Chapter 32 Cooking and Drinking

Xiao Zheng saw Jin'er busy chopping wood and burning the fire by the stove, although her forehead was a little sweaty by the stove on a cold day, she stretched out her hand to wipe the sweat on her forehead, Jin'er only moved a little and didn't speak, and lowered her head to let Xiao Zheng wipe the sweat. When the pot was opened, the gauze bag wrapped in spices was thrown into the pot, and after a while, the fragrance of star anise cinnamon accompanied by the thick aroma of meat slowly drifted out of the kitchen.

Everyone saw that Xiao Zheng's meat was so fragrant, including Xiao Mu's mother and Jin'er's eyes were a little different, and they really couldn't understand that Xiao Zheng hadn't been in the kitchen for a day since he came here, and he didn't know where he got this method to stew meat so delicious. Fortunately, Mr., Xiao Hai and a few people had a tendency to saliva after smelling it, if it weren't for being at someone else's house, they would have run to the kitchen to see, and they all went back and forth like hungry wolves at the kitchen door several times!

The meat was cooked, and there were two large pots full of it, Xiao Zheng asked Jin'er to fill half a pot of hot water and put a few jars of wine into the pot to warm it, and the wine seal was slapped open, and the aroma of roe deer meat and wine with oil flowers permeated the room to make people appetizing. Mr. raised his nose and sniffed it and said to Xiao Zheng with a smile: "The old man has seen the use of cloves, cinnamon, and star anise in medicine, but in turn, you have set a precedent for cooking meat with medicine, but if you do it like this, this meat is indeed much more fragrant than the original, it seems that you have used the right method again, no matter what, everyone will eat and drink it today first."

Listening to Mr. picked up the chopsticks and spoke, Xiao Hai, who couldn't wait, picked up a piece of the largest meat and threw it directly into his mouth, this product is not afraid of being hot, and then look at the image of the other people in Ershunzi is not much better, Xiao Hai even ate five or six pieces of meat, before he picked up the bowl and toasted Mr., a big bowl of wine went down the stomach, and stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth, chewed for a while and swallowed his stomach, sighed and said: "Damn, people in their thirties, they have eaten a lot of meat, and the previous meat was eaten by dogs, Today, I found out that this meat is eaten in this way."

Jin'er laughed out loud when she heard Xiao Hai say this, and hurriedly walked to the kitchen after being glared at by Mr., Xiao Hai smiled when he saw this and said: "I ate this meat cooked by Brother Xiao today, this is really the first time I have tasted the aroma of meat in my life, come, my brother respects you a bowl", after speaking, he picked up the wine bowl and drank Xiao Zheng touched his head and drank it, with the experience of drinking last time, Xiao Zheng was also without fear and drank it all at once, and several men saw this and began to take turns to salute Xiao Zheng, Xiao Zheng did not speak after seeing the bowl to the dry wine, Sometimes I eat one or two pieces of meat in the middle, and I am a little excited to eat it in my mouth, I have been in Datang for so long, and everything I eat all day long is boiled and then salted, this time I have the opportunity to cook and fry a dish by myself, and the food I cook is delicious! Besides, Xiao Zheng was originally an expert in food! How bad can the taste of your own meat be?

Mr. watched a few people take turns to toast Xiao Zheng and didn't speak with a smile, eating and drinking for more than half an hour, five or six jars of wine came to the bottom, Zheng just felt a fever all over his body, his body was slightly sweating, but his mind was extremely sober. In the end, Xiao Hai and a few people were a little unbearable, Xiao Hai said to Xiao Xiao Zheng with a roll of his tongue: "Brother Xiao, my brother can't stand you today, the first time you drank with a few of our brothers, I saw that you were fine, so I was not satisfied with your amount of alcohol, before coming this time, our brothers discussed it, and were ready to take turns to drink you down, the battlefield is the same as this wine field, one person can't beat us in a group, and people will definitely be able to beat the opponent down, but... Can... But my brother didn't expect that the five of us still didn't put you down, my brother miscalculated today, I can't stop you, I'm obeying you for this drink, and I'll surrender to you..."

