Siheyuan: I stand for Xu Damao because he is my brother

After Lou Xiao'e finished speaking, Xu Dacan was the first to applaud.

Then the two brothers Qin Hu and Qin Bao also applauded, which made Lou Xiao'e feel embarrassed: "Enough, enough, why are you making such a fuss?"

Xu Damao was shocked when he heard this: "Is this true? This is too dangerous. Look at the two people blocking the door. They are dressed like two bears. Who can beat them?"

Xu Dacan added: "So, goalkeepers cannot fight. Violators will be sent off, haha!"

The air is filled with joy again...

After the ice hockey game, it was time for the 500-meter speed skating competition.

Xu Dacan remembered that Yang Weimin seemed to have said before that he wanted to participate in this competition.

Xu Dacan had sharp eyes and suddenly pointed in a direction and said to Yu Li: "Sister, look and see if that is your sister?"

Yu Li looked in the direction of his finger and rubbed her eyes in disbelief: "It really is Yu Haitang!"

Hearing the name Yu Haitang, Lou Xiao'e also stood on tiptoe and held onto Xu Damao's shoulders and looked around curiously.

Tan Hu said to Xu Dacan, "Brother, do you think that man is Yang Weimin?"

Xu Dacan took a closer look and found that they were indeed two familiar faces.

The man is Yang Weimin, and the woman is Yu Haitang. Yang Weimin is taking off his cotton-padded jacket, while Yu Haitang is helping him get his clothes, hat, scarf, and gloves...

Are the two of them going together now?

Doesn’t Xu Dacan remember that Yu Haitang wanted to ask people to help Yang Weimin last time?

Tan Hu asked him, "Brother, should we go over and say hello?"

Xu Dacan looked at the crowded ice surface and shook his head: "Forget it, look at how crowded it is. By the time we get over there, the game will have already started."

Don’t think that there are no professional athletes in this era.

Our country has had a professional skating team since 55. In addition to amateur sports schools, there are also full-time physical training classes.

Generally speaking, in competitions like this, those who can win prizes are members of the physical training class.

But what Xu Dacan and the others didn't expect was that Yang Weimin was actually quite capable. He stood out from a crowd of strong competitors and got a good result of 4th place!

"..."

Xu Dacan and his friends stayed until noon, and only when all the projects were completed did they leave with everyone else.

None of these people felt tired, especially Yu Li, who still felt it was not enough.

Just before leaving, Xu Dacan suddenly realized that this place was the one sung in the song "Let's row our oars, the boat pushes away the waves, the beautiful white pagoda is reflected on the sea..."

In the afternoon, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e did not continue to join in the fun with the young people, but went home to make dumplings.

The same thing happened to Yu Li. She acted "insolently" for the whole morning, but when she got home, her parents-in-law didn't know how to deal with her. But Yan Jiecheng was a soft-hearted person and never said a word to her. Sigh...

"..."

At noon, Xu Dacan went to the home of brothers Qin Hu and Qin Bao and helped make dumplings.

I didn't expect these two brothers to be so skillful with their hands. Especially Qin Bao, his hands were so skillful that many girls felt inferior to him.

Look at the various shapes of dumplings he made, such as fish-shaped, ingot-shaped, crescent-shaped, triangle-shaped, square-shaped, wallet-shaped, small lock-shaped, sunflower-shaped, and rose-shaped dumplings...

It’s hard to imagine how he made the dumpling wrappers. The thin dumpling skin seemed to have magic in his hands!

Xu Dacan joked with him: "Fortunately you are not a fat girl, otherwise the kissers would have trampled down the door of your house."

Qin Bao was so angry that he picked up a rolling pin and wanted to beat him...

The three of them worked quickly and soon finished wrapping two dumplings.

Then Qin Hu asked Qin Bao to close the doors and windows tightly. After that, he took out a piece of yellow mud from the furnace, which made Xu Dacan stunned.

Qin Hu's hands were not afraid of the heat and he cracked the yellow mud with just one slap.

A crazy aroma suddenly filled the air, and Xu Dacan then realized why he had to close the doors and windows.

Qin Bao chuckled: "I stole this chicken when I went out last night. When I came back, I was busy killing the chicken and plucking its feathers until late at night."

Qin Hu smelled the fragrance with an intoxicated look on his face: "This is a recipe that we two brothers learned by chance. Wrap the chicken with dry lotus leaves, cover it with a layer of yellow mud, and put it in the furnace to roast..."

Xu Dacan blurted out: "Beggar's chicken?"

Isn’t this what Banggeng did behind the cement pipe after he stole the chicken from Xu Damao’s house?

Tan Hu was also stunned: "Brother, have you eaten it?"

He immediately added, "But our method is a little different from other places. Just preparing the chicken is very complicated, and it also requires a lot of spices. Finally, we use the heat from the furnace to roast it for 8 hours before we can eat it! Brother, try it, I guarantee that the fragrance will make you spit out your tongue!"

What kind of adjectives are these?

But the beggar chicken made by Qin Hu and Qin Bao is so delicious. Really delicious. I don’t know how they made it, but it’s so delicious!

The skin of the whole chicken was tight and intact, not at all like the so-called "beggar's chicken" that Xu Dacan had eaten later. When the tin foil was torn off, the chicken inside was full of water and dirt, which was disgusting to look at...

The chicken made by the two brothers has a dry skin. When cut with a knife, hot steam seems to be coming out of the chicken's belly. The smell is so rich and fragrant that it is hard to describe in words.

Xu Dacan first broke off a chicken foot and took a bite. He found that it retained its chewiness but was not as hard to chew as cold chicken; nor was it too soft like chicken stewed with mushrooms, leaving his hands sticky after finishing.

After finishing a chicken foot, he tore off some chicken breast to taste.

It can be said that the beggar chicken roasted by Qin Hu was cooked to the extreme.

Take the chicken breast for example. If it’s a little more, it will be tough; if it’s a little less, it will have a fishy smell, as if it’s not fully cooked.

I don’t know if you have ever had this feeling, like when you eat fried chicken, especially a whole chicken, the skin is crispy, but the meat inside, especially the chicken breast, feels uncooked, and some even have obvious blood...

After tasting this beggar's chicken, Xu Dacan had a new understanding of Qin Hu and Qin Bao.

It is no exaggeration to say that with their craftsmanship, once the reform and opening up comes, any chain store they open will be able to be on the "admirable or not" list.

Before Xu Dacan left, he said to Qin Bao, "Don't steal chickens anymore. I'll bring a few over for you two brothers tomorrow."

Qin Hu and Qin Bao wanted to refuse again, but Xu Dacan waved his hand and said, "These were all given to my brother when he went to the countryside to show movies. We can't keep them at home, so we might as well give them to you two brothers. I won't give them away for free. I'll give you five chickens. You help me make two beggar chickens like today, and I'll use them as gifts."

This time, Tan Hu and Tan Bao understood immediately: "So it's for my sister-in-law. I understand, I understand..."
