Chapter 3: Night in the Country

The third uncle carried the gift given to him by Luo Chen and went home, although he was still a little worried, and decided to tell Luo Chen's parents tonight, but he also knew that he didn't understand the outside world, so it was better not to mess around.

"Childe, have we been misunderstood?" Cheng Lingsu walked out, looked at their backs as they went back, and asked.

"It's okay, old man, worrying about us is a concern for us, just make it clear, after all, you are so beautiful. ”

Luo Chen looked at her smart eyes and said with a smile.

"Who told you to buy this car, no wonder he was suspicious. This is the wisdom of the elderly, first of all, it is better to live in peace and stability than anything else. Cheng Lingsu said.

Luo Chen smiled embarrassedly, "There's no way, if I don't have anything, just tell him that we want to build a herb cultivation base here, and he'll believe it."

With this car, at least, it is a little convincing, and it is much more convenient to do anything, and these people just look at these superficial things. ”

Cheng Lingsu covered his mouth and chuckled.

"Okay. Luo Chen honestly admitted, "I have a good face, I have money, nouveau riche mentality, I just want to drive a good car, luxury cars and beauties, it is the dream of most people, and I am no exception." ”

"So, you've now fulfilled one of your dreams. ”

"Of course, I'm already very satisfied with you. Luo Chen said happily.

"Third uncle, look at things, it's very powerful. Cheng Lingsu stopped laughing at him and changed the subject.

"Yes, in the past, the third uncle was also high-spirited. Luo Chen remembered that when he was a child, he had to find him to solve whatever happened in his family, as if he was omnipotent.

And when he was young, he went out and was well-informed, and in his heart, his status has always been very high, and when I saw him again today, I found that he was really old.

"Alright, get back to work. He froze for a moment, shook his head, and cheered himself up, "It's going to get dark soon." ”

"Okay. ”

The folks, they are all very simple, and soon, they proved it.

A little later, when Luo Chen and the others had just cleaned up and made the bed, the three aunts and six women in the village came to the door with all kinds of things.

This one put down a chicken, the other put down a bundle of vegetables, and brought a small basket of eggs, and after a while, the house was full of things they sent, and there was no need to worry about dinner in the evening.

The third uncle even sent the third uncle and mother-in-law over and called them over for dinner, saying that the family had already killed the chickens, and the third uncle wanted to drink two cups with Luo Chen.

"Uncle, we won't go," Luo Chen declined their kindness, "Look, there are so many dishes here, we can make them ourselves, just right, they also want to feel the life in the countryside, you go back first, tomorrow, I will take them to your house to sit for a while." ”

It's good to talk about coaxing the third uncle and mother-in-law away, Luo Chen's heart is warm, in a big city, where can there be such treatment? Neighbors on the same floor, there are many people who don't know each other, let alone sit together to drink tea, chat, and eat.

By the end of the evening, the three of them had put everything in order and looked new inside and out.

"Come, Su Su and I are responsible for making the chicken, and Abi is responsible for cooking other dishes. Luo Chen assigned the task.

"Okay. The two girls smiled coquettishly, feeling that after coming here, the two of them were in a very good mood.

It seems that they are really uncomfortable in the big city, and I hope that they can find a suitable base here, so that they can settle down here and live the life they like.

Luo Chen and Cheng Lingsu came to the field behind the house, and first made a temporary earthen kiln with a hoe and shovel, hollowing out the upper and lower layers, putting food on the top layer and burning fire on the lower layer.

Then slaughter and wash a tender hen sent by the villagers, remove the internal organs, this is an authentic local chicken, the price outside is very expensive, very rare.

Use salt and five-spice powder to spread the chicken inside and out, then add ginger, shallots, garlic, onions, coriander, light soy sauce, honey, and cooking wine, marinate the chicken for an hour, wrap the chicken with a lotus leaf, and stuff ginger and shallots and other ingredients into the chicken's belly, and then paste a thick mud on the outside.

After the clay kiln is burned on a high fire, the wet clay is hardened, and then the wrapped chicken is stuffed in, the outlet is blocked, and the barbecue continues on high fire below, and after half an hour, it is turned to a simmer for an hour.

When night falls and the street lights in the village come on, the rooster is finally baked.

"It's coming. Luo Chen used pliers to pick out the mud ball, put it on a large plate, and brought it to the table that had already been placed outside the door.

On the table, Abi has already made a table of exquisite delicacies, all of which are sent by the villagers.

Stir-fried chicken offal with beans, braised eggplant, mushroom chicken soup, stir-fried cabbage, etc., fresh and fragrant.

"Bang. Luo Chen took out a bottle of red wine from the car, opened it, and poured it for the three of them.

Cheng Lingsu gently tapped the back of the knife on the mud ball, splitting it in half, revealing the lotus leaf inside. Remove the soil, peel off the lotus leaves, and suddenly, the aroma overflows, making the mouth water.

"It worked. Abi cheered.

"Yes, it's not easy to be a qualified foodie. Luo Chen sighed, this dish is not easy to cook for at least three hours.

"So, cherish this delicacy. Cheng Lingsu broke it slightly, and the two chicken legs were separated and put into Luo Chen and Ah Bi's bowls by her respectively.

"Sister Susu, you can eat this. Abi said embarrassedly with the chicken leg between his legs.

"Okay, I'll eat this. Cheng Lingsu broke off a chicken wing with a smile and shook it, "Whoever eats it is the same, you don't have to be polite." ”

"Oh. ”

Luo Chen tore half of the chicken leg in his hand and put it in Cheng Lingsu's bowl, "Those who see it have a share, eat it together, and I also want chicken wings." ”

"Okay. Cheng Lingsu's face was slightly red, he picked up the bowl and ate slowly.

"Here, let's have a drink. Luo Chen raised his glass and said, "The cool breeze, the moonlight is like water, the stars are brilliant, the frogs are sounding, and there are more beautiful colors, food, and wine, how can you not celebrate well?"

"Childe is right, the scenery here is much better than Yangcheng. Abi said softly, clinking glasses with Luo Chen gently, "It's very comfortable, it makes people open-minded." ”

"Perhaps, there are too many high-rise buildings in Yangcheng, it's too depressing, and you can see the stars in the sky here, and the mood is naturally much better. Cheng Lingsu clinked glasses with them and said with a smile.

"This is true or wrong. Luo Chen laughed and said, "We think this place is very beautiful, and other villagers will definitely not think that these stars are very beautiful, in their opinion, the city is comfortable."

This is the theory of relativity, the reason why we feel beautiful is that we have no pressure of life, we don't need to think about making money, children going to school, and we are materially satisfied, so we are particularly pursuing spiritual things, which is also a city person, who is obviously living a good life, but one by one yearns for the countryside and the air and starry sky there.

And the people who live here themselves will not have this feeling, desperately trying to get out, in essence, it is the same, the pursuit of things is different, hungry people, who will look up and sigh, the beauty of the starry sky. ”

"What Childe said makes sense. Abi said in a tone of adoration.

"Haha, I'm embarrassed about what you said. ”

"Hee-hee. ”

The moonlight is gentle, to the earth, sprinkled a layer of silver light veil, such a night sky, three young people, enjoying the food, beautiful scenery, hearty, crisp laughter, from time to time to fly into the night sky, so that the sky full of stars, all blinked.
