Chapter 677 These Uneasy Adults! Dundun: I Am Emo, I Am Pretending! 【Additional Update 13】

"Xubao, did you eat a lot of wild vegetables when you were a child?"

In order not to delay the work in the big kitchen, Lin Xu brought the bag of Liu Sui to the small kitchen for cleaning, and took a set of photos to let netizens see the delicacies of his hometown.

While he was washing vegetables, Shen Jiayue came over and curiously asked such a question.

Lin Xu said:

"I often ate it when I was a kid. On the trees there were Chinese toon, Zanthoxylum bungeanum leaves, willow ears, elm leaves, locust flowers, and wild chestnuts. There were even more ones growing on the ground, such as Dipi vegetables, mother-in-law dices, shepherd's purse, wormwood, wild onions, and water celery. …”

Lin Xu's childhood home was actually in good condition. After all, her grandmother was still the principal of Chengguan Town Middle School at that time, and her parents also had formal jobs.

Every weekend, when you go back to your hometown with your grandparents or go to your grandma’s house, you can eat seasonal wild vegetables.

For the elderly, this is a way to remember and reminisce about eating, because wild vegetables are the basis for survival in difficult times and a life-saving straw.

"Wow, it's a pity that my grandma didn't do it when I was a child. It would have been great if I had gone to find you at that time. I would have eaten your food and been a child bride in your family."

Lin Xu smiled:

"Then you will be bullied by me."

"It doesn't matter who bullies whom. I've made several teachers cry in anger. Are you not as good as me?"

Lin Xu: "..."

There’s no need to show off, right?

He took the willow ears out of the pool, washed them clean, and asked curiously:

"Why are you crying in anger?"

"Because those teachers always said, this is the key point, we won't teach it in class. You can go to my house after class and I will explain it to you in detail... They blatantly set up cram schools and forced the students in the class to pay tuition. , I had no money, so I kept asking questions in class, and then we got into a fight. She also said that I was not a good student and she would never teach me again..."

Is there such a thing?

Lin Xu remembered that he never attended cram schools when he was a child.

Although I went to the teacher's house to study, I didn't pay any money, and the teacher never mentioned this - having a grandmother who is the principal is really different.

Lin Xu heated up a pot of water, put a small spoonful of peanut oil in the water, and prepared to blanch Liu Sui.

While waiting for the water to boil, he asked curiously:

"What happened next? Later, you were transferred to another class or were persuaded to quit?"

"None of them. I cried and went to see my grandma. She took a large group of students from Xiehe to the school for theory. It was the first time I saw my grandma being so fierce. She scolded the school leader so much that I didn't dare to reply... At that time, I didn't know that grandma and grandpa were there. The medical profession just wants to use this excuse to get some pocket money, but who knew it would cause such a big fuss."

The Shen family had no money, power or influence at the time, but the Han family had always had a very high status. It was a medical family, and there were students of the Han family in hospitals throughout the capital.

That's why Mrs. Han, a medical professor, was so angry when she heard that her granddaughter had been wronged.

Of course, she was not only trying to vent her anger on her granddaughter, but she was also angry because her daughter married a poor boy who never went to college and often relied on her parents' family for financial support.

Now her granddaughter is being squeezed out because she can't get any tutoring fees. How can she not be angry?

A medical professor's outburst still caused a lot of noise.

The teacher who bullied Shen Jiayue was quickly transferred. The new teachers took special care of Shen Jiayue and often asked her if she understood.

The reason for the big change in attitude was that everyone knew that Mrs. Han was a professor at Union Medical College Hospital.

This is a medical master who can't even give him gifts. If he establishes a good relationship with Shen Jiayue now, if his elder has a difficult disease in the future, he can take advantage of the student.

Compared with this, the one hundred and eighty yuan tuition fee for the tutoring class is nothing!

When the water boiled, Lin Xu grabbed two handfuls of willow ears and put them into the pot to blanch them. In order to make the willow ears heat more evenly, he also stirred them twice in the pot with a spoon.

"I'm just telling you, my baby is so good, how could he deliberately make the teacher cry?"

He praised Shen Jiayue, and when the water boiled, the willow ears in the pot became more green. He took them out with a slotted spoon, put them into the cold water next to them, and then started to blanch them in the next pot.

Shen Jiayue said with a smile:

"If you hate it, you will praise me. How can I be as good as you say...Xubao, why do you need to burn it? Can't you eat it directly?"

