As expected of a couple, Wang Meilan wants to treat today, and Zhao Youcai also wants to treat.
As expected of a father and son, Zhao Jun wanted to wait until winter to hunt more lynxes, and Zhao Youcai thought the same way.
Therefore, Zhao Youcai wanted to invite Li Dayong and Lin Xiangshun to his home with the help of the good food he brought back from the canteen, and even drink and discuss the siege.
As soon as the train arrived at the station, Li Ruhai followed the crowd and got off the train first, then trotted towards the village.
He was going to tell the folks in Yong'an Village the story of the young guard who bravely fought against the little devil.
As soon as Li Ruhai ran away, Zhang Laifa followed him closely, but wherever Zhang Laifa went, the crowd dispersed.
This kid smells like urine. He's been so hard for a day, and the smell is getting stronger and stronger.
When Li Ruhai entered the village, he went straight to the canteen. But before he could run far, he met a woman who was very familiar with him.
This woman's surname is Chen, and her name is Chen Xiaohong. When Li Ruhai was a child, Jin Xiaomei took four-year-old Li Ruhai to the field when she was working in the fields. When Chen Xiaohong saw Li Ruhai, she gave him sorghum poles to eat.
As for Chen Xiaohong, her husband's surname was Sun, so Li Ruhai called her Aunt Sun.
"Aunt Sun!" Li Ruhai ran to Chen Xiaohong and said, "I have something to tell you."
This Chen Xiaohong is also a camel dealer from six countries. When she saw Li Ruhai coming, she also said excitedly: "Ruhai, I also have something to tell you!"
To use an inappropriate analogy, gossip to Li Ruhai is like a daughter-in-law, her own is always not as fresh as others’.
Therefore, when he had gossip and Chen Xiaohong also had gossip, Li Ruhai said decisively: "Aunt Sun, you speak first!"
As soon as Li Ruhai finished speaking, Chen Xiaohong said: "Ruhai, Zhang Laibao is back!"
"Ouch!" When Li Ruhai heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Is he ready now?"
"It's not easy." Chen Xiaohong curled her lips and shook her head, saying: "The hospital car was pulled back by him, and his uncle carried him in. I think he can't even get off the ground."
"I have to go take a look!" After hearing this, Li Ruhai was about to go to Zhang Laibao's house. Such a big thing happened in the village, and he didn't know about it until now. Compared with this incident, the incident of Zhang Laifa being splashed with urine was still a big deal.
What a piece of shit?
"Ruhai!" At this time, Chen Xiaohong called out to Li Ruhai loudly. Li Ruhai turned around and asked Chen Xiaohong in surprise: "Aunt Sun, is there anything new?"
"Yes!" Chen Xiaohong nodded and said, "Today, Zhao Jun and Big Crotch brought back a whole wild boar from the mountains."
"Oh, that's it?" Li Ruhai shook his head after hearing this and said with a smile: "My eldest brother catches pigs and beats bears. Isn't that commonplace?"
"No." Chen Xiaohong said: "They both came back alive today!"
"Alive?" When Li Ruhai heard this, he stopped in surprise and asked Chen Xiaohong: "How big is the wild boar? Is it still alive?"
"But it's not small." Chen Xiaohong said: "I heard that it weighed about 200 kilograms. They killed the pig when they came back and put it in the big pot set up in the courtyard of Lao Zhao's house. They killed the pig and cooked it."
"Pork-killing vegetables?" Li Ruhai said in surprise: "Is there a banquet at my uncle's house?"
"Yeah." Chen Xiaohong nodded and said, "There are several families here, your mother and your sister are all there."
"Oh, Aunt Sun, I'm going home first!" Upon hearing that there was such a big event at home, Li Ruhai hurriedly ran home. What kind of brat does it take to piss? What kind of roast chicken is coming home? That's all a joke.
Huh?
At this time, Zhao Youcai and the others had gone their separate ways, and Lin Xiangshun went to his house. He wanted to tell Xu Chunyan that he was going to his second uncle's house for dinner in the evening.
But when Lin Xiangshun was about to arrive home, Li Yuan saw that his home was dark.
This startled Lin Xiangshun, who hurriedly ran home, entered the courtyard, came in front of the house, opened the door, entered the house and turned on the light.
When the light came on, Lin Xiangshun saw a note on the kang table with a few words written on it: "I took Dabao to my second uncle's house to eat pig meat."
Lin Xiangshun was a little confused after reading this. He only has one second uncle, Zhao Youcai. But Zhao Youcai just asked him to eat braised pork belly with cabbage and vermicelli. Why is he eating butchered vegetables again?
With doubts in his mind, Lin Xiangshun put the note down on the table and hurried out.
But at this time, Lin Xiangshun tried to chase Zhao Youcai, but he couldn't catch up. Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong and Li Baoyu were almost home.
At this time, in the courtyard of Zhao Jun's house, Wang Qiang was carrying a large iron basin, and Zhao Jun used a large spoon to fill the basin with vegetables.
The aroma of sauerkraut, blood sausage, pork belly, and liver slices filled the yard and gradually spread.
This big pot of food is filled with a big pot.
