Zhou Guo poured him a bowl and said, "This pickled fish is only delicious when served with rice. It's hot now, if you find it too cold, just put some soup in it."
These cold rice and cold steamed buns are all kept cool with ice cubes, otherwise they will become smelly in half a day in this hot weather.
But not much could be frozen, and rice was harder to carry than steamed buns, so everyone in the family except Zhou Guo and Zhou Suli ate steamed buns.
Zhou Guo took a bite of cold rice. It was a little cold, but the weather was just right.
Picked up a piece of fish.
Stewed with sauerkraut, the fish meat is fresh and tasty, sour and numbing, and already very tasty. I praised it: "Delicious!"
It tastes better than at home.
The old man ate a piece and nodded, "It's good. Although it can't be compared with the ones back then, it's already very good, almost the same."
The whole family tried it and everyone thought it was delicious.
Zhou Su said, "Why don't we eat in the mountains from now on? Why do I feel that eating outside tastes better than at home?"
Li Lai said: "Okay, let's eat this fish every day."
Zhou Mai said: "No matter how delicious it is, you can't eat it every day for many meals. Don't you always ask for more crabs every year, but in the end you don't even look at them?"
This family has a deep understanding of this.
Matsutake mushroom, lamb mushroom and crab roe, these delicious things are so delicious that it’s hard to resist eating them every day.
Zhou Guo listened to them talking while concentrating on eating, while looking at Hu Zi and the others who were also eating happily on the other side. Although it was a hot day, they all liked the fish in the pot very much and kept picking up pieces to eat.
Hei Dadan lay down and gnawed on a bone. Zhou Guo would throw it a piece of meat from time to time. The big dog would wag its tail and gnaw happily.
In addition to fish, roasted rabbit meat and roasted pheasant are also delicious, and they are all roasted by the old man.
The family hasn’t eaten the meat grilled by the old man for a long time, and everyone liked it more than the other.
Although the old man was eating, he occasionally glanced at the plate and couldn't suppress the smile.
After the meal, everyone was sweating profusely.
Zhou Guo finally drank a bowl of fish soup. After he finished eating the fish and sauerkraut, the remaining soup was also delicious.
Li was reluctant to throw it away, and said as she looked at the hot pot, "Save it for making noodles tomorrow morning."
Zhou Mai said: "It's OK, but won't it be bad?"
Zhou Guo said, "Pour it into a clay pot and put it in ice cubes to cool it down. Can it last a night?"
By the time everything was cleaned up, the sun had set.
The stars in the sky began to come out slowly. The family sat on the ground, enjoying the evening breeze and looking at the stars in the sky without saying a word.
After a while, Li said, "Back then, we never thought that we would be able to live like this. At that time, we were thankful that we could make it to the North alive."
The whole family was silent.
Zhou Guo thought of her grandparents and Xiao Taozi who had passed away on the way, and sighed in her heart. In the face of disaster, the power of one person is too small after all, and she couldn't protect everyone.
I don’t know what Zhou Mai and the others are thinking.
Although they both live in the wild and it is still summer, their situations are different and their moods are naturally very different. Now they no longer have to worry about three meals a day and no longer have to worry about not having the next meal after the last one.
I finally feel like praising the beautiful stars in the sky.
If we had seen this thing in the past, we would only worry that tomorrow would be another sunny day and the journey would be difficult, and we would all curse. When traveling at night, we would also curse why they were not as bright as the moon and could not be seen clearly at all.
Zhou Guo lay on the ground with his hands behind his head, listening to the chatter of his family members and thinking about the interesting things that happened during the escape. He fell asleep soon.
At night, Hu Zi and Er Pang took turns to keep watch. After all, they were in the wilderness, and it would be bad if they encountered any wild beasts, robbers or something like that.
Nothing happened all night.
On the second day, Zhou Guo got up early, feeling refreshed, and practiced a set of boxing techniques, then went to the river to wash his face.
The family cooked a big pot of noodles with last night's fish soup. This amount was definitely not enough. Fortunately, there were a lot of vegetables on the carriage, including various meats and cooked food, all of which were poured into it.
You can steam the meat patties and steamed buns, and you can also eat them as snacks.
Zhou Guo didn't know what he ate, he ate everything. Anyway, he was full in the end, so he set off on his journey before the sun came out.
The group walked and rested like this, and when they arrived in Huaiyang, there were only three days left before Zhou Dacang's return.
As Hei Dadan arrived at the place, he rushed out of the car, barked excitedly at the unfamiliar village, then rushed forward and disappeared.
When the bald man saw them coming, he suddenly rushed out, greeted Li and his group, and went to find Zhou Guo.
"Boss, you are finally here. I have been looking forward to seeing you for many days, and I was worried that you would not come."
Zhou Guo said: "How can we not come? Even if it's not for you, we will come for our General Zhou. How is it? Is there any news from the military camp?"
The bald-headed man asked, "Didn't the general forbid us to inquire about the news over there?"
Zhou Guo paused, looked at him and said, "When did he stop us from asking around? He only told me not to send anything to the camp or go up the mountain. Did he not allow us to get information?"
The bald-headed man suddenly realized and slapped his head and said, "So that's how it is. Then I'll go and arrange for someone right away?"
Zhou Guo nodded, "Go ahead, find a place that is less likely to be discovered. Well, don't go to that place on the mountain."
Baldhead went there excitedly.
The old man asked, "Were you caught while secretly watching?"
Zhou Guo chuckled, "After my uncle became a general, he seemed to have become an immortal. He seemed to know everything I did. Master, what do you think is going on? Is the military camp really that good for training people?"
The old man said with his hands behind his back, "How else could it be? He is a general, doesn't he have anyone under his command? You have someone but he doesn't? He must know your whereabouts. He came to the manor to take a look. If he didn't see you, he would naturally know."
Zhou Guo said: "I guess so. My uncle is really powerful. He has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command. It's unbelievable to think about it."
To be honest, the old man also found it hard to believe. Who could have thought that the child who was dressed in rags would become a general one day?
As soon as Li got out of the car, he asked, "Where is the kitchen? Kitchen, quickly unload the things and put them in the kitchen. Is there any ice in the farm? Many things need to be frozen, otherwise they won't last a night."
The originally quiet farm suddenly became active. When everyone saw the boss coming, they all rushed up to work, hoping to show off in front of the boss and get some reward money.
Once Li entered the kitchen, she never came out.
Zhou Mai and Zhou Mi took Zhou Su and Li Laiman to visit the farm. There were crab ponds, paddy fields, fruit fields, and vegetable gardens. This place was much better than the one in Song County.
Song County is a barren land with nothing in it. The trees on the nearby mountains are sparse, and people have to go to the mountains dozens of miles away to hunt.
Zhou Guo went into the kitchen and pulled Li out, saying, "Mom, my uncle won't be back for another two days. You can still come tomorrow to take care of these things. You must be tired after sitting in the car for so long. Come on, I'll take you to the farm. You haven't been here before."
