Lin Dan endured Kang Shaojie's noise all the way, and slowed down when he reached the entrance of the village.
Kang Shaojie also realized that he was about to enter the village, blushing and chirping, as if he had something to say but was ashamed to say it. He wanted to beg Lin Dan to put down his firewood, lest the two friends see that it was useless to laugh at him, but he felt that doing so was a bit like killing the donkey. He directly cut off the vines with a hatchet, put his bundles of firewood on the side of the road, and left first.
Kang Shaojie looked at her fading back with extremely complicated eyes.
The two photographers filmed this scene, looked at each other and made the next decision - if they meet this little girl during the shooting in the future, they must always pay attention to her every move, so as not to miss such a heartwarming scene. Think about what the two children of the Zhou family said about the little girl? The famous wild child in the village has no tutor, only knows how to play but not work? This is also called a wild child, without a family education, then there are really no high-quality people in the world!
Kang Shaojie silently put a few bundles of firewood into his backpack and strode back to Zhou's house. He was always lazy and slippery, but he didn't complain a word this time, and he didn't make those out-of-tune jokes in front of the camera.
Lin Dan was walking on the country road with the firewood on his back. He passed by his vegetable field and went down to pick a handful of green vegetables and pinch many tender pea shoots. She deliberately observed it and found that there was nothing missing in the vegetable field. Then she landed on the ridge with satisfaction, and made eye contact with Jiao Xiaoe, who was standing not far away.
Jiao Xiao'e spat at her from a distance.
Lin Dan waved the hatchet expressionlessly, but the other party's face turned pale, but he still snorted coldly, and then walked into the house.
Lin Dan came home with a "small mountain" on his back, Lin Shuanzhu almost jumped up in shock, "Dan, why are you chopping so much wood? Can you carry it on your back?"
"If I can't carry it, I have to carry it back. I'm going to school tomorrow, and I only have time to chop wood on Saturdays and Sundays." Lin Dan neatly stacked the wood stacks under the porch outside the kitchen, and took another Take an axe and chop the stake into small pieces so that it can be easily ignited.
After splitting for a while, Kang Shaojie passed by her door, cupped her hands at her, winked his eyes, and his expression was both grateful and funny.
Lin Dan ignored him, picked up the axe and continued chopping the wood, splitting into two halves, and then splitting into four halves.
The two photographers stood at the door and took pictures of her, and then zoomed in to take a close-up of her sweaty face. After a closer look, they found out: Oh, this little girl's facial features are really handsome, and her eyebrows are thin. He is curved, his eyes are big and round, his nose is straight and upturned, his small mouth is bright red, and the corners of his lips are naturally raised, which is even more delicate and cute than a Barbie doll.
It would be nice if the skin was whiter. The two photographers sighed in their hearts for a while, seeing the little girl chopping firewood by herself, without even looking at the camera, they couldn't help being moved by her steady personality. The director is right, this little girl is probably the most playful child in Liuxing Village.
When Kang Shaojie returned to Zhou's house, his two young boys greeted him and laughed, "Have you got any firewood?"
"Well, is it enough?" Kang Shaojie carried out a few bundles of firewood, his expression very arrogant.
"Really chopped back? Not bad, Jiezi!" The feminine boy slapped his friend's shoulder heavily.
"It's neatly chopped, very level! Jiezi, I really admire you today!" The chubby boy gave a thumbs up without hesitation.
Kang Shaojie touched his nose, and his face started to turn red again, but he didn't have the embarrassment to tell his companions that this was the firewood chopped by the little girl next door. As for whether the audience will laugh at himself after the show is broadcast, this is not in his consideration at all.
"The level is just average, let's go, move the chai into the kitchen, I'm starving to death!" Kang Shaojie tried to divert the attention of his friends.
The chubby boy was indeed led astray by him, and he pouted: "I don't want to eat when I'm hungry, Madam Jiao's cooking skills are too bad, she chops up all the ingredients and cooks them in a pot, that's what people eat. Or feed the pigs? I was hungry and lost several kilograms after only half a month, and I feel sorry for myself.”