How big is this big basin?
Wang Qiang opened his arms just enough to hug it.
Zhao Jun went to the house and opened the door for Wang Qiang. Wang Qiang quickly entered the house with a basin in his hand.
At this time, the braised pork cooked by the old lady in Zhao Jun's house was also out of the pot.
This old lady is really good at making braised pork that is both delicious and delicious. The jujube-red meat is tempting to look at.
After the braised pork was out of the pot, Yang Yufeng started cooking. At the same time, Jin Xiaomei handed over a pot of rice and beans from the partition wall of the courtyard, and Zhao Ling took it from here and carried it into the house.
This bean rice is not steamed in a drawer, but simmered directly in a large pot. This leaves a layer of burnt rice under the rice, and a large piece of rice is buckled on the bean rice.
When this was placed on the kang table, a group of children gathered around.
The old lady smiled and broke open the rice cakes and gave them to the children. These children chewed the rice cakes, which had a different taste compared to the meatballs.
"Madam, you eat too." Among these children, Xiao Lingdang was the oldest and the most sensible. When she saw the old lady smiling and watching the children eating the rice cakes, she handed the rice cakes in her hand to the old lady. p>
The old lady was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook her head, and said kindly: "You can eat the bell, my wife can't bite this."
After hearing this, Xiao Lingdang put the rice cake in her mouth and took a bite. The rice cake was delicious and fragrant, and the more she chewed, the more delicious it became.
After the braised sauerkraut and braised pork are served, the other side dishes will be ready soon.
Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong and Li Baoyu, who had not yet arrived home at this time, all smelled the smell of sauerkraut in the air.
Zhao Youcai sniffed and said to Li Dayong in disbelief: "Dayong, whose family is making sauerkraut?"
Li Dayong heard this and said with a smile: "Can't someone kill the pig?"
Zhao Youcai laughed and said: "Who can kill pigs at this time..."
Before Zhao Youcai finished speaking, the three of them were outside Zhao's courtyard. Through the light coming from the house, Zhao Youcai vaguely saw something standing in his yard.
Zhao Youcai hurriedly entered the hospital, followed closely by Li Dayong and Li Baoyu.
The pig-killing door panel has been removed, and the remaining pig heads, pig hooves, pig tails and skins have also been put into the warehouse.
But the earthen stove standing against the wall was still there, and with the strong smell of pickled cabbage, a thought flashed through Zhao Youcai's mind: "What the hell are these two doing at home?"
At this moment, the door of the Li family room in the next courtyard opened, and Jin Xiaomei came out with two plates of food.
Wang Meilan had calculated before that there were five members of her family, five members of the Li family, three members of Zhang Yuanmin's family, four members of Wang Qiang's family, three members of Lin Xiangshun's family, plus an old lady, making a total of twenty-one people.
There were six women and seven children here, excluding Li Ruhai.
The eight men sat at the same table, and the women and children crowded together at the same table. Anyway, the children were probably full after eating meatballs and the like, and they couldn't take more than a few bites at the table.
Since there are two tables, all dishes must be served in two portions. At this time, Jin Xiaomei brought out two plates of bracken and wild boar shreds.
Jin Xiaomei originally planned to call someone to come out and bring the dishes, but when she saw Zhao Youcai and the others were back, she immediately greeted Zhao Youcai with a smile, and then called Li Baoyu: "Son, come and bring the dishes in."
"Ah." Li Baoyu responded in confusion, while Zhao Youcai pointed to the earthen stove and asked Jin Xiaomei: "Brothers and sisters, what are you doing?"
"What about killing pigs and cooking them?" Jin Xiaomei pointed to the Zhao family's house with a smile and said, "Brother, hurry in and the dishes will be ready soon."
Zhao Youcai: "..."
He clenched the mesh bag in his hand, pursed his lips and said nothing.
At this time, the door of his house was pushed open from the inside. Wang Qiang came out and saw that Zhao Youcai and the others were back, and Li Baoyu was still holding dishes in his hand. Wang Qiang held the open door with his hand and said to Zhao Youcai.
Said: "Brother-in-law, what else are you looking at? Come into the house quickly."
Listening to the laughter of children coming from his own home, Zhao Youcai entered the house carrying his lunch box.
As soon as he stepped through the door, all kinds of aromas hit his nose. Xu Chunyan, who was in front of the big pot, cooking lungs in a ladle, greeted Zhao Youcai and the others: "Second uncle, Uncle Li, Baoyu."
"Sister-in-law." Li Baoyu nodded and then handed the plate in his hand to Zhao Jun and Zhang Yuanmin.
When he saw Xu Chunyan, Zhao Youcai squinted his eyes. He thought of Lin Xiangshun who came home to report the news, and he didn't know what to say.
Li Baoyu was sincere, he smiled at Xu Chunyan and said: "Sister-in-law, my uncle asked my brother Shunzi to come home for dinner, and my brother Shunzi has to go home and tell you."
"Huh?" Hearing this, Xu Chunyan glanced at Zhao Youcai in surprise and asked, "Second uncle, did you know that pigs were killed today?"
