Chapter 103: Peasant Meal

By the time An Yang came back, the meal had basically been put on the table. Hong Jun, who rolled into the vegetable field with the dog, was also pulled back by Hong Yanwu.

Not to mention, this meal prepared in a hurry, although simple, is quite suitable for everyone's appetite.

Let's talk about the pot of pickled old melons first.

Old melon is a very interesting thing, the thickness is between zucchini and cucumber, white skin and white flesh, thick skin and hard seeds, without any taste, the biggest feature is that it is cheap and easy to store. It is the staple dish of farmers in the suburbs of Beijing in this era.

Bursting pickle is a very common way for people in Beijing to eat.

To put it bluntly, it is to grab a large grain of salt and pickle fresh fruits and vegetables before eating. Wilted, gone water, can't do it, that can only pickle vegetables!

The advantage of this method is that it has a salty taste without compromising the original tenderness of the food, which is "preserved in the original ecology" in today's fashionable parlance.

This pot of old melon is homegrown in Yuntai's field, and it looks very good, mixed with starry red pepper and green garlic, which can arouse people's appetite.

And its attraction is mainly reflected in Hong Yanwu's body.

Because although this thing is thriving at the moment, it can be found everywhere in the countryside. But in the 90s, it gradually became extinct.

Although Hong Yanwu was a child, he almost hurt the old melon, but for him today, it is tantamount to an "old friend" who has been separated for decades, and it is absolutely "our brothers haven't seen each other for a long time".

So when it was time to eat on the table, he just greeted this thing, biting it "clattering", and said that it was crispy and delicious.

not only caused everyone to cover their mouths and laugh at him, but even his own mother felt strange.

"This kid, I didn't see how much I loved to eat when I was a child, why is it that he has become an 'old melon head' now?"

Unlike Hong Yanwu, older people are more proud of An Daniel's thick porridge.

It was boiled in a big wood pot, and the sticks were very thick and chewy. There are also beans in it, and the porridge is red, yellow, red and yellow.

As soon as such porridge is boiled, it can be filled with fragrance in the courtyard. The rich fragrance of grain, smelling it makes people down-to-earth and moved, it represents the true meaning of life.

Hong Lucheng, Wang Yunlin, and Shou Jingfang cheered while drinking. Even Hong Jun liked it very much, and shouted that he had never drunk such a beautiful wood-pot bean porridge.

These words naturally made Da Nier blush, and said with a weak heart that it was really nothing, and everyone's porridge here was boiled like this.

Yuntai smiled at her when she heard this, and said Don't be embarrassed. This is the benefit of the countryside, they really can't drink in the capital, it's not polite to you.

With such a good porridge, it is inevitable that the same good side dishes will complement each other. In this way, Anjia's pickled eggs also came out brilliantly.

Nowadays, people eat more salted duck eggs, but they don't know that eggs are actually better than duck eggs when they are used to make salted eggs. Because although the egg yolk is small, it is far more delicate and tender than the duck egg yolk.

And I have to say that Xiaoqin's mother's methods are very clever.

The eggs she pickled were not only red when they opened, but also oily on top. It's actually a little bit of a soft-hearted egg. It's a unique flavor. Let everyone eat it and praise it.

Hong Yanru couldn't help but sigh, saying that since pickled eggs are so delicious, why do you still buy salted duck eggs?

For this reason, Xiaoqin's mother felt that there was light on her face, so she happily explained to her.

"Girl, can that duck egg be compared with an egg? It smells fishy from nature, if you don't make salted eggs, how can you eat it? In addition, in our village, the eggs in summer are not the same. There is a kind of grass called "crested yellow" on the mountain, and the chicken eats the grass seeds of this grass, and the egg oil under it is red in color, which is different, so that it can be pickled in this taste. We've got a lot of eggs here in the winter. ”

Everyone suddenly realized, Wang Yunlin said, "No wonder I feel that the eggs at home are much more delicious recently, and this is the case." ”

In addition to these pickled eggs, the two bottles of wine that An Yang brought were also very good.

Don't look at it as an earthen pot, the color is a little cloudy, not particularly bright and transparent, and the taste is slightly astringent.

But because it is made of pure grain, it is definitely not the things in the city that are mixed with essence and water to fool people. Not to mention the aroma of the wine, the entrance is also very mellow, and the aftertaste is long, and it is not good to drink too much.

This is what Chen Liquan likes, he takes turns to respect people, and he drinks well.

But maybe it was because of too much wine, people relaxed, and he pouted carelessly.

"I think the countryside is pretty good, the food and drink are better than in the city, and there is such a spacious place, why do people want to run to the city? If you want me, I'm happy to stay here......

