Chapter 145: Fireworks Show

When Xu Xiaoxiao and his party came to the exit of the forest, it was already dark.

She took the cart out of the space in the night, then carried the boar to the cart and tied it to the end of the cart with a rope.

Everything was ready, and she returned to the carriage with Chu Chu and Tie Zhu in her arms.

Liu Qiao'er drove the carriage all the way under the moon, and finally entered before the city gate closed.

In order to prevent bandits and troubles, Xin'an City built another high wall in front of the south gate earlier, and opened another gate under the high wall.

Merchants had to pass through the first gate to enter the south gate and finally to the capital.

After the carriage broke through the gate, it turned and sprayed down the path to the villa in Liujia Village.

When the villagers heard that someone had returned from hunting, they came to watch with curiosity, they had already seen the power of Xu Xiaoniao on the way to escape the famine, and when they saw the huge wild boar, everyone was still amazed.

"That's a few hundred pounds, right?"

"It's the first time I've seen such a huge wild boar."

"Xiaoxiao, didn't you hear from the locals that there are no wild things on the nearby hills?"

The villagers looked at Xu Xiaoxiao who was drinking tea curiously.

At this time, Liu Li was taking Aunt Li to the crowd, and when he saw the giant wild boar, he was also taken aback.

"At this time? Coming back from hunting in the mountains? ”

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at everyone after drinking tea and nodded, "Let's go to Hades Mountain to fight." ”

"Didn't the mountain cover the forest with mist? You didn't encounter anything strange when you went in? ”

Liu Lizheng had thought about organizing the old hunters in the village to go to Hades Mountain to hunt and prepare food for the winter, but when he heard that strange things would happen innocently to any hunter who entered Hades Mountain, he was worried about the safety of the villagers, so he dispelled this idea.

"Not for the time being, it's just that the fog is really heavy and it's easy to get lost." Xu Xiaoxiao said.

Everyone looked at each other after hearing this, and the heart that wanted to explore was instantly dispelled.

"Then what are you going to do with this wild boar?" Liu Li was circling the wild boar and sighed.

Xu Xiaoxiao thought about it, but still felt that according to the original plan, the pork would be refined first, and then the rest would be used to grill skewers and make some special dishes for everyone on the day of the food festival.

"Take a part of the refined pork first, and then let Aunt Li play the rest." She smiled and looked at Aunt Li.

Aunt Li pointed at herself in surprise, and repeated in disbelief, "You handed it over to me?" ”

"Yes, you can play to your heart's content, and you can give a share to the villagers when you do it."

After Xu Xiaoxiao finished explaining, he rubbed his sore arm and walked to his camp.

When the villagers heard this, they surrounded Aunt Li one after another, and reported all the dishes they wanted to eat.

Following.

Xu Xiaoxiao put the skinned wild boar meat on the cutting board, and Cheng Qing took rice paper and charcoal and took notes seriously.

"You first put the fat in the water, remember that you must be fat, not lean." Xu Xiaoxiao put the washed fat on the cutting board and cut it piece by piece.

After the fat was cut quickly, she burned the hot pot, and when the pot was red, she put the fat down, and there was a sizzling sound in the pot instantly.

"And then, the spatula stir-fried in the pot repeatedly, see? It's already starting to produce oil. ”

She raised her wrist slightly to let Cheng Qing see the situation in the pot.

Cheng Qing tiptoed to see the fat in the pot gradually dry out, and then the originally dry bottom of the pot began to accumulate oil and water.

Xu Xiaoxiao poured the refined pork into a large bowl, then poured the fried dried fat meat on another bowl, took out the white sugar from the seasoning cup on the side and sprinkled it in the fat jerky.

She weighed the bowl up and down a few times, then used her chopsticks to remove the pork jerky from the bowl.

"You try it, it's delicious." She handed the pork jerky to Cheng Qing.

Cheng Qing has never liked to eat fatty meat, she hid back in disgust, glanced at Xu Xiaoxiao, closed her eyes and stuffed the pork jerky into her mouth.

In an instant, she opened her eyes in surprise, "It's delicious, it doesn't have a greasy taste, it's crispy,"

"yes, I like to mix soy sauce with millet peppers." Xu Xiaoxiao poured the pork jerky into another bowl, then served it with soy sauce and chili peppers, stirred it a few times, and ate it in a big gulp.

Cheng Qing licked the white sugar at the corner of his mouth, picked up the pork, and pondered carefully, "Is this oil?" ”

"Yes, when it gets cold, it will become a paste, and when we were young, we would dig a small spoonful of bibimbap and eat it, and it was fragrant." Xu Xiaoxiao said while eating the dried pork.

Cheng Qing smiled and put the bowl on the stove, then dug up his sleeves and began to refine the remaining fat.

At this time, Aunt Li took her little assistant into the back kitchen.

"It's so fragrant, Qing'er, what are you doing?" Aunt Li smiled and took out the pork she wanted to use from the refrigerator on the side.

Cheng Qing smiled and distributed the pork jerky in his hand to everyone present.

After eating, everyone was amazed, and the special Aunt Li, as if she had discovered a new world, stopped working and concentrated on pulling the pork jerky in the bowl.

Xu Xiaoxiao took the juice and handed it to Aunt Li, "Slow down, don't choke, how are you going to arrange this meat?" ”

Aunt Li swallowed the pork jerky and said with a smile, "I plan to make some bacon, and then make some butcher shops." ”

"Yes, apply what you have learned, and arrange it to the fullest." Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and raised his hand to praise it.

After dealing with the back kitchen, she began to prepare a fireworks display for publicity.

Chu Qing received the message and took the time to take the officers and soldiers to Liujia Village, and it happened that Xu Xiaoxiao took out a large barrel of fireworks that had been prepared from the storage room where the sundries were stacked.

"People, I've brought people." Chu Qing stared curiously at the cylinder in Xu Xiaoxiao's hand, "What is this?" ”

Xu Xiaoxiao happily hugged the cylinder in his arms, "This is a fireworks show for propaganda." ”

"Fireworks show? We also use fireworks. Chu Qing nodded after hearing that it was fireworks.

"No, no, it's not a fireworks, how can I say it, you'll see it tonight."

Xu Xiaoxiao smiled mysteriously and handed the cylinders to the soldiers outside the warehouse one by one.

As night falls, the autumn days are relatively short, and the sky quickly darkens.

Xu Xiaoxiao took Chu Qing and the officers and soldiers to the hillside, and the villagers had already moved a small bench to sit on the top of the mountain.

Under the command of the officers and men, more than a dozen fireworks were neatly arranged, each standing on the side of the cylinder, and the fire fold was in his hand.

Shopkeeper Huang climbed to the top of the hill with his wife and daughter before the fireworks were launched, and he said breathlessly, "It's finally here." ”

"Shopkeeper Huang came over like this, leaving a place for you." Shopkeeper Zhao got up and waved his hand with a smile.

Shopkeeper Huang looked at the position of Shopkeeper Zhao, and there were many vacant seats next to him in addition to his family.

"Here we are." With a wave of his hand, the shopkeeper Huang led his family to the vacant seat.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked around and found that the personnel had arrived, so she took out the small red flag and waved it vigorously.

After seeing the red flag, the officers and men opened the fire fold and lit the fuse, and then left in an orderly manner.

"Boom".

The fireworks suddenly burst into the sky, meteor-like sparks fell into the sky, and colorful fireworks unfolded in the sky to reflect the dark night.

The crowd tilted their heads and screamed in amazement.