Dong Ershun and a few people saw Xiao Hai and said: "I just said that Mr. Xiao Xiao can't do a lot of it, you still don't accept it, the result is over, but Brother Xiao and I can't stand it, let's sleep for a while" After a few people finished speaking, they also lay down on the kang and fell asleep. Mr. was afraid that a few people would catch a cold, so he asked Xiao Zheng to take a second quilt and cover them with a quilt, and after the cover was finished, Xiao Zheng looked up and saw that Mr. was also looking at him with a smile and asked, "Apprentice, can you still drink?" Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Master, as long as your old man is happy, I have nothing to do." "That's good, let's continue" Mr. slowly tasted a small half bowl of wine and said to Xiao Zheng: "You really can't understand you as a teacher, you don't have anything to do now?" "Master, it's really fine." I saw Mr. smiled and said: "You kid, why does God take care of you so much, not to mention the talent, not to mention, but also give you a natural good amount of wine, according to legend, Han Fan is also born with a lot of wine like the sea, Hongmen banquet and Xiang Yu drank Xiang Yu down and took the opportunity to save Liu Bang to escape, today I see you at a young age like some heavy drinks, it is really a legendary mass, the ancients did not deceive me."

Xiao Zheng said with a smile: "The disciple doesn't know why this is the case, before the apprentice came to you, he didn't drink a drop of wine, and I don't know why I just liked the taste of this wine, but after drinking, it was warm but I didn't know what drunkenness was." "Since this is the case, then our master and apprentice continue to drink" Mr. took a big sip of the bowl and stopped and said: "Since the last time you wrote 'Empty Mountain and New Rain, the weather is late in autumn', the old man knows that your poetry is also of the highest quality, there is wine and snow today, for the teacher to test you, do you dare to make a poem to set off today's scene?" After saying that, he looked at him with expectant eyes. Put the wine bowl on the table and meditated, looked at Mr. with white hair and said: "The sideburns and snow are still fond of wine, the words are simple and ancient, the rural teenagers are in chaos, and the words are like a dream" After reading this poem, Mr. closed his eyes and thought for a while and smiled: "Your poem is suitable for the situation, although the poem is not of the highest quality, but it is also rare for you to be able to make it in a few breaths, you and I master and apprentice drink first."

Xiao Zheng said to Mr.: "Disciple Cheng Mr. teachings have the ability to do today, disciple Mr. Jing" After speaking, he picked up the bowl and drank it all, Mr. laughed and drank it, and after drinking, he fell asleep on the kang and fell asleep, Jin'er saw it and went to find a bed quilt to cover Mr. A person is still drinking, if this drinks Aya and spoils his body, what do I think you will do? Xiao Zheng smiled: "It's rare for Master to be so happy, Xiao Hai and several people are also real people, this drinking mainly depends on the mood, but why can't I get drunk." Jin'er looked at him and said, "You just blow it, the wine is so delicious?" Xiao Zheng smiled and said to Jin'er: "Why don't you try it" Jin'er glanced at the sleeping gentleman, walked to the table and picked up the wine bowl and sniffed it first, took a small sip, immediately spit it out again, frowned and said: "It's spicy and sour, it's hard to drink!" Xiao Zheng said: "But isn't it, we are suffering when we drink, and you won't talk about us when my husband and I drink in the future!" "The ghost only believes you," Jin'er gave him a blank look and went to clean up the table.

When she got up and walked to the door of the kitchen, she saw that her mother had brought the remaining half of the pot of broth to be discarded, so she hurriedly stopped her and asked her mother to take the broth back to the kitchen, put it in the pot, and add some water. Chop all the remaining robe meat into minced pieces, and after boiling the broth in a pot, pour all the robe meat into the pot and stir it slowly, seeing that the whole pot has become minced meat, then collect the fire and put it back in the basin and bring it to the courtyard to freeze it, not surprisingly, it must be a pot of fragrant meat jelly at night.
