Chapter 289 Do You Remember Him?
He took out the bag of pepper from the cupboard, grabbed some and crushed it into powder.
Soak wild onions and ginger in water, pour it into the fish fillets, add salt, cornstarch, pepper, beat in an egg white, and marinate for a quarter of an hour.
Prepare the dried chili peppers, wild onions, garlic slices, and some pickled dried bamboo shoots and wild celery and have Xu Zhi cut them into sauerkraut.
Many Japanese confectioners put their hands behind their backs and watched the wishing action without blinking.
When I opened the lid of the rice steamer, the rice was almost steamed dry.
The rice steamer was brought to the table and the remaining water in the pot was scooped into a basin.
"Xiao Duo Guozi, you two go and watch the fire."
"Oh." The two replied and walked to the stove and sat down.
Xu Yuan brought the chopped fish bones to the stove, added hot oil, and fry them until golden brown. Then he shoveled them out, poured all the ingredients placed aside into the pan, and stir-fried them until fragrant.
"Xiaozhi, have you cut the sauerkraut?"
"All right."
Xu Zhi brought over a plate of chopped sauerkraut and, at Xu Yuan's signal, poured it into the pot.
After stir-frying evenly, pour in the fried fish bones and a bowl of water. After boiling, remove the fish bones and side dishes to a plate and add the fish fillets.
The aroma of sauerkraut instantly fills the kitchen, whetting one's appetite.
The many Japanese confectioners sitting by the stove watching the fire couldn't help swallowing their saliva, as if they were even hungrier.
"Almost ready to serve."
A plate of steaming pickled fish is freshly cooked.
Sprinkle the remaining dried chilies, minced garlic and wild onion segments on the plate, and pour the hot oil from the pot directly on top.
It was dark, and the oil lamp was lit in the kitchen, creating a warm atmosphere.
The four of them sat down at the table.
Manyu picked up a piece of fish head, blew on it, and said happily, "Big sister, it's delicious."
"If it tastes good, eat more. We'll continue planting rice tomorrow."
After a day of farm work, everyone was obviously very hungry. The only sound on the table was the clatter of bowls and chopsticks, and the food was quickly eaten up.
After a long time, the lights in the yard gradually went out, the village gradually became quiet, and the forest gradually became noisy.
On the path in the woods
Several fires were lit, with the crackling of matches, the chirping of insects and birds in the woods, horse-drawn and donkey-drawn carts parked in groups of three or two, and a dozen young-looking men scattered around and sitting in front of the fires.
Li Junyong bumped into the shoulder of Gu Qinghan who was sitting next to him, and tore off half of the hot pancake in his hand and handed it to him.
"Can you eat it?"
Gu Qinghan took it, took out the sauce from the cloth bag, poured a little on the lid, and dipped it.
Seeing this, Li Junyong also dipped the pancake in it, leaned against the tree to sleep on the other side, and shouted, "Brother, do you want some pancake?"
The only response was snoring.
"Come on, eat quickly and go to bed." Gu Qinghan replied softly.
This is the fifth day on the journey to North City. We travel during the day and find a place to rest at night.
This was a sunny day after two days of rain, and some people were no longer in the good spirits they were before leaving. From the elegant young men before leaving, they became haggard young men with messy hair and clothes.
You can tell at a glance that he has rarely traveled far.
"Junyong, if you pass a river tomorrow, remember to stop." Gu Qinghan said to Li Junyong who was under a tree on the other side. He thought that he had to improve his diet after chewing dry food for the past few days.
"Qinghan, I heard from my brother that we will pass through a small village tomorrow. Not only will there be a river, but we might even be able to eat rice." Li Junyong said expectantly.
"Well, that's good." Gu Qinghan threw a dry branch into the fire, silently took out the book from his arms and started reading it by the firelight.
Everything went smoothly without any accidents until the end of the first half of the night. Gu Qinghan woke up Li Junguang, then returned to the carriage, curled up on the blanket and fell asleep.
In the woods late at night, the night breeze was cool. Apart from the chirping of insects and birds, the rustling of leaves in the wind, there was also the light of fire. Li Junguang yawned lazily and looked at some people sitting in front of the fire on the other side.
I was a little surprised to see one of the guys on the other side.
I didn't expect that the eldest son could hide his identity and blend into this group of people without any flaws. Under normal circumstances, those families in the academy who wanted to make friends with him would come up to him.
How could there be such a invisible person like the eldest son, and yet he could make friends with Qinghan and Junyong?
This invitation to travel together was actually to secretly escort him safely to the North City.
A stone was thrown at his feet. Li Junguang turned around and saw another handsome boy in the village.
Li Junguang threw it back without hesitation, "What's the matter, kid?"
Feng Juesheng walked over, sat next to Li Junguang, and asked softly: "Brother Guang, do you really not remember what happened before?"
Feng Juesheng hesitated for a long time, but decided to ask.
After all, I still wanted to ask Li Junguang about someone.
"Maybe I've been in contact with Junyong and the others for a long time recently, so I vaguely remember something. What do you want to ask me? Let me see if I remember it."
As soon as I saw the boy's conflicted look, I knew it must be something I knew.
"Brother Guang, do you still remember my uncle Lin Heshun?"
"Harmonious?"
Li Junguang frowned, thinking in his mind, and shook his head involuntarily, smiling at Feng Juesheng, "Juesheng, I'm sorry, I don't seem to remember it."
"It's okay, Brother Guang, take your time to think about it. I believe you will remember it." Feng Juesheng couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but still forced a smile to comfort Li Junguang.
The year my uncle joined the army, I was only thirteen years old, and Juexiao was not even born yet. I could still receive news in the first few years and knew that he was safe, but after I was fifteen, there was no news from him. My parents had already assumed that he had died on the battlefield. What's more, he has no family now and has moved to such a distant county town of Lin'an without leaving any information.
Feng Juesheng also wanted to meet Li Junguang and ask for some information, after all, they joined the army together.
It seems that my uncle really may not be able to find his home.
"Brother Guang, I'm going to go back first. I'm sorry to bother you so late."
Feng Juesheng stood up silently and returned to his camp with heavy steps.
Li Junguang sighed slightly and patted his head.
Sometimes I think silently that it would be better if this brain that can’t remember anything didn’t come back.
When I saw the eyes of the relatives who asked me about the people from the same village who were going to join the army, they were full of expectation or fear. Maybe they just wanted to get accurate information, but I couldn't give them a definite answer.
It’s really embarrassing to say.
