Ye Lanzhou quickly got up from the bed, opened the curtains and looked into the courtyard. The moonlight was bright tonight, and he could barely see the situation in the courtyard.

After opening the window and looking around, Ye Lanzhou saw a small black figure on all fours beside the chicken coop.The black figure looked over when he heard the sound of him opening the window, his pair of bright blue eyes were like a wild ghost in "Liao Zhai".

Ye Lanzhou was taken aback, and quickly realized: this size should be a dog.Is it a wild dog from the neighborhood to steal the chicken?

The nylon net was very strong, and Ye Lanzhou pressed a circle around the lower edge with a stone. Given the size of this dog, it couldn't get in or tear it apart, so Ye Lanzhou wasn't in a hurry to go down.

When he came to the first floor, he saw that the door of Gu Xilou's room was also open and the lights were on. After saying hello, the two walked towards the chicken coop together.The dog seemed to be afraid of people, and when the gate of the residential building was opened, it almost jumped out like a phantom.Only then did Ye Lanzhou understand: the wild dogs got in through the back door.

The back door of the courtyard seems to have been made by a carpenter, and it is not tightly closed after closing. There are staggered gaps where the wooden door is close to the ground.In addition, the back door uses a wooden latch, and outsiders only need to use a little effort to push open a small crack. People cannot get in, but small dogs can get in.

And the dog must have been very familiar with it knowing this place and sneaking in.Is it a pet dog left by the previous owner?Or the wild dogs that came in when the house was vacant?

Ye Lanzhou thought that the black shadow on the mountain that he saw the day before yesterday should also be this dog.It was also crawling in and out of the yard at that time, coming in at night to spend the night, and running to the mountains to hide during the day.A few days ago, the black dog came late and left early, and it was silent, so he and Gu Xilou didn't notice it.Tonight, there was an extra brood of chickens in the yard. Although the roosters and hens were blind at night, they felt dangerous and crowed restlessly. That's when they discovered it.

Now the black dog has got out of the back door, and it should have run to the mountain, and I don't know if it will come again in the future.The black dog disappeared, and the roosters and hens were quiet.Ye Lanzhou looked at his phone, it was past one o'clock, so he said to Gu Xilou: "The dog is scared, and will definitely not come again tonight. Go back to sleep."

All the way back without a word, each sleeping peacefully.

On the second day, just as dawn broke in the sky, the loud crowing of the little rooster broke the silence of the yard and woke up Ye Lanzhou and Gu Xilou.

After washing up, Ye Lanzhou started to make today's breakfast, thinking that there was still pork belly left, so for breakfast, he simply made S City Xiaolong, which is soup dumplings.

After taking the meat out of the refrigerator to defrost, Ye Lanzhou started kneading the dough.The noodles of soup dumplings are dead noodles, so there is no need to ferment them.But in order to make the dough look better and more firm to eat, Ye Lanzhou likes to add hot noodles, that is, semi-hot noodles, when kneading noodles.Hot noodles are mixed with hot water, and half hot noodles are mixed with hot water and half with cold water.

Using cold water in the dough will make the finished pasta more chewy, and using hot water will make the finished pasta softer.Therefore, the pasta made from half-hot noodles has both chewiness and softness, neither too gluten nor too soft.

The traditional small cages in S City follow the principle of "thin, four fat and one fat", but Ye Lanzhou only has pork belly, and the ratio of fat to thin is close to one to one or even two to one.In order to understand the greasy and fishy taste of meat, Ye Lanzhou added soaked minced vermicelli and cabbage, chopped green onion and minced ginger to the meat filling.

In order to make the finished soup more juicy, some soup dumplings also add pork skin jelly when stuffing.Ye Lanzhou didn't have pork skin jelly made in advance, so he chose to add water-rich vegetables—cabbage—to get out the water, and vermicelli to absorb oil.

After steaming for 12 minutes and then stuffing for 2 minutes, the steamed buns are cooked through.Ye Lanzhou started to make dipping sauce: In order to taste the Xiaolongbao better, dipping sauce is a must.

For example, Ye Lanzhou himself likes to dip vinegar when eating Xiaolongbao. It would be even better if a little chili oil can be added to the vinegar.When making delicious chili oil, you need to add a variety of spices. Ye Lanzhou simplified the ingredients and picked existing ones such as star anise pepper.After the chili oil is out of the pan, let it cool to room temperature, add a little salt, and you will have a bowl of fresh, spicy and spicy chili oil.

