Chapter 24 The Queen Mother Peach
Grandpa Xu was having a great time, and his guests, Chen Dahai and his wife, all went to prepare lunch:
Enjoy choosing vegetables, Xu Zuye chops and stir-fries, Li Sufen sits under the stove and lights the fire, and Chen Dahai kills fish and rabbits.
Everyone worked together and lunch was cooked in a short time. Today’s dishes are particularly rich:
Twice-cooked pork, braised hare, watercress fish, braised pork skin, cold cucumber, stir-fried water spinach.
"It's been so many years since I've eaten at a banquet hosted by the chief!" Uncle Chen couldn't help but rub his hands while looking at the dishes on the table and said, "I remember that I followed Jialiang a lot and went to the courtyard to eat and drink. He belonged to our chief.
His cooking skills are so good that everyone in the yard gets greedy when he cooks!"
Li Sufen laughed and scolded him: "You only know how to eat in one day. When we came here, the chief cooked all the meat in the house. What will you eat after this month?"
Grandpa Xu was wiping his hands and said with a smile: "This fish is a gift from my bride-in-law, and the rabbit is also picked up from the mountain. I can't eat enough! You are welcome to eat as much as you want!"
Jinhuan took out a jar of wine in the space. It was not rice wine. It was Wuliangye given as a guest at the home of a classmate who opened a winery in his previous life. This was not mass-produced in a winery, but brewed at home according to local methods.
I gave Jinhuan a few small altars.
Because Jinhuan was interested in wine-making, and because he was acquainted with his classmate's grandfather, he also taught Jinhuan a few tricks on how to make wine. Jinhuan refused to drink white wine, so these jars of Wuliangye have been kept until now and have been buried under the wooden building.
In the wine cellar.
"Oh, this wine is so fragrant! It's like Wuliangye from Rongzhou! I'm really lucky today!" As soon as Jin Huan opened the jar, Chen Dahai sniffed and said happily.
Jin Jin smiled happily and said with eyes crooked: "Uncle Chen, you are really lucky. This wine was given to me by someone else. I didn't let Zuzu drink it because he is old. Now it's an advantage for you!"
Grandpa Xu took out his wine glass and pretended to be angry at Chen Dahai: "It's my own wine. You have to have your baby's name to drink it!"
Chen Dahai laughed loudly: "Chief, Xiao Yu'er is also thinking about your health. Please drink less for a while!"
Jinhuan saw that Grandpa Xu also set a wine glass for Li Sufen, and asked: "Auntie, can you drink too?"
"Haha, Xiao Yu'er, you don't know. Your aunt is from Nagada in the Northeast. Which girl in their area doesn't know how to drink? Your aunt can drink better than me!" Chen Dahai laughed.
explain.
Li Sufen smiled and touched Jin Huan's head: "The winter in our area is dozens of degrees below zero. I can't stand the cold without drinking some wine. But there are not many people who don't know how to drink. I started when I was as old as Xiao Yu'er.
Dip your chopsticks into wine!"
The difference between the north and the south is indeed very big. The folk customs in the Northeast are fierce, which has a lot to do with the fact that both men and women drink alcohol without restraint.
Very few women in the South can drink white wine, usually rice wine and beer. Later, those who are a little more sentimental will also choose red wine.
Jinhuan went on a business trip to the Northeast in his previous life, and was so raped by a Northeastern girl that he couldn't get out of bed for two days.
Fortunately, I didn't blush even after drinking, and I was able to carry Jin Huan back to the hotel.
The meal lasted for nearly three hours. Jinhuan made strong tea to sober everyone up, and Chen Dahai and his wife praised her for being smart and sensible.
It was already four o'clock when the couple said goodbye. Grandpa Xu left them no money for dinner, so Grandpa Xu tied the legs of the remaining hare and hung it on the spigot of his bicycle.
I also gave Santi about forty or fifty rice dumplings to Li Sufen and asked them to take them back to eat. It was not easy to buy some meat in the city. I ordered some rice dumplings at the non-staple food station, but they were snatched away after a while.
For dinner, Grandpa Xu cooked two bowls of noodles with poached eggs on them. This birthday was considered a birthday if he had eaten noodles.
Jinhuan took out two peaches. The one as big as a small grapefruit was given to Grandpa Xu, and the normal-sized one was eaten by himself.
"Little Yu'er! Are these really the peaches from the Queen Mother's peach feast?" Grandpa Xu held the big peach in his hands with a look of surprise on his face. This reaction was exactly as Jin Huan had guessed.
"I don't know. Grandpa Yu gave this to me last night. He said today is Zuzu's birthday. This is considered a birthday gift, but you can't give it to others! This little one belongs to me! Zuzu, Xiao Yu'er also wishes
You are as blessed as the East Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains!"
