No.97 A piece of ham meat

After thinking about it, Wang Mingyuan felt that this was a problem that he might face at any time.

As for the coping method, Wang Mingyuan may have just played the idea of temporarily fooling around at the beginning, but now it is different, and he feels that there is no problem in dealing with it.

Let's explore Chen Jinxue's tone first.

I prepared the meal early at noon, left some for Han Xiaoling, and after eating by myself, I wrote a message on the table and asked her to come back and heat it up by herself, so she cut a piece of ham and pedaled three rounds, preparing to go to Chen Jinxue's house while eating lunch.

When Wang Mingyuan rushed to Chen Jinxue's house in Chenjiagou, he met Chen Jinxue and his mother-in-law Jiang Caizhen washing vegetables in the yard.

"Auntie, is the captain at home?"

Wang Mingyuan carried the ham meat and looked in through the low courtyard wall.

"Yo, it's Xiao Wang......" Jiang Caizhen looked up and saw that it was Wang Mingyuan, and immediately got up with a smile, wiped his hands on his apron, and walked a few steps to open the door: "Your uncle, I went out early this morning, and I didn't see anyone else when I went to work in the morning, and I didn't say hello to us, so I didn't know what to do." ”

"Ah......h

Wang Mingyuan didn't expect that he would pounce.

"Come in and sit, come in and sit." Jiang Caizhen greeted warmly.

Hearing the sound, five or six daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law in her house came out from everywhere, looking at Wang Mingyuan's eyes a little strange.

Wang Mingyuan followed into the courtyard and handed the ham in his hand to Jiang Caizhen: "Auntie, this is the ham given to me by my relatives, bring some to share with you to taste." ”

"This ...... What's so embarrassing about that? Jiang Caizhen said as she took the piece of ham: "Are you looking for your uncle?" ”

"It's a little thing."

"Then you have to wait, I guess it's time for dinner, and he should be back."

"Okay, I'll just wait outside." Wang Mingyuan nodded, looked at a chair and a small table under the big peach tree on the side of the courtyard, which was usually a cool place, and immediately walked over and sat down.

Soon, Chen Jinxue's son Chen Youfei politely brought a cup of tea, and then went into the kitchen with a few younger siblings and a few daughters-in-law.

The eyes of the family were all attracted by the fat and thin ham brought by Wang Mingyuan.

"Mom, otherwise, I'll fry some at noon." Chen Youfei swallowed his saliva and whispered.

"What to eat, forgot the lamb from the last time? After being eaten by us, what kind of fire has your father become? Jiang Caizhen glared at her son: "Let's wait for your father to come back." ”

"When Dad's old stubbornness comes back, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat...... Why don't you just eat a piece of meat, it's fine. Chen Youfei said dissatisfiedly: "I can't eat meat a few times this year, I am very greedy, but I heard Chen Youdong say, the last time they went to patrol the border, they ate this ham meat, it was like eating dragon meat, it was very showy, let's taste it, eat it in the stomach, and it's hard to say anything when my father comes back." ”

Hearing this, the rest of the people also nodded, looking at Jiang Caizhen with expectant eyes.

Jiang Caizhen hesitated for a while: "Then eat...... A little, only a little, but don't get it all, your father didn't eat the mutton last time. ”

"I know, I know, Mom, you go to the side to rest, we'll cook this dish!"

As soon as he heard Jiang Caizhen's answer, Chen Youfei became extremely diligent, and as soon as he looked at him, several children, including his daughter-in-law, sent Jiang Caizhen out of the kitchen half-pushing and half-pulling, and closed the kitchen door by the way, and immediately began to help one by one.

said it was a little bit, but it became Chen Youfei's operation, took over the meat washed by his daughter-in-law, and directly dried most of it.

It didn't take long for the rich aroma of fried ham to waft out and escape everywhere.

Now, after a short time, there were several people outside the courtyard wall, including children and adults, and even a few were eating with big bowls.

Jiang Caizhen, who was holding some pigweed to feed the pigs, soon felt that something was wrong, why did so many people come at once?

2k

"Auntie, what are you making delicious, so fragrant?"

"I know this, it's ham meat that is fried, I have eaten it in Wang Mingyuan's place, and the taste is amazing."

