Chapter 797: Taking the bait all starts with gluttony
Xu Chunyan put the noodle curtain on the wall of Zhao and Li's house, and walked towards the door, saying, "Second aunt killed a sheep today, and called me to bring the children over to eat the mutton."
As soon as he heard that the trouble was not caused by his rumors, Zhao Youcai's heart suddenly calmed down, but he immediately muttered: "This prodigal bitch!"
But the next second, when he heard the sound of a dog chirping not far away, Zhao Youcai's expression changed again. After handing the lunch box to Xu Chunyan, he quickly walked towards Erhei.
All the dogs at home came back, and Li Dayong climbed over the wall to go home to see Dahuang. This old dog had been with his family for many years, and Li Dayong had the deepest affection for it.
Although Li Baoyu also missed Rhubarb, he missed Zhao Jun more, so he entered the house with Lin Xiangshun and Xu Chunyan.
As soon as they entered the house, a wave of heat hit them. Wang Meilan saw that only Li Baoyu and Lin Xiangshun entered the house, and she knew that Zhao Youcai and Li Dayong must have gone away.
In peacetime, Wang Meilan really didn't care about them, but at this time she said to Lin Xiangshun: "Shunzi, hurry up and give it to your second uncle. Uncle Li calls back. There is a visitor at home."
"The real minister is here." Xu Chunyan added from the side. After hearing this, Lin Xiangshun hurriedly went out to call Zhao Youcai and Li Dayong.
Li Baoyu went to the east room to say hello to Xie Sun, and then went to the west room to talk to Zhao Jun and others. Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong, and Lin Xiangshun came back to see Xie Sun, and Wang Meilan started to prepare dinner.
The men went to the west room and the women were in the east room. Looking at the table full of dishes, Zhao Youcai clicked his lips and thought to himself: "This prodigal woman made the brazier yesterday and killed the sheep today."
"Come on, brother." At this time, Li Dayong took the filled wine glass from Zhang Yuanmin, brought it to Zhao Youcai, and said with a smile: "My sister-in-law is really well groomed."
"Yeah." Jie Chen also said, "We haven't eaten so sumptuously in restaurants at home."
There are all acquaintances in this room, no one is polite, they just grab a cup and chopsticks and start eating and drinking.
In the west room, two half-plates of mutton have been put into two pots respectively. The next step is to wait for the pots to boil and the meat to be cooked.
Taking advantage of this time, Zhao Hong, Zhao Na and other children clamored for soda drinks.
If there was no soda, that would be it. But the soda boxes were dragged in, but they were not given to the children to drink. Who could do this for these children?
But there was a reason for Wang Meilan not to let them drink. That was because the soda and beer had just been brought in from outside. Now that they were cold, they had to wait in the room for a while before they could drink them.
Wang Meilan also said that the children should eat the boiled mutton first, and she ensured that all children would have soda to drink today.
Just like that, when the soup in the pot boiled, the mutton and sauerkraut rolled with the boiling water, Wang Meilan and others used their chopsticks to pick up the meat and vegetables.
There were many children at this table, and Wang Meilan and the others had to take care of the children first. Even the old lady took the mutton and put it in Zhao Hong's bowl, and then coaxed Zhao Hong to let the little girl blow it before eating.
Only Xie Sun didn't have such a burden. She put her chopsticks into the pot. When the soup came out of her chopsticks, she found two pieces of mutton and a bunch of pickled cabbage on the top of her chopsticks.
Mr. Xie Sun hurriedly put the mutton and sauerkraut in a bowl, first put some chive flowers on a piece of meat, and then stuffed the meat into his mouth.
The meat that had just come out of the pot was very hot. Mrs. Xie Sun flicked the meat in her mouth with her tongue. As she grinned, the heat radiated from her lips and teeth, and the temperature of the mutton quickly dropped.
As Xie Sunshi chewed the meat, the special mutton aroma of the mutton agitated his taste buds, and the salty and spicy flavor of the farm chive flowers mixed with the aroma of the meat, making Xie Sunshi's appetite instantly satisfied.
Chewing the meat in his mouth, Sun's hands were not slow at all. He picked up the sauerkraut in the bowl with his chopsticks and placed it on another piece of mutton. Then he used the chopsticks to pick up a small piece of fermented bean curd and sauerkraut, and put the mutton into his mouth together.
Women in the Northeast these days are all good at pickling sauerkraut. The Chinese cabbage must be pickled for a month before it can be eaten, but even if it is soaked in the tank for a month, the pickled sauerkraut will still be crispy.
.
Cooked, it's crispy too!
When the sauerkraut mutton enters your mouth, it has two completely different textures: soft and crispy. The mutton's aroma is neutralized by the slight acidity of the sauerkraut, which instantly relieves greasiness.
The flavor of fermented bean curd then burst out. It was a salty aroma with a hint of spiciness. When it first entered the mouth, it melted in the mouth, and the taste was soft and sweet.