Zhao Youcai blinked, not knowing what to say. Could it be that he came back with good food and planned to ask Lin Xiangshun to come over for dinner?
If this is the case, Xu Chunyan will have to think about what you are doing and let my Shunzi eat it by himself. Look at my second aunt and my brother, they killed the wild boar and let our family eat the pig-killing vegetables. What is the difference?
?
Just when Wang Meilan came out of the back room, Zhao Youcai hurried over, handed the lunch box to Wang Meilan, and said: "Lan, there are eggs here, do you want to fry one?"
At this time, Zhao Youcai didn't mention his piece of front meat at all, and just found a way to get off the stairs when he said this. Wang Meilan didn't know what he was thinking, but she said: "Let's not do this, we have more things to eat."
As he spoke, the unique aroma of fried pig lung came out. Although pig lung is not a precious ingredient, when it is fried until dry, it has a unique flavor.
Still dividing it into two plates, Xu Chunyan took out the stir-fried lungs with dried chili peppers and put them on the plate, and quickly scooped out water to brush the pot. Then he heated the pot again, and when the oil was hot, added the shredded pork and pulled it, then added the celery and quickly stir-fried it.
.
At this time, Zhao Youcai and Li Dayong entered the back room and looked at a group of children and an old lady sitting among the children smiling from ear to ear. Zhao Youcai quickly said to the old lady: "Aunt Jiang."
Li Dayong, on the other hand, called the old lady auntie.
The old lady smiled and nodded to Li Dayong, then waved to Zhao Youcai and said with a smile: "Second, come and see how Auntie's braised pork is doing?"
Zhao Youcai is the second person at home. As his elder, the old lady calls him "second" and it is not a curse.
Zhao Youcai stepped forward to take a look, gave the old lady a thumbs up, and said, "It looks good. I'll have to eat two more pieces later."
As soon as Zhao Youcai finished speaking, Yang Yufeng came in with another plate of eggplant and dry-roasted pork belly.
At this time, the table was already covered with braised sauerkraut, braised pork, stir-fried pork with bracken, stir-fried pork with shredded beans, dried roast pork with eggplant, stir-fried lung with dried pepper, and a plate of cubed pork slices, blood sausage, pork belly, and pig heart.
The last four items are eaten with garlic paste.
Immediately afterwards, the shredded pork and stir-fried celery were served. This is the eleven dishes.
At this time, Wang Meilan was heard shouting that dinner was ready in the outer room. Zhao Youcai raised his hand to signal to the old lady, and then walked towards the west room.
There were thirteen women and children, and the east room was larger, so we gave it to them.
As soon as Zhao Youcai came out of the room, he saw Zhao Jun carrying a plate of dried radish to the west room, and Wang Meilan carrying a plate of dried radish to the east room.
This dried radish is made from large carrots and is usually dried in bunches. When eaten, it is blanched and dipped in miso to give it a chewy texture.
It can be said that this is the only dish on the table today that is vegan!
There are a total of twelve dishes, let alone this forest area. How many people in the town at the foot of the mountain can eat like this during the New Year?
Zhao Youcai entered the west room. As soon as he sat down, Lin Xiangshun came back with Li Ruhai.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
At this time, I heard Wang Meilan shouting in the west room: "We are all here. Today we are preparing these twelve dishes at home. It is exactly twelve months in a year. We are all going smoothly this year, and next year
It's the same! We are not outsiders, so we just eat well and we are full!"
Speaking of this, Wang Meilan grabbed her hand forward in the air and said: "Let's start building!"
After saying that, she sat down, picked up a piece of braised pork with her chopsticks and put it into the bowl of the old lady next to her.
Seeing Wang Meilan using her chopsticks, Jin Xiaomei, Zhao Ling, Yang Yufeng and Xu Chunyan greeted the children to eat together. These children can basically eat by themselves, but some dishes are far away from them, so adults need to help pick them up.
These children are not interested in lungs or bellies, but they like to eat the braised pork cooked by the old lady. Seeing this scene, the old lady was even happier.
At her age, the old lady is really not picky about her food. With such a large group of people accompanying her to eat, the old lady is happy to eat braised vegetables, let alone such a table of delicious dishes.
In the west room, Li Baoyu had poured the wine in circles for Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong, Wang Qiang, Zhang Yuanmin, Lin Xiangshun and himself.
"Come!" Zhao Youcai, as the host, raised his glass and said to everyone: "Let's take a sip first."
As soon as Zhao Youcai said this, Li Dayong and the others raised their glasses in response, while Li Ruhai looked at Zhao Jun who was not drinking.
After putting down the wine glasses, everyone started to move their chopsticks. The delicious dishes on this table made people confused about what to eat.
Zhao Youcai ate deliciously, but he didn't know why, but he just didn't feel as happy as he imagined.
After drinking for three rounds, Zhang Yuanmin suddenly said something that made Zhao Youcai prick up his ears.
Zhang Yuanmin said this to Li Baoyu next to him. He only heard him say: "Baoyu, tell me, your brother and I are thinking about training the red dog this afternoon. Unexpectedly, when we catch a pig, we will
