Chapter 56 Bitter Melon Scrambled Eggs, Xiao Wu Cried
The ancestors of the Li family are not simple?
Li Chen really didn't know about this.
He grew up outside, and his parents occasionally said that his ancestors were a little special.
But he didn't know what was special. ✱♦
It was getting dark!
Li Chen went out with a bamboo basket, and Li Beiwu insisted on following him, so Doudou followed her.
"Why are you following? There are a lot of grass here, and you will feel itchy if you touch it."
"It's not itchy, not itchy." Li Beiwu shook his head seriously and said confidently.
"Woof woof!"
The little yellow dog Doudou also barked behind him to support the little master.
Li Chen shook his head. The little girl was clinging to him.
It's better to let her suffer a little. She didn't know that these seemingly ordinary weeds would make her itch when touched.
Li Beiwu saw that Li Chen didn't refuse, and immediately smiled happily.
The family raised poultry and pigs, so the amount of food they needed was very large.
Seeing that Li Chen was carrying a big bamboo basket, the little Li Beiwu also wanted to carry one.
It was a pity that the bamboo basket was taller than her since she was not big to begin with.
She staggered with every step, looking like someone who was about to fall down after drinking.
Woof!
Doudou watched from behind, fearing that the little master would fall down.
Li Beiwu took dark steps, and after only a few steps, she began to sway from side to side, and then began to scratch her legs.
"Daddy——"
Li Beiwu pouted, her calves began to itch.
Li Chen was mowing the grass with his head down, and glanced at Li Beiwu, and for the first time, his heart hardened.
Children always ignore the warnings of adults, always thinking that adults are lying to them.
This time, it might not be a bad thing to let her learn a lesson.
Seeing that Li Chen ignored her, Li Beiwu put down the bamboo basket angrily, and put her hands on her waist: "Ignore my daddy."
"Woof woof!" The little yellow dog Doudou rubbed against Li Beiwu's legs, denouncing Li Chen together.
Li Chen stuffed the grass into the bamboo basket and stepped on it hard a few times.
"I told you not to follow me." Li Chen said: "Dad is not playing, he is working, you know?"
"But Su's family is so itchy..." Li Beiwu looked at Li Chen aggrievedly, with tears around her big eyes.
Li Chen felt a little soft-hearted when he saw this scene.
But he still insisted: "Since you want to follow me, you have to endure it. You are not a three-year-old child anymore."
Li Beiwu pouted and snorted.
"Go back quickly."
Li Chen glanced at Li Beiwu's aggrieved little face, and waved his hand.
"I won't. Daddy isn't afraid of tickling, and neither is Xiaowu."
Li Beiwu squatted down and began to pick the red spots on her legs!
It was obviously very itchy, but she was still stubborn.
I don't know who she got this temper from.
"Woof woof..." The little yellow dog Doudou nudged Li Beiwu, and the little master said, "Go back quickly."
There are many insects in the grass in the field, and sometimes there are ants.
Children have delicate skin, and it takes a long time for the swelling to go down after being bitten.
Li Beiwu was very stubborn, and she refused to leave even though there were red spots on her legs.
Seeing this, Li Chen could only carry the bamboo basket on his back and walked to the little girl.
"Put the bamboo basket on your back."
"Daddy, hug me..."
"Put the bamboo basket on your back." Li Chen ignored her.
"Oh!" After Li Beiwu finally put the bamboo basket on her back, which was taller than her, she opened her arms again and said, "Daddy, hold me!"
Looking at Xiaowu with red marks on her legs, Li Chen sighed. After all, he was not hard enough.
When Li Chen picked her up, Li Beiwu's aggrieved face immediately broke into a smile.
She hugged Li Chen's neck and was reluctant to let go.
When they got home, they put the bamboo basket down.
Li Beiwu was so itchy that she started scratching with her hands.
Li Chen took the floral water from the house and sprayed it on Li Beiwu's calves.
"Ahhh——"
"Are you still itchy?"
"No more itchy..."
Li Chen also sprayed himself with some and said, "Just stay at home."
Li Chen carried a bucket, took out the nine-toothed rake at home, and walked towards the pond.
There were a lot of duckweed and water plants, which needed to be picked up.
As chickens, ducks and lion-headed geese gradually grow up, the amount of food they need is naturally getting bigger and bigger.
The same is true for pigs.
In the past, it could be harvested once and lasted for one or two days, but now it has to be prepared almost every day.
After getting it back, Li Chen started to chop it up and feed it.
Li Chen found that the lion-headed goose was much smarter than his own chickens and ducks.
It seems that the effect of vitality water is really good.
He also fed some pigs, anyway, he has a lot of return points now.
After finishing all this, Li Chen started to cook dinner.
The dishes in the village are the same, almost all of them are the same.
"Baba..."
"Hmm?"
"What's the matter?"
"Bitter melon."
"Is bitter melon very bitter?" Li Beiwu put his hands on his chin and watched Li Chen handle the bitter melon.
"Yeah, it's a bit bitter."
"Then Xiaowu won't eat it."
"Eating bitter melon is good for the body, it can clear away heat, detoxify, and reduce fire!"
"But it's very bitter."
"Then I'll make you some bitter melon scrambled eggs." Li Chen smiled and said, "The bitter melon made by my father is not bitter."
"Why?"
"Choose fresh and tender bitter melon, not old ones. If you slice them and soak them in salt water, they won't be bitter."
"Ahhh..."
"What is that forest..."
"This is loofah..."
Li Chen was lucky to be able to split his attention, otherwise he would be annoyed to death by the little guy.
I don't know where all the whys come from?
However, Li Chen was not impatient.
At this time, children are most eager to learn.
If parents are impatient, it is likely to dampen their curiosity and interest.
Although Li Chen is also a father for the first time, he is now able to think in other people's shoes.
When the loofah soup, bitter gourd scrambled eggs, and a bowl of potato chips were fried, Li Beiwu immediately applauded excitedly.
"It smells so good..."
This little girl will always support Li Chen at the first opportunity.
After moving the chairs, the father and daughter began to eat.
"Hmm..." Li Beiwu took a bite of bitter gourd scrambled eggs, and her little face trembled.
Then she cried out.
"Daddy lied... It's so bitter..."
Seeing this scene, Li Chen couldn't help laughing.
"Then eat another piece. What you ate just now must be an illusion."
"Respect, respect?" Li Beiwu, with tears hanging down her face, was skeptical.
Seeing that Li Chen was eating so deliciously, she swallowed her saliva unconvincingly.
"Really, Daddy won't lie to you."
Li Chen picked up some bitter melon and egg for Li Beiwu, and then demonstrated: "Look, it won't be bitter if you eat it this way."
After sniffing, Li Beiwu imitated Li Chen and took a big bite of rice.
This time the little girl didn't cry!
After being soaked in salt water, the bitter melon was very tender and almost had no bitter taste.
With the neutralization of eggs, it is naturally impossible to have too bitter taste.
But there will always be some melons that slip through the net.
Unfortunately, the first piece Li Beiwu picked up was bitter.
"Is it delicious?"
"Good, good!" Li Beiwu nodded, having forgotten that she was crying because of the bitterness just now.
Li Chen breathed a sigh of relief. It is easy to raise a foodie daughter.
As long as it's not the most unpalatable, she will accept anything.
