A few children used local materials to dig a hole and a long tunnel to prevent fire. They must dig this when burning a fire on the mountain. They have been taught by adults since they were young.
Soon the smell of meat wafted up. Tang Niannian sniffed and said with conscience, the smell was very appetizing.
"It smells so good. It's nine pounds. Can I have a bite?"
One little boy was so greedy that tears flowed from the corner of his mouth. The other children were similar. They stared at the roasted field mice on the fire and couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
But they all promised Baisui and Fubao, and they couldn't break their promises.
"Just ask Fubao and Baisui, they will agree."
Jiu Jin is the only one who is not greedy. Her family eats meat every day and she has become immune to it.
Fu Bao blinked his eyes, looking very innocent, which made several children feel guilty, so he hurriedly said: "We won't eat, let Fu Bao and Bai Sui eat."
They are good children who keep their word and must do what they promise. This is what the second sister said.
The second sister also said that she didn't like bad boys who didn't keep their word.
They also want to eat milk candies and biscuits. After a full meal, they will definitely choose the latter.
You can't give up a lot of toffee and biscuits in the future just for a little vole meat.
Nine pounds of roasted field mouse meat was fragrant. She also thoughtfully removed the internal organs and fur so that Bai Sui and Fu Bao could eat it easily.
"Three Fu Bao, three centenarians, half for each person, eat quickly!"
The nine kilograms of voles were divided fairly and fairly, and several children squatted down to watch Baisui and Fubao eat the meat.
Fu Bao and Bai Sui both had big mouths. They took half a bite and finished eating the meat in a short while. Fu Bao licked his mouth, still not satisfied. He just felt that his previous life was too bitter.
How can raw meat be as fragrant as cooked meat?
Moreover, the Wolf King always said that humans are very bad and should be kept away from humans. His parents also said the same thing. Fu Bao is two years old this year. He has been taught since he was a child to stay away from humans and be loyal to the Wolf King.
But after his parents died, the wolf king was kicked out of the pack by the most beloved female wolf.
Fu Bao knew what was going on. His mother used to be the most beautiful in the wolf pack, but that bitch female wolf was jealous of her mother. Huh, damn bitch!
Now she has a beautiful master, a hundred-year-old brother, a spiritual spring to drink from every day, and delicious meat to eat. Her life is much better than under the Wolf King.
Fu Bao especially wanted to meet the wolves once and let them see his good life. His current fur is much prettier than that of the wolf king.
After Bai Sui and Fu Bao finished eating the meat, Tang Niannian came down.
"Second sister, I pulled a lot of bamboo shoots and gave them all to you!"
"Second sister, I picked a lot of thorn moss and gave it to you to eat!"
"Second sister, I picked a lot of grandpa and give them to you!"
"Second sister, I picked orange pears (wild kiwi fruits) and gave them to you!"
"Second sister, do you want to eat Suanjinjin?"
When the children saw Tang Niannian, they were like the wild monkeys in Huaguo Mountain. When they saw the Monkey King, they swarmed up to him and took out their harvest to pay tribute.
They were all wild fruits and vegetables from the mountains, and they filled Tang Niannian's basket at once.
"good!"
Tang Niannian refused to refuse anyone who came, and they all tasted what she liked, especially grandpa, who hadn't eaten in a long time.
The little girl who picked Grandpa was very careful and tied them up with grass stems. They were like red agate, sour and sweet, much more delicious than the strawberries in the greenhouse.
In local dialect, it’s called Grandpa Gong. I don’t know what its scientific name is.
A bit like raspberries, a childhood favorite
"Give!"
While Tang Niannian was eating grandpa, she took out a large pack of biscuits from her backpack. They were bulk biscuits that she weighed in the store. They were long and rectangular pieces with small holes on them and sugar on them. Each piece weighed 21 pounds. She weighed a lot.
This biscuit tastes very good, with a milky flavor, and Tang Niannian also likes to eat it.
Such biscuits are usually packed in bulk
"Five dollars per person!"
Tang Niannian gave five yuan to each child. After taking so many things, he had to give more.
"Second sister, you are so kind!"
"Second sister, you are better than my own sister!"
"Second sister, can you be my mother?"
The children couldn't close their mouths, and what they said became more and more irrelevant.
