Xia Mei felt that at this moment, her heart was like the tender meat in the mussel shell, soft and soft, torn hard.

patted each other's back comfortingly, and through the broad shoulders, the slightly desolate scenery in the distance was reflected in the bottom of his eyes, as if he was also sighing slightly.

The wide mountains and rivers silently accommodate this pair of young men and women who comfort each other.

On the way back, it was not as heavy as expected, but let go of her worries, and her whole body was much more relaxed, Wu Song pulled her to go around the nearby woods, and checked the traps she had laid by the way.

Walking near the trap, Wu Song asked Xia Mei to stand in place and wait, and went over to check it himself.

Then Xia Mei saw him squatting down, removing the camouflage branch that obviously had a hole around the trap, and scooping it down with his big hand, and there was a fat rabbit in his hand.

Suddenly smiled, ran over in small steps, squatted down and looked at the fat rabbit, Xia Mei smiled: "Greedy guy, you still run out on such a cold day, you deserve to be caught!" ”

Wu Song took off the pocket around his waist, put the rabbit in it, and then filled the trap with a few large stones.

Xia Mei was puzzled, "Husband, can't this trap be used?" ”

Wu Song chuckled and explained, "Traps that have been used once cannot be used a second time, because there is no effect, and animals are also sensible, and they can detect the warnings of other creatures." ”

Xia Mei nodded as if she didn't understand, and in a blink of an eye, she threw away her thoughts and began to think about how to eat the rabbit.

Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water, Xia Mei has no burden at all for eating this cute little animal, didn't someone say it? Only when material satisfaction is achieved, will people pursue spiritual satisfaction.

Xia Mei felt that she had not yet reached the time to satisfy her spirits.

The two went down the mountain hand in hand, and Wu Song also picked some herbs on the way, and his reliable appearance made Xia Mei smile and squint, such a down-to-earth man is his own, it's good.

When I returned home, the sun had already set on the mountain, and a thin layer of sunset color dyed the village with warm colors. With endless joy and joy.

"Liu Quan, why don't you sleep more? I have to stay up late at night! ”

When he walked into the courtyard, he saw Liu Quan squatting in front of Da Hei, holding a boiled bone in his hand.

Hear the sound of them returning. Only then did he stand up and smile: "I slept for two hours!" If you go to bed again, you won't be able to make it to dinner! ”

Xia Mei smiled without saying a word, glanced at the bone in his hand, glanced at Da Hei who didn't move, raised her eyebrows and asked, "What are you......?" Want to feed bones to Big Black?! ”

Liu Quan didn't notice the strangeness in Xia Mei's voice. Touching his head, he said strangely: "Yes, I don't think it looked like it had eaten, so I took a bone, but I don't know why, it seems to be ...... If you don't want to eat it, is it sick? ”

Xia Mei pursed her lips, hesitating how to tell him the truth.

At this moment, as if sensing the darkness of Xia Mei's thoughts, she woke up slowly, and slowly got up to reveal the kennel behind her. Digging and digging out of it, he took out half a bloody rabbit and began to eat it in a big gulp.

Liu Quan, Xia Mei: "......"

A trace of irritability crossed Wu Song's eyes, "Big black!" I said don't take it home! ”

In response to the crisp sound of his free big black biting bones, Liu Quan heard a toothache.

smiled awkwardly, and said in a strange tone: "Mrs. Xia...... Your dog is really ...... It's a personality......"

Don't eat boiled bones, but eat the original, bloody animal, this taste. I have to praise it:

Domineering!

Liu Quan, who resolutely refused to admit that he was disgusted by a dog, turned around and entered the house with a strong back, but the steps under his feet felt a little stumbling no matter how he looked at it.

Wen Hao was in the house. Looking at the big bow full of tension hanging on the wall, his eyes flashed with a complicated light.

Xia Mei turned around and smiled softly at Wu Song, a tacit understanding was self-evident, and then went into the kitchen and began to prepare dinner.

Wu Song was in a very good mood, just look at the faint smile on his face all the time.

Walk inside. found that Liu Quan was bored flipping through Tang Bao's homework, while Wen Hao was staring at the wall in a daze, and when he saw him coming in, he turned his head suddenly.

As if having made a decision, Wen Hao walked over and whispered, "Brother Wu, I have something to say to you." ”

Wu Song glanced at the wall, a trace of clarity crossed his eyes, and said lightly: "Let's talk about it in the evening." ”

With an unacceptable tone, Wen Hao's eyes darkened, and he lowered his head and retreated.

Xia Mei took the dough and looked at it, poked it with her finger, and the dough bounced back well.

Well, it's a good post.

As soon as I started kneading the dough, the voices of the two sisters Wen Xi and Yunni came outside, and the laughter carried the unique vitality of the girl, which made people feel better unconsciously when they listened to it.

