Upon hearing this, Xu Di led his horse outside, saying to his family members as he went, "You all stay home and rest well. You've come all this way, so don't think about anything else. Just have some fun. I'm going to the garrison to take care of some things."
Watching the departing figure on horseback, Xu Zhi said to Granny Lu and Li Yuexi, "My elder brother is always so decisive. Let's go home first and have Madam Li cook something delicious for us. The wheat in the fields will be harvested soon, and Madam Li said she's going to grind some green wheat into a paste to make pancakes. I've never tried them before and don't know if they're good. Since you're all here, let's give them a try."
The two children were naturally delighted to hear about more delicious food. One of them grabbed Xu Zhi's hand and asked, "Auntie Jiu, Auntie Jiu, what other delicious food does Luzhou have? Does it have lots of delicious fish like Miaozhou?"
This is what Duoduo said. Recently, Duoduo's sentences have become longer and longer, and some of her words can fully express her personal wishes. Whether she is happy or sad, Duoduo can talk to her elders like a little adult. In contrast, Guoguo's language development is somewhat lacking, and her sentences are very short. Fortunately, although her sentences are short, she can express her wishes. Chen Zhaoci saw that Li Yuexi was anxious because Guoguo's speech was not as fluent as Duoduo's, so he advised her not to be like that. Although Guoguo's speech is not very fluent, his physical development is very good. There are some actions that Duoduo cannot do, but he can do them at a very early age.
When Xu Zhi heard Duo Duo ask her what good food Luzhou had, she smiled and said, "There are so many delicious things to eat in Luzhou. For example, there are lots of bamboo shoots on this mountain in the spring. Li Niangzi pickles the bamboo shoots she harvests, and some are cut into pieces and dried. We can eat pickled bamboo shoots and braised pork belly with dried bamboo shoots, which are all very delicious."
Although the boundary river is a large river, it has always been a military stronghold for both the Great Liang and the Great Yan, so fishing is not allowed in it. However, Xu Di helped to divert a canal from the boundary river, and unexpectedly, many fish of all sizes swam over from it. In recent days, Xu Zhi's family has been cooking fish every day, whether it's fried or stewed, Li Niangzi's cooking is always delicious.
Duoduo recalled the dishes made with dried bamboo shoots she had eaten at the Marquis's residence. The dried bamboo shoots were rather dry and not as delicious as fresh bamboo shoots. However, the capital city was thousands of miles away from the south. If the bamboo shoots dug here were not properly processed and sent directly to the capital, they would dry out on the way. Therefore, the bamboo shoots that people in the capital usually ate were dried bamboo shoots or bamboo shoot shreds.
Seeing the bamboo covering the mountains and fields, Duoduo thought the bamboo shoots she was going to eat this time should taste really good.
