The cuckoo was also happy to see so many people coming.

She looked at it slightly, and her gaze involuntarily fell on Huang Yuan.

Under the firelight, his eyes were warm, revealing the honest and honest side, but with the elegance of a scholar, his expression was calm and indifferent.

He also looked at her quietly, feeling that she was no longer as lonely and independent as before, her smile was as bright as ever, and he felt a lot more relieved to see her like this.

The cuckoo greeted everyone one by one, and also nodded and smiled at Huang Yuan.

Xiaoshun stepped forward and handed a small crockpot wrapped in cloth to Du Juan, and whispered: "Second sister, this is hemp candy, made by my mother, for you to eat." ”

The cuckoo took it, held it with one hand and said with a smile: "Huang Li also gave it to me." ”

Xiao Shun said: "The second sister keeps it and eats it slowly." ”

The cuckoo touched the young man's head with his other hand, lowered his voice and asked playfully, "You brought this, does grandma know?" ”

Xiao Shun was stunned and a little at a loss.

The cuckoo knew that he was hiding it from Aunt Huang, and sneered.

Xiao Shun lowered his head and didn't make a sound.

At this time, Guixiang and Qinghe came over, pulled the cuckoo and laughed and said.

Guixiang has always been good with Du Juan, and Qinghe is about to become a relative with Du Juan, and she is also very close to three points, plus Erni, several female babies chatter and fight.

"Cuckoo, look what good things I've brought you!"

Guixiang pointed to the things Huang Xiaobao was carrying on his shoulders and said to Du Juan very mysteriously.

The cuckoo handed the small clay pot to Xiaoshun and asked him to send it into the house; While holding Yuanqing from Huang Li's hand, he told her to go to the house and bring a stool out. While letting everyone sit, he smiled at Guixiang and said, "Is it a stone pot?" ”

Guixiang shouted, "You guessed and you won!" ”

Erni smiled: "You said you brought it earlier." What's so hard to guess about this. ”

Qinghe smiled: "There is one more, cuckoo, you must not guess." ”

The cuckoo looked. Sure enough, Huang Xiaobao put the things on his shoulders down, it looked very heavy, Huang Yuan supported him on the side, and Lin Chun also went to pick it up.

When they put down the ground, everyone looked: one was a stone pot, and the other was a large rectangular stone plate, which was supported by a net made of iron wire, and the barbed wire was closed at both ends and braided into two handles with wooden handles. It's ready.

Guixiang said proudly to the cuckoo: "I think you always say that it is better to cook things in a stone pot, it is better to use this for barbecue, it is clean and does not stain ashes, so I asked my father to make this." For you, it's a New Year's gift. ”

The crowd laughed.

The cuckoo looked at the stone plate in surprise, and praised her for being smart and thinking.

Guixiang was very proud, because she saw that there was a ready-made fire, so she asked the cuckoo to test.

Originally. There are many rocks in the northeast of Quanshui Village, and there are many stonemasons in the village, who make various things out of stone, including stone pots. It's just because this stone pot is difficult to carve. It's bulky and heavy, and it's worth a lot of money when sold outside the mountain, and people in the village won't spend a lot of money to buy it. Therefore, the stonemasons were reluctant to do it for the villagers. Nowadays, except for a few families in the village who still use iron pots or casseroles fired in earthen kilns, are cheaper than it.

The cuckoo likes to cook old soup in a stone pot in winter. It's enough to say.

She knows that cooking things in a stone pot is healthy, so she likes it.

That's why Guixiang helped her do this.

The cuckoo was grateful. Thank you again and again.

Guixiang said no thanks, the stone pot was originally bought by Du Juan, and the stone plate was relatively easy to make, and she gave it away.

At that moment, the cuckoo called Huang Li into the kitchen to help, killed a big fish, slipped it into thin slices, used it as a seasoning, marinated it in several plates, and brought it out on several plates, ready to grill the fish for fun.

When they came out, everyone was already sitting around the fire and laughing.

The cuckoo raised his eyes and walked straight to Lin Chun.

Huang Yuan came, she was a little uncomfortable when she saw him, sitting next to Lin Chun was to rely on, defend, and attack, and of course, to ask him to help grill fish and entertain everyone.

Lin Chun hurriedly got up, took the bamboo saucer in her hand, and asked, "Is this burning?" What if it boils and cracks? ”

Guixiang hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter, this stone is the strongest." My father specially picked a chisel, and there is a layer of barbed wire underneath, and it doesn't cook soup, even if it cracks, it won't leak. ”

Du Juan said: "Uncle Wang is sincere and thoughtful. ”

Huang Li was stunned when she saw the cuckoo sitting next to Lin Chun, she sat next to Huang Yuan, and prepared a small stool for the cuckoo, waiting for her to come, who knew that she went over there. was about to call her, but Lin Chun said to her, "Huang Li, bring the stool." ”

The oriole looked at the cuckoo.

The cuckoo stretched out his hand as if nothing had happened, "Hand it to me." ”

Huang Li belched and hurriedly sent the stool over.

When Huang Yuan saw this scene, he couldn't help lowering his eyes.

At that moment, Lin Chun washed the stone plate first, and then hung it above the fire with a stand.

When the stone plate is hot, the cuckoo, cinnamon and green lotus use chopsticks to pick up the fish fillets and put them on top to roast, without even brushing the oil, because the stone slab will not stick. As soon as the fish fillet was put on, it "sizzled", and there was a burst of light smoke, and the aroma spread.

Everyone laughed, sniffed, and stared at the stone plate with joy and anticipation, waiting to taste what this unique grilled fish would taste like.

Huang Li grabbed a handful of chopsticks and a stack of wooden bowls in his hand, and distributed them to everyone one by one in a circle.

