This mountain is mine

Chapter 26 I Found the Tomato

"I'll pick it up when I get back." Zhao Yishen made up his mind and continued to explore the mountains.

"Oranges." Zhao Yishen saw a patch of orange trees and counted them, there were about a dozen of them, and every tree was covered with bright yellow fruits.

"It's almost ripe again." Zhao Yixin found out that this time he went to the mountain and kept feeling sorry for these uneaten fruits.

"Yang Qing, let's go back and find someone to pick these fruits." Zhao Yixin said to Shen Yang Qing.

"There are too many, I can't finish eating them." Shen Yang shook his head.

"It can be used to make other things, just like the cherries last time." Zhao Yixin thought that oranges can be made into fruit wine, and orange peels can also be dried to make tangerine peel.

"It turns out that oranges can still do this. We have very few oranges here, so we know this fruit too well." Shen Yangqing said.

"Last time I asked Jia Jia if he had ever seen a tomato, and he said he had seen it at the apricot tree." Zhao Yixin never forgot about tomatoes, and he liked to eat sour things when he was pregnant, but there was nothing sour in his meals. put in.

There are pickled sour plums in the village, but the third uncle said that it is not good to eat too many sour plums.If Shen Yangqing hadn't brought him fruits every day, his mouth would have been extremely uncomfortable.

"The apricot tree is over there." Shen Yangqing brought Zhao Yixin to the place where the apricot tree grew.

"A lot of apricots." Zhao Yishen saw the apricot tree full of apricots at a glance, but the apricots were still green at this moment.

"The apricots will mature in a month." Shen Yangqing said.It's a pity that Zhao Yishen can't eat it when it's ripe, because pregnant people can't eat apricots and the like.

"I can't eat again." Zhao Yixin was a little disappointed.The third uncle said that he can't touch these things.

"Apricots can also be made into dried apricots, which can be eaten after giving birth." Shen Yangqing comforted him.

"It's different. There are so many fresh fruits in front of you, but you can only look at them and not eat them." Although the apricots can be saved for later, they are no longer fresh.

"There will be more next year." Shen Yangqing couldn't help laughing, because Zhao Yixin was rarely childish, and now Zhao Yixin is as depressed as a child who can't eat sugar.

"What are you laughing at, help me find where there are tomatoes." Zhao Yixin put away his depressed expression and said to Shen Yangqing.

"Okay." Shen Yangqing began to search around.Zhao Yixin searched with him for a while, and soon found it not far away.

Zhao Yixin was very happy to find the tomato, he was finally going to improve his food.And there are a lot of tomatoes here, probably because no one eats them, these tomatoes fell to the ground and rotted, and the seeds took root and germinated on the spot.

"Let's pick the ripe ones first." Zhao Yixin began to pick them.

"You stay aside, I'll come." Shen Yang Qing was afraid that he would be tired, and didn't want him to do anything.

"It's okay, I can do it." Zhao Yixin didn't listen to Shen Yangqing, and continued to pick tomatoes.

"If you are tired, stop and rest." Zhao Yixin was unwilling, so Shen Yangqing had no choice but to tell him.

"Understood, I won't make myself tired." Zhao Yixin knew his physical condition, and he wouldn't make fun of himself and his children.

The tomato heart is so tiring, not only will it be picked, but it will also be abused.Forget it, let's keep warm.

Because only one bag was brought, the two of them stopped picking after one bag was full.

"I've gained a lot today!" Zhao Yixin said as he walked.

"Slow down." Shen Yangqing held Zhao Yixin while carrying things.He finally found out that once Zhao Yixin got excited, he would walk faster.

The two returned to the village, just in time to make lunch.

"Look at what Yang Qing and I brought back." Zhao Yixin opened the bag for everyone to see.

"Is this the tomato you were talking about?" Yu Jia said.Last time Zhao Yixin asked him if he had seen a tomato.

"Chengzi, can this be eaten?" Lin Cheng asked.

"Yes. This plant is called a tomato. It can be eaten raw or cooked." After washing the tomatoes, Zhao Yixin first picked one up and put it in his mouth.

"Hmm... so sweet." The tomato in Zhao Yixin's hand was already ripe, and it tasted sweet and delicious.

"It looks very good, let's try it too." Seeing that Zhao Yixin ate deliciously, the others couldn't help picking it up to eat.

"Well...the taste is really good." The tomato is sweet and sour, with a lot of juice, and the taste is very refreshing.

"Chengzi, how do you think this tomato is used for cooking?" Like his family, Lin Cheng also likes to cook.He is interested in anything that can be cooked.

"Tomatoes can be used to make soup, or scrambled eggs, or they can be fried with pork. Stewed potatoes or beef brisket are delicious." Zhao Yixin remembered what was said in the book. eat heart.

"We have potatoes and eggs, why don't we use scrambled eggs and stewed potatoes." Lin Cheng suggested.

Everyone has no opinion, because they don't know.Lin Cheng decided to try two dishes first, and he asked Zhao Yixin to guide him.

"Should the tomato stew be put first, the potato first, or both?" Lin Cheng asked.

Lin Cheng's question made Zhao Yixin confused.He only knows that there is this dish, but he doesn't know how to make it.

"Why are you dumbfounded?" Lin Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.Forget it, he'd better figure it out by himself.

"Just watch and let it go." Zhao Yixin rubbed his nose, feeling a little guilty.

"I guess the tomato is put first, because the tomato is easier to boil." Yu Jia said.

"First cook the tomatoes into a sauce, then put the potatoes to stew." Shen Yangqing, who has been silently washing the vegetables since his return, said.

"Brother, how did you know?" Shen Yangqing said very reasonable, everyone was curious how he knew, after all, even Zhao Yixin didn't know about it.

Zhao Yixin also looked at Shen Yangqing curiously, when did Shenyang Qing become so smart?

"I'm just guessing, this dish is called tomato stew, which means potatoes are stewed with tomatoes. It's not much like our stews. We use juice to juice the meat, so I guess the same is true for stewed potatoes with tomatoes The truth." Shen Yang said.

"That's right." Zhao Yixin gave Shen Yang an approving look.

"Brother is really reasonable." Yu Jia said, "Brother guessed the recipe of tomato stewed potatoes through stewed meat. This is called inference! Isn't it Chengzi?"

"Jiajia is right." Zhao Yishen laughed, Shen Yangqing and Yu Jia were simply his favorite students.

"What about scrambled eggs with tomato?" Someone asked.

"I guess the eggs are scrambled first, because the tomato juice is very watery. If you scramble the tomatoes first and then put the eggs in, the eggs will melt into the water and lose their texture." This time, Lin Cheng showed his talent for cooking. "This is the same as frying other dishes with eggs."

"It's drawing inferences again, it seems that life is full of knowledge!"
