Guan's mother worked in a food company and then a theater troupe. Her cooking skills are recognized by the dormitory of the sugar and wine company as a master. Even the mother who refuses to accept this must admit it.

When she saw Zhou Zhiguan's mother, she said angrily: "It sounds like it's a holiday, but it turns out that no one is around during this holiday. Instead, it's a rare visitor."

After speaking, she smiled at Jiang Shuyi and said, "The good girl has been here a few times and asked Tingting to listen to the tape and watch the video."

Jiang Shuyi nodded and smiled at Guan's mother: "Hello, aunt, I have caused trouble for you."

"Shu Yi is good." Guan's mother said: "There's still a while, I'm going to work, you guys figure out how to play. Why is there still food on the elbow?"

Zhou Zhi put the black bean fish on the table: "It seems that this method is rare in Jiachuan. Let Auntie try it."

Guan Tingting nodded: "This is delicious! Brother Zhuzi and I specially asked for it!"

"Your elbow brother will spoil you!" Guan's mother smiled and said, "Go ahead!"

Zhou Zhi thought for a while: "How about we go to the rooftop and clean up the pigeon house."

The rooftop is actually a good place. In the past, several people who liked to grow flowers and vegetables all set up a small piece of land on the roof of the building.

Jiachuan is not cold even in winter, the grape leaves have fallen off, and after the vine crops have been cleaned up, the entire roof has better light.

In the small vegetable garden surrounded by bricks and stones, the nutritious humus soil nourishes vegetables, cabbage, radish, garlic sprouts, chives, coriander... and creates a prosperous scene.

Yang He made a wooden ladder under the cement platform to go up to the Pigeon Tower. The tenons of the wooden ladder are stuck in the small flower window of the brick hole, which is very strong.

The space under the wooden ladder has also been turned into a tool room, which contains various agricultural and carpentry tools that can be shared by everyone.

Because of the problem of pigeon droppings, the place where the laundry table used to be was demolished, and the masonry and cement boards became the support wall on one side of the wooden ladder in the tool room.

The space left is just right to place a thick wooden board as a bench, with an awning propped up on top, where you can sit and watch the small vegetable garden.

If it comes to summer, the entire rooftop will be covered by large and small green leaves, with grapes, loofahs, cucumbers and other fruits hanging down, which is actually very beautiful.

Arriving at the top of the building, Jiang Shuyi stood below and Guan Tingting stood in the middle. Zhou Zhi climbed to the pigeon house, opened the door, asked the person below to hand over a dustpan and broom, and began to sweep away the pigeon droppings.

The cells inside are filled with pigeon nests, which are similar to fixed drawer cells. Many pigeons are hatching eggs and nesting in the nests.

There was also a group of about ten fat pigeons on the ground. As soon as Zhou Zhi came in, they flopped onto the shed outside, cooing to express their dissatisfaction.

There were also a few pigeons leaving eggs in their nests in the lower drawers, which Zhou Zhi took away immediately after cleaning them.

After cleaning, you need to check, add straw to some littered nests, and check the feed troughs and water troughs.

The pigeons here are all nominally Guan Tingting's, but several of the homing pigeons were obtained by Zhou Zhisi's cousin from the pigeon association. They are of good breed, and Zhou Zhi still strictly controls the pedigree.

It is to keep two better breeds together for breeding when the pigeons are in estrus, and try to get better offspring.

However, I had previously seeded Guan Tingting's pigeons, and now the pigeon shed has introduced vegetable pigeons to Guan's mother. The great cause of pigeon raising can basically be declared aborted like the great fish raising business.

The ambition to fly my own pigeons at Yumen Pass has now turned into a daily practice of sweeping and feeding the pigeons, and watching them circle freely in the sky above Jiachuan.

It sounds simple, but in fact it is a lot of work. The most important thing is to check the roof and the feet of the house to see if there are any traces of mice.

