Chapter 26: Discovering Peppers

The two people who officially confirmed their relationship (?) became uncomfortable with each other.Nagu has officially changed from a peek to a moron, he likes to stare at Xu Fei when he has nothing to do, and touches his arms and hands from time to time, and then he is silly.It made the mature and steady Xu Fei very troublesome, is it true for people who are in love?People who have no experience in love express no solution.

Bai, who agreed to go out to collect food together the next day, did not show up until the third day.As soon as he came, he dragged Xu Fei to the side and complained that Hurley wouldn't let him out, and insisted that he finish eating the meat at home.After finally eating up the leftover meat, Hurley will bring back a lot of prey at night.Although he is full every day, he still misses Xu Fei's cooking very much!

So Bai, who ate meat for three days in a row, became a little constipated, and woke up this morning lying on Heli like an octopus, dawdling to prevent him from going hunting, and he wanted to find something delicious with Xu Fei Yes, don't eat meat all the time.

The old man who was a bit reactive in the morning was burned out. When Bai found out, he slyly stretched his hand in and said pitifully in the patriarch's ear, "Let me go?" Being so stimulated, the patriarch Unable to control it, Bai also successfully gained the freedom to come out and play.

Hurley stared at the side, afraid that Bai would say something that shouldn't be said, but fortunately, Bai's attention was shifted to Xu Fei's straw sandals after a while.

Seeing the curious look, Xu Fei made him a pair.Nagu, who had confirmed the relationship, was not a stingy person either. Seeing that the more than 20 pairs of shoes piled up in the cave were all made by Xu Fei, he didn't care about giving a pair to the little guy.

Bai watched seriously from the side, holding a few straw ropes in his hands, imitating the example.At first Xu Fei only thought of him as a child at heart, and wanted to make it up for fun, but he didn't expect him to make it up well.

"You don't need to use so many heads, so the shoes will be much bigger." The competent teacher Xu is guiding.

"This is for Hurley, he has big feet!" Bai exaggeratedly gestured.

Heli, who was a little bit dissatisfied, couldn't help laughing when he heard it. He glanced at Nagu proudly, isn't he virtuous?

Nagu pointed to a pile of shoes piled up next to him, and said blankly: "Mine." After thinking about it, he added, "Xu Fei made them for me."

Herry...

Good boy, it's great to have a female!Don't be proud, understand or not!Harry scolded him with his eyes, as if he wasn't the one who just shuddered over an unfinished pair of shoes.

Nagu turned his head as if he didn't see it, and silently protested that his wife was much more capable than yours.

Once two older unmarried youths start to fall in love, they become childish and love to compare each other when they have nothing to do.

The two shou who concentrated on making shoes completely ignored the undercurrent surging next to them, and they looked much more mature!

"Heri, look at the shoes I made for you, they look good!" Under Xu Fei's guidance, Bai ran to the patriarch's side as soon as he finished a pair of barely qualified shoes, and forced the straw sandals in his hand towards the patriarch's eyes.

"Well, well done!" Heli took the shoe that almost poked his mouth, and said with a smile, showing a sense of pride in our family.

Bai, who was praised, smiled foolishly, and made a decision that Harry regretted. From now on, he would make a pair of shoes for the patriarch every day!

The group set off when they were ready. On the road, two big men were carrying big panniers, and two small men were carrying two empty baskets.

Bai seemed to be very interested in making handicrafts. He chattered about this and that along the way, and Xu Fei naturally didn't hide his secrets.

When it was almost noon, Nagu and the patriarch shot three short-tailed deer, and Bai also tossed around in the bushes for a long time, and caught a colorful pheasant.But no matter how beautiful it is, it still has to be eaten. The snacks don't care to pluck the hair from the pheasant, remove the internal organs, and think it will be sent to Xu Fei.

They could only make up together outside, Xu Fei only brought a small bag of salt, and made some barbecue for them. After eating and drinking enough, everyone started to move forward again.

Bai took everyone to his previous cave. Nagu had never been there, so he guarded Xu Fei with extra care.

Xu Fei looked around and saw that they were all short bushes, so there should be no danger. He patted Nagu's arm so that he would not be nervous.

