Lu Yao was about to continue talking about how to renovate the village, when he suddenly saw his aunt Zhong Xiuxiu walking out with a vegetable plate.

"I said that you guys are still talking so hotly, it's time to get ready for dinner, and if you have anything to say, we'll talk after dinner. ”

Lu Yao stopped at the right time, changed the topic and said with a smile: "Since the eldest aunt has spoken, let's eat first, I haven't tasted the dishes made by the eldest aunt for many years, and I still drool when I think of the fried bacon with garlic leaves I ate when I was a child." ”

Zhong Xiuxiu said with a smile: "It's just right, Xiaoyao, you have a good mouth today, my aunt not only made fried bacon with garlic, but also fried pork head with chili, which are all dishes you loved to eat when you were a child." ”

When Lu Yao's family was poor, it was not easy to eat meat, and it was only during the New Year's holidays that he had this blessing.

But every time he came to his uncle's house, his aunt would cook him all kinds of delicious meat dishes. After all, Shejiazhai is deep in the mountains, and the animals on the mountain were not so seriously harmed in the past, and there are often villagers who go up the mountain to hunt a lot of game.

Although his uncle Xu Dunru is not a hunter, he is respected in the village, and basically if other families hunt any game, they will give him a part.

For example: wild boar, hare, pheasant, roe deer, etc. There are also all kinds of mountain delicacies, the days are a little poor, but the food is not too bad.

In addition, the eldest aunt herself raised a few pigs and a group of chickens at home. Every year, a pig will be killed to make bacon, and every time Lu Yao comes to his uncle's house to play, his aunt will entertain him with the best food.

Soon, with the help of Lu Mu and Su Jingya, plates of sumptuous dishes were served on the table and a full table was placed.

Uncle Xu Dunru also went to the underground wine cellar to pick up a jar of rice wine, and said to everyone with a smile: "It's rare for so many people to eat together at noon, come, try the rice wine I brewed myself." ”

Lu Yao's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he said in surprise: "Uncle, you still brew your own rice wine every year? This is a good thing, is there more? When the time comes, I'll give me a jar when I leave." ”

Xu Dunru smiled and said: "Rice wine is naturally available, I didn't expect you to love this rice wine so much when you grow up." I remember when you were a child, you once stole rice wine to drink, and got drunk in the wine cellar, causing me and your aunt to look for you for a long time. ”

Lu Yao smiled embarrassedly when he heard this, "Hehe, isn't that uncle, your rice wine is too delicious." This She family rice wine is also very famous outside, and when the time comes, cousin, you will carry it forward, and it can be regarded as a special product of our She family village. ”

Lu Mingyi nodded and said: "I remember Brother Zhong, the black rice and bamboo pole dumplings in your village are also a must, very delicious, so after all, there are quite a lot of special snacks in your village." ”

Everyone sat down separately, and there was a big bowl in front of everyone, and the rice wine was poured directly into the bowl, like amber, and the wine was fragrant.

"Good wine!"

Father Lu sighed with emotion, since his waist injury, Lu's mother forbade him to drink and smoke, or recently Lu Yao cured his back injury before he let go of some control.

However, Lu's father hasn't drunk much for many years, but he has gradually quit his addiction to alcohol, and now he only drinks a little occasionally, or drinks the grain wine brewed in the countryside, although the taste is not as mellow as the blended wine he bought, at least it is safer, and it is not easy to get a headache after drinking.

Wine, delicacies, and all kinds of game and mountain delicacies, although the dishes are not very exquisite, but the taste is really not to be said.

Especially Xiaoxi, she didn't drink alcohol, she ate the rice directly, and when she saw the rice steamed out of the firewood one by one, she ate it sweetly, and after eating a big bowl, she handed the bowl to her mother.

She shouted loudly, "Mom, this rice is delicious, I want to eat it again!"

Xiao Chen also ate with a mouth full of oil, and couldn't help nodding and saying, "Mom, this rice is much more delicious than ours." ”

Aunt Zhong Xiuxiu smiled kindly: "Baby, if you like to eat, let your father bring a pack back when the time comes." This year, my aunt's house has harvested a lot of new rice, and the two of us can't eat it all at home. ”

Hearing this, Lu Yao asked, "Cousin and cousin, haven't their family ever come back?"

The eldest aunt sighed, "No, it's not easy for your cousin to come back. If I had known this, I wouldn't have let him work at that institute in the first place. ”

Cousin Xu Aihua, the most educated of all Lu Yao's relatives, is a doctoral student who graduated from Huaxia Renmin University, and finally entered a military research institute to work, researching the most cutting-edge missile and rocket launch technology, I heard that it is very awesome.

Lu Yao has admired his cousin Xu Aihua since he was a child, so he studied so hard, but in the end, he still didn't surpass his cousin in learning.

Although my cousin's job was very respectable, he didn't have much freedom, and often didn't take family leave for three or five years.

If they really want to have a son, Xu Dunru and Zhong Xiuxiu will go to their research institute to visit Xu Aihua.

But in recent years, the old couple has grown older and is reluctant to travel thousands of miles, so they can only rely on phone calls.

Lu Yao had to sigh helplessly at this situation, for his cousin's work, his aunt didn't agree with it, and his uncle was very proud.

Xu Dunru said unhappily: "What do you know as a woman? This is to win glory for the country, even if you can't go home for the time being, what's the matter? Do we two want our sons to come back to serve? and we are too old to walk." ”

Seeing that there was a posture about to quarrel, Lu Yao hurriedly persuaded him: "Uncle, aunt, let's not say this unhappy thing." Anyway, I've moved back to the village, and it's not far from the village, so I'll come over to see you more often in the future. ”

The eldest aunt snorted coldly, didn't pay attention to the uncle, and began to pick up vegetables for Xiao Xi, Xiao Chen and Xinyu, persuading them to eat more.

Lu Yao also loaded a bowl of rice at this time, put a few grains of rice in his mouth, didn't eat the vegetables, just chewed it dry, and felt that the rice was raw in his mouth, sweet and soft, exactly the same as when he was a child.

Lu Yao put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said to Zhong Ruyu: "Cousin, the quality of the rice in our village has always been very good, at least it tastes better than the ten yuan a pound of fragrant rice I have eaten on the market." ”

"Presumably, the various snacks made with it must also taste very good, and when the time comes, the village can vigorously develop rice cultivation, and when the autumn harvest comes, the golden rice in the terraced fields will definitely attract many tourists. ”

"And there is no need to worry about these rice not being sold, I think as long as the people who have tasted it, ten yuan a pound can still be sacrificed. Even if it is not sold, when the village makes various snacks, it is indispensable to have a large number of raw materials. ”

"Not only rice, but also other cash crops must be planted in a planned manner, and we can't plant everything like now, which is too wasteful of labor and the environment is not beautiful. ”

Zhong Ruyu put down the wine bowl, thought about it, and said, "Okay, Xiaoyao, what you said is very reasonable, I will think about it." ”
