In fact, the taste is not so good, the condiments are not complete, how good can it be? It's just that this kind of taste is very long for Xiao Mu.

After roasting a large pot of meat, Xiao Mu was also full of food and drink, and Zhang Laohan's family began to prepare dinner.

The day of the pig killing is the most abundant meal in the 365 days of the year, and it is also the meal with the freshest ingredients.

Almost every household will make a dozen dishes, although they will not eat all of them, but it doesn't matter, it will not be wasted, all the leftovers will be poured together, let them ferment and then boil over a warm fire, another delicacy.

In the kitchen of less than 10 square meters, there are three stoves, one for soup, one for steaming rice, and one for stir-frying.

Wan Rong and Lao Fu are busy in the kitchen, but all they burn are firewood, and the air permeability is poor, so they make a miasma, and the old man's physical condition is not very good, and he can stop coughing a few times from time to time.

Uncle Tao was afraid that the old man would not be able to stand it, so he said to the old man: "Auntie, I'll come, you can rest, or wash the vegetables outside." ”

Uncle Tao is already a frequent visitor to the house, so the old man did not refuse.

Seeing that Xiao Mu was fine, the old man said, "Let's go, Xiao Mu, wash the vegetables with grandma." ”

Xiao Mu wanted to refuse, but seeing that the adults were busy, he dispelled this idea and honestly followed the old man to wash the dishes.

Looking at his injured left index finger, Xiao Mu didn't dare to touch the water, for fear that the wound would be infected, so he raised his index finger and carefully washed and picked up the vegetables in the basin.

Looking at Xiao Mu, who was timid, the old man couldn't help but say: "Look at it, this is the consequence of being careless, and you don't listen to you when you say that you are usually more careful." ”

Then he asked Xiao Mu: "Do you know why I asked you to wash the vegetables with me?"

Xiao Mu didn't know why, thinking that it was just because the old man couldn't be busy alone, but the truth was not as he thought.

The old man said: "I called you to wash the vegetables with me because I was afraid that you would be scolded, you always like to follow your uncle, if you go to the kitchen to make trouble or something, your uncle should scold you later, usually be more diligent, don't be too lazy." ”

Xiao Mu thought about it carefully, it was really like that, but it was a little too much to say how diligent and fast he was, and he didn't know what to do, at most he would sweep the floor and take a bath, and he really didn't know what to do.

Even the minimum washing of vegetables is taught by Lao Fu, although Xiao Mu also washed it before, and it is barely reasonable, but Wan Rong doesn't seem to buy it, always saying that he washes it uncleanly, and the cabbage is not drawn, etc., in short, it is picky in every way.

The rice was also cooked once or twice, but it was not cooked again, and a few times it was boiled thin, and the result was also scolded by Wan Rong, so Xiao Mu never did these things again.

About two hours passed, the dishes were washed, Wan Rong and Uncle Tao's meals were almost ready, and Zhang Laohan also led the nine buffaloes that remained to work and returned home.

Wan Rong, who was sweating profusely, pulled a worn-out towel and wiped his sweat, "Hey, it's so hot, it's not easy this year, I'm tired." ”

Uncle Tao catered and said, "Yes, it's more tiring than work during the New Year." ”

Zhang Laohan put down the bag woven in his pocket, hung it on the wall, and sat down, as soon as the old man sat down, Wan Rong looked at Zhang Laohan and said, "Have you bought wine, and what about drinks?"

Zhang Laohan, who has been busy all day, has no time to buy wine, he can't be busy, "Not yet, don't you just come back, where can I buy it." ”

Wan Rong didn't say anything, hung the broken towel in his hand around his neck, and hurried out of the room.

"Come, Xiao Mu, you go to Guo Yang's house to get ten catties of self-roasted fire wine, and then buy two bottles of drinks or something, and then buy 5 packs of cigarettes, and cigarettes buy Xiaochun City. ”

Turning his head and saying to Zhang Laohan: "Also, the people you called can also be called, and you can start eating with two more dishes, if you don't call, the food will be cold when they come." ”

But playful Xiao Mu bargained with Wan Rong, "I won't go, unless you give me 5 cents for running errands, I won't go." ”

This is a big New Year, and he only scolded Xiao Mu in the morning, so Wan Rong didn't say much.

He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go ahead, go, isn't it just 5 cents, I'll give it to you." ”

Zhang Laohan didn't rest much, and left home with Xiao Mu, for fear that Xiao Mu would buy the wrong thing, Zhang Laohan also accompanied Xiao Mu to Guo Yang's house to buy something.

Xiao Mu saw that Guo Yang's family had a new snack, and there was a glass bead in it, which was 2 cents a bag, and Xiao Mu bought two bags with 5 cents of errand fees.

After buying things, Zhang Lao told Xiao Mu to take the good things and the rest of the money, walk carefully, don't break the things, and then go to the village to invite guests to dinner.

When he got the snacks, Xiao Mu was overjoyed, rushed home, and handed the things and surplus money to Wan Rong.

I couldn't wait to take out the snacks I just bought from my pocket and said to the old man: "Look at grandma, I bought snacks, I'll share them with you, and there is a glass bead here." ”

Hurriedly tore open the snacks, there were 5 jujubes inside, each divided one of them, two for the old man, kept two for himself, and finally took out the crystal clear glass beads and said: "Grandma, look, this glass bead is good-looking, this snack is too cost-effective to buy, and there are glass beads." ”

Before the old man could respond to Xiao Mu, Wan Rong beside him said: "It's a good deal, jujube is a dime, your glass beads are a dime, you still think it's a good deal." ”

Xiao Mu grimaced mischievously, "I think it's a good deal, not only delicious, but also fun." ”

A glass bead that is so simple that it can't make Xiao Mu happy for a long time, this is a very precious toy for him, not just a simple glass bead.

Between the words, guests walked in one after another, all carrying gifts in their hands.

The old man hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, took the gift and said: "If you come, you will come, what kind of gift will you take, really, isn't it just a meal, as for this." ”

The old man greeted the guests, Wan Rong prepared the tables, chairs and meals, Xiao Mu assisted Wan Rong, and Uncle Tao went to fry the rest of the dishes.

Not long after, the hot meal was served, and Zhang Laohan also took his brother-in-law's family home.

"Xiao Mu, have you eaten barbecue today?"

Xiao Mu thought it was anyone, turned his head and saw that it was his uncle, jumped over excitedly, hugged his uncle's leg, looked up and said, "I ate it, it's fragrant." ”

Then he pointed to the barbecue on the table and said, "Look, that is, I roasted it with Uncle Tao, I don't believe you ask Uncle Tao." ”

"Okay, Uncle will taste your roast later. ”

looked at Xiao Mu who was jumping around, causing everyone to laugh, I don't know who said: "Look at it, it's good that you have raised Xiao Mu so big, I hope he will always be so happy." ”

In an instant, the birds fell silent, and each took their seats and began the most sumptuous dinner of the year - Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
