Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

The oil lamp in the kitchen was already lit.

After frying for a long time, the air is full of hot air.

The light passed through the dense heat, making it even more dim.

Nian took three plates and picked out three freshly fried meat dishes.

He personally carried it to the table in the main room, placed it in the middle, and put three sticks of incense on it.

Bye bye, ask God to try the newly fried New Year's goods at home, and wish you good weather and a safe home in the coming year.

In the kitchen, before the fire went out, Liu Meixiang had already picked up the spatula and used the remaining oil in the pot to sauté the onions, ginger and garlic until fragrant.

Then pour the chopped bamboo rat meat into it.

The meat pieces were quickly fried and changed color. Liu Yu rolled out the dough that had been mixed earlier and cut it into thin noodles.

The noodles are cut and the meat and vegetables are fried.

There was also the upper half of the sea bowl when I shoveled it out. I continued to add water to the fire. The fire at the bottom of the pot never stopped, and the water did not boil for a while.

Soon, most of the pot of fresh soup noodles was tumbling, and some freshly fried pink and crispy meat were also placed in it.

Green and juicy green onions float on it, the white noodles are even whiter, the soup soaked in fried meat is slightly yellow, and the green onions are green.

With such a pot of noodle soup in front of them, everyone felt that their hungry stomachs were even more unbearable.

Bamboo rat meat is placed in the middle, and each person carries a bowl of white noodles and moves around the table.

Liu Yu hadn't eaten bamboo rat meat for a long time. After taking one bite, she felt that the meat was tender and very fragrant. It was actually more tender and delicious than chicken or duck meat.

Xiaoxue even ate without raising her head, and everyone on the table put pieces of food into the little girl's bowl.

After a while, the little girl's mouth became oily after eating, and her eyes narrowed happily.

"Grandma, grandma, you guys eat too."

"Little uncle, uncle Changsheng, and mother, you guys can eat too!"

Xiaoxue felt a little embarrassed when she saw that there were still several pieces in her bowl. She quickly stood up, picked up the chopsticks with her little hands, put one piece each into everyone's bowls one by one.

"Good boy, my grandma has never eaten or seen anything in her life. Although the bamboo rat meat is delicate and tender, it is still lean. Fatty pork tastes better in the mouth!"

Nian waved her hand and told Xiaoxue to eat by herself, leaving her alone.

When they saw the old lady smiling with crinkles in her eyes, they knew she was in a good mood.

After dinner, Nian took a few people to put everything away, put it away and covered it.

These are all things for entertaining guests during the New Year, and they are all meat and vegetables. You have to find everything you need. If you are not careful and are eaten by mice, it will be sad.

Liu Fusheng boiled hot water again, and after everyone washed up, Liu Yu told Ming'er and Liu Shan to go to the county seat to sell bamboo shoots.

"You two are unfamiliar with each other. Do you know where the restaurant door faces?"

Nian frowned slightly, not feeling relieved.

"Li Dongsheng will be with him. He has a restaurant we are familiar with. Let's follow him."

Liu Yu said hurriedly.

When Nian heard that Li Dongsheng was with him, he didn't object.

He only said one more sentence: "Don't cause trouble to others. Li Dongsheng's grandma's medicine expenses all these years have been obtained by Li Dongsheng's hunting. It's better to sell the winter bamboo shoots. If they can't be sold, let's take them home to dry and stew them. Don't act on impulse." , ruining Li Dongsheng’s livelihood!”

Nian talked a lot, Liu Yu listened carefully and took it to heart.

Bring the hot water into the house. After spending a long time in the bamboo forest, I need to soak my feet.

Seeing the clothes that had been cut yesterday, Liu Yu took advantage of this opportunity to go to the old lady's room to ask for cotton.

When she heard that Changsheng wanted to make cotton-padded clothes for Xiaoxue, Liu Meixiang was very embarrassed and quickly refused, saying that Xiaoxue had already made winter cotton-padded clothes when she first came home.

"Sister, why are you so polite to me? Xiaoxue is also my niece. She finally comes home to celebrate the New Year. As uncles, we can make cotton-padded clothes for our children. It's not a big deal."

"That's right, let them do it. My old lady also produced cotton."

Nian touched Xiaoxue's soft hair and sighed: "During the Chinese New Year, the children all have new clothes. Xiaoxue can't help but look at them."

Xiaoxue also knew that he had made new clothes for her to wear during the New Year. In previous years, when she was still in her father's house, the new clothes she wore were all made by her mother's old clothes.

"Thank you, uncle, and thank you, uncle Changsheng!"

When Xiaoxue saw her mother nodding to herself, she hurriedly stood up from the kang, her voice cheerful, and she smiled sweetly at Liu Yu.

"Hey, what are you thanking me for? I'm a family. If you don't want to thank me, please come and thank me!"

Liu Meixiang saw Liu Yu closing the door, and then looked back to see Xiaoxue rolling happily on the kang.

I feel a little sour in my heart, and I even hate my former self who was just getting along.

Because they had to get up early the next day, the two of them took a shower and fell asleep cuddled together without messing around.

..............................

Xinlin County is directly north of Shangzhang Town. Follow the official road all the way north with only two turns, which is about fifty miles away.

The three of them set off at starry night, each pushing a cart, from the sky full of stars until the sky was almost bright, and then they arrived at Changyong Town.

"Brother Dongsheng, how far is this place from the county seat?"

In front of Li Dongsheng and behind Liuyu Hall, a few people walked and rested. It was still early at this time, so a few people stopped on the official road outside Changning Town to take a rest.

Liu Yu moved her hands and feet and spoke to the man with a slightly worried look on his face and a silent and solemn expression.

"It's still seven or eight miles away!"

Li Dongsheng wiped his hands and looked at the road ahead.

Liu Yu just paid it back. When Liu Shan heard that there was still seven or eight miles left, his face suddenly turned bitter, and he sighed and rubbed his sore calves.

After having traveled dozens of miles, Liu Yu felt slightly relieved when he heard that there were still seven or eight miles to go.

Hurry up and you'll be there at about the right time.

Li Dongsheng took out a few bamboo roots and bamboo tubes from the bamboo basket hanging on the handlebar, and put them into the bamboo cage on the cart.

"Brother Dongsheng, don't they feel uncomfortable when you are suffocating them like this?"

Liu Yu walked forward saunteringly, pointing to the bamboo cage on the cart that was covered tightly with tattered quilts and sweet potato vines.

After the bamboo rat roots and bamboo tubes were thrown in, the sound of bamboo rats gnawing was soon heard.

Along the way, the sound almost never stopped.

The bamboo cage was covered with a broken quilt, and with a startled glance, Liu Yu saw that all the bamboo rats in the big bamboo cage had smooth fur and were extremely huge.

Compared to Xiaoxue's one, these bamboo rats are at least five pounds heavier!

It's so edible, no wonder it grows so big.

"Brother Dongsheng, did you raise all these bamboo rats yourself?"

Liu Yu was a little regretful. If Li Dongsheng raised these bamboo rats by himself, then she might not be able to ask him anything about the bamboo rats!

"No, I caught it from the bamboo forest!"

Li Dongsheng saw Liu Yu constantly circling the bamboo rat asking questions, with unconcealable envy and anxiety in his eyebrows.

Liu Shan, who was sitting next to him and rubbing his legs, looked at Liu Yu without saying anything. Needless to say, the newly married brother in front of him must have something in mind.

Li Dongsheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, glanced at Liu Yu, and said, "You also want to learn to catch bamboo rats!"