This sentence immediately made everyone at the table a little embarrassed. However, Chen Liquan has a generous temperament, and Yuntai knows that it is an unintentional word, but no one cares. They were just afraid that Secretary An would think too much.

As for Secretary An, he is also happy, and he doesn't shy away from it at all, so he laughs and says bluntly.

"I'm glad you say that, young man. But to be honest, in fact, the countryside is still not good, the work is tiring, and there are still few things. It is far more than the food in your city that is supplied by the state, and there are many old and famous shops. You see, that's all there is to eat, you mainly have to taste it fresh to feel good, and if you eat this every day, you will definitely not be able to stand it. Where are your sauced meats and roasted cakes delicious? In our place, oil, water, and fine grains are the real good things. We can't eat such authentic sauce meat even during the Chinese New Year, what is the ...... of hunger?"

Indeed, the sauce meat of the "Tianfu" is famous in the capital. The taste is wonderful, which once prompted the "last emperor" Pu Yi to ride a bicycle to the Xidan "Tianfu" store to buy sauce elbows on the second day of being ****.

If you stuff such meat in a pancake, will it still not taste good?

Not to mention that everyone present loved it, even Hong Jun's little villain ate two of them.

Especially for the locals of Longkou Village, I am afraid that everything on the table is not as attractive as these two things.

Not to mention anything else, just look at the way Secretary An and Xiaoqin's mother fill the meat into their mouths in large chunks and flow oil down their mouths, you know that they are extremely stretched and happy.

And Na'an Sun is even more stingy in eating, not polite at all. The chopsticks seem to have long eyes, and they pick fat and clip them in front of themselves, really eating the bowl and looking at the basin.

To put it bluntly, there is too little talk these days. If the backbone of meat is shortened, it can't reflect the beauty it deserves.

If it weren't for the big pot of sauce meat and the mountain-like sesame pancakes on the table, today's farmhouse table would have lost a lot of color, far less beautiful and lively than it is now.

It's just that although Secretary An's words are an out-and-out reality, Hong Yanwu can pinch and calculate and understand the future. He has a bottom in his heart. So he raised the wine cup and toasted Secretary An, and then asserted.

"Uncle, if you want to look at me, this is the benefit of the city right now. But don't forget, things change. What is not available in the village now may not be in the future. The village is not as good as the city now, but it may not be surpassed in the future. I won't say anything else, wait until next year, I guarantee that the rural policy will be a big change from this year......"

These words were absolutely amazing, and almost everyone looked at Hong Yanwu.

Secretary An was stunned at that time. "Well, what you say is interesting, but I don't even dare to think about it. Will the policy change?"

Hong Yanwen couldn't help but kindly remind. "The third child, these are all your elders, you have to speak with a door, don't drink a few more drinks and run the train with your mouth full......"

Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu didn't care, and he was convincing.

"Second brother, my friend's father is a big official. Also well-informed. You forgot to ask you to review in advance, but it's not nonsense. ”

Secretary An is the secretary of the brigade, and he doesn't care about others, but he really has a strong interest. urged Hong Yanwu to quickly tell him how to change, and said that it was his own family anyway, and he would talk behind closed doors, and it would be nothing if he was wrong.

In this way, Hong Yanwen was not easy to stop again, so he had to let Hong Yanwu talk about it.

"Uncle, in fact, the specific policy has not yet been decided. But the direction must have changed to loose, and you probably went to the original 'three self and one package' and 'four freedoms', and you should ponder it. ”

"Ah, isn't that a regression......? So who brought it up...... No way!"

Not only Secretary An, but also the people on the field were shocked.

Because the aftermath of the "movement" has not yet dissipated, fear is permeated in the bone marrow. This policy was the original reason why the great leader personally launched this "movement", and it is too sensational, as Hong Yanwu said.

Hong Yanwu naturally understood everyone's feelings, and pondered for a while before continuing.

"I know that everyone doesn't believe it, but since last year, can everyone think of the changes that have taken place? None of these are unimaginable. In fact, you might as well listen to my words as a joke now. But I'll put it here, it's not the end of the year, or next year, the problem of educated youth, and the problem of family composition like ours, there will be a policy. When that happens, you'll believe me......"

There was silence for a moment. That's right, even if it sounds quite unrealistic, Hong Yanwu's words still have some truth, which can't help but let everyone here think deeply.

But at this point, Hong Yanwu was still unsatisfied, and he turned his head to Secretary An again.

"Uncle, on the whole, our country has been messed up enough, and the foundation of the country has been hollowed out. Now the great man is presiding over the state in order to get the country back on the right track. We are an agricultural country, with the largest rural population, that is, we are vigorously developing industry, and farmers are also the foundation, because people always have to eat. It is impossible for the state not to reduce the burden on the rural areas and increase the enthusiasm for production. From below, the common people are also poor enough, hungry and afraid, and they are looking forward to a good life. There have been so many policies in the past, which ones worked and which ones didn't, I don't need to say, you know best. That's why I say this......"

