Golden Fishing Village

Lu Zhizi had no classes in the morning, so she followed Ao Muyang to the lake to spread water chestnut seedlings. For her, this kind of work on the lake was quite interesting.

The Ambergris Lake in early spring was very beautiful, the water was calm, and the lake water was green and clear, like a mirror. The general lay on the bow and looked down. There was a golden shorthair with sharp eyes, a wide mouth and a big head.

After staring at the lake for a while, he suddenly became excited and shouted at the lake: "Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof!"

Ao Muyang said: "Don't bark, silly dog, that's your reflection."

The general didn't understand what he said. He looked back at Ao Muyang and shook his tail for a while. Finally, he stared at the lake and couldn't bear it anymore, so he barked again.

Ao Muyang was about to call out again, but Lu Zhizi rolled his eyes and said, "Hey, let it bark, it's looking for something to do."

"It's annoying me."

Lu Zhizi pointed to the lake and said, "General, go down and bite it."

The general understood the order and jumped in immediately, his ears erect and the hair on the back of his neck standing up, as fierce as a tiger.

It was confused when it jumped into the water, and it couldn't find the dog that deserved a beating!

This way it stopped barking, and Ao Muyang could enjoy the spring lake again.

The water grass on the lake develops earlier than the grass and trees on land. The ducks know when the river water warms in spring, and the water grass and algae know it earlier.

The green lake grass swayed underwater. They are Wensi grass, commonly known as Zhuanzhuanwei. They have upright and slender stems and ribbon-shaped lanceolate leaves. They are widely distributed in the surrounding water towns.

There are also water grasses such as cattail and duckweed. The water grass in spring grows soft and tender, with a green color. It is so tender that water will come out when you pinch it with your hands.

A breeze from the lake blew, carrying a faint scent of flowers. Several white water birds flew over the lake, sometimes skimming, sometimes flying high, and sometimes diving, full of a relaxed and comfortable taste.

Lu Zhizi closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then turned back and smiled: "Wow, it seems so."

Ao Muyang said: "This is the scent of elm seeds, especially fragrant."

Lu Zhizi said: "Yes, I know this, elm seeds can be used for cooking, right?"

Ao Muyang asked: "You haven't eaten it? Elm seed rice tastes pretty good."

Speaking of eating, Lu Zhizi immediately showed an expectant look: "Really? I haven't eaten it, can you make it for me?"

Ao Muyang smiled and said: "That's no problem, even if you eat it until you vomit."

There are many elm trees planted around Longxiang Lake. Elm seeds are the seeds of elm trees. Every spring in March and April, elm seeds grow on elm trees, and every household starts to pick elm seeds to make elm seed rice.

The name of elm money is nice, and it is homophonic to "surplus money". It is rich in nutrition, delicious, and beautiful when raw. It looks like a string of copper coins hung with straw ropes in ancient times. Fishermen like them very much.

However, with the development of the economy, elm money rice is no longer so popular. This thing is eaten for the sake of freshness. If it is delicious, it is definitely not as good as beef, mutton, lobster, crab, etc.

The weather was warm at noon, and Ao Muyang took Lu Zhizi to pick elm money.

On the tall elm tree, strings of green elm money swayed in the wind, and the surrounding fragrance was bursting, and the breath of spring was even stronger.

Ao Muyang spat on his palm and said, "Just wait, I'll go up and pick elm seeds for you."

Lu Zhizi was a little worried and said, "I'm not afraid of you going into the sea, but why am I not very relieved when you climb up?"

Ao Muyang said, "Hey, what's there to worry about? It's nothing. I tell you, when I was a kid, I could climb trees and houses. People in the village called me flying on the grass..."

He jumped up with a run-up and climbed up the tree with both hands.

The general watched him climb up and jumped up, but the dog's limbs were not convenient for climbing trees. It jumped very hard and hit the tree with a bang. The elm tree shook twice when it hit its head.

Ao Muyang didn't hold it firmly and almost fell down. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and pushed the tree trunk with his palm halfway to jump steadily on the ground.

The general knew that he had made trouble, so he immediately ran away with his tail between his legs, and then jumped into a pile of bushes, revealing only half of his head and two eyes to observe the situation.

Ao Muyang pointed at it and said, "You are so naughty, wait and see how I will deal with you later."

He climbed up the tree again, and this time it was very smooth, climbing up in a few steps.

The head of state followed slowly, and Ao Muyang picked the elm seeds with his hands, and it came to help. Its little claws were so sharp, like a knife, and it scratched the handle of the elm seeds, and an elm seed fell down.

It looked back at Ao Muyang, who gave him a thumbs up: "Well done, head of state, just do it like this, I wouldn't have come up if I had known."

Ao Muyang picked them himself, and the head of state scratched off the elm seeds and Lu Zhizi picked them up under the tree. The general swung his tail and came over to pick them up with his mouth, and rubbed his head against Lu Zhizi in a flattering way, probably hoping that there would be someone to shelter him from the wind and rain when he was beaten later.

After picking half a bag of elm seeds, Ao Muyang tested the weight and said, "Okay, let's go home and have elm seed rice tonight."

Lu Zhizi said, "Isn't it a little too little? I know they can only be steamed out of a large ball of rice."

Ao Muyang shook his head, "That's enough. Elm seed rice is not that delicious. When the locust flowers come, I will take you to pick locust flowers and make locust flower rice. This is delicious."

However, there are no bad ingredients in the world, only bad chefs. As long as the method is right, elm seed rice can also taste very good, even better than locust flower rice, such as seafood elm seed rice.

Ao Muyang washed the elm seed leaves, mixed them with flour and steamed a small pot first. Egg white should be mixed into the flour so that it will taste more fragrant after steaming.

The elm seed rice came out of the pot, and the green leaves still had a delicate feeling under the background of white flour. A fresh fragrance flowed out with the hot steam, which made people easily have a primitive appetite.

Ao Muyang mixed two kinds of sauces, one was garlic paste and the other was seafood sauce.

Garlic paste and elm seed rice are a perfect match. The steaming elm seed rice was sprinkled with garlic paste. He took a bite in his mouth, and a unique smell spread. It was hard to say what the specific smell was, but it made people's appetite.

When seafood sauce was mixed into the elm seed rice, it was another taste. The fresh fragrance and the fresh fragrance were blended. The two flavors did not suppress each other, but set off each other, and the fragrance was more intense.

Lu Zhizi sat at the door and ate the elm seed rice happily. The general came up and licked his lips, and scratched her knee with his paw. The dog's face was full of expectation.

But it was in vain. Lu Zhizi did not share it with it, which made it very unwilling, so it scratched her leg with its paw again.

Lu Zhizi protected the plate and shook his head, saying, "It's not delicious, it's really not delicious, you don't like it."

The general was very angry and continued to try to pull her legs with his claws: Are you lying to the dog? I can hear the sound of your lips smacking!

Lu Zhizi threw a ball to it, it quickly took it in its mouth, and then spit it out quickly, wagging its tail and running to find its meat bones: This is still delicious.

"Hey, how spoiled is this kid?" Ao Muyang was so angry that he wanted to slap its butt, but the general ran away.
