Chapter 42: Yanagishita Hui dies

October 18, 2000 is Megumi Yanagishita's birthday.

Different people have different ways to celebrate birthdays.

Some people like to be high-profile, and they call friends to get together every year on their birthdays, which is as lively as people's wedding scenes.

Especially in later generations, it has been a routine operation for many people to live in those hi fields or KTV cabins.

Not to mention, Yanagishita Megumi's wife in her previous life, before she was with him, she would go to KTV every year on her birthday to open a largest box, and then invite friends to come over to play.

As a result, friends bring friends, and friends bring friends.

A birthday party with only more than 10 people is invited will often develop into a birthday party attended by nearly 100 people.

Megumi Yanashita and his wife are two extremes, he has always been low-key on his birthday, basically eating a meal with his family, even if he has passed his birthday.

At most, it's just a little more hearty than usual!

It is no exaggeration to say that in his previous life, it was not until 2007 that Megumi Yanagishita lived in Jingjiang, and his friend bought him the first birthday cake in his life!

It's really incredible for people of their generation to have a birthday cake after their twenty-third birthday.

And in the past ten years, Megumi Yanagishita has not held a high-profile birthday party.

My wife is affected by him, and her life is gradually not as high-profile as before, basically a big meal + cake + red envelope can be done!

Of course, then again, it's also because there is no money, and if you have money, Megumi Yanagishita actually doesn't lack romantic cells.

On this year's birthday, Megumi Yanagishita has no intention of making a big deal.

However, with so many relatives and friends here, it is also necessary to make a hearty lunch for life.

Originally, according to the customs of Yanagishita Hui's hometown, few people died at noon, and they usually died at night.

However, now the spicy chicken pot opens for business at 5 p.m. in advance, and with the preliminary preparations, everyone has to be busy before 4 o'clock.

There are also two stalls of white-cut chicken, and people will have to come out in the afternoon.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Yanagishita Megumi still thinks that it is more appropriate to spend life at noon, and everyone is free at this time, so they can get together and have a good meal.

As for my sister and Sister Lan, according to the regulations, they can't go out after school at noon, but there are exceptions to everything, and the parents come forward in person, so it's definitely no problem.

......

At noon, at the rental house, today's seafood banquet was made, and Megumi Yanagishita cooked it herself.

Seafood has different values at different times.

In her previous life, she remembered that in her previous life, she had read on the news that in 1945, the poor families in Zhonghai could only eat "hairy crabs" every day because they were too poor to afford rice and noodles.

At that time, the seafood was worthless!

Not to mention 1945, when Yanagishita Megumi's parents were young, seafood was not worth much.

In later generations, sandworms were sold for hundreds or thousands of pounds, and at that time, some people actually used them to exchange sweet potatoes for eating, and I was afraid that no one would dare to believe it.

However, it is now the year 2000, and although seafood is not as expensive as in later generations, it is already the most high-end ingredient, and the price is not affordable for ordinary families.

Like cousins, cousins, cousins, and Guan Chunzhi, none of them have eaten a meal of seafood seriously.

At most, they have eaten squid when they go to drink the wedding wine, and some of the more elaborate wedding banquets are accompanied by prawns and sandworm soup, and they have basically never eaten other seafood.

Liu Yuansheng's family is different, Liu Yuansheng is not only the most famous gambler in the village, but also the most willing to eat in the village. When Yanagishita Megumi was young, there was basically no shortage of sandworms, dried shrimp, and crab meat at home.

Among them, sandworms are mainly used to cook soup, and the most common thing my mother makes is sandworm winter melon soup.

It is to first burst the fragrance of the sandworms with oil on low heat, then add water and cook for ten or eight minutes, and then add winter melon to cook out of the pot.

You don't need to add any seasoning to the whole pot of soup, you just need to add an appropriate amount of salt.

Although the soup made in this way is simple, the unique sweet taste of sandworms will definitely make you want to drink it again after drinking it!

And dried shrimp, my mother often uses it to cook porridge.

It's funny to say, when I was a child, Yanagishita Hui was a picky eater, and she always scoffed at the sweet and delicious shrimp porridge, and every time my mother cooked this porridge, he deliberately went to exchange it for white porridge with my stingy aunt to drink, which made my mother angry.

Finally, there is crab meat, which this old mother is used to make Hakushu stir-fry.

Baizhou stir-fry is the most famous local specialty dish in Baizhou County, also known as bamboo shoot line and meat line.

I won't go into detail here, but in short, the Hakushu stir-fry with crab meat is really not an ordinary delicacy, and this is also one of Megumi Yanagishita's favorite dishes.

Compared with these three kinds of seafood that are often eaten, the other seafood Yanagishita Huijia eats relatively little, and it is estimated that they will not be eaten ten times a year.

Even so, the countryside in this era is already unique. Except for Liu Yuansheng, a foodie, no family in the village is willing to eat like this.

......

At half past twelve o'clock in the afternoon, under the command of Megumi Yanagishita, everyone began to help serve the food.

Steamed flower crab, steamed prawns, steamed mud worms, steamed raw consumption, steamed scallops with garlic vermicelli, stir-fried flower nails, stir-fried squid, mudworm sauerkraut soup, sandworm winter melon soup......

Accompanied by a few cold dishes and green vegetables, a large table was set up, which opened the eyes of relatives and friends.

The table is put together with two tables, after all, there are a lot of people eating today, Liu Xiahui's family of four, two cousins, two cousins, three cousins, plus Helan Lan and Guan Chunzhi.

There are thirteen people in total, and they will definitely not be able to sit down without sharing a table.

After everyone sat down, Liu Yuansheng looked at his son and said, "Xiaohui, today is your birthday, can you say a few words?"

Yanagishita Hui waved his hand and said, "It's all your own people, you don't need to engage in this form, everyone hurry up, the seafood must be eaten while it's hot, it's not delicious when it's cold!"

Liu Yuansheng smiled when he heard this: "Xiaohui is right, then you're welcome, hurry up and eat it while it's hot!"

"Well, cousin Xiaohui, I wish you a happy birthday!"

"Xiaohui, I wish you a happy birthday!"

"Happy birthday, Lao Liu!"

All relatives and friends immediately picked up their wine glasses and simply said a birthday wish!

They are all rural people, they don't pay so much attention to it, what birthday gifts or something, that doesn't exist.

Yanagishita Megumi thanked him, took the lead and took a scallop and ate it!

Relatives and friends, who had been salivating for a long time, were no longer polite at this time, and they shot at those delicacies that they had never tasted when they were so old.

And then...... No one spoke anymore!

Even the Yanagishita Megumi family, who have not eaten less seafood, feel that the taste is excellent, not to mention relatives and friends who eat it for the first time, these first-class seafood instantly conquered their taste buds.

At this moment, there was only one thought left in their hearts, it turned out that there was such delicious food in this world!
