"I forgot..."
After Han Cheng finally made the confused child bride understand what he was asking, he looked at Bai Xue with hope.
Then, under Han Cheng's extremely hopeful gaze, Sister Bai Xue was stunned for a moment and then said this weakly.
After hearing these words and looking at Bai Xuemei's confused and innocent expression, Han Cheng suddenly felt like losing his balance and wanted to fall down and sigh.
"It's written on the paper in the room!"
After a moment, Sister Bai Xue seemed very excited as she remembered something and spoke out loud.
After she said this, Han Cheng suddenly remembered that he had seen Bai Xue drawing something on a notebook in the room before, but he didn't expect that it was actually recording his aunt's time.
After saying this, Sister Bai Xue ran towards the house, wanting to get the notebook to Brother Cheng as soon as possible.
Before Han Cheng could utter a word, Bai Xuemei had already run into the house.
Han Cheng, with his mouth half open, looked at this scene and couldn't help but frowning.
I know you are in good health and I know you are a primitive man, but even if you are in good health, you can't be so excessive, right?
"Brother Cheng, give it to me!"
While he was stunned, Sister Bai Xue had already run out at the same speed, holding a stack of paper connected with needle and thread, and presented it to Han Cheng like a treasure.
Han Cheng sniffed, resisted the urge to knock this guy on the head twice more, reached out to take the simple notebook, opened it, and carefully read what was written on it.
February 20th.
It is now April 15th, and it has been almost two months since the last time I came here!
Han Cheng calculated the time and confirmed that it was correct. In his excitement, he closed the notebook, put his arms around Bai Xuemei, and said excitedly in her ear: "We are going to have a baby again! We are going to have a second child!"
Bai Xuemei, who was originally confused by Han Cheng's abnormal behavior today, was stunned again when she heard the news Han Cheng said.
After a long while, he placed his hand on his flat stomach with a look of surprise and uncertainty, and asked, "Really?"
"real!"
Han Cheng nodded vigorously.
After saying this, Han Cheng couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Second child, I am also going to have a second child now, how can I not be happy? !
"Walk more steadily next time, and don't run away like you do now!"
After being happy, Han Cheng spoke to Bai Xuemei and gave her some instructions, and Bai Xuemei nodded vigorously.
"Don't feed the silkworms, let them do it."
Han Cheng continued.
Sister Bai Xue was about to nod, but then she reacted and started shaking her head like a little rattle.
"Brother Cheng, the silkworms are about to start spinning silk..."
Sister Bai Xue hugged Han Cheng's arm and spoke, her face full of pleading.
Han Cheng understood what Bai Xuemei meant. The silkworms had shed their skin three times and were about to start spinning silk. This time of year was the most critical moment.
But it was precisely because of this that Han Cheng didn't want Bai Xuemei to interfere in the silkworm affairs anymore.
Because this is not only the most critical moment, but also the busiest moment.
At this time, the amount of food eaten by the silkworms is astonishingly large, and people need to keep feeding them mulberry leaves and cleaning the silkworm feces, even at night.
"Then you can't do much but just stand there and watch and tell them not to get up at night."
After thinking about it, Han Cheng relaxed the conditions.
You do need to be a little careful after you get pregnant, but you can't be too pampered.
Being too pampered will have the opposite effect.
Hearing Han Cheng say this, Bai Xuemei suddenly became happy...
After learning that Bai Xue was pregnant again, Han Cheng was in a particularly good mood. He carried the fish cage, took Fu Jiang and Little Pea, and walked towards the river.
He wanted to catch some fish and make some delicious food for Sister Bai Xue.
Putting some baits such as grasshoppers into the fish cages, Han Cheng placed several fish cages in the water. After tying the ropes to the tree sticks on the shore, he squatted here for a while, then got up and left.
They have to leave. With Little Pea, Tuan Tuan, and Fu around, the fish in the water don't dare to come to the fish cage.
After leaving the river bank, Han Cheng led the large and small teams back while thinking about food.
It seemed a little insufficient to only make one pickled fish in the evening, so Han Cheng wanted to come up with another one.
After walking forward for a while, I turned my head and saw a few apricot trees not far away.
Many green apricots the size of pigeon eggs are hidden among the apricot leaves.
