As for the cabbage stems, the cuckoo is prepared like this: first brush a thin layer of lard on a stone plate, and fry the pickled cabbage root on it. After frying both sides for a while, I picked them up and ate them, and then told everyone that they were very sweet, crispy and fresh.

She didn't expect the slate roast to be so delicious, as if all the words were not enough to describe it, so she had to say the words "fresh, sweet, tender, and smooth" one by one.

Huang Xiaobao and others only thought it was delicious, and they didn't taste it at all, let alone bother thinking about words to describe it. Whenever a layer of meat was placed on the stone plate, they would take a leaf early and put it in their hands, staring at the stone plate with good eyes. Just wait for the cuckoo or green lotus yellow bird to shout "Okay", then they will stretch out their chopsticks together and pick up the hot fish or beef and put it on the vegetable leaves, then wrap it into a strange shape, and then feed it into the mouth and chew.

While eating, they looked at each other with a smile on their faces.

Huang Li thought that this roasting was too slow, so he poured many cabbage stalks into a stone plate and stir-fried them with chopsticks. After stir-frying for a while, I said to everyone, if you want to eat something crispy, you can eat it now; If you want to eat something softer, wait for her to fry it for a while.

Qinghe smiled: "This method is good, save time." ”

So when she was cooked, everyone went to rob her.

Eating plate after plate of barbecued meat and grilled fish, the laughter was shocking.

Huang Yuan also ate in large quantities, he hadn't eaten much before;

Lin Chun also laughed heartily and fisted with Huang Xiaobao.

On the evening of the thirtieth day of the lunar month, a carnival was staged in the small courtyard on the side of the mountain.

Compared with the noisy and noisy gongs and drums in the village, there is no loss of momentum here.

When the marinated fish fillets and beef slices are grilled, the vegetables are clean. Ren Yuanming shouted that he hadn't eaten well, and he wanted to get some more to continue roasting.

Huang Xiaobao and others are also unsatisfied. They all looked at the cuckoo expectantly.

Du Juan categorically refused, and said to Ren Yuanming: "It's just right that I didn't eat well!" You first stepped on stilts and were hungry. I have eaten so much; What if I eat it again and eat too much? Still walking on stilts? Don't sleep tonight? ”

The little baby blinked and looked at her cousin, and wanted to say, "Don't sleep anymore", but she didn't dare, so she had to give up.

Huang Yuanlin Chun said don't bake it, just eat it again.

So everyone got up and removed the stone plates; The girls put away the dishes and chopsticks and took them to the sink to wash.

Only then did I find out: I felt unfinished just now, but now I feel that my stomach has already eaten. It's so swollen, so he thought about eating again, and Ren Yuanming and Xiao Twist stepped on the stilts again.

The cuckoo smiled: "I'll just say, I'm not full after eating those." ”

Guixiang said: "They are just greedy!" ”

As he spoke, he poured the hawthorn water boiled on the stove and gave it to everyone to drink.

After rinsing a few mouthfuls, Lin Chun took out the hole flute and blew it.

Huang Yuan saw the rise and sang aloud with Xiao Yin.

Although he was in the midst of a voice change, his timbre was clear and loud, completely different from Lin Chun's low and hoarse voice. It sounds like a phoenix.

The sound of the flute and the singing are perfectly matched, which is wonderful!

After the song, the yard was quiet.

Ren Yuanming and Xiao Twist also stopped arguing.

"At the end of the song, it's time to finish."

The cuckoo reminisced about the song. I thought to myself.

It's good to leave some meaning, and it must be tasteless when it's exhausted, so she was the first to speak. As soon as he opened his mouth, he drove people away: "It's late at night." If I don't leave you alone, I'm sleepy. ”

Everyone was shocked. I don't know when.

Listening closely, the gongs and drums in the village also stopped. It can be seen that it is not too early.

So they got up one after another, ready to leave.

