Lijia Village is not big, but it is not small either. It has a strong "communication ability". I told the aunt the Douyin account this morning. After following each other, now basically most of the villagers know about it.
Many people came to like it. Some people who don't know how to write texts also asked others to help leave messages.
This is not unrelated to the good foundation that Li Xiang had laid in the intelligence group before.
Of course, there are also people who gossip, such as Li Jintang's family. It was Li Jintang's wife who secretly said that if Li Xiang got Caier pregnant, it would be. Naturally,
this word also spread to Jiang Caier's parents, and the old couple was really angry. However, they were not targeting Li Xiang and Caier, but those who talked behind their backs.
Not to mention that Li Xiang and their daughter are like siblings, even if they are really together, they think it is not unacceptable. Li
Xiang has good character, looks handsome, and is also a college student. Although Li Xiang's family is a little poor, they are not the kind of snobbish people.
They will marry their daughter in the future, not sell her. As long as the daughter likes it, the man she finds is really good to her and has no flaws in character, then she can accept it.
Li Xiang and Jiang Caier went home. Along the way, they met many aunts and grandmas. They were both sweet and greeted enthusiastically. Everyone cheered him on!
This touched Li Xiang.
In the big city, no one knows each other. Every day, they go from one place to another, live in a single room that is too expensive, and work like a cow and a horse. I don't know how I got through those days. It's better to go back to the village!
After returning home, Li Xiang asked Jiang Caier to do her homework at home first, and he took the Gaomi knife to the bamboo forest in the back mountain.
If you say you want to get Caier something delicious, then you must get something delicious. Get something that you can't eat anywhere else, and you can't buy it even if you have money!
He came to the "Second-level mutant creature Golden Thunder Bamboo" marked before, picked the outermost one, and immediately waved the Gaomi knife. With a "click", the bamboo as thick as a bowl broke.
Looking at the blade again, it is still bright and sharp, without the slightest gap or curling.
Li Xiang likes this knife more and more.
If it is made into other styles, it may be a controlled knife and cannot be taken out, but this is a chopping knife, a farm tool!
The end of the world has not yet arrived, and no extraordinary particles have emerged. These golden thunder bamboos only have potential and will mutate in the future. At present, they are still ordinary bamboos.
Moreover, as long as the roots of bamboo are still there, it can grow again.
Usually Li Xiang is reluctant to cut it, isn't there a distinguished guest?
System: "Congratulations to the host for cutting down a second-level golden thunder bamboo and getting a surprise reward: three first-level exotic grass snow skirt white jade fungi."
Three are too few, Li Xiang made up his mind and cut down three more plants in a row, harvesting twelve first-level exotic grass snow skirt white jade fungi, which can be considered a dish.
Can't cut it anymore. If it is really cut down, it will be a big loss. Take it slow and wait for it to grow slowly.
This mutant spiritual herb distributed by the system may be distributed directly to the system warehouse from the future or another dimension. It is genuine and of good value. Jiang Caier will benefit greatly from eating it. Maybe it can also improve her mental strength and intelligence. When she takes the college entrance examination the year after next, she will be able to get better results.
As for the cut bamboo, drag it back and throw it in the backyard, and it can be used to make many things.
Afterwards, Li Xiang drove to the town to buy vegetables and treat guests to a meal. Two or three dishes are definitely not enough, at least seven or eight.
On the way, he passed a temporary market, which was opened in a small forest on the side of the road. The people who sold and bought vegetables were farmers from the surrounding villages. Because the town and the county town are far away, such a place was created.
It is not available every day. If it rains heavily, there may be no one.
Li Xiang was lucky today. He saw someone selling live fish. He said that he had just caught it from the river last night. There were black carp and crucian carp. Li Xiang bought a few.
Seeing someone selling mutton, which was also freshly slaughtered, very fresh, and with a light smell, Li Xiang bought a few pounds and also bought a section of lamb ribs.
The Miao people actually have many taboos, such as not eating mutton, beef, pork, dog meat, chicken blood, chicken liver, chicken legs, etc., but Jiang Caier does not. After all, she is not a pure Miao girl. She has half Han blood and is a woman of the new era.
Her mother may have it, but Jiang Caier doesn't care about it.
Apart from other things, the school she attends is mostly Han, and the school cafeteria has a relatively small variety of dishes. If she really cares about it, she will starve to death. Even if she doesn't starve to death, she will be malnourished. If
she can't keep up with the physical strength, her academic performance will definitely be affected.
Li Xiang bought a few more pieces of tofu. Seeing that it was almost done, he didn't need to go to town anymore and went back directly.
When he got home, it was almost time, so Li Xiang started cooking.
In the newly built semi-open kitchen in the backyard, the light was brighter and the environment was cleaner.
He learned to build the wood stove by himself. It was pretty good after burning for a few days, but I don't know how long it can last. Anyway, even if it collapses, just build another one.
Jiang Caier helped on the side, and her grandmother helped to add firewood.
Adding firewood is also a technical job that requires rich experience. There are rules for when to burn more vigorously and when to burn less.
Grandma made the fire, and Li Xiang didn't need to remind her, he could always get the heat to his satisfaction.
The first dish was braised black carp.
Wild black carp, fresh ingredients, cut a few cuts on the fish after processing, wash and set aside.
Pour a proper amount of rapeseed oil into the pot, and when the oil is hot, put the fish into the pot and fry until both sides are golden. This step is to make the fish skin crispy and remove the fishy smell.
Then stir-fry the seasonings, leave the bottom oil in the pot, add the sliced ginger and garlic slices, add the chopped green onions, and stir-fry until the fragrance comes out.
Pour a proper amount of water (the amount of water covers the fish body), add cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar and salt, and serve after the soup thickens.
Li Xiang's cooking skills are still very good. After serving, the color, aroma and taste are delicious, making people salivate.
The second dish is crucian carp tofu soup. The stewed soup is as white as milk, delicious and calcium-supplementing, suitable for all ages. One of the techniques is to stew over high heat. The stronger the fire, the whiter the soup. The firepower of the Li family's wood stove is naturally needless to say.
The third dish is boiled mutton. When it comes out of the pot, a handful of dried red peppers cut into small pieces are sprinkled on it, and then poured with hot oil with pepper and pepper to make it fragrant. It is simply fragrant.
The fourth dish is the hardest dish: stewed pork ribs with the first-level exotic grass Snow Skirt White Jade Fungus.
Because of the use of first-level spiritual herbs, the aroma of this dish is very different from the other dishes. When Jiang Caier helped to serve the dishes, she couldn't help but take a deep breath of the aroma: "Brother Li Xiang, this dish is so fragrant, I'm drooling!"
Li Xiang smiled: "If it smells good, eat more, it's considered support for Brother Li Xiang!" "
I didn't expect that you are good at cooking, brother. I remember that you didn't seem to be so capable before, haha."
Li Xiang explained: "I worked outside and cooked for myself every day, and I practiced it." After all, it is not easy to live in a big city. Save as much as you can. It costs a lot to eat out every day.
Moreover, after the end of the world, fewer people opened stores, and almost all of them cooked by themselves. In this age of uncertainty, going out is fraught with danger, and how can you expect to order takeout?
