Coming in, Li Dongfei looked at Chang Xian's home.

The floor was painted with a thick layer of red paint, the wall was simply scraped with putty, and a set of wooden sofas was topped with sofa cushions sewn by themselves.

A square table was covered with a tablecloth and a hood over it, covering a plate of leftovers to prevent flies and mosquitoes.

Simple, poor, typical home of a worker in a state-owned enterprise.

Chang Xian looked at Li Dongfei's expression and said, "Our family is good, hehe, Li Qizhi wanted to die when he was a child!" ”

Li Dongfei went to the kitchen door to greet Chang's father, and Chang's father seemed to be stunned for a moment when he saw Li Dongfei, but this slight unnaturalness passed by in a flash, and no one could see it and hid it in the wrinkles.

Chang's mother poured tea for the guests and served dishes back and forth from the kitchen to the living room.

Chang Xian accompanied Li Dongfei and recalled: "I heard, I heard that the old man's skills have been revealed three times. ”

He snapped his fingers and said, "The old couple got married once, and gave birth to me and my sister twice." Here you are today, for the fourth time! ”

Li Dongfei laughed and said, "Didn't you hear that you can still see your uncle and aunt get married?" Feelings, you kid is also the first time in his life to eat the old man's craftsmanship! ”

Hearing Chang Xian say this, he was really moved.

Family banquet represents the highest etiquette of Chinese hospitality.

In the past, restaurants were not as ubiquitous as they are today, and to entertain guests with a sumptuous meal, the host would start preparing it a day in advance, and the whole family was busy chopping wood and washing vegetables, cooking oil in pots, and curling smoke, full of fireworks in the world.

Since ancient times, both dignitaries and ordinary people have been striving for excellence in every aspect of the family banquet.

The deep friendship of the host is reflected in every carefully prepared dish and some details of the family banquet.

The dinner table at home always has incomparable emotional symbols and appeals in the hearts of Chinese, and no matter how delicious the delicacies of the mountains and seas outside, they can't taste the warmth and taste that are precipitated in the homely fireworks.

The same is true for Westerners, it is not difficult to have dinner with Warren Buffett and Bill Gates in a hotel, but it is rare to be invited to their island and host a family dinner for you.

When a person takes the initiative to invite you to his home, cook you a table of delicious food, and share with you the treasured wine at home, he already regards you as an important friend and is willing to maintain the relationship with the highest etiquette.

Every family banquet is a warm comfort, and that warm home cooking is the supreme delicacy in the world.

……

Chang Xian took a peanut from the table and fed it to Yiyi's mouth, and said: "Mr. Li, my father has not used knives and guns for more than 20 years, and the horse is put in Nanshan. ”

"Uncle doesn't need to look at this craft, you can know it by smelling it with your nose, and it can't be bad."

Li Dongfei smiled and said: "This dish is still in the kitchen, and the fragrance makes people unstable."

He complained to Chang Xian: "It's really rare to have a good meal now, don't get involved with relatives, what is there to eat, but I can't help but go, Sichuan cuisine today, Cantonese cuisine tomorrow, Huaiyang cuisine later, a belly of rivers and mountains, to be honest, this time I came out to hide from wine." Stayed in the unit and had a stomach ache ......"

Between the words, the dishes are all ready.

There were four large bowls on the table, each of which had been picked up

Large intestine, small intestine, pig lungs, pork belly, the marinade is rich, transparent but not sticky, rotten but not bad, it is not good to cook in the pot like in the store, so you can only clean it up, chop it into small pieces, and then put a few baked cakes on a plate.

A few dishes next to it, the tip of the liver is just right, the pork belly is cut thinly, the entrance has the feeling of the fat slowly dissolving, the sauce fried pork liver is made with Sichuan flavor, plus a plate of green vegetables, a plate of fried peanuts.

Looking at this full table, Li Dongfei showed a look of confusion: "Why does it look a little bit like a small intestine Chen?" ”

"Oh, Mr. Li deserves to be the leader."

Chang's mother fiddled with the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks neatly, and said: "The old man said that he had studied with the master of Xiao Gu Chen for a few days, and I thought it was a restaurant opened by a person surnamed Chen, and it is still a time-honored brand according to what you say?" Hurry up and taste it, doesn't it taste right? ”

Li Dongfei said happily: "Auntie, you don't know this. Small intestine Chen, that is the most famous stewed boiled shop in the capital, there are hundreds of years, their braised small intestine is the palace imperial diet "Su made meat" to come, I didn't expect to go to the south, and I can still meet this mouthful, this trip is not in vain. ”

"I heard Xiaoxian say that you are from the capital, and I can't handle the style in the countryside, I'm afraid that you won't be used to it, so it's the old man who cooks, it seems that his skills are okay."

As soon as I spoke, I became acquainted with each other, and Chang's mother was not restrained.

He called beside him: "Xiao Xian, pour wine for your father and Mr. Li."

Chang Xian let out an "oh", took out the wine brought by Li Dongfei, and said with a smile: "Today, let's borrow flowers to offer Buddha and dry up the good wine brought by Mr. Li." ”

"Wow! Old Xifeng, this is good wine! ”

Chang's father came out of the kitchen, saw the wine bottle in Chang Xian's hand, his eyes lit up, and said: "It's really stained today, this old Xifeng wine is estimated to have a few bottles left, rare things, Xiaoxian, give your mother a cup too." ”

What Li Dongfei brought was not Moutai Fenjiu, but aged Xifeng.

It is still the old Xifeng canned in the old wine shop "Tianshunde" before liberation.

He also touched it from the old man of their family, and there were less than five bottles left from the old man.

Chang Dad took off his apron, wiped his hands, and came over to sit down.

He picked up the cup and said: "Mr. Li, it's rare for you to bring such a good wine, I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha, I will pay tribute to you, thank you for your care of this kid in our family......"

Li Dongfei smiled and said: "Uncle, aunt, don't see each other, you are an elder, don't call me Mr. Li, that's the name of outsiders, don't call you, my junior can't afford it." ”

"That's it, you second elder, call me Xiao Li, Dongfei, Dongzi, Feizi can do anything!"

He also picked up the cup, "Uncle, I respect you." ”

Chang's father was not hypocritical, and said happily: "Okay, the gentlemen in the capital pay attention to crispness, and there are not so many things, then I will rely on the old man to call you Xiaofei." ”

The wine cup was not big, and the two of them just dried it up.

The liquor of more than 60 degrees, although the mouth is soft, but from the throat to the stomach, it feels like leaving a blazing line of fire.

A real soft mouth, a line of throat!

After drinking it in one gulp, I couldn't help but let out a "ha", exhaled a mouthful of wine, and praised "good wine"!

Chang Xian picked up the wine bottle and filled it for Chang Dad.

Li Dongfei was not polite, he couldn't wait to clip a chopsticks and fat intestines, and in the next second, he felt that he had swallowed a piece of fairy meat from his mouth to his stomach, and with a sip of old wine, his pores collapsed and he was sweating profusely.

"Great!"