Xia Mei raised a faint smile on her face, turned back to the two people who walked into the kitchen and said, "Are you back?" Are Aunt Chen and Xinghua okay? ”

Wen Xi still had a happy smile on his face, and rushed to say at the moment: "Okay!" When we passed, we saw that my aunt was still wearing new clothes! ”

Xia Mei smiled angrily: "Look at what you said, my aunt has made money this year, of course she straightens her waist, speaking of which, Xinghua should say kiss." ”

After speaking, Xia Mei reacted and immediately changed her words: "Oh, look at me, you are still girls, how can I tell you about this?!" ”

Yunni teased: "Sister Xia Mei, what are you afraid of, there are no outsiders in this house, it's Sister Wenxi, I'm afraid I'm going to be very ashamed!" ”

Who expected Wen Xi to be unconvinced at the moment, "Sister Yunni is not right, I am still young, and the Xu family will have a few more years!" It's Sister Yunni, who has reached the age of having a sweetheart! ”

Hearing this, Yunni's face turned red, and she was about to make a gesture to hit Wen Xi, but Wen Xi ran away with a smile, Xia Mei laughed, "Look at Wen Xi, you can really see it clearly!" Do you know what is the age of a sweetheart? Could it be that when you arrive at Yunni, you will have a sweetheart?! ”

Wen Xi, who was asked rhetorically, couldn't speak, so he had to pretend to be stupid and smile at Yun Ni flatteringly.

The three of them who had been making trouble for a while began to work again in a blink of an eye, Yunni and Wen Xi picked vegetables and washed vegetables very quickly, and the cabbage in the field became more and more sweet and crisp after the frost, and it was the best to make dumplings.

Wash and chop the cabbage, chop the green onions, and cut the slightly browned tofu into cubes. Put it in, and finally put in the minced pork, this meat is the best pork rump meat Xia Mei picked, with a lot of lean meat. Best for dumpling fillings.

Beat an egg, add the egg whites, add some salt, pepper, some vinegar. Mix well, and tonight's dumpling filling is ready.

Xia Mei thought that anyway, the weather was cold, and things wouldn't be bad if they were left for a day or two, so the dumplings were filled with a small pot, enough for them to eat for two days!

After making the dumpling filling, he began to make dumplings, and entered the eating room with the filling and flour dough, and the stove prepared by Wu Song was placed in the room, and the charcoal was blazing, and the room was exceptionally warm.

"Wow! Do you want to eat dumplings again?! Tang Bao also wants to pack! ”

Tang Bao, who was playing with Liu Quan next to him, saw this. immediately abandoned Liu Quan and threw himself at the dough in Xia Mei's hand.

Thinking about today's New Year, he didn't care about Tang Bao's naughtiness, so Xia Mei followed his wishes and took him to wash his hands.

Wu Song and the others looked at this posture and knew that it was time to make dumplings, so they all consciously washed their hands, and came back or stood or sat around the table to make dumplings together.

Xia Mei didn't have time to accompany Tang Bao to mess around, so she asked Wen Xi to take him. He was wrapping dumplings with very fast hands, and Liu Quan smacked his tongue slightly when he saw it.

"Mrs. Xia...... You're too fast, aren't you?! ”

Xia Mei glanced at him and smiled without saying a word. The movements in his hands did not stop for half a minute.

After wrapping for a while, Xia Mei rolled out the dough again, rolled out some and continued to wrap.

The wrapped dumplings are placed on the big dustpan on the side, and the dumplings are white and chubby, with different shapes and obvious characteristics of each person.

The shape of the summer plum bag is the best. Even and full, it will not be scattered, Wu Song's is not much worse, it can be seen that the years of singleness, the days have not passed, Wen Hao's should be calmer, the filling is not more, the dumplings are also regular, Yunni's is smaller, Wenxi's dumplings are the most exquisite, the filling is less, and the dough is like a flower.

Liu Quan's dumplings have only one feature, that is, they are filling, and a round dumpling skin is almost broken, as if it is the fat man in the dumplings.

There is also Tang Bao's, which is also wrapped with a lot of filling, but his hands are small, he can't wrap it, and he can't pinch it tightly, and it always spreads, which makes him very entangled.

Half of the wrapping, Xia Mei patted her head, "Oops, I forgot!" ”

Ignoring everyone's puzzled eyes, he quickly turned around and went out, and came back after a while with a big bowl in his hand, and when he looked over, he found that it contained cleaned copper coins and jujubes.

Wen Xi laughed out loud, "Didn't you forget, fortunately, Master remembered!" ”

Everyone laughed, put the bowl in the middle, and occasionally stuffed a copper coin into their dumplings, hoping to please them.

