The years when I opened a farmhouse in my hometown

The banquet table is full of bowls, chopsticks and plates. When the mutton hot pot is served, many plates are stacked on the edge of the soup pot or other plates, stacked two or three layers on top of each other, and the table space is vacated. , You can put lamb hot pot.

In the past, mutton was served in a soup bowl. If it was cold, the mutton would not be served for long. The soup was cold and the taste was not that good. The smell of mutton was relatively strong.Later, she gradually changed the way of eating. Shen Xiaoyun still remembers eating the original mutton soup a few years ago. In the mutton soup, some corn, radish or carrot, wax gourd were mixed and matched, and the boiled mutton was boiled. The soup is still milky white, fresh and sweet.

In recent years, it may be that after eating a banquet outside, the mutton soup will be boiled, and the hot pot bottom material will be put in it to make the mutton more delicious and greatly cover up the smell of mutton.At the same time, mutton stewed with white radish and carrots seems to have become the standard configuration in Yunshui Village.

The mutton hot pot should have just been taken out of the pot, put it on the alcohol pot and simmered on a low heat. After a while, the red mutton soup gurgled and turned out small bubbles, and the aroma of the mutton slowed down with the small fire. The cooking was overflowing, and the faces of the villagers who gathered around the banquet also wore smiles, which was the most satisfied expression of this dish.

Mutton is also a good food for warming and nourishing. It is suitable for men, women and children, and it is very popular as soon as it is served.Although this mutton hot pot is added with hot pot base, only part of it is added to enhance the taste, but it is not so spicy.Because most of the people eating at the banquet are elderly, their stomachs are more suitable for them than young people, and light dishes are more suitable for them, and this little bit of spiciness can make the lamb more delicious and greatly stimulate the taste buds.

Shen Xiaoyun also joined the ranks of eating mutton hot pot. Eating this kind of banquet depends on how skillfully you hold the chopsticks with your fingers. You must set the chopsticks accurately, and you can grab the piece you want to eat at once. In the end, you can take it back and put it in yourself in a small bowl.

It would be embarrassing if you put down your chopsticks slowly, pick and choose when holding them, or drop them just after holding them.

He even said: no food.

When eating banquets in the countryside, although everyone may not be elegant in eating and eating slowly, but most of them are very tacit, and they will pause for a while after eating. Choose, and be careful not to drop it on the table or the floor.

It’s rare to have a banquet, and everyone cherishes what they eat, and they will devote themselves to every dish.

The mutton in this mutton hot pot is very fragrant. The soup permeates into the mutton. The mutton is fat and beautiful. It tastes very juicy. The mutton is still very tender and the meat is delicate.Stimulating the tip of the tongue with a little bit of spiciness, the scalding heat is contained in the mouth, and even every exhale is full of mutton flavor.

Both fat and thin, the texture of every inch of that piece of mutton is perfect, blended with the soup base, mixed with a little bit of spiciness, taking a bite of the mutton, Shen Xiaoyun even tasted the taste of sour pepper, the sour soup is refreshing and full of juice The delicious mutton tastes even more delicious in the mouth, making people want to swallow it quickly.

When the mutton finally fell into the stomach pocket, the long-awaited stomach seemed to be satisfied, that kind of fullness and abnormal satiety, just like a small trick succeeded, with an indescribable satisfaction and joy.

Good food always puts people in a good mood.

The ingredients are fresh and the ingredients are top-notch. The mutton hot pot is not only delicious, but also the soup is mellow and sweet. Even the white radish stewed with it is also delicious. Each piece of white radish is cut into big pieces. , The radish meat is the kind of melon meat that is full and plump, very juicy, and stewed with mutton. The bland radish is a kind of food with good compatibility, and it can absorb the essence of other foods to a large extent.

For example, the thick soup made from mutton can be absorbed by radishes, and the deliciousness of the meat can be absorbed by it. It can also lock in the unique deliciousness. The ordinary bland radish can also have a strong meaty aroma, which is really a treasure. Same good ingredients.

