Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 63
Before Cheng He and Jiang Yutong finished speaking, Cheng Xinxin was already beside him impatiently.

She looked up at the transparent cicada on the tree, curious how it got there.

Seeing that her father was still chatting, she couldn't help but whimpered beside her: "Dad, hurry up. Dad, hurry up..."

Seeing her like this, Jiang Yutong really felt that he disturbed her and took away her time.

So as soon as the topic was over, she hurriedly left.

As soon as she left, Cheng Xinxin became even more impatient, urging her father to quickly get the cicada off.

When the yellow-brown transparent cicada fell into her hand, she asked curiously, "Dad, why does the cicada shed its shell?"

The shell of a cicada is its protective shield, which not only protects it from injury, but also because the shell will not grow, which limits the development of body size, so it has to be shed.

These are things she can only understand when she is a little older, but at this time Cheng He can't just say: You will know when you grow up.

This is too perfunctory, and children will feel it.

He said: "Maybe cicadas are more beautiful, like changing clothes frequently?"

The little girl immediately asked: "Then is this shell its clothes? I like baby cicadas, they love beauty, and I love beauty too. Hee hee..."

Cheng He followed with a smile, there was really nothing to do with the child.

In fact, cicada shells are a kind of traditional Chinese medicine. When he was a child, he often looked for them on trees, and made a bunch of them to sell for money.

And live cicadas are also a rare delicacy.Deep-fried cicadas are also a famous dish in some places.

Cut off the claws and wings of the live cicadas, dissect the belly to remove the viscera, put it in a bowl, add soy sauce, sugar, chili powder, monosodium glutamate, green onion, ginger slices, mix well, and marinate for 10 minutes until it tastes good.

Then heat the oil pan, put in the cicadas and fry until the shell is soft and remove. When the oil temperature rises to [-]% hot, put in the cicadas and fry until the outside is crispy and the inside is tender. Remove and drain the oil, put it on a plate, and sprinkle with Pepper, topped with sesame oil, a plate of delicious dishes is ready.

Knowing that it is rich in protein, low in fat, and contains some trace elements, it is very nutritious.

Cheng He sometimes wondered, if Jiang Yutong made a plate of deep-fried cicadas and served them on the table when she came to dinner, how would she react?
I don't know if she will scream in fright, but her follower wants to laugh but dare not laugh. Just thinking about this scene makes people laugh!
As the sky darkened, Cheng Xinxin asked Cheng He to light up her dragon lantern, and she followed the shadow of the dragon lantern and ran all over the small courtyard.

Early the next morning, Cheng He and his daughter had breakfast and prepared some outfits for going into the mountains, when they heard a knock on the door.

Jiang Yutong and Li Tao were already waiting outside.

Cheng He was carrying a big bag with a lot of things in it.

Jiang Yutong asked: "Are you going to carry something into the mountain?"

Cheng He nodded, and said: "Not much, not much, it's just a small pot, and it can be used in the mountains."

In addition to a pot, there is also his bamboo basket and a hatchet.Anyway, going all the way into the mountains is not for nothing, and you can harvest any harvest you encounter at any time.

The thief is not empty-handed.

He noticed that there were a few more people around Jiang Yutong, maybe she called them over again.

It doesn't matter, he just took them into the mountain, it's the same if there are more or less.

Cheng Xinxin put on her flowery skirt and flowery straw hat, thinking that she was the most beautiful little princess.She pouted and asked, "Dad, where are we going?"

Cheng He said: "Let's... go camping again?"

"Okay, okay, it's Dad... I want to tell you something, if I fall asleep while camping later, remember to wake me up, okay?" Cheng Xinxin said childishly.

"Why?" Cheng He asked.

"Because, I want to see camping! I fell asleep last time and didn't see anything."

Cheng He was speechless. What did this girl think camping was?Can you see it?
It seemed that no matter how he explained it, it couldn't change her inherent understanding of "camping".

What a headache!
The road to Xiaolian Mountain starts from the road behind Taohua Village again.

First of all, you have to go through some messy mountain roads before you can reach the boundary of Xiaolian Mountain.Fortunately, today is a light car and easy to follow, unlike the last time when I entered the mountain, I collected herbs while walking, so I walked a little faster.

Cheng Xinxin was still the most excited. Sometimes she was excited when she saw the little flower, and sometimes she was also excited when she saw the bird, as if seeing it for the first time.

Li Tao still said little during the whole process, and followed Jiang Yutong with peace of mind.

He just tentatively asked why he didn't take the mountain man with him on this trip, Jiang Yutong readily agreed and found a reason to take him - because he can kill wild boars.

Joke, can you meet a wild boar every time?

Anyway, Li Tao felt very uncomfortable.

There is no man who can tolerate the goddess in his heart and have a good conversation with other men, even if he has learned a lot of gentleman etiquette.

Some things are yours, and others can't touch them.

A group of people headed towards the mountain in silence.

During lunch, Jiang Yutong and her teammates ate bread and milk, which they probably brought from outside.

Cheng He and his daughter ate rice cakes.

Cheng Shi's family made new ones last night, and he took some to make dry food today.

With this large group of people, he was too embarrassed to make some barbecue and make everyone wait for him.

Jiang Yutong was very curious, what did Cheng He do with a pot?If it's cooking, I don't seem to have seen him bring a stove.How to cook then?
However, she also has her own things to do, using professional measuring instruments along the way to record various data.Some geographical locations are very special. She also added a paragraph to describe them, and then accompanied them with photos.

The people she brought were also recorded from different angles.Entering the mountain seems to be leisurely, but in fact it is quite busy.

At night, people who have walked the mountain road for a day can no longer walk, and it is getting late, and work can no longer be continued.

Jiang Yutong greeted everyone: "Let's call it a day. It's just that we're going to spend the night in the mountains. Like last time, everyone should be careful, safety first, you know?"

At this time, Cheng He heard that this girl still has a hint of leadership.

Everyone listened to her arrangement and began to set up camp, preparing to eat the dry food they brought with them.And it was only then that he realized that the girl had been living in the farmhouse in Taohua Village, not just for fun.

Cheng He walked to a small stream not far away, ready to try his luck, pick a fish or something.

There were a few clumps of bamboo growing next to it, so he casually cut one as thick as a finger and sharpened the other end.

There were rocks protruding everywhere in the stream, and he jumped onto a relatively large rock that could allow him to stand on both feet.

In the evening, it was time for the fish to come out to take a breath. He stood still on the rock, and saw many fish swimming around, and the water surface was rippling, as if it was raining lightly.

It's not, it's just the air bubbles that the fish spit out.

Seeing the right time, Cheng He's eyes were sharp and his hands were quick. When the bamboo tip stabbed, a fish swayed and struggled on his bamboo tip.

Magic hand!Jiang Yutong's new group of people cheered secretly when they saw the mountain people performing sticklebacks for the first time.

With this kind of ability, you won't have to worry about food when you enter the mountain.

No wonder this guy is still carrying a pot, at this time only he can drink fresh hot soup.

Everyone chewed dryly the bread they brought, feeling more and more tasteless and unable to chew.
