Mei Zi picked up the jar carelessly, but she didn't use much force. Her wrist was hanging loosely, and the enamel jar was also tilted. She made Xiao Hua so nervous that he stared straight at the enamel jar without blinking, and held his hands underneath, for fear that the plums would accidentally pour out the ice cubes inside. At the same time, his mouth was not idle, "Hey, hey, Meizi, be careful, hurry up, hold on tight!"
"What the hell is this? Are you so precious?" Meizi saw that he didn't look like he was joking, so of course she had to ask clearly.
"The soup in the braised mutton pot comes from Uncle Dong's house..." Xiao Hua said this sentence so naturally that he didn't notice anything was wrong.
"Leftover soup?" The smile on Meizi's face gradually disappeared, she squinted her eyes, and the corners of her mouth tended to droop downward. She is not happy!
"You can't say that, you should know after staying in the hotel for so long, the essence is all in the soup!" Xiao Hua realized what it was called, but it was not too late to explain at this time, so he hurriedly Said: "I risked all my skin to bring you this enamel vat of mutton soup... I'm not bragging, this soup tastes amazing. I have never tasted anything better than this in my life." Yes, if you don’t believe me, try heating it up.”
Try, of course you have to try.
Just listening to Xiao Hua's words, Mei Zi's saliva began to flow out. She turned around and walked out of the corridor. All the pots, pans, pots, pans, and stoves at home were placed outside.
"Here, you clean up the potatoes and radishes given by Uncle Dong's family and throw them into the mutton soup later -" At this point, Xiao Hua clicked his lips unconsciously, and in an instant, his face was full of With a flattering smile, he continued: "Get more. After riding all this way, I have consumed too much, and I am a little hungry again."
Mei Zi completely believed it this time, but she still couldn't imagine how delicious Uncle Dong's braised mutton pot was. Look, it made Xiao Hua greedy for the first time in twenty years!
She didn't need Xiao Hua to prompt her, she just took it easy and peeled out five large yellow potatoes in just a few minutes. She also picked three carrots and scraped the skin, and then cut a section of white radish. At this time, the ice cubes placed in the hot pot have begun to melt, and the aroma has turned from light to thick, wafting away amidst the gurgling sound. Even though it was diluted with hot water, the taste was still fresh and attractive, which made Mei Zi, who was cutting the hob, almost cut his own hand.
"Ahhhh, where does the fragrance come from?!"
"Hey, it's Lao Xiao's family."
"Oh my god, how can it smell like this? What kind of delicious food does your family cook?"
"Meizi, Meizi, where did you get the soup base? Is there a new chef in your restaurant?"
"What, new chef? Then I have to try it!"
After a knock on the door, everyone on the entire floor was attracted by the smell that was flying around. They surrounded Mei Zi, who was throwing potato cubes and radish cubes into the pot, three floors inside and three floors outside, holding the lid of the pot. Xiao Hua was squeezed into the corner. They swallowed hard and did not forget to ask questions.
"No, no, there is no new chef, and this pot is not a specially prepared soup base." Meizi regretted it in her heart. Why didn't she think of it? She should have cooked it in the house, with the doors and windows closed, so that the smell would not be bad. Floating so fast. But now that it’s like this, there’s no point regretting it. What needs to be said is: “Our old man Xiao brought this from his relatives. There was a lot of soup left in the braised mutton pot they had for lunch. Isn’t this what he said?” Thinking that I hadn't eaten it, I brought a jar back and asked me to stew some potatoes and radishes with this soup."
As soon as she said these words, sighs sounded one after another. If it's not prepared by the restaurant chef and is not sold outside, then they won't be able to eat it. It would be strange if they don't sigh.
"Mom, I really want to eat it!"
"Hey, it's the smell of mutton. I like to eat mutton the most!"
"The smell of potatoes is coming out, grandma, can you smell it?"
