Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

Liu Ping'an's consciousness seemed to have passed through the mist of time and space, and landed steadily in the familiar and friendly Qinjia Village. The morning light was like a soft finger, gently parting the curtain of the night, and the smoke from the village was rising, as if whispering, telling the beginning of a new day. Liu Ping'an took a deep breath of the fresh air, the smell of soil and firewood, which made him feel an indescribable warmth in his heart. He followed the warm breath and his steps involuntarily walked towards his old kitchen, which was the warmest place in his memory.

Pushing open the door, a warm and picturesque scene came into view: the eldest uncle was squatting in front of the stove, his hands, full of traces of time, carefully adding firewood, and every movement seemed so calm. The third uncle was busy cutting vegetables on the chopping board beside him, with skillful knife skills, cutting every leaf and every piece of meat just right. The two occasionally talked a few words, although their voices were low, but they revealed an inseparable family affection and tacit understanding. The atmosphere was harmonious and peaceful, as if the whole world had quieted down.

"Uncle, Third Uncle, good morning!" Liu Ping'an walked into the kitchen with a smile, his voice full of the joy of returning home. Naturally, he rolled up his sleeves, ready to join this morning cooking feast and share this rare tranquility and happiness with his family.

"Oh, Ping'an is back! Just in time, come and help." When the uncle looked up and saw Liu Ping'an, a kind smile suddenly appeared on his face. That smile contained so many emotions, including surprise, relief, and endless love.

Next, the kitchen began to cook in a busy and orderly manner. The first dish was [Fried Venison Steak]. Liu Ping'an first carefully selected the most tender part from the remaining venison from last night. The meat was delicate and the texture was clear, as if it was the most perfect gift from nature. He skillfully cut the venison into evenly thick and thin steaks, and each piece was full of attractive luster. Then, he used special spices - including finely ground black pepper, sea salt and a little rosemary, and evenly applied them on the steaks, allowing the rich aroma to penetrate deeply into the meat. After marinating for a while, when the oil in the pan was boiling, he put the venison steaks in one by one. With the sound of "sizzling", the venison steaks rolled in the hot oil and fried until both sides were golden, the skin was slightly charred and the inside was juicy. The air was instantly filled with an attractive meaty aroma, which made people swallow their saliva.

The second dish was [Deer Meat Stewed with Potatoes]. Liu Pingan cut the remaining venison into small pieces, which were firm yet tender. He put them into a casserole together with the diced potatoes, added water, sprinkled a handful of dried mushrooms and a few slices of ginger, and simmered them over low heat. As time went by, the soup in the pot gradually thickened, and the fresh fragrance of the venison and the softness of the potatoes blended perfectly, creating a fragrant and mouth-watering aroma. The soup seemed to contain the taste of home, warm and satisfying.

The third dish is [Venison and Vegetable Roll]. Liu Ping'an spreads out the thin slices of venison, which are as thin as a cicada's wing and have an attractive pink color. He puts shredded carrots, cucumbers and purple cabbage on top, which are colorful, like a spring scroll. Then he rolls it up gently and fixes it with toothpicks. The exquisite shape is pleasing to the eye. Then he puts these colorful meat rolls into a steamer and steams them over high heat for a few minutes until the meat is cooked and the vegetables are tender. Finally, he pours a spoonful of special sauce on it. The sauce is sweet and sour, which complements the deliciousness of the meat rolls. It is both beautiful and delicious.

The fourth dish is [Deer Meat Porridge]. Liu Ping'an uses the soup base of stewed venison, which is rich but not greasy, and full of the fresh aroma of venison. He adds washed rice and simmers it over low heat. The porridge is cooked until it is thick and the rice grains bloom. The aroma of the porridge and the aroma of venison are intertwined, making people want to taste it. He then adds some chopped venison and green vegetables, the crispness of the green vegetables and the deliciousness of the venison complement each other, and finally sprinkles chopped green onions and pepper powder for seasoning, and bowls of steaming, nutritious venison porridge are ready. The porridge not only warms the stomach, but also the heart.