Seeing these green apricots and recalling how Bai Xuejie chewed on them not long ago, Han Cheng couldn't help but drool again.
No wonder the married woman Cao would use the trick of quenching thirst by looking at a plum to fool people, this trick is really effective.
Han Cheng was complaining about Cao Gong in his mind when an idea suddenly flashed in his mind and an idea for a dish emerged.
Green apricot, bamboo shoot and pork soup?
This is a dark dish, but thinking of how Bai Xue likes to eat green apricots today, Han Cheng decided to make such a soup.
After all, compared with the dark dishes in some universities in later generations, such as fried tomatoes with mooncakes and fried grapes with corn, my green apricot, bamboo shoot and pork soup seems much more serious.
I just used the green apricots as vinegar. The chefs who cook those dark dishes in the universities of the future are the truly excellent ones. They can stir-fry all the most unexpected things together...
Han Cheng did it right away. He reached out and grabbed the branch of an apricot tree and started picking the green apricots on it.
These apricot trees and some other fruit trees were planted slowly after the tribe was built. The trees have not yet fully grown, so if you want to pick the fruits on them, you don’t need to climb the trees. You can just stand on tiptoe and pull down some branches.
"Dad, Dad, eat, eat..."
Little Pea inherited the excellent eating genes of Han Cheng and Bai Xuemei. When she saw Han Cheng picking green apricots, she stood on tiptoe, raised her head, stretched out her hands, and drooled over the apricots.
"This is not tasty, it's too sour."
Han Cheng spoke to Wandou, and picked up a green apricot and put it to his mouth, pretending to take a bite. While chewing, he pretended to grimace in pain because of the sour taste.
Little Pea was stunned by his father's exaggerated acting. After a while, he stammered twice and continued to stretch out his hand: "Dad, I want to eat, I want to eat."
With a look of wanting to make trouble.
Han Cheng looked at the green apricot in his hand, then looked at Little Pea, who was drooling with greed and wanted to make trouble because he couldn't eat the green apricot. After thinking for a while, he reached out and wiped a green apricot on his clothes, then handed it to Little Pea.
This is what you wanted to eat, so you can't blame your father for cheating you.
Looking at the little pea who stretched out his hand and took the green apricot from his hand with excitement, Han Cheng muttered something silently in his heart, then narrowed his eyes, somewhat reluctant to watch what was going to happen next.
Little Pea was delighted when he got the green apricots and couldn't wait to put them in his mouth.
After bringing it to his mouth, he took a bite without any hesitation.
Han Cheng, who was squinting his eyes, saw it clearly. After taking a bite of the green apricot, Little Pea was dazed for a moment, as if he was motionless.
After a moment, the dazed Little Pea's eyes suddenly widened and then closed tightly. He shuddered and stomped his feet on the spot in pain.
While stomping his feet, his hands were waving constantly, and the whole person instantly started dancing mode.
Han Cheng, who knew the taste of the original green apricots well, shuddered when he saw Little Pea's appearance.
After jumping around for a while, Little Pea finally calmed down.
Looking down at the green apricot with a bite taken out of it in his hand, and then at the unscrupulous father squatting in front of him and swallowing his saliva, Little Pea's eyes were filled with tears.
This is not a feeling of grievance, but a feeling of being jealous of the father's full love.
Just when Han Cheng thought that the little guy would throw away the green apricots that made him so sour and start making trouble, Little Pea was surprisingly calm.
The guy blinked his tearful eyes, stood there for a while, and suddenly handed the green apricot he had taken a bite of to the panda Tuan Tuan who was standing beside him and looked very greedy.
Tuan Tuan is also a foodie, otherwise, with such strength, he would not have chosen to accept the temptation from Little Pea and others just for some food rather than leave the Green Bird tribe and return to the embrace of nature.
Tuan Tuan often took food from Little Pea's hand, so when Little Pea just put his hand in front of its face, this guy couldn't wait to open his mouth and eat the green apricot.
Then……
This guy's reaction was similar to that of Little Pea. After eating for a while with his mouth smacking, he suddenly froze in place as if he was under a spell.
After a while, Tuan Tuan, who had stopped barking easily as he grew older, suddenly howled and turned around and ran away.
After running a short distance, it lay down on the ground, rolling around on the ground, and using its two front paws to reach into its mouth.
