"Have you eaten enough?" Zhuang Hu asked his eldest son.

"Mother, we're all full, by the way, there are wild rabbits here, go and clean them up and marinate them with salt!"

Zhuang Hu was in a good mood and went to the kitchen with a smile.

Filled with wine and food, everyone had a satisfied smile on their faces.

At this time, one of the brothers of Zhuang Laohan's family came, with a girl named Qingqing and his eldest son.

Zhuang Laohan and this brother Zhuang Laosan are just righteous brothers, Zhuang Laohan's mother picked up Zhuang Laosan, and raised him to the age of sixteen, helped him become a family, and then separated.

They chatted in the hall, and Qian Junbao was ready to leave.

was left by Zhuang Youbin, saying that he would take them to catch the sea in the afternoon.

Ye Qing didn't rush to the sea, he was a little interested, so he stayed.

When Lin Qingqing passed by the door of the Zhuang family's stove room, she was called in by Zhuang Hu.

"Auntie, what's wrong?" Lin Qingqing asked, didn't go in, just looked at Zhuang Hu who was standing behind the stove and washing dishes and chopsticks.

Zhuang Hu took out a bowl from the cupboard and uncovered the bowl that was upside down, revealing a bowl of chicken and rabbit meat inside.

"Qingqing, you take this dish home and eat it tomorrow morning!" Zhuang Hu said, the women of the Lin family eat less meat.

Lin Qingqing hurriedly shook her head: "How can I take it?" ”

Zhuang Hu said: "Aunt said that you make you make it!" Don't say that you are silent, how many things have you done for our family before, just because you want to marry my family in the future, what can this bowl of food be? ”

"Auntie, you're polite, I didn't bother much......"

No matter what Zhuang Hu said, Lin Qingqing refused to take those dishes, she had a lot of family, and when she took these dishes back, she and her mother and sister actually couldn't eat meat, because her grandmother would definitely not give them food.

It didn't help to take it back, and besides, she didn't want to owe the dealer too much now.

Zhuang Hu had no choice, so he had to turn his head and say to his youngest son: "Haizi, you go and find your eldest brother and chat with Qingqing!" ”

Zhuang Youhai raised his head, glanced at Lin Qingqing, curled the corners of his mouth and smiled a few times: "I said Sister Qingqing, isn't it just some dishes, what a big deal?" Look at your grinding and chirping, but it doesn't look like your temperament at all. ”

As soon as Zhuang Youhai's words came out, Lin Qingqing hesitated and said, "Then I'll bring some hairtail fish back when I go home, our family hasn't eaten hairtail fish for a long time."

Zhuang Hu looked at it and glanced at his son: "You stinky boy, I asked you to find your brother, why do you open your mouth and hurt people?" ”

turned around and said to Lin Qingqing: "Qingqing, what is delicious with fish, our family is tired of eating, you have to bring fish every time you come, and those who don't know think that our family is stingy."

This chicken and rabbit meat are delicious, listen to your aunt, take it! ”

"Well, then I'll thank my aunt!"

"You kid, what are you polite to your aunt!"

Seeing that Lin Qingqing was finally willing to accept the bowl, she immediately smiled.

"Qingqing, you will call your father and mother here tomorrow, I have something good to tell them?"

Lin Qingqing thought about it and replied honestly, "Hmm." ”

Zhuang Hu nodded happily: "Then you and your brother will come over often to eat in the future, I told you that you will be able to eat meat every day in the future!" ”

"No need, aunt, don't bother, I'm sixteen years old, I can cook myself, how can I come here to eat every day before I get married." Lin Qingqing smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Cheng, you go and talk to Youbin first."

"Well, aunt, I'll go first!"

Looking at Lin Qingqing's back, Zhuang Hu's eyes and eyebrows showed a look of relief, this kid is really sensible.

Back to the stove room, start tidying up the pots and pans.

Zhuang Youhai called his eldest brother over, scooped a scoop of water by the water tank, washed his face, and sobered himself.

looked at the mother who had been laughing, and quipped: "Mother, you are so worried that she won't be able to eat meat, just let her marry her as soon as possible, and let the eldest brother take good care of her!" ”

Zhuang Hu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I promised her grandfather that she would not be married until she was eighteen."

picked up a clean cloth and handed it to his son to wipe, while saying: "She's weird and pitiful, I hope she and her brother can come to our place for dinner often, so that they can gain weight and have children in the future!" ”

"My big brother definitely doesn't want her to be too fat!" Zhuang Youhai shook his head.

"Hey, you know what. Fat is easy to give birth, and she's too thin like that! ”

Qingqing's body is quite thin, so she still has to eat some meat to make up for it.

In the next room, a few men were doing homework.

"Third brother, tomorrow, you will be at home to take care of your foot injury, and when the millet is ripe, we will help you cut the millet." Zhuang Laohan said.

Zhuang Laosan didn't make a sound, but his eldest son Zhuang Youli asked, "Will it delay your kung fu, uncle?" ”

"It's okay, I'm free!" Zhuang Lao Han said, and his family will soon have a big income.

"Then when your family harvests rice, we will also help."

"No, I'm too tired, I'm going to hire a few part-time workers!" Zhuang Laohan waved his hand and said.

Zhuang Youli didn't squeak, did the eldest uncle's family get rich?

"Uncle, is there anything good in your family? Why do you have to spend money to hire people to harvest rice this year? ”

"The good thing is that there is, you will know in a few days, you have also seen my family have guests today, and when this matter is discussed, our family will not plant rice from next year."

"Ah, what a good thing!" Zhuang Laosan also asked with interest.

"These guests want to buy the trees on my mountain farm, but it will take a few days for them to send someone to help collect them!"

"What kind of trees to buy, I have a lot of trees in my house." Zhuang Laosan asked, his family also has dozens of acres of mountainous land, and there are also 20 acres of good land, which can grow rice.

So their family has enough food to eat every year, and they can sell some to the eldest brother's family.

"There are no trees on your mountain that they want, and only my family's land on the entire island is there, and they are all blessed by their ancestors."

"Ahh What kind of tree is it? ”

"The three-leaf croton tree, which you don't have at home." Zhuang Laohan said proudly.

"Have you met a nobleman?"

"Yes, and he's a noble man who can cook. The food it made tastes very good, better than the dishes in the palace. ”

"You haven't eaten the food in the palace, how do you know?" Zhuang Laosan was a little jealous.

"Hmph, I'll show you this!" After saying that, the old man got up and went to a small wooden box at the offering table in the hall and took out a yellowed book.

"This is the recipe, take a look at the palace recipe, you haven't seen it."

"Roasted mandarin ducks, roasted lilies, roasted apples, stuffed fruit lotus, stuffed river rice, fried crabs. Rice and assorted Gexian rice ......"