Shen Xiaoyun especially likes the white radish that has just been fished out of the mutton hot pot. Each piece is dyed with some hot pot base ingredients, with a spicy and spicy taste, and the boiled white radish is very soft and rotten. With a little effort, it fell apart and melted in the mouth. The freshness of the radish meat and the sweetness of the mutton interweave into a perfect tune, singing an elegant melody in the mouth.

After eating a few more pieces of mutton and white radish, Shen Xiaoyun felt the warmth in his stomach, and his whole body warmed up. He scooped up some sour mutton soup and drank it very satisfyingly.

During this period, Shen Xiaoyun would occasionally pick up some other dishes on the table to eat, even if it wasn't the first hot dish, but the dishes on these banquets were still delicious, compared to his usual meal of one or two meat dishes, it was much more delicious .

Mutton hot pot is very popular. Even if it is a dish that is served later, everyone’s stomach still has room to make room for it. In the end, there is only a little mutton soup and carrots left in the pot of hot pot. .

Guests who love mutton will also drink some mutton soup from time to time.

"This mutton is really delicious. Grandma Wang's cooking skills are getting better and better."

"It's also rare to eat it once, and it's a good thing that Xiaoxiao built a house, and we also followed suit. Otherwise, where can we eat mutton, and we can't wait for the Chinese New Year to sell it for a good price."

"Haha, that can't be helped, who in this village doesn't like us Xiaoxiao."

"There should be a few more dishes in the back, Xiaoxiao, you can eat more later, don't be slow, if you go back hungry, it's a good thing."

Shen Xiaoyun was eating the fat sausage stir-fried with sharp peppers, and it was delicious. The sautéed fat sausage was tender and elastic, and it was chewy and chewy. The taste was unbelievable.The villagers at the same table seemed to have almost eaten, most of them were sitting and chatting, occasionally picking up a chopstick or two, and Shen Xiaoyun was the only one who was eating.

Hearing that the topic was about herself, Shen Xiaoyun raised her head and nodded in agreement with a smile.

This is a must. You must eat enough. It’s been a long time since I caught up with this one. There are so many delicious foods. If you don’t eat enough, you will definitely lose money when you go back.

Before the next dishes were served, Shen Xiaoyun took out the mobile phone hanging in front of his chest, and the live broadcast lasted for quite a while. It should have been more than an hour since he went to see the back kitchens of various restaurants, and now he had dinner, and he did not follow him during the period. Netizens interacted, and Shen Xiaoyun thought about it, but still felt that she had silently picked up a fried chicken leg to suppress her shock.

Because there were still many people at the banquet, Shen Xiaoyun couldn't act too far, waved to the netizens in the live broadcast room, and took a bite of the spicy chicken leg.

Mmm, chicken legs are delicious.

The skin is crispy and crispy, the chicken inside is still tender, and the spicy taste is especially suitable. After eating one, I want to eat another one.

The netizens in the live broadcast room all know that Shen Xiaoyun likes to release poison uninterruptedly, but they usually release poison at the eating place, which is the kind of poison that they can usually eat, and they think it is quite homely. They have already adapted to the aftereffects of being poisoned .

However, they still underestimated the insanity of the anchor. This time, the poison was released for more than an hour, non-stop, non-repetitive, and they were poisoned from spitting to foaming at the mouth...

The saliva is over, only the stomach acid is left.

The netizens in the live broadcast room all know that this is poison, or the kind of poison that is very poisonous late at night, but they are reluctant to move the camera away. Even if the host's camera sense is extremely poor, when filming, there may be a moment when they want it very much. Look, there is no warning, the camera shakes violently in the next second, and you can only see the anchor's hand, or a drink bottle, or even a cheap wine glass...

"Anchor! Quickly move your hands away and hang your phone in another place. You are blocking my view. I want to see if there are any dishes I like on the table."

"I really want to say, why do you always block the camera, I can't see it all..."

