Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 17 Lunch
Chunqiu has already asked his second brother, Huzi and Xiaoshitou were taken down the river by Chunhua early in the morning, and everyone in the Yang family was very satisfied with the braised fish they ate yesterday, especially the foodie Chunhua, who never forgot, so Chunhua decided that today she Grab two more and eat them at night.

Yang Chunming is currently studying in the study. Like Yang Chunjun, the eldest sister Yang Chunni is doing her own embroidery work in the west room. It is said that it is the task assigned to her by the Gu family yesterday. When Chunqiu heard the news, she still felt sorry for her eldest sister. It's not finished yet, and it's time to embroider again, and her aunt is hard enough.

Chunqiu took out the fish head from the pot, poured the simple cooking wine into the fish head according to yesterday’s preparation, let the fish head taste, cut the onion and ginger into slices, poured oil into the pot, and by the way, chopped green onion and Put the aniseed prickly ash into the oil to taste, add a little chili, stir-fry to taste, and wait until the taste is completely out, then Chunqiu will take out the seasoning inside with a spoon, because there is no help from others, so Chunqiu cooks while cooking, busy There were beads of sweat all over his face, but he didn't have time to wipe it off.

After putting the fish head into the pot and adding water to cook it slowly, he took a breather. Chunqiu squatted by the stove and lit the fire while wiping the sweat from his cheeks with his sleeve. The fish soup will take about 30 minutes It is completely delicious, and the color of the best fish head soup is milky white, like milk, not only smells rich and attractive, but also tastes delicious.

Chunqiu smelled the fragrance from the pot, closed her eyes and inhaled her nose, stood up and took a sip with the spoon she used before, and tasted it, the fragrant soup entered her mouth, Chunqiu couldn't help swallowing it, it tasted good After that, I took another two sips.

Chunqiu looked at the tumbling fish soup in front of her. She remembered that there was a long coriander in the yard of their house. Thinking of this, Chunqiu's eyes lit up. Putting a little coriander in the fish soup would taste better. Just do it, Chunqiu put it down quickly With the spoon in their hands, they ran towards the backyard. The backyard of their Yang family was behind the main house, and it looked like about sixty percent of the land was vacant. In addition to planting some vegetables that their family usually ate, there were also some other things that Yang and Li's family didn't know. I don't know where to get it from, it is said to be delicious wild vegetables, among them is a long coriander, if she hadn't known this coriander in her previous life, she would still be in the yard of her house until now.

After finding coriander in the vegetable field in the backyard, I picked a handful, picked off the stems and leaves of the coriander, threw the remaining roots aside, and left with satisfaction.

Chunqiu came back just right, washed the coriander leaves in his hands, added them to the fish soup, and stirred them with a spoon before putting them down.

There were various dishes and chopsticks on the counter not far from the kitchen. Chunqiu found a black pot for soup from inside. She carefully wiped all the surroundings of the pot with a clean rag, and then slowly put the Carry the jar on the stove, open the filling mouth, and then use a big iron spoon to scoop the fish soup into the jar one by one, and then seal the jar.

Then I used the blue basket that Mrs. Yuan held yesterday to pick up enough yellow-faced steamed buns for Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Li, and then I called my second brother who was still in the study to accompany her to deliver the meals. The fish soup and the jar weighed about ten catties. She was only five years old, but she couldn't hold her.

"Second brother, I'm delivering food." Chunqiu stood at the door of Yang Chunming's study and called into the door.

Only hearing a tinkling sound from the study, the door opened from the inside, Chunqiu looked up, and it was her second brother standing at the door.

"Second brother, it's time for us to go." Chunqiu said with a smile on his face and a serious tone.

Yang Chunming looked down at his sister in front of him, smiled and said, "Okay, but isn't it really Qiu'er's prank to go out like your second brother?" Yang Chunming looked helplessly at the weird Sister, let him go out when he was disfigured. Didn't he secretly take a few candies from her before taking revenge?You know, he bought those candies.

When Chunqiu heard what the second brother said, she felt wronged in her heart, she, Yang Chunqiu, is such a stingy person!The second brother actually wronged her, which is unforgivable.

"That's not it, I just can't hold it," Chunqiu explained.She is just a small carrot head, and she really can't hold such a big jar.

