Chapter 23: The Feast

If a person lacks ambition, then he must put his mind on other things, in the eyes of some people, it is called "not doing business", in Zhou Yi's view, it is to enjoy life.

Of course, this kind of enjoyment is on the premise of having enough ability, and the premise of not needing to run for life, otherwise, it is really not a proper job.

People who like to enjoy are only fiddling with four things, "food, housing, clothing and transportation".

A eating word should be put in the first place.

The new house was first established, this was the first meal, and it was also the first dinner banquet for Zhou Yi this year.

A steamed egg, with several kinds of mushrooms cultivated in the space, boiled for several hours, filtered out of the soup, cooled, and then mixed with egg liquid, put on the pot to steam; But looking at the face, except for the tender yellow, there is no difference from the ones sold on the street, but if you really want to say the difference, only those who have eaten it will know.

Bacon is a famous dish in this place, and it is hard to ask for bacon in the farmhouse for a year.

After a year of smoking, the black bacon is scrubbed clean, gently sliced, and sliced, with a transparent yellowish amber-like lipid on the outside, and a thin thin piece of dark red with fine pores inside. It is said to be lean meat, but it has been smoked for a long time, and it has smoked out tiny holes and is stuffed with moisturizing oil; It is said to be fatty meat, but after a long day of smoking, most of the fat inside has already been smoked, which is fine and clear, and the blade will melt away like a slippery one, and it will never be greasy.

The fish is smoked wild herring, the best meat is selected, cut into sections, fried in light oil, and stir-fried with homemade chili powder.

Zhou Yi doesn't like to eat fish skin, at least he doesn't like to eat such a smooth and greasy fish skin, but there are many people who like to eat fish skin. He didn't waste it, he carefully slid the slippery fish skin down, placed it at the bottom of the plate, and then put the fish on top of it, and drizzled it with the last soup.

When a banquet is held in this place, there are generally three bowls that cannot be separated.

A bowl of "fat meat", that is, the piece on the thigh of the pig, with the belt meat cut, salted, steamed or boiled - as long as it is a whole piece, it looks generous.

This meat is easy to make, now the fat meat with the skin down for a period of time, and then flip it over, the skin and flesh side up, cook until you can easily insert half of the chopsticks for it, and it is done.

When eating, at the feast, in front of everyone's eyes, cut the meat with a knife, and watch the bulging hot aroma come out, and eat as much as you like.

A large bowl of chicken, best stir-fried with local fiery dried chilies.

As soon as a bowl of oily, spicy, and red chili chicken is served, the door is full of red and hot food, so lively!

Finally, a bowl of moist pork belly soup is indispensable. If you get married, add "early (jujube) and expensive (gui)" to stew hard; If you give birth to a child, add a few red-dyed tiger skin eggs; As for building a new house, it depends on how it comes.

In addition to these few troublesome dishes, the others are more casual, and it is easy to stir-fry a few greens and pickles at will, or make a soup and make a fish.

When the two tables of more than 20 people sat down in the courtyard, a plate of dishes came up like flowing water.

Eat one by one, that's called a mouth full of oil.

Mo Ti Zhou Yi bothered to make a few meat dishes, that is, those few plates of vegetarian dishes, almost let a few children pinch up, chopsticks and vegetables in the air flew around, the soup was the same color as chicken, only half of it entered the mouth, and the other half was all sprinkled on the table, and it was also a loss to Zhou Yi who hurriedly promised to add vegetables, coupled with the dissuasion of the surrounding adults, so he gave up a little, but he still inevitably kicked his nose and stared.

The youngest boy in Zhou Dahu's family, who was only a few years old, was so happy to eat.

He didn't eat anything, just staring at a steamed egg when everyone wasn't paying attention.

Soon, the food in his mouth was discovered by his foodie sister, who claimed to "eat everything".

The warm and tender yellow steamed eggs are extremely inconspicuous in the dishes of big fish and meat, big green and red on this table, and everyone who is attracted by many good dishes and coriander does not put this dish in their eyes, only Xiao Zhou Hao, who has tasted the taste, puts it at the tip of his heart.

"Why do you only eat this one dish?" Zhou Ying filled her stomach a little before she had the heart to care about her little brother.

Xiao Zhou Hao's small eyes rolled, licked the egg paste on the side of his mouth, and said childishly: "I can't rob you, I can only eat this egg......" seemed to look pitiful.

Zhou Ying was unmoved.

She didn't really care about her little brother, she just thought it was strange - his younger brother was the most favored because of the old uncle and aunt of the Zhou family, and he couldn't afford to suffer, why did he sit here for so long today, no one served him vegetables, no one fed him, and it was so quiet?

She looked at Xiao Zhou Hao, and with a little confusion, she stretched out her "claws" to the bowl of steamed eggs.

Zhou Ying's outstretched demon claws had not yet achieved their purpose, and they were immediately isolated by a childish little hand.

A villain who was white and still had egg-colored traces on his face hugged the seemingly ordinary steamed egg with a hard hand, and loudly declared his sovereignty, "Mine! ”

His small eyes stared at Zhou Ying tightly as if he had seen a natural enemy, just in case.

"Okay, you have it. Such a big bowl, you eat it by yourself. Zhou Ying's voice was not loud or small, just enough for the people around her to hear.

This movement also attracted the attention of the adults at the other table.

"Zhou Ying, you are going to die! Don't care about your brother when you eat! The aunt of the Zhou family first scolded Zhou Ying a few times, and when she saw that the people around her were watching, she also felt that her youngest son was not behaving well, and she criticized Xiao Zhou Hao again.

Such a patriarchal approach is used to it in such villages and towns, and even Zhou Ying is used to it.

She always fought back in her own way.

For example, now, she is proudly picking up the tender steamed eggs with a small spoon, and then carefully putting the tender eggs in her mouth under the sad eyes of her younger brother.

Before she could continue to be proud, a strange fragrance exploded on the tip of her tongue, catching her off guard!

This fresh fragrance comes and goes quickly, with the egg liquid slipping, slowly passing, only in the nose, leaving a faint aftertaste, is the sky of meteors, dazzling, shocking, but extremely fast.

Perhaps it is this kind of rare short dazzle that can give people a strong shock!

The people around also took a fancy to Zhou Ying's expression, saw the laughter of the sister and brother, and couldn't help but stretch the spoon to the bowl of steamed eggs curiously......

When Zhou Ying stretched out the spoon to the egg again, the bowl was already empty......

Xiao Zhou Hao looked at the egg powder that he saw in a blink of an eye, and wanted to cry and cry, and screamed loudly, it was really "sad for those who heard it, and cried for those who saw it".

The little sister-in-law of the Zhou family hurriedly ran over, glared at Zhou Ying fiercely, and hugged her son expressionlessly, coaxing for a while.

Xiao Zhou Hao can't eat anything else, he must eat steamed eggs, otherwise he will "cry to you"!

The aunt of the Zhou family couldn't help it, she thought that no one seemed to have eaten the steamed eggs on the other table, so she hugged her little son over......

No one knew what was going on, only the sneering faces of a few uncles, followed by a burst of miserable crying......
