Chapter 404: Charcoal-grilled oysters
Song Xi cooked a pot of sweet potato rice, spread dozens of cakes with cornmeal, made a boiled pork slices in the morning of Lu Yu, which was slightly spicy, and also made a braised pork stewed potato, a braised pork stewed bamboo shoots, a braised crab, and a large pot of pork ribs and radish soup.
There are 10 vegetarian dishes, such as cold coriander, stir-fried yellow cabbage, stir-fried shredded pork with celery, scrambled eggs with leeks, and stir-fried spinach.
Several people worked together, and a hearty meal was ready.
When the food was served, Song Xi went to the courtyard again, lit the simple little stove made of mud, then put the barbed wire on it, put the washed oyster shells on it one by one, put some soaked vermicelli inside, and then put the soaked and washed oyster meat and scallop meat, and finally poured the seasoning on it.
Then just let the charcoal fire burn like this, and you don't have to worry about it, and when dinner is almost over, the vermicelli scallops and vermicelli oysters can be eaten.
"Everybody's eating!" Song Xi returned to the dinner table and was a little surprised to see that everyone did not move their chopsticks.
"Sister Xi has worked hard, so Sister Xi should eat first." Lu Yuchen said seriously.
Song Xi sat down next to Zhou Yi, picked up the chopsticks, looked around at everyone, and said, "There are not so many strange rules in my family, everyone is free, Comrade Zhao, you can taste it, and see if the food is made to your liking." β
Through chatting, Song Xi learned that the postman's surname is Zhao, Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty-two years old this year, he has married a wife and had children, there are two sons and a daughter in the family, the girl is the third, and the eldest and second are boys.
Her daughter-in-law is not in good health, she can't do heavy work, and she can't lift a few catties of food, and Comrade Zhao has to work and busy at home, although it is very hard, but she is also willing to eat, and it can be said that this is also a rare good comrade.
Lu Yuchen sandwiched a slightly spicy piece of boiled pork and fed it to his mouth, and the whole person was confused, "Sister Xi, this boiled pork slice is too delicious!" I've never had a poached pork fillet like this. β
A trace of pride flashed in Song Xi's eyes, her boiled meat slices were made with modern methods, with cornstarch and egg liquid in them, and the meat slices tasted particularly tender, not to mention that she also put a lot of spiritual spring water, isn't it a hundred times fresher?
Song Xi smiled and nodded, "It's delicious, let's eat more." After that, he also used a spoon to dig a big spoonful of boiled meat slices for Comrade Zhao, the main reason was that he was afraid that he would be embarrassed to eat it, and put it in his bowl, and he would not be able to eat it.
Today, the village divides the meat, everyone makes meat to eat, and the smell of meat has been wafting over Ping'an Village.
Comrade Zhao was about to leave after eating, because it would take him an hour or two to go back by bicycle, so he had to leave early.
Knowing that he had three children at home and his daughter-in-law was not in good health, Song Xi let him taste a few vermicelli scallops and vermicelli oysters, and also packed him a few vermicelli scallops and vermicelli oysters in an aluminum lunch box and asked him to take them back for his wife and children to taste.
In addition, he also loaded two large yellow croaker, dried oyster meat, scallop meat, abalone meat five catties each, two bottles of honey and grapefruit tea jam, which contained spiritual spring water, which could help his daughter-in-law and children regulate their bodies.
Radish, cabbage, coriander, yellow cabbage, garlic leaves...... Wait, there are all kinds of vegetables in the yard, each of which has a large handful, which should be enough for Comrade Zhao's family of five to eat for a few days.
"Thank you, comrade, thank you." Comrade Zhao's excited eyes were red, he didn't expect to meet such a good person in the mountains.
You know, his parents will not treat him like this, because his daughter-in-law is not in good health and can't help him, his parents don't like her at all, and they have asked him to divorce and remarry many times, and change to a daughter-in-law with a background and ability to help him in his career, but he refused, and also fell out with the family, and then moved out with the family.
Without the help of the family, the burden of a family of five is all on his shoulders, not to mention the tiredness, and there is no balance, the life of the family is bitter haha, he is a big man and he doesn't feel anything, after all, the days of the past few years are more bitter than now, he just feels that the daughter-in-law and the child are suffering.
"Comrade Zhao, our husband and wife have no relatives, the house is deserted and not lively during the New Year, if Comrade Zhao doesn't mind, when there is a holiday at the end of the year, bring your daughter-in-law and children to our house to play!" When Comrade Zhao was sent out of the door, Song Xi said again.
Comrade Zhao has a good character and is responsible for the family, so his daughter-in-law and children should not be bad, and Song Xi has no relatives and friends in this time and space, so he wants to meet more friends with good character and three views.
Comrade Zhao nodded, waved his hand to everyone, and pushed the bicycle away, because there was a slope and a small stream outside Song Xi's house, and he had to cross the small wooden bridge on the stream to ride a bicycle.
Seeing Comrade Zhao leave on a bicycle, everyone returned to the dinner table, and then ate, Song Xi asked, "Yuchen, this is about to be the New Year, you also want to go home to visit relatives, right?" I'll fill you with some dried seafood in a moment! β
"No, I'm not going home to visit my family." Lu Yuchen shook his head and refused, now that the house is occupied by Lu Yuxuan, her parents and fiancΓ© are occupied by Lu Yuxuan, what is she doing when she goes home?
Instead of going back to get angry, it is better to stay in Ping'an Village, out of sight and out of mind.
Song Xi guessed that Lu Yuchen's failure to go home might have something to do with the sister at home, so he said, "Since you don't go home, then come to our house for dinner then!" It just so happens that Brother Yi is injured, you come over and help me. β
"That's good!" Lu Yuchen readily agreed, when she faced Song Xi, she had a feeling of closeness, and she also wanted to be close to Song Xi in her heart, a capable and beautiful girl, who wouldn't want to be close!
"There are also Gu Beicheng and Xiangyang, if you don't want to stay in Zhiqing Point, you can also come to us during the day, but you have to go back to Zhiqing Point to rest at night, because our house is not so big." Song Xi glanced at Gu Beicheng and Xiang Yang again.
Because she knew that Ji Rufeng was going back to Beijing, she didn't say such things.
Everyone had eaten their fill, and then went to eat vermicelli scallops and vermicelli oysters, and the vermicelli scallops that had just been taken down from the barbed wire were not hot, but a few people kept stuffing them into their mouths as if they were not afraid of being hot, and kept saying that they were delicious.
Zhou Yi's leg was injured and he couldn't eat too greasy, so Song Xi roasted ten of them with little salt for him, because of the spiritual spring water, even if he didn't put anything, the seafood was not fishy at all.
After eating and drinking enough, and tidying up the house, Lu Yuchen, Ji Rufeng, and the four of them went back to Zhiqingdian, while Song Xi continued to boil water and dispose of the pheasants and ducks that Qian sent for the people.
Their feathers are drenched in boiling water before plucking.