Tang Niannian gently tapped the head of the child she wanted to be her mother, and said angrily: "I can't give birth to a son as big as you, nine pounds, let's go home for dinner!"
"oh!"
Tang Jiujin carried a basket full of pigweed and a bundle of firewood. He ran very fast on his short legs and followed Tang Niannian down the mountain.
Bai Sui and Fu Bao were on the left and right, like the most loyal bodyguards.
On the way, Tang Niannian also took a sour root and chewed it. One bite made her face wrinkled with sourness, but she stubbornly refused to spit it out and insisted on finishing one stick.
She didn't eat the thorn moss and was too lazy to peel it, so she went back and asked Jiujin to peel it for her, and she only needed to pay 50 cents.
Suanjinjin, I don’t know the scientific name
Spiny moss, I don’t know its scientific name, it was a snack from my childhood
Mrs. Tang looked around at the entrance of the courtyard and saw her two granddaughters from a distance. She shouted at the top of her lungs: "It's time to eat!"
If she doesn't come back, she will go to the mountains to find someone.
"Milk, give it to you!"
Tang Niannian took a grandpa and stuffed it into Mrs. Tang's mouth.
"Eat less, it's almost time to eat, and you won't be able to eat anymore for a while!"
Mrs. Tang frowned and went to the kitchen cursing.
There is only one last bowl of green vegetables left, wait until everyone is here before frying, otherwise it won’t taste good if it gets cold.
Today's lunch at the Tang family was particularly sumptuous, including a large bowl of Qianzhang braised pork, steamed snails, steamed potatoes, steamed edamame, fried vegetables, scrambled eggs with leeks, and seaweed egg soup.
The meat was fresh pork brought back by Tang Niannian. It weighed about ten kilograms. Mrs. Tang boldly cooked half of it and put the remaining half in the well to be chilled for two days before eating.
Since going to work in the sock factory, Mrs. Tang has become more and more generous in her food. In the past, she would have had to eat ten pounds of meat for at least half a year.
During the meal, Mrs. Tang announced the news that cadres from the capital were coming to stay.
"A cadre from the capital is coming to live in our house? We need to clean it up!" Xu Jinfeng was flattered and a little proud.
Mrs. Tang nodded and ordered: "After dinner, clean up the two rooms in the west wing and take out the straw to dry in the sun. It will make you feel comfortable!"
They are also padded with straw, which is changed every year, and they have to be exposed to the sun frequently, which is quite comfortable.
Tang Niannian frowned. She didn't like outsiders living at home, or two men. It was annoying to death.
"Breast, can't push anymore?"
"Your third uncle has agreed and said that he will be given a one-five-yuan and one-pound food stamp subsidy a day. Just ignore them and don't eat at the same table with us. Have a separate table."
Mrs. Tang knew what was wrong with her and hurriedly comforted her.
"Who is famous in Tangcun? There are actually historical monuments?"
Tang Niannian was very suspicious. She had lived in Tangcun for seventeen years and had never heard of any big shots.
He has never even been a ninth-grade sesame official. How can he have a monument?
Her great-great-great-grandfather, although he had a lot of money, had nothing to do with history. He was just a businessman.
"Who knows, ordinary people don't know what officials think. Anyway, they pay, so don't let it go in vain!"
Mrs. Tang doesn’t care about historical monuments at all, she only cares about subsidies.
Tang Niannian didn't bother to think about it anymore, so she picked up a piece of Qian Zhang Jie and ate it. She cooked it over a low fire all morning. The meat flavor penetrated into Qian Zhang Jie. It was more delicious than meat, and the rice with soup was also delicious. She could eat four bowls.
"Milk, let's do this tomorrow!"
Tang Niannian didn't eat enough, and there was still half of the meat left.
"Eating meat every meal will make you live more comfortably than the emperor!"
Mrs. Tang glared and didn't agree. She would definitely eat it every other day. Even the emperor's family didn't have such good food.
Tang Niannian didn't say any more. If she didn't want to breastfeed, she would do it herself.
For the sake of delicious food, she is still willing to do it.
After lunch, Tang Niannian went to take a nap. In a daze, she was woken up by Mrs. Tang's loud voice.
"Not even two dollars. If I want to know that this old man with glasses is the father of a female gangster, I will never agree!"
