After dealing with the matter of the white python protecting the family immortals, he was ready to rebuild the family house as soon as possible.

The elderly generally have a very serious concept of home, unlike many young people, who like the outside world of flowers and flowers, and like the lifestyle of the four seas as their home.

"The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own kennels." Even if the family is surrounded by walls and has nothing, they can live in peace of mind.

Rural people are more about friendship. Neighbors and villagers generally get along in harmony.

Today I will lend you a bag of salt, and tomorrow you will return me a bottle of vinegar. Although it is plain, it is simple and sincere. There is no conflict of interest, you can treat each other with sincerity, although there will be quarrels because of some trivial things, but you don't count too much afterwards, and you can get along regardless of previous suspicions.

It's not as deep as in the city, and people are wary of each other.

Especially in the workplace, you don't know who is good for you and who wants to harm you, pay attention to everything, be cautious, dare not speak, dare not do things, for fear that if you are not careful, you will be calculated by others.

But in the countryside, you can open your heart and do things boldly, even if you fail, it doesn't matter, your friends and family will always support you and help you get out of the trough and face life again.

This is undoubtedly a luxury in a city where people are relatively indifferent.

Many people will not only not help you much, but will also look at your jokes, and will not put themselves in your shoes at all, but will only step on you, curse you, and suppress you.

If you do a good job, he will speak ill of you behind your back, create rumors about you, and find fault with you. If you do poorly, then he will have more capital to ridicule you, with a pair of "I have long seen that he can't do it." ”

This typical "angry people, laughing people" makes many people feel the coldness of the workplace. Even in the scorching summer, it still makes people feel cold.

Zhao Yuankang chose a small city to start a business, and did not go to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen to seek survival. On the other hand, he has a peaceful nature and likes to live freely and unfettered.

Today's life is the type he is more satisfied with, he has the support of friends and family, and there is not much pressure in a small city, he can let go of his hands and feet, and he can often go home to visit his family.

In the case of the fire, he drove back in less than two hours, and if the weather was clear, it would have been more than an hour. If you are in a foreign country, it is really "far water can't save near fire".

Moreover, to put it unlucky, his mother is old, and if there is a three-long and two-short, he will not have time to fulfill his filial piety in front of the hall.

After he returned, he has been busy all the time, for the blood cube, for the sake of the Yuanfeng Chinese Academy, he has never taken care of his family.

This was his second homecoming, and the longest he stayed.

He got up in the morning and walked down the dilapidated country dirt road, and a pungent smell of cow dung wafted through the air, giving him a familiar rustic atmosphere.

Today, the fog is relatively thin, and in the shadows, villagers are already farming in the distance.

The grass and trees on the side of the road have been wet by frost, and some yellow fallen leaves are scattered on the ground, bidding farewell to the shackles of trees and falling into the dust.

He has always had the habit of getting up early, walking in the countryside, looking at some unfamiliar environments, and letting go of the tense heart that had been tense for many days.

When the day dawned, he called up Xiangzi, who was still asleep, this guy couldn't sleep at first, but then he put a thick quilt and fell asleep.

The two drove to the town to find a team that often came to their village to build houses and decorate the project, and explained the situation to the leader, who took two workers to follow the two to his abandoned yard to check it, and after measuring and overhauling, they suggested that the east side of the house should be demolished and rebuilt, and the west side should be renovated.

He warned the engineering captain that the ground in the courtyard did not need to be dug deeply, and if a water tank was dug up, it must not be moved. The Baojia Immortal Hall in Westinghouse can't be moved.

The captain is also from the countryside, and he knows the importance of this Baojiaxian, and after seeing the furnishings and location, he promised him not to move these two places.

After some calculations and discussions, the two finally agreed that the project team would complete the project in 20 days, and the price would be 30,000 yuan within one month (considering weather factors) at the latest.

In this way, he can save a lot of trouble, it is enough to have his mother and Aunt Zhang Luo, he doesn't have to stare at work here, and he can go back to the city to deal with the affairs of the Chinese Academy with peace of mind.

After all this, it was already noon, and the two came to Aunt Zhang's house to eat together.

Mrs. Zhang's family has been neighbors for many years, and she has taken care of them since she was a child. Her wife left a few years ago, and she lived with her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson, but there was no contradiction.

