Chapter 52: Lao Chai's Chicken
Breezy.
The firewood in the stone stove was vigorous, and the aroma of medicinal herbs and dog meat slowly overflowed from the large iron pot where the dog meat was stewed, and the flame hunted in the half-human-high earthen nest next to it, constantly roasting the clods of soil on it. As the flame burns, the clods turn from yellow to red, then from red to black, and slowly turn gray.
Yaya had enough kites, and sat next to Cai Hongming with her aunt and watched him cook dog meat, her little face flushed with the flames in the stove.
The burst of fragrance wafted in, and the little guy's saliva flowed, and he couldn't help asking, "Uncle, when can I eat, I'm hungry." ”
"Just wait a little longer, if you're hungry, Uncle will bring you some bread to eat." When Cai Hongming came over, he specially brought some bread and water, so as not to be hungry on the road and have nothing to eat.
"No, I'm going to eat meat." Yaya shook her head.
Cai Hongming glanced at her fat body, and said in his heart, no wonder he was so fat.
Shi Wan'er hugged Yaya and watched Cai Hongming burn the fire, feeling that this picture was very warm, like squatting in the firewood room at home when I was a child and watching my grandmother burn the fire, there was a feeling of home. Thinking about it, her face couldn't help but turn red, and she thought to herself, what the hell was she thinking?
"Wan'er, do you dare to eat dog meat?" Cai Hongming asked Shi Wan'er on the side.
He didn't dare to call the fat woman anymore, for fear that she would be angry. He wondered, why couldn't he call a name when he was a child? Is it because it has become pretty? He became handsome, and others called him a black-faced boy, but he didn't say anything.
"What don't you dare." Shi Wan'er gave him a blank look and said.
If you dare to eat it, he is afraid that she will not dare to eat dog meat after a while, and watch people drool.
The firewood continued to burn.
In a few moments, the clods on the mould were almost burned. Xi Weifeng pulled some of the charcoal inside to the stove, then put a tightly wrapped thing in it, covered it with coals, and then blocked the stove, and then used a branch to remove some soil clods on the soil nest, leaving a hole, ready to put something.
Cai Hongming saw it, then walked over with the sweet potatoes he brought, and said, "Wait a while, eat potatoes with potatoes!" ”
The words speak for themselves, telling him not to eat the sweet potatoes he brought.
"Who likes your stuff, I brought something delicious today?" Xi Weifeng is not uncommon.
"What's good?" Cai Hongming asked.
"Lao Chai's chicken."
"Oh"
The old Chai family in the town is a professional chicken farmer, his chickens are different, and the feed is called the keyhole of the elixir, so the chicken faintly has the taste and medicinal properties of the keyhole herbs, not only to eat, but also to replenish the body. In the town, his family's chicken sales are the best, and it can be said that the supply exceeds the demand. I didn't expect Xi Weifeng to get one today, but what is the use of one, there are seven or eight people who came today, and none of them can eat a piece of meat.
After a while, the potatoes and sweet potatoes that had been brought with me were put into the nest.
Cai Hongming and Xi Weifeng hurriedly picked up the sticks next to them and pushed the clods of soil that were about to crumble on the soil nest inside, and then smashed the potatoes and sweet potatoes covering it one by one. Once you've made it, you're waiting to eat it.
This time, the one who came out for a picnic with them was also the medicinal herb merchant that Xi Weifeng said last time, a fat man Ruan Tianxuan who came all the way from Jiangnan.
Ruan Tianxuan saw that Xi Weifeng was interested in cooperating with the medicinal herb business, so he came to inspect it, and he was always at ease if he didn't see some things in person. So there is today's picnic, and after eating, Xi Weifeng also plans to take him to dig keyholes and see the desert specialties and scenery.
After estimating the time, they felt that the potatoes and sweet potatoes were almost ripe, so Cai Hongming and Xi Weifeng picked up the branches next to them and dug them up.
The potatoes and sweet potatoes inside have been burned to the ground and the ashes inside are suffocated, so be careful when digging so as not to damage the contents.
Ruan Tianxuan was also interested when he saw it, so he took a branch from the side and dug it up, who knew that he was too hard, and he punctured the potatoes inside at once.
"Fat brother, be careful. Dig this thing with the same gentleness as a woman, not too rude, or you won't end up digging up a good potato. Xi Weifeng looked at it and said.
Ruan Tianxuan nodded instructively, and his movements were much gentle.
Cai Hongming next to him heard it but ridiculed: "Your thoughts are really dirty, even this can involve women." ”
"Why can't it, the truth is the same in the world."
Cai Hongming was too lazy to talk to him, so he continued to dig, and soon dug up a sweet potato, pinched it, it was very soft, and it looked ripe, so he gave it to the girl next to him who was already waiting for it and couldn't wait to eat it. The sweet potatoes that had just come out of the nest were still very hot, so Shi Wan'er took over and peeled them off and fed her, and the little guy smiled when she ate them.
Xi Weifeng also dug out a few, casually distributed them to the people waiting next to him, and then took one himself, peeled it and ate it.
Cai Hongming looked at it and said, "What do you eat, eat it after digging." ”
"You dig first, I'll eat one to satisfy my cravings."
What is so delicious about tasteless potatoes, Cai Hongming didn't bother to pay attention to this product, and continued to dig up.
After a while, all the contents were dug out and placed on the folding table that had been brought. Everyone made a bowl of dog meat, while eating potatoes and sweet potatoes, tearing chicken, and eating roasted naan bought from the old man from the town. The chicken was eaten first, and everyone was a little unsatisfied.
"There are so few chickens, you should buy a few more." Cai Hongming said.
"Old man Chai's chickens have been sold out, and now this batch has not yet reached the time to get out of the nest, I will buy it and he will not sell it at all, or his son caught one, otherwise you want to eat chicken, and there are no chicken feathers."
"You can still hang yourself on a tree even if you are alive, and if his family is gone, go to another house, and the desert chicken taste of Lao Lin's family can also be."
"It's far away, fat brother, do you say it?"
"I don't know if I haven't eaten it, but this chicken tastes really good, buy a few for me when I go back."
"When the time comes, Old Man Chai has a strange temper, and he won't sell chickens until he gets out of the nest."
After eating, the group took a break and drove to the next destination.
This time he took Shi Wan'er out, Cai Hongming specially rented an off-road vehicle, five hundred a day, the fuel cost is at his own expense, and it is very expensive, but this is the price of a good car, and there are two or three hundred differences, but that kind of car is not sitting.
After driving for about an hour, I arrived near the beach river. It is not far from the county seat, after the sand control, there are clusters of plants growing on the yellow sand, such as white thorns, stinging grass, camel thorns, etc., and the probability of finding Suoyang here will be much higher than that of other places.
