lady, please calm down

Chapter 53 The Wolf in the Mountains
The seventh day of July.

At breakfast, Cat and Hutou found two pieces of something they didn't know what to call in the plate.

One red and one white.

It was shiny and moist, and when poked with a finger, it trembled.

"Officer, what is this?"

After Chen Chu sat down at the table, Mao'er asked curiously.

"Jellies. The red ones are watermelon, and the white ones are goat's milk pudding."

Here Chen Chu was still explaining, the tiger head had already stretched out his head and took a bite of the watermelon jelly.

Then a gap was left, and even the teeth marks were clearly visible.

Mao'er tried to take a bite. It tasted like watermelon and was also sweet, but she had never experienced the QQ bouncy taste.

Delicious and fun.

"Officer, is this jelly made of cauliflower?" Mao'er remembered that Chen Chu boiled a pot of cauliflower for half a night last night.

"Ah."

"I don't want that agaric cauliflower to look weird, but it can make such beautiful food."

Under the morning sun, the red jelly was illuminated by the sun, and the surrounding tabletops were reflected red, which was very beautiful.

"This rock cauliflower is very useful. It can be boiled and boiled to make agar, jelly, pastry, and soft candy."

In addition, agar is also a clarifying agent and suspending agent in beverages and red wine. For example, the fruit particles in an orange can always be suspended in the middle of the beverage, which is the role of agar.

Agar is also a thickener and emulsifier in ice cream.

And preservatives, coagulants, stabilizers in the food industry
But these are not what Chen Chu values ​​most, what is important is that agar can be used as a bacterial culture medium in the laboratory!

Farming is inseparable from pesticides, and you don't have to think about rubbing chemical pesticides with your hands, but the 'biological pesticides' that already exist in nature are not completely impossible to produce.

For example - Bacillus subtilis, the 'king of bacteria' that is beneficial to crops.

But the cultivation of beneficial bacteria requires two prerequisites, one is high concentration of alcohol.

In the absence of disinfectant, the only way to build a relatively sterile laboratory is to rely on alcohol for disinfection.

The second is various culture media and liquids.

The agar processed from Geliflower is the best medium.

It's just that Tongshan is far away from the coast, and the price of ash cauliflower, which is too lazy to pick up at the seaside, is not cheap here.

After listening to Chen Chu's words, Mao'er asked again: "Officer, are these jelly and pudding going to be sold?"

"No." Chen Chu winked at Mao'er, and said in a low voice, "Today is my lady's birthday, I wanted to make you a birthday cake, but I was afraid I couldn't make it well, so I made jelly, a snack that you girls love to eat."

Even the elderly in their 50s and [-]s don't have the habit of "surviving their birthdays" in the fleeing village.

If Chen Chu celebrates Mao'er's teenage birthday with great fanfare, Mao'er, who likes to pretend to be sensible and cares about other people's opinions, should be terrified again.

The cat pursed her lips, and joy spread from the corners of her upturned mouth to the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

But then, Mao'er suddenly became vigilant again: "How does the official know that his daughter's family likes to eat this kind of jelly? Could it be that the official also made it for other women?"

".I mean, all the girls in our pride love to eat."

While the two were talking, Wu Kui came over, followed by his family's native dog named Rhubarb, and held a milk dog that had just opened its eyes in his arms, with black ears, black nose, and a fluffy ball.

"Brother Chu, the family dog ​​gave birth to a litter of puppies a few days ago, do you want to raise one?"

Before Chen Chu spoke, Hutou hurried over, tiptoed to look at the little meat ball, and quickly tugged at the corner of Chen Chu's clothes.

He raised his head and blinked his big eyes, looking pitifully at Chen Chu.

Signal: brother, let's raise it.

"You's rhubarb is yellow, why is his son this color?" Chen Chu took the dog and looked at it.

"Hey, this matter"

Following Wu Kui's narration, Chen Chu knew that in the apparently peaceful village, there had been a love triangle that violated human relations, er, dog relations, some time ago.

Kui Geer's family has a pair of yellow soil dogs, one male and one female. They grew up together since childhood. The two dogs can be called childhood sweethearts.

But more than two months ago, the bitch Cuihua went missing.

Wu Kui once thought that the dog's life was killed by a big insect in the mountains.

The male dog Rhubarb was very depressed for several days, howling every night.

Fortunately, after a few days, Na Cuihua returned to the refugee village alone from the forest.
Then, Wu Kui discovered that Cuihua was pregnant.