Guixiang was still unsatisfied, and said to the cuckoo: "I'm tired to death, I don't want to run around, I'll sleep here, and I'll go with you tomorrow." Won't you go over tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings to your father and mother? And the old lady's house, you have to go too. ”

After finishing speaking, Lin Chun, Huang Yuan, and Huang Xiaobao spoke almost at the same time, all agreeing that she should not run around, just stay; Huang Yuan also asked Huang Li to stay, and Huang Xiaobao also asked Qinghe to stay.

None of them wanted to be lively, leaving the loneliness and coldness to Du Juan alone.

The cuckoo hurriedly stopped her and said don't bother her, just stay with Guixiang.

She could see that Guixiang really didn't want to leave; As for Huang Li, she didn't want her to stay, the Huang family brothers and sisters had been here all night, and there was a shisha at home; Not to mention Qinghe, if she doesn't go home to sleep at the end of the Chinese New Year's Eve, her mother will scold her.

After repeating it a few times, everyone was just right.

So, except for Guixiang, everyone else took their leave.

Leper and Erni personally sent Xiao Mahua back to Li's house.

Lin Chun also left with Huang Yuan and the others.

Huang Yuan walked outside the door, turned to Du Juan and said, "Go home for dinner tomorrow morning." ”

Huang Li also said: "Second sister, we will eat dumplings tomorrow morning, you come early." ”

The cuckoo paused for a moment, then nodded briskly and said, "Hey! ”

Huang Yuan glanced at her deeply, and then led the little sister to turn around and walk down the slope.

After everyone left, the cuckoo closed the courtyard door and said to Guixiang, who was yawning: "Go, take a bath and sleep!" So he went to wash up and rest, and did not mention it.

I didn't say anything all night, and I slept very soundly.

The next morning, the cuckoo was awakened by the sound of a dog barking in the yard.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that the morning light was already bright outside the window.

She lay in the warm bed and didn't want to get up, but the dog barked so loudly that the big rooster joined in the fun, crowing over and over again, so she had to grit her teeth and get up.

"Cinnamon incense."

She shouted at Guixiang, who was sleeping soundly.

shouted twice and didn't wake up, so he simply lifted the quilt and dragged her.

Guixiang couldn't stand the toss, got up sleepily, and muttered: "I didn't go home last night, just to sleep a little more at your place, so as to save the New Year's greetings from waking up in the morning." Wake up so early, it's in vain. ”

The cuckoo laughed and said, "It's still early? You go out and have a look! ”

He jumped off the bed and said, "You are more difficult than a yellow bird." ”

Cinnamon slowly dressed.

Cuckoo asked, "You don't want to play today?" ”

When Guixiang heard this, she perked up and asked, "What are you playing today?" ”

Cuckoo smiled: "I don't know. ”

Seeing that she was disappointed, she said again: "Lin Chun said that there is something fun." ”

Guixiang just puffed up again.

After the two of them freshened up, they placed the animals in the house again. He didn't get anything to eat, so he crossed the river and went to the village to pay New Year's greetings. Arrived in the village. They left separately and agreed to meet at the Lin family's old house. Du Juan went to Huang's house.

It's a rare sunny day.

Standing at the gate of the Huangjia Courtyard, the cuckoo looked at the doorway with some emotion.

Ever since the shisha came, every time she entered the door, she had to be injured. It seems that the mood is calmer today, so there shouldn't be any more waves, right?

She thought as she walked inside.

Huang Li was busy in the kitchen with Fang Huofeng, and when she saw her coming, she hurriedly greeted her and shouted, "Second sister." "Fang Huofeng is slightly certain. also smiled and stepped forward to greet him.

The cuckoo is wearing a red cotton skirt today, with a small leather jacket of the same color with a waist, and the neckline, placket and cuffs are inlaid with pure white fox fur, and a crimson cloak with a hood is draped outside, but it is a red fox lining; The black hair is still the same as before, only a Nanmu phoenix hairpin is inserted, and there are no new patterns.

The coarse cloth dress is lined with a white coat color, which makes her tall and beautiful look very different from the past, radiating a compelling vitality and dazzling light!

