When I returned to Zhao Ma's yard, there were more cars coming, and there were more and more people in the yard. [Full text reading]

"Heh, Lao Zhao, it seems that there are a lot of people."

The ninth master said with a smile. Although he doesn't know exactly which position Zhao Ma has gone to, "He doesn't quite understand these things, but he knows that this Zhao Ma, who is younger than himself, is the most beautiful person in the village to go out", and it is not strange to have this pomp and circumstance.

"Heh, it's just some old subordinates." Zhao Ma said with a smile. He was born in the military, although he has retired now, but there are many "apprentices and grandchildren", plus his children and grandchildren are also very promising now, these people are normal.

Zhao Ma has been living in the village all these years, "but no matter what, he also likes to be lively", this time there are so many people coming to the big birthday, and he is also quite happy.

"Let's go, Ninth Master, let's go in."

With that, Zhao Ma and Jiu Ye walked inside.

"You're not going in?" Seeing that Zhao Pushu didn't want to walk in, Luo Ding couldn't help but ask curiously.

Shaking his head, Zhao Pushu said: "Let's not go in first, the ones who come are grandpa's old ministry and the like, and they are talking about some of the past, and I don't have much interest on the side." After thinking about it for a while, Luo Dingxian Zhao Pushu was not wrong, although Zhao Pushu is also a soldier, but after all, he is not a generation, and some topics are not suitable for her next side.

"How about we go over and have a look?" Luo Ding pointed to the large cauldron that was lined up and said, "He is quite curious about this kind of dish that serves wine in the village.

In fact, "what is even more curious about this is that Zhao Pushu "She has been clothed and fed since she was a child", and she has never experienced such a thing, so when she heard Luo Ding propose to go and see, she immediately agreed.

It's all cauldron with a diameter of more than one meter" so it looks quite domineering, and at this time it is the time when the fire is in full swing, the red tongue of fire licks the bottom of the pot, and the water vapor like water mist rises, and the long-handled spatula is waving one after another, and inside is a large piece of meat or vegetables.

Seeing Zhao Pushu's curious look, "Luo Ding knew that she must have never seen such a way of cooking, for Zhao Pushu, everything she eats is carefully crafted" Where would you see such a rough way of cooking?

So it's inevitable to feel fresh.

Zhao Pushu nodded and said, "Yes, it's the first time I've seen it, I've never seen such a situation before." ”

"That's how the birthday feast is held in the village, in fact, this thing tastes good.

"Really?"

For this, "Zhao Pushu didn't believe it a little, and the big pot dishes in front of him didn't look very delicious.

Luo Ding smiled, walked in front of a cauldron, and then said to the master in charge, "Master, how is the dish?" Try? "Oh, it's almost there" to taste it.

said, "With a wave of the big spoon in his hand, a few fried meatballs were handed to Luo Ding and Zhao Pushu.

After it cooled down for a while, Luo Ding directly grabbed one with his hand, threw it into his mouth, chewed it, and raised his big fingers" and said, "Okay! When the master heard Luo Ding say this, he immediately split his mouth and laughed.

"Come on, give it a try, it must be good."

Luo Ding said to Zhao Pushu.

Zhao Pushu hesitated a little, this meatball does not look a little golden, but a little soft, and the color is also yellow, and the shape has no relationship with the circle, but has an irregular shape, which seems to be directly "squeezed" by hand and comes out. Is something like this delicious?

Zhao Pushu really didn't believe it.

Luo Ding saw Zhao Pushu's hesitation, he didn't care so much, he directly grabbed a grain and "stuffed" it into Zhao Pushu's hand, Zhao Pushu saw this, so he had to pinch it at first with a little hesitation, chewed it tentatively a few times, and then his eyes lit up, put the rest of the part in his mouth, and ate it.

"Good!" , Zhao Pushu also raised his thumb like Luo Ding. Zhao Pushu's praise is sincere, "She didn't expect that this inconspicuous meatball would be very crispy after entering the mouth, and the other key problem is that it is not blindly crispy to the point of crispy, but very elastic, when biting, it is like biting on the gum, and that aroma is also something she has never tasted, which makes her have a rather fresh feeling."

Hearing Zhao Pushu say this, the expression on the master's face was even richer, like a blooming fresh ua, people like them have been in the village all their lives, in fact, they don't know much about the outside world, but they can also see that Zhao Ma is a "dignitary", and like Zhao Pushu, that is, the so-called official lady in the past, what can be appreciated by them is naturally a good thing, and this kind of satisfaction is something that ordinary people can't experience.