The lucky general who had been sticking his head out to the side, wanting to get a piece of the pie, when he saw Tuantuan's look, all his hair stood up, and he used all four hooves to rush out from here.
距离这里十多米远才算是停下,站在那样看看小豌豆,再看看捂着嘴巴在地上滚来滚去的团团,觉得这里还不够安全,遂夹着尾巴一路小跑着去了鹿圈。
来到鹿圈之后,伸出一个脑袋来,在那里远远的往这边张望,这实在是太吓狗了……
不远处扯着衣角兜着青杏,亲眼目睹了整个过程的韩成,嘴巴张的有些大。
看看站在那里咧着嘴,还没有从酸劲中彻底缓过来的小豌豆,再看看两只前爪抱着嘴,如同一个球一样,在地上滚来滚去的团团,韩成觉得自己有些头晕。
这个还穿着开裆裤的小子,现在就这样的捣蛋,以后长大这还得了?
一点都没有觉察到这是上梁不正下梁歪的韩成,看着自己的儿子,这样感慨着……
兜着青杏回到部落,韩成拎着一个小筐和一把青铜镢头去挖笋。
鱼笼捕鱼现在已经达不到之前的那种高效率了,需要多等上一些时候才成。
这段时间刚好可以去挖一些笋子出来。
被小豌豆喂着吃了一个青杏,酸的在地上满地打滚的团团生气了,不再去如同以往那样,没事就往小豌豆身边凑,而是远远的趴在一块石头上,将四肢摊开,一副失去了所有梦想的样子。
不过,当远远的看到小豌豆正在那里拿韩成刨出来的笋子之后,失去梦想的团团,顿时就又变得精神百倍了起来。
它扭着肥嘟嘟的屁股,一路朝着韩成还有小豌豆所在的地方而去。
走到身边之后,瞪着黑眼圈十分严重的眼睛,眼巴巴的看着小豌豆,见小豌豆将手里的竹笋递给它之后,这家伙立刻一把抱住,一屁股蹲坐在地上,开始啃了起来,吃的非常香甜。
等到韩成拎着刨好的笋子,带着小豌豆朝着部落走去的时候,已经啃了两根竹笋的团团,早已经忘记了小豌豆喂它吃青杏的事情了。
回到部落,将竹笋一根根的剥皮,用铜刀切片之后,韩成将其放在一个陶罐里添水浸泡上,然后去河边收鱼笼……
韩成解开拴在岸边石头上的绳子,而后开始用手拉着绳子往岸边拉。
随着鱼笼距离岸边越来越近,一股震颤的感觉也随着绳子一起传递了过来,这是鱼笼里面的鱼在跳动。
这样的时候最是令人心动。
韩成小心的拉着绳子,将鱼笼拉到岸边,然后用力一提,鱼笼就从水里面出来了。
随着鱼笼里面的水,哗啦啦的往河水里流,透过鱼笼的缝隙,能够看到里面有鱼在不停的胡乱蹦跶。
“鱼!鱼!”
