Hurry up and eat, this is just an appetizer, and I will make loach after eating. Xiang, I dare not do it first."

After finishing the stew, Guan Ma started to cook, and Guan Tingting invited Jiang Shuyi to play in her room.

Guan Tingting's room is what the most fashionable little girl in the county should look like in this era.

There are two heavenly kings on the wall - Andy Lau and Aaron Kwok. Poor Jacky Cheung, although he sings the best, was ruthlessly suppressed by Guan Tingting, who is learning vocal music, because of his appearance, and he was not allowed to go on the wall.

Liming is actually not bad, but in Guan Tingting's eyes, she is a bit "rustic", and she doesn't like it either.

The fate of female stars here is even more difficult. It can be said that they are the second king of iron, and the female stars of flowing water.

Now the one on the wall is Meng Tingwei who just released his famous solo album "Look, You Look at the Moon's Face".
