pastoral fragrance

Chapter 194
Hearing what Xia Yan said, Mrs. Han was very relieved, this doctor Xia is really kind-hearted.Thinking of the basket of loquats that Xia Yan brought into the kitchen just now, these two must have gone there to pick the loquats.Han smiled and said: "You guys rest first, I'll peel the loquats and make you burn rock sugar loquats to drink."

After speaking, he quickly entered the stove room, wandered around and got busy.

Qiulin glanced around and didn't see the eldest sister for a week, and couldn't help asking: "Father, where did the eldest sister go, why is there no one?"

Xu Nanshan weaved the mia skillfully, and the bamboo in his hand was flying up and down quickly. "Isn't she just like you, she can't stay idle at home, and now she went to the river to fish. She said that she wanted to fry two big fish at noon. Doctor Xia will eat with us at noon today. "Xu Nanshan also has a very good impression of Xia Yan. This person not only cured the child's mother's illness, but also saved Qiulin again and again. Now he doesn't know how to thank him. Xia Yan is fine.

Xia Yan was naturally eager to stay here for lunch, but with a blushing smile on his face, "Since I came to Luoshui Village, I don't know how many meals I have eaten at Uncle Xu's house. It’s here, I’m really sorry.”

"What's there to be sorry about? In the countryside we buy everything in the city. Anyway, it's just commonplace food. It's just an extra table of chopsticks. What's the trouble? I'm afraid Dr. Xia will look down on our simple food! "

Xia Yan quickly waved his hand, "Otherwise, no, since Second Uncle Xu has already said so, then I won't be polite." Xia Yan quickly replied politely.

Xu Nanshan is still talking now, "That's right, you are the savior of our whole family. What's wrong with eating a meal? If you want to say sorry, it's our family!" When Xu Nanshan was talking, his hands The work in the house has not been left behind, and after a while, a dustpan has been woven into a part.

Around noon, Qiuyue came to her yard carrying three heavy fish.This harvest is considered rich, so Qiuyue is in a pretty good mood.As soon as he entered the yard, he saw that the two sitting in the yard were not Xia Yan and Xiaomei, and who were they?

Qiuyue approached the two of them, and before she could show off that she had caught three fish, she suddenly found that both of them had been hanged.Qiuyue's face darkened, and she said distressedly: "What are you doing, why are you all in this state, did you fall in the woods?"

The embarrassment in Qiulin's heart, why did the eldest sister guess right. "I just tripped over a small stone, it's nothing serious. When I came back, I ran into my aunt. She insisted on finding fault and beat me. Brother Xia Yan fought with her to protect me, that's why I was injured."

Qiuyue's brows frowned even deeper, with the tone of a big sister reprimanding the subordinates, "I said you two are stupid, if she wants to hit someone, you just stretch your necks and wait for her to hit you, don't you know how to run away? We're at our house Yard, if she dares to chase into the yard to beat people, I hope she can eat something good!" These two idiots, Mrs. Yan has a thick shoulder and round waist, and she is a general who wins every fight, her hands and feet are very smooth, ordinary women They can't even beat her, not to mention these two skinny people.

Seeing Qiuyue's reprimanding tone, Qiulin said in a low voice, "Eldest sister, my uncle is much worse than us, she has gone into the field again." And she almost died, Qiulin dare not say that, I'm afraid to scare my family when I say it!
"Ha, it deserves it!" Qiuyue originally thought that Qiulin and the others had suffered, so it seemed that it was Yan Shi who was unlucky.Let her drink a few sips of muddy water, it is a joy.At this moment, Qiuyue regrets not going all the way to see, she also wants to see Yan's distressed appearance when he fell into the water!
"I won't tell you, I'm going to cut the fish right now, Doctor Xia, let's have lunch with us today." Qiuyue went to the stove house with the fish while talking.Not long after, the wooden cutting board was moved out of the stove, and the fish was cut open.Qiu Song usually does these chores at home, and she rarely dissects these things, so the operation is quite slow.

At this moment, Han has boiled the loquat with rock sugar, and scooped the juice into a large wooden basin that was cleaned.After scooping up water to clean the pan, we began to cook with water.After washing all the rice and throwing it into the pot, and putting a piece of dry pine wood into the stove hole, Han moved the steaming pot of rock sugar loquat water to the big table in the main room.He took a few rough porcelain bowls and scooped them up with spoons one by one, and called out at the door of the main room, "The rock sugar loquat water is ready, come and drink it." After eating Xia Yan, I took Xu Nanshan in a bowl.

Turning around, I saw my eldest daughter cutting up the fish. It seemed that it had been a while since she came out with these fish, but the fish was still being pushed back and forth on the chopping board.Han quickly came over, "I'll cut the fish open, go drink the loquat water, and then cut the yams on the stove into shreds, as well as the green onion and garlic, let's fry shredded yams and fried bacon first."

