Plant peaches with uncle

It is not so much a hot pot as it is a stew pot. The bottom is made of cabbage, and big bones are placed on top of it. On top of the bones are various balls, vegetables, luncheon meat, mushrooms, etc. prepared by the third grandma.When Su Ruoyan took a bath and came down from upstairs, she saw the third grandma putting oily tofu into the boiling stew pot. There were two bowls next to her hand, which contained vermicelli and rice cakes. The whole hall was boiling with the stew pot The final steam is wrapped in a rich aroma that makes people salivate.

"Come here, Xiaoyan. The third grandma made a stew pot. You can adjust the seasonings yourself." The third grandma waved at Su Ruoyan, speaking the local dialect of the old city. Su Ruoyan could roughly understand what it meant, but she couldn't speak it.

"Come on, third grandma, the smell of the stew pot is so delicious. I smelled it when I was taking a shower upstairs. My mouth is watering." Su Ruoyan ran to the table in a few steps, snuggled up to the third grandma, and said sweet words , making the old man laugh again and again.

The third grandma's legs and feet are inconvenient. One leg was broken by a rolling stone when she went up the mountain more than ten years ago. Since then, she has been disabled and cannot stand for a long time. Adding vegetables to the pot, he quickly helped the old man to sit down, "Third Grandma, I'll get the vegetables."

"Okay, just put the oily tofu in it, cover the pot and cook for a while, then put the vermicelli and rice cakes in. Xiaoyan wants to eat rice or hand-rolled noodles. If he eats noodles, I'll make them now. "

The third grandma supported the table and was about to stand up, but Su Ruoyan stopped her, "Third grandma, I will make the hand-rolled noodles. I will make sure they are delicious. Let you taste what I make and give me guidance. This opportunity must be given to me." Me, otherwise I won’t be happy if I don’t have the chance to perform.”

The third grandma touched Su Ruoyan's hand lovingly, and nodded with a smile, "As long as Xiaoyan makes it, it will taste delicious."

"Of course." How to make the old people happy Su Ruoyan has his own way. It is all the experience he got from his grandparents. In front of these old people who really care about themselves and are kind-hearted, Su Ruoyan doesn't mind pretending to be coquettish, as long as he makes them happy. .

The third grandpa's house is a two-story small building that has been built for more than ten years. The kitchen was built separately. It was next to the small building. Su Ruoyan went into the kitchen and found a bag of flour familiarly. For boiling water, he simply used Lingquan water instead. Lingquan water has a warming and nourishing effect on the body. He hoped that the family of the third grandfather who ate the noodles made of Lingquan water will be healthy.

Grandma is good at making noodles by hand. Su Ruoyan often helped her and learned a lot. He knew how much noodles to use, how much water to add, and how much salt to grasp. Soon a smooth dough was under his hands. Shaped, patted the dough habitually, then put it into a large bowl, covered the bowl with a clean towel, let the dough fully wake up, and waited until the stew pot was almost eaten before making noodles. OK.

Su Ruoyan washed his hands and came out of the kitchen, and saw the third grandfather who was going out to find his son and daughter-in-law leading the way to the house, followed by four people. From his figure and clothes, Su Ruoyan could tell that it was Aunt Ming and Qin Chengyu. Walking a short man, I don't know him very well.

"Third Grandpa, Uncle Ming, Aunt Ming, you are back."

"Xiaoyan has taken a bath, and we just came back to eat together." The third grandfather happily walked inside, and did not forget to introduce the two people he brought home to Su Ruoyan, "This is the big boss of the real estate company, Boss Qin, next to him is His lawyer, eat with us and stay at my house at night."

"Third Grandpa, I know you." Then Su Ruoyan asked, "Uncle Qin, you didn't go back?"

"Well, there are still some things that have not been resolved, and we need to stay for another day." Originally, we were going to leave at night, but the mountain roads are difficult to walk after dark, and today's windy weather makes it even more unsafe, so Qin Chengyu decided to let everyone stay. Accommodation and food expenses are borrowed from villagers' homes.

There are about [-] people from Hengyuan Company, and only a small part of them were seen at the village chief's house before. The village chief was quite enthusiastic when he learned that they wanted to stay overnight, so he hoped that he could pay off the merits and let the company Don't make trouble for yourself anymore, he was scared out of his wits by what the lawyer said.

The village head’s house is big, but it’s not enough to accommodate more than 20 people, so he called some villagers who had vacant houses to come over. Uncle Ming and Aunt Ming left because of this, and when they came back, they brought back what the village head wanted. Qin Chengyu and Li Xiangjin tried their best to keep them but failed in the end.

"So you know each other." The third grandfather was surprised. A gust of wind blew over and made everyone tremble. "Don't stand at the door and talk, go into the house and eat stew pot today. It's the most comfortable in this kind of weather."