一旁的小豌豆指着活蹦乱跳的鱼,高兴的直拍手。
小河里的鱼虽然没有以前多了,不过接连七八个鱼笼下去之后,收获还是不少的。
大鱼留下,小鱼以及肚子里看起来有鱼籽的鱼,都放到盆子里然后丢进部落边上、已经存在了不少水的鱼塘之内。
做完这些,韩成拎着穿成一串的鱼笼和鱼,领着小豌豆以及被两根笋子哄好的熊猫团团一起回部落。
回去之后,拿着一柄铜刀熟练的去鳞、去内脏,扣除鱼鳃。
接下来就到了韩成展现自己的刀工的时候了。
被选为做酸菜鱼的鱼,是一种身子两侧各有一条黑线的鱼,韩成给它取了一个名字叫黑条。
跟后世的黑鱼看上去有很大的不同,不过肉质却是比黑鱼还要好。
毕竟后世的时候,吃的鱼大多都是鱼塘里面养的,偶然去江岔子里去捉一点野生的,吃起来还有着一股子机油味,还不如塘里面养的味道好。
把黑条鱼处理好以后,韩成叮嘱了小豌豆不要他乱动,自己则拿着铜刀来到外面,蹲在磨石前,从瓦盆里面撩水把磨刀石弄湿以后,双手拿拿着铜刀在上面一前一后,一推一拉的开始磨刀。
跟钢打造的菜刀有很大的不同,铜刀非常容易钝。
等一下他还要将黑条鱼切片,不把铜刀磨锋利一些可不成。
磨了一阵儿以后,韩成用手指轻轻的试了试刀锋,觉得可以了,就拿清水把铜刀好好的冲洗了一下,转身回到了厨房。
片鱼绝对是一个技术活,韩成虽然是个吃货,并且还是那种喜欢没事了自己弄点东西吃的吃货,但终究不是正经的科班出身,没有去新东方学过用英语控制挖掘机学习炒菜,所以这片鱼对于他来说还是有些难度的。
一个弄不好就容易把鱼刺弄断,不过终究还是能够弄出来的。
虽然鱼片里面的断刺多了一个,品相差了一些,厚薄不均匀了点,大小不一了点……但如果把这些都给刨除,这鱼片看起来还是很不错的。
韩成片鱼片了好久,这才算是停手。
这一方面是因为韩成的刀功不过关,另外一方面则是因为片的鱼实在有些多,足足弄了将近一陶盆子。
没有办法,部落里的吃货太多了,虽然这些酸菜鱼主要是给怀了二胎的白雪妹做的,但只要一做出来就必定会有一大群无良的吃货在一旁眼巴巴的看着,那场景实在是让人有些不忍心。
你能想象的到一群体格强悍的大老爷们外加一些同样彪悍的女人以及一些孩子们,不时就偷偷的看正在吃着东西的你一眼,然后狂咽口水的样子吗?
自从经历了几次这样的事情之后,再弄新花样改善生活了,韩成都是秉承着能多做就尽量多做一点的原则。
虽然依旧不可能让所有的人都吃到,不过多少还是能让一些人解解馋。
片过的鱼片韩成稍微的放入了一些盐沫以及一些果酒搅拌之后开始腌制。
做完这些,想了想找来三四个鸡蛋,敲开之后把蛋黄和蛋清分开,蛋清倒入鱼片之后进行翻搅,和料酒这些一起腌制。
鱼片加入蛋清,等会儿下锅鱼片就会变得非常的嫩。
处理好鱼片,韩成转身来到山洞。
走进山洞里顿时就感受到一阵阴凉扑面而来,眼睛适应了光线以后,韩成朝着洞穴的一角径直过去。
这里放着一些被密封起来的陶罐,这是去年深秋,将个头大了不少的大白菜收获之后,韩成亲自动手腌制的酸白菜。
还在改良期的白菜,洗净晾干,再晒的比较蔫以后,就一颗颗密密的摆放在陶缸里,一层白菜撒上一层盐排列上去,最上面用一块四五十斤的花岗岩紧紧的压住,并封闭严实,两三天以后开始看情况往里面加入一些水,慢慢的泡着,大约过上一个半月就能好了。
当然,这事情说起来容易,做起来可就难了,韩成腌烂了好几缸之后,才算是慢慢的掌握住腌制的技巧。
味道比不上后世极为出名的老坛酸菜,但用来做酸菜鱼还是足够了。
韩成从酸菜缸里面捞出了六颗酸白菜,稍微的沥水以后,把酸菜缸密封好,转身朝着外面走去。
走出洞穴顿时就感觉到了一些温暖,身上的一些寒冷都被驱散了走了。
到了天气暖和的时候,不容易被太阳晒透的洞穴气温要比外面低上不少,显得阴凉,用来存放酸菜之类的腌菜刚刚好。
拿出来的酸菜用铜刀切成丝,放到陶盆里面备用。
准备好这些韩成又去弄了一些葱回来,刚刚把葱花切好,准备烧火,巫不知道从什么地方跑了过来,腿脚快的堪比祭祀天神时候。
他跑的当然快,因为神子好一段时间都没有下过厨了,今天这又是弄鱼又是弄菜的,一看就是准备做上一顿的样子,作为部落里的资深吃货,烧火这样的好机会他怎么可能会错过?
