Chapter 1385: Chapter 543: Delicious Rolled Liangpi, Appetizing and Tasty! This Is the Proper Use of a Fishing Net!

"Alright, when you mentioned chestnut jelly noodles, I really did get a bit hungry."

Actually, besides jelly noodles, there are quite a few similar ingredients like wide noodles, konjac noodles, rice skin, rolled dough skin, etc. If you want to eat them, they can all be made at home.

While discussing, Shen Guofu had already finished a small bowl of jelly noodles.

Seeing him praise jelly noodles so much, everyone thought he might have another bowl. However, this big boss who can’t live without meat got up to serve himself a large bowl of rice, and started eating heartily along with Lin Xu’s warmed Flame Drunken Goose, Ginger Duck, Red Stew Meat, and Red stewed Pork Hock dishes.

Hmm, eating jelly noodles is just for a change; if you want to really enjoy, it still has to be chunks of meat.

Old Shen scooped up a big piece of pork hock with a spoon, which was even tenderer than tofu, slurped it down, and a blissful satisfaction spread across his face:

"It has to be pork hock, originally stewed until soft and tender, and warmed up like this, the texture is absolutely irresistible."

The pork hock is so soft that it can be drunk down the stomach; after eating it and swallowing a big mouthful of rice, the sensation is truly wonderful.

"Dad, you’re eating so much meat, you should exercise."

"I will, I will. I saw some persimmons still hanging on the wild persimmon tree in the valley ahead. I’m planning to bring a net in the afternoon to reach them and taste those naturally frozen wild persimmons... Daughter, do you want to go too?"

Shen Guofu discovered that patch of wild persimmon grove during National Day, but unfortunately, the persimmons weren’t ripe then, so he didn’t take action.

This time, coming over, he originally thought the persimmons had all dropped, but unexpectedly, there were still some hanging on the branches. Although not many, there were still dozens.

In the afternoon, with a net, like hitting jujubes, he will knock them down and let everyone have a taste.

Shen Jiayue had been worrying about what to do in the afternoon, as soon as she heard this, she immediately said:

"Alright, alright, I also just want to see if those persimmons are still edible. Since the weather is warm, let’s head out soon. If not, I’ll take Dundun rowing."

Need to exercise; otherwise, there’s no way to eat the delicious dishes made by Xu Bao.

Lin Xu initially planned to go back home to take a nap in the afternoon. Upon hearing this, he too decided to go along.

There are no stairs on that side of the valley; you have to walk down carefully. And now, it has just snowed, making it quite slippery, so it’s better to go along and watch out to prevent any accident during the festive season.

Thus, Lin Xu and the Shen family father and daughter formed a small persimmon-picking squad.

After finishing the jelly noodles, like Shen Guofu, Lin Xu did not go for another bowl but rather served himself a large bowl of rice and started eating.

In this cold weather, sampling is good enough; to keep eating vigorously, the stomach and intestines might not be able to handle it.

Even though quite a few jelly noodles and dough skins were made today, Lin Xu didn’t mix them all. There were still about ten un-mixed jelly noodles and dough skins left.

Shen Jiayue curiously asked:

"What are you going to do with the remaining jelly noodles? This afternoon, they’ll be completely cold, can’t be used for cold mixing, right?"

Lin Xu said:

"If they can’t be cold mixed, then I’ll make them into stir-fried jelly noodles, akin to a Northern version of stir-fried rice noodles, which should also better suit the taste preferences of Northerners."

Shen Jiayue squinted her eyes, seems like she really needs to exercise well today.

Otherwise, if she can’t eat the delicious stir-fried jelly noodles, wouldn’t it be a pity?

She quickly finished the jelly noodles in her bowl, served herself some rice, and poured two spoons of the pork hock stew’s broth over the rice, stirring it to fully coat the rice grains with the fats.

Only then did she continue to eat the second round of lunch with big bites along with the hand-torn Chinese cabbage.

Once the rice entered her mouth, the girl couldn’t help but cheer inwardly.

Wakaka, Dad was right; it’s the pork hock that tastes delicious. Not just the meat, the broth mixed with rice is also exceptionally tasty and satisfying.

After finishing his rice, Lin Xu looked at Lin Grandma and asked:

"Grandma, is there anything you want to eat? If there is, while we’re not busy these couple of days, we can make it to try; consider it a sampling."

Upon hearing this, Lin Grandma exchanged glances with Chen Grandma and Shen Grandma, and said to Lin Xu:

"Lin Xu, if you have the time, steam some cornbread for us, and also steam some vegetable cornbread. When we were young, we couldn’t afford white flour buns, every day was coarse grain cornbread. If we don’t eat it for a while, we really miss it greatly."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xu said:

"Alright, I’ll see this afternoon whether the household’s whole grain flour is enough; if it is, I’ll first steam some cornbread. As for vegetable cornbread..."

He was about to say to find time tomorrow to buy some vegetables when Lin Hongqi suddenly said:

"The temperature in the valley behind the mountain is high; maybe the wild vegetables have already sprouted. Just as the trail behind the mountain has been repaired, haven’t visited it yet, might as well take a look later to see if we can dig up some wild vegetables."

To eat vegetable cornbread, it has to be wild vegetables for the full flavor, which indeed is a true reflection of decades ago.

Han Shuzhen also quite likes wild vegetables; she asked curiously:

"Are there wild vegetables in there?"

"Yes, last year, just before spring, we dug quite a few shepherd’s purse, dandelions, and various other wild vegetables from there, really indulged in eating wild vegetables."

Upon hearing this, Han Shuzhen said to Shen Guofu:

"Tomorrow, bring a shovel and basket, and let’s dig wild vegetables together while checking the construction situation behind the mountain."

"Alright, tomorrow after breakfast, we’ll set out."

The valley on the other side of Dragon Head Peak is quite spacious, and there’s even a river in the middle. The water from the scenic area’s reservoir flows out through that river.

Shen Guofu intends to enter and take a look; if it’s suitable for developing a scenic area, he might invest further to develop it, perhaps with a sightseeing mini train to Let tourists appreciate the valley scenery.

After the meal, Lin Xu cleaned up the kitchen and packed the leftover jelly noodles into plastic bags to put them in the refrigerator.
