Wearing sixty with a male god

Half and half of money and food, Xu Hengzhou paid a small amount of remuneration and moved back three jars. At the same time, he agreed with Master Shan that he would provide a batch of wine and ask him to help brew another batch of snake wine, and the reward would be paid accordingly.

Master Shan agreed immediately, and then cleaned up the newly caught snakes at home, and waited for Xu Hengzhou to send wine to him, and gave him a batch of the best snake wine.

In the blink of an eye, it was Xiang Chen's birthday. When he got up in the morning, Xu Hengzhou specially cooked a bowl of noodles for him. The noodles were long and the noodles were made of bone broth. A bowl of sumptuous noodles kicked off Xiang Chen's birthday.

Before inviting the guests, Xu Hengzhou discussed with Xiang Chen what kind of dishes to serve. At this time, everyone's appetite is not small, even for a half-year-old boy like Xiang Chen, it is not a problem to eat two bowls.There is no shortage of ingredients in their house, but if they want the guests to eat well, the noodles must not be bad, so many meat dishes are served all at once, which is too eye-catching.

Xiang Chen suggested: "Why don't you eat hot pot? There are too many people to eat, and it's warm to eat in winter. Serve the side dishes slowly, and it doesn't look like there are so many."

Xu Hengzhou thinks this method is good, because he doesn't know if the guests can eat spicy food, he plans to make two kinds of pot bottoms, they don't have mandarin duck pot, and it's not easy to take out the ones in the space, so Xu Hengzhou simply borrowed a stove and a small dish I borrowed my son's pot and borrowed the dishes.

The stove was borrowed from Chen Youshan's house, and the pot was an aluminum pot from Aunt Yu's neighbor's house. At this time, it was normal to treat guests to dinner, borrow tables and chairs, borrow bowls and chopsticks, and they didn't feel embarrassed about it.

After eating the noodles in the morning, Xu Hengzhou began to prepare. The big bone soup was boiled early in the morning. This was used as the base, and the red soup had to be re-fried.Xiang Chen was packing up the ingredients. The green vegetables were washed and sliced, the radish and mushrooms were processed, and the dried vegetables sent by the villagers had to be soaked in water before they could be boiled to taste.

In the middle of the morning, all the people they invited came, and they said that it would be fine if they came, but no one was free.The siblings of the Jiang family had a relationship with them, and they were the first to come. Jiang Lei grabbed a pheasant from his back basket. He secretly beat it on the mountain, but he didn't dare to take it back, so he hid it and sent it to Xiang Chen.

Lin Jiayan came with Gao Yang, and he brought special products sent by his family. His hometown is near the sea, so he even brought a bundle of dried seaweed.Gao Yang was very honest, he just picked up a few catties of grain and put them in the kitchen, those who didn't know thought he was paying for food.

After a while, Xiang Chen's little friends arrived one after another. Hei Wa and Hua Ni'er brought some eggs, Mei Zi brought a piece of konjac, saying that her mother made it herself, and Shan Zi directly brought a snake over, blushing. Yan explained to Xiang Chen that the snake's meat is the most tender...

Xiang Chen never refuses anyone who comes, no matter what it is, it is his heart.Seeing him accepting it with a smile, the children were relieved, with smiles on their faces.

Because there were so many people, Xu Hengzhou simply put the stove in the yard, and the first ones helped to burn the stove. After the fire started, Xu Hengzhou poured the two prepared soup bases into the pots separately, and put them on the stove first.

Just the smell of the soup base is very fragrant, and the children swallowed while thinking wildly. They don't know why they boiled such a big two pots of soup, and one pot smelled very choking. Could it be that they are only invited to drink the soup?

Lin Jiayan knew what was going on, he glanced at it in surprise, and asked Xu Hengzhou: "Are you going to cook it?"

Xu Hengzhou was rinsing and slicing the konjac sent by Meizi. This thing can also be eaten in hot pot, and many people like it.

Hearing Lin Jiayan's question, he squinted at the bottom of the two pots: "Yes, which one do you like to eat?"

Lin Jiayan grinned happily: "Red soup, I like spicy food the most."