Chen Youdong was also there, and he quickly looked at Wang Mingyuan, who was sitting under the peach tree: "Brother, are you also there?" ”

Wang Mingyuan nodded: "It's a little trivial for me to come to the captain...... By the way, now hurry up and take the time to take your dried locusts together, and I will take them back to Zhangjiaao, and I will enter the city again early tomorrow morning. ”

"Howler!" Chen Youdong answered, turned around and went back to find Chen Jiawang.

The rest of the people were still lying on the wall and watching, talking a lot.

"Let's go, let's go, all climb the wall of my yard, what are you doing here?" Jiang Caizhen couldn't stand it anymore, and made a straight face.

The host's family spoke, and the crowd was not good enough to join in the fun, so they had to disperse.

Of course, Jiang Caizhen also smelled the fragrance, and finally knocked on the kitchen, and saw several of her babies, each of whom had oily relish, and then looked at the meat that had not yet come out of the pot...... It's just a matter of eating it.

"One by one, the family is still outside, and it is too unreasonable to fish it directly!" She glared at a few people: "I told you to fry less, why didn't you listen?" So much at once. ”

"Mom, it's true, it's delicious!" Chen Youfei took another piece from the pot and put it in his mouth and chewed it, his face full of enjoyment.

"It smells good...... Is it really that delicious? Looking at her son like that, Jiang Caizhen was also a little moved.

"You'll know if you taste a piece!" Chen Youfei said, stirred in the pot a few times with a spatula, and took a piece and sent it to Jiang Caizhen's mouth.

Jiang Caizhen hesitated for a moment, embarrassed to let her son feed her, so she took it, tore a small piece and chewed it in her mouth, and soon, her face was full of joy: "It's indeed better than our smoked bacon." ”

Seeing that her little daughter was quietly reaching out to get another piece, she stretched out her hand and retracted it: "Wait until you serve the table to eat, it's all for you, and you'll be embarrassed to ask someone to eat after a while?" Get me out......"

drove a group of children out, leaving only the daughter-in-law to help, and the two quickly fried the dishes and served them on the table.

"Xiao Wang, it's time to eat!" He greeted Wang Mingyuan at the door.

"No, Auntie, I only came after eating, and now my stomach is still full, you can just eat it yourself, don't worry about me."

"Coming out of Zhangjiaao, after walking so far, you should be hungry again when you are full, don't be so polite, just like at home, come and eat with us!"

"No, auntie, I'm not hungry!"

"Alright then, we'll leave you alone!"

"Good!"

Jiang Caizhen saw that Wang Mingyuan really didn't come, so she hurriedly beckoned her children to the table: "If you don't come, even if you don't come, if you have one less mouth, everyone may be able to share two more pieces of meat, hurry up and eat, your father's, I already left it just now." ”

Several people nodded one after another, and the fast son beckoned to the meat bowl like a bayonet.

Wang Mingyuan was a little impatient waiting, seeing that the family was about to go to work after eating, and he didn't see Chen Jinxue returning, so he couldn't stay any longer, so he said hello to Jiang Caizhen and rode a three-wheeler to Chen Jiawang's house.

The dried locusts from the homes of several militiamen during this time have all been sent to Chen Jiawang, and Wang Mingyuan weighed several people separately, paid money, and asked a few people to help load the three wheels.

"Do any of you know where the captain has gone?" Wang Mingyuan casually asked a few people.

"Wherever he goes." Someone said very annoyedly: "In the past few days, I am annoyed when I see his crooked old face, and I haven't delayed going to work, catching some locusts is like killing him." ”

"That's it, Zhangjiaao has arrested so many of those families, I don't see him to say and take care of it, just staring at what we are doing, I almost wanted to give him two hoes that day......"

Several people talked about it, and there was a kind of anger that the financial route was cut off.

One by one, they were stimulated by Zhang Shouzhong and them, and now that they have got the money again, they are becoming more and more red-eyed.

One by one, they swore to be low-key, but now, what is still half a low-key?

Wang Mingyuan can understand their desire for money, but no matter how it is, they should know the severity.

It's too reckless!

Don't look at living in a big village, compared to the families in Zhangjiaao, it is much worse.

Is it because in a big village, is it used to intrigue at ordinary times? It is far from being as authentic and simple as those in Zhangjiaao.

Wang Mingyuan shook his head, rode away, and took a look at Chen Jinxue who hadn't come back yet, and he went straight back to Zhangjiaao.

Things, let's settle it when we come back from 2023.
