Chapter 66 Return to the Countryside (63)
Everyone's stomach was growling with hunger, and with the delicious food right before their eyes, they ate as fast as they could to quench their thirst.
There’s actually not much meat you can eat when eating snails, what’s important is the feeling you get when you suck on it.
The rich and slightly spicy soup stimulates people's appetite.
Everyone eats it in the same way. Some of the more unconventional ones, like Mr. Guanghui, just eat the snails with their hands.
As for the ones in the middle, you just pick them up one by one and eat them with chopsticks.
The most elegant way is to rub it with a toothpick and twist it, and the meat will come out.
However, in order to eat snail meat, you have to use all methods at once.
Song Chuyi stuck out his tongue and took a sip of the spicy homemade sour plum soup. The icy cool sour plum soup passed through his throat and took away the lingering spiciness on his tongue.
"When eating this kind of meat-less food, it's better to eat it with a lot of people, so that it will be more delicious!"
She looked at the snails in the rice bowl, then looked at the snails on the dining table. There seemed to be not many left, so she quickly scooped another spoonful and put it in the rice bowl as a backup.
The dishes that people fight over are the most delicious.
The adults were scrambling to eat the food and eating it so happily, so naturally the children didn't want to be outdone.
He was already curious about these fragrant dishes, and as a little kid, he hadn't tried many of them yet.
He tugged at Wu Xi's clothes and blinked his big watery eyes.
"I want to eat."
She spoke to Wu Xi in a baby voice.
Wu Xi swallowed the snail meat in his mouth and turned to talk to Wu Suinian.
"It's very spicy. Children can't eat it."
Although Wen Chen’s dish is slightly spicy, it is probably a new experience for the taste buds of children who have never eaten spicy food.
"Put it in water and rinse it, and the spicy taste will be gone."
Looking at his uncle who obviously didn't want to give it, Wu Suinian quickly brought a glass of boiled water.
When he followed his uncle before, he saw those skinny sisters mixing the fried vegetables in plain water in order to lose weight.
The already scarce amount of oil is filtered out, resulting in a tasteless dish.
He is very smart and knows how to draw inferences from one example. By the same token, it applies to him eating snails.
The spicy taste flies away!
In order to eat, you have to do it yourself so that you can have enough food and clothing.
Seeing that the child had completed all the preparations before starting, Wu Xi couldn't refuse.
I peeled a snail for him, picked it up with a toothpick, and stirred it in boiled water.
I watched the originally greasy snail meat lose its glossiness in the clean water before I took it out to feed the children.
Looking at the child’s face after eating, I was afraid that he would not eat it cleanly and get spicy again.
Wu Suinian tilted his head and chewed the snail meat in his mouth slowly with his baby teeth, savoring it carefully.
"tasty?"
He said in a doubtful, baby voice, half certain and half unsure.
He thought it tasted strange, like plastic, and made a crunching sound when chewed. Maybe this was the taste of adults.
He didn't understand, but looked forward to accepting it.
"More."
He nodded and continued to speak to his uncle.
Wu Xi was helpless, but he could only continue feeding this little foodie.
Sautéing snails in hot water to make them more spicy is a feasible method, but not very practical.
The first few may have some effect, but after a few more, it is inevitable that some will slip through the net.
Wu Suinian's little face turned red from the spiciness, his mouth was rosy, and tears were welling up in his eyes.
"Is it yummy?"
Seeing how spicy he was, Wu Xi handed him a cup of iced sour plum soup to remove the spiciness and asked unhappily.
Wu Suinian drank the sour plum soup from the cup, sniffed, and said to Wu Xi.
“It’s delicious, I want more!”
His crisp, affirmative voice, with a nasal tone eroded by the chili pepper, and his insistence on eating it made Wu Xi feel a little amused.
He wiped the oil off his hands with a wet tissue and gently pulled Wu Suinian's little ear.
"What more? What more do you want?"
The child's eyes were particularly innocent, and he stepped back with his hands covering his little head.
"The snail meat is too spicy. We won't let you eat it today. Your last task today is to eat the rice in the bowl."
Seeing that the child was about to leave the dining area, he waved his hand and called the child back.
The child looked up at the bowl of snails, then lowered his head to take a mouthful of rice.
When he picked up a small piece of meat and chewed it for a few times, his eyes lit up again.
"I want some meat!"
Wu Xi raised his eyebrows. The child, who usually didn't like to eat fatty meat, was not picky about food today.
I picked up a few more pieces for him and watched him eat.