There is a saying that "the worst food in the world is the food that forgets to put salt".Salt is the first of all flavors.Even if it is fish and sheep that make up the word "xian", no salt is added when eating meat, even if there are many other seasonings, it will not taste amazing and delicious.

When Ye Lanzhou was renting a house, he did not add salt when making chili oil for the first two times, and it tasted tasteless. Later, he checked the tutorial on the Internet and found out: salt is needed.

He directly moved the big steamer to the table, Gu Xilou had already set up the bowls and chopsticks, Ye Lanzhou brought the vinegar bottle and chili oil, and let Gu Xilou choose whether to add spicy or not.After sitting down, Ye Lanzhou first added vinegar and a little chili oil to his plate, and after admonishing "Be careful of burning", he couldn't wait to pick up a small steamed bun.

There are more than 20 pleats, the skin is pink and translucent, and when you pick it up, the soup will drop down from the bottom of the bun.Ye Lanzhou took a small bite first, blowing off the hot air and inhaling two mouthfuls of the soup, then put the dough dipped in the dipping sauce and stuffing into the mouth together, chewed it a little, and the mouth was full of fragrance.The vermicelli that has sucked up the broth is mixed with meat and vegetables, which is fresh and springy, and there are some carbohydrates and sweetness.

Each Xiaolongbao has a bite size for an adult, and Ye Lanzhou made a total of 50.Unexpectedly, after eating the last xiao long bao, I still feel unsatisfied, and I always feel that I can eat another 50.

Seeing that Gu Xilou had also put down his chopsticks, Ye Lanzhou couldn't help asking: "Are you full?" He almost didn't pay attention to eating just now. After he finished eating, he did a little calculation and found that he had eaten more than 20, and the other 20 were naturally the result of being caught. Gu Xilou solved it, and it can be seen that the speed of the other party's chopsticks is not much slower than his own.

Gu Xilou seemed a little hesitant, but finally nodded.

"Oh." Ye Lanzhou only thought that he had a big appetite, and started to clear the table. After explaining how to use the dishcloth and detergent, Gu Xilou went to wash the dishes. He was going to build a greenhouse and dig a fish pond.

Ye Lanzhou stood for a while, and the master who dug the fish pond arrived first.The excavator climbed up the road, and when it was about to drive up the mountain road, it turned into Ye Lanzhou's field.One person got off the car to direct, and the driver began to dig the soil, and all the excavated soil was piled into the open space in the middle.

The digging was in full swing, and after a while, the builder also arrived in a blue pickup truck.After Ye Lanzhou and the masters in charge handed over the location of the greenhouse and communicated clearly about the details, the masters started to work.

The solar greenhouse is built on the innermost side of the mountain wall, and the light will be poor, but after completion, it can be supplemented by fluorescent lamps. It takes half a month to a month from the beginning of construction to the completion.During this period, Ye Lanzhou doesn't need to watch every day, just watch the progress from time to time.

Digging fish ponds is much faster and can be completed on the same day with an excavator.However, the dug fish ponds must be sterilized and fertilized, and then used after several times of water storage, otherwise the water will run away after being put in.Moreover, the mud at the bottom of the pond is turbid, and the fish fry thrown in will lack oxygen.

After calculating that there was still time after the completion of the project, Ye Lanzhou began to prepare for plowing and sowing.It's only September now, which is the time to plant winter wheat. Good wheat seeds should be available in the town, but there are still some miscellaneous equipment that the town doesn't have. Ye Lanzhou is going to shop online, so he needs to find someone to lead the network cable for his home first.

Just in time to buy some electronic products such as desktop computers... Ye Lanzhou has been thinking hard since he hasn't touched a computer for more than a week.In the past, except for sleeping, his life has never been separated from the computer and the Internet.

"Do you want to go to town together? I just bought you a mobile phone." Ye Lanzhou called Gu Xilou.

After the two got on the three-wheel electric car, Ye Lanzhou looked at Gu Xilou: the gauze bandage on his head had been removed long ago, and his long black and straight hair was loose. Because he had eaten and slept well recently, he now had slender eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, like Those standing paintings that Ye Lanzhou had seen in the company before were not as delicate as real people.

It made Ye Lanzhou instantly think of the sentence describing Gu Xilou's appearance in the novel: the eyes of the night, the lips of roses.

