self-made god

Because of the incident on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the family was not very happy during Chinese New Year. Grandpa Xia and Grandma Xia even forced Xia's family to go back to the temple in the countryside to worship the gods. This is the most famous temple in the village near them, and there are many different people around. People from all over the country will come to the temple in their village to pray for blessings.

Xia Mu has also been here with his father since he was a child. There is also a special temple for cleaning. Every month, people are arranged to prepare vegetarian food in the temple. Many pilgrims come to eat.However, because it was all built with private funds, you have to pay to eat vegetarian food here, which is not much from five to ten yuan at a time, which means that everyone gathers together for fun.

What impresses Xia Mu most is that the vegetarian food here tastes very good, and the chef's craftsmanship is very good. Xia Mu decided to learn a few tricks from this cook after he graduated from university. As for why Xia Mu is not worried that the other party will not teach him, because this The cook is the uncle of Xia Mu's family, and Xia Mu's great-grandfather and uncle's grandfather are brothers.

"Uncle, I'm here again."

In addition to being a cook, the uncle usually also works part-time as a cook, so it can be said that he is half a magic stick!

"Xiao Muzi, long time no see."

The relationship with this nephew who was the top scorer in the college entrance examination was just mediocre before, but since Xia Mu won the confidence of the Xia family and became the top scorer in the college entrance examination, he liked this nephew very much.He has never been married all his life, and now he is in his forties without a child, and his knees are empty. In addition, no matter how indifferent he is to them, the brothers and sisters of the Xia family will greet him every time they see him and give him food. These are other cousins Our children can't do it.

"Where, I saw you years ago, but you were talking to Grandpa Seven and didn't see me."

"Have it?"

Uncle Tang rubbed his chin to recall, but couldn't remember.

"Okay, Uncle Wangcai, don't recall it, you won't be able to remember it if you think about it again." The uncle's nickname is Wangcai, and the children in the clan like to call him that, and he often jumps his feet in anger.Wangcai Wangcai, this nickname sounds good, but the name of a dog makes my cousin very suffocated.

"Aren't you looking for draws, kid?"

Uncle Wangcai raised his big slap to scare Xia Mu.

"You want to beat me, be careful your cousin beats you."

Xia's father was the king of children among them back then, and even Uncle Xia was not his opponent, but after getting to know Xia's mother, his temper calmed down a lot, and he became a good man who took care of his family, loved his wife and protected his children.

"Eh~ your dad is here too?"

As soon as he heard that Dad Xia was here, Uncle Wangcai immediately took his hand back.Among the group of boys of the same age, who hadn't been beaten by Xia's father?Even now, when I hear his reputation, I still tremble a few times without being afraid.

"I'm sure I'll be offering incense with my grandpa and the others right now!"

Because I am an old acquaintance of the family, the process of offering incense is very familiar, so I don’t need the guidance of the temple, Grandpa Xia and Grandma Xia can handle it, so Uncle Wangcai didn’t come out in a hurry. Entered the main hall of the temple, while Xia Mu casually burned a stick of incense and came out.Like most young people, he didn't really believe in it, even with the memory of the future.

"You're not going?"

Uncle Wangcai heard why the Xia family came back this time, why Xia Mu didn't care.

"My grandfather and my father are enough, and I am not missing. Besides, I ask the gods and Buddhas to bless everything, so can they still be busy?"

Xia Mu yawned, in order to catch up with the first incense stick, he woke up before dawn, was dragged into the rented car by his brothers and sisters, drove all the way back to the countryside, and finally grabbed the first one.

"..." Saying that didn't take into account my own wishes at all, little nephew, is it really okay for you to be like this?

hehe~

Xia Mu continued to yawn, not caring much at all, leaning against the wall chatting with his uncle for a while, and of course mentioned to him that he would learn to cook with him when he came back after graduating from university.

"Fine, as long as you don't think Uncle's workmanship is rough, you can come anytime."

Uncle Wangcai's craftsmanship is passed down from his family, but this family heirloom is not from the Xia family, but from his mother clan, so the Xia family really doesn't know how to do it, and Uncle Wangcai usually relies on his good craftsmanship to connect Private affairs, such as weddings and ceremonies nearby, will come to him, so even if he has no children, his life is very easy, much more comfortable than those with families and children.

"Uncle Wangcai's dishes are the best, what's rough?"

Xia Mu doesn't think so, he always thinks that the dishes made by people like Uncle Wangcai who cook with heart are the most delicious. Although the color is not as good as those famous chefs, but in terms of aroma and taste, Wang Uncle Cai will never lose to them.

"Hey, uncle, you are being modest, do you understand?"

Uncle Wangcai was very happy. His craftsmanship was approved by others, which made him more happy than gold falling from the world.

"don't know."

Xia Mu was very upset, so angry that Uncle Wangcai chased him and beat him again, and the two turned around the temple.

