Chapter 17: Bonfires

-------------------------------------

Aunt Li set up the tent, and everyone worked together to move the tent to a more spacious flat ground, and the weather was completely dark at this time.

Today found the water source and hunted the wild boar Liu Huzi knew that everyone was happy and did not mention that he continued to hurry, and followed Liu Mengzhou to deal with the wild boar, more than 500 catties of wild boar, they only took out a part of the cooking, and the rest of each household was evenly distributed, although the number is not much, but it can temporarily solve the food and clothing in the next few days.

The villagers who received the pork thanked them again and again, not to mention how happy they were, and everyone thought that they would not live to tomorrow, and they could not imagine that there was not only water, but also meat to eat.

"Come, everybody, these tarpaulins are tents that have been collected and sewn from you, and you can sleep under them tonight." Aunt Li invited the villagers to watch the two giant tents.

Villagers heard the call and looked up, constantly circling the tent, while the children were curious to touch the steel pipes.

"Later, I will let people divide the area and rest according to the location, and the place is not big, don't mess up the rules." Li Zheng Liu Hu suppressed the joy in his heart, took the cigarette stick bag, hunched his back, and stepped forward to explain.

The villagers smiled and nodded, and went back to pack their bags and move under the tents.

Xu Xiaoxiao watched everyone happily hugging each other from a distance, her red lips pursed a smile, and she also laughed, for some reason there was a kind of warmth in her heart that she couldn't say before, and the happy atmosphere made her feel at home for the first time.

With the tent, the children no longer have to endure the troubles of morning dew at night, and sometimes it even drizzles at night, and they have nowhere to hide, so they have to endure holding the child in their arms and resisting the drizzle with their bodies.

The fragrance wafted from the kitchen, and everyone was curious to follow the fragrance to find food, Liu Qiaoer's stomach was already growling, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva when she smelled this damn familiar taste, she hadn't eaten braised rabbit meat for ten years.

She trotted to Xu Xiaoxiao's side with Chu Chu and Tie Zhu, put the two children down, took out two pieces from the hot bowl and put them in her mouth, the fragrant and tender meat juice entered her mouth, stimulating the sense of taste, and the spicy taste instantly swept the entire mouth.

"It's so delicious, I'm going to cry." Liu Qiaoer was puffing in her mouth while eating, and she couldn't chew normally because it was too hot.

"Chu Chu, Tie Zhu hurriedly washed and stewed pigeon soup for you." Xu Xiaoxiao took out two white porcelain stew cups from the steamer.

The two children can't lose weight, otherwise the point of her staying here will not exist, she wants to raise Chu Chu and Tiezhu for nothing, and build a new home for them in the future to avoid chaos.

Liu Dahua followed behind, and saw Liu Qiao'er slapping her back in spite of her image: "Is a starving ghost reincarnated?" I can't wait for a while. ”

Glared at Liu Qiao'er and hugged Chu Chu and Tiezhu to the recycled water and scooped a small spoonful of water to wash his hands, the recycled water is the water from washing vegetables and rice to be reused, in this era of water shortage, I can't wait to use the water over and over again.

The wild boar meat also came out of the pot, plus a small number of ingredients, the fragrance came to the nose, Liu Mengzhou and others carried a few large iron pots on the fire and continued to cook, and the villagers were divided into several teams to surround themselves.

Xu Xiaoxiao also divided the rabbit meat and pheasant meat into several parts and took them to each team, and finally sat next to Liu Dahua.

"Grandma Liu, this freshly stewed pigeon soup, you, Chu Chu and Tie Zhu each drink a little to nourish their bodies." Xu Xiaoxiao put two stew cups next to Liu Dahua.

She took out the bib and brought it to Chu Chu and Tiezhu, the cold-faced Tiezhu was unwilling to wear a bib with a jingle cat pattern, and as soon as he put it on, he ripped it off, Xu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to give up.

After that, he took out a wooden bowl and scooped a bowl of pigeon soup from the stew pot, and after blowing it cool, he fed it to Tiezhu one by one, and Grandma Liu was in charge of Chu Chu.

'Drink more, this one has nutrients added to it.' Xu Xiaopi smiled and put the spoon in front of the iron pillar with her lips closed, and forcibly held back her anger and transmitted the message to the iron pillar translator through her consciousness.

Tie Zhu opened his mouth and drank it in a big gulp, and in less than a while, the entire bowl of pigeon soup was drunk.