Not to mention, under this kind of justified and repeated "brainwashing", Secretary An's attitude is really a little loose.

"His third nephew, I'm not sure what you're talking about, but I'm looking forward to it. Not to mention anything else, it's really going to change, and Zhaoqing's dumping of eggs is nothing. I'm really afraid that someone will trouble him with this, so I'm still thinking about not letting him get it, and I want to find him an errand to play with a pen in the team......"

Unexpectedly, it was actually linked to his own family, Yuntai and Zhaoqing father and son were quite surprised, and they were also happy and worried.

The good thing is that this is obviously Secretary An has to take care of his son-in-law, and Zhaoqing will not have to do manual work in the future. The worry is that the income from selling eggs is large, and if he can't do it, Zhaoqing will be a little difficult to take medicine to treat his illness in the future.

Of course, Hong Yanwu understood the different psychology of everyone, and he first agreed with Secretary An.

"Uncle, in fact, you are still thoughtful. Now that the policy has not changed, it is indeed easy to implement the ......"

But then the conversation changed again, "However, it depends on how to say it, although it is wrong to resell for profit, but if it is to give eggs to relatives, it should not violate the policy, right?"

Secretary An is really not in vain, and he quickly understood.

"His third nephew, you have a good mouth. But no, you are relatives in the capital, so Zhaoqing will not be able to say anything when he enters the city. Otherwise, I'll ...... his errand slowly."

Hong Yanwu was in a very happy mood when he saw Secretary An being so good, so he made a temporary decision, so he continued to discuss in depth.

"Uncle, in fact, you are really distressed about Zhaoqing. I am afraid that he will be tired, and I am afraid that something will happen to him in the city, so I will find him a good errand. So if that's the case, I still have an idea, in the future, Zhaoqing simply don't sell it himself, it's better to let this big brother of the sun do him a favor. In the future, he will replace him and send the eggs collected by Zhaoqing to me. For the rest, just bring the money back, and don't worry about anything else. In this way, Zhaoqing's medicine money has been settled, and Brother Sun can also have a little extra money. Do you think it's ......?"

This is a really good idea, and the absolute fertilizer and water will not fall into the fields of outsiders, and nothing will be delayed.

So at that time, Secretary An nodded, and urged An Yangyang, who was only interested in eating and drinking, to thank him. Yuntai and Zhaoqing were also overjoyed.

But the father and son thought about it, but they felt a little uncomfortable, because this was undoubtedly Hong Yanwu causing himself a lot of trouble. I also took on a share of responsibility.

But Hong Yanwu said that it was okay, saying that there was too much shortage of eggs in the city, and he didn't have to go to the street to buy them himself, and he could just know people to wrap up the round

Of course, Wang Yunlin felt sorry for her brother's family, and seeing that Hong Yanwu said so, she knew that he was sure, so she also agreed after pondering it.

"Brother, you're welcome. Where are there any relatives who don't look at their relatives, turn around and let outsiders laugh at them, just do what the third child says......"

Unexpectedly, these words made Secretary An ambiguous again, and he rushed to make a statement.

"His aunt, we are sons and daughters, but we are real relatives. The child is going to give birth, you are called grandparents here, and we are called grandparents over there. We're not outsiders, we're really not outsiders......"

Wang Yunlin and Yuntai glanced at each other and couldn't help but smile.

Yuntai hurriedly explained, "Brother Guangsheng, I didn't say anything about you, I was too careful." Look, let's just discuss the marriage of our children. Let's see what a good day we should do? You and Xiaoqin's mother have to talk about our opinions first......"

This naturally made Zhaoqing and Xiaoqin embarrassed.

But Secretary An and Xiaoqin's mother smiled at the same time.

"That's a good dare, we know the roots, and we are all dealers, so we don't pay attention to anything. As soon as possible, it's good to have a lively ......."

In the room resounded with laughter, and on this summer afternoon, everything seemed so beautiful and harmonious.

The intellectuals outside tirelessly sang praises. The little gourds on the pergolas were swaying gently in the wind, as if they were all going to join in the joyous procession of the house.

The yellow dog also quietly jumped into the house at some point, arched Hongjun's legs vigorously with his mouth, and shook his tail happily.

Of course, Hong Jun knows everything about what is going on in its heart. He took a piece of fat in his hand and brought it under the table.

Soon, the yellow dog arched his hand under the table, quietly ate the "reward", and licked his hand so wet that he laughed......

That's life, that's the days.