The cuckoo stared at the slate intently, seeing that the color of the fish fillets turned white, and hurriedly said to Guixiang: "Turn it over!" Turn it over and bake it for a while, and it's almost done. ”

So the three of them hurriedly turned the grilled fish around.

Xiao Yuanqing leaned next to the cuckoo and watched his sisters grill fish with novelty in his eyes.

Seeing that all the fish on the stone slab had been turned over, some of them couldn't be clamped, and they broke when they touched it, so he immediately changed a pair of clean chopsticks and quickly put them into the wooden bowl, and said in his mouth: "You can eat it!" Pick it up! Quick, do it yourself. ”

As he spoke, he handed the bowl in his hand to Yuanqing, "Yuanqing will taste it first." ”

Yuanqing smiled shyly, picked up a little with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, "It's so hot." ”

The cuckoo hurriedly said: "Blow it and eat it slowly." ”

Blowing for her as he spoke.

I could hear the sound of inhaling all around, and the muffled voice of the tongue, "It's so fragrant!" "Tender!" "Oops, it's delicious!"

When the cuckoo looked at it, the stone plate was already bare.

Lin Chun took two pieces. Bring the bowl to her and let her eat it first.

Only then did the cuckoo use chopsticks to pick up a piece and eat it. Sure enough, it is tender and smooth, and it melts in your mouth. The fragrance is incomparable, and it is a rare delicacy. I don't know if it's because the fish is better, or if it's the way to grill it on a stone plate, or if the fish she makes tastes good.

She smiled happily, with indescribable joy and pride.

Inadvertently, his eyes collided into Huang Yuan's eyes, and he was looking at her fiercely.

She paused, still smiling, and raised the bowl to him, "Eat!" It's really delicious, fresh, tender and smooth. Much better than the usual grilled fish. ”

Huang Yuan bowed his head slightly, bowed his head and ate his own.

Guixiang and Qinghe laughed and said that they should do this when they go home.

Stone pans are much easier to carve than stone pots, which is cheap.

The cuckoo said solemnly: "This grilled fish is so good, if it is barbecued, it will definitely not be bad." This dish has to be named, I invented it. Let's call it slate fried fish! ”

And everybody said yes.

Huang Xiaobao said: "It's good to call anything." Grill the fish first. ”

He couldn't wait, so he directly grabbed the sashimi with his chopsticks and put it on the stone plate, and the others also started to do it one after another, self-sufficient.

Erni smiled: "Didn't you say you didn't want to eat it?" Now it's like a starving ghost! ”

Grilled fish was said before. Huang Xiaobao and others said that they didn't want to eat it, and told the cuckoo not to bother.

Who knew that it was so good to bake, and everyone grabbed it together, so naturally the interest increased greatly.

Everyone didn't care about her jokes. Just grill fish and eat fish.

The cuckoo smiled and said, "This shows that the fried fish on the slate is attractive." ”

Everyone laughed, but Huang Yuan sat quietly and ate fish. Occasionally glanced at the cuckoo, but did not speak.

Huang Li sat beside him. The chopsticks are like flying, picking fish fillets, grilled fish. After baking, I changed a pair of chopsticks and brought it back, and the brother and sister ate it separately. She was busy baking and eating, and she was sitting by the fire, and her head was sweating.

Huang Yuan ate a few pieces and said to her, "I won't eat it." I roasted you and ate it. ”

Huang Li asked suspiciously, "Brother can roast?" ”

Huang Yuan said softly: "Try it." It doesn't seem to be that difficult. ”

Huang Li thought about it, the fish fillets are all pickled, as long as they are put on the stone plate, and it will be good to turn over after a while, so he let him try it, and he just eats it.

Over there, Lin Chun also roasted it for the cuckoo to eat.

The cuckoo was not hungry and did not want to eat, but it was rare to be so happy, so the fish he sent to him ate it unconsciously. Suddenly I felt swollen, and then I woke up and said, "I can't eat anymore, and I can't sleep at night if I eat again." ”

He said to the crowd, "What about you? Don't eat it. Play for a while, play for a while and then bake. Remove the stone plate and save yourself from looking at it. ”

Although everyone was reluctant, they also knew that she was right, and they all stopped.

Lin Chun and the leper each carried a triangular stand, moved the stone plate away from the fire, and then sat down again to speak; The cuckoo went to the house and found some dried hawthorn and gave them to everyone to eat, and boiled water to drink.

After walking around, he suddenly saw Ren Yuanming, and asked, "Where is Yuanming?" ”

"I'm here!"

With a loud shout, everyone turned their heads in unison.

I saw that under the eaves of the attic corridor, Ren Yuanming was riding on the wooden railing like a monkey, holding a long penny, propped up on the ground of the courtyard downstairs, and was about to jump.

The cuckoo screamed in horror "Don't ......"

Before she could stop it, the little baby had already climbed off the railing and jumped downstairs with the penny.

Everyone stared blankly at the little little point that fell in the air, and they all opened their mouths wide, and there was a dead silence in the yard, only to hear the "crackling" sound of firewood burning,

For a moment, the cuckoo felt his heart stop beating.

The figure flashed in front of him, and Lin Chun had already swept over.

She also pounced, and found that the baby had landed before Lin Chun caught him, and when she stood firm, she let out a triumphant cheer, "Oh! Oh! Huh—"

But then the sound came to an abrupt halt.

Lin Chun took him by the collar and spun it, making him lie in his arms facing him, slapped his big hand on his buttocks, hit him a few times, and said angrily: "You are going to die!" ”

Xiao Twist worshiped Ren Yuanming to the extreme, and cheered with him.

However, Ren Yuanming was beaten, and he was not cheering but gloating.

Ren Yuanming, like a leather monkey, laughed more and more. (To be continued......)
