Food, drink and merrymaking in another world

In the days that followed, Linda became extremely busy. Almost every family that grows potatoes would come to ask questions about farming from time to time. Because of his kind and patient attitude, even the villagers who did not grow potatoes liked this young man very much. , often came to ask questions, and even women who came to ask for cooking advice began to ask him personal questions as they talked, which made him very embarrassed.

As a result, he had almost no time to cook. Nazgray had the biggest opinion on this. He felt that he was neglected, and the barbecue he had promised before was also missing, which made him very unhappy.Linda also knew about this situation recently, so he simply tried to teach Durotan how to cook in his free time. Although he was still a child, just at the age of playing, he was obviously more reliable than the rest of the family.He first taught Durotan to identify various seasonings and foods, and taught him the relevant reasonable combinations, and then taught him to control the size of the heat. Finally, after practicing many times, his cooking skills have greatly improved, although not as good as Linda's cooking is full of color and fragrance, so it's passable anyway.

Linda heaved a sigh of relief. With Durotan sharing the burden of cooking, he felt a lot easier.

The temperature in spring has been good, so a week later, the potato sprouts broke through the ground. When the first villager saw Linda excitedly, Linda hurriedly put down his rice bowl and followed. Nazgray took two mouthfuls of rice in a hurry , followed suit.

When he came to the field, Linda took a closer look and found that there were sprouts of potatoes. He counted them, and almost half of the potatoes that had been planted in this field had sprouts.This was a good sign. He went to look at the land of other families and found that some land had no movement, and some only had a few.It's only the first day now, maybe it will come out in two days.Linda thought optimistically, and comforted the villagers who came after receiving the news.

A few days later, other potatoes sprouted sprouts one after another. Linda and many villagers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.The luck this time was really good, the final germination rate was 8%, which is already a very high number for those who planted this kind of plant on a large scale for the first time.

In the following days, Linda was busy teaching everyone how to fertilize, kill insects, and water. In his spare time, he occasionally cooked a meal. He didn't even have time to continue making the bamboo lounge chair for Bikong, so he put it aside.They are often so tired that they fall asleep as soon as they enter the door, and they don't have time to eat. In less than a month, they have lost a lot of weight, which makes Bikong and the others very worried.Nazgray did a good job during this time, silently helping Linda clean up and reminding him to eat as much as possible. If any villagers came to Linda during the meal time, he was the one who asked Linda to leave after eating.

Bikong once asked Linda about the past in the city, and Linda said to him apologetically, "Father, depending on the situation, I can't leave until the potatoes are harvested. I'm really sorry. Why don't you wait until this winter and next spring?" Can you go again? I am really worried about the village." Bikong smiled understandingly, and patted him on the shoulder: "I know you are a serious and responsible person, don't apologize to us, we should be the ones who are sorry, you are right There are too many things to do in our village, and you have been so busy recently that you can't help much, it really makes people feel guilty." Linda didn't care and said, "It's a great kindness for Dad to save me. Just do something small for everyone, it should be, don't be too polite." Bikong was so moved that he didn't know what to say, he could only try his best to hunt more prey with Nazgren, go to the city to exchange money, and buy some food that can supplement the body's nutrition Feed Linda.

The days flowed like passing water, and before I knew it, 6 months had passed, from spring to summer, the weather began to be sweltering, and there were thunderstorms from time to time, but the harvest season of potatoes was also here.Linda counted the days, because the world here has 24 months, and the current November is almost equivalent to the end of July on the earth. The hot and dry weather also gave the insects a good time to develop. Yelling desperately gave the children a good opportunity to play.

Bikong and Egurea no longer go hunting, because the meat of the prey is easily spoiled at this temperature after being killed.Only every few days, Nazgray went out to catch a few howls, stripped them and put them in the refrigerator.Forest took this opportunity to rest and recuperate. The food and savings at home were enough for them to survive the winter, so they didn't have to worry about eating. Besides, Linda still had a lot of gold coins, which he had privately shown to Bikong a few months ago. Wealth, of course, is also mentioned about the ring.Bikong thought that the money belonged to Linda, and asked him to keep it. He was the head of the family, so he naturally had to shoulder the burden of the family, and there was no need for a child's money.Linda was very moved. He decided to put away the money first, and when he moved to the city, he would bear the expenses of the family.

