Accidentally Born in the ‘60s: (Catch bugs)
Originally, all three ducks, Zhen Zhen, were going to be roasted. One was given to Xi Junjie and the other was shared with the family. The other one was brought to school to invite roommates to eat together. Now that Xi Junjie's family is here, there is no need to bake so much.
Zhen Zhen took advantage of the absence of Mingxi and Mingbei, and replaced the two roast duck blanks that had been pre-treated and dried in the space, and put them directly into the oven, while the remaining one was Made a nourishing duck soup.
As for the big rooster that I bought, Zhen Zhen used the hazel mushrooms and vermicelli from her hometown to make chicken stewed with mushrooms. She had everything in the fresh vegetable garden. Xie Yanan and Wang Xinwen helped to wash them all.
Zhen Zhen walked around the kitchen and saw the carp that she caught yesterday in the pot. The flesh of carp is ordinary and has many spines. Although it is large, it is not delicious. Zhen Zhen asked her two sisters-in-law to help watch the duck soup and chickens simmering in the pot, while she ran into the garden with her net bag and fishing rod.
Xi Junjie ran hurriedly behind Ming Bei, Zhen Zhen laughed when she saw him: "You came out too?"
"Yes." Xi Junjie remembered the expressions of the two adults just now, and looked at Zhen Zhen apologetically: "It seems to have caused you trouble."
"What's the trouble with this." Zhen Zhen laughed dumbly: "It's just going out for a run and practicing French together. This is a normal interaction between classmates."
Hearing Zhen Zhen say this, Xi Junjie was somewhat disappointed, but this emotion was quickly replaced by the joy of not causing trouble for Zhen Zhen, he looked at Zhen Zhen with tenderness in his eyes: "As long as you are all right Just fine."
Zhen Zhen looked at Xi Junjie with a smile, and shook the net pocket in her hand: "I'm finally going to make a shrimp dish. Would you like to fish it out of the pool with me."
"Okay." Xi Junjie smiled immediately, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the net bag and fishing rod from Zhen Zhen's hand, and followed Zhen Zhen to the garden while laughing: "Are there a lot of fish and shrimp in your pond? ?"
"It's ok, there are quite a few species." Zhen Zhen recalled Li Muwu's fishing skills in the lake outside where he couldn't catch a single fish for several days, and said with a little teasing: "I think if my dad was at home If you fish in the pond, maybe you can catch more.”
Xi Junjie remembered that his father let him fish to save face yesterday, and suddenly said with lingering fear: "My father also asked me to practice fishing well, and strive to surpass you one day as soon as possible."
Zhen Zhen blinked at Xi Junjie: "I don't think this is easy to handle."
Xi Junjie was attracted by Zhen Zhen's lively expression, he was stunned for a while, carrying the fishing rod and almost tripped his left foot over his right foot, seeing Xi Junjie's blushing face, Zhen Zhen immediately turned her head and pretended not to look at it The way it arrives
The two came to the garden one after the other, and Xi Junjie was immediately attracted by the vitality of the place. There was only a narrow stone-brick path in the garden, and the green grass around seemed to be half-pruned, but it was short and lush. Even through the shoes, you could feel its softness, as if it was half a blanket.
The garden is divided into two parts by a pond. On one side, there are clusters of flowers blooming. There are more than a dozen varieties of flowers in different corners. Not only is there no sense of clutter, but it is like fire. On the other side, in the vegetable garden managed by Mrs. Li and Wang Sufen, there are strings of red persimmons, green cucumbers, rows of fresh vegetables, purple eggplants and water. The tender corn seemed more alive than the other side.
Row of hens swayed and pecking on the grass to eat. In order to prevent the chicken coop from destroying the beauty of the garden, a wooden hut was built on the edge of the garden, which is quite similar to the house where the elves lived in European mythology.
Xi Junjie looked at the thriving scene in the garden and couldn't help but praise: "Your garden is really unique."
"Some people say it's too chaotic." Zhen Zhen smiled indifferently: "But there is nothing that can be wasted." Zhen Zhen pointed to the flower bush: "Most of the flowers are It can be practical, you can make flower cakes or flower sauce." He pointed to the rows of orchids with different postures: "Although these are not edible, they have other values."
Xi Junjie smiled clearly: "Orchid has been a symbol of noble character since ancient times, and many people like it."
Go to a small pavilion in the middle of the pond with a bucket and a small box of fish food, it seems that people are often fishing here. Zhen Zhen took the fishing rod from Xi Junjie, put on some specially adjusted bait, and quickly caught seven or eight crucian carp that were slightly longer than a man's palm
Xi Junjie was stunned watching from the side, recalling the torment of no fish biting the hook for half a day yesterday, he was a little suspicious of life: "Is this fish so easy to catch?"
Zhen Zhen handed him the newly baited fishing rod: "You can go fishing."
Nowadays Zhen Zhen doesn't need powers for fishing, but because of her natural constitution, she is easier than others whether she is fishing or catching shrimp.