After the villagers sat down one after another, Liu Huzi opened the lid of the iron pot, and a fragrance greeted him, the wild boar's head that had been stuffy for nearly a quarter of an hour was soft and glutinous, and the soup wrapped the pork, and the soup alone soaked in rice could eat several bowls of rice.

Xu Xiaoxiao's fried rabbit meat has already been half eaten by Liu Qiaoer, but the remaining delicate rabbit meat attracts everyone's attention, and the fragrance stimulates everyone's taste.

Although the villagers were already hungry, and each pair of eyes were staring directly at the meat in the iron pot, but without Liu Huzi's words, everyone did not dare to move the chopsticks, Liu Huzi asked the villagers sitting in the same seat to hand over the bowls, and distributed the meat in the iron pot in everyone's bowls one by one.

"Xiaoxiao, what did you put in it? Why have I never eaten such a delicious dish. Liu Laohu munched on the pork, and asked while eating with a mouthful full of oil.

"I just put some ingredients from my hometown to keep the freshness of the food itself, so it tastes very tender." Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Liu Laohu, who was eating meat, and couldn't help but laugh and said.

In her time, there was no such complicated practice, it was all simple light meals, and she also secretly consulted previous books and made them a few times in her spare time, and found that it was better than a light meal, so she cooked it herself.

After a round, everyone's bowl was full of meat, and they could add it after eating, and everyone devoured and concentrated on eating, only Liu Qiaoer bumped Xu Xiaoxiao's arm and threw her eyes to suggest.

Xu Xiaoxiao, who knew it in her heart, took out the beer from her side, the beer was packed in a wooden barrel, not afraid of being discovered, she poured a glass for Liu Qiaoer, Liu Qiaoer took a sip, grinning and sighing.

"It's so refreshing, it's so delicious."

Xu Xiaoxiao also poured herself a glass and clinked glasses with Liu Qiaoer, and the two drank nearly three or four bottles of beer back and forth.

Liu Huzi saw Xu Xiaoxiao drinking cup by cup, and asked curiously, "What are you drinking?" It tastes so good. ”

Liu Qiao'er, who was slightly drunk, handed the beer in the wooden cup to Liu Huzi: "Come, uncle, taste it, good things." ”

Liu Huzi took the wooden cup and poured it on his cup, smelled it, it was the taste of wheat, took a sip, sweet with bitterness, but the aftertaste was endless, drank a few sips in succession, the taste gradually adapted to the bitterness, and it was actually better than the old wine.

"It's a good thing." Liu Huzi laughed with a wooden cup, never thinking that he would be able to drink such a delicious wine in his lifetime.

Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and poured a glass for the other men in the same seat, everyone was equally curious and smelled, and then tried carefully, and applauded after the taste was used to the bitterness.

The fire is blazing, the flames of the fire are burning more and more, some villagers are singing and dancing around the fire, and children are frolicking on the side, a happy scene.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at it dumbfounded, it was the first time she had dinner with more than five people, and it was also the first time she had a drink in an open-air place, and her mood at the moment was difficult to describe in words.

"Hey, if it weren't for the appearance of the little girl, where would there be such a good life." After drinking a few glasses, Liu Huzi shook his body and muttered to himself.

"What nonsense, when you're drunk, go back and rest." Liu Dahua hugged the sleeping Chu Chu and Tie Zhu and glared at Liu Huzi with a red face.

Liu Dahua didn't say anything anymore, she was afraid that she would attract hatred to Xu Xiaoxiao, and now she was being held to a high place, if there was a slight dissatisfaction with everyone, wouldn't she be scolded to death, so that she would not let Xu Xiaoxiao become the object of everyone's support.

"Yes, yes, drunk, drunk." Seeing this, Aunt Li hurriedly rounded the field and covered Liu Huzi's mouth to prevent him from saying anything that was hated.

Xu Xiaoxiao watched Grandma Liu speak for herself, and there was an indescribable warmth in her heart, she understood the reason why Grandma Liu was angry, and it was because she understood that she felt warm in her heart, and it was good to be protected.

In addition to continuing to eat and drink, the other women led their children back to the tent to rest, the meat in the pot had already been eaten, and even the soup was packed and taken away by the women who left first.

Liu Dahua and Xu Xiaoxiao walked to the tent with Chu Chu and the iron pillar respectively, and Liu Qiao'er rubbed her head and followed behind her after she woke up.

Not far behind them, there was Aunt Zhao, who held the packaged soup and pouted disdainfully.