The last dish is [Cold shredded venison]. Liu Pingan cut the venison into thin strips, which were long and even. He quickly blanched it in boiling water and mixed it with chopped cucumber and red pepper, which was bright and eye-catching. He mixed it with a sauce made of mashed garlic, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar and sesame oil. The sauce was sour and spicy, which was a perfect combination with the deliciousness of the venison. A plate of refreshing and appetizing cold venison strips appeared in front of you, making you want to feast on it.

The five dishes were colorful, fragrant and delicious, showing not only Liu Ping'an's exquisite handling of ingredients and his love for cooking, but also his deep affection for his family and his attachment to his hometown. After tasting them, the eldest uncle and the third uncle praised them highly, their smiles full of satisfaction and happiness. The kitchen was filled with laughter, and this happiness and warmth from the heart was more precious than any delicacy. At this moment, time seemed to freeze, leaving only the indescribable family affection and warmth lingering in the heart for a long time.

As the busyness in the kitchen came to an end, other people in the house began to get up one after another. They all seemed to be attracted by the tempting smell of food and gathered in the kitchen at the same time.

Grandpa and grandma were dressed in simple and neat clothes. Although they walked unsteadily, their faces were filled with kind and satisfied smiles. They walked slowly into the kitchen, and their eyes were instantly attracted by the delicacies on the table, with surprise and admiration in their eyes. "Ping An, you are really getting more and more capable. These dishes are colorful and fragrant. Just looking at them makes people's appetites open. It's as if we have returned to our youth, and that pure desire for food has returned." Grandpa patted Liu Ping An's shoulder, his voice full of satisfaction and pride.

The eldest and third aunts followed closely behind him. They were still doing housework, but when they smelled the aroma of the food, they couldn't help but stop what they were doing. The eldest aunt smiled and said, "Oh, Ping'an, these dishes you cooked are so delicious. Each one is like a work of art. I can't help but drool. I really want to taste it right away." The third aunt also nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of praise and envy for Liu Ping'an's cooking skills, as if she saw a new culinary star rising in the family.

Liu Ping'an's parents, Liu Jianjun and Zhang Guifang, also walked into the kitchen. Their eyes wandered back and forth between their son's busy figure and the table full of delicacies, their eyes full of pride and love. "Ping'an, you have worked hard. These dishes are not only delicious, but also your thoughtfulness towards your family. You have done a great job." Zhang Guifang said gently, her voice full of love and affirmation for her son. Liu Jianjun nodded silently, with a satisfied smile on his face. That smile showed both pride in his son and satisfaction with the harmony of the family.

My aunt and uncle, my third uncle Liu Jianping, and my brothers and sisters Xiaoxia, Xiaoyan, Xiaoqiang, Xiaotao, etc., all gathered around. They looked at the table full of delicacies with excitement and anticipation in their eyes. The younger brothers and sisters couldn't wait to taste these delicious dishes. Their little hands would secretly reach for the table from time to time, but shyly retracted under the adults' gaze.

Liu Ping'an's three-year-old sister Lele also came in, her young face full of curiosity and surprise. She looked at the dishes her brother made, her eyes sparkling like stars. "Brother, these dishes smell so good, can I try some?" Lele asked in a baby voice, her voice full of desire for food and trust in her brother. This sentence made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere in the kitchen became warmer and more joyful.

The last person to enter the kitchen was Liu Ping'an's wife Qin Jingru. She looked at her husband's busy figure and the table full of delicacies, her eyes full of emotion and happiness. She said softly: "Ping'an, you are such a capable and good husband. Not only are you a great cook, but you also take care of your family so carefully. I really married the right person." As she said that, she walked to Liu Ping'an and hugged him gently, as if expressing her gratitude and love for her husband in this way.

The family finally sat together and began to enjoy this hearty breakfast.

They savored every dish that Liu Ping'an prepared with love and hard work. Every bite contained different flavors and touches, as if it was a wonderful journey for the taste buds, which made people happy and satisfied.