Xie Sun was chewing pickled cabbage and mutton, and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously. She was satisfied with these two bites of meat.
There were a lot of people, and the meal had just started. Two and a half plates of mutton and four balls of sauerkraut were quickly gone. Wang Meilan called for the meat, while Yang Yufeng and Xu Chunyan each picked up a half plate of mutton and put it all into the pot.
As soon as the mutton comes into the pot, it instantly suppresses the boiling soup.
Jin Xiaomei and Zhao Ling added pickled cabbage, potato cubes, fungus, and dried tofu into the pot.
At this time, the bowl was empty. Xie Sun raised his hand and put his chopsticks into the pot.
"Sister!" Wang Meilan saw this and said hurriedly: "You have to wait for the pot to boil, right? It's not cooked yet!"
"I know." Mrs. Xie Sun used her chopsticks to pick up the dried tofu sticks, then turned around and put it into her bowl. She smiled at Wang Meilan and said, "Dried tofu is fine, you can eat it raw."
"Ah..." Wang Meilan had nothing to say, but the others, including adults and children, watched Mr. Xie Sun sucking the dried tofu into his mouth.
The old lady smiled faintly, put her chopsticks into the pot, picked up a strip of dry tofu, put it into the bowl, and said to Wang Meilan, "The dry tofu will be soft after blanching."
"Yeah." Wang Meilan knew that the old lady was afraid of embarrassing Mr. Sun, but they thought too much. Ms. Sun didn't even raise her head. She held the chopsticks in her palm and used her thumb and index finger to pick up the garlic clove next to her.
took a bite.
When Xie Sun usually eats at home, she doesn't care who it is. This has become a habit. Even when she goes outside, she doesn't have the consciousness to restrain herself.
"Your village makes good dried tofu." Mrs. Xie Sun suddenly praised, then looked at Wang Meilan and said, "If you have frozen tofu, it would be better to boil it."
"Haha." Wang Meilan smiled when she heard this and said: "Sister, this really doesn't exist. Now it melts as soon as the day comes. Frozen tofu cannot be frozen."

fan.
Wang Meilan had soaked the vermicelli in advance, then dipped her scissors into the water to cut it.
Mrs. Xie Sun picked up a bunch of vermicelli and put it into the pot immediately. She didn't let go of her chopsticks and kept holding the vermicelli and pressing it into the hot soup.
The vermicelli was thin, not much thicker than a hair, and had been soaked in advance, so Xie Sun only rinsed the vermicelli for five seconds before putting it back into his bowl.
I ordered less chive flowers, and then sucked the vermicelli away. After Sun had swallowed the vermicelli, she said to Wang Meilan: "Sister, if you want to eat this stuff in a rinse, you don't need to soak it. Just put it in the pot and slurp it."
"Oh!" When Wang Meilan heard this, she felt enlightened and agreed, "It's not bad!"
While Wang Meilan was talking, she saw two pots rolling away almost at the same time. Seeing this, the old lady hurriedly greeted everyone: "Come on, use your chopsticks!"
Mr. Xie Sun was not polite and just opened his cheeks.
Soon, there was only soup left in the two pots, and the two plates of mutton weighed nearly five kilograms, almost all of which were eaten by Xie Sun and a group of children.
After all, the children were young and had almost finished eating by this time. They all shouted to get down from the table to drink soda. Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei took bottle openers and opened bottles of soda for the children.
When every child started drinking soda, Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei started drinking beer again.
There were not that many cups at home, so Yang Yufeng and Xu Chunyan washed the bowls that the children had just used.
While Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei were opening bottles, and Yang Yufeng and Xu Chunyan were washing the dishes, the old lady and Zhao Ling on the table didn't move their chopsticks.
Therefore, at this time, only Mr. Jie Sun was still eating on this table.
When Yang Yufeng and Xu Chunyan came back, Wang Meilan reached out to take two small bowls and placed one of them next to the understanding sun bowl.
"Sister, let's drink some of this." Wang Meilan said, picked up the beer bottle next to her and started pouring wine for Xie Sun.
And other people actually picked up the wine bottles one after another.
Northeastern women can still drink beer, let alone beer. It’s just that when there is delicious food and drink at home, they can attract children and men, and rarely show it off.
At this time, Mrs. Xie Sun was lowering her head to suck the vermicelli. One end of the vermicelli was in her mouth and the other end was still in the bowl.
At this time, when she heard Wang Meilan talking to herself, Xie Sun couldn't raise her head. She could only raise her eyebrows and look at it, then put her chin on the edge of the bowl a little, and made a "hmm" sound from her nose.
What I didn't expect was that although Wang Meilan had heard of beer, she had never drank it. Not only had she never drank it, but neither had the women who were pouring the beer.
What surprised them was that when the beer was poured, it suddenly foamed. When they had stopped pouring it, the beer foam was still foaming, and soon it reached the edge of the bowl.