"Ah, my stomach is growling. Dad, can you buy it with Aunt Meizi with the money?"
"I have a pastry ticket here. Can Aunt Meizi exchange it with me? I just want half a bowl...or give me two sips of soup and ask me to try two pieces of potatoes, okay?"
"I, I want to change too, I have toffee!"
"Can I change it? I have cookies!"
The little ones were racking their brains in order to eat. They squeezed to the front one by one, vying to exchange plums for mutton soup and potato cubes, as well as their favorite pastries, toffees and biscuits. The time has come and gone, and I can exchange it for two or three potatoes without blinking an eye. In fact, they were afraid that Meizi would not be happy and would forcefully force the sale.
Being stared at longingly by a group of short and chubby little Doudings, Meizi really couldn't say no. She gritted her teeth and said, "No need to change. As for you, just line up obediently. Each person will take a small piece. No more." But there is none.”
Meizi's heart was bleeding, she hadn't even tasted it yet.
The little guys all wrinkled up their little faces. A small piece is not enough to eat! However, they were open-minded and thought it was better than nothing, so they all queued up happily.
The parents stretched their necks and looked into the pot, estimated the number of potato cubes and radish cubes, and then counted how many children were waiting in line. After doing this calculation, their hearts went cold. It was over, and they ate. Not here. There is no way, they can't take food from the children's mouths.
The little chubby guy at the front always ate a lot of meat, but this time, he took three bites of such a small piece of potato. Every time he bit off a small piece, he closed his eyes and looked like he was enjoying it. It looked like he was dead, but the next second, he pursed his lips again, and then muttered, "Woo, woo, it's almost gone, it's almost gone..."
After eating, he didn't forget to lick the two fingers that had picked up the food. He was reluctant to leave. He looked up at Meizi pitifully with his little fleshy face, hoping to get some special care. "Sister Meizi, the most beautiful sister, just give me another piece. This small piece is fine. The piece just now was too small." La!"
The little chubby boy's father looked on and was almost starving to death. Seeing that he was still not satisfied with the food, he slapped him in the face and dragged him away.
The child at the end of the queue learned a lesson from Little Fatty. At the first bite, he nibbled a little bit, pursed his lips, and felt as if the soft and sweet carrots had melted. , smacked his mouth again, it still tasted of mutton and potatoes, he was so beautiful.
However, at this time, a big head came over and swallowed more than half of the remaining carrots with a slurp. No one else did it but his father, well, his own father.
Wow, wow, wow... The heartbreaking cry instantly resounded in the corridor. The child cried so miserably. While crying, he complained, "I only tasted a little bit, you compensate me, you compensate me!" Ouch, I want to find my father, I want to find my milk, I want to find my mother, I want to file a complaint, I, I am not done with you!"
The baby's father was quite confident, "Why are you complaining? I've raised you so much. You shouldn't be filial to your father and me. I just ate a bite of your carrot and this is it, pick!"
Mei Zi was really dumbfounded, but she couldn't just watch a family war break out, so she quickly took another piece to give to the kid, and then she comforted him. Not to mention the regrets felt by other parents, if they had known earlier that they could do this... It's nothing to take food from their children's mouths, they have raised their children so big in vain.
Pa, pa, pa, is the sound of a crazy slap in the face.
After sending the neighbors away, Mei Zi couldn't care less because she was tired. She asked Xiao Hua to quickly carry the stove and pot into the house and close the doors and windows tightly. The soup base was still there, so she cooked another pot.
After struggling for an hour, she finally tasted the taste of braised mutton soup. Apart from being delicious and delicious, she didn't know what words to use to describe it.
Burp~ delicious, so delicious!
The next day, as soon as Tan Yuan walked out of the guest house with his luggage, Xiao Hua and Mei Zi greeted him. The two of them specially asked for leave to see him off. Of course, the real purpose is hard to say.
