Xia Lunong's enthusiasm for bamboo shoots has increased a lot, and she even took the initiative to pick peppers. Kong Zhi looked at the cat for a while, not quite understanding how the guy who was so scared that he jumped two meters high more than an hour ago changed his nature so quickly. Kong

Zhi looked at the cat, then looked at the bamboo shoots in the back basket that were tightly covered by bamboo strips, and confirmed: "Are you not afraid anymore?"

"Meow." Xia Lunong looked at him with her emerald eyes, and the furry cat raised its head slightly, not admitting that he was afraid.

It's just a little ugly.

Bee pupae, crabs, crayfish; scorpions, bamboo rats, big bullfrogs - which one is not ugly, and ugliness does not affect their deliciousness.

Xia Maomao moved his paws, showing a look of sympathy on his face. He hadn't eaten any of these for a long time.

Kong Zhi looked at him for a few seconds, picked the peppers and put them in the basket as he requested, put the hatchet in the basket, picked up the cat on the ground, and said, "Let's go." "

Meow."

Xia Huoqu and his friends were not good at cooking, and Kong Zhi didn't know how to cook either. This small basket of bamboo shoots was eventually sent to the canteen kitchen to be handled by a professional chef.

They specially found Sun Hongxiu, who was the best at stir-frying in the canteen, and entrusted her to handle the bamboo shoots.

Sun Hongxiu was very happy. She came out and took the basket from Kong Zhi. She weighed it first, "Is this the bamboo shoots we're going to make tonight? It's heavy enough."

"There are 47 in total." Kong Zhi said, put down a pound of rice, and put down important seasonings such as oil and chili peppers. He said to Sun Hongxiu, "Please fry them in oil and then stir-fry them with chili peppers. Don't add water. Use the dry stir-fry method."

Xia Lunong wrote this stir-fry method on the ground with his paws, and asked Kong Zhi to convey it to him.

Every word is the essence.

"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely make it delicious for you." Sun Hongxiu took the ingredients, and the smile on her face became deeper. "Wait here for a while, it will be ready in an hour at most." Kong

Zhi nodded and sat down at the door of the kitchen with the cat in his arms.

Sun Hongxiu carried a backpack, walked into the kitchen, dragged out a large wooden basin from under the chopping board, and carefully poured the bamboo shoots into it. She also held a bamboo plate in her hand to cover it, so that the bamboo shoots would not fly away when she was not paying attention.

The afternoon meal has been prepared and sent out, and there are only a few steamed buns left in the kitchen.

Sun Hongxiu's action of pouring the bamboo shoots was a bit big, and several Xunzhan came to watch the excitement, and they were surprised when they saw it.

A bald middle-aged man next to him turned his head and asked Kong Zhi: "Did you catch them in the bamboo forest? Aren't the bamboo shoots in that area the most agile? How did you catch so many?"

Kong Zhi said: "I'm lucky."

Pan, who was next to him, had a calm expression, half believing and half doubting, but his face was more or less excited.

Bamboo shoots are pests, and catching them is not prohibited at the base, so you can catch them at will.

Sun Hongxiu looked up at their excited expressions and poured cold water on them, "Wow, you are so happy. A few days ago, Tianma Ba took his friends to the bamboo forest for a walk. He said he had been looking for more than two hours, but he only brought out a small plate."

Sun Hongxiu stretched out her thumb and pinched the base of her thumb with her index finger, "It's okay to find less, but they are all small bamboo shoots this big. Big bamboo shoots are so alert that even if you catch them, you will easily get bitten."

The bald man reluctantly withdrew his gaze and said casually, "It's okay to get bitten. I heard that this thing is very tonic."

"Yes, it's just a bite. It's not poisonous."

"These bamboo shoots are so big, just catching a few of them will be enough for a plate."

Several soldiers shouted, "The bamboo shoots are so fat now. If they are delicious after processing, I will go up the mountain to catch some tomorrow."

"Go away, bamboo shoots are delicious. They were sold for one or two hundred yuan per catty before the disaster."

