Chapter 30
Then she heard this delicate girl say: "Boss! You're back! This is the type of feed chosen by the children of Pig King's family, and their suggestions. Do you want to decide now? "
The three of Du Jiao who thought there would be a dialogue between "A Hua and A Qiang" said: "Boss?"
Zhou Yang: "Ah, her name is Hu Shanshan, and she is responsible for the maintenance of our piglets."
Du Jiao's face suddenly became a little strange: "...the care of the piglets?"
She couldn't help but think of Zhou Yang who invited her to dinner on the eve of graduation and then talked with her about the dark history of raising chickens, ducks, geese and pigs.
In vain, she has always cared about Zhou Yang. After seeing him just now, she still had an inexplicable sense of security and wanted to get closer. Now, seeing his strange attitude towards women, Du Jiao felt that all the charming thoughts dissipated. It's much better.
Hu Shanshan noticed Du Jiao's subtle hostility, and before she had the same fighting spirit, she saw the other party's eyes turned friendly, and there was a touch of... sympathy?
Pity each other?
Hehe, Grandma Hu San still needs a human yellow-haired girl to sympathize with?
Although she was disdainful in her heart, but Zhou Yang was present, she definitely wanted to save face: "I am a doctor!"
This is the character design that Zhou Yang set up for her at the beginning, but by accident, it hit Hu San's face-saving and vanity point, especially immersed in the eyes of the villagers looking at Xueba, and even more immersed in the character design Inextricable.
Zhou Yang also cooperated with her: "Well, she is very good at raising cubs."
Anyway, it is impossible for Du Jiao and the others to really ask to see Hu Shanshan's bachelor's degree certificate if they are doing a full set of plays. Even if they really want to see it, both Hu Shanshan and Huang Da are masters of illusion.
The three of Du Jiao were shocked—they originally thought that Hu Shanshan's so-called maintenance of piglets was because she was a village girl, but who knew she was actually a doctor?And as a Ph.D.... ran to the countryside to raise piglets?
And Zhou Yang didn't feel like he was overqualified at all, as if it was only natural for her to raise piglets.
For a moment, there was an indescribable expression on their faces—even if this delicate girl was arranged to raise animals, she should be some kind of snow-white rabbit, right?
Piglet feed or something...
"Are you hungry? My mother and the others have already made some pumpkin balls with fermented glutinous glutinous rice. Let's eat some to fill your stomachs, and I'll give you something to eat in the evening."
Zhou Yang's words directly dispelled their feelings of pity and sympathy, and they swallowed their saliva and followed. After the delicious food, the beauties had to stand back.

Fermented glutinous rice balls, as the name suggests, is a simple sweet soup made with fermented glutinous rice and pumpkin balls.
Rongshu Village is not very rich in glutinous rice, so a small field is usually left to grow glutinous rice, which is basically used by the family—either to eat glutinous rice, or to eat glutinous rice balls, or to make fermented glutinous rice.
Every housewife in Rongshu Village can make fermented glutinous rice.
After washing the jade-white glutinous rice, put it in a large iron pot on an earthen stove, and steam it with a rice cooker until it is half-cooked. This is glutinous glutinous rice.
If the glutinous glutinous rice is steamed for a longer time, it will become glutinous rice, which can be eaten directly or used to make glutinous rice cakes.
The rice cooker is a cooking utensil in every household in their area. The outside of this kind of rice cooker looks like an unremarkable round trapezoidal wooden barrel that is placed upside down. It is usually only forty or fifty centimeters high, but the top and bottom are different. What is open is not closed.
The bottom is supported by an inward and upward slightly arched cone made of bamboo strips to prevent the rice grains and other ingredients on the top from leaking, and also use the gaps and holes between the bamboo strips to let the steam rise to cook the food.
Even though iron pots, antimony pots, and pressure cookers are popular now, the older generation still likes to use this steamer to steam rice.
In this way, the rice steamed with firewood stove and wood not only has the original rich and mellow flavor of the rice, but also has a "by-product" that is not available in rice cooked in electric rice cookers and pressure cookers - milky (white) (thick) fragrant rice soup.
After eating, have a bowl of rice soup that is so thick that it can almost hang on the wall.
After the glutinous rice is steamed into glutinous glutinous rice in a large earthen stove, it is mixed with yellow-brown koji, placed in a stainless steel basin, wrapped in a thick quilt, and fermented in a warm and dry place.
After about a day and a half, the fermented glutinous rice juice can be precipitated.
