Wuluolan must have gone to Furong City in vain, so is she still in Furong City? Has she waited for Yilale?
"I have to find Mo Ming and ask him the reason. You just said they live in Liquanfang?"
Lou Yunchun shook his head. "Monks who offer sutras don't live in Liquanfang, but stay at Daci'en Temple in Jinchangfang."
"Then I'll go to Da Ci'en Temple to find him tomorrow."
"I'm with you."
Xu Jiang smiled and replied, "Okay."
Lou Yunchun finally finished sawing the wood. He compared it with the points Cao Shu had determined, and found the dimensions were correct. He then took out Cao Shu's sketch, marked the positions of the mortise and tenon joints, and began drilling holes.
Xu Jiang wanted to help, but was rejected by him, so she had to stand by and help him pass the tools.
Soon, her stomach growled. She hadn't eaten anything since last night, so she was inevitably hungry. Lou Yunchun had arrived early in the morning and had been working for most of the day, so he must have been hungry too.
"I'm going to cook. Is there anything you want to eat?"
"It's all right."
Xu Jiang thought for a moment and said, "Then let's make bamboo shoots and bacon stewed with rice."
In the past, when traveling during the bamboo shoot season, after a long journey, a bowl of fresh and fragrant bamboo shoot stewed rice would be enough to sustain us for three days and three nights.
"good."
Having made up her mind, Xu Jiang strolled towards the kitchen.
There was a fire in the stove and tea was heating on the furnace. Xu Jiang cut off a piece of bacon that Zeng Zhui had made, and used the fire to burn the skin. When the skin was charred black and no hair was visible, she put it into boiling water to soak.
At this time of year, the winter bamboo shoots are old and the spring bamboo shoots have not yet emerged. The only things that can be used are dried bamboo shoots. Dried bamboo shoots cannot be fried directly but need to be soaked in hot water.
While the dried bamboo shoots and bacon were soaking, Xu Jiang made a pot of Eagle tea with boiling water, and then poured a bowl for Lou Yunchun.
Lou Yunchun's hands were covered with sawdust and dust, making it difficult for him to take the bowl. He just stared at Xu Jiang eagerly.
Xu Jiang quickly fed the tea to his mouth and reminded him, "It's a little hot, drink slowly."
After saying that, she blew on him again, and this time she blew herself into his mouth.
The tea bowl in his hand shook and almost fell over. Xu Jiang quickly poured the tea into Lou Yunchun's mouth, then ran away in shame.
The tea was scalding hot, and Lou Yunchun's lips turned red from the burns, but he enjoyed it.
Xu Jiang drained the half-cooked rice and set it aside. The rice soup would be used later as a side dish. Then she scraped off the dark skin of the soaked bacon, revealing the golden flesh. She then cut it into pieces, revealing the red and white inside, a truly tempting sight.
She cut the bacon and soaked bamboo shoots into cubes, chopped the green onion, ginger and garlic, and scooped two spoonfuls of soybeans, then put the pan on the stove and started stir-frying.
First, add a little cooking oil, add the diced meat and stir-fry until the fat is released, then add the beans, ginger, and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the diced bamboo shoots and stir-fry. Don't stir-fry the diced meat too dry, wait until it shrinks two or three points, then cover the dish with half-cooked rice, add water to seal the pot, and simmer over low heat.
Simmer until the water dries up and the food is cooked, then stir-fry evenly, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and serve.
Dried bamboo shoots are more fragrant than fresh ones, mixed with the greasy aroma of bacon. Before they were even taken out of the pot, Xu Jiang's stomach was already full of them, making him so restless that he almost wanted to dump the pot down with him.
She took out two large bowls, filled one for herself and one for Lou Yunchun, and poured two bowls of rice soup. She asked Lou Yunchun to set up a chopping board, and the two of them ate under the eaves.
There were scattered wood all over the ground, a simple wooden board, and under the green tile eaves, the two of them drank half a bowl of bamboo shoot and bacon stewed rice with thick rice soup, and then sighed with satisfaction.
It smells so good.
