Chapter 211: A good fragrant burnt brine

Xia Mu returned home with a calm face.

As soon as I entered the yard, I picked up the broom behind the door and swept it around.

Seeing this, Xia Youzhi hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the broom from Xia Mu's hand.

She laughed and said, "Mom, why are you so angry?" ”

Xia Mu glanced at Xia You.

Then he took the low stool next to him and sat down.

She didn't have a good breath and said, "Your aunt is letting the villagers poke the backbone of our family." ”

The more Xia Mu thought about it, the more angry she became, and she got up again and wanted to take the broom in Xia Youzhi's hand.

Xia Youyi turned sideways and dodged.

She smiled and shook her head.

Her mom would lose her temper now.

Seeing this, Xia Mu wondered, "Zhizhi, what are you laughing at?" ”

Xia Youzhi curled the corners of his lips and teased, "Mom, you are different now than before." ”

I used to think about forbearance.

Although I still tolerate it now, I am not as unconditionally angry as before.

Hearing this, Mother Xia glanced at Father Xia angrily.

"I've been putting up with it before, and I don't necessarily think people remember you." Xia Mu complained a little.

Father Xia looked at Mother Xia's face, so he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word.

He sighed.

He carried his belongings into the house.

Alas.

It's him who is sorry for Cuilian.

But for his eldest brother's family, he is a big man, and he can't say anything.

Xia's mother glanced at Xia's father's back, and the grievances in her heart became even stronger.

"Mom, it's good now, don't think about the past, we will continue to live better."

Xia Youzhi put the broom aside, stepped forward, and hugged Xia Mu lightly.

Xia Mu was stunned for a moment.

Immediately, he gently patted Xia Youzhi's back.

The grievances in my heart dissipated a lot.

"Oh, Mom, thank you."

Xia Mu said with some sadness.

Originally, the eldest son's college tuition, the family has been worried.

If it weren't for this, it is estimated that it would be difficult for the eldest son to go to school.

Not to mention being able to live such a good life now.

She couldn't have imagined it before.

Indeed, life is better now than before, what else is she complaining about?

When Xia Youzhi heard this, he smiled and said, "Mom, the days ahead are still long, and then is the time for you to enjoy happiness." ”

After speaking, Xia Youzhi glanced at the house, and then turned his head to look at Xia Mu.

She whispered, "Mom, don't blame my dad for family matters, my dad can't do anything about this." ”

If there is discord in the family because of these things, it will be more than worth the loss.

Hearing this, Xia Mu glared at her with disgust.

"Am I like that?"

She's been living a handful of years, can she still not understand?

It's just that sometimes there are some resentments.

"Yes, yes, my mom is the greatest." Xia Youzhi playfully answered.

"Hey, you kid!"

Xia Mu smiled and poked Xia Youzhi's head.

Most of the anger in my heart has disappeared.

"Then I'll go find my dad and see the kiln."

Xia Youzhi's head was pressed against Xia Mu's shoulder.

"Let's go."

Xia Mu smiled and raised her hand to pat her face.

They're coming back because of this, so don't delay.

"Okay."

Xia Youzhi nodded and walked into the house.

"Dad."

Xia Youzhi shouted in the living room.

"Hey, come to the kitchen."

Xia Guomin answered in the kitchen.

Hearing this, Xia Youzhi turned around and entered the kitchen.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, he saw Xia Guomin pointing to the kiln on the side with a smile.

"Young, look, does this meet the requirements?"

Xia Youzhi's eyes moved.

Next to the stove, there is a kiln made of yellow clay.

The soil is still relatively bright yellow, and it doesn't have the same dark color after a long time.

The kiln is built upwards and is half a man high.

More than half of the back is wrapped in yellow mud.

In the middle, according to Xia Youzhi's requirements, a stainless steel pole was left.

Xia Youzhi saw this kiln and nodded with satisfaction.

"Dad, that's what I'm going to do, and you're doing a good job." Xia Youzhi affirmed.

As he spoke, he stepped forward and touched it again.

Well, the thickness is enough.

Hearing this, Xia Guomin finally put his mind at ease.

He smiled innocently, "Just meet the requirements." ”

"Hmm. Dad, you put the charcoal first. Xia Youzhi smiled, "I'll go and bring the duck and pork belly I prepared this morning." ”

Today, she plans to try roast duck and barbecued pork first.

But she did it in the South.

Roasted marinade may be on the sweet side.

I want to try it out for a while, and then see the feedback.

Father Xia nodded and put the carbon on the side in the kiln.

Seeing this, Xia Youzhi walked out of the kitchen.

Today, Gu Tingshen and Xia Guomin came back with three bags of things.

In addition to the things for Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang, the remaining bag was the malt milk essence that her mother bought for her grandmother and the small snacks she brought back.

The other bag is two ducks and a few pork belly.

Today, she's going to try to do this first.

Xia Youzhi took the bag from the living room and glanced at the courtyard again.

Her mom was tidying up the yard.

Looking at the smile on his face, it seems that his mood has recovered a lot.

Xia Youzhi walked into the kitchen with confidence.

When I came out again, it was already dark.

Accompanied by the smell of the kitchen.

"Young Zhi, is this roast duck ready?"

Xia's mother had just come back from Huang Lianzhi's house, and when she entered the door, she saw Xia Youzhi walking out with a "gray face".

Dinner over there tonight, she went over and did it.

No matter how much I hate Huang Lianzhi, but between the concubines, they still have to be harmonious.

Otherwise, it will show the villagers a joke.

Xia Youzhi smiled and nodded.

