Chapter 76 The taste of home
The two sisters, one cooks the fire and the other cooks, the division of labor is clear and they can work quickly.

It was getting dark quickly, and the light rain outside had turned into heavy rain. Standing at the entrance of the courtyard, I could only see the sweet potato field ten meters away.

After the food was put on the table, Shen Qing brought the small oil lamp from the kitchen.

It was not easy for them to be with each other, but fortunately there was Old Man Huo. He didn't hold out his chopsticks. Probably because he was afraid that people would think the old man was dirty, so he just sat on the side and occasionally said a few words so as not to be too lonely. Huo Lin didn't dare to come over at all and hid. Drink sweet potato porridge at home.

Su Jing sat in the main seat opposite the door, and Shao Wenhong sat on his right.

After arguing for a long time, both of them were hungry.

Besides, there was no one else here, so Su Jing didn't need to pretend, but the food on the table didn't look very good. Only scrambled eggs with leeks and green and yellow were pretty bright, and the rest were pretty bright.

The dried fish stir-fried with green pepper smelled spicy, and the dried fish as long as a little finger was also complete, but he never ate it.

There was also a plate of dark meat, I didn’t know what it was.

"That's all?" When Su Jing hesitated, Shao Wenhong was already holding the bowl and started to eat happily.

Mr. Huo explained with a smile, "This is hare meat. It has been pickled with salt and will not go bad. It has also been smoked with straw. It has a smoky smell. There is nothing good for country people. If you put it all before, it would be useless during the New Year." If you can't eat it, it's all because of these two girls. Master, please eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold."

Although the hare flavor doesn't look good, the taste is absolutely right.

Shen Qing cut it, added seasonings, and steamed it in a pot. It was slightly salty and tasty, making it the best meal.

Su Jing frowned, but she saw a pair of chopsticks reaching over, picking up a piece with the thickest meat, and swallowed it in one bite. After a while, she spat out a small bone, "It's not salty, it's very fragrant. Try it quickly."

"Yes, try it quickly. There are also these eggs, they are the freshest." Seeing that he was not moving his chopsticks, Mr. Huo was anxious to pick them up for him.

The eggs must be fresh, naturally just laid.

Well...pulled from the chicken's butt.

I can't even think about it. I can't even begin to speak once I think about it.

"Cuckoo!"

In the end, Su Jing still couldn't resist the growling of his stomach. Besides, he also tasted the small fried chicken nuggets that Shen Qing sent earlier, and reheated it again. The taste was not good, but the sweet potato vines were good, crisp and refreshing, and the cold cucumbers were also good. It's acceptable. Unlike the complicated craftsmanship of the chefs, the dishes she cooks are very simple and very farm-style.

But there is one kind, what is there?

Su Jing tried hard to think of adjectives.

Probably...probably the taste of farm...home!

He finally moved his chopsticks, but half of the food on the table was missing.

Shao Wenhong ate very quickly. He finished two bowls of rice in a blink of an eye and wanted to fill up a third bowl.

Su Jing held her chopsticks and glared at him, "Are you starving to death and reincarnating?"

"Eating without words!" Shao Wenhong glanced at him, quickly scooped out a spoonful of rice, added two pieces of rabbit meat, and didn't forget to add a few small dried fish.

It is dried in the sun and deep-fried, so the bones break into pieces when chewed, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes.

Su Jing was discouraged and stopped worrying and started eating.

Tasting the wild rabbit meat carefully, his eyes lit up. He rarely eats strong-flavored things. His diet is always light, and he doesn't like strong smells in the house. He has tasted spicy fish nuggets before, and he feels that the food cooked by this shopkeeper is really strong. , from the perspective of doctor’s warning, it’s very bad.

But now look at the expression of Shao Wenhong, a dedicated doctor, he returned the words intact.Shao Wenhong was finally full, and he picked up the freshly brewed tea and newly fried melon slices to remove the oil and relieve greasiness. It felt so good.

"This person will inevitably get sick if he eats whole grains. This is inevitable, but don't be pretentious. Eat whatever you like. As long as it tastes delicious and full, don't eat hazelnuts. Eat eight pieces per meal. Eat your fill, go out and work every day, be exposed to the wind, sun, and rain. Don’t be short of anything, and you will naturally live longer, just like the pines and cypresses on the mountain. How do you compare with the pots of orchids in your house?"

Su Jing didn't answer and ate silently. He ate in a gentle manner, and even if he thought it tasted good, he wouldn't gobble it up. This was a habit he had developed since he was a child, and it was also a demeanor brought up by a wealthy family. From this point, you can tell that he The difference with Shao Wenhong.

Shao Wenhong grew up in the mountains, and later he traveled with his master to practice medicine, eating and sleeping in the open air. He had no manners to speak of, so he just didn't care.

"Is this young man a doctor?" Mr. Huo's eyes gleamed.

"Not bad." Shao Wenhong wanted to pretend to be sophisticated and stroke his beard a few times, but unfortunately he didn't.

Uncle Huo suddenly became excited, "Then can you help me take a look at my legs, my heart, this..." Anyway, nothing works.

Shao Wenhong was very generous, "For the sake of this meal, I will treat you for free."

In fact, the old man lacked food and clothing before. His life was too hard and his nutrition could not keep up. However, his foundation was still good. After this period of nursing, he has improved a lot.

Shao Wenhong retracted his hand and said calmly: "Wind-cold-dampness evil, which blocks the meridians and blocks the meridians, is called paralysis..."

Shen Qing leaned outside and listened, secretly curling his lips, it was rheumatism!

What he said was serious, and Uncle Huo was also very nervous, "There is a way to heal it."

"Have."

Shao Wenhong told him a recipe, considering that there might be no pen and paper here.

Rheumatism cannot be cured overnight. It is a difficult disease and cannot be cured.

Seeing that they didn't say anything special, Shen Qing returned to the kitchen.

It was already dark now. Normally at this time they would boil water to wash themselves and go to bed, but not today.

Shen Qing sat behind the stove, supporting his chin with his hand, staring blankly at the still extinguished fire.

Fortunately, the waiting time was not long, and the rain outside stopped, so the sound of a carriage approaching was soon heard.

There were two carriages and ten guards coming to pick them up.

The house manager and two guards, guided by Xing'er, came to the door of the Shen family courtyard. The door opened from the inside without knocking.

Shen Qing didn't want to welcome people in, so she hurriedly asked the two people to come out and sent them out respectfully. As soon as the two people stepped out of the threshold, she took two steps back, closed the door and bolted it with a fake smile.

Unfortunately, the courtyard wall was low and the dilapidated wooden door could not block much. Even if the door was closed, she could still hear clearly.

Shen Qing secretly thought that when he got rich, the first thing he would do was to build a house. He would buy all the land and build a three-foot yard.

Alas!No, three entrances to the courtyard require too much money, so it’s better to build two entrances first, leaving space, and then build a bigger one when you have more money. She wants to build Crescent Bay into a paradise, and she also needs to build more in front. A stone bridge, the kind that can be used for horse-drawn carriages.

She thought far ahead, but now, Su Jing looked at the door that was closed mercilessly behind her, and twitched the corners of her mouth twice.

Shao Wenhong was also speechless and touched his nose. He was still thinking about whether he should reward her with two dollars to pay for cooking. Since she was so determined, it just saved money.

But Su Jing obviously didn't think so.