For some reason, Fang Huofeng, who was not good-looking, was a little ashamed.

She had to admit it: fade away from the identity of gold and jade and stand with the cuckoo. She can't compare to her; Her softness and elegance are not commensurate with this mountain wilderness, and she is not as bright as the vitality and aura that blooms on the rhododendron, just as fresh and intoxicating as a budding flower.

The cuckoo looked at Fang Huofeng, and his heart only moved slightly. Just laughed.

She nodded to her and said, "Happy New Year." So he followed the oriole into the upper room.

Fang Huofeng looked at her back in a daze, as if he didn't believe it.

She turned around and instructed Hong Ling to prepare to boil the dumplings. Pick up the boiling water on the stove to make tea, and then serve it on a tray. Sent into the upper room.

In Feng's house in the upper room, the cuckoo had taken off his cloak. The two of them were sitting and laughing.

Fang Huofeng put down the tray, personally held the coarse porcelain cup in front of the cuckoo, and said softly: "Girl, please drink tea!" ”

Du Juan hurriedly got up and took it with both hands, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Miss Fang!" ”

Fang Huofeng was stunned again before turning around and holding another cup to Feng.

Feng Shi was very happy to see that they didn't have a face, and the other party Huofeng and Huang Li said, "The cuckoo is here, let's make dumplings." What about Yuan'er? ”

Huang Li hurriedly said: "My brother went to grandma's." ”

The cuckoo said, "Then he must have eaten it at Grandma's." ”

Today, the grandmother will definitely leave her grandson for breakfast.

Ran Huang Li said: "Brother said that he would come back and eat." ”

Feng said, "That's more." ”

The cuckoo thought it was strange, but said no more.

Fang Huofeng said to Huang Li: "Why don't the three girls go and scream." ”

Huang Li nodded and ran out.

Fang Huofeng saw that the mother and daughter were talking intimately, so he quietly retreated.

Here, Du Juan asked some questions about whether Feng's body was sinking or not, how to eat, and so on.

Huang Yuan went to his grandfather to greet the New Year, and then went to the house of the third and fourth grandfathers of Huang, and then turned home, and met Huang Li who went to call him at the door.

When he heard that the cuckoo was coming, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The brother and sister then turned around and came back together.

When he entered the house and saw the cuckoo, Huang Yuan greeted with a smile, "Coming?" ”

The cuckoo smiled, "Of course it's coming." I still want to sleep a little longer, but I'm afraid that you have eaten, and I came late and didn't catch up with the meal, so I had to grit my teeth and get up. ”

Feng and the others laughed together.

Feng said: "If you pack a lot, you will be late, and I will leave it for you." ”

At this time, Fang Huofeng came in and asked, "It's time to eat." Is it outside, or is it in the aunt's house? ”

Feng Shi got up and said, "Go out to eat, it's too crowded." ”

Du Juan hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and asked Huang Yuandao, "Where's Dad?" ”

Huang Yuan said: "Dad eats at grandma's house." ”

Feng said: "Regardless of him, we eat ours." ”

Huang Li and Fang Huofeng went to the kitchen to serve dumplings.

After a few trips back and forth, some side dishes, broth, and dumplings were brought to the table of the eight immortals in the hall, and everyone sat down in a group and started eating.

The cuckoo took a bite and ate it, and then praised: "Well, this stuffing tastes good." ”

Huang Li said: "Sister Fang and I got it." ”

The cuckoo smiled at Fang Huofeng: "Miss Fang's craftsmanship is extraordinary. ”

Fang Huofeng looked at her bright smile and was a little uncomfortable, and said with a smile: "The girl praised it falsely. I heard that the girl's craftsmanship is good. ”

The cuckoo said: "It's not a false praise. It is unique to each other. ”

While speaking, he persuaded Feng to eat more.

Feng Shi took a spoon to help her scoop the soup, and said, "Don't you love to drink this soup!" (To be continued......)