She also has a daughter, who married into a neighboring village, and usually comes back for reunions.

Today, she called her daughter back to help make a big table together to entertain Zhao Yuankang's family.

First, he was shocked by his family, after all, it was an unpleasant thing for his house to catch fire.

Second, since Zhao Yuankang bought so many things, they were embarrassed to eat at home, so everyone had a lively time, fulfilling the friendship of the landlord and enhancing the relationship between neighbors, why not?

Aunt Zhang's son is a good cook, and he is in charge of the cooking during the New Year's holidays, while his daughter-in-law and sister-in-law help with the cooking, which also reflects the happy family atmosphere.

In a few moments, a large round table was filled with sumptuous delicacies.

Rural banquets, mainly big fish and meat, the taste is sufficient, the amount is large, and the management is enough, so as to represent the hospitality of the host's family.

This table of banquets, in addition to a large number of meat dishes, also added a few special farm dishes, to achieve the meat and vegetable matching, it seems that this eldest brother is quite attentive, afraid of blind meat dishes, so that Zhao Yuankang, Xiangzi and other people who are used to staying in the city are not in good taste.

He counted them carefully, and served four cool, six hot, four main dishes, and a pot of soup.

Four cold dishes: crispy fish, donkey meat**, sauced beef, ginger pine eggs.

Six hot dishes: stir-fried pork in the countryside, spicy shrimp, stir-fried pork slices with mushrooms, mushu pork, garlic and oily wheat vegetables, and boiled fish.

Four main courses: beef stew, stewed elbow, roast leg of lamb, crispy roast duck.

One soup: pork rib soup. Staple food: millet stewed rice, spiced flatbread.

The two families sat around and began to eat and talk, the men pouring wine and the women some cokes.

Today is a double day (October 24), and their car is limited to return to the city, so they simply go back tomorrow.

He is also very happy today, he set up a white python to become a family protector, and negotiated the reconstruction of the old house, this trip home can be regarded as a complete merit.

He first gave Mrs. Zhang a glass of wine, thanking the family for taking care of his mother and son.

He toasted Brother Zhang again, thanked him for his hospitality, and asked him to take more trouble and help keep an eye on the construction.

Brother Zhang is a simple person, he drank the wine in one sip and patted his chest to pack the ticket.

"Brother, you can rest assured about this, with me, there will be no problem."

Everyone was no longer polite, and they waved their chopsticks and ate. Not to mention, this big brother's craftsmanship is really authentic.

Although men and women are now equal, and women in many industries can do well, there is still a gap in terms of talent, such as driving, such as cooking.

Especially in the chef industry, men are born with a keen sense of food, both eating and cooking, not to mention that most of the excellent chefs in the restaurant are men, that is, in the family, but any man who can cook, the craft is also unique.

And nowadays, many women are not good at cooking, but men have become the main force in the kitchen. It's really "up to the hall and down to the kitchen".

Although these dishes are mostly common dishes, they are full of flavor, delicious and delicious, meat but not greasy, and many but not vulgar.

Let's just say that the boiled fish, the fish, is the big grass carp in the fish pond at the head of the village, the meat is fat and tender and smooth, after frying treatment, the outside is crispy and the inside is tender, after the pot, pour a spoonful of hot oil, let the pepper fully explode spicy, it is simply delicious in the world.

Let's talk about the beef stew, one looks at the heat, and the other looks at the ingredients.

When it comes to heat, it is not only about the control of the fire, but also about the handling of the beef. First, the beef is slapped with the back of a knife, destroying its tissue fibers. Then boil with hot water, first boil over high heat, then change to low heat and stew, and finally boil until the juice is reduced.

Speaking of ingredients, when stewing beef, adding two or three spoonfuls of wine or vinegar can make the beef more susceptible to rotting. Add a tea bag or hawthorn to remove the smell and shorten the simmering time.

This beef is stewed, and the chopsticks are inserted to the end, and it is soft and slightly chewy.

This meal made him seem to have regained the taste of his childhood for a long time, and he ate freely and casually.

And Xiangzi is even more windy, with his hands out, eating with his mouth full of oil, and his appearance is really ridiculous.