Ye Lanzhou: "...You should also wear a mask. The field is harvesting corn and there is a lot of dust." Although both of them are conspicuous wearing masks, it is definitely more conspicuous not to wear masks.

When going to town this time, Ye Lanzhou first went to the computer brand store to choose a good computer, because it was a desktop computer, and the store provided delivery.After paying the money, Ye Lanzhou left the address, took the receipt, picked another tablet, and took Gu Xilou to buy a mobile phone.After buying the mobile phone, I gave him a phone card, and participated in the top-up activity to give him food and oil, and charged him 300 yuan for the phone bill first.

When Ye Lanzhou was inquiring about the network installation, Gu Xilou looked down at his phone with his head down, with a five-kilogram bag of Wuchang rice at his feet.When buying a mobile phone, the merchant also gave away a tempered phone case, etc. Ye Lanzhou asked Gu Xilou to choose it himself, and he chose a pure black mobile phone case at random.The two later discovered that the phone case was so black that the laser light reflected in the sunlight.

After Ye Lanzhou settled the matter of broadband installation, he turned around and saw Gu Xilou looking down at his phone. He poked his head and took a look. It was news on the website.There are very few built-in applications on the new mobile phone, most of which are system applications, which are not usually used.

"Just wait until the network is connected and you download some apps." Ye Lanzhou said as he walked out of the operation hall, waiting for Gu Xilou to catch up.They can go buy wheat seeds now, and Ye Lanzhou plans to go to the vegetable market to buy some butchered whole chickens, big-bone beef, etc. after buying them.

With a large bag of wheat seeds and fresh meat and vegetables, and bought some fresh corn and some straw with the farmers on the way, when Ye Lanzhou and Gu Xilou arrived home, the broadband installation master sent by the operator was already waiting at the gate of the courtyard.Ye Lanzhou opened the door to welcome people in, and asked Gu Xilou to soak a whole chicken in water, and put the other meat in the refrigerator to freeze.

After communicating with the installer to arrange the wiring, Ye Lanzhou asked Gu Xilou who came from the kitchen to help out, went to the kitchen by himself, and began to prepare today's lunch: a large plate of chicken with wide noodles.

The whole freshly killed rooster, the internal organs such as chicken liver and gizzard are still there.Ye Lanzhou turned on her mobile phone and searched for a tutorial. She put together the internal organs, wing tips, and the cut chicken head, neck, and feet for other uses. Then, she cut the rest of the body into pieces, washed it, and started to marinate it.

Ye Lanzhou broth is cooked with beef bones and beef to replenish energy and blood.With broth boiling on the stove, Ye Lanzhou began to chop potatoes and green peppers and other side dishes, as well as make sauce for the big plate chicken and wide noodles as the main course.Ye Lanzhou likes chewier noodles, so he repeated the dough making twice.

After the broth is cooked, you can start making big plate chicken!Because the potatoes absorb oil, put more oil in the pan after it is hot.After Ye Lanzhou fried the chicken until it was browned, he poured in the scallions, peppers, Huadiao wine, and sauces prepared earlier.After the seasoning meets the chicken, after a little stir-fry, a strong fragrance will float out of the pot.Ye Lanzhou swallowed, poured a bowl of high soup into the pot, poured in all the side dishes, and started to simmer slowly.

The final product was put into a plate by Ye Lanzhou and covered with a dust cover first.He took out the wake-up noodles and began to roll them out to make noodles. The noodles were cut into finger-wide noodles, boiled in water, then removed, rinsed with cold water, and poured into two soup bowls.

It took two hours to prepare lunch, and when Ye Lanzhou arrived in the living room with a large plate of chicken, the broadband had already been installed, the desktop computer had also been sent to install the system, and there was only Gu Xilou in the living room.

Ye Lanzhou: "It's pretty fast, you clear the table and get ready to eat."

Gu Xilou nodded, put down his mobile phone, moved the computer and mainframe that were temporarily placed on the only table in the hall, to make room for eating, and then wiped the table with a disinfectant wipe.

He had just wiped the table clean when Ye Lanzhou came over with two bowls of lasagna and brought chopsticks.Gu Xilou reached out to take a bowl, and the two sat down one after another after washing their hands. Just as they were about to start eating in silence, Ye Lanzhou's cell phone rang suddenly.