The fermented glutinous rice juice settles in the lower part of the basin, while the previously heavy glutinous rice becomes soft and light, covering the upper part of the basin.
Therefore, if you want to use fermented glutinous rice juice, you usually use chopsticks to poke a few holes in the surface of the rice, and then use a spoon to filter it out.
The freshly fermented fermented glutinous rice juice tastes mellow, sweet, and has very little alcohol content. It can be drunk alone like rice wine (so it is also called Jiuniang in other places), or it can be eaten with the juice and fermented glutinous rice. You can also add other The ingredients are boiled into a sweet soup.
This is the case with the pumpkin wine stuffed meatballs.
Compared with glutinous rice, the price of pumpkins is much lower, especially after the beginning of spring, you can dig a few holes and insert pumpkin seedlings on random field ridges, edges of open spaces, or small hillsides, and you don’t even need to bother to fertilize them. , Take care of it, wait two or three months before you can eat it.
However, most of the pumpkins at this time are green-skinned tender pumpkins, which are only suitable for cutting into thin shreds. Mix garlic and red chili peppers and stir-fry to form a pumpkin shreds.
After another two months, when enough rain and sunshine have been absorbed, the green pumpkin will turn into a golden old pumpkin.
Although the old pumpkin is not as crisp and tender as the green pumpkin, it is very soft, glutinous and sweet. Whether it is used for cooking soup, cooking porridge, cooking dry rice, or as a side dish for absorbing oil under steamed meat like potatoes and sweet potatoes, it tastes delicious. All are top notch.
Even, because the pumpkin grows too wantonly every year, unless the family is really too poor to open the pot, the villagers will select some old pumpkins that are not so sweet or not so glutinous based on experience, and dig out the pumpkin seeds (after all, pumpkin seeds It is also a very fragrant snack) and then chopped up at will to feed pigs.
Of course, the pumpkin used to make pumpkin balls must be sweet and glutinous.
The steamed pumpkin meat is mixed with sugar, kneaded with glutinous rice flour in a one-to-one ratio until it does not stick to hands, and then wrapped in fillings and sealed like glutinous rice balls.
After the water in the pot is boiled, put the fermented glutinous rice into it and continue to boil, then add the prepared pumpkin balls, and when the water boils again, you will have a steaming bowl of fermented glutinous rice balls.
In order to welcome Du Jiao's three guests who came from afar, Granny Zhou generously added two poached eggs to each bowl.
The poached eggs are directly knocked down when the pumpkin balls are half-cooked. The high temperature and the movement of the water flow make the poached eggs round, white and lovely.
"Yang Yang, Wei Ge, you can eat and serve yourself. Yang Yang, you are the blue bowl, don't make a mistake." The reason why I specifically asked this is because Zhou Yang doesn't particularly like sweets, so his bowl of fermented glutinous rice Pumpkin balls are small balls made directly from pumpkin mixed with glutinous rice flour. There is no filling and they are much smaller.
But in Zhou's mother's opinion, the pumpkin balls without fillings are not sweet enough to entertain guests. After all, the fillings are filled with a lot of sugar and lard.
☆☆☆
In fact, the rare sugar and lard in Rongshu Village may be very greasy to people in other cities.
Especially for a delicate girl like Du Jiao, who is from a wealthy family, she has to count the calories for every bite of meat on weekdays.
But it may be that the long-distance trek has been bumpy for several hours without serious meals, or although the memory has been blurred, the psychological residual shock has not completely disappeared, and sweetness and high calories are urgently needed to comfort.
Originally, it was hard to be kind but she only planned to eat as much as possible. She took a sip of the sweet soup first. After the thick and sweet soup entered her throat, her taste buds were instantly opened.
It is obvious that reason is telling myself not to overeat, but my body is no longer listening, and I take one bite after another.
The glutinous rice flour itself has no taste. It can even be said that the taste is only bland except for being soft and glutinous. Even if pumpkin is added in it, it can only be regarded as a delicate fragrance.
But with the sweet bean paste filling, the fragrant sesame and peanut filling, combined with the unique, slightly drunken aroma of fermented glutinous rice, it forms a perfect bowl.
Unknowingly, Du Jiao ate a round belly.
Du Jiao didn't realize that she had eaten a whole bowl of pumpkin balls until her stomach gave out a warning of fullness.
Swallowing a small burp quietly, she looked at the two poached eggs that were the size of a baby's fist left in the bowl - what to do, she couldn't eat much.
She usually pays attention to her health, and eats at most eight percent full, but this time she is almost full.
