Chapter 67 June Yellow
Lu Miao was stunned for a moment, then she thought that the things in her hands were all made for her by Fu Jingyou, so it would be no big deal for her to give one in return, so she didn't take it to heart.
There were withered dogwood and mugwort stuck at the back door. Lu Miao asked:
"Is today the Dragon Boat Festival?"
Fu Jingyou opened the iron chain and pushed open the door, his voice low and heavy: "It was yesterday."
Lu Miao said "Oh" and slowly followed into the yard. "I forgot about the Dragon Boat Festival this year. Did you make anything delicious? Like rice dumplings?"
Although she was asking a question, she didn't wait for Fu Jingyou to answer and had already trotted to the corner of the yard.
After a while, the Fu family's backyard was a bit tidier than before, and the various vegetable seedlings and rice seedlings planted previously had also changed a lot.
Although it may not be very tall, its roots are straight and it looks extremely vibrant.
Lu Miao squatted in the corner and looked at the seedlings. Fu Jingyou had already opened the kitchen door and put the iron lock on the back door of the yard on the table. Finally, he turned around and opened the two doors of the kitchen wide. After a lot of busy work, he moved a recliner from the corner of the kitchen and placed it next to the back door.
The sun was blazing outside. Fu Jingyou squinted at Lu Miao, patted the recliner, and shouted, "Come in and rest for a while."
"oh!"
Lu Miao put the gourd ladle for scooping water into the old bucket, trotted into the kitchen happily, and saw the big thing next to the door at a glance.
The recliner is heavy, with the main frame made of solid wood, while the part where people lie down is made of bamboo strips fixed with nails.
The bamboo strips are divided into two colors, most of which are brown, and the other small part is staggered between brown and white. The emerald green color of the bamboo has not completely faded.
It is obvious that this recliner is quite old and was originally a bit shabby. It was specially repaired when it was moved out for use. The bamboo strips whose green color has not faded completely are the best evidence.
There was no such thing in the kitchen before. Lu Miao touched the handle of the recliner and asked:
"Where did this come from?"
"It has always been in my house. I didn't move it out because it was buried under other things. I only thought of moving it out when the weather got hotter recently."
Fu Jingyou not only repaired the damaged parts of the recliner, but also moved it out and carefully washed and wiped it. Not only is there not a trace of dust or stain on the surface of the recliner, there is also no dust or stain on the back.
He considerately invited Lu Miao to rest, and Lu Miao did not hesitate. She supported herself with her hands and climbed up the recliner. She felt a little uncomfortable where her knees were against the bamboo. After lying down, she felt uncomfortable on her back. But after a while, she realized the beauty of this recliner.
The cool breeze blows straight to my back through the gaps between the bamboo slats, it’s really cool!
As for the discomfort?
The pain is directly weakened, just like walking barefoot on a round cobblestone ground. After the initial stage of discomfort, you can also feel a sense of comfort.
Even though she felt comfortable, Lu Miao did not forget her business. Thinking of the big buffalo tied in the shade of the bamboo forest, she jumped up from the recliner and asked:
"Is it okay to tie the cow there? If the team sees the cow, will they know I'm with you?"
"Won't."
Fu Jingyou answered confidently, and Lu Miao curiously asked, "Why?"
"No reason, it's the same in the team. In the past, when the uncles and aunts were herding cattle and came home for lunch, they would tie up the cattle in a shady place near the houses."
Theft is not a minor crime. Besides, who would dare to steal something as valuable as a cow?
Just find a shady place within sight to tie the cow up, and make sure it doesn't get sunburned or get off the rope and trample on the team's crops.
Fu Jingyou said as he brought a bucket to the recliner for Lu Miao to see. "I caught it in the basket we collected this morning. The yellow girl is in it too. Take a look."
"You just came back from outside yesterday, and you still have time to put the fish basket down?"
Although he was confused, Lu Miao still cooperated and took a look into the bucket.
At this glance, she was suddenly surprised, "Oh, it's a yellow bone fish!"
Yes, in addition to loaches and eels, there are also a few small crucian carps that are not much longer than a finger in the bucket, as well as a few yellow bone fish that are shaking their tails and jumping around.
Some people may not be familiar with yellow croaker, but if we talk about yellow croaker, there should be quite a few people who know it.
There is a dish called yellow croaker tofu soup. Lu Miao had it once and has always remembered it.
That was before she traveled through time, when she was still young and had just entered high school.
Because of participating in group training and suffering outside for a week, I had some gastrointestinal problems. After returning home, I either vomited everything I ate or couldn't eat anything.
It was Aunt Liu, who has worked at my grandma's house for a long time, who suggested this idea. She made a soup with yellow croaker and tofu, and also added bean sprouts, chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns.
The soup tasted salty, fragrant and slightly spicy, the fish was tender and smooth, and the bean sprouts were particularly crisp and refreshing. Lu Miao scooped a spoonful of it at that time, and after eating it, all the adverse reactions disappeared. He even ate two large bowls of rice with the soup.
Afterwards, I was so full that I lay in my grandma's arms, whimpering and making a lot of jokes...
Lu Miao's face showed surprise. Fu Jingyou knew that there was nothing in the bucket that couldn't be eaten, whether it was fish or crabs. "How do you do it? You tell me, I'll do it."
Lu Miao hesitated, "Hmm... there are so many, I definitely can't finish them all at once."
Fu Jingyou shook the bucket and said nonchalantly, "Eat whichever one you want, and keep the others for now."
Lu Miao was surprised: "Can it survive in such hot weather? Won't it die?"
Fu Jingyou shook his head and said, "I'll move the tank from the front yard over here and put it in the shade under the eaves. It won't get in the way if the water is deeper."
Lu Miao was skeptical. After solving the follow-up problems of the other eels and small crucian carp, she pursed her lips and thought for a while, then said:
"I want to eat yellow croaker, but it seems to require tofu, which we don't have. Besides, I've only eaten this before, so I'm not sure how to make it. I can only try it out."
"Then let's give it a try." Fu Jingyou made a decisive decision, then turned around and asked Lu Miao hesitantly, "I'll prepare the tofu next time. Can I replace it with something else this time?"
Yes, of course!
Lu Miao nodded actively.
Whatever she said was what it was. Fu Jingyou had already been obedient to her enough, and she couldn't force him to do anything.
Fu Jingyou nodded. If he couldn't decide how to cook it, he would start from the ingredients and seasonings and work his way back. He asked Lu Miao:
"What's in that thing you're eating?"
Lu Miao's pupils flickered, and he said to him in detail with a "hmm":
"Yellow croaker, tofu, bean sprouts, Sichuan peppercorns, and chili peppers. There shouldn't be much chili pepper; it only tastes slightly spicy to me."
"good."
Fu Jingyou knew what was going on. He brought over a wooden basin for washing vegetables and fished out the yellow bone fish in a few strokes. In the empty space where the bucket tilted, Lu Miao made another discovery. "Oh, this crab is quite big! When you said crab, I thought it was one of those small crabs from the lake!"
"There are quite a few like this in the lake, but you can't see them during the bright day. If you get up early, you can see them crawling densely all over the water outlet and along the edges of the water plants."