Yang Chunming looked in front of his eyes and pouted his lips after finishing speaking, his face was full of unhappy sisters, so he knew that the child must be unhappy, so he bent down helplessly to be on par with Chunqiu, looked into Chunqiu's eyes and said "Go to Eldest Sister, Second Brother can't go out, next time Second Brother comes back to bring you sugar, okay?" Yang Chunming has no choice but to go out like this, Grandma will definitely trouble her parents, especially Grandma. Grandma also loves him very much, and usually gives him good things, but if he wants his younger sister to nod in agreement, Yang Chunming simply offers delicious food to lure him. If he doesn't believe that the other party will not be hooked, his little sister is a child who likes candy .

Sure enough, Chunqiu's eyes lit up immediately when he heard that there was a sugar man, and he looked at Yang Chunming in surprise, "Do you really want to buy it for me?" Why is her second brother so kind? By Yang Chunming.

Yang Chunming angrily reached out and patted Chunqiu on the head, and said, "Your second brother, when did I ever lie to you?" This little bastard, how can he look at him with distrustful eyes, and still don't believe him, it really hurts her for nothing up.

Chunni covered her forehead with wet eyes, as if you were bullying me, "Second brother, you are so bad" Chunqiu accused him with wide eyes, for even slapping her lovely sister so hard, even if she really bought it for her The sugar man is also dead, unforgivable, his forehead must be red and swollen.

"Does it really hurt? Second brother is wrong, okay, how about buying you two sugar figurines?"

Yang Chunming looked at Chunqiu who was about to cry, his complexion changed a little, he was worried that he was being cruel, so he quickly reached out and rubbed Chunqiu's small forehead, coaxing in a gentle tone.

When Chunqiu heard the two sugar figures from the other party, her heart was even more moved, but she didn't show it on her face, she still said bluntly, "I don't believe it, second brother can't lie to me, or you are a puppy." She still wanted to You can only believe it after your second brother promises.

Yang Chunming looked at his sister who was secretly watching him, and he was relieved, he was really afraid that he would be cruel. "I won't lie to you, the second brother keeps his word." Yang Chunming did what he said.

"Then...pull the hook" Chunqiu stretched out his hand and decided to make an agreement with Yang Chunming.

Yang Chunming looked helpless, and also stretched out his little finger to hook the opponent's finger, and the corner of his mouth slightly curled up to "pull the hook"

After the two hooked each other, Chunqiu returned to normal, and asked with a concerned face, "Second brother, is your face okay? I brought you an egg, just apply it on it." Chunqiu took out the freshly cooked The egg, reached out and put it in Yang Chunming's hand.

Yang Chunming stared blankly at the egg in his hand, there were some slight signs, like a drop of water dripping into his calm heart, and a feeling called moving surrounded him.

"Cough cough cough" Chunqiu looked at the moved second brother in front of him, quite at a loss, "I'm just worried about your disfigurement, don't think too much, I'm going to find my eldest sister," Chunqiu said stiffly, she It's not that she's worried about the second brother, she just doesn't want the beautiful boy's face to be disfigured.

What's more, her second brother wronged her just now, and she hasn't forgiven her second brother yet!

Yang Chunming looked at the stubborn sister, and grinned, "Second brother will definitely use it well."

"Don't laugh, it hurts so much." Chunqiu stared at the uneasy second brother in front of him, his face was obviously swollen, how could he still move around.

"Don't smile, don't laugh, listen to my sister." Yang Chunming immediately nodded with a straight face.

"Well, then I'm leaving." Chunqiu nodded in satisfaction, turned around and left.

"Go, be careful on the road," Yang Chunming said, and ran away as soon as he finished talking about Chunqiu. Yang Chunming had no choice but to close the door.I saw Chunqiu running back in a hurry, "What's the matter? Did you forget something?" "Second brother, there is fish soup left for you in the kitchen, go drink it later." After Chunqiu finished speaking, he ran away again.

Chunqiu, who ran out, would not think that the fish soup left for him was given to him because he felt sorry for Yang Chunming, it was because of his wound.

Yang Chunming looked at Chunqiu who ran out again, and closed the door with a smile, feeling warm in his heart.

Back in the study, Yang Chunming sat on the stool, put the egg in his hand on the table, stared at the word Chunming written with a brush on the desk in a daze, recalling what Yuan Shi said to him this morning, his hand Unconsciously, it turned out that my grandfather gave me this name when my mother was very young. The sun and the moon shine brightly, which means that he will become a bright and wise person, shining in all directions.From "Zuo Zhuan Zhao Gong 28 Years", it turned out that he was born with high expectations. Yang Chunming thought of the strict requirements of Yuan's family on himself when he was a child. It turns out that all the results have reasons. Yang Chunming laughed softly.