Bai pulled Xu Fei to drill into the bushes, which made Na Gu, who had just had some physical contact with Xu Fei, very dissatisfied, and the patriarch who had long been accustomed to Bai's convulsions smiled gloatingly.

Nagu didn't care about the patriarch, and went in immediately. The patriarch saw that he was the only one left outside, so he also hurried in.

"Hey, that's where I dug the choke plants." Bai pointed to a field with small purple flowers, but Xu Fei was attracted by the bright red plants next to it.

He walked a few steps quickly, his eyes lit up when he saw the familiar sharp pepper.

Bai saw that Xu Fei had the intention to pick it up, and hurriedly stopped him, "That's not tasty, it made my tongue go numb!"

After hearing Bai's words, Xu Fei was even more sure that the thing was pepper.

He patiently explained: "Although this food is spicy, it will be delicious if it is fried." It can also be pickled and made into chopped peppers, which is a delicacy in winter when the weather is cold and there is a shortage of seasonal vegetables.

Bai still believed in Xu Fei's cooking skills. Hearing his explanation, he immediately helped Xu Fei pick the peppers with a smile on his face.

When Nagu and the patriarch came over, they found that they were both picking a red plant over there, and Bai smiled happily.

Didn't they come to dig and plant?How could he remember that Cho Zhi didn't seem to be red.The big man silently came to Xu Fei's side, and took over half of the basket he had filled.

Xu Fei wasn't greedy for too much chili peppers, and would stop for nothing after picking two baskets.Two large baskets of peppers were enough, Xu Fei mainly wanted to dig some pepper seedlings to plant.Digging seedlings is meticulous work, he is worried about letting Bai come, afraid of wasting it.

Xu Fei first used a small shovel to dig out some of the soil on the surface, and then he started directly. He carefully loosened the soil from the root system with his hands.

Affected by the atmosphere, Bai squatted beside him with an air of not daring to show off, for fear that an accident would delay Xu Fei's digging.

Gently digging out a newly flowered chili seedling from the soil, keeping the soil attached to its roots, Xu Fei put the newly dug out seedling into Nagu's back basket.

After digging more than a dozen seedlings in a row, Xu Fei was satisfied.

Nagu carried those light and fluffy seedlings on his back, which felt like they didn't weigh much. Seeing Xu Fei's precious and heavy appearance, Nagu also felt that he was carrying something very important on his back.

At first, Bai took it seriously, but later he found it boring and dug ginger for Xu Fei.You don't need to be careful when digging that thing, so he dug a lot, and after a while, he had to wipe off his sweat and scratch his itch, making his face dirty.

Xu Fei asked him to dig out some big ones and then some small ones. The small ones are more tender and taste very fresh when marinated, and when marinated with chili peppers, the taste has gone up to another level.

It’s okay to dig more ginger, soak it in salt water for an hour and then dry it for a long time.Xu Fei also dug some ginger with strong buds as seeds, and prepared to go back and plant them.

Although I didn't hunt any meat back today, the baskets full of peppers and ginger put Xu Fei in a good mood. Sure enough, no one can resist the temptation of food!

Of course, Xu Fei is so happy not only because he satisfies his appetite, but also because in this world where there is a lack of medical care and medicine, chili and ginger can cure some fevers and colds!

In Xu Fei's view, today's activity of going out to find food was successfully completed.Before the sun set, the labor force who had not played any role quickly dispatched and brought back a few prey.

The group returned with a full load, and the first thing Xu Fei did when he returned was to plant the peppers and ginger he dug up. He gave a few seedlings to the curious Bai, and after planting, he got some water from the stream and watered the ground thoroughly. water.

After watering the ground, Xu Fei thumped his back.It seems that two large wooden barrels are needed to store water, otherwise every time I use water, I have to run so far.

Thinking that he had filled the water tank for washing when he got up every day, he glanced at the big man who had been silently beside him, this fool.

Nagu was always sensitive to Xu Fei's gaze, now he felt Xu Fei looking at him and looking back.

Maybe Nagu doesn't know what gentleness is, but he always follows silently and takes care of everything for Xu Fei. This is a kind of silent gentleness.