On the harvest day, the whole village went out together to help dig out all the ripe potatoes. This year, under Linda's guidance, the potatoes grew very well and harvested a lot.The villagers were very happy and held a bonfire celebration party in the square. Linda taught the housewives how to cook potatoes. Everyone brought out their own good wine and food and drank to their heart's content. The children also drilled among the crowd. Eating and looking around, very happy.

Linda also taught everyone how to preserve and keep seeds to cultivate sprouts. As for the fact that sprouted and green potatoes are poisonous and cannot be eaten, he taught everyone when they were planting at that time.

After the villagers ate potato stew and french fries, they all fell in love with this kind of food. The villagers who hadn’t planted it before regretted it, so when Linda announced that they could continue planting, almost everyone in the village sent out I got a representative and went to the village head to ask for the distribution of fields.

But this time it has nothing to do with Linda, because with the first planting experience, the village head can also guide everyone.Linda has been busy for the past few months, and he has lost a lot of weight. If it wasn't for the fact that Nazgray gave him the green fruit every time, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on.

Now that she was finally free, Linda decided to treat herself well.In the past six months, he has not only been running outside, he has grown radishes at home twice, and he has eaten a lot of amaranth.The soy sauce tank in the yard is already the second batch. The soy sauce in the first tank is full of three big jars. The first time it is put in the stew, everyone is full of praise. Now it is one of the common seasonings for barbecue and stew. one.

Linda also experimented with bean paste, which uses cheek beans. Although it is slightly different due to the lack of some seasonings, the taste is still very good, especially when used for cooking, it is very fragrant.Durotan really likes spicy tofu with bean paste, which is more delicious than meat, while Ruby likes fish with bean paste, even Linda himself likes it very much.

He had nothing to do today and was wondering if he could get something delicious. Just as he was thinking, he heard someone knocking on the door outside the courtyard: "Is Eros at home?" He went out and opened the door, and saw that it was Fast's father, He was holding a bunch of fish, seeing that it was Linda, he hurriedly stuffed him with the branch in his hand, and handed him a bamboo basket on his back, saying: "Thank you very much for taking care of our family Fast, and Potatoes are enough for us to eat for a whole summer, and the braised fish you taught your children to be fucking delicious is also very delicious. And this kind of bamboo basket, thank you for teaching us how to weave. We don’t have much, and you probably don’t care about potatoes. , I went to catch some fish today, the ones in the bamboo basket are very good, that’s all, thank you!” After finishing speaking, without waiting for Linda’s reaction, he turned around and left quickly.

Linda was a little dazed, and before he realized what was going on, he stretched out a hand behind his back, took the fish and the bamboo basket, opened the bamboo basket and looked at it, and said, "Ah, what is this?" His tone was very strange .

Linda turned around, saw that it was Nazgray, ignored him, looked at the bamboo basket, and saw a big soft-shelled turtle inside, stretching its neck and spitting bubbles.He smiled: "This is called soft-shelled turtle, it's delicious, and it's a great tonic." Nazgrey closed the lid, pulled Linda up and walked to the kitchen: "That's right, I made it for you to make a tonic, look at it recently How thin have you become? What if there is someone good or bad? I am still waiting for the barbecue you promised a few months ago."

Sighing, Linda thought that this guy had improved a bit after such a long time, but he was still a foodie.He walked into the kitchen unhurriedly, processed the fish, and took a large piece of mutton from the refrigerator that Nazgray had caught the day before yesterday.Since there are fish and sheep, let's have a fresh pot.The soft-shelled turtle is stewing soup, which is a bit too nourishing. Judging from the fact that this world is more developed than the things on the earth, I am afraid that the effect is not good at all.

Kill the soft-shelled turtle, let it bleed, put it in hot water at 8o for a while, take it out and let it cool, then cut open the abdomen, take out the internal organs, wash and chop them into pieces. The skin hangs off, be careful not to touch the skirt, this is the most delicious part.

I took a piece of ham, sliced ​​it, soaked the dried mushrooms and sliced ​​it, put it in a crock pot with the soft-shelled turtle, sprinkled onion, ginger, garlic and seasonings, added water and started to simmer, it took about two hours to simmer.