"Old Tan, come on, come on, let me help you carry your luggage." Xiao Huake became enthusiastic and snatched away the quilt roll Tan Yuan was holding in his right hand. "I really don't trust you to go there alone. This No, I specifically asked for leave today to see you off, and I have to see you settled there before I feel relieved."
"Yes, yes." Meizi nodded frequently and agreed.
"What's there to worry about? It's not like I don't know the road. Didn't we fight back and forth yesterday... Okay, let's go back to work. Don't delay your work." Tan Yuan really didn't notice that the fight between the two of them was small. Abacus, he was so moved that his eyes were wet, and he couldn't help but shed tears.
"It's not that I'm worried, we just can't bear to leave you! Okay, don't be polite to us. Think about it, we have been friends for many years. It's nothing to ask for a day off for you. I can't wait to spend the winter with you. I’ll stay at my uncle’s place for ten days and a half.” Come on, the last sentence was exposed.
Tan Yuan felt that the emotion he just felt was like feeding a dog, bah bah bah!
"Haha, don't. Just because we are old friends, I can't bear to ask you two to take leave for such a trivial matter!" Tan Yuan snatched the quilt back when Xiao Hua wasn't paying attention. He said : "Don't worry, I can live a good life at Uncle Dong's place. Didn't my dear baby tell me to make delicious food for me every day? Oh, I'm a little worried. If I have to eat for a month, I will have to gain weight. .”
Xiao Hua wanted to hit someone after hearing this.
But in the blink of an eye, Xiao Hua wanted to get back to Tan Yuan. He snatched the quilt into his hand again, and then said: "How can we do it? It's not good to gain weight too quickly. It's easy for the body to have problems. No, I have to go." Please tell my dear baby to make less food for you."
Pooh!
Why didn’t I know to be so shameless before!
Tan Yuan was furious.
Xiao Hua and Mei Zi sent Tan Yuan to Qu Zhongdong's house. Of course, they did get some food, but the more they ate, the more they wanted to cry. They could only taste such a delicious meal once in a while, could they? So sad.
According to the discussion between Qu Zhongdong and the three brothers, Tan Yuan was placed in the old house, and Qu Zhongdong provided three meals a day. As for the mushroom sheds, one will be built in the old house and one in the yard of Qu Zhongdong's family. Qu Zhongqiu's family will not get involved in this matter.
Plastic sheeting is indispensable for building a mushroom shed. For this reason, Qu Changjiang and Qu Changhu followed Tan Yuan to the county seat several times before finally pulling back two cars. After that, the Qu family got busy, and the strong laborers had to pull earth and build walls. Yue Cuiyun took his daughter-in-law to weave straw curtains, and the house was in full swing.
Just because they were busy, they didn't pay much attention to what was happening around them. It was Captain Shicheng who came to apologize with a sad face. Only then did Qu Zhongdong's family realize that two copies of the borrowed textbooks were missing. One was mathematics for the second year of high school and one was Chinese for the first year of high school. They were all lost in Cui Fuxing's hands.
"Oh, it's my fault for talking about this!" Captain Shicheng felt extremely uncomfortable. Originally, it was not easy for Uncle Dong's family to move a set of textbooks, and it was also for the children in the production team who did not have textbooks. As a result, this The matter was ruined by him.
He had nothing to hide, so he told the whole story, "Didn't we make a rule before? Borrow them one by one in the order they were registered. As a result, the second-year high school mathematics was lost within two days of Cui Fuxing's place. He came to visit and asked... He was begging and kowtowing, saying that he didn't do it on purpose. At that time, I really thought he was pitiful, so I didn't bother him much. I lent him other books as usual. As a result, the day before yesterday, he failed to speak Chinese in the first grade of high school. Already..."
"This time I said I would lose money, but what's the point of asking for money? I've been going to the county town every day, and I've looked at all the bookstores, big and small. No, it's a critical time, and I can't buy these two books at all! "When he said this, Captain Shicheng's eyes were red.