Looking at the dishes coming out of the cauldron, Zhao Pushu didn't dare to underestimate it anymore: "It's really quite good, I didn't expect it to be like this." ”

"Country food is really the first requirement, that is to say, the first thing they make is to fill the stomach. So things look relatively large, and at the same time, the village is also good-looking, which does not mean that it has to be shark fin lobster or the like, chicken, duck and fish, but these chickens, ducks and fish meat must be local things, that is, the materials must be sufficient, so the things here may not be expensive, but they are real, and they must be the best things within a radius of dozens of miles. ”

"There is another very key thing" that is, these people, don't look at any training or anything like that, but many of them have been cooking all their lives, and they are all famous people in nearby villages for cooking, "their best skills are all proven by time, and they are completely from practice, there is no theory, but there is practice."

"The above factors add up" to make something that does not look good, but the taste is definitely not bad. ”

Zhao Pushu thought about it for a while, this is indeed the truth, the food in the countryside tastes good, and it is quite normal.

"It looks like I'm full this time. Blessed. ”

Zhao Pushu also understands why his grandfather insists on not using the chefs his children and grandchildren find for him, such dishes can't be made by those chefs, and this is a treat in the countryside, and those exquisite dishes and the like "The people in the countryside don't accept it, this is a matter of customs, and a problem of eating habits."

A few cauldrons like Zhao Ma are lined up, and then a hundred or dozens of tables are opened, and as soon as this big bowl of fish and meat is served, it is very magnificent.

By noon, the banquet had already been set up, and round tables were set up under the big trees, "the fish and meat on it were directly loaded into the big bowls, and as soon as the firecrackers were set off, the whole village began to move." All of a sudden, it was very lively, those who came early, those who had a place to sit "ate first" came a little later, and there were no seats, so they looked for a place to chat in groups of three or five, and when there was an empty table, they sat down together.

"Heh, there's a custom you don't know."

Looking at those who were eating and drinking quite happily, Luo Dingxiao said to Zhao Pushu.

"What customs?"

Zhao Pushu asked curiously, although she also lived in the village when she was a child, she was young after all, and the main time was not in the village, but outside, and many customs and habits were no longer understood.

"That firecracker just now is famous. The village "has a banquet, and generally the people who come will more or less wrap a red envelope, but as soon as the firecracker is hung, it is said to the whole village that although you come to eat "everyone has a good time", you don't need to wrap a red envelope.

"Oh, there are such customs!"

For this, Zhao Pushu has really never heard of it.

"Well, our ancestors are actually very particular about these" Everything is in the law, and there is no need to say such things directly, hang a string of firecrackers, so that it is festive and everyone understands the meaning. How nice. ”

In fact, Feng Shui is the same, there are many things that do not necessarily work, but a custom or can give people a kind of psychological comfort, but people often regard this as superstition" This view is really one-sided.

It is impossible for the time of the birthday banquet in the village to end quickly, and this time Zhao Ma did it quite big, "It is estimated that it will not be finished until dark, Zhao Pushu's personality is relatively cold, so he didn't talk much, and Luo Ding didn't know too many people here, so it was really good to accompany Zhao Pushu to take a look and talk again."

However, such a good time can't always be there, when Zhao Pushu and Luo Ding walked past the table, they heard a voice calling out: "Dude, come and drink, dare not!" ”

Luo Ding followed the voice and looked over, and now the people sitting at this table are all sturdy men, who seem to be in their early twenties, although they are not wearing military uniforms, but they know that they are soldiers at a glance with their appearance and temperament.

After looking at Zhao Pushu, Luo Ding smiled and said, "Someone has challenged, I'll deal with it." ”

Zhao Pushu thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay." ", she is a soldier" knew that these young men might have seen Luo Ding and himself come together, so they also started to weigh Luo Ding's thoughts, and drinking is undoubtedly a good way to compete.

It's like this, the character of a soldier is like this, it's relatively straight, if you can really get them to serve you at the wine table, then you will become friends!

For this, Zhao Pushu will not object, in fact, "She also knows that since Luo Ding dares to fight, with her understanding of Luo Ding, she has a certain degree of certainty, at least she will not say that it is too bad, or who would dare to drink with these soldiers?"

Looking at Luo Ding, who was striding towards the table of soldiers, Zhao Pushu's heart also felt funny, Luo Ding was sometimes as mature as a fifty-year-old person, but now he was like a young man who was only eighteen years old, and he caught fire with a puff.