Xiang Chen looked at him in surprise, Lin Jiayan is from the south, the taste there is sweeter, and the food is also light, I didn't expect Lin Jiayan to be so heavy.

It was almost time to eat, and everyone worked together to move the packed ingredients to the table in the yard, and soon the table was full, dried vegetables, vegetables, tofu, pork blood, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, dried seaweed, sliced ​​meat, etc. , just looking at these is rich enough.

As today's little birthday star, Xiang Chen greeted the guests to sit down around the two stoves, and introduced how to eat hot pot with a few friends. The faces of the children were full of excitement, and this new way of eating was enough for them Go back and show off.

After eating, the atmosphere became even more enthusiastic. Everyone tried two kinds of pot bottoms first. The red soup was spicy and the white soup was delicious, both of which were rare and delicious.Those who hadn't eaten it at first were not used to the red soup. After eating a few more mouthfuls, the children all ate the dishes in the red soup while inhaling spicy.

Lin Jiayan sat on the side of the red soup from the beginning, Jiang Miao and his brother actually liked spicy food until the end, there were only three people on the side of the white soup pot, Xiang Chen, Xu Hengzhou and Gao Yang.Xiang Chen and his brother can eat any kind of soup, there are so many people there that they are too lazy to squeeze, Gao Yang really can't eat spicy food, don't look at him tall and big, after taking a bite of the meat that Lin Jiayan gave him, he almost burst into tears Come.

The ingredients were placed on the table at the side, and anyone who wanted to eat could pour them into the pot. Xiang Chen saw that they only put in other things, but kept the two plates of meat. Put it into the red soup pot, save some and pour it into the white soup pot for Gao Yang to eat.

Regardless of the fact that there was a lot of meat, it was immediately scooped up as soon as it was put into the pot. Xiang Chen said that the meat would not taste good when it was overcooked.

Xu Hengzhou was well prepared, the kitchen had packed ingredients, he added whatever was empty on the table, even refilled the soup twice, he ate up all the ingredients that Xu Hengzhou had prepared in advance, each and every one of them was full of hunger, and he couldn't wait to eat them all. The soup base was also given to drink.

Xu Hengzhou smiled wryly, he really prepared a lot of ingredients, but he didn't expect them to be eaten up. Fortunately, he still had a second trick, cooking noodles for Xiang Chen in the morning, and there were still some noodles left. I ate half a bowl.

The red soup was undrinkable, but the white soup was completely drunk. After a meal, everyone was paralyzed and didn't want to move. They were too full.

Even Xiang Chen was taken with him, and he ate half a bowl of noodles, followed by belching, and secretly asked his brother for hawthorn slices.

After resting for a while, all the people came back to their senses. They smacked their mouths to savor this rare delicious meal while helping Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen clean up the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks.Everyone worked together, and the yard and kitchen were soon restored to cleanliness. A group of people carried the things borrowed by Xu Hengzhou's family and walked together laughing and laughing to help them return the things.

It goes without saying how the children boasted about the meal they ate at Xu's house after returning home. Aunt Yu met Xu Hengzhou later and even mentioned it, saying that the two children of her family had talked about it several times after returning and wanted her to cook it too. , how could she know such a rare thing.

Aunt Yu helped them a lot, Xu Hengzhou would not be stingy with this little thing, and said to her kindly: "This is very easy to make, and there are some red soup bases at home, I will ask Xiang Chen to send it to you, just add water Just boil it, you can put anything in it and cook it.”

Aunt Yu was overjoyed, and thanked him while thinking that this New Year would be another delicious meal for the family.She heard from Hua Nier that even if the tofu and konjac were cooked in it, it would be delicious, not bad for meat.

After returning home, Xu Hengzhou opened a few bags of hot pot ingredients, poured them into small jars, sealed them, and asked Xiang Chen to deliver them to a few acquaintances, as well as Lin Jiayan and Jiang Miao.

The soup base cooked with hot pot base ingredients alone is definitely not as good as the bone broth, but in this era of poor supplies, it is still rare and delicious.The few families that received the bottom ingredients knew how to eat without teaching, and the other few families had explained it carefully to Xiang Chen.

