Lu Yu called Yan Xi'an aside and said to her, "Actually, I want to ask your father to leave our village to teach the children to read." ”

So Yan Xi'an was unhappy, she said angrily: "Hmph, I thought you were coming to me, it turned out to be because of this." ”

Of course, Lu Yu could only laugh and say, "Looking for you is the main thing, and inviting your father is secondary." ”

"Hmph, I don't believe it, you can go to him yourself."

When Lu Yu saw Yan Jibai and his wife, he said that he invited them to the village for dinner, he had just hunted wild boars yesterday, and he wanted to make tamales today, and he wanted them to go over and taste them.

Both of them thought that Lu Yu must have wanted to see his daughter again, and deliberately found this reason. Neither of them was willing to scare Lu Yu's wishes, so they agreed to go over together.

The four of them went back with Yan Jibai, and it was not long before Zhang Qiye and Lu Ming arrived home. Ah Li's belly is big, and it is inconvenient to go out, so Mrs. Zhang has to stay at home to take care of her daughter, and Lu Jiayu didn't come over because she didn't have an uncle to hold her.

Rice noodle tamales definitely need to be ground rice noodles. Rice noodles are not just taken and ground in the grinding plate, but the rice must be fried first, without a little water, and it must be dry and cooked.

The rice is very fragrant when fried, especially when the fine salt is fried first, and then the rice is poured into it and fried together, it smells even more fragrant. Lu Ming washed the grinding pieces first and dried them, and after the rice was fried, he came to grind the rice flour. (This is a farming text, so when I write about some food preparation, I try to write in detail)

The brothers cooperated, and the rice noodles were quickly ground and then they were ready to start steaming.

Before steaming the meat, Mrs. Yan had already cooked and fried a few side dishes, and waited for the rice noodles to be steamed, and at the same time cooked a pot of rice. Zhang Qiye and Yan Jibai sat and talked, and Lu Yu didn't listen to what they were talking about.

The relationship between Lan Shaofang and Yan Xi'an is getting better and better, as soon as the girls arrived at Lu Yu's house, they went to the backyard to circle the pond, and they didn't know if they were looking at the lotus flowers or the fish in the pond, those fish were all adapted to the pool, and they didn't see any dead.

If it was before, Yan Xiding would definitely follow behind Lan Shaofang's ass, but now he is a little different, he only looks at her from a distance, and he doesn't dare to hide. He wanted to get closer, but he seemed a little afraid to do so.

The weather was nice, neither hot nor cold. Do you think it's good to be quiet?

The rice flour was ground, and the meat was cut into pieces by Mrs. Yan. Mix the pieces of meat with the rice noodles and stir them together so that each slice of meat sticks to the rice noodles.

Lu Ming said that it is best to have soy sauce for rice noodle tamales, which is both colored and seasoned, which is what they used to do in Baiweiju. Where would there be such a thing as soy sauce in Lu Yu's house, there was not even sauce.

After the meat and rice noodles were mixed well, Lu Yu poured some salt water into it, mixed it again, and then went to pick lotus leaves.

Lu Yu was making lotus leaf steamed pork for the first time, and he didn't know what kind of lotus leaf was better, so he chose a few lotus leaves that didn't look old and not too tender.

Mix the pork with rice noodles, wrap it in lotus leaves, wrap it tightly, and put it in a steamer.

Before the meal was cooked, Lu Wuye came over, and the old man didn't know if he smelled the fragrance of rice noodles and meat, so he deliberately came over at this time.

Lu Wuye, Zhang Qiye and Yan Jibai sat there talking, and Lu Yu was preparing a meal.

There is a lot of meat, a lot of rice noodles, and several packs of steamed tamales. I don't know how it tastes, but it smells good. After steaming, Lu Yu was not afraid of being hot, so he picked up the lotus leaf bag wrapped in meat and rice noodles with his hand and put it in the basin prepared in advance.

Before the lotus leaves opened, the aroma of meaty rice noodles and sweet lotus flowers filled several rooms, which was straight to the mouth and nose, and it was appetizing.

Yan Xiding's saliva was about to stay, he ran over to look around, and asked if Lu Yu's meat was cooked.

Lu Wuye had already come, so he naturally wanted to eat with him for lunch, and the old man was not polite, so he sat down.

There is no wine today, but there are a lot of dishes, in addition to rice noodles and steamed pork, there are all kinds of stir-fried meat and vegetables, as well as those pigs that were not eaten yesterday. Those mushrooms picked yesterday were soaked in water by Lu Yu for a day, and they are still a little wilted today. But it can still be eaten, so Lu Yu used mushrooms, tofu and greens to add a few pieces of meat to cook a big pot of soup.

All the dishes taste very good, especially the lotus leaf steamed pork, which everyone eats is full of praise.

Lu Yu also picked up a piece of meat and tasted it. The taste is indeed very good, with a hint of lotus leaf's unique sweetness and bitterness (sweet and bitter, not exaggerated), its taste is fragrant, fresh and fat, soft and glutinous and not greasy at all.

Lu Wuye took a bite, put down his chopsticks again, turned his head and asked Lu Yu: "Da Yu, did you do this?" ”

Lu Yu said with a smile: "I picked the lotus leaves, and the vegetables were made by my aunt." Lu Yu lied.

