Chapter 24, Delicious
Willow Alley.
The midday sun danced through the treetops, casting circles of flickering light and shadow, shining on the ground, and it became a piece of broken gold.
Fang Rui came to the third lady's house.
The girl pouted her buttocks, held a straw in her hand, and poked the ant's nest in the corner of the wall.
Playing alone, enjoying yourself.
"Huh?" Fang Rui shouted.
"Brother Ari?!"
Nan Nan turned her head to look at it, quickly got up, faced Fang Rui, jumped down happily, and two sweet dimples appeared on her cheeks: "Brother Rui, what are you looking for your mother?" Also: Brother Rui, what are you holding in your hand? ”
"My family made chicken and mushroom stew, bring some to your family to try...... Where's your mother? ”
Fang Rui squatted down and pinched her soft little face with his left hand, which was not holding the bowl.
"My mother is washing her hair in the house!"
As she spoke, she glanced at the bowl, and suddenly exclaimed, "Wow! meat, and mushrooms...... Brother Rui, is this really for my family? ”
She swallowed her saliva, like Fang Ling, her eyes were a little straightened.
"Is that still fake?!"
Fang Rui smiled and directly handed her the small half bowl of chicken: "That's it, it's the same for you, take it, and after eating, just send the bowl over." ”
As he spoke, he wiped the head of the balls and turned to leave.
- There is still a sumptuous meal waiting for him at home, Fang Rui doesn't go back, Fang Xue and Fang Ling can't move their chopsticks. Besides, there is also Uncle Zaohuai's family to send it!
"Brother Rui!"
At this moment, a gentle voice sounded behind him.
Fang Rui turned his head to look.
The third lady came out of the house, her freshly washed long hair stretched, exuding a moist scent, and her fair and tender skin shone in the noon sun, curling and curling.
As she approached, an orchid-like fragrance suddenly spread, mixed with the refreshing smell of soap beans, refreshing and sultry.
In this era, there are such beautiful and moving people! ’
Fang Rui sighed in his heart.
The three ladies have a good appearance and delicate and fair skin, and they can be regarded as middle and upper in their previous lives.
Of course, the most charming thing about her is the charm of a mature woman as full as a peach, swaying and making people want to take a bite.
Fang Rui's concentration was good, and he didn't lose his mind again, but just looked at it appreciatively...... Well, Yukiko.
The third lady was aware, staring at Fang Rui's eyes with a smile, and looked at him off the line of sight, only then did she skip this stubble, and joked: "In the middle of the morning, I smelled the aroma from your house, ticking the gluttonous insects, if it wasn't for Brother Rui, you took the initiative to send it, I would take the girl over to fight the autumn breeze!" ”
"The third sister laughed, I forgot who I am, and I won't forget the third sister's family." Fang Rui touched his nose.
"Mother, look! The chicken sent by Brother Ari ......" ran over happily.
"Be careful."
The third lady held Nannan, took the small bowl in her hand, glanced at it, looked up and said in surprise: "Chicken, mushrooms...... Brother Rui, these are all good things, it's not easy to get, right? ”
Rao is her, and she feels a little surprised.
After all, the year is here, even her family is a little difficult, she can save some wheat bran, sorghum noodles are not difficult to eat, occasionally mixed with some stick noodles, but there is also no oil and water.
"Okay." Fang Rui snorted and didn't elaborate.
The third lady wisely stopped asking, but said, "Thank you!" ”
……
After sending it to Sanniangzi's house, Fang Rui went out again and went to Uncle Zaohuai's house.
It's not as small as sending half a bowl to Sanniangzi's house, and this time, it will be less than that given to Uncle Zaohuai's family: a chicken head, two or three pieces of chicken, soup, and some mushrooms.
- Sanniangzi's family and Uncle Zaohuai's family, although they are both relatively close to the Fang family, there are also differences. Uncle Zaohuai's house is just the love that I said two days ago; And the Sanniangzi family, since Fang Rui's crossing, the personal exchanges and traffic exchanges with the Fang family are far from being comparable to the former.
Uncle Zaohuai's house.
It was noon, it was time to eat, and in the hall, in front of Uncle Zaohuai, Xianglin's sister-in-law, and Ah Huai, there was a bowl of wheat bran paste in front of each of them.
The wheat bran is not thick, very thin, and even, it can be said that it is light, and there are a few willow leaves floating on it.
When a family eats it, it is like a delicacy and cherishes it very much.
Although his family has the help of the Fang family, he can't eat and drink nonsense, and he has to live a good life. Even if Fang Rui said that 'you can borrow more if you don't have food', it is just a strategy that you can't get by.
If they really don't know moderation and eat and drink in three or five days, they will be embarrassed to borrow food from the Fang family.
Purr!