The feminine boy squeezed his chin, nodded and said, "Don't say it, I've lost a lot of weight."
"Really? My grandparents can't cry to death when they see it? When will this show air? I want to show my grandparents what my life is like, so they can teach my parents a lesson. Is there such a person who abuses his own children?" When it comes to food, the chubby teenager is full of resentment.
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Cuicui walked into the house with a brand new schoolbag, her cheeks flushed. Obviously, she heard the conversation of the teenagers just outside the door.
"I told my grandma to let her steam bacon for dinner." She ran away with her head down, as if very ashamed.
The three teenagers look at me and I look at you, finally showing a little happy expression. They have been here for more than half a month, and this is the second time they have eaten meat.
…
Lin Dan cooked the rice after chopping the wood, then took off a piece of bacon hanging on the eaves, and asked, "Master, shall we cook the bacon hot pot tonight?"
"Yes." Lin Shuanzhu didn't have much requirements for food.
Lin Dan scalded the bacon with boiling water, scraped the oily skin clean, cut it into thin slices and set it aside for later use, and scooped a bowl of red and bright pressed chili peppers and glutinous acid from the jar as a hot pot base. Most of the people in the mountainous areas of the southwest have strong tastes, and Liuxing Village, which is sour and spicy, has its own way of cooking hot pot.
Lin Dan washed the pot, boiled the water, poured in the rapeseed oil, boiled it until it was 70% hot, then poured the glutinous acid into it and stir-fryed it until it became red and crispy rice grains, then poured in the pressed pepper, and continued. stir fry. The glutinous acid mixed with the sour taste of the pressed chili peppers broke through the roof in an instant and spread all around.
Lin Dan continued to stir-fry the two ingredients, and when their flavors were completely blended, he added appropriate hot water and boiled it into a thick and reddish soup. When he was done, he took it out for later use, and then put the bacon into the pot and stir-fry. Drain the excess fat and add the previous thick soup to continue to simmer.
The sour and spicy aroma of the pressed chili, the coke aroma and the crispy aroma of the glutinous rice are mixed with the sauce and incense aroma of the bacon to form a strange aroma. Lin Dan then poured in the washed fungus, added two flavors of rosin and fragrance, and finally rinsed the green cabbage leaves and pea sprouts to bring in a fresh fragrance, and the dish was finished.
Even before the soup in the pot boiled, the domineering aroma rose to the sky. Even Lin Shuanzhu, who didn't care much about eating, began to ask frequently, "Ban, when can we eat?"
"Master, wait a minute, I'll cut two spring onions to taste." Lin Dan said in a loud voice.
Lin Shuanzhu pressed his belly and felt a little restless. The villagers who passed by his house would always stand at the door for a while, sniffing and asking, "Lao Lin, what are you eating tonight at your house? Why is it so delicious?"
"Nothing good, cook some bacon to eat." Lin Shuanzhu waved his hand with a smile.
The villagers stood in front of his house for a long time before leaving, but many children dragged the big iron gate of his house and refused to leave, and their mouths were still drooling. The smell was still lingering, and the neighbors began to be restless, calling their children to come home for dinner one after another, and repeatedly emphasized that the bacon was also cooked at home.
The children ran one after another, and their footsteps were very eager. Even adults can't stand the scent, let alone children who have no self-control.
Lin Dan placed a small hollow round table in the yard, put the stove in the middle of the table, put a pot on it, placed two bowls of rice and a basket of greens, and pushed Lin Shuanzhu out for dinner. Lin Shuanzhu scooped up a spoonful of the red and thick sour soup, mixed with rice, and quickly shaved two bites. He couldn't help sighing, "It's still delicious at home!"
"Master, eat more." Lin Dan put a few pieces of bacon into his bowl.
The grandparents and grandchildren are used to setting meals in the yard, and the pot is open in the air, constantly exuding a strange fragrance. It's hard for the three urban teenagers and the crew of the film crew who live next door.
