The farm cook is very prosperous

Chapter 2
The porridge is ready, with the bright green wild vegetables, it looks the same as before but it is a little different, and there is a faint aroma.Chun Niang took out the roasted sweet potatoes and brought them to the front room.

Just as Mrs. Li and Huzi got up, "Mother, Huzi is coming over for breakfast soon." Chunniang greeted after setting up the bowls and chopsticks.

"Chun Niang, how do you cook this porridge? It tastes really good. Why is it also wild vegetable porridge? It doesn't taste as good as yours." Mrs. Li asked Chun Niang suspiciously while drinking the porridge.

"Mother, it's actually very simple. After the water is boiled, put it into the pot to cook the rice, so that the pulp will come out quickly. When the porridge is cooked to almost ripe, then put the cut wild vegetables and salt into the pot at the same time, and use the porridge temperature to cook it. , the porridge produced in this way is not only soft, glutinous and sweet, but also can reveal the fragrance and crispness of wild vegetables." Seeing that Mrs. Li is slowly getting interested in cooking, she knows that she wants to learn, Chun Niang also said it carefully.

In the past, Chun Niang liked to think about how to eat delicious food. She had cooked a lot and spoiled a lot of food at home. Aunt Li also had a headache about this.What made Aunt Li feel gratified was that after Chunniang recovered from her illness, her cooking skills had improved a lot, and she became much more sensible and well-behaved.

Mrs. Li used to think she had some confidence in her cooking skills, but later her family was in a bad situation, and she could only cope with it. She always thought that it was hard for a pretty woman to cook without fire, but she had eaten Chun Niang's cooking a few times. After the thing, I don't think so anymore. The same thing, after Chunniang's hands, can be wonderfully written, and I am ashamed.So whenever there is a chance, I will grab Chun Niang and ask about it, and I will keep it in mind later.

"Well, sister, I also think it's delicious, I want another bowl." Regardless of whether it's hot or not, he drank it all over his mouth.

"Huzi, slow down, no one will grab you." Chunniang smiled and helped Huzi pick up the rice grains from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing the family happily sitting together, there is a sense of happiness and satisfaction spontaneously.

The sun shines through the dense branches and leaves, and the ground is covered with sparkling spots the size of copper coins. In the depths of the woods, Chun Niang is holding a sickle in one hand and busy picking spring ears in the other. A breeze blows past, bringing a burst of coolness. .

"Huh..." I wiped the fine sweat from my forehead with my cuff, and looked at half of the baskets of spring ears in the bamboo basket. There are almost enough harvests here, and it seems that I have to look elsewhere.

Suddenly seeing a black thing on a tree in front of me, I couldn't help being elated. It was actually a bird's nest, and I could see a little white inside, like a bird's egg.

It was so wonderful, Chun Niang, who was full of anger, immediately unloaded the bamboo basket and jumped up the tree, touched an egg in the bird's nest, and took all six white eggs in one go, and held them in her hand. Huanhuanxi watched it for a while before putting it into his arms.While thinking about today's dinner, he continued to walk deeper into the woods.

There are lush grass and trees on both sides. Chunniang saw white spots in the tree holes in the distance. When she got closer, she was shocked. It turned out to be Hericium erinaceus. There are nearly half of the small ones.It's really great, with this thing, the lives of my mother and my brother will be better.

Hericium erinaceus, shark's fin, bear's paw, and bird's nest are also known as the four famous dishes.Hericium erinaceus is an incomparably delicious mountain delicacy. The meat is fresh and tender, mellow and delicious, and it is known as "vegetarian meat".Chunniang carefully picks some larger Hericium erinaceus with her hands, finds a few fresh big leaves, wraps them and puts them in bamboo baskets.The little ones will come to pick them in about ten days, so we can't rush to kill the chickens to get the eggs.

The mountain forest is really quiet, only a few bird sounds are heard occasionally. After walking for an unknown distance for a while, my calves are a little immobile. I stop to rest, and I seem to hear the sound of gurgling water in my ears.Hearing the sound of water, he felt that his throat was on fire, and he was so thirsty that he followed the sound of water and walked along the rugged mountain road.

The first thing I saw was a large bamboo grove. I turned around in the bamboo grove, and there were indeed bamboo shoots. The bamboo shoots were already a little big at this time, and the taste should be pretty good. It would be great if there were meat.Traveling here, wanting to eat some meat has become a luxury, why can others time travel to become rich and rich, and make rice worms, why am I so sad, look at my small body, my complexion is a little yellow, Typical malnutrition, you have to find a way to supplement it as soon as possible.

Chunniang restrained herself from thinking about the meat, she could cook soup and eat it at home, she quickly dug a few big bamboo shoots, put them into the bamboo basket, and continued to look for water.

Passing through the bamboo forest, I saw a big mountain. At the foot of the mountain, there was a natural stone cave. The cave door was not big enough for only one person to pass through. Because of the natural cover of the bamboo forest, it was difficult to see clearly from the outside.

Driven by curiosity, Chunniang cautiously and slowly explored the way. The road in the cave is going down. The bright light not far away attracts Chunniang's forward pace. , Chunniang's mood became more and more excited.

When she arrived at the water pool, she threw herself directly to the edge of the water, scooped up a handful of water with her hands, and drank a hearty meal. Her strength seemed to have recovered all of a sudden, and then she sat by the water and began to look at the water pool. It is just the entrance and exit of this natural blessed land.This place is really not as big as usual. That water pool should be a lake, and the blue waves are rippling and crystal clear.

Chunniang took out the two pans that she brought in the morning from her bosom, sat on the floor, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery here while chewing.It is surrounded by mountains and shaded by green trees. There is a waterfall about ten feet high on the mountain opposite the lake, which cascades five times in a row.On this steep mountain, appearing in sequence from top to bottom, the speed of the water flow varies with the height and the mountain, sometimes turbulent and sometimes soothing, not only conquering your eyeballs, but also releasing your voice, it is simply a paradise.

A little further on the surface of the water, there are more than a dozen small fishes about a foot long swimming in it.I saw that the fish was long, slightly flattened, with a conical head, blue-green back, silver-white abdomen, and light red tail fin. They were chasing each other. Never seen it.

A true food lover should not only master how to cook food, but also have the spirit of exploring new things (that is, eating or not eating). , Chunniang still despises those food critics who can only talk but can't do it.

We can also swim, but the fish will run away if we swim past.Chunniang looked at the whitebait in the water, and was thinking in her mind that the poor whitebait was being watched by someone.

Chunniang cut off a few branches from a nearby tree, and slowly polished the barbs on them with a sickle. Anyway, I must get some fish today. See if the sun is a little bit in the middle. Chunniang rolled up the cuffs and trousers Slowly wading down the lake, holding a javelin in his hand, and throwing it into the water, only to see the water surface churning. After the water wave passed, a fish with a branch tied to its body floated on the water.