纵然是烧火的时候也同样吃不到嘴里食物,不过能够多闻闻诱人的味道也是非常不错的,而且看着神子烹制食物也是一种享受。
这是在火一火二两人都去世之后,巫发现的一个秘密。
怪不得她们两个之前看到神子烧食物就那样兴奋的过去烧火……
直到巫把火生起,陶罐烧热,韩成往里面放入一些白色的脂肪油,把花椒豆放入热油爆香,并把酸菜丝倒进里面翻炒的时候,显得有些气喘的圆这才过来。
闻闻厨房里面飘**的浓郁香味,再看看正在翻菜的韩成以及烧火的巫,圆这才露出恍然的神色。
怪不得这个晚上总是装睡的家伙,今天居然跑的这样快。
正蹲在那里烧火的巫,感受到来自于圆的目光,心里不由得一惊,觉得这次算是玩完了,本来已经隐藏的非常好了,结果一不留神,一下子就全暴露了。
本来兴致盎然的巫,一张脸都苦了下来。
看到这一幕韩成并没有觉得有多么好笑,反而是生起了一种强烈的感同身受。
不过巫应该比韩成还要可怜一些,因为白雪妹年纪还小,而圆的年纪已经不小了。
毕竟三十如狼四十如虎五十坐下能吸土,圆正是处在这样的一个年纪里。
Han Cheng suddenly became happy when he thought of this, and Bai Xue was now pregnant with her second child.
After that night of love, not only did Bai Xuemei gain happiness for the next ten months, but Han Cheng also felt very happy.
Han Cheng was happy in his heart, but when he went to see Wu again, he suddenly felt different. It was a kind of sympathy with joy.
The ceramic pot has a slow heat conduction process. After the sauerkraut was put in, the temperature dropped rapidly and the stir-frying quickly turned into a pan-fried dish.
This made Han Cheng wonder whether he should get a set of copper cooking utensils in the future.
After frying the sauerkraut for a while, looking at the color and smelling the sour aroma filling the kitchen, Han Cheng temporarily put aside the idea of making copper cookware and decided that it would be more important to prepare the sauerkraut fish first.
Pour the clean water from the two ceramic basins into the small ceramic jar, cover it with a lid and simmer for a while. When the water boils, pour the marinated fish fillets in and stir it twice with a wooden spoon. When the water boils again and simmers for about two more minutes, Han Cheng asked the witch to put out the fire.
I grabbed a handful of chopped green onions and threw them in. An even stronger sour aroma spread throughout the kitchen.
The white fish fillets, paired with dark brown pickled cabbage and chopped green onions, are so delicious that you don’t even need to taste them; the appearance alone is enough to make you salivate.
"Gudong!"
"Gudong!"
Yuan forgot about how to settle the score with Wu in the evening, and Wu also forgot about being exposed. The two of them looked at the nearly full tank of pickled fish in a very ungraceful manner, swallowing their saliva wildly.
"Son of God, let me scoop it into the basin!"
Seeing Han Cheng holding a wooden spoon and trying to put the pickled fish into the large clay pot for rice beside him, Wu swallowed his saliva and said something very tactful.
Han Cheng handed the wooden spoon to Wu and went to deal with the meat slices himself.
Wu scooped rice into the clay pot one spoonful at a time. In the end, when there was only half a spoonful left in the pottery jar, Wu did not pour any more rice into the pot. Instead, he secretly glanced at Han Cheng who was carefully cutting meat slices with his head down. Then he quickly put the wooden spoon to his mouth and took a sip quietly. The wonderful taste entered his mouth, and Wu narrowed his eyes in comfort.
Yuan was originally hesitant to eat the food in advance. After all, this was no longer the time when she was in her original tribe. But she couldn't resist the temptation of food after all. When Wu Chi took the third bite, she finally couldn't help but lean over.
Han Cheng, who was cutting meat slices not far away, glanced over here secretly, and saw two people secretly "eating" and couldn't help but smile.
"Son of God, I still keep the fire going."
Han Cheng brought the meat slices over and took out the soaked bamboo shoots. Wu wiped the corner of his mouth and spoke as if nothing had happened. Without waiting for Han Cheng to speak, he squatted in front of the stove and started adding firewood.
Yuan had little experience with things like this, and she was not as thick-skinned as Wu, so she could not be as calm as Wu. When facing Han Cheng, she seemed particularly unnatural and nervous.
