Lin Ruan smiled, "There's nothing unpleasant about this, it's all up to you to divide it into your bowl, it's your things, and it's up to you." ”

When several craftsmen heard this, they all thanked Lin Ruan with a grateful face.

Lin Ruan waved his hand and turned to look at the intestines boiling on the stove.

In fact, there was still meat left at noon, but Lin Ruan did not generously serve a little more to those craftsmen.

From the very beginning, she had agreed that she would only be responsible for the lunch of the craftsmen, and that everyone would receive the same meal, and she did not want to give more to these craftsmen because of the flood of sympathy.

Isn't it obvious that these few, and the other dozen or so, make people feel uncomfortable? When the time comes, she won't be rewarded for her kindness, what's the picture?

Therefore, she has no objection to wanting to leave it for her family, but everyone's meals are counted, and she will never give more.

Some heads can't be opened, and once they are, it's not easy to finish, and she won't make trouble for herself.

The large intestine had been boiled for nearly an hour, and it was already very soft, so Lin Ruan took out the intestines and put them in a basin to cool.

He washed the jar again, grabbed the ingredients and soaked them in wine to remove the astringency, and threw them into the jar to boil the brine. The pig's head was cleaned up, the pig's head meat was removed, the ears and tongue were separated, and the pig's trotters and pig's heart were thrown into the water to soak the blood.

After the brine boiled out of the fragrance, Lin Ruan put the soaked meat into a large pot and blanched it, and finally put it in a jar to marinate over low heat. After boiling for nearly an hour, Lin Ruan added a few spoonfuls of soy sauce to the jar and marinated it for a while, then scooped up the meat.

The color is dark red, the fragrance is rich, and the smell makes people's appetite move.

Lin Ruan cut a little pork head meat and handed it to Aunt Zhou.

"Auntie, you can help me taste it."

Aunt Zhou was already hungry, and she was not polite, so she took the meat and put it in her mouth to chew it, and immediately gave a thumbs up.

"Ah Ruan, this meat is really delicious, salty and fragrant, I have never eaten meat with this taste before."

Lin Ruan couldn't help laughing, she had discovered before, there was no lo-mei here, and it was not unusual for Aunt Zhou not to eat it at all.

This is one of the dishes that her store will sell in the future.

It's just that the taste still needs to be improved, after all, the spices at home are very limited, and some still need to be bought at the pharmacy.

Taking advantage of his free time, Lin Ruan went to the river to "fish" two fish and came back, and slaughtered another pheasant.

After the craftsmen finished their work and left in the evening, Lin Ruan began to get busy.

The pork ribs cooked at noon are fried in an oil pan until fragrant, and sprinkled with fried and crushed peppercorns and salt.

The large intestine was cut into hob pieces, accompanied by green onions, ginger, garlic and celery stalks, and a large pot of roasted large intestines was made.

The two small pork loins were fried with a small plate of fried kidney flowers.

The pork lungs are rinsed and stewed in soup with radishes, sprinkled with a handful of finely chopped garlic sprouts.

The pheasant added some dried mushrooms that Lin Ruan dried a few days ago and stewed a pot of health soup.

The two fish were made into braised whole fish.

The pork liver is cut into thin slices, grasped well with wine and starch soy sauce, accompanied by a large handful of green onions, white peppers and ginger slices.

Then cut the brine that had been marinated in the afternoon into a platter, and a large table of sumptuous dinner was ready.

When Aunt Zhou helped, she couldn't help but ask: "Ah Ruan, this is not a year, what are you doing with such a big table of dishes?" It's a pity that you can't finish eating. ”

Lin Ruan smiled but said nothing.

It was already a little dark, so Lin Ruan lit four oil lamps in the shed, and the shed was suddenly much brighter.

The Zhou family and Lin Zhong sat down at the table together, looking at the dishes full of color, aroma and quantity, some of them couldn't come back to their senses.

"Ah Ruan, why do these things look a bit like pigs in the water?"

"Yes, it's pigs going into the water."

Lin Zhong was a little hesitant, these dishes looked very good, but the taste of the pig in the water was really not good.

Aunt Zhou had long been impressed by Lin Ruan's craftsmanship, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to sit down.

"Hurry up and sit down and eat, it's cold now, delay a little longer, the dishes will be cold."

Uncle Zhou and Lin Zhongqian gave in and sat down together.

The juniors of the Zhou family also sat down one after another, and Zhou Lian'er sat down next to Lin Ruan affectionately. Xiuxiu sat next to Lin Ruan.

Aunt Zhou said to Lin Zhong and Uncle Zhou: "Father Akan, in charge, you should try it quickly, Ah Ruan's craftsmanship is really eye-opening." Just fight this brine...... The platter is so delicious that you can't wait to swallow your tongue. ”

When Uncle Zhou heard her say this, he picked up his chopsticks and took a piece of lo-mei and tasted it, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"It's a delicious dish, especially for wine."

Lin Ruan smiled and bent down, and took out a small jar of wine from under the table.

"Dad, uncle, this is a wine specially for you."

Lin Zhong stretched out his hand to take the wine, his expression full of joy. He hadn't drunk in years, and although he wasn't a drinker, it was nice to have a drink after doing farm work.

Uncle Zhou asked, "Ah Ruan, what's the matter with you making such a big table of wine and food today?" ”

Lin Ruan glanced at Lin Zhong, "Today is my father's birthday." ”

Lin Zhong was stunned for a moment, and it took a while to come back to his senses, is it September 23 today?

Since Lin Han's mother is gone, he hasn't had a birthday for several years.

In the past, when Lin Hanniang was still alive, they had not yet split up at that time, and it was not their turn to make their own decisions about everything in the family. But every birthday, she would secretly boil two eggs for him. It was she who secretly did embroidery work and asked someone to sell it in exchange.

Later, Lin Han's mother passed away, and life became more and more difficult, and his birthday coincided with the season of planting wheat, so he gradually forgot about this stubble.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ruan still remembered that after she could be the master of the house, she prepared such a grand birthday banquet for him.

Suddenly, Lin Zhong's eyes turned red with excitement.

When Uncle Zhou saw him like that, he knew that he had had a hard time in the past few years, so he patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother Ah Zhong, you have a few good children, this is your blessing. Ah Ruan is capable, Ah Shan has entered school, Xiuxiu is obedient and sensible, you will be waiting to enjoy happiness in the future. ”

Lin Zhong wiped his eyes embarrassedly, his expression seemed to be laughing and crying, and his voice trembled a little with excitement.

"They are all good children, but I, the father, have no ability to make them suffer so many crimes. I'm sorry for the children, and I'm sorry for the children. ”

Aunt Zhou hurriedly said: "Daddy Ahan, don't say that, today is your birthday, we can be happy." Boss, you hurry up and toast Akan's father. ”

Uncle Zhou immediately opened the wine jar and poured wine into the bowl in front of the two.

"Come, Brother Azhong, I toast you with a cup, and wish you happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan."

Lin Zhong has lived this little life, where has he received such formal congratulations, and quickly stood up and thanked him.

The two touched the bowl and took a sip of wine each.