Because of making roast duck, his body was stained with a lot of ash.

Even on his cheeks, there were a few more traces of charcoal.

"No wonder it smells so good." Xia Mu smiled.

Immediately, he stepped forward and dusted off Xia Youzhi's body.

"Mom, I saw a few pieces of water cake in the living room, has Grandma Liu been here?" Xia Youzhi wondered.

"Yes, I came, she saw that you were busy, so she didn't call you." Xia Mu smiled, "She went to your uncle's house and told me, I asked her and your grandfather Liu not to cook tonight, and to eat at our house." ”

There are only two roast ducks and a few barbecued pork.

Their family will definitely not be able to finish eating.

"This meal is almost ready, I'll call you both. Hey, where's your dad? ”

Xia Mu said and glanced into the room.

"He's still in the kitchen, helping me watch the charcoal fire." Xia Youzhi smiled.

She felt hot, so she ran out to cool off.

The faster the brine is completed, the more you need to see the time.

This affects the colour and meat quality of the marinade.

So I can only let her dad watch.

As soon as Xia Youzhi finished speaking, she heard Xia Guomin calling her in the kitchen.

"Mom, I'll go check it out first."

After speaking, Xia Youzhi hurriedly ran into the kitchen.

Seeing this, Xia Mu also hurried to follow.

The kitchen is filled with a strong aroma.

Xia Mu stood on the threshold and looked in, and unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Next to the kiln, Xia Youzhi was standing.

Her eyes were fixed on the roast duck and she had a special long-handled fork in her hand.

It has to be more than a meter.

I saw her skillfully flip the roast duck back and forth.

"So, what's going on?"

Xia Mu stepped forward and stood beside Xia Youzhi.

Xia Youzhi turned his head sideways, glanced at Xia's mother, and said with a smile, "Mom, it's okay." ”

Xia Mu looked into the kiln.

A closer look reveals that the skins of the two ducks have been roasted to a golden brown, and the oil on the duck skins is dripping down.

The barbecued pork grilled next to it is also very beautiful in color.

"Lao Xia, hurry up and get two pots for the child."

Mother Xia smiled and shouted to Father Xia, who was stunned.

Hearing this, Father Xia came back to his senses.

He smiled innocently and took out two large stainless steel basins from the cupboard next to him.

Xia Youzhi took the fork and forked the roast duck down.

"This duck is so fragrant." Xia Mu couldn't help but smile when she looked at it.

Xia Youzhi smiled and put the rest of the barbecued pork into another large basin.

"Okay, Mom and Dad, you can take it to Uncle's house."

Xia Youzhi smiled and said to Xia's father and Xia's mother, and wiped his hand with the cloth on the side.

Father Xia nodded.

He took the heavy pot and went out.

"Okay, this thing must be greedy." Xia Mu smiled, "You also quickly wipe your face." ”

Xia Youzhi nodded.

"Okay, I'll take Uncle Zhang's things to them first."

Saying that, Xia Youzhi walked to the living room.

Otherwise, I'll have to go back to town early tomorrow morning.

What to do with this thing?

"I have already taken your old Uncle Zhang's things, and I have asked them to eat together." Xia Mu hurriedly stopped with a smile.

"Took it?" Xia Youzhi was surprised.

Mom's speed is really good.

Xia Mu nodded, and then sighed.

"However, the old couple is reluctant to come over for dinner."

Xia Youzhi didn't say anything.

Old Uncle Zhang and Old Aunt Zhang's personalities were originally unwilling to trouble people.

"By the way, after you wash your face in a while, go and call your Uncle Gu and your Grandpa Gu."

Xia Mu was just about to leave, but turned around and came back.

"Uncle Gu?"

Xia Youzhi took the melon and scooped the water.

"Yes, Shenzi helped our family a lot today, and the ox cart that came back in the afternoon didn't confiscate our money, so you should shout." Xia Mu said.

Immediately, she took a pot of barbecued pork and walked out, and did not forget to turn around and tell Xia Youzhi.

"Let's go."

"Hmm."

Xia Youzhi snorted.

She washed her face, walked out of the yard, and locked the door.

From the vegetable garden behind her house, she didn't go far to see the Gu family's old house.

Xia Youzhi walked away for a while.

Finally saw the yellow mud house.

After not coming back for so long, one of the low houses collapsed.

It may have been washed away by the autumn rains some time ago.

Just thinking about it, Xia Youzhi had already walked along the path to the courtyard.

In the yard, rhubarb was tethered to the corner, lazy.

Seeing Xia Youzhi, it stood up with a "sigh".

Xia Youzhi's face turned pale.

remembered the scene when he and Xia Qinglin went up the mountain to cut bamboo and were torn by rhubarb.

She just wanted to shout Gu Tingshen, but Rhubarb seemed to recognize her.

After staring for a moment, he turned his head back and lay back.

Seeing this, Xia Youzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

She slowly opened the bamboo fence and walked into the yard.

As soon as I approached the yellow mud house, I vaguely heard a conversation coming.

Like ...... Coming from behind the house.

"There's no way I'm going to marry her."

The voice was stoic and a little cold.

Xia Youzhi recognized that it was Gu Tingshen's voice.

"If you don't marry her, who else do you want to marry? This is my son, your grandfather has set it, no matter what, you have to marry! ”

Grandpa Gu's angry and strange voice came.

Xia You's one snorted.

She knew what they were talking about.

It must be said that Old Man Gu and Old Man Song were married.

She was reborn and came to Gu Tingshen because of the theft of her passbook.

They were arguing about it.

But at the time she was watching the joke.

Right now......
