338. The Power of Turmeric
Yang Shubao smiled: "Aunt Xiaoyan, why can't you even recognize me? ”
The woman stood up and said, "You see that you haven't come home for the past two years, I really don't recognize it at a glance, especially since there is such a beautiful big girl standing next to you, this is your daughter-in-law?"
"Yes, my daughter-in-law, I brought it over to show you today, Big Eyes is not at home?" Yang Shubao handed her a pack of freshly filled sausages, and she couldn't come to the door empty-handed for the New Year.
Xiaoyan was still busy frying pine nuts, he squeezed the little eye on the left and smiled: "Xiaobao, what day did you come back? I heard yesterday that our old Yang Tun has a martial champion named Yang Shubao, I think Yang Shubao is not just you? Are they talking about you?"
Yang Shubao said: "Definitely not, I don't practice martial arts, I study literature." ”
The woman hung the sausages directly in the yard, and she went to fetch the mazar for the two to sit on, and said, "Wait a minute, this pot of pine nuts will come out soon, and I will be busy first." ”
Yang Shubao sat down, and the black dog came over and lay down at his feet.
Seeing this scene, Big and Small Eyes smiled and said, "My black leopard is not very good-tempered, how can this be related to you?
"You didn't scream, or would it scare me?" said the woman.
The black dog not only didn't bark, but after Lao Yang tickled it, it turned over directly and exposed its belly to sell to him.
Changbai Mountain pine nuts have always been a famous product in the dried fruit industry, the gourmand Cai Lan even called it the king of dried fruits, and the pine nuts produced in Jixiang County are even more famous, and they were sent to the capital as a tribute during the Qing Dynasty.
Pine nuts are delicious but not easy to peel, and the pine nuts in Jixiang County are especially difficult to peel, because it is now popular in other places to boil the pine nuts and then air dry them to cause cracks, and then fry them in a pot.
The pine nuts in Jixiang County are fried with yellow sand, so that they can't be cracked, otherwise the pine nuts will be stained with sand and affect the taste.
The local pine nuts used to be eaten with a small hammer, but now they use a shell opener to clamp the pine nuts.
A pot of pine nuts is fried, and the big and small eyes sift off the sand and bring a plate.
Pine nuts are very expensive, people want to sell them, Yang Shubao quickly said that enough is enough, just come and taste it.
Xiaoyan habitually squeezed his eyes and said: "Is enough enough, what is enough? Where is this? I will go to your house tonight for dinner, this pot is fried for your family, just when you come, I will bring it later, I don't have to go early." ”
There are very few pine trees in South Africa, and even fewer pine nuts, and Nicole is also eating such a dried fruit for the first time.
Yang Shubao's skillful operation clamp clamped open the pine nuts and handed them to her, so that she could concentrate on eating.
Nicole smiled sweetly after eating two: "It's so fragrant." ”
"It's all grease, can it not be fragrant?"
Yang Shubao asked while holding pine nuts, "Big Eyes hasn't come back yet?"
"It's a good year," Xiaoyan pouted, "he has to go to his pole to deliver New Year's goods before he can come back." By the way, when are you going to get married?"
Yang Shubao ate a pine nut, which was warm and soft, and his mouth was full of fragrance: "It should be next year, right? There is no plan yet, anyway, step by step, get engaged first." ”
Big Eyes said: "It's time to get married, you see that you are delayed in going to school, and Big Eyes is ready to have a second baby." ”
"Big eyes want a second baby?"
"Well, one is too lonely, and now that the policy has been liberalized, I want another one to accompany the boss. ”
Eating pine nuts and basking in the sun, with a lazy black dog at his feet, and an elder in front of him who has known him for many years, Yang Shubao feels that the afternoon in his hometown is much more comfortable than in the big city.
The big-eyed daughter-in-law then sat down with Maza and chatted, she stared at Nicole and chatted, talking from head to toe, and made Nicole chat.
