"Wife, I understand, if 'Xiao Jin' doesn't agree, it will be 'chirping'. Ye Rongrong said with a smile to Liu Jingqing, who was stunned.

"Huh?"

Liu Jingqing looked at his man stupidly, what is this, this ant cooperates too well with his man.

"How much is this?"

Seeing Liu Jingqing looking at him with a smile, Ye Rongrong took out two fingers and shook them in front of Liu Jingqing and asked.

"Husband, you're so annoying!" Liu Jingqing said nonchalantly.

"Hehe, okay, wife, this 'Xiaojin' will follow you in the future, you have to take care of it. Ye Rongrong said with a smile.

"Well, I'll let it stay inside the collar of my clothes in the future. ”

Liu Jingqing nodded and said. With such a strong ant, I must be optimistic, but I don't dare to let it run around. As for letting it stay in her hair, Liu Jingqing is still a little unacceptable, so it's better to let it stay on her clothes.

"You can do it yourself. For the evening, I will invite the old village chief and the fifth grandfather to drink, and when you go to the store to buy a few bottles of Jian Nanchun, I will prepare the dishes. Ye Rongrong said.

"Do you want to thank the old village chief and the fifth grandfather, they have helped us guard the yard during the day or at night in the past two days. ”

Liu Jingqing nodded and said. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and this is true in the countryside, but you must thank others, otherwise they will not be so enthusiastic about helping you next time.

……

In the afternoon, Ye Rongrong drove an electric tricycle to the vegetable market in the town, and the township vegetable market in the countryside is generally open in the morning and rests in the afternoon.

However, not all the stalls are closed, and the storefronts of those houses built next to the vegetable market are open during the day.

Ye Rongrong went to these people who had stores to buy vegetables. After buying some spices and food ingredients needed to make hot pot, Ye Rongrong drove home on an electric tricycle.

Because it was afternoon, and I couldn't buy any fresh dishes, all Ye Rongrong felt that it was a very good thing to make a hot pot to eat at night, in such a cold winter, it was a hot pot.

Hot pot is a traditional way of eating in China. Originated from the folk, the history is long, the Shang and Zhou dynasties have appeared to use water (soup) to conduct heat, cook (shabu) food. This cooking method can be said to be the earliest prototype of hot pot.

……

Less than five o'clock in the afternoon, the sky outside was a little darker, and the old village chief Ye Xianghai came to Ye Rongrong's house.

"Village chief, you're here, smoking. ”

Ye Rongrong took out two Huaxia cigarettes and handed them to the old village chief and said.

"Not bad. Good smoke. ”

Ye Xianghai took a cigarette from Ye Rongrong's hand and said with a smile.

In the rural areas of southern China, it is important to smoke or toast.

The rules for this smoke are that when you first take the cigarette, don't take the cigarette directly out of the cigarette shell, shake the cigarette shell with your hand, completely pop out the cigarette shell with the filter of the cigarette, and pop out two cigarettes with your fingers. It's best to keep your fingers out of contact with the filter.

After all, people nowadays pay more attention to personal hygiene, and others have touched the cigarette of the filter. Some people who are very particular will not like it.

As for giving people cigarettes, they don't give them cigarettes one by one, but they take out two cigarettes at a time, hand them to the guests, and then take them after giving out one cigarette to make up two. Make sure you give someone a cigarette with two cigarettes in your hand.

In fact, the reason for this is also very simple, handing two cigarettes to others means that you are making cigarettes, and after giving someone a cigarette, you still have one. It is enough to let others understand that cigarettes are enough, and when giving people cigarettes, it is taboo to smoke not enough, which will make those who have not been allocated cigarettes feel that they are not respected.

Don't look at this as just a small detail, sometimes, it's such a small detail, the easiest to give a mouthful, in a place where there are a lot of idlers in the countryside, it is easy to have someone who is ignorant.

Many young people today don't understand the meaning behind these rules, they are all learning the same, in fact, this is wrong, they don't know the meaning behind the rules, just learning from the same, it will never be good.

Soon, the fifth grandfather Ye Xianglai, as well as Ye Xiangkai and Ye Rongfa all came over, and Ye Rongrong also gave them cigarettes, this is the rule of the countryside, when others come to your house to play, you don't need to give them cigarettes, but when others come to your house to drink, it's different, they want to smoke.

This can also be regarded as the tobacco and alcohol culture in China, and tobacco and alcohol do not leave home.

"I said village chief, why did you come so early?" Ye Xianglai asked with a smile after taking the cigarette and lighting it.

"Hehe, didn't you come early!" Ye Xianghai said with a smile after taking a puff of his cigarette.

"Isn't it for the sake of eating this delicious dish, but it's all about 'early birds get worms'. Ye Xiangkai said.

"Bah, you're the bird, you're the one who eats insects. ”

Ye Xianghai, the old village chief, looked at Ye Xiangkai angrily and said, "The early bird has worms to eat", he came the earliest, and in his Ye Xianglai's eyes, he became a bird.

"Hehe, as long as there is something delicious and I am a bird, I am willing. Ye Xianglai said with a smile.

"This is the truth, Glory, what kind of dishes did you prepare for us at night?" Ye Xianghai looked at Ye Glory and asked.

"In the evening we eat hot pot. Ye Rongrong said.

"It's good to eat hot pot on such a cold day. ”

Ye Xianglai nodded and said. After all, it's winter now, it's so cold, no matter how delicious the dishes are, it is estimated that half of the wine is not drunk, and the dishes are cold.

This hot dish has become colder, and the taste is much worse, so whether it is in the south or the north, everyone likes to eat hot pot during the coldest days of winter.

……

"Glory, it's also a fish hot pot, why are you making it better than other people's cooking?" After his stomach was half full, the old village chief Ye Xianghai put down his chopsticks a little and asked.

Ye Xianghai didn't eat less of this fish hot pot, but the fish hot pot he ate elsewhere didn't have such a good taste.

"That's right, Glory told us, next time I will get a fish hot pot at home to eat, and I don't want you to make it so delicious, just have half of the delicious food you made. Ye Rongfa also put down his chopsticks and said.

"In fact, to make fish hot pot, this fish is very important, in our country, used to make fish hot pot, it is best to choose herring, herring meat is thick and tender, delicious, rich in fat, large and few spines, but this fish gall bladder should be cleaned up, fish gall bladder is poisonous. Ye Rongrong said.

Herring is a kind of blue fish, mainly distributed in the plain areas south of the Yangtze River, and is scarce in the north of the Yangtze River; It is an important fishery resource in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and lakes along the Yangtze River and the main breeding object in various lakes and ponds, and is one of the "four major fish" in freshwater aquaculture in China.

"Glory, it's not just about fish, I've eaten a lot of herring hot pot, but it's not as delicious as you've made, you can't hide it." Ye Xianghai, the old village head, said.