After wrapping it for a while, seeing that there was not much stuffing in the basin, Xia Mei said, "You wrap the rest, I'll go get the rabbit I got back today." ”

She suddenly thought of a wonderful snack, and it was really excellent to accompany the vigil tonight.

The number of people is the strength of the people, and in less than an hour, the small half pot of dumpling filling will be finished.

Xia Mei in the kitchen, the rabbit is also nearing the end.

Pour in a little soy sauce and sugar, the rabbit in the pot is bubbling with a fragrant color, the burnt yellow appearance is full of points, this floating fragrance has attracted a large number of people to come to watch, and the kitchen is suddenly full.

"Wow, Mrs. Xia, what are you doing here? It's delicious! ”

Liu Quan looked at the rabbit in the pot, there were a lot of chili peppers and peppercorns, the smell had been stimulating the salivary glands, and he kept swallowing saliva.

Xia Mei didn't answer, she looked at it almost, finished collecting the juice, put the rabbit up and put it aside, and waited for it to cool down naturally.

That's right, it's a famous snack in the previous life, cold rabbit.

This thing is not troublesome to make, but it is not simple, today is in a hurry, Xia Mei only did it once, and even Wu Song saw it for the first time.

After making the rabbits, drive out this group of salivating people, leave Wen Xi to help light the fire, and start cooking dumplings.

In two quarters of an hour, the dumplings came out of the pot, the steaming heat from the pot made the candle flame sway, carefully scooped up the dumplings in the pot, served them on the table, and began to eat dinner.

It was another lively dinner, and from time to time there were exclamations, some bites the hard copper coins, and some bite the seedless jujubes, with extremely happy expressions on their faces.

Tang Bao was the happiest, because he had eaten five copper coins, carefully wiped the handkerchief clean, put it in his purse, and did not forget to pat it.

Tang Bao, who has been saving private money since he was a child, will grow up in the future and want to be a good housekeeper.

The dumplings for dinner, because there were many bags and a lot of cooking, everyone ate a rolling melon ball, Wu Song stood up and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, let Xia Mei, who had been busy all day, rest for a while, and went to the kitchen to clean up the pots and bowls.

Wen Xi whispered to Yunni: "Master is good to Master...... Shigong is a good man! ”

Yunni glanced at her and said with a smile: "Sister Wenxi, where did you get these insights, as if you have seen many bad men." ”

Wen Xi saw Xia Mei pulling Tang Bao to eat in the yard, so he whispered to Yunni: "Huang Ying before, her cousin was a bad man, deceived Huang Ying's innocence, and finally disappeared again. ”

Yun Ni nodded Wen Xi's head, and scolded helplessly: "You, you, always think about these things, be careful that I sue Sister Sù Xia Mei, let her promise you early!" ”

Wen Xi's face changed, and he hurriedly confessed, pulling Yunni's sleeve for a while.

Xia Mei, who was in the yard, took Tang Bao around a few times, but she couldn't stand the cold and returned to the house again.

Put the fruits, sugar bars, and snacks they bought before on the table, and put them on the hot kang, Wen Xi and Yunni took Tang Bao to sit on the kang, and Liu Quan and them sat at the table, eating, drinking, chatting and laughing.

Wu Song cleaned up the pots and pans and came back, added some carbon to the brazier in the house, and held the basin where Xia Mei made rabbits in his hand.

When Xia Mei saw it, she exclaimed, "Ah! I forgot! Come and try it and see if it tastes good! ”

Hearing this, everyone leaned over, looking at this red and bright pot, the color is bright, and the taste is extremely attractive, and they swallow saliva unconsciously.

But......

"Mrs. Xia, these chili peppers and peppercorns...... Isn't it too much? ”

Liu Quan asked weakly, Xia Mei raised her eyebrows and smiled, and said with a somewhat mysterious smile: "You will know if you taste it." ”

As a loyal fan of the lady, Wu Song was the first to pick up a piece of chopsticks and put it in front of his eyes to take a look, and the oil on the rabbit could still be seen under the dim candlelight.

Under the expectant gaze of everyone, put it in your mouth and savor it.

Not...... The taste is not as smooth and tender as the rabbit I used to eat, this bite is relatively hard, very chewy, a small piece, but the flavor is very full, and the mouth is full of spicy taste.

It makes people unconsciously want to eat the second piece after eating.

"Well, it's delicious."

Wu Song, who came to this conclusion, continued to eat a piece, and everyone also began to move chopsticks, and Xia Mei also happily ate a small piece.

"Hmm...... Familiar taste ......"

Xia Mei, who squinted and was nostalgic, didn't notice the amazing eyes of others, and for a while, no one in the room spoke, and everyone was busy eating.