The patriarch on the side looked at the two people in front of him with affection (heavy fog), but his own cub only knew how to pick and choose in front of the prey, and suddenly felt that the road to cultivation was still very long.

"Xu Fei, will you cook with this tonight?" Bai asked, pointing to the bright red pepper.

Although he was terribly spicy before, he heard that it could be made into a delicious dish, so he decisively chose to try it.

Seeing Xu Fei running over and studying how to cook with Bai, Nagu decided in his heart not to let the little man come over in the future. Thinking this way, he looked at the patriarch next to him.

The patriarch spread his hands and said that he could do nothing.

Xu Fei is going to use today's ingredients to make a dish of spicy chicken, a dish of meatball and vegetable soup, and a large piece of roasted venison.The sweet potatoes have been eaten, and he doesn't plan to dig them for the time being.

Ginger is a good raw material for removing fishy smell. He picked a piece of dug ginger and chopped it into powder, asked Nagu to chop the meat, put the ginger powder and meat together and stir evenly, and then beat five or six white picks at noon Put the wild eggs that have arrived, put an appropriate amount of salt, and stir.It would be even better if there was more starch, Xu thought as he looked at the stirred meatballs.

He asked Bai to help boil a pot of boiling water, squeezed the meat balls into balls and put them into the boiling water. After a while, an appetizing aroma wafted out, which offended Bai, who didn't know what restraint was. He swallowed hard.

When the meatball was about to be cooked, Xu Fei put a large handful of green purslane into it.There are pieces of green floating in the milky white soup, just looking at it will make people appetite.

The next step is fried spicy chicken. Xu Fei first picked a large piece of fat and oiled it in a jar. When the oil came out, he threw ginger slices in, followed by chopped chili.

The two kinds of ingredients were rattling in the frying pan, causing Bai, who was squatting aside, to take a few steps back, tears streaming down his face.Now he began to wonder if the food made by this thing is really delicious?

Xu Fei knew the reaction that chili peppers should have when they were put into the frying pan. He didn't have a runny nose and tears like Bai did. He poured the cut chicken pieces into the frying pan neatly.

The two barbecuing men next to them saw the bursts of aroma coming from there from time to time, and they didn't want to take a second look at the food on their shelves.

With the joint efforts of the two sides, the three big men quickly finished the meal, excluding Bai who had been doing a disservice.

The broth has been popular from the very beginning. The meat chopped by Nagu is very chewy. After adding eggs, the taste of the meat is smoother and tender. The purslane that fully absorbs the soup has a good taste. Four people eat it They are very happy.

As for the bright red spicy chicken beside it, Bai was a little afraid to eat it at first.Nagu trusted Xu Fei unconditionally, and directly put a large piece of chicken into his mouth.

Although he had never tasted this kind of food before, Nagu said that the spicy chicken was quite to his liking, so he couldn't help picking up a few more pieces.Xu Fei also tasted a piece, um, it was fragrant and spicy, moderately salty and mild, it passed!

Seeing that the pot of chickens kept decreasing, Bai gritted his teeth and ate a piece.As soon as I put it in my mouth, I immediately burst into tears, it was so spicy.However, there is a kind of fragrance in the spicy food, and the more you eat, the more exciting it becomes.

The patriarch frowned and looked at his family's foodie who was wiping his nose while eating, speechless.He also ate a few yuan himself, but he put it down because he couldn't eat spicy food very much. He didn't expect the little boy to eat it very happily.

Everyone finished the dinner satisfactorily. The patriarch who came here from time to time expressed his thanks before leaving. Bai Ze yelled that he would come again tomorrow, but was dragged away by Heli.

Xu Fei welcomes Bai to come and play. In his opinion, Bai is like a playful younger brother.

After Xu Fei and Nagu cleaned up, Xu Fei sat at the entrance of the cave and looked at the chili seedlings swaying gently in the evening wind, breathing in the unknown fragrance in the air, and felt that his current life was very satisfying.

Looking back at Nagu, who hadn't followed him for a long time, he was fiddling with his shoes beside him. Every night before going to bed, the big man would look at the twenty pairs of shoes piled up next to him one by one, as if they were some valuable treasures.

Perhaps, everything Xu Fei gave was the big man's treasure.
