Chapter Eighty-Nine: Egg Noodles for Cockfighting

Little Tintin circled around the Cheche Mountain, and the dewy blades of grass wet her pants. As a young girl, she also fell several times, leaving her whole body covered in mud.

Walking through the grave slope and looking at the graves hidden in the wild grass and shrubs, little Ding Ding was a little frightened. But last year, she and her sister found several large cockfighting cocks there.

Little Tintin hesitated to look for it in the graveyard.

I don't know when, Qiuqiu has been following behind Little Tintin. It screamed, and ran in front of Little Tintin to the graveyard.

"Qiuqiu, come back." Little Tintin shouted, and ran with the ball to the graveyard. There is a ball in the ball, and little Ding Ding is much bolder.

The ball sniffed in the graveyard. Suddenly, it stopped in front of the grave of the seventh old lady and screamed loudly.

Little Tintin walked over and found the cockfights that had not yet been covered by dead grass with the stilts.

"Haha, Qiuqiu, you're so good. You've got a good nose. Little Tintin smiled and patted the ball on the head. Qiuqiu stuck out his tongue and licked Little Tintin's hand.

Yes, this dog's nose is much smarter than a human nose, and you can bring a ball to find a cockfighter in the future, which can not only help find a cockfighter, but also give yourself courage. Little Tintin thought it was a great idea.

Although the cockfights had not yet lifted their canopies, Little Tintin decided to dig them up. Otherwise, I would have worked in vain this morning, and I'm sorry for the few falls I fell.

"Little Dingding, it's time to eat." Xiaoqing shouted loudly at the door, where did this little guy run early in the morning, and he still had to go to school.

Xiaoqing shouted around anxiously for Xiao Dingding. This guy is really getting more and more disobedient, and he should really slap her when he finds her.

"Sister, I'm here." When Xiao Dingding, who was covered in mud and water, stood in front of Xiaoqing, he startled her.

"What are you doing, this early in the morning. You see how dirty your clothes are. Xiao Qing was so angry that he gave Xiao Ding Ding a few slaps.

Xiao Dingding's eyes were full of tears of grievance, but he didn't dare to cry, "Sister, look, I found the cockfighter." ”

Xiao Ding Ding showed the cockfighting cocks to Xiaoqing.

"You ghost doll, so early in the morning, you're not afraid that those wild ghosts will arrest you." Xiaoqing regretted her impulsiveness a little, and she shouldn't have beaten Xiao Ding Ding without asking clearly. But the anger in her heart has not completely disappeared, and her voice is still angry.

Little Ding Ding smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, there are balls following me." ”

"Let's go, go back quickly, or you'll be late for school." Xiaoqing pulled Xiao Ding Ding and walked briskly home.

When she got home, Xiaoqing hurriedly changed Xiao Dingding's clothes and urged her to eat and pack her schoolbag.

Xiaoqing used a pot to hold the well water for the fighting cocks that Xiao Ding picked up.

"Sister, these cockfighting cocks have not been opened, let's keep them for ourselves." Xiao Ding Ding remembered that last year, she and Xiaoqing sometimes dug up broken cockfighting cocks, and her mother made egg noodles for them. She will never forget the deliciousness.

Now that my mom is gone, I can't eat that delicacy anymore. Little Tintin sighed bitterly.

Xiaoqing glanced at Xiao Dingding, looked at her frowning brows, and felt a faint pain in her heart, and felt even more guilty for the slaps she had slapped.

"Okay, let's make cockfighting egg noodles at night."

"yes, that's great." Little Tintin shook his head happily, and the pigtails on his head swayed with it.

When I came back from school in the evening, the canopies of those cockfighting mushrooms had been opened. The long stipe was topped with a small umbrella, and the pot was crowded.

"yes, sister, those cockfights are open." Little Tintin put down his schoolbag and ran over to see the cockfighting men. Touching the delicate canopy with your hand, they are smooth as if they have been smeared with a layer of oil.

Xiaoqing knew that Xiao Ding Ding didn't have the heart to do her homework now, so she asked her to make egg noodles for cockfighting cocks with her.

Xiaoqing found a few pumpkin leaves to clean the cockfighter. Tiny burrs on pumpkin leaves can brush away the dirt on the cockcock without harming it.

Wash the cockfighting by hand and tear it into small strips. The cockfighting that Little Ding Ding picked up tore almost a small basin. The fragrance of torn cockfighting cocks filled the whole room.

Xiaoqing took Xiao Ding Ding to pick some green peppers in the field, and then went to pick some fresh peppercorns from the pepper tree of the Seven Old Han's house.

"Little Dingding, you ghost doll, what are you doing picking my peppercorns?" When the seven old men saw it, they teased little Dingding.

Xiao Ding Ding stuck out his tongue and said, "Seventh Grandpa, let's eat egg noodles with fighting cocks today, and pick a little pepper from you." You're too stingy to talk about me. ”

"Little one, you've picked up the cockfighter. There is a blessing in the mouth, and the seventh grandfather will come over to eat a little later. The seventh old man said with some envy. The cockfighting cocks near Cheche Mountain were almost all poached by the stilts and those early dolls. The seven old men haven't eaten cockfighting cocks for many years.

"Seventh Grandpa, come over and eat at night, I'll make more." Xiaoqing said.

The seventh old man shook his head and said, "Thank you, I teased you." Grandpa Seventh was lucky today, and when he was cutting rabbit grass, he also picked up two fighting cocks, the size of Xiao Dingding's head. We also eat egg noodles for cockfighting cocks tonight. ”

Little Tintin touched her head and imagined how big a cockfight would be the size of her head.

Looking at Xiao Ding Ding's cute appearance, Xiaoqing and the seven old men laughed happily.

This summer rain after the gift of nature makes everyone so happy.

Cut the green peppers into cubes, crush the green peppercorns and set aside.

When the rapeseed oil in the pot is hot, put the prepared egg mixture and fry it, and then put the chili peppercorns. Stir-fry the aroma of chili peppercorns, then bring water to a boil. When the water boils, put in the cockfighter. Boil the water again and add salt to taste.

Xiaoqing served the boiled cockfighting soup in a large bowl. The milky white soup is rich and fragrant, and it is a pleasure to watch and smell with golden scrambled eggs, green diced chili peppers, and yellow-brown fighting cocks.

Bring water to a boil and cook the noodles. Boiled noodles are scooped up and served with boiled cockfighting broth. There is no need to add other seasonings, and a bowl of fighting egg noodles is ready.

"Sister, it's so delicious." Little Tintin sucked on the noodles, trying to keep the delicious taste of the cockfighting in his mouth for a little longer.

"Xiaoqing, your skills are really good, in the future, whoever marries you will be blessed." Wang Silin also praised Xiaoqing.

"Sister, what you make is better than what your mother makes."

"If it's delicious, eat more."

"Xiaoqing, Xiaoding, do you know why this mushroom is called a fighting?" Wang Silin asked the children.

"I don't know, grandpa, tell us quickly." Little Tintin shook his grandfather's hand.

"That's because the cockfighting tastes delicious and beats the chicken. As soon as the cockfighting came out, people didn't even eat the chicken. So even the fighting was defeated by it, and everyone called it the fighting. ”

Little Tintin hung his head and made the appearance of a defeated rooster. Everyone laughed happily.

Xiaoqing is especially happy, the family has never been so happy. Mom is not at home, she can also make the home full of joy.
