Traveling through books in the 70s: The group favors the Wang family’s little koi carp

How big is the mud ball?

At least after Shen Jin pulled the two big balls out of the stove, Shen Youwu could only carry one mud ball into the house at a time.

Shen Jiang was startled when he saw his third son, who was so burned and grinning, carrying a big ball of hardened mud into the house.

"What are you doing? A dung beetle?"

"puff!"

"Hahaha..." Shen Yousheng fell down with a smile.

Chen Hoezi smiled the most arrogantly, and was the first to pick up the big mud ball in Shen Youwu's arms.

"Ho! It's heavy enough. What is this?" Chen Hoezi's eyes lit up when he smelled the faint fragrance coming from the mud ball, "Begging Chicken?"

Shen Jin followed closely behind and directly brought in another mud ball without her brother running a second time.

She was used to being a woman, so she didn't take this kind of hard work seriously. In her previous life, let alone bottle caps, even Lao Ganma's glass jars were said to be unscrewed with bare hands, right?

Not delicate at all!

Shen Jin didn't think so, but Shen Jiang couldn't sit still. His daughter was not a dung beetle, but a little fairy. How could a little fairy do such a rough job!

Not feeling the differential treatment from his father at all, Shen Youwu grinned happily at the side: "Xiao Jin'er feels sorry for brother, helping him move the big food."

It's so stupid that it's almost unbearable to look at.

Shen Jin laughed and took out a small hammer from nowhere.

Mrs. Cai pointed to the hammer: "Isn't this the one I use to smash walnuts? I said I couldn't find it just now. It turns out you secretly hid it."

"I'm not doing this for the sense of ceremony."

She handed the hammer to Shen Niannian: "Girl, you come and smash it."

In my previous life, I smashed golden eggs when buying a house, which meant that this was a major event in life and worthy of celebration.

Now the golden egg is gone.

But her aunt's life has started over, so how can she not have an 'egg' that heralds good luck for her to smash?

Shen Niannian held the hammer in a daze. At this moment, her brain circuit was strangely on the same frequency as Shen Jin's.

With resentment against Li Guoquan in his mind, Shen Niannian didn't even need Shen Jin to urge him. He lifted the hammer and smashed the mud ball into two pieces with one hammer!

The days that were once mud seemed to be shattered with this 'click'.

Shen Niannian's eyes were bright, and she seemed to be four or five years younger in an instant.

Before she could say anything, the unique aroma of mutton grabbed everyone's attention in an instant.

It was a burnt aroma mixed with the smell of mutton and cumin.

It's not an unacceptable mutton smell, it's a unique smell of mutton that's so good that you can't help but drool.

Chen cleaned up the mud with a hoe, and after a while, a four-pound leg of lamb was revealed in front of everyone.

Shen Yousheng couldn't help but exclaimed. Mrs. Cai stared at the vegetable leaves wrapping the lamb leg and wondered, "Why do these big leaves look familiar?"

"Oh, there are lotus leaves used to make tea stored in the milk storage cabinet. Hehe, when I saw them, they were not dry enough to break into pieces, so I soaked them in water and used them to wrap lamb legs and pork... "

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Cai's face was pulled to both sides in annoyance.

"You're such a heartless kid. He's always known to bring disaster to your family."

Shen Youpeng smiled and spoke to his sister: "Nai, when summer comes, we will pick a basket for you. Let's let my daughter go first this time."

Old Mrs. Cai was not angry with her granddaughter in the first place. After hearing this, she tugged on her little granddaughter's black cheek and followed the big guy to drool over the 'big dish'.

Chen Hoezi turned his attention to another unopened yellow mud ball.

"So Xiao Jin'er, is this pork?"

"Well, honey-glazed pork, roasted together with the lamb leg, brushed with the honey that dad bought for me, open it and try it. If you don't finish the whole table today, you are looking down on me, Chef Shen!"

Who dares to look down on Chef Shen?

The taste of the 'big dishes' is simply overwhelming.

Chen's hoe and knife skills were good, and he cut the roasted lamb leg and pork into slices in a short while. Chen Hongying finally grabbed a piece of honey-glazed pork and put it into her mouth.

Eyes are wide open!

Not only is it crispy on the outside but tender on the inside, because of the roasting, the fat of the pork is tightly locked into the meat. This piece alone seems to be juicy when you eat it.

Not to mention the honey that has been baked into the skin of the pork, making it crispy and sweet, paired with the chewy and juicy pork.

At this moment, Chen Hongying swore in her heart that even for Xiao Jin'er's cooking skills, the eldest daughter of the old Chen family would definitely not leave!