"I said, are you stupid? The anchor is toasting the villagers with his grandfather. How can he have time to take a mobile phone? The mobile phone must be hanging around his neck. And the one upstairs, you give it to me What a good idea, the phone is not hanging around your neck, is it hanging on your eyelashes, hanging on your ears, can you hang it for me?"

"Don't get excited, don't get excited! Everyone is a fan of the host, please be kind. We are all brothers in the same room. If you have something to say, don't be happy to see so many delicious foods? I took a screenshot of the picture, and when I get back, I will find a restaurant and eat two or three dishes at a time, and after eating for ten days, I will come back."

"If you go to a restaurant to eat, it must be different from what the anchor eats, and don't underestimate the banquets in the countryside. Now the banquets in the countryside taste much better than the food in the hotel. Those cooks are top-notch. The delicious food will make you three fatter However, the premise now is that if you go out to a restaurant, it will cost two hundred dollars, and if you eat for ten days, what will you do for the next 20 days?"

"I have eaten banquets at my home, and sometimes I have delicious banquets. Those dishes are really amazing. Once I ate the grilled fish cooked by the chef. The crispy skin and fried crispy skin were also delicious. Crunchy, fragrant and gluttonous, the tender fish meat is very delicate and delicious. I even eat the side dishes under the grilled fish with great relish. In such a situation, if the chopsticks are not firm enough, I really can’t eat it. A few mouthfuls. Later, because I was thinking about the taste of the grilled fish, I found several good restaurants, but the results were not satisfactory, and I always felt that the banquet was not as delicious as the one I had at the beginning."

"I have also had a banquet in the country. They have a dozen tables or dozens of tables at a time. Several cooks open the fire together. The big pot of dishes is called a fragrant one. The deepest memory in my memory is a pot of chicken with pork belly. It seems to have pickled peppers, the sour taste, tsk tsk, it’s really a perfect match, I never eat pork belly, I think it tastes weird, but that time I ate a few pieces before I realized it was pork belly, it’s delicious to doubt life."

"I once ate hot pot at a banquet in the country. It was also made of mutton. It was very similar to what the anchor had just eaten, but the portion here is not so much, and it is also delicious. When I saw this dish served at the banquet, I remembered it. The banquet in my hometown, alas, I miss it so much, but I seldom eat it now, because I am afraid that my relatives will nag me and ask me why I don’t talk about my boyfriend. Occasionally eat a meal, or during the Chinese New Year, when relatives gather When we get together, people who specialize in banquets will come to cook a few tables, but unfortunately, every time the people who come here during the Chinese New Year cook things that are not authentic, and it is rare to have a good meal at someone else’s house, you can’t be angry if you say it!”

"The fish balls and fried pork with fungus were served first at our house. However, we don't seem to have so many pastries and cold dishes. In the past, cold dishes would be served in advance and served in small plates, but now they become the main course! The banquet is so boring, so perfunctory, sometimes preserved eggs are a dish, so is the chicken feet with pickled peppers, I take them all."

"What is this? I even count eight-treasure porridge as a dish here."

"Do you know canned coconut meat? There's a lot of water, and there's only coconut meat in it. It's the kind in a big jar. One bucket is as big as a bucket of milk powder. On our side, there will be one or two cold dishes at the banquet. This is it, It’s like drinking sugar water, once I tasted it, I doubted my life. The key is that everyone still likes to eat it, and the canned water is gone.”

"I don't think you guys are nothing. Anyway, I've seen the most flamboyant one ever, and you guys can't compare to it. Served a plate of Xizhilang jelly!!! This operation is flamboyant."

…………

It seems that everyone is having a good time chatting, they are all talking about the banquet at their own home, and there are quite a few dishes that are very similar to theirs here.