☆☆☆
"Oh! This local egg! It's delicious! It's even better than the local eggs that my family specially ordered from the farmhouse!" My cousin Hu Youhua exclaimed from the side.
He also ate the pumpkin balls first, but boys eat a lot, and they are just full after eating a big bowl, so there is room for some more, not to mention these small, one-by-one eggs?
It was just to fill his stomach, so he ate it—he thought that even the native eggs laid by the native chickens raised in the farmhouse were not as good as the ones they ordered from the farmhouse, right?
After all, they are local eggs that cost five yuan a piece, and they are VIPs among the local eggs. Many rich people and big hotels order eggs from there.
However, after he ate it in his mouth, he heard a crisp sound of slapping his face—because the egg yolk was not cooked for too long, the egg yolk was just solidified, and the egg white was as smooth as bean curd. Pay attention, before he had time to chew, he slid from the tip of his tongue to his throat, and then entered his stomach with lukewarm softness.
How can it be so delicious!
He regretted swallowing it like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit just now!
Du Jiao's eggs were ordered from the same place as Hu Youhua's. Hearing this, she also tried to scoop up a poached egg and took a bite...
Well!
☆☆☆
Hu Youhua quickly got rid of his two poached eggs. He was embarrassed to ask for it again, so he turned his idea on his cousin - he knew how small his cousin's appetite was, let alone two eggs. More than half of that bowl of fermented glutinous rice balls had to be left.
Although they usually eat their own food, but this is the kindness of the elders, what a pity to waste it, right?
As a cousin, he should reluctantly help her eat.
As a result, when she turned her head, she saw Du Jiao holding a bowl that was almost as big as her face, and she was already drinking the last sip of soup.
Seeing that Zhou Yang's classmates ate every last drop, Granny Zhou and the others all smiled.
Especially when I heard Guo Jinzhao's praise, I was even more happy: "These are eggs laid by the chickens fed by Yang Yang. Otherwise, it is better to read more? We used to raise chickens free-range, and I only think that the eggs laid here are better than The single egg in the feed has a strong taste and is delicious, but Yang Yang readjusted the chicken feed ratio in the past two months, and every day he let the chickens out for running circles, and weighed each one... Trouble is trouble, But this taste is really better than before! Whether it's eggs or chicken!"
The little girl Tian Jinfeng bit the egg and her voice was crisp and sweet: "It's delicious! Brother is the best!"
Granny Zhou has already entered the state of boasting about her grandson, and she can't stop the car: "There are still people who eat that sesame and peanut stuffing. We used to use more sugar and oil, the better, but Yang Yang Leng made a ratio." , not to mention choosing the plump black sesame seeds, each one must be fried until fragrant, and then ground finely..."
"I'll cook (chicken) meat for you tonight!" The taciturn Grandpa Zhou worried that these young people would not like to listen to the old woman's nagging, so he interrupted quickly, "Yang Yang bought a steamer a few days ago and was planning to use it Make steam pot chicken and eat it."
oh!Steam pot chicken!
The three of Du Jiao who were listening to it subconsciously swallowed their saliva - obviously they were full, why did they get hungry again after hearing it?
After eating and drinking enough, everyone looked at the time, and there were still more than three hours before the normal time for dinner. Zhou Yang considered that they were exhausted—the most important thing was that they had yawned for two days, and their eyelids were about to fight.
Thinking that in addition to physical exhaustion, they should also have dealt with ghosts mentally, and their vitality was damaged, so they advised them to make up for sleepiness.
The three of them were a little embarrassed, but they were indeed yawning and tired, so they went to bed without too much excuse.
Mother Zhou and the others prepared empty houses in advance—there are not many other things in the countryside, but there are many empty rooms.
Du Jiao lived in Zhou Yongli's room, and she slept with Zhou's mother and Zhou's mother-in-law for the past few days.
Zhou Yang gave up his room to Hu Youhua and Guo Jinzhao, while he went next door to Grandpa Tuesday to make do for a few nights.
On Tuesday, the twin brothers of my grandfather's family are one year younger than Zhou Yang, and they are all working out of town, so the room happened to be empty.
After Hu Youhua and the others fell asleep, Zhou Yang asked Hu Shanshan to touch their foreheads one by one——Grandma Fox's cub-care skills are not only applicable to piglets.
The author has something to say: I don’t understand what’s going on these two days, the published chapters have to be reviewed by the Internet and high-level Internet review...
I consciously didn't write any hs...
Sensitive words can't afford to hurt, I feel that many words have to be separated by brackets...
I hope this chapter will not encounter the previous situation.