When Zhou Zhi came out of the pigeon house, in addition to tools, Zhou Zhi also had a straw nest with six or seven pigeon eggs: "This vegetable pigeon lays eggs like a hen."

Jiang Shuyi was already sitting on the bench reading a book. When she saw some movement here, she took off the headset of the radio player and said, "This rooftop vegetable garden is so comfortable. There is nothing like it in the dormitory of the Agricultural Machinery Bureau."

"That's right." Zhou Zhi felt amused: "What you are playing in is the vegetable field. You can plant it in the wasteland around the Agricultural Machinery Bureau. Of course you can't look at the roof of the building."

"Why didn't I know?" Jiang Shuyi was a little surprised.

"You, you don't hear what's going on outside the window." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Lao Yin in your reception office has planted a circle around it. The pumpkins and winter melons I brought to your house twice were planted by Lao Yin. You have eaten them.

I don’t know yet.”

"Really? Those pumpkins and winter melons were given by Grandpa Yin?"

"Otherwise?" Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Do you think it's cool for me to bring a winter melon to your door?"

Jiang Shuyi's face suddenly turned red again: "You started talking nonsense again."

Zhou Zhi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt so wronged. He really didn't mean to make fun of him just now, and he misunderstood this girl.

However, it was still hard to explain, but fortunately, Mama Guan’s voice sounded from downstairs: “Elbow Shuyi, and Tingting, come down!”

There is a saying that stewing squab or chicken with gastrodia elata leaves only the meat but not the bones. Why? Because if the bones are included, the medicinal effect will penetrate into the bones of the chicken and pigeon, and the human body cannot absorb it.

arrive.

However, Zhou Zhi thinks that is nonsense. As the saying goes, any discussion of efficacy without regard to dosage is a hooliganism.

Guan Mama had enough Gastrodia elata, and it was still fresh. She cut it into thin slices and steamed it with pieces of pigeon meat. The soup in the stew pot was clear and bright. The sweetness of Gastrodia elata and the fragrance of pigeon complemented each other.

There are also two pigeon eggs in each stew pot, which is Guan's mother's ingenuity.

Usually the pigeon and gastrodia stew is made in two cups. Mother Guan must not have expected Jiang Shuyi's arrival, but this is not a problem for her. The ingredients are sufficient originally, but now the portion is a little less evenly divided into three cups, just in each cup

Added two pigeon eggs inside.

"How is Shuyi?" Zhou Zhi asked while taking a spoon and eating from his own cup: "This is Guan Ma's specialty. I don't know how to choose Gastrodia elata."

Gastrodia elata can easily become sour and even smell like urine, but really fresh or well-prepared gastrodia elata does not have such problems.

However, the problem arises, how to distinguish good Gastrodia elata from bad Gastrodia elata based on appearance alone is another science.

"It's delicious." Jiang Shuyi nodded, and then said to Guan Ma, who was holding her chin and watching the three children eating the stew pot, "Thank you, Auntie."

"Thank you. I'd like to come again next time." Guan Ma said with a smile: "You guys hurry up and eat. This is just an appetizer. After I'm done, I'm going to make the loach. The soy bean paste and pickled peppers are a bit spicy. I'm afraid you won't be able to eat them in the stew pot.

It smells so good that I don’t even dare to make it first.”

After finishing the stew, Guan Ma started cooking. Guan Tingting invited Jiang Shuyi to play in her room.

Guan Tingting's room is what the most fashionable little girl in the county should look like in this era.

The two kings - Andy Lau and Aaron Kwok - were posted on the wall. Poor Jacky Cheung, although he was the best singer, was ruthlessly suppressed by Guan Tingting, who was studying vocal music, because of his appearance and was not allowed to go on the wall.

Li Ming is actually pretty good, but in Guan Tingting's eyes she is a bit "rustic" and she doesn't like it either.

The fate of female stars here is even more difficult. They can be said to be the iron-clad second-tier kings and the most popular female stars.

Posted on the wall now is Meng Tingwei, who just released his famous solo album "Look at the Face of the Moon".