At noon, Uncle Wangcai stayed with them for dinner, and Xia Mu was also very greedy for Tangshu's Suzhai, so he persuaded his grandfather and the others to stay. Of course, Uncle Wangcai took him to light the fire, so he happened to watch Suzhai's cooking from a close distance.

In particular, Uncle Wangcai can still use vegetarian dishes to taste like meat, Xia Mu admires his culinary skills very much just because of this.

The firewood is collected by Uncle Wangcai himself from the surrounding mountains, or collected after cutting the shrubs and drying them, so it burns faster than those big firewood. Xia Mu has to add firewood to the stove from time to time.There was a small fire for a while, and a big fire for a while, Xia Mu's face was burned to ashes.

"It's been so many years since I've had a fire, it's really hard."

Xia Mu broke a yellow wattle stick into several pieces and stuffed it into the stove. He had to keep the fire going. Uncle Wangcai was cooking now!The scent made his saliva almost flow out.

"His~~"

"..."

Wangcai couldn't look directly at his nephew who looked greedy under the stove.He fried a few dishes in a hurry, and then put them on a plate for the other two children of the Xia family to take out, and then asked Xia Mu to fetch water to wash his face with a funny face.

"Wow~"

The spring water on the mountain is cool to the bone, and you don’t need a towel to splash it directly on your face. After rubbing it hard a few times, you can’t see any more ashes on your face through the reflection in the water, so you pour the water on the grass beside it.

"Uncle Wangcai, you really enjoy it. Not only do you eat mountain spring water, but you also use it to wash your face and bathe."

Even the water for washing vegetables is mountain spring water, which makes Xia Mu, who lives in the city and drinks tap water, jealous and envious!

"You can move back!"

Uncle Wangcai rolled his eyes at him, and he didn't feel back pain while standing and talking. Living in the village is not as comfortable as living in the city.

"Hey, maybe~"

Xia Mu smiled, after a few years he will definitely move back to his hometown, and when the time comes to directly connect the mountain spring water at home, he will also live a luxurious life.

I remember that when they were young, the water they used for food was also mountain spring water, but at that time they didn’t know how precious the water they used would be in later generations. Buying water for food, including their Xia family, is now buying water for drinking.

Xia's mother also worked hard to cook delicious meals, instead of using tap water, she chose the water she usually buys for drinking.The main reason is that the tap water also smells after boiling, which is not good to drink.In the past, I could only drink this kind of water when I didn't have the conditions. Of course, I don't want to drink this kind of water when I have the conditions.Every day in the city, people go to the countryside to pull mountain spring water and sell it back. Xia Ma would buy a bucket every day. Apart from drinking it, she would also use it for cooking and soup.

To be honest, the meals and soups cooked with mountain spring water are indeed more delicious than those cooked with tap water. Xia Mu never eats porridge cooked with tap water at home. He always thinks there is a strange smell in it, so he doesn't like it very much.

Uncle Wangcai cooked eight vegetarian dishes in total, and added a lot of rice to everyone. This is the rice grown by the people in the village. It is different from the rice used for sale. The rice is high, but it tastes delicious. The rice that Xia Mu's family eats now is grown by Grandpa Xia. It is similar to this kind of rice. Every year, Grandpa Xia grows a few varieties for the rations of his family and Xia Mu's family.

Uncle Wangcai's vegetarian dishes taste really meaty, with the flavors of chicken, pork and beef. Xia Mu almost loves them to death.Although he is a carnivore, he absolutely loves this kind of meat-flavored vegetarian food, and he can eat it for three days without getting tired of it.You must know that it is very rare for a carnivorous animal not to eat meat for three days, which shows that Uncle Wangcai is a vegetarian.

There were eight dishes and a pot of soup. There was nothing left, even the extra rice was made by the three brothers and sisters of the Xia family.

"Sister, aren't you afraid of gaining weight after eating so much?"

Xia Mu, who felt that he could still eat something, looked at the empty pot and plate and yelled in his heart that it was a pity.

"Hmph, isn't this vegetarian? Have you ever heard that vegetarians make you fat?"

Xia Wei glared at Xia Mu in displeasure, she just ate a little too much and said she was fat, the brat is really not cute.Rubbing my stomach, I did eat a bit too much, and I want to run to lose weight later~~ "But some people will gain weight when they drink water!"

Xia Mu opened his big eyes and said, although Xia Wei is not the kind of person who can get fat when drinking water, she is definitely not the kind of person who can eat anything and not get fat.At home, I always heard her saying that she wanted to lose weight. Why didn't she lose weight once she returned to her hometown?It made him miss a bowl of rice.

"..."

What if there is a younger brother who specializes in making his own table?Wait online, hurry up!

"Hahaha……"

The elders laughed and looked at the three children of the Xia family with tolerant eyes, especially Uncle Wangcai, who showed his big white teeth and almost blinded Xia Mu's eyes.The good thing about Uncle Wangcai is that besides his good cooking skills, he has big white teeth that make him proud. There is no one in the whole village whose teeth are whiter than his. Maybe the babies who have just erupted their milk teeth Can it be compared?