Find a clean cloth, put the seasoning in it and sew it up.Boil a pot of boiling water, put in the mutton, boil over high heat, skim off the foam, then put the seasoning bag in, and stew the meat over medium heat.About an hour later, Linda poked it with a fork, and the meat was almost crispy, so he took it out and put the soup aside for later use.

Fry the previously processed fish until golden on both sides, and set aside.Take a soup pot, pour in the soup just now, pour in the mutton and fish and cook for more than 20 minutes, wait until the soup turns milky white, add salt and start the pot.

Linda tasted it secretly, and it was indeed worthy of the two fresh ingredients, which were really fresh and delicious.Linda fried shredded potatoes and cabbage in vinegar. The main food was the quick-frozen steamed stuffed buns made earlier.

When eating at noon, everyone sighed while eating, and Egurea repeatedly praised that the good days are finally back.The fish and mutton soup was very popular, Ruby drank two bowls of soup alone.As for the soft-shelled turtle soup, since everyone hadn’t tasted it much, some dared not put down their chopsticks. Linda was the first to eat it, but not many people accepted it. The children thought it was too fat. Old people think it tastes weird.Nazgray and Quez didn't matter, but because Nazgray kept in mind to replenish Linda's body, he took a lot of it for him.Linda had no choice but to prevaricate it with words such as "emptiness and no supplement". He only ate a few yuan and drank a bowl of soup, and let the two guys eat the rest.

After the meal, Linda brought out the homemade fruit salad as usual. Rebby clamored for ice cream, but Linda patted his head and threatened that worms would grow from his stomach if he ate it after the meal. I yelled, and covered my stomach and sat obediently to eat fruit.

Linda took a sip of the fruit tea, and lay down on the recliner that Nazgray "generously" let out, enjoying the coolness leisurely under the shade of the tree.I always feel as if I have forgotten something, Linda thought so, put the tea on the coffee table aside, rocked the recliner and looked at the sky, and gradually fell asleep.

Linda had a dream. He dreamed that he was still on the earth, and he was climbing a mountain with his friends. When he got to the top of the mountain, he received a call from his parents. He laughed loudly and reported his location to his parents. Suddenly, the scene changed and he was sitting At the dining table at home, my mother is bringing food from the kitchen, and my father is sitting by the side, holding a bottle of white wine to pour for him. The scene changes again, and he is sitting in a coffee shop, opposite a beautiful girl, drinking a sip of coffee , was about to speak, and suddenly found that the girl turned into Nazgray, took his hand and said affectionately: "Honey, when will you give me a child?" She was yelling in shock: "I am a man, so I will give birth to you." I won’t get pregnant!” Seeing the other party pointing at his belly, he said, “But look, the belly is so big, it’s about to give birth.” He lowered his head and found that he had turned into a woman, his belly was bulging like a balloon, and he was about to give birth. Lying on the bed, he was frightened to death, beat the edge of the bed desperately and said: "I don't want to have a baby!" Seeing his parents and friends in front of him, looking at him with ferocious faces, and rushing towards him, he shrank into the bed , fell into an embrace, and when he turned around, he saw Nazgray looking at him with a smile: "Where's my barbecue?"

With a cry, he woke up, sweating profusely.He sat up and looked around. Durotan was cleaning up the rabbit's excrement, and Rabbi was helping, with a serious face.Bikong and Egurea are playing pool, while Quez and Nazgray are watching.There is a wind blowing, bringing bursts of coolness, everything is peaceful and beautiful.

Linda's cry made them all look at him, and Nazgray came over and asked with concern, "What's the matter?" and wiped his sweat for him.He pushed his hand away, and said with a flickering expression, "I had a nightmare, I'm going to wash my face." He still remembered Nazgray's appearance in the dream, it was really terrible, how could he have such a dream.He fetched a basin of warm water, stuffed his head in it for a while, then raised his head and wiped it with a towel.

Well, I must have been too tired recently to have this kind of ghost dream.Linda washed the towel and hung it up, pouring out the water.He decided to take it easy and relax.It was quite long in the afternoon, so he picked up the fishing rod and decided to go fishing by the river.Nazgray wanted to follow subconsciously, but Linda stopped him, saying that he wanted to be alone for a while.Nazgray had no choice but to stop watching the game and lay down on the recliner in a daze.