Grandpa and grandma were first attracted by the pan-fried venison steak. They carefully picked up a piece and bit it gently. The slightly charred skin locked the gravy, while the inside was tender and juicy. The flavor of the spices penetrated the meat just right, which did not steal the flavor but added layers. "This venison steak really touched my heart. The meat is tender and the spices are blended just right. Every bite is a pleasure!" Grandpa nodded as he ate, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be stretched out. Grandma smiled from ear to ear, her eyes flashing with endless love and pride for her grandson.

The first and third aunts have a special liking for the venison stewed with potatoes. They scooped a spoonful with a spoon, and the soft potatoes and the fresh fragrance of the venison intertwined in their mouths, as if playing a delicious symphony. "The potatoes are really soft but not mushy, and the freshness of the venison is completely integrated into it. Every bite is full of happiness and makes people unable to stop." The first aunt nodded as she spoke, and the third aunt also echoed, with a satisfied smile on her face.

Liu Jianjun and Zhang Guifang were full of praise for the venison and vegetable rolls. They took a bite and the sweet and sour sauce instantly burst in their mouths, perfectly blending with the delicious venison and refreshing vegetables, bringing an unprecedented taste enjoyment. "This vegetable roll is really unique, the color combination is pleasing to the eye, and the taste is even more layered. Ping An, your cooking skills are really getting better and better." Zhang Guifang praised, her eyes full of satisfaction and pride. Liu Jianjun also showed a satisfied smile, feeling extremely proud of his son's talent.

My aunt, uncle, third uncle Liu Jianping, and my brothers and sisters have a special liking for venison porridge and cold venison shreds. They hold the hot venison porridge, feeling the warm and satisfying taste, as if they have returned to the good old days of their childhood; they praise the refreshing and appetizing cold venison shreds for their sour, spicy, and delicious taste. "This venison porridge is really warm to the stomach and heart. The freshness of the venison and the denseness of the porridge are perfectly combined. It's so comfortable." My aunt said, and my uncle nodded in agreement. My brothers and sisters rushed to eat the cold venison shreds. The sour and spicy taste whetted their appetites and they ate with great pleasure.

Lele was not to be outdone. She took a small spoon and tasted the food made by her brother. Although she ate in a messy way, her pure joy infected everyone present. She ate while mumbling: "My brother's food is so delicious. I want to eat more!" Her childish voice made everyone laugh, and the whole kitchen was filled with laughter.

Qin Jingru tasted each dish silently, with tears of happiness in her eyes. She knew that this meal was not only a feast of delicious food, but also an exchange and transmission of emotions between family members. She looked at Liu Ping'an with gratitude, her heart full of love and respect for him. She thought, this is the taste of home, this is the taste of happiness.

After the meal, the family members praised Liu Ping'an's cooking skills. They not only admired his superb cooking skills, but also appreciated the warmth and happiness he brought to their family. At that moment, time seemed to freeze, leaving only the indescribable family affection and warmth lingering in their hearts for a long time. This meal not only satisfied their taste buds, but also warmed their hearts, making them feel the power and beauty of home. They know that no matter where they go in the future, the taste of home will always remain in their hearts and become their most precious memories.

After dinner, Liu Ping'an regained consciousness in the sturdy man's clone in Courtyard No. 95. This time, he did not take over the sturdy man's daily activities as usual, but suddenly had an idea and a thought of trying it out - he wanted to see if he could change the form of this clone.

Closing his eyes, Liu Pingan took a deep breath, concentrated his mind, and imagined the strong man's body gradually shrinking, feathers covering his whole body, and wings gently flapping on his back. This strange thought circled in his mind, becoming clearer and clearer, as if an invisible force was responding to his call.

Suddenly, a feeling of lightness came from the strong man's body. Liu Pingan opened his eyes suddenly and found that he had really turned into a small sparrow! He flapped his wings in surprise and flew away from the position where the strong man was standing. He circled in the air for a few times, feeling the unprecedented freedom and agility.
