"It smells so good~" Niu Xiaodi smelled the smell coming from the kitchen. He couldn't sit still anymore and couldn't read the book anymore. He simply closed the page, opened the door and entered the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Niu Caohua and Xiao Cuier kept wiping sweat, but still couldn't bear to leave the stove.
In the stove, a solid body wrapped in earth exudes a strange fragrance, and the fragrant cowgrass flowers are reluctant to leave.
Even Niu Xiaobai, who was already full and ready to go back to sleep, squatted in front of the stove and twitched his nose.
Originally planning to go home and cook a roasted bird, but on the way home, Niu Caohua saw the lotus leaves in the pond and couldn't help but think of the beggar's chicken.
For a bird that tastes so good, it must taste even better as a beggar bird!
Sure enough, the aroma from the big clods of soil in the stove made them salivate.
When Niu Dadu came home from work, he could smell the fragrance coming from far away from home, and his sore and swollen legs instantly felt better.
"It smells so good~" Niu Dadu couldn't help but say as he walked to the door.
Putting the hoe in his hand on the ground, he went straight into the kitchen without caring about anything else.
Good guy, everyone in the family, including Niu Xiaobai, was squatting in front of the stove, staring at the contents and drooling.
"Dad, you're back. Let's eat beggar and bird tonight. Go and wash your face. It'll be fine soon." Niu Caohua saw Niu Pottu standing at the door of the kitchen and hurriedly greeted him.
"Oh." Niu Dadu nodded, and took another deep breath of the fragrance in the kitchen. His tears narrowed into slits, and then he went to the yard to wash himself.
By the time he cleaned himself up, Cow Grass Flower had already taken out the big clod of soil from the stove. The clod was burned and there were many cracks. There were still a few sparks stuck to it, and it fell out of the stove with it.
Niu Xiaodi on the side quickly stretched out his foot to crush the sparks.
There are dry firewood next to the stove, and the weather is hot. If you accidentally drop sparks into the firewood pile, it will be bad.
Niu Xiaodi carefully stamped out all the sparks that fell to the ground, and suddenly realized something: "Sister, what is a beggar?"
Wasn't that what he had eaten before, beggar's chicken?
How to eat beggar today?
"There are birds here. You ate them last time, did you forget?"
Niu Xiaodi had been reading in his room, so he didn't know what he was eating today. He came out only after smelling the fragrance.
"Is this the bird from last time? No wonder it's so fragrant!" Yes, ordinary chickens don't taste so fragrant.
When the cow grass flower breaks open the mud and peels away the layers of lotus leaves inside, revealing a whole bird inside, the fragrance reaches its peak!
Not only the Niu Dadu family, but also most people in Niujia Village smelled this overbearing fragrance.
The children next door were crying.
"Whose family? The food is so good, it makes me hungry."
"Suck it! It smells better than meat."
"I'm afraid this direction didn't come from Niu Dadu's family. His family's life is really getting better and better."
"I'm going to smell it. Get me a steamed bun quickly. I used to be able to eat two more bites just by smelling it."
"Let's go, let's go together."
When the chicken is opened, the contents of the chicken's belly are also exposed.
There are mushrooms, beans, greens, all mixed together.
They absorb the flavor of the chicken broth and taste great.
While everyone was feasting on their food without raising their heads, Cow Grass Flower noticed several people lying on the wall in front of their house, muttering something in a low voice.
Hearing them say they came here because of the fragrance, Niu Caohua frowned secretly.
How does the fragrance of flowers and birds spread so far?
Looks like I will eat it secretly next time.
What if everyone in the village smells this smell and comes to ask for help? It is impossible to give, but it will be very annoying.
Not to mention that it is impossible to come to ask for help, there are always some gangsters in the village.
"Eat quickly, there are several villagers coming outside." Niu Caohua looked at the half-eaten bird and whispered.
"!!!" Upon hearing this, Niu Dadu and Niu Xiaodi were startled and hurriedly speeded up their eating. Even Niu Xiaobai, who was already full, grabbed a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
Just when they had just finished killing the whole bird, there was no surprise, there was a knock on the door, accompanied by the shrill cry of a child.
"I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat!"
Niu Dadu looked at the bones on the table and the half-baked buns he had eaten, and walked over and opened the door.
An old woman with gray hair stood outside the door, and at her feet was a little boy with pigtails.
At this moment, the little boy was sitting on the ground, kicking his feet, crying with snot and tears on his face.
The old woman is Grandma Bai, and at her feet is her youngest grandson, who she has grown up holding in her hands and doting on.
His son Niu Qianshan and his daughter-in-law were doing some small business in the county town, and they came back once a week. They were quite busy, so they left the child with Grandma Bai to take care of her. They gave her whatever she wanted, and she became the domineering person she is now.
When I smelled the fragrance, I came right over.
"Big belly, what do you eat at home? It's so delicious. My treasure is so greedy that he cries and makes noises. As an elder, you can give some to your children to try." Grandma Bai said, stretching her head to look inside. , seeing the cow belly blocking the door, he stretched out his hand to push it.
The few people sniffing the smell by the wall also hid a little tighter, looking at the shameless Granny Bai with envy.
They also wanted to come to ask for some food, but they were not thick-skinned enough, so they had to hide here and smell the fragrance.
Well, smelling it makes the steamed buns taste better.
"It's finished." The cow belly stood there like a door god, but Bai didn't push it away for a long time.
"Who are you lying to? It's just dark today and you've finished eating. Don't think I don't know that your family only cooks after dark." Grandma Bai got angry when she saw that the cow belly lied to herself that she was finished. Come everywhere.
This big cow has also become dishonest!
"Grandma, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat!" When five-year-old Niu Jiabao heard that he had finished eating, he cried even harder and started rolling on the ground. After a while, all the ashes at the door were rubbed onto his clothes.
"I'm really done eating." The beef belly was still blocking the door.
"Grandma Bai, we've really finished our meal. I'm not going to lie to you, look at this pile of bones." Niu Xiaodi came over carrying the bones.
The shreds of meat on the bones were gnawed clean, and the small bones and flesh were chewed directly.
There is still a fragrance on the bones.