These aspiring families didn’t start eating directly. They waited until the Chinese New Year and had a delicious meal. Several restaurants were full of spicy and delicious flavors. The hot pot became popular all over the whole Dahe Village. I want to eat it again, my mouth is watering when I haven't eaten it, I really want to try it.

This thing can become popular, the most important thing is that most of the ingredients are thrown in and it is delicious, even the cabbage and radish that are tired of eating have a new taste, which makes people want to stop.

Afterwards, some people specifically asked Xu Hengzhou to change the hot pot seasonings, but Xu Hengzhou didn't dare to give them any more. He reasoned that they had all been sent to him from other places, and he didn't have any.

When they left, Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen looked at each other in blank dismay. They really didn't expect that there would be such a follow-up after inviting someone to eat hot pot.

As soon as the year is over, spring begins, and Xu Hengzhou's birthday is in January. This year, after Xiang Chen's 11th birthday, he is already [-] years old.Xu Hengzhou's [-]th birthday was a rather important day, but he didn't want to make it a big one, and he didn't invite anyone.

Xiang Chen worked in the kitchen for a long time by himself, and brought out a bowl of longevity noodles with his face covered in flour. Compared with what his brother made for him, it was really not good enough. He blushed and sang to the bowl of noodles for his brother. a birthday song.

Xu Hengzhou listened to his children singing "Happy Birthday to Brother", and finished eating the longevity noodles made by Xiang Chen with a smile on his face.

After settling down, the days flowed like running water, and once the winter passed, the village became busy.The adults are busy with spring plowing, and the children are digging wild vegetables and picking fruits to help with chores, and there are no more children playing around in the snow.

Xu Hengzhou went back to work again. He was considered a skilled worker. Chen Youshan regarded him highly in his heart, and the work assigned to him was not heavy.

Xiang Chen went up the mountain with a few friends and brought back a lot of good things. The Chinese toon sprouted and picked spring buds. They took it home, washed it, wrapped it in flour, and fried it. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and Xiang Chen could eat a piece plate.

Sophora japonica flowers are blooming, so you can pull them. Sophora japonica buns are especially delicious. The stuffing made with minced meat tastes several times better than pure meat buns.

Xiang Chen also learned to climb trees, not as fast as other friends, but the first time he lay down on a tree branch to talk to his brother, Xu Hengzhou was startled, and subconsciously opened his arms, fearing that he would fall off.

Later, Xu Hengzhou didn't forbid him to climb trees. It's true that boys are a bit wild. He felt sorry for Xiang Chen, but even if some things were dangerous, he shouldn't stop him from doing them.

After the spring plowing, the weather became hotter day by day, and many children in the village liked to go down to the river to play in the water, and the voices of adults beating and scolding children could be heard every day.

Xiang Chen also wanted to go, he couldn't swim, but he couldn't help being envious when he saw other children playing in the water.And when it gets hot in summer, going swimming is a good way to escape the heat.

When he first came to the village, Chen Youshan told them that many children drowned in the river, except for those who didn't fall into the water in winter, most of them sneaked away to play in the water in summer and drowned.Children who grow up by the river are not weak in water, but those who are good swimmers drown, and most of them are able to swim.

Xiang Chen originally thought that his brother would not allow him to play in the river, but Xu Hengzhou took the initiative to mention this matter. He is very good at swimming, so he took time out to take Xiang Chen to learn swimming, and taught him by hand, watching him from following A little frog can only flop, so that a person can come and go freely.

Afterwards, Xu Hengzhou brought Xiang Chen back home with a face full of excitement. On the way, he said to him earnestly: "We will stay here for several years. It is impossible to keep you from entering the water. I will teach you how to swim, but you have to promise me .First, you must tell me in advance when you go to the river; second, you can’t go alone, there must be someone beside you; third, move your body before entering the water to avoid cramps; fourth, you are not allowed to go to dangerous deep water areas, and don’t Comparing breath diving with other kids. Can it be done?"

Xiang Chen nodded solemnly: "Yes."

He knows that his brother is doing it for his own good, so he must do what his brother asks, so as not to worry him.

After Chun Geng finished his work, Xu Hengzhou took the time to meet with Chen Youshan, told him about taking a long vacation, and asked him to write a letter of introduction so that he could go to the northwest to see Song Wenbin.