"Meow." Xia Lunong saw a group of gangs coming to watch and seriously disturbing Sun Hongxiu's processing of bamboo shoots. She squatted on Kong Zhi's legs and reminded him.

Zhongbo Kangchen Bu Du Laixiu, "Is it from Deputy Captain Xia's family? Could these bamboo shoots be caught by Deputy Captain Xia?"

"Meow!" No!

Sun Hongxiu looked at the people around her and stretched out her hand to stop them. "Come on, come on, don't interrupt my work. We agreed to deal with it in an hour. Don't destroy my reputation."

A man beside her said, "These bamboo shoots are not easy to deal with. Sister Sun, do you want to help?"

"No, this thing is not harder to deal with than crayfish." Sun Hongxiu hurriedly said, "Help me get two heads of garlic when you have time. Don't block here."

Sun Hongxiu hurriedly said to the people around her.

It is rare to see so many bamboo shoots. It is good for them to learn how to deal with them. If they catch bamboo shoots in the future, they can do it themselves.

The group of people gathered at the entrance of the canteen kitchen

These days, everyone has been busy repairing the base. They are very tired all day long. It is only during this period of time in the evening that they get together to talk and relieve their fatigue. Seeing the liveliness, many mistakes are immediately revealed.

Sun Hongxiu doesn't mind them stealing her skills. There is no exclusive secret recipe for stir-frying bamboo shoots. If they are clean, add enough ingredients, and use the right heat, they will be delicious no matter how they stir-fry.

Kong Zhi and Xia Lunong did not leave in the sour brown.

Now everyone sends food to the canteen for processing according to this rule. The chef cooks inside, and the group will ensure that no corners are cut.

Sun Hongxiu's hands were very deft. She stretched out her hand, grabbed the bamboo shoot worm by its back, pulled it out, plucked off its wing shell, twisted off its head, and cleaned out its internal organs.

She could clean a bamboo shoot worm in a few seconds.

After cleaning it, she washed it several times with warm water, drained the water, and directly fried it in oil.

She fried it very carefully.

After the oil pan boiled, the bamboo shoot worms rolled inside, and almost instantly, an indescribable fragrance wafted out.

All the people gathered at the kitchen door stretched their necks at once, and like a group of geese, they put their heads close to the kitchen and sniffed desperately.

"Oh, what a nice smell!"

"This bamboo shoot worm is really strong."

"Why do I smell a special fragrance? It smells better than bee pupae."

"Brother, this is a bamboo shoot worm. It grows up eating bamboo from small to large, so it naturally has a fragrance."

The fragrance of the bamboo

shoot worm became stronger and stronger. In addition to praising, the people gathered in front of the kitchen began to get restless.

"No, I have to go to the cafeteria to exchange a glass of wine. I have to exchange a glass of wine for such a fragrant thing to slowly taste." "Use the fragrance to go with the wine

? What if I get more greedy the more I drink?"

"The more I drink, the more I want to drink. If I miss the bamboo shoots this time, I don't know when I will smell this fragrance again."

"Well, that's true. I'll exchange a cup too. I'll exchange a plate of soybeans and we'll drink with soybeans."

"I'll exchange a plate of soy sauce and chili and have a share."

With the sound of swallowing saliva, several men said they wanted to exchange for wine.

The other cooks took their meal tickets to the cafeteria to exchange for something, and ate while gnawing at the door of the kitchen.

With this rich fragrance, even the bland sweet potatoes became delicious.

Kong Zhi was surrounded by the sour brown, with no expression on his face.

Xia Maomao lay on his thighs, sniffing the fragrance in the air vigorously, with a happy expression on her face.

The gluttonous cats around were all laughing at such lively expressions. There

was a lot of noise in the cafeteria. Yan Xinian and Xia Huoqu came over together after finishing their work at the base.

Yan Xinian smiled when he saw the greed on Xia Lunong's face, "Now you have really become a greedy cat."

"Meow." Xia Lunong came back to his senses from his greed, and stretched out his paw to slap his hand unhappily. Her whole cat face said: What's wrong with being greedy?

