"Your name is not good, it is not elegant, such a good-looking puppy, why is it so casually named?" Old man Fan shook his head and provoked Xu Ling's stab.

Xu Ling smiled: "What's wrong? Vulgarity is elegance, isn't it quite in line with it? ”

Xu Ping Xu An listened to him like this, and this time he didn't agree with his eldest brother's vision.

"Big brother, why don't you let Fan Fuzi name the puppy?"

The big girl hugged the white-eyed puppy, and wanted to bite its ear, but the puppy drooped its two front paws cutely, whimpering and not daring to struggle.

Gu Yu quickly blocked her daughter's mouth, "Big girl, can't you eat a puppy?" ”

"Don't eat, kiss!" The eldest girl likes puppies, and she wants to kiss the puppy after learning the appearance of her father, and looks at her mother suspiciously, doesn't her mother like to be kissed by her father?

Xu Ling laughed and hugged the eldest girl and the white-eyed puppy in his arms, "Okay, okay, what are you going to say?" ”

Xu An hugged the white-faced puppy: "I want this puppy, just call it Zhaocai, right?" ”

Xu smiled happily: "This name is good, and the fortune is good!" ”

"Then this one is called Jinbao!" Xu Ling made a decision and named the four-eyed puppy in his arms.

Fan Shiqing shook his head vigorously, Xu Ling is in business, this family is like losing money, and the smell of copper is all over the body, and the poor puppy has to be used to attract wealth and treasure.

The white-haired puppy didn't seem to want to go to his brother's fate, and walked around Fan Shiqing's feet, wanting to lick his fingers.

Fan Shiqing stroked his beard, "Then let's call it stepping on snow." ”

This name is indeed quite elegant, and the Xu family glanced at each other, and they all smiled in response.

Fan Shiqing had just touched the pig's tail, and the smell of meat on his fingers had not yet dissipated, and he didn't blame the puppy for wrapping around him.

Named the puppy, Xu Ping Xu An took the big girl to make a nest for the puppy, there was a place for chickens and ducks to live in the backyard vegetable field, and the two of them thought that when the puppy grew up, there would be a bolt next to the chicken nest in the backyard, so as not to let the weasel touch the house and steal the chicken.

Children have things that children have to do, and adults have things to do.

Xu Ling asked the family to put more than 100 catties of pork in different categories, take out a few pork ribs, just put some coarse salt into it, and eat one directly in your hand after cooking, which can smell off people's tongues!

The pig's trotters, elbows, tails, and ears are all sorted, along with the internal organs, and Xu Ling plans to eat them.

When dividing the meat, Gu Litian refused to ask for more, and in the end, as long as two pieces of good pork belly and a few pieces of lard, it was enough to eat when he took it home.

Xu Ling didn't say anything, only said: "Dad, if you come here this year, let's have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together, there are more people and more lively." ”

"That's not going to work!" Gu Litian refused, he still has his father and mother, and he is about to have a grandson, how can he mix with Xu Ling's family without distinguishing between you and me?

As soon as Xu Ling said this, he realized that something was wrong, he was a junior, Gu Litian was an elder, and they should go to the Gu family to celebrate the New Year together.

He laughed humbly twice and did not mention it again.

Cut the pork belly into large pieces, smear honey and soy sauce on the outside to marinate to taste, start the pot and burn the fire, fry the pork plate fat to remove the oil residue and oil, put the oil residue aside, and keep it for the night to chop and eat dumplings with the shepherd's cabbage, and fry the braised pork with pork plate oil.

On the other side, Xu Ling lit a stove in the courtyard, put the pottery urn on which the pear paste was cooked, added water and marinade packets, and then boiled the miscellaneous parts of the pig's body.

Spices such as star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, etc., were only bought by Xu Ling when he was out of business, just to have a good meal during the New Year.

There were no chili peppers in these years, so Xu Ling could only add ginger, garlic and pepper to increase the spiciness and fragrance.

Everyone else has to watch this work, Xu Ling came alone, and as soon as the spices were boiled, the fragrance overflowed, and was blown away by the cold winter wind and drifted to the village.

"What does this smell like? Why is it so fragrant? ”

The people in the village can still smell it, let alone Xu Ling's family.

Even the three new puppies were hungry and wagged their tails at Xu Ling's feet.

The pig bought back was fat and thin, Xu Ling asked Gu Yu to wrap the lean meat in batter and fry some crispy meat, Xu and Liu were not idle, washed out a large pot of radishes at home, minced them and mixed them with lean meat puree, and pinched some radish meatballs.

The whole family was busy until noon, the rib strips boiled with coarse salt in the pot were cooked, Xu Ling used chopsticks to put them on a large plate, let them cool a little, and let the children at home wash their hands and eat them directly.

The firewood in the pot of the Xu family burned brightly, and it never stopped, and the aroma wafted to the village, attracting many children, one by one, poking their heads out, cats bending their waists, and smelling the smell of meat coming out of the door of Xu's house, and their gluttonous saliva was about to flow down.

Xu Ling took a plate of balls and walked towards the door, and as soon as the children saw him, they shouted, "Run!" ”

The children are delicious, but they also want faces, and they can't do it when they smell and beg for food at the door of their homes.

However, some children were gluttonous, and they couldn't run fast because of the smell of meat, and before they could take two steps, Xu Ling pushed open the door and grabbed the pigtails of the bench.

"What are you doing here?" Xu Ling asked knowingly.

When Li Dayuan saw that his younger brother was arrested, he stopped embarrassedly and shouted, "Brother Ling!" ”

Xu Ling smiled, beckoned him to come over, and when he got closer, he saw that Li Dayuan was wearing thin clothes, the shoes on his feet showed his thumb, and his exposed skin was frozen and bruised.

This kid hasn't taken a bath for a long time, and the black behind his neck and ears has turned black.

Xu Ling shook his head a little helplessly, "Didn't you make money selling lotus roots?" Why don't you ask your mother to make you thick clothes? ”

Li Dayuan grinned: "My mother has a body again, she wants to keep it for me to give birth to a younger brother!" ”

Xu Ling's heart tightened, pitying him and helpless.

People in the village raise children mainly at will, at this time the children are more, of course, the loss rate is also very high, born two or three years old can walk and learn to work, fifteen or sixteen years old can become a biological child, who cares if the child is good or not?

If it is put in the previous life, I am afraid that these fathers and mothers in the village will inevitably be scolded and abused children.

It's not that it's not going to be right now, but most people don't think there's anything wrong with it.

That's how it came anyway.

Xu Ling couldn't stand these children still wearing so thin clothes in the snow and ice, not to mention that they couldn't eat meat a few times a year, Xu Ling stopped them for a while, turned around one by one, stared at the crispy meat on the plate in Xu Ling's hand, and the crystal saliva dripped straight down!

Xu Ling beckoned the children to come to the aisle, closed the door, and carried a stove to let it go into the aisle.

"Stay away from the stove, there is crispy meat on the plate, eat, help me work when you are done."

Li Dayuan grabbed a few pieces of crispy meat, but he was not in a hurry to eat them, but distributed them to the children who couldn't grab them later.

After dividing the meat, he took another piece and stuffed it into his mouth, and asked Xu Lingdao while eating: "Brother Ling, what do you want us to do for you?" Just say it! ”