"Willow ears contain oxalic acid, which tastes bitter when eaten directly, so they need to be blanched. Moreover, if they are exposed to the wind and sun outside, spring in Beijing is famous for being windy and sandy, so blanching them will make them cleaner and taste better."

Theoretically, these blanched willow spikes can be dried in the sun.

Dry it and put it in a sealed bag. Take it out when you want to eat it. Soak it in cold water until soft like dried beans and sophora flowers. Wash it again. Then you can fry, steam, and fry it. You can eat it however you want.

But the amount is too small now, so don’t make it.

He thought for a while and said:

"Call our mother and ask her to collect some willow ears in Yinzhou, boil them and dry them in the sun, and prepare ten or twenty kilograms for us. Next time we go back, we can bring them back to make steamed buns and dumplings."

Shen Jiayue's eyes lit up:

"Can we still make dumplings?"

"Yes, this kind of ingredient is very versatile and delicious no matter how you eat it."

When Shen Jiayue heard this, she immediately took out her mobile phone, opened WeChat, turned to Chen Meijuan's account, and made a video call.

Soon, the video was answered, and Chen Meijuan's still beautiful face appeared on the phone screen:

"Mom, are you busy right now?"

"Mom isn't busy. What's wrong? Yueyue, is there something wrong?"

Shen Jiayue turned the screen to the rear camera, took a picture of Liu Sui who was blanching water, and said:

"We are eating this today. Do we have it in our hometown? Xu Bao would like something dry..."

"Yes, how come there isn't? We were eating your uncle's steamed food in the canteen today at noon, but it was so fresh... How much dry food do you need? If there is more, I will send someone to collect some from the nearby village."

Lin Xu took the willow ears out of the pot and said:

"It weighs twenty kilograms after it is dried in the sun. It can be eaten in a few days. Otherwise, it will become catkins floating everywhere. It is better to eat it."

Chen Meijuan agreed wholeheartedly:

"Okay, Mom will ask your Uncle Chunsheng to collect some now. There are willow ears at the gatherings and in the vegetable market in the town these days. We will dry out more later, and we will leave a few dozen kilograms for cooking."

After saying this, Shen Jiayue held up her mobile phone and went outside, showing her mother-in-law the half-remaining longevity peach as if offering a treasure.

"Shou Tao is delicious. When we go back, we will make it for our family so that everyone can try it."

"Okay, Mom is waiting."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted for a while before ending the call.

At this moment, Lao Suntou was holding a piece of noodle cake. While eating, he opened the map software on his mobile phone and looked at it, looking for a suitable place for fishing.

Aunt Sun was holding a small peach and stuffing it into the hands of Tongtong who had just returned from school.

However, this scene happened to be seen by Yu Hui, who immediately rejected Aunt Sun:

"Auntie, please don't give it to her. Tongtong can't eat sweets. Last time, the doctor said she had some tooth decay. This girl always keeps her mouth shut. Every time she talks about her, I get a headache."

As a teacher, I cannot teach my own children well.

This made Yu Hui feel inexplicably frustrated, and every time she quarreled with her daughter, she felt like she couldn't get over it.

He's only six or seven years old now. If he gets older later, he won't be able to reach heaven.

Aunt Sun said with a smile:

"How about having another baby? If I have a little one for Tongtong, she should stop making troubles."

Yu Hui shook her head after hearing this:

"No, before I gave birth to Tongtong, I told my husband's family that if the first child is a boy, then the second child will be necessary. If the first child is a girl, there will be no need for a second child."

Aunt Sun asked curiously:

"Why?"

"Because if the eldest daughter is a daughter, she will inevitably take care of her younger brother. When she grows up, she will be accused of supporting her younger brother... Having a younger brother is already a negative factor in the marriage for the woman, and I am afraid it will be even more serious when Tongtong grows up. I don’t want my child to be burdened with too much, as long as she is happy.”

When Tongtong heard this, she immediately became interested:

"Mom, can I not do my homework?"

"no!"

"Why? Didn't you just say that I am happy?"

"But if you don't do your homework, I won't be happy."

Tongtong: "..."

Adults are too cunning and don't keep their words. Why can't they be more mature like a second grader?

In the kitchen, Lin Xu took out the willow ears that had been blanched and cooled.

Form into a ball with your hands and squeeze out the water one by one.

Then divide the dishes according to the portions, one plate for cold salad, one plate for deep-frying, one plate for steamed rice flour, one plate for scrambled eggs, and another plate for stir-frying with dried chili peppers. Chop the rest and mix it into batter to make Liusui pancakes.