"It's really good, you people in the city can come up with a way to steam pork with lotus leaves." Lu Wuye completely looked like an elder, and said: "This craftsmanship is really good, I don't think it's worse than those masters in your city restaurants." ”

Mrs. Yan smiled slightly and said, "You praise me too much, I can't compare with those masters." Besides, today's dishes are almost all made by Lu Yu himself. In fact, she also lied, and the tamales were made by Lu Yu.

"Alas, Da Yu, this kid, it's good."

Mrs. Yan also nodded, and she didn't say anything if she praised her son-in-law in public.

Zhang Qiye said: "Da Yu is good, we have to lose him." ”

"Yes, if it weren't for my brother, we would all be able to sit and eat."

Lu Yu smiled embarrassedly, thinking, "Isn't there something serious today?" Why are you talking about me again? ”

Lu Wuye probably wanted to turn a corner and turn the topic to the matter of "Yan Jibai came to the village to teach", obviously, he did not succeed in turning this corner, and then asked Yan Jibai directly: "What is Mr. Yan usually busy with at home?" ”

Yan Jibai said: "There is nothing to be busy with, just read books, write and write, and teach children." He smiled and said, "Fifth Master, you are too polite, I don't dare to call Mr. in front of you." ”

"It's got to be Mr. Title." Lu Wuye asked: "Teaching children in the city?" Teach again? ”

Yan Xiding's face was slightly unnatural, he shook his head and said, "It's my own child." ”

"Oh." Lu Wuye nodded, and said slowly: "Then what are you?" Be...... It's 'overkill'. The old man thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with an idiom.

Yan Jibai sighed and said with a smile: "I'm not a big deal, except for a few years of study, I don't have anything to do, and I can't do anything big." ”

"Brother Yan's words are not right. The people on our side respect the most for a gentleman like you. Don't you see that the ancestral tablets on our side are all written 'Heaven and Earth Monarch Prince'? This gentleman is as big as the prince of heaven and earth. Zhang Qiye turned around and wanted to point to the ancestral tablet of the Lu Yu family, but found that the Lu Yu family did not have such a thing.

Yan Yubai was even more uncomfortable, shook his head with a smile, and did not speak.

Lu Yu felt that he had the responsibility to relieve the siege for his "future father-in-law", and said: "Uncle Yan used to be in the city, and there were not many students, and he taught the children of those rich and powerful families. I've heard that those kids are very naughty, not as obedient as our students. After a pause, Lu Yu continued: "Uncle Yan is different, the group of children he brought with him all respect him very much. ”

Lu Wuye said: "It is estimated that everyone is rich and powerful, so if you can't say it, you won't look at your husband in your eyes." Mr. Yan's students are obedient, that's because Mr. Yan is a good teacher. ”

Yan Jibai smiled, thinking to himself where are these things you are talking about.

Lu Wuye finally opened his mouth to get to the point: "Mr. Yan, I'm not here today, not to rub this meal at Da Yu's house. Without waiting for Yan Jibai and Lu Yu to speak, he said again: "I want to come and ask you for something for the people in the village." Then he remained silent, waiting for the question to be asked.

It is natural for Yan Jibai to say, "If your old man has any orders, just say it." ”

Lu Wuye nodded unhurriedly, and said slowly: "In our Yangshan Village, as well as several surrounding villages, the children here also want to study in the school. But just after this troubled and disaster year, there are students, but Mr. is hard to find. So we all thought about it, and wanted to ask Mr. Yan to come to our village and teach those children to read. ”

Yan Jibai usually doesn't like to talk to people in the village, but he is actually a smart person, and he has already guessed Lu Wuye's intentions. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Well, I'll think about it again." It's not that I don't want to teach, but I'm afraid that my ability will be limited and delay the children. ”

"Alas, you don't like what you say, in the city, you can teach the children of those officials and rich men well, but you can't teach the children of our small mountain village?" Lu Wuye shook his head and said, "I see, you are still afraid that the big material will be used in a small place." ”

Yan Jibai hurriedly said: "This is really not. I also told the truth, the children in our village are innocent and simple, but sometimes, it is not easy to discipline, I am afraid that I will not be able to figure out the children's temperament, and it will not be good if I make something wrong when the time comes. ”

Lu Yu thinks that Yan Jibai's worries are not unreasonable, the children in the countryside are wild, and they often have to help the family. If they don't come for three days, or come and go at any time, it will definitely make them unpleasant. Although Yan Yubai looked quiet and calm, Lu Yu felt that he was a very temperamental character.

Lu Wuye said: "What can be wrong?" What do you want to touch? According to me, children should be praised for their obedience, disobedient and mischievous, they should be scolded, and they should be beaten, and you don't need to be polite. If the parents of this family are unwilling and unhappy, they will call them to come to me. He pursed his mouth and said "majesticly": "I don't believe that in our village, there are people who dare not respect Mr. ”

"I think it's the same reason, the children in the countryside are not as good as those in the city, those who are disobedient, even if you say it, even if you scold, this is really to have those who are too naughty and disobedient to discipline, even if they beat them, no one will have parents who are not convinced." Zhang Qiye smiled and said: "Isn't this all for the sake of the child, who can have any opinions?" ”