"Cao Muchen, why do I think we ate fake bacon?" The little fat man lightly touched the feminine boy's arm.
The yin and soft boy who had eaten deliciously at the time could no longer eat it, and it was not good to eat a piece of fat bacon, and it was not good to not eat it. Jiao Xiao'e's cooking skills are simply too rough. She threw the bacon into the water, washed, cut everything, put it in the steamer and steamed for 15 minutes, and it was done. There was no seasoning process.
Bacon itself is a very strong food, so there is nothing wrong with it, but by coincidence, there is a seasoning expert living next door, who has made a bacon hot pot with all kinds of flavors, and called three teenagers with tricky tastes. How to get down.
Kang Shaojie hurried the bacon in the bowl back to the plate, walked out of the gate of Zhou's house with rice, squatted at the gate of Lin's house and watched. He had met Lin Dan face to face, and he was good at observing words and expressions. How could he not see that this was a little girl who was cold on the surface but could not be more soft-hearted. If she made herself a little embarrassed, she would definitely lend a helping hand.
Thinking of this, Kang Shaojie knocked on the bowl, trying to attract Lin Dan's attention, then he took the white rice grains between his chopsticks and put them into his mouth one by one, his face full of sorrow. The feminine boy and the little fat man hid and peeked, realizing what he wanted to do, their eyes lit up, and they rushed the bacon back to the plate, and squatted in front of Lin's house with white rice.
The three teenagers squatted in a row, looked at Lin Dan after eating a mouthful of white rice, hungry, helpless, and pitiful written all over their faces.
Lin Shuanzhu had noticed them for a long time and wondered: "Dan, who are they?"
"They are the people from the city who filmed TV at Jiao Xiao'e's house. Eat it, sir, and leave them alone." Lin Dan said calmly.
"Oh, it's from the city." Lin Shuanzhu immediately withdrew his gaze. The people in the city are living well, so there is no need for him to be pitiful.
Lin Dan ate dinner unhurriedly, without even looking at the door. She knew that these three people were pretending, but she also believed that their hunger was three-pointed. Jiao Xiaoe took so much money from Lin Shuanzhu and watched the original owner starve to death, so how could she be willing to give the three teenagers the good things at home? Her pockets can't go in, and she lives in Zhou's house, so these people have to suffer a little bit.
The grandparents and grandchildren ate for more than half an hour, and Kang Shaojie and his two friends squatted at the door for half an hour. Jiao Xiao'e kept calling them to come back for dinner, but they didn't listen. Zhou Cuicui hid and watched, with a look of humiliation and dissatisfaction in her eyes.
Seeing that Lin Dan had already cleaned up the tableware and chopsticks, Kang Shaojie stood up disheartened and muttered, "Little girl is so cruel, she refuses to give brother a bite of meat."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lin Dan come out with a pottery pot, and said lightly, "Take it and eat it. It was extra during cooking. It has been hot on the stove, and my father and I haven't touched it."
Kang Shaojie was instantly elated, took the pottery pot with both hands, and kept bending over to thank him.
Lin Dan urged, "Return the bowl after eating."
"Okay, I'm ordered!" Kang Shaojie ran away, put the pot on the stone table in the Zhou's yard, circled tightly with his two friends, and devoured the meal. . When the director raised the inscription board to let them take a bite, Kang Shaojie had already rinsed the empty basin. The eldest young master really changed his mind today. He not only took the initiative to chop wood, but also learned to wash dishes. This is really the first big breakthrough made by the program team.
Jiao Xiao'e rolled her eyes, her disdainful expression was recorded by the photographer. Zhou Cuicui buried her head and ate her bacon, her eyes were wet, and she looked a little aggrieved. When Zhou Fang left, he told her that she should not take the initiative to conflict with Lin Dan, just cry.
But this trick didn't work for the three teenagers. After they had eaten and drank enough, they went back to the house to play cards, not wanting to take care of Zhou Cuicui's little emotions at all.