At this moment, when someone came to take over her class, Qiuyue naturally wished for it.Seeing the second brother and mother cutting fish and killing chickens and ducks seems to be no trouble, but it is different when it comes to my own hands.Qiuyue couldn't help sighing, it seems that she is not the kind of material for killing chickens, ducks, and fish, and it is better to use the knife as soon as possible.

Han Shi took the knife from Qiuyue's hand while counting. "Qiuyue, you are already 15 years old now, and the eldest is not young. I'm afraid that when Ah Cheng comes back, your marriage will almost be settled. You have to learn how to do the inside and outside of this family. Marry After the past, you can't let your mother-in-law serve you, can you?" She also knew that Qiuyue was not the one who was greedy and lazy, but there was still something to say.It's better than letting the mother-in-law talk about it when Qiuyue gets married in the future, right?

Mentioning this, Qiuyue's face turned red again.Hey, Brother Ah Cheng has been in the capital for several months, and he probably will be back in two months.Hey, I really miss him a little bit.In fact, it doesn't matter to her whether he wins the first prize, as long as this person treats her sincerely.

Qiuyue remembered what Brother Acheng said to herself when he left Haitang Village that day, and she felt very happy, Brother Acheng, Qiuyue is here waiting for you to come back.

"What are you doing standing here, go and wash your hands and drink loquat water." Seeing that Qiuyue was still standing still, Han could not help but urge her.What is this girl thinking?

oh!Only then did Qiuyue regain her senses, and her face was filled with red clouds.She ding ding dong dong ran into the stove room, scooped up water to wash her hands, went to the main room and drank a few mouthfuls of loquat water, and only then did she feel that she was a little normal.

After drinking the loquat water, Qiuyue rolled up her sleeves and was ready to go to the kitchen to cook.Qiulin hopped up to Qiuyue, opened her eyes wide and said, "Sister, if you want to cook, let me help you light the fire."

Qiuyue watched Qiulin jump up and down, how could she dare to let her light the fire? "If you keep lighting the fire like this, you should just stay there. I'll just burn the wood, so I don't have to hold firewood all the time. Besides, isn't Dr. Xia here? You can just talk with him for a while."

Entering the kitchen, Qiuyue looked at a few peeled yams and a stalk of cabbage on the stove, which was packed in a shaukei, and there were still crystal drops of water on it, obviously it had just been washed. Understand.There is also a handful of green onion and garlic sprouts, and a small piece of bacon is placed on the cutting board.

Qiuyue first skimmed the cabbage and put it in the wooden basin, then soaked it in water.Then start cutting the potatoes.Qiuyue has been doing farm work for so many years, and her hands and feet are also quick.At this moment, the sound of kitchen knives "dumping" on the cutting board was heard in the kitchen, and the potato balls that were originally egg-like quickly turned into filaments.

Soak the chopped potato shreds in water in a basin, and soak off the potato powder on top, then pack it with a Shau Kei and put it aside for later use.

Qiuyue swept away the ingredients on the stove, and immediately had a recipe in her mind.Stir-fried bacon with potato shreds, stir-fried gray vegetables, fried cabbage, and fried fish.The four dishes are not too many, but they are not too many, and it is not bad to entertain guests with fish and meat.Qiuyue quickly cut the bacon into shreds, chopped the scallions and garlic sprouts, and put them aside for later use.

After cleaning the wok, Qiuyue took out a jar of melted lard from the cupboard, dug out two spoonfuls of it with a spatula, and put it in the wok.After the lard is completely melted, put the chopped ginger and garlic and the freshly picked peppercorns in the pot to sauté until fragrant. After a few stir-fries, a scent of ginger and garlic will waft through the whole room. .At this time, Qiuyue threw the cut bacon down again, and started to stir fry it again and again.This bacon is very fragrant when fried, and Qiuyue likes to smell it.

The fire is very strong, and a plate of fried bacon with potato shreds is freshly baked.Qiuyue continued to dig oil and put it in the pot. This time, she specially put an oil shuttle in it. It tastes very fragrant when fried with cabbage.When Qiuyue was frying the cabbage, Han had just finished dissecting the fish and was cleaning the fish right now.She didn't feel a little hungry when she smelled the fragrance in the room.Looking at Qiuyue's busy figure in front of the stove, Han is quite satisfied, her daughter still has a way of cooking.It means that the blue is better than the blue and the green is better than the blue!

Seeing Qiuyue put the cabbage on the plate just now, Mrs. Han said, "Fry the cabbage as well, let's fry the fish last." Mrs. Han cut the fish into slices, and then put the food on the table with smooth movements.Qiulin was injured, so she did the small things like holding chopsticks and bowls by herself.Xia Yan wanted to help, but Han refused. "It's okay, Doctor Xia, sit down, and you can start eating right away."