The chili used to stir-fry the pork belly is sweet chili, which is not very spicy, but instead enhances the taste of the meat.
The pork belly is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and is cooked properly, without any fishy smell of pork.
The seasoning is just right and it tastes better the more you eat it.
It’s a pity that Chef Wen Chen didn’t get to enjoy the dish for long. Just after he took a few bites with his chopsticks, he was glared at by his wife.
Wen Chen glanced at his wife's face, stepped on the edge of her explosion and picked up a few more slices, and finally gave up the attack on the pork belly.
He ate the rice in the bowl, looked at the pork belly that was slowly being eaten in the rice, and sighed.
It is best to save delicious and small dishes until the end to let their final aftertaste linger in your mouth.
After eating and drinking, everyone went out together to digest the food.
The people in the village all have the same daily routine. While taking a walk, you may bump into a few uncles and aunts from time to time.
Sometimes, there were a few children who were about the same age as Wu Sui.
"Sui Sui! Sui Sui!"
Mo Pangyan's body came running over from a distance like a cannonball.
He ignored all adults equally and only called the names of children and dogs.
"Shall we go catch the cicada shells?"
Mo Pangxiang did not come alone, he was accompanied by a large team.
They are all friends from Zhuangzi, as well as a few parents who are not very confident about their children.
Several parents greeted each other and watched their children playing with loving eyes.
The dark night is dotted with stars and the sound of cicadas continues.
Mo Pangqian grew up in Zhuangzi, and he dared to say that there was no place in Zhuangzi that he didn't know.
As the leader of the children, he waved his hand and several children swarmed towards the woods.
There are many trees planted on the farm, including a sweet-scented osmanthus forest. The fragrance of the sweet-scented osmanthus is sweet and charming in summer.
The closer you get to that place, the stronger the fragrance becomes.
"What a nice smell! What a nice smell~"
The children all spoke in unison, and the lively atmosphere startled the animals in the forest, causing them to run away.
Although Sui Sui is small, she is very alert. She could have heard the noise with her little ears, otherwise she would have been scared if Wu Xi hadn't been holding her.
I'm afraid that the force of moving forward will take Wu Suinian to an unknown place.
"Cut some off later, put some water in a vase, and put it in your home. It can be kept for a long time."
Mo Pangxiang said, judging from his attitude, it is clear that this is not the first time he has done this.
In order to find cicada shells, the children were basically equipped, each with a small flashlight and a small box to hold the cicada shells.
Each child had sharp eyes. Before the adults found it, the children had already found the cicada shell from all kinds of strange angles.
"here!"
"I found it!"
"Haha! Here comes another one!"
“It’s available here too!”
The voices of children rose and fell.
It was Wu Suinian’s first time looking for a tree and he had no experience at all. He looked at several trees in a row and all of them were bare.
I was completely confused, and when I heard the excited shouts of other children who had found their item, I stamped my feet in anxiety and didn't know where to start.
"Here here!"
Mo Pangxiang passed by and saw it. As the boss, he naturally wanted to help his little follower when he saw him in a hurry.
He pointed to a leaf on a nearby tree and said that to find this thing, one needs to be familiar with the habits of insects and have a sharp eye.
Behind the leaves was a bronze cicada shell. The lifelike insect shape made Wu Suinian a little at a loss as to where to start.
"It's okay, it's just the shell shed by the cicada. It has no life and won't move or bite."
Hearing what his friend said seemed to give Wu Suinian courage, and he picked it up carefully.
After the first step, things were not that difficult, and Wu Suinian caught a big handful in a short while.
He was pulled here by the children halfway, and he had not prepared anything to pack, so in the end, Wu Xi was the only one who suffered.
Wu Xi was wearing summer pants, which were more breathable and naturally thin.
Through the fabric of his clothes, he could clearly feel the outline of the cicada shell's limbs, which gave him a bit of a chill.
"What's the point of taking this cicada shell back?"
Wu Xi lifted the fabric on his trouser pockets and tried to avoid contact with them as much as possible to feel better.
Mo Hepu didn't know whether this was true or not, and he couldn't help but complain to Wu Xi.
"Don't understand how children think. Who hasn't picked up a stone or two and brought them home when they were little? At the time, they were treasures, but when you grow up, you realize they are just simple stones."
Speaking of this, Li Jing and Wen Chen next to them had something to say.
As for those who were present, except for the glorious old man, those who had children, they felt it deeply.
"When my child was young, he would pick up a snail from the sand in the community and bring it home as a treasure. But later, he forgot to put it away and it ended up in his trouser pocket. When he slept, it fell on his bed and became a pile of pieces."
