It was already more than ten o'clock after Zhou Yu returned home, and he helped his mother carefully pick the mountain mazar again, and then blanched it with water and soaked it in cold water.

People in the northeastern mountain villages still eat pork fat, using the fat fat on the pig to rely on the oil, when the fat of the fat is exhausted, the remaining meat residue tastes crispy, fragrant but not greasy.

The industrious women will wrap these oil residues in plastic bags and seal them, and when they want to eat vegetable dumplings and vegetable cakes in the future, they can take them out and stuff them, the taste is quite unique, and it is also a rare delicacy for the people of Zhoujia Village who do not see meat in ordinary days.

After an hour, the stuffing and budding rice noodles were reconciled, Zhou Yu went to the cellar under the instructions of his mother to take out some sweet potatoes and potatoes, washed them with water a few times, and then put them in the big pot that had been brushed and added water, and then put the pot ring on and began to burn the fire (put the pot ring to prevent the vegetable cakes from falling into the pot without sticking).

Due to the long time it takes when steaming steamed buns or stewed vegetable cakes, and at the same time, in order to save trouble, some sweet potatoes are generally brought with it, and the rest is used to feed the pigs in addition to human eating.

In this way, Zhou Yu lit the fire, and his mother Wang Guilan skillfully wrapped the vegetable cakes and then pasted them into the pot, and after a while, the big iron pot was covered all over the place, and Zhou Yu put the lid on the pot to increase the intensity of the fire.

Wang Guilan was not idle at this time, and was busy working under another smaller pot stove (the outhouse, that is, the kitchen, in the countryside, generally has two stoves, one large and one small, so it is more convenient to eat). Wang Guilan, who knows that his son likes sorghum rice in the morning, is boiling over high heat, and the sorghum rice is cooked after seven or eight minutes of cooking, and after taking it out, add sweet spring water to the basin, so that the sorghum rice is ready.

After the vegetable cake is cooked, it needs to be simmered in a large pot for a while, at this time, Zhou Yu picked up some small wild garlic and washed it with water and kept it for noon dipping sauce to eat.

Zhou Dingguo was not at home in the morning, but went to stand guard in the courtyard in front of the village committee instead of his son. Since there is no vacant space at the gate of the house, the purchase location of the mountain goods today has been changed to the yard.

The yard in front of the village committee is very wide, at least about ten acres of land, although it is also muddy land, but it has been suppressed countless times by the villagers with grinders, hammers, etc., so the foundation is very compact, and the ground is also very smooth. After the autumn harvest, the villagers dry millet and beat soybeans here.

Seeing that his father was back, Zhou Yu, who was chopping wild vegetables in the yard and preparing to feed the chickens and ducks, greeted him, "Dad, did anyone come to deliver mountain goods this morning?" ”

Zhou Dingguo nodded and then shook his head again, and said with some confusion: "Yes, there are, but there are only a few households, all of which were sent in a hurry in the morning because there was no one in the village yesterday." But the people of Dawangzhuang and Xiaowangzhuang have not even seen a shadow of a person until now, this thing is full of evil nature, I heard your third uncle say that the person who sent the letter before dawn this morning set off, how many of them should be able to get to our village? Something can't be wrong, right? ”

After finishing speaking, he probably felt that he was thinking too much, Zhou Dingguo glanced into the house, saw the old woman sweeping the floor in the house, and then whispered: "Xiaoyu, you said that people don't think that you, a second-class dealer, will take kickbacks in the middle and not come?" ”

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly, this father is simply a genius, and he can think of such a lame reason, doesn't he just want to bury his uncle?

To be honest, this pair of brother-in-law and brother-in-law are also fucked up enough, thinking about pressing each other all day long. The cause of the incident is that the uncle came to the house not long after the parents got married, both of them were straight-tempered, and the wine was too much to drink, and the father couldn't drink the uncle and was buried by the uncle, and there was a sentence that now seems to be more classic, at that time the uncle drunkenly said to the father: "Brother-in-law, my sister is really blind to my sister when she marries you." ”

Since then, the two of them are not convinced by anyone, as soon as they meet, they pinch each other, dig pits to make the stumbling block do everything, fortunately, the mother's affection is put on both sides, and the word is placed in the middle, each time it is fifty boards on both sides, so over the years, the two are considered chess opponents will meet good talents, and they can fight a draw.

However, the uncle's family is really good to him, and the grandfather will forget it, but the uncle and aunt also regard themselves as their own sons, which is definitely rarer than their own parents.

I remember when I was a child, Zhou Yu went into the mountain to see his uncle, and the old man who looked like five big and three thick was stunned and hugged Xiao Zhou Yu and kissed him for ten minutes, kissing his face and buttocks, and finally said to Xiao Zhou Yu: "Xiao Yu, if someone bullies you in the future, you will tell your uncle, if it is a man, your uncle will incite him, if it is a woman~~mm~~, you still fanned yourself, don't say that I am your uncle, I can't afford to lose this person!" ”

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu smiled knowingly, Lao Tzu is a good Lao Tzu, and his uncle is a good uncle, although the two of them are not so strong now, but no one is willing to go down because of the situation, it seems that only he can carry this burden.

Looking at his father's teasing expression, Zhou Yu smiled and said: "Dad, the price I gave is not low, the people of Xiaowangzhuang must have something to do and can't come for the time being, let's eat first, I think they should be able to come in the afternoon, and besides, isn't my uncle still over there as the village party secretary?" Although I don't know that I am buying, I believe that he still has this eyesight. ”

"Your uncle, your uncle, your uncle, you kid can't forget that I'm still your son! However, Wang Zhijiang's kid should really have this bit of eyesight. ”

Zhou Yu held back a smile in his heart, his father was obviously concerned about his uncle, but his mouth was still quite tough.

The two men washed their hands and wiped their faces, and sat down at the table under the grape trellis, where the meal was already set. A small pot of golden vegetable cakes, a small pot of fresh and cool sorghum rice rice, and a large bowl of bright wild garlic, green shallots and green cucumbers, next to a small bowl of home-brewed sauce.

Delicious said that everything in front of him was superfluous, Zhou Yu picked up a vegetable cake and began to mouth. I have to say that my mother's vegetable cake is absolutely a must, the crust is particularly thin, and the fresh fragrance of wild vegetables and the sweet fragrance of bud rice immediately permeate the mouth after a bite, making people can't help but want to take a bite, just three or two Zhou Yu eliminated a big vegetable cake.

The mother was afraid that her son would choke, so she hurriedly filled a bowl of sorghum rice and brought it to her son, and Zhou Yu took a big bite of the bowl and "purred". Sorghum rice soaked in mountain spring water is delicious and thirst-quenching. The sorghum rice was cooked just right by my mother, and it tasted soft but chewy, and it was refreshing to my heart after taking a sip.

In this way, eating vegetable cakes, drinking sorghum rice rice, and dipping pickles, Zhou Yu alone eliminated three vegetable cakes and two bowls of rice.

When he was about to pick up the fourth vegetable cake, he was kicked by his father, and Zhou Dingguo said: "Xiaoyu, Dad never knew that you could eat so much, I and your mother haven't finished eating this one, you have already eaten three, it's okay for young people to eat more, but you can't eat like this, right?" Beware of spoiling your appetite. Alas, if our family had a pig like you, we wouldn't have to pay for it? Haha ”

Mother Wang Guilan couldn't help laughing, and persuaded her son not to eat, and to eat the rest of the night. Originally, Zhou Yu was already full, but he couldn't help but have a delicious pancake, his appetite was full, but he couldn't help his eyes to be greedy!