In fact, in the past few years, the banquets in Yunshui Village were quite formal. The dishes were very particular, and each dish also contained a meaning, with the meaning of blessing in it.But now I don’t pay attention to it, just serve it delicious.In the past, not only did the names of the dishes match the dishes, but the dishes served also had good meanings, and they were served in pairs. For example, there were six cold dishes, twelve meat dishes, eight of which were the main meat dishes, pure meat dishes, There cannot be any vegetarian dishes in it.Then the dishes are served in an orderly manner. Generally, there are two cooked dishes, and one with soup. The order will not be as random as it is now. In the end, there are four kinds of soup dishes, two of which are vegetarian dishes. The staple food is served with tamales or large pieces of braised pork, rice And the noodles are only the last greasy solution, which can be said to be very particular.

For these banquets, the women in the village are also worried, because there are many dishes that have bad meanings and will break taboos. The older generation is especially taboo. If you don’t pay attention, you will be scolded for a long time. Find a way and discuss it well.

In recent years, it has been slowly changed. The dishes don’t have to be so standardized, and the styles don’t have to be so fancy, and they don’t need to pay attention to the meaning, and don’t need to be in pairs. When the soup is served, as long as the dishes are ready, they can be served at any time Serve on the table, but the only reservation is that the last dishes must be in pairs.

In fact, it’s quite good. It’s a very troublesome thing to hold a banquet. There are so many people to eat and drink, and the helpers in the back kitchen don’t have time to eat. Most of them can eat at the end, and the food is cold at that time. Well, the taste is not as good as the first one out of the pan.

But now it is much better. Each family divides a few dishes, and only needs to finish those two or three dishes. After they are ready, they can serve the dishes on the table, and they can find a place to eat at will. It is casual and very humane.

After watching the live broadcast for a while, two dishes were served one after another, one is steamed pork with flour, and the other is steamed fat intestines with flour. Both are very good meat dishes. They are fragrant and soft, and the salty taste is very suitable for serving. People with bad teeth eat it.

So as soon as these two dishes were served, the people around the banquet picked up spoons one after another, scooped them up and blew on them, and then began to eat with relish.

"Xiaoxiao, this steamed pork is delicious, hurry up and eat more, it's just served out, it's very fragrant."

"The fat sausage steamed with powder is also delicious, that is, you can eat pigs that are slaughtered during the Chinese New Year, but they are not as fat as my own pigs, and they are not tasty enough."

"Of course, there is no home-grown fertilizer that you buy outside, but this one is also good, just try it."

……

Shen Xiaoyun hung the phone around his neck again, scooped up some steamed fat sausage, he had eaten the steamed meat before, and he wanted to take a bite when he didn't eat the sausage.

Just like steamed pork with rice flour, after steaming fat intestines with flour, those steamed rice flour granules are greasy, each grain of rice has absorbed enough oil, revealing a light, the full color, soft and sweet taste, Shen Xiaoyun couldn't help but tilt up when he ate it Mouth.

Fatty sausage seems to be a little fatter than pork belly, but fatty sausage does not have as much oil as pork belly, and has more collagen. Therefore, after a long time of steam cooking, fatty sausage softens and forms a large amount of transparent jelly. Mixed with rice noodles, it becomes sticky and sticky, perfectly sticking together with rice noodles, each string of fat sausages is covered with reddish-brown shiny rice noodles, because after cooking, fat sausages have a lot of collagen, and even when eaten Some sticky lips, take a sip, still has a meaty, powdery sweetness.

After eating a few mouthfuls of steamed fat sausages, Shen Xiaoyun felt a little dry, and took a few mouthfuls of soup from the fish balls.

After eating half of these two dishes, the pig’s trotters that have been used for the longest time are also brought out. This pig’s trotters have been stewed for a long time, first marinated and then deep-fried. , the steamed skin is crispy and rotten, and finally topped with the prepared sauce, there are many procedures and the taste is good.

The pig’s trotter was served whole, plump and greasy just by looking at its appearance, but the thick outer skin of this dish was filled with solid lean meat.

The kind with a lot of lean meat.

After an elder took the lead, the others also took out their chopsticks. When the chopsticks were poked down, the fat-looking skin was crispy, but when poked, it spread apart like tofu, and the lean meat inside was soft and tender. , as soon as it is clipped, it is as tender as the steamed fish, and the big bone inside falls off freely, and the aroma of stewed meat makes everyone present subconsciously sniff.