Ah Huai chewed, swallowed a willow leaf, and then drank the soup, and the taste of wheat bran in his mouth neutralized the bitterness, giving his mouth a little taste.
"Uncle Zaohuai, sister-in-law Xianglin!" Fang Rui's voice sounded.
As soon as he entered the door, Uncle Zaohuai's whole family stood up and came to greet him.
Sister-in-law Xianglin hurriedly went to move the chair and beckoned, "Brother Rui, are you here?" Sit! Sit down! ”
She subconsciously wanted to invite Fang Rui to dinner, but when the words of invitation came to her mouth, she was embarrassed to say it, opened her mouth, and swallowed it again.
- It's not that he is reluctant to give up this bit of food, but that the situation of the Fang family is not comparable to that of his family, and it is a little offensive to entertain people with this kind of food.
"Don't sit down, I'm just here to deliver something."
Fang Rui said with a smile: "My family was lucky to get an old rooster, let's make it today, bring some for you to taste, it's not much, don't dislike it." ”
Boom!
Ah Huai's eyes looked at a small bowl of chicken stewed mushrooms, and his throat subconsciously stirred.
"What's that? I ......"
Sister-in-law Xianglin said halfway, suddenly stopped, and looked at Uncle Zaohuai - Uncle Zaohuai was in charge of the family, and she was not good at responding without permission.
"This ...... It's too precious...... That, Brother Rui ...... "Uncle Zao Huai subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he was stupid, he didn't know what to say, and when he showed it, he was a little incoherent,
"It's just a little something, Uncle Zaohuai, take it! I'll put it here, just send the bowl over after eating......" After Fang Rui finished speaking, he didn't give the Zaohuai family a chance to refuse, turned around and left.
"Hey!"
Zao Huaishu didn't call Fang Rui, and when he saw him leaving, he was silent for a while before he said: "To be a man, you have to talk about your conscience, and our family must remember your kindness." ”
Xianglin's sister-in-law and Ah Huai both nodded seriously.
At this time, Ah Huai's eyes were shining and staring at the small bowl, his hands were rubbing his clothes, and he wanted to speak for a while before he couldn't help but speak: "Father, mother, shall I eat a piece of meat?" Just a small piece! ”
"What to eat?!"
Xianglin's sister-in-law knocked over with chopsticks and chattered: "This soup is all oil and water, pour it into the pot in stages, and you can eat several meals...... When cooking porridge, add a piece of meat to it, and when it is cooked, it is a meal, and you can eat several meals...... The chicken head is the largest, and it can be separated and cooked for two or three meals......"
"In general, these things can be eaten for several days!"
This is no exaggeration.
In this world, a piece of pork skin, rubbed in a pot before cooking, as oil and water, can be used for a long time, not to mention this meat.
"Oh!"
When Ah Huai heard this, he was a little disappointed and shrugged his head, but he was also sensible and no longer mentioned eating meat.
Uncle Zao Huai suddenly spoke: "There is no oil and water in the stomach, eat meat and diarrhea...... Let's take a mushroom for each person! ”
In this era, even if you love your child, it is unlikely that you will eat it alone.
First, adults are laborers and have to do heavy work; Second, every family generally has many children, and if there are many children, it is impossible to 'love three generations in one'.
With Uncle Zao Huai opening his mouth, Xianglin's sister-in-law picked up the bowl and divided the mushrooms, one for each person, Uncle Zao Huai was the largest, Ah Huai was the second, and she was the smallest.
"Thank you, Dad, Mom!" Ah Huai suddenly cheered, very happy, this mushroom is plump and full, and it is soaked in enough oil and water at a glance, it is absolutely delicious.
He took small bites, small bites, and ate with great cherishment, and when Uncle Zaohuai and Xianglin's sister-in-law finished eating and urged them to wash the dishes, they reluctantly swallowed the remaining small pieces one by one.
Even so, Ah Huai was reluctant to swallow it in a hurry, and chewed a small piece of mushroom at the corner of his mouth for a long time, letting the taste soak into his mouth and stomach, until he was in his heart, so as to dispel the bitterness of this day a little.
……
Fang Rui sent meat to Sanniangzi's family and Uncle Zaohuai's family, and his sharp-eyed neighbors saw it, causing a lot of discussion.
……
"At this age, the Fang family can still eat meat...... I don't know where I got it? ”
"Black market, right? However, there are other possible ways to do so...... Didn't Brother Fang Jiarui have a good relationship with that Jiang Yagong? Also: Lao Fang also has some friends, I saw that Brother Rui went out with things last afternoon, most of them to pick up those relationships......"
"Yes, the martial artists are different, and the road is wide!"