There is nothing else today, Liu Sui still has enough to take care of.

After the arrangements were made, he began to make them.

The easiest way to make it cold is to take a small bowl, put light soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, salt, sugar, minced garlic, chili oil, sesame oil and other condiments into the bowl, stir evenly, and then pour it into the willow ears.

Then, Lin Xu drained the water from the willow ears that were about to be fried, cracked in an egg, sprinkled a small spoonful of salt, and stirred evenly. Finally, put a handful of flour and a handful of dry starch, stir evenly, and let the willow ears be covered with flour. paste.

Heat the oil in a pan until the oil temperature is 60% hot. Place the scattered willow ears into the oil pan and fry.

Fry until the surface is browned and crispy, take it out and put it in a large colander to drain the oil.

Just when Shen Jiayue walked in, Lin Xu picked up a chopstick and handed it to her:

"Come and taste it. Do you like it?"

Shen Jiayue opened her mouth to eat, her eyes full of surprise:

"Wow, this is delicious. It's crispy on the outside, fresh and tender on the inside, and has a bit of meaty texture. It's so delicious. One more bite, I can't get enough!"

Lin Xu fed her another mouthful and continued to explode.

Shen Jiayue tidied the workbench and saw that there was still a lot of green juice left just now, so she asked curiously:

"Xubao, what should I do with this green juice? It would be a pity to throw it away. How should I eat it better?"

Lin Xu said without looking back:

"You can make it into a green dough, mix it into cooked glutinous rice and pound it all the time. Then add some fillings and steam it in a pot. It will taste super good."

So simple?

Shen Jiayue immediately became interested.

She went outside and asked the driver for some cooked glutinous rice, then went to the small kitchen, put it into the vat she had just used to pound the glutinous rice balls, poured in a little green juice, and continued to pound it.

There are many ways to make Qingtuan. Wheat is used in the north, mugwort is used in the south, and other plants are used. However, no matter how it is made, chlorophyll is used to color the glutinous rice, so that the glutinous rice tastes fresh and grassy. .

The names are different in different places, some are called Qingtuan, and some are called mugwort daddy.

The young couple were busy with their own business. Every time Lin Xu prepared a dish, Shen Jiayue came over with a camera and took photos of the prepared dishes using medium shot, close shot, close-up and other techniques.

When everything is done and the nine-square grid is distributed, friends on the Internet will be drooling.

Lin Xu cracked a few eggs and started making Liu Sui scrambled eggs when Shen Guofu and his wife arrived.

"Scientific fitness is good. I feel like my waistline has lost some weight in the past two days."

As soon as Lao Shen got out of the car, he started to prepare for dinner.

But Director Han, who was determined to let him lose weight, would not be easily fooled:

"Come on, I have to build muscle in the past few days, but you haven't lost any fat at all. How can you lose weight in your waistline? Since you have abdominal muscles, you can start to gain weight."

When Lao Shen heard this, he knew that he couldn't eat or drink much today.

But it doesn’t matter. I heard that my son-in-law brought a bagful of willow ears from Miyun. It seems that he hasn’t eaten much of this stuff. If it tastes good, eat more.

As long as you can eat enough, you don't need anything else.

Walking into the store, Dundun, who was sleeping, suddenly raised his head. When he saw his grandma and grandpa coming in, he quickly turned over and raised his tail to say hello.

"Meow~~~~~~"

Han Shuzhen came over quickly and held the little guy in her arms:

"Oh, my dear grandson, how did you feel about playing in the reservoir today? Don't be like your mother. She almost fell into the water when she went rowing in Miyun Reservoir when she was a child."

Dundun would naturally not do such a talented thing.

It swung its tail happily. It didn't expect Mommy to have such an experience.

While teasing the little guy, Tongtong came down from upstairs with her head in the air:

"Dundun, I'm here to play with you... The adults are so bad that they don't let me eat sweets, but they keep eating them. Even if I want to taste the taste of little peaches, I can't. It's so annoying."

Han Shuzhen said:

"You are losing your teeth. You really can't eat sweets... What are the little peaches you just mentioned?"

"Uncle Lin Xu made a super big birthday peach, and it actually produced a bunch of small peaches. There was almost no room for them on the table. I don't know what they taste like, sweet or salty..."

Han Shuzhen was a little surprised.

What kind of big peach gave birth to a small peach?