In the past, Shen Xiaoyun always felt that the pig's trotters were too fat and oily, and he never touched the outer layer of skin, and only ate the lean meat inside. Once, he accidentally picked up the wrong part and caught the fat part. This layer of skin is not greasy at all, and the stew is very crispy. It is not as greasy and thick as imagined. Instead, it tastes springy and refreshing. It is a bit similar to soaked chicken feet. It tastes springy and has a bit of chewiness. , When chewing, it will bounce and bounce.

Because this pig's trotter was the last dish, everyone had almost eaten, and the pig's trotter was not finished at the end, and the people who were eating felt a little bit reluctant, and they still muttered: "If this was before, where would it be?" There's still leftovers, all eaten."

"That's right, out of the ten dishes at that time, eight plates were taken back empty, and now they're still on top."

After seeing the rice served, everyone filled some more rice, and Shen Xiaoyun also filled some. Most of the banquets were heavy-flavored meat dishes with a lot of oil and water. If you eat too much, it will inevitably be greasy and your mouth will feel dry. Rice can relieve these symptoms, and at the same time make the stomach less swollen and more resistant to hunger.

Shen Xiaoyun finished the toast at the back, and kept her head buried in eating, and she was almost finished. There was only a small bowl of rice, and she picked some favorite vegetables to serve with the meal, and she had a round stomach after eating properly.

After everyone finished the banquet, they sat at the table for a few minutes and chatted for a while. Seeing that other people who were eating the banquet looked like they had finished eating, they said goodbye to each other one after another, and went home.

Shen Xiaoyun asked grandpa to go back first, and he helped to clean up the dishes on this table. After cleaning up, he went to help another table. Other tables also did the same. After everyone cleared up, some people would help Wash the dishes, and return the borrowed tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks to other people.

This is very common in Yunshui Village. Today you helped my family, and the day after tomorrow my family held a banquet, and I will also help your family. In this way, when you come and go, many things are reduced a lot and a lot of trouble is saved.

After Shen Xiaoyun finished moving the tables and chairs, the aunts chased him away and asked him to go back to rest. After all, there were so many tourists in his family who needed to be taken care of, and the aunts still looked down on Shen Xiaoyun doing housework, thinking that he was making trouble.

Shen Xiaoyun, who had nothing to do, walked back slowly with the smell of food all over his body. Before he entered the yard, he saw many tourists standing in front of the fence of the yard, like children who had been left at home for a long time. He looked at the direction of the intersection with pitiful eyes, waiting for the adults at home to come back.

The moment he saw the adult come back, his eyes lit up, but when he saw that the adult's hand was empty, he returned to indifference and alienation.

"Anchor, is the food at the banquet delicious?"

"How many dishes are there at the banquet? Isn't it rich? Isn't it more delicious than the ones at home?"

Shen Xiaoyun nodded again and again, and said truthfully: "The food and wine are all delicious, together with cold dishes and desserts, there are almost 30 dishes, and I didn't even count them, but the portions of each dish are very large, and everyone is full. The food and wine were cooked by the aunts and mother-in-laws in the village who are very good at cooking, and their cooking is very good, and the cooking is much more delicious than what I eat at home."

The tourists swallowed their saliva silently, their hearts were bitter, they wanted to cry, and they felt a little wronged.

Why can't I eat it myself?

He clearly knew that even if he asked, he wouldn't be able to eat it, but he still didn't control his mouth, and asked the cheapest one, and it was even more aggrieved to ask.

"Anchor, which craftsman are we going down to see?" Other tourists wanted to stagger this painful topic.

Shen Xiaoyun thought for a while, then shook her head: "I won't go to the craftsman's place this afternoon. I have something to do this afternoon, and someone will come here to check tomorrow. We will spread the mattresses of the farmhouse, and put the kettle, teacup, toothbrush, etc."