After entering the house to wash your hands, everyone ate together. The main course was the stew pot made by the third grandma. All kinds of ingredients were neatly placed in the pot, and then the chicken soup that had been boiled in advance was poured in. While eating, the induction cooker under the large casserole was still cooking. The dishes in the pot are always steaming hot, and it is most comfortable to eat in cold and humid weather.

In addition to the stewing pot, the third grandmother also steamed the sausages, cured chicken legs and dried fish made during the Chinese New Year. The sausages and cured chicken legs can also be cooked in the pot, and the taste is also very good. The fish is not good, and it will taste fishy when cooked.

When Su Ruoyan was about to eat, she got up and rolled out the noodles with her hands, and Aunt Ming helped.

"Xiaoyan, the hand-rolled noodles you made are so beautiful." Aunt Ming stood beside her and couldn't get her hands in. It was not a problem to look at them, so she filled two bowls of corn flour, added sugar and baked corn cakes, waiting for her When the tortillas are ready, it’s good to see Su Ruoyan’s hand-rolled noodles. Almost one or two pieces of dough are put together on the plate. It looks good, “It’s just like the ones in the restaurant.”

"I learned from my grandma, and she is even better at it."

"Fourth aunt is good at cooking. I heard from my aunt that she is a famous Qiaoniang in the village."

Su Ruoyan smiled with You Rongyan, his grandma's cooking skills are not what he boasted about, they are quite good, the kind that after eating once, you will miss the second time.

The hand-rolled noodles and corn pancakes were ready and brought out, and some shredded cabbage was placed in the stew pot in the main room, and Su Ruoyan's noodles were put in as soon as they came up. have eaten.

When the noodles are cooked, everyone first eats the corn cakes made by Aunt Ming. The home-grown corn is ground, and the flour is not very finely ground. The corn cakes are grainy, sweet, chewy, and very good. eat.

Chatting during the meal just now, the third grandpa's family already knew that Qin Chengyu was his grandfather's student, and Su Ruoyan wanted to call him uncle, so they became more warm and thoughtful towards Qin Chengyu.

"There is only one empty bed in the house, but it is very big. There are thick quilts for you, and there are electric blankets inside. I turned it on before taking a bath, and it was warm after I went in. The quilts were clean. The weather a few days ago When it’s good, it must be comfortable.” Because Qin Chengyu and Li Xiangjin will live in their own house at night, the third grandma has already figured out how to arrange it, but they don’t know if people in the city would like to share a bed with the two of them, and their family has a simple population. , there is only one vacant bed, if you don't want to sleep together, it will be a bit difficult.

Li Xiangjin had a smiling face, no matter he was happy or angry, he always smiled. He broke off a small piece of corn cake and threw it into his mouth. After listening to the third grandpa, he swallowed the corn cake and said: " Boss, I'm not used to sleeping with others at night, and I have a bad back, so why don't I trouble you to sleep on the floor at night."

"No, no, you'll get cold if you lay on the floor in this weather." The third grandma shook her head quickly when she heard this. The tiled floor was cold, and no matter how thick the quilt was, it was still chilly.

"Then what should we do?" Li Xiangjin rolled his eyes and looked at Su Ruoyan, who had lifted the lid of the pot and was looking at the noodles inside, "Xiaoyan, how about letting the boss live with you, our boss sleeps well and won't disturb you Yes. It just so happens that your uncles and nephews also talk at night to communicate with each other."

"It's an old house over there, and it's quite cold at night." Su Ruoyan was in a dilemma.

"It's okay, the boss is young and energetic, and he is not afraid of the cold."

Su Ruoyan was a little speechless, she was also very angry and not afraid of the cold, but she turned her heart around for a while before being kicked into the corner, "Well, Uncle Qin, what do you think?"

Li Xiangjin's eyes were about to blink out trachoma, Qin Chengyu could not agree, he could only nod, "Then senior can sleep alone, I'll go to Xiaoyan's house."

Li Xiangjin squinted his eyes and smiled, and gave Qin Chengyu a veiled look of "the senior will help you here". If he hadn't been with Li Xiangjin for many years, Qin Chengyu would not be able to understand the meaning of the look, and shook his head helplessly.

Just when the noodles came out, Su Ruoyan, the youngest, took the initiative to serve noodles for everyone. A bowl of noodles was filled with soup and slipped into the mouth. The noodles full of soup tasted richer and more delicious.

"It's delicious." Li Xiangjin expressed everyone's aspirations.

"I've done this before, isn't it so delicious?" The third grandfather took a bite of the noodles, puzzled.

"Because there are more people eating together is more delicious. Third grandfather, you should drink more soup. I think the soup tastes very good. Drink it to warm your body."

In the past, eating was deserted, my son was a boring gourd, and my daughter-in-law didn't talk much. I heard the sound of bowls and chopsticks clinking at the dining table. Whatever I ate was not delicious. The third grandpa thought the noodles were delicious. for the sake.

Su Ruoyan breathed a sigh of relief, and buried her head in eating the noodles in her bowl.