All the women were a little panicked. Only Xie Sun moved her mouth to the side, took a sip of beer foam, then raised her head and said to Wang Meilan: "Pour slowly, don't be too anxious."
"Ah! Can't you be too hasty?" Wang Meilan suddenly realized, and smiled at Xie Sun: "Sister, I bought this wine this morning, and I have never drunk it before."
"I have drunk it!" Mr. Xie Sun raised his neck and said proudly: "My family drinks this every year and festival."
"Really?" Although Wang Meilan was asking a question, she actually responded in accordance with Xie Sun's words.
As for Xie Sun, she followed up and said: "Sister, you know both of my boys. As for me, I also have two daughters. After all, you have met my second uncle, right?"
"I've seen it, I've seen it!" Wang Meilan realized that Sun was referring to Sun Haizhu, and said hurriedly: "That time Xiaomei and I went to Lingnan to buy a lot of things at your uncle's supply and marketing cooperative."
"Yes!" Ms. Xie Sun nodded and said, "That's my second uncle. I also have an eldest uncle who is the deputy section chief of the Jiaohe Railway Station and is responsible for freight and other things."
"Ah..." Wang Meilan didn't know why Xie Sun mentioned her uncle. She could only follow Xie Sun's habit of chatting and said, "That's great."
"It's good to be serious." Xie Sun said: "My son, daughter-in-law, girl, and uncle are all filial to me. They bring me home whatever delicious food they have. I have seen everything and eaten everything.
"
"Ah, haha." Wang Meilan smiled lightly and said, "That's really good."
At this moment, the old lady sitting on the other side of Jie Sun suddenly shouted: "The pot is boiling, Jie Chen's mother, let's fish out the meat quickly!"
"Hey!" Mr. Jie Sun immediately turned his head when he heard this, picked up the bowl with his left hand, and reached into the pot with chopsticks in his right hand.
Wang Meilan: "..."
other people:"……"
Several people looked at each other and looked at Xie Sun who was eating with her big mouth. They felt that she looked like someone who had eaten before. Maybe she looked like a beggar or a refugee, but they never ate like this.
Something!
"Come, let's eat meat!" Wang Meilan greeted: "It might become hard after a while."
After two mouthfuls of meat, Wang Meilan picked up the bowl and invited everyone to try the beer. Xie Sun also picked up the bowl and took a big sip.
"This wine is not spicy!" Jin Xiaomei said, and Yang Yufeng said: "Wang Fu didn't say anything today, women can drink it too."
"Then what he said, we can also drink sorghum wine." Zhao Ling followed, followed by Xu Chunyan, saying: "I am happy to drink corn wine. After finishing it, I will sip my lips and make myself feel sweet."
Okay, it’s all so sweet after drinking it.
The old lady did not speak, but listened to these people talking with a smile. She was not good at drinking at her age, so she drank beer just to join in the fun.
The old lady enjoyed the life she was living now, but she didn't want to eat or drink. She felt that someone was thinking about her and that someone cared about her.
At this moment, the old lady suddenly felt that although she had no children, with people like Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan, she did not feel inferior to Jie Sun.
Thinking of this, the old lady turned her head and glanced at Mr. Jie Sun, who was putting meat and sauerkraut into his mouth with his mouth open, and couldn't help but smile.
Suddenly, Xu Chunyan rushed to Xie Sun and said, "Xie Niang, did you just say that your eldest son-in-law stayed at Jiaohe Railway Station?"
"Hmm!" Jie Sun, who was chewing something, nodded.
"What's wrong, Chunyan?" Jin Xiaomei asked, and then Xu Chunyan said: "I heard Shunzi tell me that our forest farm still sends wood to Jiaohe Railway Station every year."
"What are you doing sending it there?" Yang Yufeng asked as she didn't understand.
As the wife of the captain of the motorcade, Xu Chunyan naturally understood better and immediately explained: "It is said that it will be sent there and directly loaded on the train to Shenzhen."
"Where is Shenzhen?" Zhao Ling asked.
"I don't know." Xu Chunyan shook her head and said, "It's the south anyway."
Speaking of this, Xu Chunyan looked at Xie Sun again and said with a smile: "How about my mother Xie said she has seen and eaten everything? The train station is in charge of freight transportation from south to north. What good things are there?"
"That's not what it is." Wang Meilan swallowed the potatoes in her mouth and sighed softly: "My brother-in-law is so good, but we still want to work for him."
"Huh?" As soon as Wang Meilan said this, Mr. Xie Sun immediately bit off the vermicelli on her lips. Before she could swallow it, she asked Wang Meilan vaguely, "His aunt, what do you mean by job?"
"Isn't that right!" Wang Meilan smiled and waved her hand, and said: "Your little minister has taken a liking to the daughter of our mountain farm technician. We thought that if they could really succeed, I would leave the forest farm to find a job, so I couldn't just pick it.
?"
"What?" Mr. Jie Sun's eyes widened when he heard this and said, "What does a mountain field technician do?"
