Eating Aunt Niu's meals every day, even the dried vegetable soup tastes delicious, and sometimes she also takes Aunt Niu to make button meat to eat.

Wei Qin picked up a piece of button meat, and introduced it to everyone in the tone of Aunt Niu: "Look at this bowl of dried vegetables and button meat, but I chose three layers of fat pork belly, roasted the skin with the bottom of a hot pot, put star anise, cooking wine, ginger and water to cook and take it out, and then boiled the juice with rock sugar, put the pork belly into the juice and color it and take it out." Then pour oil into the pot, add minced ginger and dried chili peppers and stir-fry until fragrant, stir-fry the dried plum vegetables, add soy sauce and sugar to make it fresh and set aside. Finally, cut the pork belly thinly, stick it on the wall of the bowl one by one, put the fried plum vegetables on the pork belly slices, put it in the drawer and steam it again, take it out and turn it upside down on the plate, and sprinkle it with chopped green onions to garnish. That's what makes the dish. Only the meat that comes out of this way can ......"

Xiao Fugui took Wei Qin's words while eating: "It will be fat but not greasy, fresh but not salty, fragrant but not fishy." I have eaten a meal and will miss it for the rest of my life. ”

Aunt Niu patted Xiao Fugui's head in disgust, pointed at Wei Qin and said with a smile: "You girl, you are the one who says it is unpalatable, and you are the one who says it is delicious, and now it is you who laughs at Aunt Niu, but what can I do with you." I can't beat and beat, and I can't be reluctant to scold, so I can only make more dishes to block your mouth. ”

Wei Qin stuck out his tongue, sandwiched the pork belly into his bowl, and stuffed it into his mouth with the rice, stuffing it bulgingly, indicating that his mouth was gagged.

Aunt Niu was even happier when she saw her like this.

Everyone was eating happily, and suddenly heard a noise outside the house, as if several aunts were talking loudly, and before they could hear what they were doing, they heard Aunt Niu snort coldly outside.

Shi Shu smiled and asked, "What kind of person is this outside, making Aunt Niu so angry before she sees anyone?" ”

Aunt Niu looked disdainful: "It's not the surnamed Ma in the next village, two nobles lived in the house a few days ago, and I almost beat the gongs and drums to tell everyone in the past two days, don't be ashamed." Now the surrounding villages are talking about their family. ”

Wei Qin said with a smile: "I understand, Aunt Niu is disgusted that we don't have a card, and we can't let her show off from door to door." ”

Aunt Niu snorted and retorted, "Where do I care about that." Besides, your overall style may not be as good as the two of those families, just in terms of the number of people in our family, they are all better than him. If you compare, you can't compare. It's just that she is superficial and too lazy to bother with her. ”

The five of them snickered, when they first came, Aunt Niu was not also a family that advertised that there were distinguished guests at home, but now it is not easy to expose her, so I don't say it for fear of damaging her face.

Aunt Niu said: "You don't know, we have been enemies with the surnamed Ma since childhood, and we have to compare everything, when we were young, we were bigger than our clothes and headbands, and when we were younger, we were older than our husbands and children, and later we were compared to the crops planted in the field, and today we are compared to the guests who live at home." In the past few decades, how can there be a moment of idleness. ”

Wei Qin opened his eyes and looked at Aunt Niu and said, "Since we have made Aunt Niu have a long face, can we add another dish to us tomorrow?" I want to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes. ”

Qu Mingli also liked the sweet and sour taste, and nodded in agreement.

Ban Fei saw that Qu Mingli was becoming more and more greedy like Wei Qin, and he was helpless.

Aunt Niu nodded at Wei Qin and Qu Mingli's heads, and said with a smile: "You nobles, if you want to come out, you can work hard as our croppers, and you can take anything you want." I really didn't suffer from going to the earth. That's it, whoever made you all the people on the tip of Aunt Niu's heart, how can I not follow the reason. ”

Everyone laughed.

Although Aunt Niu always picks this and that, she has never really shortened their food, and she naturally knows their kindness.

Aunt Niu suddenly thought of something again, her expression became distressed, she looked at the people who were eating, thought for a moment, and deliberately sighed, for fear that others would not hear, and looked at everyone with a blank look.

It was naturally strange for others to see her like this.

"Aunt Niu, but what is going on?" Qu Mingli asked her.

Aunt Niu saw them asking, and couldn't wait to say: "Isn't this the Dragon Boat Festival coming, the village has held village meetings over the years, so that each family can prepare timely and appropriate items to send, compared to the most thoughtful and most festive atmosphere, it is considered this year's jackpot." In the past few years, I was compared to the one surnamed Ma, and this year there are so many people, I always have to win, don't you say? ”

After everyone heard the laughter, Aunt Niu also said that she was too lazy to compare, but in fact, she had to compare with others everywhere, and she was afraid that she would not be able to it.

Shi Shu asked her: "Then is there any taboo in this competition?" ”

Aunt Niu replied: "There is no taboo, only expensive things are not allowed, if you win with the gold of things, then what is there to compare." ”

Wei Qin took it with a wave of his hand: "Okay, Aunt Niu, this matter is on us, you just remember to add a bowl of vegetables tomorrow." ”

Aunt Niu was overjoyed when she saw that they should go, and patted her chest to promise a good meal tomorrow.

Qu Mingli asked Wei Qin in private: "What are you going to do?" ”

Wei Qin was stunned: "I don't know, didn't we do it together?" ”

Qu Mingli sighed, pulled Ban Fei to think about it, and didn't figure out anything.

The three stooges sat together, looking at each other with sad faces.

Aunt Niu came in and opened her mouth to ask, "Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, are your things ready?" ”

The three of them stood up like children who had done something wrong, and no one dared to answer.

"Aunt Niu, the thing is here." Ning Zeqing came out of the compartment with a zongzi in his hand, which was more than ordinary, except that it was tied with red silk thread. You can't tell the difference from the outside.

Aunt Niu took this zongzi and said suspiciously: "What's the difference between this zongzi, can you compare the one surnamed Ma?" ”

Ning Zeqing nodded, reassuring her.

Aunt Niu felt that he didn't talk much on weekdays, and when he spoke, he gave people a sense of stability, and there should be no mistake in thinking about it, so she carefully accepted it and installed it carefully.

Early in the morning of the second day, Aunt Niu bundled the newly picked mugwort leaves and calamus, hung one at each door, and sprinkled realgar powder on the four edges of the house to repel insects and ward off evil spirits. Steamed rice dumplings on the stove, tea eggs boiled in the stove, and some gruel was boiled with salted duck egg yolk on the side.

When everyone got up, they brought them water soaked in wormwood to wipe them, and each of them tied a five-colored rope around their wrists, and personally peeled the leaves of the zongzi for them to eat.

Qu Mingli asked her with a smile: "Aunt Niu, don't you still want to go to the village meeting to compete?" ”

Aunt Niu peeled the dumpling leaves for the last person, washed her hands and wiped them: "Go, go now." ”

Aunt Niu smiled and walked out of the door, touched her cuffs, panicked again, and came back to look around the house.

"What about the big zongzi, I obviously put it on my body, why is it gone?"
