Douluo's Gourd

Chapter 635 Picnic

The lake in early autumn seems a little deeper than in summer, and the cool and green wind blowing from the shore is slightly green.

The shrubs on the edge of the forest have absorbed the bright eyes of summer and look particularly green. Some shrubs still have berries hidden in their leaves. That is the essence accumulated throughout the summer and the continuation of life.

The gourd vine pulled out the entire bush, including the roots and soil, and held it high in front of Wang Xiaofeng like a treasure.

Wang Xiaofeng patted the vines, "They say berries are enough, so hurry up and plant them back again."

Calabash Vine shook the vine as if it seemed to understand.

A black ball dumpling quickly ran out of the forest.

"Heidou, you still know how to come back."

Nitya looked at the black ball dumpling holding her calf, with her hands on her thin waist, and raised her eyebrows: "I just took a bath for you, and you made yourself dirty. Look at this, all over your body." It's all dirt and grass clippings...Hey, where's your honey jar?"

Heidou danced excitedly and made gestures.

Although I couldn't understand the bear language, I guessed from its body language that the honey jar must have been broken by a powerful creature.

Nitya nodded its head in a funny way, "You deserve it for being playful."

Seeing that the mother orangutan had no intention of standing up for him, Heidou walked aside and sulked alone.

On Wang Xiaofeng's side, cooking has begun.

He first took out a handful of washed mushrooms from the water element's body.

These mushrooms are sourced locally from Nidia in this mountain forest, and the quality of the ingredients is pretty good.

Among them are the common flower mushrooms, small brown mushrooms, and black-skinned chicken fir.

Slice the mushrooms and set aside.

Start preheating the large pot under the fire, take out the butter and cut it into small pieces, add honey and eggs, mix well, and then spread it on the toast.

Spread the toast flat in a hot pan and fry until brown, then take it out and place it on a dinner plate.

He found slices of cured bristles ham from his gourd.

This is ham slices marinated with century-old bristled boar legs. The red lean meat and white fat meat are distinct in color. If you smell it closely, you can smell the salty meat smell.

Spread a thin layer of salty ham slices on freshly fried bread, then cut diagonally, and a simple honey ham sandwich is ready.

The other main dish, grilled fish, is even simpler.

After taking out the internal organs of the plump salmon, it only needs a little salt as a base flavor to bring out the most essential deliciousness of the meat.

Just pay attention to the heat during the barbecue. Excessive heat can easily burn the surface.

Add a little more oil to the pot, first add ginger and garlic, then add dried chili peppers and green onions and stir-fry until fragrant.

Add a small amount of gourd wine to enhance the flavor, pour in an appropriate amount of water, and add a little sugar to enhance the flavor.

Then put the freshly grilled fish into the pot, add the freshly washed wild vegetables and mushrooms, cover the pot and simmer for ten minutes.

Nitya, who was beside her, felt that she could not help much, so she sat by the bonfire to help add firewood and watch the fire.

The firewood was crackling and the pot was making a gurgling sound. From time to time, hot water vapor came out when the lid of the pot was opened, bringing with it the aroma of soft and delicious meat.

Not only the smell of meat, but also the fragrance of the honey ham sandwich that has been prepared is also constantly entering the nose.

Nitya's small nose twitched slightly, and she wiped her saliva calmly, "Well...it smells so good, I'm a little hungry."

"Eat some berries first."

Wang Xiaofeng took out a handful of berries and put them in Nidia's hand, but the sweet and sour taste made her even hungrier.

"Let's eat, let's eat." The aroma in the air made Heidou feel autistic, and he ran over and howled with Nitya.

"I'm coming."

Wang Xiaofeng placed the steaming cauldron on the low dining table.

Hold it empty with your right hand, and the full juice of the berries will flow into the clean cup. Add a little honey, and a cup of freshly squeezed berry juice is ready.

Wang Xiaofeng raised the juice and said, "Let us raise our glasses to welcome the addition of black beans."

"Welcome!" Nitya raised their glasses and clinked their glasses.

Although Heidou didn't understand what it meant, Heidou also raised the grilled fish in his hand that was as big as his bear's face and shouted in agreement.

When you open the lid of the pot, the aroma spreads with the steaming heat, making your index fingers full.

Nitya eagerly stretched out her chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish and put it into her mouth.

The skin of the grilled fish is crispy, but the extremely tender texture of the fish itself is perfectly preserved by Wang Xiaofeng. The oil after grilling is finely distributed between the crispy fish skin and the fragrant and tender fish, and it is full of mouthfuls after just one sip. fragrant.

The sandwich is also delicious. The cured salty ham has a rich flavor. After one bite, the aroma of butter and milk rushes into the nose along with the rich aroma of meat. The solid and sweet taste is even more satisfying and speechless.

"Well, I'm alive." After eating three sandwiches in a row, Nidia nodded with satisfaction, her short black hair swaying by her ears, "It's delicious!"

Every picnic we take when we travel is made from local ingredients. It’s like opening a blind box. There’s no way to predict what kind of food you’ll get.

But Wang Xiaofeng can turn decay into magic every time, turning ordinary ingredients into delicious dishes.

After eating and drinking enough, the warm sunshine and breeze blowing on the body make people feel a little drowsy.

Nidia hugged the little bear and leaned against the big tree. Suddenly she found that Wang Xiaofeng, who said he was going to the lake to clean the dishes, had been squatting there for a long time.

When I walked over, I saw that he was taking out the plump roe from a salmon and putting it into a water ball suspended in mid-air, with its interior forming a whirlpool and constantly stirring.

"What are you tinkering with again?"

"We're making caviar." Wang Xiaofeng said without raising his head: "This is a food from the Far North. It is pickled with fresh caviar. It is similar to our pickles. It is usually eaten with staple food. ”

“It’s rare to see salmon spawning, so I’ll make a few more cans so that everyone can try this delicacy from other regions.”

The salmon, whose upper abdominal wound was sutured, showed no signs of weakness at all. He vigorously broke free from Wang Xiaofeng's hands, fell into the water and disappeared with a flick of his tail.

The process of making caviar was dull and boring. Nidia saw that he was so serious and meticulous in his work, so she asked: "Don't you find it boring? You obviously don't need to do these things yourself."

"It's not boring. The way to practice is to relax one by one."

"In my opinion, studying all things is spiritual practice, doing weight-bearing exercises is spiritual practice, meditating and refining the spirit is spiritual practice, and making food is also spiritual practice."

At first glance, Wang Xiaofeng looks no different from ordinary people, but after a few more glances, you can feel a harmonious and natural nature in his movements.

Nidia nodded in understanding.

Isn't cultivation just about meditating and breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth? Sure enough, the little lunatic's thinking point of view is different from ordinary people.