"Thank you, Xiao Yu'er!" Grandpa Xu clasped his hands and thanked him devoutly: "Thank you, Great Koi Immortal, Mr. Xu will accept it now!"
Jinhuan looked at Mr. Xu's nagging expression and just wanted to laugh, thinking that Mr. Xu, who was walking through the hail of bullets, should be a materialist after all, but he still had such a time.
Grandpa Xu held the big peach and took a deep breath. Just smelling the smell made people salivate. The smell was sweet and attractive, and there were no fine hairs on the peach like ordinary peaches. (How could a peach be hairless?
It’s not a nectarine, Jinhuan has already washed it in space)
As soon as I took a small bite, the sweet peach juice exploded in my mouth, making me want to take another bite.
When the juice flowed down the esophagus, Mr. Xu felt that it was not juice, but a stream of warm air rushing into his body. After going around in his stomach, it flowed to his limbs.
, making people feel comfortable all over the body.
"This is indeed a fairy peach!" Xu Zuye exclaimed to Jin Huan excitedly: "Xiao Yu'er, after eating your peach, do you feel any difference in your body?"
Jin Huan was happily gnawing on the peach. Her peach seemed not as soft as Grandpa Xu's. She chewed the fruit until the flesh was still a little crispy: "Hmm... the peach is quite sweet! It makes your stomach feel a little warm after eating it!"
This feeling is similar to the feeling of drinking spiritual spring water, except that the feeling of peach is more obvious. Is there really something special about this peach?
Grandpa Xu didn't have any special reaction when he saw the joy. He looked like a greedy little cat who was concentrating on enjoying the delicious food, and began to concentrate on eating peaches.
After eating such a big peach, Grandpa Xu didn't feel bloated in his stomach. Instead, he felt that his entire stomach was smooth and his whole body felt warm.
Especially my injured leg in my early years. Morning and evening, I feel as if the scar has been exposed to the wind. It is very cold, and even in rainy and snowy weather, I feel sore and weak that I don’t want to move.
Now the scar is a little hot, as if it's being warmed by a fire. It feels like the scar is slowly being repaired, and I feel very comfortable.
Grandpa Xu finished eating the peach, sucking all the pulp inside the cracks of the peach pit, leaving only a pit the size of an egg, and then reluctantly put it down.
This pit is more than twice as big as that of Jin Huan's peach.
Jinhuan put away the two peach stones and said, "I'll try to plant these peach stones to see if they can survive. If they survive, we will have peaches to eat every year!"
Grandpa Xu was not as optimistic as Jin Huan: "Plant it, I guess it is unlikely that you will survive. Legend has it that flat peaches only ripen once every three thousand years. I'm afraid it will be difficult in this mortal world!"
"Zu Zu, Grandpa Fish didn't say it was a fairy peach. What if it survives? If it doesn't survive, you won't suffer!" Jin Huan wanted to try it in the space. Before, the peach tree had only blossomed and failed to bear fruit.
, nothing is absolutely impossible to happen.
Grandpa Xu, who was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, touched the scar on his leg with a thoughtful expression on his face. The wound was obviously getting better. Couldn't Xiantao have such an effect?
But he couldn't hurt Xiao Yu'er's self-confidence, Xiao Bao always had to be coaxed.
Jinhuan picked up a small hoe from the barn and hurriedly ran to the vegetable patch in the yard.
Grandpa Xu saw the baby moving vigorously and said that the wind was the cause of the rain. He couldn't laugh or cry and went to help dig the hole.
While digging the hole, Jinhuan went to the kitchen and scooped out a ladle of water. It was actually the spiritual spring water in the space. Anyway, he had already planted it once, so he might as well save his money next time, just in case he accidentally planted it.
Then you will make a lot of money. This peach is definitely not ordinary at first glance.
Jinhuan put a peach stone in the pit, and Grandpa Xu was about to dig another hole, but Jinhuan stopped him: "Zuzu, let's plant one first to try, but we can't dig all the peach stones at once.
If you don’t live, it will all be in vain!”
"As long as you know what you want, ancestors will listen to you!" Grandpa Xu didn't know what to say to the fact that he planned meticulously to have fun anytime, anywhere. His ancestors were in business, but they didn't have the temperament to do so.
Enjoyable shrewdness.
When Grandpa Xu has buried the peach core and pours a ladle of water from the spiritual spring on it, it will be considered ready.
I hope the seeds can germinate and survive. Even if they don't bear fruit, it would be nice to see flowers.
After planting the peach stones, the sky is getting dark, and the Dragon Boat Festival and birthdays are over.
In the evening, Grandpa Xu drank wine today and fell asleep very early. Jin Huan went to the space and planted the big peach stone next to the original peach tree and watered it thoroughly.
Chapter completed!