A few days ago, Cuihua gave birth to a litter of wolf cubs with gray fur, pointed ears and long mouths.
Well, during the few days when Cuihua went out, it turned out that she was going to have a tryst with a wolf!

Looking at the rhubarb chasing butterflies all over the yard, Chen Chu couldn't help sighing: "Silly dog, your wife gave you a cuckold, and you're still having fun!"
"Brother, what's the puppy's name!" Hutou took the milk dog from Chen Chu's hand, kissed and loved it, and Chen Hotpot, who suddenly fell out of favor, said "baaaaaa" resentfully.

"The housekeeper needs a domineering name, from now on it will be called Sangbiao! Chen Sangbiao!"

time.

Chen Chu led the red-maned horse down the mountain, and the Maoer and sisters sat on the horse's back.

In the Tongshan area, although horses are not a particularly rare means of transportation, the four-year-old horse donated by Ximen Gong is still only affordable for rich households and gentry.

Walking on the official road, if you encounter a woman walking or riding a donkey, you will always attract envious eyes.

Mao'er was uncomfortable being looked at by others, but he couldn't help but think of how envious he was when he saw the young lady and Xiaolang riding a horse in a sedan chair when he was in Tokyo.

"Miss, what do you think about the cheating of Cuihua from Brother Kui's family?" Chen Chuhu, who was leading the horse in front, asked.

"."

What can you think about this kind of thing?
Cuihua is a dog, and he doesn't know the three obediences and four virtues, so why should he be called unfeminine?
Seeing that the cat didn't answer, Chen Chu said again: "Lady, do you think the wolves in the mountains are responsible for this matter?"

"The wolf in the mountains is naturally responsible." Mao'er replied in a low voice reluctantly.

That's right, Cuihua can give birth to wolf dogs without a single slap, so the seduction of the wolf in the mountains is of course indispensable!

Chen Chu, who turned his back on the cat, shook his head and sighed, "Maybe the wolves in this mountain also have difficulties."

"What difficulties can the wolves in the mountains have?" Mao'er asked in confusion.

However, Chen Chu said in a sad tone: "Think about it, how could the wolf in this mountain hook up with Cuihua? I guess, the wolf in this mountain must have a female wolf who is not allowed to get close to him! The wolf in the mountain is lonely every night. I can't sleep, and I met Cuihua by chance, which caused it to make mistakes. Hey, the world will only blame the wolf in the mountain for attracting bees and butterflies, and showing mercy everywhere, but no one thinks how uncomfortable it is. , in fact, it is also very wronged."

The more Chen Chu said, the more sad and indignant he was, and Mao'er was stunned.

"Officer, no one blamed it? A beast knows a lot."

"Look, look, you said you didn't accuse others, you called them beasts!"

"Officer, what are you in a hurry for?"

"Am I in a hurry?" Chen Chu, who was blushing and thick-necked, raised his head.

"The official is obviously in a hurry, the official, did you just say the wolf in the mountain?" Mao'er suddenly had an epiphany.

"That's right! I'm talking about the man in the mountains!" Chen Chuli said confidently.

A family of three went out today just for fun.

After going northward for five miles, I saw a bustling market under the big locust tree on Shizipo from a distance.

The melon stand guarded by Yang Zhen and others was naturally the focus.

In the past few days, everyone around here knows that a kind of sweet and thirst-quenching watermelon is sold here.

Not only will the caravans buy a few of them when they pass by here, but even the people with extra money in Tongshan County will make a special trip to taste them.

Chen Chu deliberately lowered the price of the watermelon, and he could also cut it up and sell it in pieces, so that more people could eat the watermelon and promote it for him.

If it weren't for the implementation of the purchase restriction policy that each person can buy at most one piece, a daily cart of melons would not last long at all.

Under the tree, there is a small market for watermelons.

As a result, some clever farmers were also attracted. An old farmer was sharpening his knife, preparing to kill sheep and sell meat on the spot.

Selling mutton here not only saves the tax money and gate money in the cattle and horse market in the city, but also those who can come here to buy watermelons, at least belong to wealthy families, who just have the ability to consume mutton.

Simply serve multiple purposes.

Hutou sat on the horse and put his head into his sister's arms, unable to bear to see the sheep being killed.

The little girl was sad, how could Chen Xiaolang just sit back and watch?

So he took the initiative to come forward to rescue.

But because he didn't have enough money with him, he only saved two catties.