Li Jing thought about the time when she washed his clothes and opened his trouser pockets and saw a bunch of unknown objects, and she became furious.
She could have accepted it if it was a dead snail shell, but the one that Wen Li picked up was a living one!
Just imagine being crushed into a sticky mass with fragments still attached, it's disgusting to look at.
She was not so good-tempered that she washed his pants for him. She immediately called Wen Li and washed his pants herself.
Thinking back, several people couldn't help but shake their heads. Children at this period are indeed the cutest and most naughty.
There is an old saying that goes, if a child is quiet, he must be up to something.
If you're not careful, you might end up with a mess to clean up.
However, children have all kinds of strange ideas, and the only thing adults can do is to protect children's safety as much as possible during this period.
Song Chuyi and You Qu were currently immersed in the osmanthus forest.
Each osmanthus tree is filled with long clusters of small, sweet, golden osmanthus flowers.
"This osmanthus flower is edible. You can pick some and bring them home to make tea or cakes."
Mo Hepu saw that they were staring at Osmanthus fragrans and said with a smile.
Their live broadcast room is not open 24 hours a day, sometimes it depends on the schedule of the day.
If you go to a crowded place, in order to protect the privacy of the residents, the video will be recorded and then blurred in post-production.
It also depends on the network signal of the day. If the signal suddenly freezes halfway through the live broadcast, it will also affect the viewing of netizens.
It was because of this that Mo Hepu was able to extricate himself from the crowd and come over to join in the fun with everyone.
During non-live broadcast periods, the only one who works hard is the cameraman.
The two foodies looked at each other after hearing what Mo Hepu said, and they understood what the other was thinking.
They have been working with their boss for a long time. If he says yes, then it must be yes, and they will do it.
If Osmanthus could speak, everyone would probably be trembling with fear at this moment.
After all, from the initial look of joy and appreciation to the ferocious look, it is a completely different feeling.
Not bringing anything to pack wasn't a big problem, because she was too embarrassed to borrow something due to her social phobia, but with Song Chuyi, a social leader, around, she felt very comfortable doing so.
As children, they always prepare a few more tools when they go out to pick cicada shells.
One child may not have it, so ask a few more.
It took less than ten minutes for me to go from coming with nothing to having bags and boxes full of everything.
She also gave Wu Xi a bag, which relieved Wu Xi from the habit of holding his trouser pockets.
Osmanthus flowers are very easy to pick. The smaller ones grow in clusters and you can pick a small handful at a time.
As for the larger osmanthus flowers, you just need to use a little force and follow the force of the branches, and a bunch of osmanthus flowers will fall into your hands.
Song Chuyi and You Qu were picking the fruits while whispering to each other.
"If osmanthus flowers are edible, then so are roses and jasmine flowers! The same goes for that. Ask them some other day! Then dry them and make tea!"
Although it was just a whisper, Song Chuyi's voice was quite loud. Mo Hepu heard it and glanced over.
He smiled but said nothing.
The weather afterwards was a headache, with continuous heavy rain that kept falling, as if the sky was pouring all the water down.
Fortunately, the waterproof system of the villa is well done, otherwise there would be water everywhere and we would be unable to move.
Song Chuyi and her friends picked osmanthus flowers and prepared them immediately after returning home that day. As the best cook in the family, Wen Chen is a well-deserved teacher.
Wash the picked osmanthus flowers with salt water, remove impurities and roots, and only leave the stamens in the front.
This is the most eye-straining and troublesome process.
Perhaps it was a sign of the coming rainy season. The air was filled with invisible water vapor, making it feel stuffy and extremely humid.
In this environment, it is probably not a good choice to dry the wet osmanthus flowers.
But luckily I have a microwave at home, so I can use it to dry it.
Cook over high heat for a few minutes, stir it for a few more minutes, and the dried osmanthus flowers will be ready.
This is the simplest. If you want to make tea or cakes, you can use this kind of dried osmanthus directly.
If you can’t finish it, just pack it in a box and put it in the refrigerator. It can be kept for a very long time.
If you don’t mind the trouble and want it to taste better, you can pickle it with sugar and make it into osmanthus honey.
Use a pot to melt the rock sugar and water, pour in the osmanthus and stir well. Finally, pour in a few spoonfuls of honey before serving, stir well and it is ready to serve.
The osmanthus honey made in this way is sweet and has the sweet aroma of osmanthus. It is so delicious.
With osmanthus honey, children can drink a few more glasses of water.
