"Yeah! Cucumber!"
"Where did you get it? It's so fresh!"
In the kitchen, when the eldest cousin and Xiao Ni saw the two cucumbers brought back by Chu Heng, they were greatly surprised.
Even the donkey meat and pig head meat in the net bag were ignored by both of them. One of them couldn't help but look at it with a cucumber, and even eagerly wanted to take a bite.
Things are more valuable when they are rare.
If it were another summer, let alone two cucumbers, they wouldn't take a second look at a cart.
But who told it to be winter now?
It's like within a hundred days, you suddenly came across a foot-washing city that was open for business, and the young lady even offered a nice deal...
What does it look like to be so happy!
"Okay, okay, don't look at it, give it to me quickly."
Chu Heng was really afraid that the two sisters would reimburse the two cucumbers, so he quickly grabbed the cucumbers, poured some water and washed them. Then he walked to the chopping board, picked up the scraper, and peeled off the skin of the cucumbers in a few strokes.
"Hey! Don't throw it away!"
Seeing that he was about to throw away the cucumber skin, his eldest cousin rushed up quickly, held down his paws, and lectured: "Brother-in-law, do you know how to live? It's not easy to have two cucumbers in this winter. You Still throwing it away!"
"They are all fresh cucumbers. It would be a pity to throw them away."
Xiao Ni also came up, picked up a piece of cucumber rind, and stuffed one end into her mouth. Immediately, her little mouth squirmed, and the melon rind quickly entered her mouth, like a rabbit.
After eating, she went crazy to her eldest cousin: "It's delicious and fresh. Cousin, you should try it too."
"Prodigal thing!" Duan Fengchun rolled his eyes at Chu Heng, wiped himself and fetched a plate, carefully put the melon rinds on it, and then the two sisters ran to the side and imitated the rabbit, fighting over each other "Kaka" "Click." Swirl violently.
It's like I haven't eaten cucumber in eight hundred years.
"As for that!"
Chu Heng looked away in confusion and continued to play with his cucumber.
Cut two cucumbers into several sections and smash them. Then slice the pig head meat and put it into a basin. Then add salt, sugar, sesame oil, vinegar, monosodium glutamate, minced garlic, and soy sauce. Stir and mix together!
After he finished cutting the donkey meat, he calculated that there were only three dishes. He felt that it was a bit unlucky, so he went to take out the curry from the pot, beat a few eggs, and made an omelette with chopped green onion, making four dishes. come out.
The whole process takes less than fifteen minutes!
After putting the fried eggs on the plate, Chu Heng clapped his hands and turned to look at his eldest cousin and wife who were looking at him like gods. He said speechlessly: "What are you looking at? Hurry up and serve the food."
"Zi Liu!"
The eldest cousin forcefully sucked the half-cut cucumber slice hanging around her mouth into her mouth, walked to the chopping board, picked up donkey meat with one hand, and patted the cucumber with pig head meat with the other. After wiping it, she couldn't help but look back at Chu Heng, and exclaimed: " Brother-in-law, you are so capable!"
Um?
Who leaked the news?
"It's a far cry from Silly Pillar."
Chu Heng smiled reservedly, looking very deep, but actually he was secretly happy in his heart.
He has been studying cooking skills for so long, just to show himself as a saint in front of others!
Not a moment.
The three of them quickly carried the bowls, chopsticks, and food into the main room.
Although the stove and the kang were not turned off, the room was still a little cold, so they did not sit on the Eight Immortals table and went directly to the kang.
Four people sat cross-legged around the kang table, with the heat under their buttocks, and a glass of warm rice wine. With the combined efforts of both the upper and lower body, it was able to warm the heart!
"Come on, let's go."
After sitting down and pouring the wine, as Chu Heng shouted, his grandfather and cousin clinked their glasses with him with smiles, and Ni Yinghong also laughed and joined in the fun with tea.
After all the drinks he had brought were finished, Chu Heng began to talk about his experience in the big city with gesticulations. The others listened happily and asked a few questions from time to time. The atmosphere was warm and relaxed.
It feels like home.
After eating and drinking for a while, my eldest cousin, who had just finished a glass of wine, suddenly slapped his thigh and said with a grimace: "Hey, by the way, brother-in-law, do you know anyone at the train station? Can you help us get some train tickets? It's too late at this time. It’s hard to buy.”
Because many people in the security department like to travel around the world on trains, it is indeed difficult to get train tickets now.
"Buy a ticket?"
Chu Heng, who was chatting with his grandfather, was stunned when he heard this. He put down his chopsticks and looked over, asking, "Are you leaving?"
"Well, Mr. Tang went there two days ago and said that my grandma could be discharged from the hospital. The old lady was so homesick that she almost fell ill. She asked me to buy a ticket at that time. I was so anxious." Duan Fengchun looked smiley. Your way.
"Oh, this is so great! What, in a few days I will set up a table and call all relatives and friends to celebrate the old lady being discharged from the hospital." Chu Heng also felt happy for a while, but when he thought about his grandpa and the others, they were about to leave. When I arrived at Forty-Nine City, I began to feel a little reluctant to leave.
The old man has lived at home for such a long time and has long become a part of the family. Now that he has to leave suddenly, he still feels a little lonely.
But there is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever. After all, my children are all in the Northeast, so they can't stay in Sijiu City all the time.
Fallen leaves must return to their roots.
Even he was like this, so Ni Yinghong was naturally even more reluctant to leave. As soon as she heard that grandpa and others were going back to the Northeast, her eyes instantly turned red. She hurriedly said, "Grandpa, please stay a little longer. It's not easy to come to the Four Nines." Cheng, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
"Your grandma won't do it. She is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. She doesn't want to wait for a moment." Grandpa smiled and took a sip of wine, stretched out his old palm to rub Xiao Ni's head, muddy but wise. There was a hint of homesickness in her eyes, and she sighed: "Actually, it's not just her, but even me. I feel a little homesick. I don't know what's going on at home after not going back for so long."
"What's there to think about?"
The eldest cousin secretly curled her lips. For the family where she could be forced into marriage anytime, anywhere, she felt more fear than longing for the family...
Chu Heng muttered at this time: "Then after dinner is over in a few days, I will make arrangements as soon as possible."
"Okay, it's up to you." Grandpa smiled and nodded.
After the matter was settled, several people continued eating and drinking.
They didn't finish until almost eight o'clock.
After clearing the table and dishes, the eldest cousin hurriedly ran to the east room to watch TV with Xiao Ni.
Today's show is "Red Light Chronicles". The two sisters have watched it no matter how many times, but they are still very excited.
After drinking tea in the main room, my grandfather went to fetch water to wash up. Then he went to the east room and said to his eldest cousin, "Fengchun, I've been getting a little hot from sleeping on the kang lately, so I'm going to live in the west room tonight. You can sleep on the kang."
"I know." The eldest cousin, who was fascinated by watching TV, responded without looking back.
"Go to bed early after reading this."
The grandfather helplessly shook his head at the silly granddaughter, and after whispering a warning, he wiped himself away and went to the main room to pick up the quilt, went to the west room, threw the cousin's bedding on the kang, and then went back to the room to sleep on his own. .
The door was shut tightly by him.
