Chapter 282 Lemon Dried Shreds
Aunt You pointed to the basins in the yard and said, "Not much today, just these. I watched him weigh them."
Wen Zhenyi remembered that he forgot to leave some money for Aunt You when he left: "Did you give him the money here?"
"I said I'd give it to him, but he said he'd pay me when he delivers it tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll go to town tomorrow when I'm free, and I'll send it to him then."
After Wen Zhenyi finished speaking, he went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. He took out some beef jerky, beat it with a mallet to soften it, and then put it on the charcoal fire to roast.
Ah Xiang watched her beat the beef jerky again before roasting it on the charcoal fire: "Master, what are you going to do?"
"It's easier to bake this way, and it's easier to handle later."
Ma Yinghe and the others helped wash the vegetables and put them on the table for her.
Wen Zhen started to deal with other things at first and asked A Xiang to help bake the beef jerky.
The beef jerky was almost baked, so she set it aside to cool, and then tore it into thin strips.
Add chili pepper, coriander, lemon juice, cilantro and garlic to the dried shrimps and mix well.
Wen Zhenyi specially steamed some glutinous rice for dinner today, which was a perfect match with the lemon shredded vegetables.
When Shen Hanxing came, she didn't see that she was mixing lemon shreds. The smell was a bit tempting: "What is this?"
"The beef jerky I made yesterday was delicious with rice."
During dinner, Wen Zhenyi asked everyone to wash their hands, and then he made a glutinous rice ball with his hands. He held the glutinous rice ball in one hand and picked up shredded lemon with chopsticks in the other.
"Hiss!" Wen Chengwen sucked his lips while eating.
"This tastes a bit spicy." Ma Yinghe said this, but her hands couldn't help but pick up some more dried shrimps.
The old man took a bite of dry shredded pork and a mouthful of glutinous rice and said, "You know what, this tastes really good."
Chen Hanxing's lemon shreds weren't that spicy, but she still ate them until beads of sweat formed on the tip of her nose. "It goes really well with rice."
"It's quite good with rice. It can be considered a good side dish. You can also eat it as a snack."
"Wouldn't it be spicy if I ate it as a snack?"
"It's actually not bad. It can also be used as a snack."
"It's a good snack, very chewy."
Wen Zhenyi even brought some roasted beef jerky to Shen Hanxing: “Try this.”
Shen Hanxing reached out and took a piece of beef jerky, looking at it carefully: "Is this how you eat it?"
"Yeah, just eat it like this."
Chen Hanxing put it in his mouth and took a bite, chewing slowly. The taste of beef jerky spread in his mouth, and it became more and more fragrant and chewy as he ate more.
"It's really delicious. I can't stop eating it. It's not that spicy."
Old Man Wen looked at him and said this, looking at Wen Zhenyi eagerly: "Yi Yi, I want to try it too."
Wen Zhenyi handed him one as well: "It's pretty good to eat as a snack."
Old Man Wen took a bite and chewed it carefully for a while: "Delicious."
The others also got a portion. They didn’t feel anything at first, but after they finished eating, they realized that the whole bowl of beef jerky had been eaten by them.
Wen Chengwen's nose was still lingering with the aroma of beef jerky: "This stuff is so addictive."
Ma Yinghe also felt a little unsatisfied: "That's right."
It wasn't Wen Zhenyi's turn to clean up the dishes, so she simply sent Chen Hanxing back and used it as a way to digest her food.
Shen Hanxing turned to look at her: "Is this what you prepared for me to eat before entering the examination room?"
"Beef jerky can satisfy your hunger when you're hungry, but we'll also prepare other things for you."
"I'm looking forward to it." He looked at the ripe rice fields on both sides of the road. "Other people don't eat or sleep well when they go on scientific expeditions, but it seems like the only problem for me is sleeping."
"If possible, I hope you can sleep better."
Chen Hanxing's eyes turned slightly: "Do you want me to continue the scientific examination?"
Wen Zhenyi was stunned by what he said and turned to look at him: "It doesn't matter. If you are willing to continue to participate in the scientific examination, then continue. If you don't want to, it doesn't matter either."
"Will you be disgusted if I don't pass the exam?"
"I don't dislike you now either." Wen Zhen smiled indifferently when he saw her.
Shen Hanxing chuckled and said nothing more.
The two of them walked side by side on the village road. Occasionally, when they met villagers who came out to cool off, they would greet them with a smile.
Wen Zhenyi sent him to the door of his house: "Go to bed early."
"Would you like to come in and have a drink of water?"
"No, I have to go to Dongshan Village early tomorrow morning, so I may not be able to make it back by noon."
"My appetite is not as bad as before, don't worry."
Wen Zhenyi smiled and said, "He should be back in the afternoon."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
Wen Zhenyi turned around and walked towards home, meeting many villagers on the way.
"Shinichi."
When Wen Zhenyi heard someone calling him, he turned his head and looked to the side.
Grandma Zhou was sitting under a big tree in the village and waving at her.
She walked over to Grandma Zhou and said, "Grandma Zhou, are you calling me for something?"
Grandma Zhou pushed the grandma next to her and said, "Sit over a little, let Zhenyi sit down."
The person next to me actually sat next to me.
Wen Zhenyi was not in a hurry to go back, so he sat next to Grandma Zhou: "Grandma Zhou, do you have something to tell me?"
Grandma Zhou's son now works at her pig farm and is in a much happier mood: "It's because we raise a lot of chickens and ducks for preserved eggs and duck eggs."
"Well, what's the problem?"
"These chickens and ducks lay a lot of eggs in the first year, but the egg production will decrease in the second year, so they need to be sold. Do you have any ideas on how to deal with so many chickens and ducks?"
The people around her also pricked up their ears and moved closer to her, wanting to hear what she had to say.
"So that's what it is!"
"That's exactly what happened. We're worried that there will be too much to sell, and our family won't be able to eat it."
"That's easy, just leave it to me when the time comes."
When the surrounding villagers heard this, they shouted happily: "You really want them all?"
"Really? But you have to give me some time. After all, it's impossible to sell all these chickens and ducks at once."
"We are not in a hurry, as long as we can sell it."
"Okay, I'll collect them in batches when the time comes."
When Grandma Zhou heard her say this, the heavy stone in her heart fell again: "Zhenyi, what you said before about catching earthworms to feed chickens and ducks, will it really work?"
"You'll know once you try it."
"We just raised them, and we're worried we won't be able to take good care of them."
"Everything has a first time, and there are successes and failures. I've already told you everything I can. As for the rest, it's up to you. If you take good care of it, it will naturally lay a lot of eggs."
Grandma Zhou whispered, "Zhenyi, can all these things be turned into delicious food?"
"There are a lot of delicious things. Even if the chickens and ducks you raise don't lay eggs anymore, you can still make other things."
