Chapter 100: Being Alone During the Holidays
With this matter in front of us, don't say that Chen Miaomiao is taking the lead in the future. Even if she is really in trouble, she will not help!

……

The next day was still rest time. Lu Miao got up early, packed up all the things he bought the day before, packed some of them, and then prepared to go out with the bamboo basket and parcels.

Ren Bingxin saw her and asked her, "Miaomiao, what are you doing?"

"What else can you do?" Lu Miao calmly shook his things and said, "Find someone to eat with you and improve the food! Just take care of yourself today, don't wait for me!"

Everyone in the educated youth spot knew that Lu Miao was having a meal with a member of the team, and Ren Bingxin didn't pay much attention to it.

"Go early and come back early. It's rare to have a good rest."

"I understand~ Just get busy!"

Lu Miao chuckled and ran out of the house happily.

The busy farming season has just passed, and not only the educated youths had a holiday, but Fu Jingyou also rarely took a two-day holiday for himself.

Yesterday he arranged to go to Yanji, and today he thought Lu Miao was coming, so he simply waited at home attentively.

She originally thought that Lu Miao would not arrive until ten or eleven o'clock in the morning at the earliest, but how could she have expected that she would already be actively reporting at the backyard gate before nine o'clock?

At that time, Fu Jingyou was working in the vegetable patch in the backyard. The tomatoes he had planted earlier had turned red one after another in the past two days. As he was picking them, he saw Lu Miao coming in from the back door carrying large and small bags.

Fu Jingyou stepped out from the vegetable field, "Why did you bring so many things again?"

"It's inconvenient for educated youths. They don't have the chance to eat these." Lu Miao disagreed. "They always say that there is a child trend in the south. I was afraid that it would be bad, so I thought about bringing it here to eat together."

"Go inside first, put down your things and sit for a while."

"Ah."

The two of them entered the house one after another, and Fu Jingyou asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

The kitchen furnishings are basically as they were when Lu Miao arrived. The lounge chairs, small tables and benches are all "regular guests".

"Not yet." Lu Miao shook her head and took off her things one by one and placed them on the small table. "I'll come over after I get up and pack them up."

Fu Jingyou was happy for a moment, but after that moment, he suddenly became restrained again.

He was secretly annoyed. He had never been like this before, so what happened today?
After standing stupidly at the door for a long time, Fu Jingyou reacted belatedly and walked towards the stove eagerly. This meant that he wanted to get something to eat for Lu Miao. Lu Miao was quick and sat on the small bench to catch him in time:

"Hey, stop it, I won't eat it!"

After that, he took back his hand and pulled open a bulging cloth bag on the small table, and grabbed a few toads that were as dry as tree twigs and dried them out.

Lu Miao looked at Fu Jingyou with bright eyes: "I have this. It's good stuff. You can help me peel it and soak it, and we can eat it together!"

Fu Jingyou squatted down at the table, picked up two dried toads and looked at them carefully, "Are these good things?"

Knowing that he had not been exposed to this, Lu Miao said: "It's not found in the south, it's only found in the north. Does Northeastern know about it? Northeastern forest frog!"

That's right, Lu Miao brought all the forest frogs he bought from Geng Xiaoyun here.

It's a pity that Fu Jingyou has only been to the county seat as far as he can go. In addition, in this era of limited information, people are not so particular. Lu Miao talked for a long time, but Fu Jingyou still looked confused and couldn't understand.

Lu Miao got angry and kicked Fu Jingyou lightly, and said angrily: "Snow Hag, have you heard of Snow Hag?"

The corners of Fu Jingyou's lips raised, and he rarely showed a few neat teeth when he smiled. He looked naive and overly honest: "Just tell me how to do this, and I will do it."

Lu Miao gave him a look that was both charming and angry, and asked him to take away the things on the small table to make some free space, and then asked him to bring a clean bowl.

Lu Miao took the lead in picking up a dried toad and handled it in front of Fu Jingyou as if guiding him.First breaking off the two hind legs, and then pulling off the shriveled and wrinkled front legs, Lu Miao looked attentively and with nimble fingers, she pinched the head and tail of a toad in her hand, and soon only the main part was left.

Carefully peel off the crispy outer skin, and the yellow rock sugar-colored snow clam oil and black frog seeds gradually emerge.

"See this?"

Lu Miao carefully picked out the black frog seeds.

"Ah."

Fu Jingyou nodded.

Lu Miao dabbed some frog oil and said, "This is the seed of the forest frog. You can't have this. We only want this part."

"When a toad is dried, there won't be much left. You peel it off this time, you peel it off that time, and you still don't want it? Is that all you need?"

Fu Jingyou also ordered some frog oil in the bowl.

Lu Miao laughed out loud. She usually saw too many of his cold faces, but now she was happy to see his troubled and depressed expression. "How about saying that snow clam oil is soft gold?"

Fu Jingyou raised his eyes when he heard this. Lu Miao looked at him, nodded slightly and continued to explain:

"The Northeastern wood frog is also called the snow clam. Even though they look similar to toads, you might think they are the same thing. This one is only found in the Northeast."

"Eggs are laid in April and May. The adult frogs will hatch in May and June and will migrate up the mountains. In September and October, they will come down from the mountains again and spend the winter in low-lying streams and rivers, even under the ice. Still alive."

"Usually we catch them when it's cold."

Fu Jingyou nodded.

Speaking of which, wood frogs are indeed different from the toads and frogs here.

Where can you see the shadow of toads in winter here?

Even if you dig three feet into the ground, it won't be possible.

When it comes to unknown areas, Fu Jingyou listened carefully and his expression was serious. Lu Miao felt that his behavior was very different from usual, and he couldn't help but laugh a few times as he spoke:

"Fresh Rana eats seeds and meat, but dried Rana like this only needs oil."

Fu Jingyou nodded and took notes silently in his mind, "Then how do you get this toad oil now?"

"What toad oil? It's disgusting! It's for food after all, can't you say it nicely?"

Fu Jingyou said: "Then how do you eat this snow clam oil?"

Only then was Lu Miao satisfied. She dried another toad, took out the frog oil and put it into a bowl. Seeing that the amount in the bowl was almost full, she took the bowl to scoop out water from the bucket and soaked it in the frog oil.

"That's it. Soak it for two hours first, then remove the black impurities in the middle after it's soaked a little."

Fu Jingyou was a little confused and asked: "Are you doing this to eat now? Haven't you had breakfast yet?"

"I would like to eat it, but the snow clam oil cannot be soaked in a short time. The impurities in it will be gone after a while, and I have to continue soaking it!"

After hearing this, Fu Jingyou said: "Then we won't be able to eat for a while, so what are you doing with it? It's a waste of effort and food."

"It's a bit hard work, but why waste something?"

Lu Miao pouted unhappy: "I can't eat, can't you eat later? Besides, I'll teach you how to do it, so when I come back next time, can't you prepare it in advance?"