She wanted to sneak out of the kitchen, but she couldn't bear the smell of the food there. After hesitating for a while, she squatted beside Wu obediently, like an obedient little wife.
Han Cheng found the two people's expressions very funny. In order to avoid making the atmosphere awkward, he could only hold back his laughter and pretend that he knew nothing and continued to prepare some food.
Heat the oil, fry the peppercorns and chopped green onions, then add the meat slices, stir-fry, then add the bamboo shoots, finally add water and green apricot slices, and boil...
“It smells so good!”
Inside the courtyard, the second senior brother kept sniffing, and the others were similar to him, all attracted by the fragrance.
"It's Shenzi! Shenzi made food today!"
Someone took the opportunity to drink the boiled and cooled bamboo leaf water from the large vat outside the kitchen, looked into the kitchen quietly, then came over here and talked to the others excitedly.
After hearing the news, the others showed a look of realization and became even more excited, looking forward to the nightfall...
"What a bunch of gluttons!"
Looking at his second senior brother who held up the bowl of green apricot, bamboo shoots and pork slice soup high up, opened his mouth and waited for a long time before catching the last drop of soup that stayed on the edge of the bowl and was reluctant to fall into his mouth, and then put the bowl down with a smacking of lips, Han Cheng couldn't help but sigh again.
What should have been a dark dish has become the most popular meal at this time. Even Han Chengdu finds it unbelievable.
This meal is mainly prepared for pregnant women. How come you guys, a bunch of grown men, are still so unsatisfied after eating it?
Looking at his second senior brother and the others who were madly complaining in his heart, Han Dashenzi had automatically filtered out the situation when he was drinking the green apricot, bamboo shoots and pork soup just now.
"Brother Cheng, let's make this again tomorrow!"
This dark dish of Han Cheng was undoubtedly very much in line with the taste of Bai Xuemei, who was chewing green apricots non-stop. Now she was touching her belly and said to Han Cheng with hope on her face.
She had been pregnant with her second child for a short time, and her belly was flat, so it was not noticeable at all. But now it was bulging with food.
Han Cheng felt very comfortable when he saw the reactions of Bai Xuemei and the people in the tribe who had eaten the green apricot, bamboo shoot and pork soup.
For a cook, this is the most enjoyable thing besides not having to wash pots and dishes.
How about trying some dark cuisine yourself in the future? Come up with some new ideas?
It’s not impossible to try fried mooncakes with tomatoes.
Thinking of this, Han Chengsui shook his head again. This is not an easy dish to make. First of all, you need tomatoes and moon cakes...
The sky darkened and night fell. Except for the person who was still on guard in the watchtower on the wall, everyone else had gone to bed.
Even though their night life was richer than that of most tribes of that era, before the emergence and popularization of magical things like electric lights that could turn night into day, the tribe as a whole could not get rid of the lifestyle of working from sunrise to sunset.
"Little Pea...son..."
The lights were off in the room, and Snow White's voice was heard calling out to Little Pea.
After the voice fell, the room fell into silence, and there was no response from Little Pea.
"Little Pea...Son"
After a pause, Bai Xuemei called out softly again. After doing this several times, Bai Xuemei got up and came to Han Cheng and said excitedly, "Brother Cheng, Little Pea has fallen asleep..."
"Well, just sleep if you want."
Han Cheng was startled, then pretended to be confused and spoke with a sleepy look.
Sister Bai Xue paused for a moment, then reminded: "Brother Cheng, Little Pea is asleep..."
A true warrior must have the courage to face the wind and rain. After hearing Bai Xuemei's reminder again, Han Cheng stopped pretending to be confused. He turned around, lying flat on his back instead of lying on his side, and then said seriously: "Not now, you are pregnant again. Come on, go to sleep obediently..."
Sister Bai Xue, who had just shown joy and was about to sit down, suddenly turned bitter.
Han Cheng in the darkness showed a refreshing smile.
Having such a legitimate reason for rejection that won’t be described in unacceptable terms really makes me feel relieved!
While Han Dashenzi, who was in a good mood, fell asleep with a smile on his face, someone in the Tongshan residential area was unable to sleep...
(Four chapters in one, one chapter is a make-up chapter.
I was out for some reason these past two days, so I coded two chapters on my phone on the train, which always felt a bit weird...)