……
"The last time our family ate meat, it was during the Chinese New Year two years ago, right? I can't even remember that taste! ”
"Who's to say it's not? This person can't be compared, can't be compared! ”
"Okay, these sour words, just say them at home, it's hard to go out...... I look at that Fang Jiarui brother, he is a ...... who holds a grudge."
"People also remember their gratitude, otherwise, how can they generously send meat?!"
……
"Brother Rui of this Fang family, it's really generous, that's meat, just give it away......"
Caigen's sister-in-law peeked out of the window, and chattered: "The third lady's family is just that, after all, it has always had a good relationship with the Fang family, but the Zaohuai family actually has ......."
Boom!
Erdan stood next to him, staring out with his eyes open, and subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
Seeing her son's pitiful appearance, Caigen's sister-in-law was full of self-blame, and remorse gnawed at her heart like a poisonous snake: "If it is...... If it was at the beginning, I didn't want to be happy for a while, and I would have said a word to the family...... The current treatment of the Zaohuai family is ours......"
People often don't have much feeling for things floating in the sky and can't be touched, but they regret the opportunity that was once close at hand and slipped away from hand.
I don't know, character determines fate - Caigen's sister-in-law has a fast mouth and is petty and selfish; Uncle Zaohuai's calmness, conscience, and different personalities have long been destined for everything.
"Alright."
Uncle Fuquan put down a woven rattan basket and said in an urn voice: "What's the use of coveting other people's homes?" Let's just live our own lives...... The wheat bran and willow leaves I brought back last night are mixed and boiled together! ”
"Alas!"
With a long sigh, Sister-in-law Caigen turned around.
……
In fact, it is not only the sister-in-law Caigen who regrets it, the other two families at the beginning, who have received help from the Fang family but have helped Song Dashan, are also regretful.
……
This meal of meat from the Fang family made the neighbors in Liushu Hutong either amazed, envious, jealous, or remorseful...... And so on.
There are many kinds of people in the world.
……
Fang Rui returned from Uncle Zaohuai's house, and sure enough, Fang Xue and Fang Ling were waiting for him, but they didn't move their chopsticks.
Fang Xue's family is okay, in this idle time, he can't stop sewing clothes.
Fang Ling ......
The little girl smelled the fragrance of the room, and her ass couldn't sit still, and she writhed around like a nail on a chair, but her big eyes kept staring straight at the chicken stew in the middle of the table.
It's a lot of fun.
Fang Rui shook his head amusedly, washed his hands and sat down: "Mother, Ling'er, let's eat!" ”
He didn't say anything like 'next time the two of you eat first, don't wait for him', because he knew it was useless, and even if he did, they would still do it next time.
"Wow!"
Fang Ling cheered, but he still didn't dare to move his chopsticks, he looked at Fang Xue's family, and then looked at it, wanting to eat meat, but he didn't dare to pick it up.
"Look what I'm doing? Eat! Eat! Fang Xue snorted angrily.
She listened to what Fang Rui said yesterday, and she didn't pick and choose too much, it was too economical.
"Yes, Ling'er, I promised you, let you have a good time today, just eat! Mother, you eat too! ”
Fang Rui gave Fang Xue's vegetables.
"Hey, slow down, slow down!"
Fang Xue didn't refuse, but took the initiative to greet the bowl, for fear that the oil and water would drip down and waste a drop.
"The meat is clean, the bones are kept, gathered together, boiled and stewed, all in oil and ......water," she babbled.
Fang Xue tried to change, so that his children did not have to be too stingy and economical in terms of eating, but the cherishing of food did not change at all.
This is a gene engraved in the bones of people in this era, and it cannot be changed.
Fang Rui didn't suffer himself, he also sandwiched a piece of chicken wings, sucked the soup, chewed the meat on the tip of the wings, and felt the taste of the food explode on his taste buds.
In the small room, the clay bowl containing the chicken stewed mushrooms was steaming, and the smell of fireworks enveloped the three of them, and in front of the table, the midday sun pierced through the linen curtain and laid the light and shadow of broken gold.
Cosy and peaceful.
At this meal, Fang Rui, Fang Xue, and Fang Ling, the three of them were very happy and satisfied.
Especially Fang Ling, he really enjoyed eating, his mouth was full of oil, his stomach was round, and his belly seemed to be transparent.
Meal.
Ding-mile clang!
Fang Xue cleaned up the kitchen; Fang Ling licked the corners of his mouth and touched his stomach with a satisfied expression.
Fang Rui sat in front of the window, holding a medical book in his hand, but he didn't read it, looked at Fang Xue, who was busy in the kitchen, and then looked at Fang Ling, who was full of satisfaction, and smiled knowingly.
Even if you eat the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, if you eat them alone, you don't have much taste...... Only when the family gets together and enjoys the food in the smell of fireworks is the most fragrant! He thought to himself.
