Chapter 54 Comfortable
"I thought you were going to pick me up in a BMW, but you were driving a tricycle..."
Bai Mengmeng's face was full of seriousness: "This is what you don't know. Tricycles are more convenient than cars nowadays. Come on up."
Cao Zhizhi jumped onto the back carriage and said, "It's quite comfortable. Let's hurry up and make the wind stronger!"
"Don't worry, I usually use this cart to haul pigs, so it's bound to be very fast!"
"Don't think I don't know you're talking nonsense. You even dare to laugh at me and call me a pig. You're courting death!"
Cao Zhizhi immediately started to touch Bai Mengmeng all over.
When Cao Zhizhi entered the Qiongye Restaurant and looked at the dilapidated front yard, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"It was quite beautiful when there were more. Aren't there a lot of flowers? I remember there was also a table. How come it's gone?"
Bai Mengmeng was speechless: "Those flowers have already withered a long time ago, and I didn't plan them well when I planted them before, so they look a bit messy. This time I plan to replant them in the spring."
As they were talking, Wang Hao sneaked out of the door with a few sweet potatoes. He happened to see the two of them and quickly hid the sweet potatoes. He said awkwardly, "Master, how did you come back so soon?"
Bai Mengmeng narrowed her eyes. Hadn't she roasted these sweet potatoes? She even covered them with a thick layer of wood ash, but she hadn't expected them to escape the poison's clutches.
But she had also driven Wang Hao's tricycle today, so she barely broke even. So she didn't care much and said, "Xiao Wang, this is my good friend Cao Zhizhi. She's going to play here for the next two days."
Wang Hao smiled brightly: "Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome."
After he left, Cao Zhizhi's face suddenly became excited: "I finally understand why you stay here. It turns out there is such a handsome guy here. But why does he call you the leader?"
Bai Mengmeng immediately explained awkwardly: "Master, it's actually the dialect here, it actually means boss."
No, handsome guy? Who are you talking about...
Seeing this face every day, and being tortured by all kinds of weird inventions from time to time, Bai Mengmeng had long forgotten that this person had a pretty good face.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Mengmeng said to Cao Zhizhi seriously, "Zhizhi, I have an even more handsome guy here. Don't make a fuss later and don't embarrass me."
Cao Zhizhi said with disdain: "I'm not someone who has never seen the world, how handsome can I be?"
But the next second, she couldn't help but cover her mouth with a face full of fangirling: "Damn, so handsome!"
A young boy with striking sword-like eyebrows walked out. His facial features were extremely handsome, and he had a faint sense of alienation. His eyebrows were drooping, and he looked very cool no matter how he looked.
The facial features are clean and sharp, the curvature of the lips, the angle of the nose bridge are all exquisite, which makes people sigh that this person must be a favorite of God to have such a noble face.
But this man didn't care about Cao Zhizhi's shocked face at all. He just nodded slightly, greeted her, and left the yard without looking back.
Cao Zhizhi finally came to her senses and was a little bit incredulous for a moment: "No, where did this handsome guy come from?!"
"Look at how you're making such a fuss. You're really embarrassing your sisters. It's also the fault of Fenghuang Town, which is truly a place of great natural beauty." Bai Mengmeng teased with a smile.
"Your place is really full of talented people. Could the handsome boy you saw just now be an employee?" Cao Zhizhi became curious.
Bai Mengmeng didn't know how to explain it, so she could only evade the question: "They are relatives on Grandpa's side."
Cao Zhizhi stopped pestering him and followed him into the house.
When the two came back, they had missed dinner time.
Huaguduo was editing a video in the lobby, and Xu Bo had already fallen asleep on the recliner.
"Master, you said there is no braised food until you eat." Huaguduo was a little embarrassed.
Bai Mengmeng didn't care. She introduced the two parties to each other and went into the kitchen.
"I'll do it myself, just wait."
This summer, Bai Mengmeng picked some cherry tomatoes on the mountain, which tasted particularly sour.
She crushed the cherry tomatoes in a blender and added pickles and salt.
Then pour in white wine and ferment for a month, and a jar of sour and spicy red soup is ready.
This red sour soup is commonly eaten in neighboring provinces and is also often eaten locally. It is very good for making rice noodles or pickled fish.
There is not enough time today, so I can only make some sour soup rice noodles for now.
I took some pork and chopped it into pieces, and cut a few tomatoes, washed them and cut them into cubes.
Use lard to sauté chopped onion, ginger and garlic, stir-fry the minced meat until cooked, then add tomatoes.
As the temperature rose, the juice of the tomatoes seeped out. Bai Mengmeng added some water and two spoonfuls of red and sour soup.
After the water boils, add the rice noodles and let them absorb the soup, then you can season them.
Finally, sprinkle some green onions on it for decoration. This bowl of sour soup rice noodles looks very ordinary, but it is actually sour and spicy and very appetizing.
Some places also add a little Litsea cubeba oil. Some people love this thing very much, while others can't stand it. Bai Mengmeng didn't add it because he didn't like it very much. His tongue is sensitive and he can't taste it.
"It's time to eat!"
Bai Mengmeng went out with the rice noodles, but found that the person was gone.
"Where did you go?"
When she came to the backyard, Bai Mengmeng found that Cao Zhizhi was actually grinding the mill there.
On the day of the live broadcast, an accident occurred, so the props team was in a hurry to clean up and forgot about the stone mill. Occasionally, fans would come to check in.
"This thing is too heavy. It's completely different from the ones in the scenic area." After pushing it twice, Cao Zhizhi began to pant and sweat broke out on her forehead.
Bai Mengmeng nodded gently: "This is indeed very heavy, let's not play with it."
Cao Zhizhi smiled and said, "I saw Yuanyuan's emoticon pack earlier, it was really hilarious. It seems everyone has misjudged him. It's not that he's weak, it's that this thing is really heavy!"
Bai Mengmeng also found it a bit funny: "Pushing without doing anything is boring. Let's soak some soybeans and grind them slowly. Come with me to eat first."
Cao Zhizhi nodded and ran to the dining table. She had eaten there several times before, so she knew that Bai Mengmeng’s cooking was particularly delicious.
Seeing the bright red sour soup rice noodles, she couldn't help but ask, "Is this spicy?"
"This is actually mainly sour, made with tomatoes, with a little chili, but it's not very spicy. Why don't you try it first?"
Cao Zhizhi drank a sip of soup first.
It’s not spicy at all, but mainly sour, and not the sourness of vinegar, but the sourness of tomatoes.
But the taste is richer than ordinary tomatoes and full of natural flavor.
The rice noodles are also very smooth, and the minced meat is salty and fragrant. In this autumn weather, the taste of the meat slides directly into the throat, and the whole body feels comfortable.
