At the entrance of the courtyard, Ni Zhen was riding on the door panel with a look of horror on his face. Two black and white dogs were jumping and jumping below with their teeth bared, almost biting his feet.
Chu Heng came out to take a look and quickly shouted to Gouzi: "Come back!"
"Woo~"
Ergou glanced at Ni Zhen who was so frightened that he almost peed, and ran to Chu Heng wagging his tail, sitting in a row and sticking out his tongue, asking for credit and reward.
"You really know how to eat!"
Chu Heng wordlessly took out a small strip of beef jerky from the warehouse, broke it into pieces and divided it between the two. He quickly walked to the door, picked up his brother-in-law who couldn't climb up the door and put him on the ground, and kicked him gently.
He glared and said: "Next time you come in, remember to knock on the door. Fortunately, you kid climbed up the door panel, otherwise I could bite you to death!"
"I forgot about it in a hurry."
Ni Zhen looked at the two dogs with glaring eyes with fear on his face, and his calves were trembling, probably leaving a psychological shadow.
"Is there a thief?"
"What's wrong?"
"Where is the thief?"
"Copying guy!"
At this time, more than a dozen neighbors came running over carrying kitchen knives and shovels. They were all attracted by the barking of dogs and cries for help, thinking that there was a thief in the alley.
Because the Chu Heng family’s dogs generally don’t bark randomly, and when they bark, it’s likely that a stranger has arrived, and they’re coming in without warning.
Isn't this a thief?
"It's okay, it's okay, it's my brother-in-law." Chu Heng hurriedly stepped forward to finish, smiled and sent out a cigarette, and everyone dispersed.
If it was summer, they would definitely chat for a while, but in this cold winter, no one wanted to stay longer. Since there was no excitement to see, it was better to go home and sleep.
"Let's go." After seeing off the enthusiastic crowd, Chu Heng took his brother-in-law, who was so frightened that his legs were weak, into the main room, then went to the east room and said to his wife who was still watching TV: "Ni Yinghong, stop watching.
You are really here."
"Come just come."
Ni Yinghong didn't even turn around, patted the stool next to her, and said to her little brother who was still in shock: "Come, sit here and watch TV."
"well."
Ni Zhen was also a little TV fan. When he saw the show, he was no longer afraid. He went over and sat next to his sister, and the two of them stared at the TV together.
"Tsk, you are indeed two sisters." Chu Heng shook his head speechlessly, took out a cigarette and lit one, and asked Ni Zhen: "What are you doing here so late?"
"Ah? Ah!" Ni Zhen, who was fascinated by the situation, reflected for a while and then said: "Let me tell you, grandpa is not coming back today and is in the hospital."
Chu Heng stood at the door, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and also watched the TV. Hearing this, he said casually: "I'll ask you to run over to catch up on this matter in the evening. Just make a phone call."
"It costs only three cents to make a phone call, and only one cent to run errands. My mother is very smart." Ni Zhen curled his lips, still staring at the TV.
"Oh, it's indeed a good deal." Chu Heng smiled and nodded.
In fact, not only Ni's mother, most women of this era are basically very frugal. They all came from hard times and know the pain of not having money and food.
Xiao Ni was originally a diligent and thrifty man, but after being influenced by Chu Heng, he has changed into his shape. He is no longer reluctant to part with anything as before, and he spends what he needs to spend.
Chu Heng didn't stay in the east room for long. Seeing that his brother-in-law was watching TV enthusiastically, he chatted with him for a few words and then stopped disturbing him. He went back to the main hall to read.
At almost nine o'clock, the TV program ended, and the two sisters' frantic sighs could be heard in the room.
"Oops! Why is it gone?"
"How annoying!"
"Squeak."
Not long after, the two sisters opened the door and came out. Ni Zhen ran to Chu Heng with a hopeful look on his face and asked, "Brother-in-law, can I stay here today?"
He had always heard from his eldest cousin how arrogant the breakfast at his brother-in-law's house was. Today was a rare opportunity, so he had to stay and have a meal.
"What's your kid's plan?" Sister Mo Ruo, her best friend, Xiao Ni saw the boy's eyes rolling around and knew he hadn't held it in well, so he reached out and grabbed his ears.
"Tell me! Did you get into trouble and dare not go back?"
"Oh, let go, sister, it hurts, I didn't, I didn't cause trouble." Ni Zhen grinned in pain.
"Okay, okay, Ni Zhen can live here if he wants, and let go." Chu Heng put down the book with a smile, stopped his wife's violence, and then asked his brother-in-law: "You can live on the kang today.
Aren’t you afraid of being alone?”
Ni Zhen suddenly smiled brightly, rubbing his ears and said: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
"Okay, I'll get you a quilt." Chu Heng got up and went to the ground, tidying up the kang.
Little Ni went to the west room and took out grandpa's quilt.
After getting the bedding ready, Chu Heng straightened up and looked at Ni Zhen, who was tinkering with the radio, and asked, "Are you hungry? Brother-in-law, can I cook you some noodles?"
"Ah?" Ni Zhen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, rubbed his dry belly, and smiled shyly: "That's okay... that's okay."
In fact, he asked too many questions.
How many people can have enough to eat these days?
Ni Zhen was only a boy and a half. When he was growing up, he got hungry faster. The few steamed buns he ate at night were already digested.
"Okay, Ni Yinghong, you take him to wash his face, and I'll cook the noodles." Chu Heng warned his wife, turned around and went to the kitchen without asking Ni Yinghong if he wanted to eat.
If you really have to ask, that's really nonsense...
In the middle of the night, braised noodles and fried noodles with soybean paste are too heavy. After eating, I must drink water in the middle of the night, and I have to pee afterward. A bowl of simple hot noodles is just right.
After coming to the kitchen, Chu Heng first found three large bowls, cut some chopped green onions and spread them on the bottom of each bowl. Then he burned some pepper oil and poured it on while it was hot. Suddenly, a strong aroma of green onions filled the whole room.
kitchen.
Then, add balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, salt, and MSG into the bowl.
The base ingredients are all together.
"Hoola!"
Chu Heng ignited the gas tank to boil water again.
While the water was still not boiling, he took out a half-cut ham from the warehouse, took out a long knife and cut off a few thin slices, put it on the cutting board for later use, and then took out six large hams.
The shrimps are each about a palm long. After washing and removing the shrimp threads, when the water is boiling, they are thrown into the pot together with the noodles and cooked.
By the way, this grandson also cracked three eggs into it...
After six or seven minutes, the noodles are cooked.
Chu Heng took chopsticks and put them into three bowls. Xiao Ni had the largest portion, and Ni Zhen had the smallest portion.
After loading the noodles, he poured soup into each bowl. Instantly, the sauce at the bottom of the bowl floated up. The color of the soup became oily and bright red, with a few green onions floating in it. Just by looking at it, it was obvious.
appetite.
Then, Ya put the prawns, eggs, and ham slices on top.
Three bowls of unpretentious noodle soup and you're done.
"good!"
Chu Heng looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction. After thinking for a while, he picked up a bowl and took a sip of the soup. The soup with balsamic vinegar had a sour aroma that greeted the throat and moistened the ileum. One sip greatly increased the appetite.
.
He smacked his lips, stared at the noodle bowl again, and muttered: "It tastes pretty good, but the ingredients are a bit off."
As he said this, he began to rummage through the warehouse again, and soon took out a large piece of donkey meat, a persimmon, and a cucumber.
Cut the donkey meat into cubes, slice the persimmons, shred the cucumbers, and put them all into a bowl.
In an instant, the color and nutrition of the three bowls of noodles were upgraded several levels!
