"Xiaojie, is the meal ready?" Zhang Dashan asked as he entered the door and put down his hoe.

"Dad, don't worry, it's already done, I'm waiting for you to come back" Zhang Xiaojie saw Zhang Dashan coming back, poured the used water in the basin and replaced it with a clean basin and put it on the shelf.

"That's good, it, you go pretend, that kid is going to get out of school. Zhang Dashan said while wiping his face.

"Got it, just use that new basket you made, right?" Zhang put down the things in his hand, scooped up a little water, and came out to wash his hands.

"You can do it, just use that," Zhang Dashan wiped his face, put down the cloth towel in his hand, and then went back to his room, ready to change his clothes and go again.

"Okay" Zhang Shi responded and turned his head to ask Zhang Xiaojie: "Xiaojie, what about the things you made?"

"Mother, you wait, I'll get it" Zhang Xiaojie ran to the kitchen and looked inside the stove, it had been half an hour since she put it in, and the yellow mud had been roasted black and hardened, and she carefully took it out with tongs.

"Oh, Xiao Jie, what are you?" Zhang exclaimed when he saw Xiao Jie take out such a mud block from the stove.

"Mother, don't worry! It's okay, wait for me" Zhang Xiaojie didn't dare to tell Zhang immediately that this was a pheasant, otherwise I was afraid that Zhang would be scared, and if such a chicken didn't come out, Zhang would probably be distressed to death......

Zhang Xiaojie turned around to look for the wooden stick that had just been prepared, but after looking around, she found that there was none, and when she was about to change it, Erya said, "Sister is looking for this?"

"That's right, why are you here in Erya?" Erya is not naughty and doesn't like to play this, Zhang Xiaojie said strangely.

"Sanya took it to catch the chicken just now" Erya blushed a little embarrassed, because she also played with it, and she still saw Zhang Xiaojie looking for it, so she took it.

"Sister is going to use it to knock this?" Erya looked at Zhang Xiaojie with some curiosity and gestured on the mud with a wooden stick.

"Xiao Jie, what the hell is this?" Zhang Shi asked after pulling Erya to prevent her from getting hot in the past.

"Mother, Erya, don't worry, you'll know right away" Zhang Xiaojie turned back to Zhang and Erya and smiled.

After Zhang Xiaojie finished speaking, she began to knock on the mud block in Zhang's eyes with a wooden stick, and the mud cracked along the wooden stick, and a strange aroma floated out along the crack.

"Xiao Jie, is this the pheasant?" asked Zhang first, coming back to his senses.

"Yes, mother, wait a minute" Zhang Xiaojie replied without raising her head, and then continued to carefully knock the mud with a wooden stick, and the leaves of the goat weed on the mud were stained together, revealing the burnt yellow pheasant inside.

The pheasant mixed with the slight spicy taste of epimedium and the fragrance of chanterelles in the chicken belly, and the umami of the pheasant itself mixed with a strange fragrance, and the hook swallowed saliva.

Zhang saw that the body of the chicken had been completely exposed, and the fragrance was permeated, "Xiaojie, this is what you made, so fragrant, how do you get it?" Looking at the chicken, Zhang didn't dare to reach out and touch it, after all, it was to be given to the master, but the fragrance smelled so good, it should be delicious!

"Mother, it's okay, you can put this chicken directly in the wooden plate, and I'll tell my father directly how to eat it later" Zhang Xiaojie looked at Zhang and said.

"That's okay" As soon as Zhang heard this, he began to quickly pretend what Zhang Dashan wanted to take away, and Zhang Dashan changed into a clean dark brown vertical brown.

"How's the child, is it pretended?" asked Zhang Dashan as soon as he left the room.

"Okay, will Ah Yan come back for dinner later?" Zhang handed the basket to Zhang Dashan and asked.

"Well, just listen to his master later," Zhang Dashan took the basket and looked at it. The basket contained a small jar of corn wine, a piece of mutton, and a loaded chicken, and when I saw the aroma of the chicken, I couldn't help asking, "Why didn't you cut this chicken?"

"You don't know how to make this chicken, Xiaojie said she told you how to eat it!" Zhang nodded Zhang Xiaojie's head and said in a strange tone.

"Why does this chicken still have a saying?" Zhang Dashan asked curiously looking at Xiao Jie.

"En, Dad, you will tell the master about this chicken, you have to take out the chanterelles in your stomach and put it on a plate, and then chop the chicken into small pieces and you can eat it, I also added epimedium to this chicken!" Zhang Xiaojie said to Zhang Dashan with some pride.

"You girl just has a lot of ideas, listen to you, this chicken is so fragrant!" Zhang Dashan sighed, and then went out with the basket to the private school in the east of the village.

Yan Fuzi lives at the back of the private school, it is a two-entry yard, this is the best house in the village, because Yan Fuzi opened a private school in the village have made some money, of course, the next village also has some, after all, this is the first private school in Shili Eight Village.

Zhang Dashan carried the basket all the way through the village with such a swagger, because these days it has been spread in the village that it is said that the Zhang family's son was favored by Yan Fuzi, and the people in the village didn't believe it very much at first.

Needless to say, Master Yan's status in the village is needless to say, you must know that Master Yan's students over the years have all passed the exam.

Although he didn't become a big official, I heard that in other counties, he was also a master who worked in the yamen, and he took over his family, and sometimes gave gifts to Master Yan over the years!

And over the years, almost all of the people that Master Yan has taken a fancy to have been admitted to Xiucai, at least he has been admitted to Tongsheng, although Master Yan has taken a fancy to a total of six people in recent years, and now it seems that this mountain family is going to have a show in the future, and everyone in the village can't help but think so.

Zhang Dashan was looked at by everyone's envious eyes, and suddenly felt comfortable in his heart, and his steps went to the private school quickly, and Xiaoshi was about to get out of school immediately.

As soon as Zhang Dashan arrived at the door of the private school, he found that one by one the elementary school children were walking out of the door, and at a glance he saw a small stone talking to Master Yan, and Zhang Dashan went in sideways.

After Zhang Dashan left, Zhang Xiaojie lifted the lid of the pot and put the shredded herbs and green onions on the cutting board into the fish porridge and stirred it.

"Sister, Sister is so fragrant" Sanya, who didn't know when she ran to the kitchen, jumped into the pot and said while looking into the pot.

Zhang Xiaojie felt that Sanya's mouth was already covered with saliva when she said this, and said with a smile: "This is the fruit of your labor today!"

"Xiaojie, what are you doing today?" asked Zhang Shi when he took Erya to the kitchen.

"Mother, this is fish porridge, but I've picked out all the thorns," Zhang Xiaojie said as if she was a child.

"Where did the fish come from? did you go down to the river?" asked Zhang, instead of being happy when he heard the fish, his face became serious.

"Mother, no, it's Sanya and my sister who went to see the third brother and the second brother catch it today, the second brother and the third brother said that it was given to the elder brother, saying that it was congratulations" Sanya explained when he saw Zhang's face change next to him, but he was too anxious and didn't explain anything.

"Mother, it was the eldest brother who knew that the younger brother was favored by Mr., so he borrowed the net and caught the fish and gave it to us. Erya said it clearly.

As soon as Zhang heard that he didn't go down to the river, he didn't keep a straight face, touched the second and third girls to show praise, and hugged Zhang Xiaojie down from the chair and said, "Today, your father went to thank Master Yan, except for the bowl left for Xiaoshi, you can eat everything else." ”
