Chapter 101 Soft Gold
Lu Miao got stuck in a rut and kept asking Fu Jingyou:
"Do you think this is too much trouble? Don't want to do it? Then I'll take it back!"
Fu Jingyou always remembered what she said when she entered the yard just now. There were many things that he didn't have the chance to eat at the educated youth site. If he took the things back, wouldn't they just be left there?
Fu Jingyou held down Lu Miao's pouting hand as she tried to collect the things.
"That's not my intention. I've already brought it here. It would be too much trouble for you to take it back. First, tell me what to do with this snow frog oil next!"
Lu Miao hummed softly, thinking that this was pretty good.
"Frog oil usually needs to be soaked overnight. After it is fully soaked, it needs to be carefully rinsed twice with clean water and washed thoroughly."
Taking out the red dates and rock sugar he had just brought, Lu Miao said:
"Don't you have a steamer at home? Just make it like you would soup. Take a bowl, fill it with frog oil, add enough water to cover the ingredients, throw in two or three pieces of rock sugar and a few red dates, and steam it."
"Steam it for an hour or two and you can eat it."
Fu Jingyou took a deep breath and rubbed his face worriedly, "How can I eat this?"
Not only is it laborious, but it also requires a lot of ingredients. Not to mention the soft golden frog oil, even the rock sugar is not cheap.
Lu Miao pouted and looked at him, then drew out a threatening "hmm".
Fu Jingyou sighed helplessly, and changed the subject in a low, hoarse voice: "Eat, I can eat, I can eat."
Lu Miao's lips curled up in amusement, but he pretended to be arrogant and snorted coldly: "It's true that wild boars can't eat fine bran!"
Fu Jingyou laughed silently and was not annoyed.
Lu Miao knew his good temper and didn't argue with him. He just said seriously:
"Don't take it lightly. Snow frog is one of the four great mountain delicacies and is very nutritious! Don't you usually work hard and don't eat well?"
Fu Jingyou subconsciously retorted: "I eat very well, no problem..."
"You say it or I say it?"
Lu Miao's face was tense, and Fu Jingyou immediately begged for mercy: "Go ahead."
Lu Miao glared at him unhappily, "There are so many here. Even if I don't come over, you can steam some occasionally."
Although snow frog is precious, sometimes its value is not measured in this way. For example, the daily care of Fu Jingyou, Geng Xiaoyun and his team is equally precious to Lu Miao.
They helped her where she was lacking, in other words, she also wanted to contribute a little bit of her insignificant strength where they were lacking.
Fu Jingyou nodded, took the bowl of frog oil to the big table beside him and placed it down. He said "I know" neatly, but no one knew what he was thinking.
Lu Miao didn't want to keep talking about this matter. Thinking of the red tomato in his hand when he came just now, she asked happily:
"Are the tomatoes ripe? I saw you picking them just now."
"Yes, I've picked all the red ones. I didn't expect you to come so early. I was planning to soak in the water. You can come over at noon to have a refreshing bite."
"It's okay." Lu Miao chuckled, took out some brown sugar and pushed it to Fu Jingyou, blinking his dark round eyes and commanding coquettishly: "I want to eat tomatoes mixed with brown sugar, you make it for me!"
Fu Jingyou had no choice but to obey her. Naturally, he had to prepare all the food and drinks and put them at her disposal so that he could focus on other things.
This time, Lu Miao brought a lot of things, including red dates, rock sugar, brown sugar, nuts, snow frog, and so on.
Most of them need to be kept dry before they can be stored. Lu Miao is careless and can't consider such details, but Fu Jingyou is the opposite of her.
For fear of spoiling anything, he walked back and forth in the house, collecting all the jars and pots he could find, and only felt relieved when he had put everything away properly.
Busily moving all the jars and cans to the bottom of the cupboard and putting them away one by one, Fu Jingyou turned around and looked at Lu Miao:
"Red dates, dried toads, and dried fruits are all in cloth bags in the cupboard. Rock sugar and brown sugar are all here, in the ceramic jars."
Lu Miao sat on the recliner, swinging his legs and happily eating brown sugar tomatoes, without even looking up, "Got it."
Fu Jingyou looked back at the pottery jars and jars, feeling uneasy, but there seemed to be no better place to hide these things at home.
If someone breaks into your house and starts causing trouble, they're bound to rummage through everything. Jars like these, which contain pickled vegetables, should be relatively safe...
Thinking of this, Fu Jingyou felt relieved.
After putting everything away, Fu Jingyou twisted a thin hemp rope, put two brass keys on it, and pushed it along the small table to Lu Miao.
Lu Miao extended his tongue to lick the brown sugar juice at the corner of his mouth, his distinct black and white lychee eyes glaring at him sideways, "What are you doing?"
"Here are the keys to the backyard and the front gate."
Fu Jingyou raised the key.
"The small one is the back one, and the big one is the front one. If I'm not home later, you can come over anytime if you want to get something."
Lu Miao nodded, playfully poking her head forward with her lips pursed, and Fu Jingyou conveniently put the keychain on her.
"This tomato is really delicious. It must be grown at home... Fu Jingyou, do you want to try it?"
"Just eat them." Fu Jingyou smiled faintly and shook his head, his face full of indulgence. "Just eat these for now. In a few days, there will be more ripe ones. You can eat them then."
"Oh well!"
Lu Miao nodded like a little chicken, concentrating on eating the tomatoes with brown sugar without being distracted.
Lunch was simple for Lu Miao, but rich for Fu Jingyou. It included not only fine-grain rice and coarse-grain steamed sweet potatoes, but also two big red crabs.
Lu Miao said that crabs are cold in nature and she was afraid that eating them all the time would cause stomach discomfort. In addition, Fu Jingyou made a bowl of dumpling soup so that she could drink something hot after eating the crabs.
Lu Miao is a typical spoiled girl who takes advantage of others. If something is not available, it is gone. But once it is available, she will pick it up.
Take the bowl of pimple soup for example. When she saw it, she frowned and pouted, "How can I drink pimple soup that's full of lumps..."
Fu Jingyou paused and said, "Eat it first. I'll bring back some eggs next time so the egg dumpling soup will be delicious."
"I'd better change it when I'm free. I've changed it with my aunt before, so she'll definitely be willing to change it for me."
Lu Miao ate the crab seriously, and said after a while:
"Dumpling soup doesn't necessarily require eggs. If we had left a tomato, or had some green vegetables, it would still be delicious."
Fu Jingyou nodded and took notes in his mind, "Okay, I'll prepare some of them next time."
"Um!"
Lu Miao bared his little white teeth and continued to fight with the crab.
As the season gradually approached the beginning of autumn in August, the amount of crab roe increased significantly. In addition, the crabs Fu Jingyou brought back were female crabs, so Lu Miao was eating so much that his mouth was dripping with oil.
Just as he was struggling hard, he suddenly heard the sound of moving dishes in front of him. Lu Miao looked up blankly and saw Fu Jingyou pushing a bowl towards him. The bowl was filled with not only snow-white crab meat, but also orange-yellow crab roe.