She must marry Shen Youpeng.

Compared with other blind dates, Shen Youpeng is so competitive that he would win just by comparing with his younger sister!

Just as the filial son and Shen Jiang were fighting over the roasted leg of lamb, Shen Youpeng shuddered and subconsciously raised his head, and saw Chen Hongying's little mouth was red and oily.

At this moment, he was looking at himself like he was looking at honey-glazed pork...

Feeling uneasy, he turned the roasted lamb leg that he had finally grabbed and put it directly into Chen Hongying's bowl.

Do you want to eat meat but can't get enough?

Forget it, he is the master, so he should take care of the little girl.

A meal was eaten like a war. When the moon fully rose, there was only a mess on the table.

I drank less wine.

Shen Jiang was helpless: "I originally planned to have a plate of peanuts so that I could drink with you uncle Hoe until the first day of the new year, but I didn't expect that the New Year's Eve dinner cooked by Xiao Jin'er was so delicious."

Chen Hoezi answered: "How can I have time to drink? How can I taste the taste of meat after drinking!"

He remembered that when he was enjoying his meal just now, Xiao Jin'er complained that there was no barbecue rack, otherwise he wouldn't be able to roast lamb legs and pork in the same way as a beggar's chicken.

Chen Hoezi waved his hand: "Xiao Jin'er, I will make a rack for you tomorrow! Bake whatever you want!"

The craftsman is here, and Shen Jin is not polite to him: "Uncle, can you give me a stove and build an oven with yellow clay?"

"You mean a yellow mud kiln like a brick kiln?"

"Yes, I can bake a lot of things by then!" It was as if he saw plump roast ducks waving to him.

Shen Jin felt happy.

This was no big deal, Chen Hoezi readily agreed to Shen Jin's request.

He was worried about why he would stay at the Shen family after the Chinese New Year. It would take three days to build a yellow clay kiln... no, a week!

Thinking of why he wanted to stay in the Shen family, Chen Hoezi told himself deeply that he had to put his efforts in the right direction.

He turned around and asked Shen Niannian: "Sister Niannian, do you want to hook up with me?"

"Brother is good at everything, including carpentry. Do you need a bedside table? No, I think the thing I copied from the wealthy landlord's house at that time was called a dressing table."

"Brother will make you a dressing table. It will look better than the one handed down from the Qing Dynasty by the old landowner Nao Shizi. What flowers do you like? Then the cabinet door will be carved with flowers..."

Shen Jin snickered beside her. Don't tell me, her Uncle Hoe is quite romantic and knows that chasing a girl means giving her flowers.

Although the gift is carved.

But the dressing table... Uncle Hoe doesn't care what the trend is now. He dares to make such a 'petty bourgeoisie' dressing table, but her aunt probably doesn't dare to ask for it.

Isn’t this just a piece of shit!

Sure enough, Shen Niannian's expression changed: "No, Brother Hoe, I understand your kindness, so there's no need for it."

Chen Hoezi thought Shen Niannian was embarrassed, and when he was about to persuade him again, his leg was kicked hard by his daughter under the table!

"Hiss." This time, it cleared his mind from falling in love.

Chen Hongying didn't understand. Her father was usually such a vigilant person when he was working in the black market, but when he met Nian Niangu, he became like a fool.

"Ahem, what's that? Sister Nian Nian, how about I make you a small mirror? You girls all like mirrors. I'll make one as big as your palm, so it's convenient for you to look in the mirror."

Shen Jin teased him with evil intentions: "Why, Uncle Hoe thinks that my aunt doesn't take care of herself all day long and doesn't pay attention to her image, so he made a mirror for my aunt so that she can look at herself in the mirror?"

The bear-like bearded man never imagined that it would be so difficult for him to even chase a girl and give her a gift.

Scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously, Shen Jiang was happy to watch the excitement. Let this old bachelor miss his sister. He must have been run over by his daughter, right!

But Shen Niannian saw how pitiful he was, so she came to the rescue and said, "Don't listen to my nonsense, I'm missing a small mirror, so I'll bother Brother Hoe."

Mrs. Cai: "No matter what the trouble is, we are all one family!"

The old lady drank a large glass of white wine at first, but now she has had a full meal and is now feeling more energetic. She is a little drunk and doesn't care what the junior is talking about.

I just talked about my plans for the year after.

"Tomorrow we will go to Luo Hehua's house to pay New Year greetings and ask her to give you red envelopes."

"I will go back to Cai's house with me the day after tomorrow. I haven't been back to my parents' house in so many years. I only met briefly when we separated last time..."
