Chapter 0313 Visiting Relatives and Friends (Part 2)
After lunch, a group of people chatted until dark, and were released after their second uncle pinned them down on the table and ate breakfast.
Zhou Yan's father and mother sent his aunt and his family home and then went home. After Zhou Yan saw off his aunt and his family, his uncle stayed behind.
The next day, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, all the relatives gathered at Zhou Yan's house.
Grandma and grandpa, who had not been to Zhou Yan's house for several years, were shocked by the changes in the village as soon as they entered the village.
"Stone, the last time your grandpa and I came to your home was when your grandpa passed away. At that time, there were still stone houses in front of your village. Sixteen or seventeen years later, the village has completely changed. If it weren't for someone to lead the way,
, I really can’t find the door..."
When they arrived at the door, their father and mother were already waiting there. After the whole family arrived, Zhou Yan's father led a group of people around the family's pig farm and then showed off the new house.
After the visit, my grandfather smiled and patted Zhou Yan's father on the shoulder: "Shitou's father has really made money in the past two years!"
After entering the house, Zhou Yan's father very coquettishly took out the tea that Zhou Yan brought back during the Chinese New Year. Even the tea sets were replaced with wood kilns that Zhou Yan burned himself.
"Xiao Qin brought this, he said it was Mingqian from Hangzhou..."
Zhou Yan's father Chi Guoguo's show off finally attracted his second uncle's "counterattack": "Third brother-in-law, you don't usually drink tea, why do you collect so many good tea leaves?"
As he spoke, the second uncle picked up the sky-blue teacup, blew it carefully, took a sip, and then his eyes lit up: "This tea is good! Not bad!"
"Not bad, right?" Father Zhou Yan was a little proud, "I'll get you a pack later!"
Second uncle Feng Weiguo knew that this was good tea, so he was not polite and accepted it with a happy smile: "Then I'd rather be respectful than obey!"
Zhou Yan just took a sip of water and grabbed a strawberry. As soon as it reached his mouth, the old man assigned a task: "Stone, the little piglet has been thawed, you go and bake it first!"
The ingredients are already in place, and the tool dad has already prepared a special barbecue grill for suckling pig welded with 304 stainless steel.
For this barbecue pit, Mrs. Zhou Yan left her father alone: "Just eat it once in a while. You have also prepared special tools, so you are not afraid of being laughed at by the villagers..."
Years ago, my father wanted to try out the barbecue grill, but unfortunately Miss Qin was worried about growing fat on her belly during the winter vacation, so she ruthlessly resisted the temptation of delicious food.
Now that the important guest at home has arrived, roast suckling pig is naturally back on the agenda.
After entering the kitchen, Zhou Yan first mixed the crispy water, then found the barbecue grill from the warehouse that had been completed for nearly three months. After setting it up, he went back to deal with the piglets...
Zhou Yan was just starting to work here when his son, Uncle Wang, brought his cousins over to join in the fun.
Both are chefs, and my uncle is as curious about eating as Zhou Yan. Seeing Zhou Yan carefully handling the piglets, my uncle smiled and leaned over: "Why don't you recommend Lao Qin to this dish?"
"This thing?" Zhou Yan curled his lips, "Inspection and quarantine are a big problem. Even if the food inspection and quarantine passes, those competitors who are looking for trouble can also say that your pig died of illness. Don't normal people just treat their little pigs like this?
Do you want to eat the piglets when they are grown?"
"That's right..." Li Yulin nodded with emotion, and stretched out his hand to pull back Li Xinxin, who was reaching towards the piglet, "You can't eat this, it's raw..."
Zhou Yan looked at Li Xinxin, then at his two cousins who were watching the excitement, and smiled mysteriously: "Uncle, we have strawberries planted in the greenhouse in the backyard..."
"Xiaoling, your brother will be left to you!"
Li Yulin handed Li Xinxin over to Li Jinling very bachelorly, and then turned around and concentrated on communicating with Zhou Yan how to make roast suckling pig...
While the two were chatting animatedly, Li Xinxin entered the Grand View Garden from the greenhouse in the backyard.
Young Master Li, who has been trapped at home, has never seen so many strange "trees".
The second young master has seen vegetables, but he has never seen "native" vegetables. Looking at the tomatoes that were already red on the plant, he went up to them, held them and gnawed them...
"Oh, my mother..." The little girl who was following behind was so happy when she saw her son eating, "You can pick it off and eat it again!"
As she said that, Xiao Jinzi looked back at Li Yuzhu who was following behind her: "Second sister, you didn't spray pesticides on the tomatoes, did you?"
"No!"
After the tomatoes were robbed, the second young master immediately gave up and went after the cucumbers hanging on the branches...
However, all the cucumbers at the bottom had been picked. The second young master looked at the "mace" hanging high on the branch and stamped his feet anxiously: "Mom, cucumber!"
Zhou Yan's little sister was very helpless. She stepped forward and picked the oldest one. She washed it at the faucet nearby and dried it before handing it to her son...
The second young master caught the cucumber and took a big bite, which made the aunts who followed behind laugh.
Mrs. Zhou Yan was also a little worried about her eldest nephew: "The strawberry is behind..."
The strawberries that were picked just a few years ago are growing again, like leeks, with red tips that look very attractive.
Moreover, the strawberry plants are much shorter than tomatoes, and the second young master can reach them with his hand...
Therefore, the second young master was like a monkey in the peach orchard. After picking the strawberries, he nibbled on the red tips, which made Zhou Yan's little girl very angry: "How could my ancestors be so wasteful...
"
After saying that, he walked forward, picked up his son from the waist, and slapped his butt...
"Brothers and sisters, the children can eat as long as they want. Anyway, I planned to coax the children. We only have a few children in our family, so we raised them with them in mind..."
By the time the Half the Sky harvesting team returned triumphantly with baskets of red strawberries, Zhou Yan's roast suckling pig was almost ready.
However, for Zhou Yan, this is just the beginning, there are more than a dozen hard dishes waiting for him.
However, before Zhou Yan started cooking, his grandma sent his uncle to the kitchen to help...
After the first two hard dishes of braised pork ribs and fried chicken, Zhou Yan’s father very coquettishly dug out the special Maotai that Zhou Yan had hidden for more than two years: “This was back when Shitou opened a restaurant in Xinhai.
A gift from a guest!”
By the time Zhou Yan finished cooking and was pulled to the table by his grandma, only the last cup of the two bottles of Moutai was left...
At gatherings of relatives and friends, there are always endless topics to talk about. The family chats until dark, and there is still a feeling of unfinished business, and they always want to keep all the guests and talk by candlelight.
Zhou Yan’s father and mother also felt the same way, and also said that there are many rooms in the house, but it’s a pity that everyone is still waiting for the next party...
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, a group of people gathered again at my aunt's house. Since my aunt's cooking skills were only able to scramble eggs, the cooking task fell on Zhou Yan and my uncle.
The New Year's goods purchased by my aunt and uncle were quite complete, but it was a pity that with their cooking skills, they "a bit of a waste." These were my uncle's exact words.
Before leaving, my aunt also wanted to invite someone to stay at her house, but she was laughed at by the crowd.
"Fourth Brother, with your skills, you can't even cook a cooked meal. How can you still let people stay here?!"
The aunt who was hit hard gritted her teeth and said fiercely: "I will definitely practice my cooking skills and strive to catch up with my sisters in cooking!"
However, Zhou Yan has listened to his aunt's cooking vows for more than 20 years. He knows that before Zhou Yan came back, his aunt's cooking skills were still the same as that of a bad guy: it's good enough to cook it well, but don't expect it to be delicious, delicious...