By the time they came home with a bag of pine nuts, the sheep had been cleaned up, and a sheepskin was left to hang on the wall.
The men who were busy sitting in the sun were smoking, and his uncle took a pack of loose tobacco leaves for them to roll: "Try the tobacco leaves planted by my brother-in-law, roast them myself, this taste is very strong." ”
Yang Shubao's cousin Daguang rolled a cannon and stuffed it into his mouth, and the tears that coughed down flowed out: "Hey, Mom, is there sulfur stuffed in this smoke?" ”
His uncle handed the tobacco leaves to Yang Shubao and asked, "You want to taste them too?"
Yang Shubao waved his hand: "I don't smoke, the country is now banning smoking." ”
"No smoking, no, hehe," his uncle laughed, "Now the country is building aircraft carriers, do you know? Where did the money for aircraft carriers come from?"
"Yes, smoking is not for yourself, it is for the country!"
"We old farmers don't pay taxes now, so we rely on smoking to contribute to the country, so if anyone doesn't let me contribute to the country, I'm anxious with him. ”
A group of people said it with a lot of words.
Yang Shubao couldn't listen to it and went into the kitchen to help.
Lao Huang sat at the kitchen door very upright, and nodded after seeing him.
The kitchen is in full swing, a big pot is stewing sheep bones and sheep's head, this is to make mutton soup, today's temperature is low, drinking mutton soup is the most exciting.
Zheng Qihong said: "I won't make garlic and white meat tonight, eat hand-grabbed mutton, all these mutton will be put into the pot, and then a table will be a plate, with garlic paste and chili oil, which is powerful." ”
"I'm afraid one plate is not enough. ”
"Isn't there a sauerkraut stewed pig?" said Yang Shubao's aunt, "Ah, eat all mutton?
In the afternoon, the weather was sunny, but in the evening it was cloudy again, and when it was dark, snowflakes fell again.
Seeing this group of old men, they were energetic: "Hurry up and greet the wine, eat pig-killing dishes on a snowy day, and bring energy!"
"Okay, okay, we're ready to eat. Zheng Qihong came out with a large pot of pig-killing vegetables and shouted.
Hulala, a group of people drilled into the hotel lobby.
Since childhood, the restaurant has closed its doors and ceased business, so that it is time to concentrate on entertaining its own people.
This time the snow was not a small snowflake in the morning, and the snow became heavier and heavier, and in less than half an hour, it began to fall heavily.
Nicole stood under the doorlight and caught the snowflakes with her hands, and before long a layer of snow appeared on her hands and body.
Yang Shubao swept the top of her head and said, "What are you doing? ”
Nicole stomped her feet angrily: "I deliberately wanted to take a photo in the snow, you give it back to me!"
Isn't that easy?
Uncle Yang took a shovel and slapped it directly on Nicole's back in the snowdrift in the corner of the yard.
Zheng Qihong was carrying a kitchen knife to cut him, but Yang Shubao was aggrieved: "It's Nicole who wants this." ”
First up is the platter, hand-grabbed mutton, sauce meat, blood sausage, pork liver, lamb liver, pig heart, sheep heart, and bowls of garlic and chili oil.
"It smells so good. ”
As soon as the steaming dishes entered the door, the people in the room laughed.
Yang Zhengnian went to the lobby to bring wine, and Yang Shubao's uncle brought home-brewed grain wine, which was soaked in ginseng, deer antler velvet and wolfberry, and they drank this tonight.
Yang Shubao grabbed his father and said, "Dad, don't drink it." ”
Yang Zhengnian smiled: "Don't worry, son, there is nothing to do today, what do you think is this?"
Looking at the long bag he took out in his hand, Yang Shubao wondered: "What?"
"The power of turmeric of the little devil, the sobering medicine, the old domineering! I went to buy it today, you look at Grandpa Nicole, he will definitely fall tonight!"