Seeing Xi Junjie sitting on the small round stool nervously staring at the fishing rod, Zhen Zhen smiled and shook her head and put the shrimp net in. After about ten minutes, the originally motionless fishing rope suddenly trembled. There were some ripples on the water surface as well. Xi Junjie immediately raised the fishing rod impatiently. As soon as he lifted a fish out of the water, he saw that the fish struggled hard and broke off the hook and fell into the water.
Xi Junjie couldn't hide his disappointment and sighed, Zhen Zhen smiled and shook his head: "You are too impatient." She handed the fish food box to Xi Junjie, starting from what fish like to eat, Tell him the main points of fishing in detail.
In the room, Li Muwu was speechless by Xi Changbo, almost suffocating to death. Li Muwu and Xi Changbo usually bicker, but their eloquence is very different. Xi Changbo has been a diplomat for many years, and even ten Li Muwu can't say one Xi Changbo. Basically, if Li Muwu wanted to win Xi Changbo, he had to show off his daughter. As a result, he didn't show off his daughter today and was blocked back. He was so angry that he didn't want to pay any attention to him.
Mr. Li looked at Li Muwu's pitiful appearance, and immediately patted him angrily and funny: "How old are you, you are really angry, I look at the two children and it's fine, let them go with the flow Naturally."
Mrs. Li smiled and apologized to Xi Changbo and Ling Xiulan: "He just can't bear his daughter, so don't take it seriously."
Ling Xiulan covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Auntie, look at what you said, who in our family is with whom? Besides, if I have such a beautiful girl, I'll definitely be the same as Big Brother Li, I can't wait to be called the world's The boys are far away."
Mr. Li smiled and then sighed deeply: "To tell you the truth, Zhen Zhen was raised like a baby in our family when she was a child. Our family has been a boy for several generations. I just wanted a daughter, but it took a long time for me to have four sons. By the time of Zhen Zhen's generation, I have a total of eleven grandchildren, and she is the only granddaughter. Do you think I can not love her?"
Ling Xiulan immediately nodded in agreement: "I also wanted a girl back then, raised her with pampering, and dressed her up like a princess. Who knows when I gave birth to Junjie, I have never had a body. I can fulfill this thought. For so many years, I have been thinking, when Junjie returns to marry a beautiful girl, I will definitely treat her like a princess."
Mr. Li smiled: "Now we can't talk about it, we have to listen to the children." After taking a sip of water, Mrs. Li stood up: "The sun is shining today, let's not be bored in the room. Now, let's go and see my vegetable garden, we can pick whatever we want, all of them are fresh and fresh."
This season is when the sun is warm and not too cold. The outside is much more comfortable than the inside. Several people along the promenade entered the gate of the garden. When Ling Xiulan saw all kinds of flowers, her eyes lit up and she was about to leave. Going in to take a look, I heard a string of crisp laughter.
Following the sound, everyone looked towards the middle of the pond, only to see Xi Junjie fishing with a fishing rod, Zhen Zhen half bent over and standing beside him, one hand resting on Xi Junjie's shoulder, one finger pointing into the water as if what are you talking about. Even though it was a little far away, everyone could imagine the high spirits on her face just from Zhen Zhen's smile.
Xi Junjie looked sideways at Zhen Zhen, with a warm smile on his face, when Zhen Zhen looked back and saw him staring at her, he slapped him on the shoulder: "If you look at me again, The hook was eaten."
Xi Junjie came back to his senses, hurriedly retrieving the fishing rod, a **** fish weighing three or four catties jumped out of the water along the fishing line, Xi Changbo saw it from a distance, and was excited. Pat Li Muwu's arm: "See, my son can also fish."
Li Muwu snorted coldly: "If my daughter wasn't there to teach him, you thought he could catch him."
Xi Changbo smiled: "So my son has good eyesight."
Zhen Zhen's five senses are inherently more sensitive than ordinary people, not to mention consciously observing the surroundings at any time, seeing Mrs. Li coming over, she naturally took her hand off Xi Junjie's shoulder and waved at Mrs. Li: "Milk, you see we caught a lot of fish again."
Xi Changbo came over and watched the two people adjust a bucket full of fish. His hands were itchy, and he grabbed the fishing rod from Xi Junjie's hand and challenged Li Muwu: "There are few fish outside, we are in this pond. How about a fishing tournament?"
Li Muwu grabbed the fishing rod and sat on the round bench with a piece of fish food: "This is the only fishing rod in my family. I want to go home to get the fishing rod from the competition."
"Hey, be careful." Xi Changbo stretched out his hand and asked Ling Xiulan for the key, and while running out quickly, he didn't forget to provoke: "I'll give you ten minutes first, so you can fish slowly first." /
Zhen Zhen saw that the two fathers were going to fight again, so she immediately carried a bucket full of fish and was about to go away. .
Don't look at that bucket of fish that weighs about ten pounds, but Zhen Zhen is like playing with it, Xi Junjie called out to Zhen Zhen after chasing after the moon gate in the garden, he stepped forward and held the bucket The handle is only one centimeter away from Zhen Zhen's white palm.
Zhen Zhen looked down at his big hands and raised her head with a smile: "Actually, it's not heavy at all."
Xi Junjie smiled and shook his head, with a bit of helplessness in his tone: "Li Mingzhen, don't you want to give me a chance to express?"