There are deputy captains Yingxia and Wonji Danhai next to them. They have bamboo shoots. Don't be stingy, order a good dish too!" "

That makes sense." Yan Xinian asked with a smile, "What good dishes are there in the cafeteria today? ”

“Roast duck!” Sun Hongxiu poked her head out from her busy schedule, “The earthquake killed several ducks, and they were all made into roast duck. Do you want some, Captain Yan? There’s still half a duck left. I’ll give you ten meal tickets in exchange.”

Yan Xinian didn’t expect that they had such good food here. He nodded and said, “Let’s exchange it. Heat it up.”

“Okay. We have a few egg pancakes today. They taste best when eaten with other dishes. Captain Yan, would you like two?”

Yan Xinian nodded again.

The onlookers, Xiaoheixiao, wanted to take advantage of the situation, “Captain Yan, I have a collection of first-class wine. Do you want me to give you some? Just give me a few bamboo shoots.”

Yan Xinian said seriously, “No way. This is the result of Xiaonong and Kongzhi’s hard work. You can ask them. "

The one who spoke was holding the cat in a panic.

Xia Mao glared at her and said, "Meow!"

It was obvious that she was unhappy.

Everyone said

, "Mom, it's time for the New Year." "

Sun Hongxiu quickly fried the bamboo shoots and put them on a large, exquisite porcelain plate. She also put the roast duck and egg pancakes on the same porcelain plate and put them in a large basket for them. Yan Xinian

went to school with Xia Huoqu at Nanxie Street School and took the two children home.

It was only a few steps from the canteen to home. When they got home today, the bamboo shoots were still boiling.

Xia Huoqu went to wash them. The dishes were taken out, and the water was shaken off. Two bamboo shoots were specially picked up and placed on Xia Lunong's plate to dry.

Cats have sensitive tongues and cannot eat hot food. Xia Lunong sniffed, smelling the fragrance of the bamboo shoots in the plate, and stepped on the left and right with his paws anxiously. If he hadn't been embarrassed, the whole room would be filled with his meows.

Yan Xinian took out the cups to pour wine for everyone, and specially asked Kong Zhi, "Kong Zhi, you are eighteen years old, right?"

Kong Zhi nodded, "I turned eighteen this spring."

Yan Xinian said happily, "Okay, pour you a cup too, let's celebrate. "

Xia Maomao couldn't drink and had no interest at all. While Yan Xinian was talking nonsense, he lowered his head and held the bamboo shoots in his mouth, trying to bite through them with his sharp teeth.

The bamboo shoots were completely fried and crispy. Even though his teeth were inconvenient, he easily bit them. The moment the bamboo shoots touched his teeth, the crispness of the fried bamboo shoots, the spiciness of the chili outside, and the sweetness of the insect meat all exploded in his mouth. He could clearly taste every layer of

the bamboo shoots.

The flavors of the bamboo shoots came together at first, and soon, these flavors blended together to form another unique delicacy.

The deliciousness of the bamboo shoots was wrapped in the hot taste. When Xia Maomao took a bite, his teeth were sore and soft from the hot taste.

He had to put down the half-eaten bamboo shoots in his mouth, licked his hot fangs, and looked at it with regret.

The expression on the cat's face was too rich, and Yan Xinian's hand was shaking with laughter, "You can't eat hot bamboo shoots in a hurry, Xiao Nong."

"Meow! "Xia Maomao's emerald cat eyes only contained the shadow of bamboo shoots. He listened to his old brother's ridicule without raising his head.

Seeing that he really liked bamboo shoots, Xia Huoqu took out a plate and put a few bamboo shoots on it, leaving it for him.

The three people at the table were chatting casually, all very relaxed.

Only Xia Lunong had her whole cat head almost buried in the plate.

Xia Maomao was the smallest and ate the most. Almost half of the bamboo shoots went into his stomach

. After moving the dining table, his belly was almost round.

His brother and his former brother went to the kitchen to wash dishes. Xia Maomao, who was really uncomfortable, had to ask Kong Zhi for help. He used his claws to pull Kong Zhi's hand to rub his belly.

Kong Zhi looked down at him and rubbed him gently.

Xia Lunong only felt that the warm hand rubbing his belly made him sleepy and made him feel hot.