Lao Shen was still paying attention to his daughter's circle of friends. He clicked on it and showed it to Director Han:

"Baizi Shoudao, when we went to Bianliang one year, didn't we see it in an old-fashioned snack shop? At that time, you also said that you would ask the master to make one for the old lady at home when she celebrates her eightieth birthday... I didn't expect that our little one would Xu can even do this."

Director Han naturally remembered.

She teased Dundun for a while, then asked Dundun and Tongtong to play downstairs under the guise of going upstairs to have a look. Then she took her bag and went upstairs to taste snacks.

Lao Shen followed closely behind.

After the two left, little adult Tongtong sighed:

"Look, these adults forget about their children as soon as they have something to eat. They are not mature at all. It's really frustrating."

Dundun gently patted the little girl's head with her paw, trying to comfort her.

However, Tongtong continued to emo, chattering about her recent experiences, from school to home, from cooking to housework, as if she was worried about the family.

"The faucets can't be turned off tightly, the floors can't be mopped clean, and even though I bought a sweeping robot, I don't use it. I talk about waste while buying various things... Adults these days really don't make people worry at all."

Dundun frowned, as if her own mother was doing the same thing.

It sighed slightly and patted Tongtong's shoulder lightly with its paw.

The same world, the same worried mom~

Just as he was talking, Geng Lele came to eat after school. She heard that Liu Sui was to be eaten today, so she came from get out of class early.

Seeing Tongtong, she asked curiously:

"What's wrong, little Tongtong? You're frowning so tightly. Who owes you money?"

Tongtong sighed and continued to complain.

Soon, the emo duo turned into a trio, and the little mushroom head was also depressed by the emotions of one person and one cat.

Upstairs, Lin Xu fried the willow ears with dried chili peppers, then chopped all the remaining catkins, added two eggs, then added flour, added water and stirred into a batter.

Then add some salt and some chopped chives, stir evenly, and start spreading the pancakes.

"Are you ready, Xubao? My green dumplings have been steamed."

Shen Jiayue pounded out the glutinous rice, took out the remaining fillings for the peaches, wrapped them one by one, then made them as round as possible according to Lin Xu's instructions, placed them in a steaming tray, and started steaming.

Lin Xu said:

"Start as soon as these pancakes are laid out. You can serve them outside. Lele sent me a message before saying that she wanted to come for dinner. Check to see if she is here."

"Okay!"

Shen Jiayue took the dishes out and called Geng Lele. When she learned that the girl was downstairs, she asked curiously:

"Why don't you come up here to eat? There are quite a few longevity peaches left for you."

"Dundun is in a bad mood, I'm here to accompany him."

Bad mood?

Shen Jiayue put down the plate. At this moment, the black fish meat had been steamed. She took it downstairs and looked at the emo trio and asked curiously:

"What's wrong? The net suppressed the cloud?"

Tongtong said aggrievedly:

"I can't eat anything, life is so boring."

Geng Lele also looked sad:

“The mind that can never be finished exercising, the practice that can never be finished learning…”

After the two of them finished speaking, they all turned to look at Dundun.

Since emo is all about it, now it’s your turn to take a stand.

However, Dundun was paying attention to the black fish meat on Shen Jiayue's plate. Before he could reach the service counter, he raised his tail to greet her and rubbed Shen Jiayue's arm affectionately.

When the plate was put down, the little guy started eating. While eating, he didn't forget to nuzzle his mother twice to thank her for the meal.

Seeing Geng Lele and Tongtong looking at him, he shouted in dissatisfaction:

"Meow!!!"

What are you looking at? Hurry up and eat your food!

Do you think I'm emo? That's what I'm pretending to be. As long as I have food and drink, I won't have so many ideas!

Human beings, you have finally overestimated me.

Shen Jiayue looked at this scene. Although she didn't understand what was happening, she always felt that her son was playing tricks on the two of them.

She said to Geng Lele and Tongtong:

"Hurry up and eat, there are so many little emotions. When you are full, go to class when it's time to go to class, and do homework when it's time to do homework... I made a Youth League, and little Tongtong can have one later."

As soon as she heard that she could eat sweets, Tongtong immediately rebelled:

"I love eating Qingtuan balls so much. Sister Lele, hurry up and wash your hands. God damn you, I'm really tired."

Geng Lele:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

In the end, I was fucked by you?

It seems that there is still too little homework. If you are not busy tonight, you can print some thinking questions suitable for primary school students in the computer room and give them to Tongtong as a gift. She should be very touched, right?

Well, let’s do it!
