Different God of Cooking [Rebirth]

The car with a beige shell was driving on the muddy road, bumping continuously for more than two hours, and finally arrived at the destination.

"The Lower East Village is here." The driver's voice broke the dullness in the car.

Zhao An really wanted to get out of the car to breathe fresh air, but the bumpy car exhausted all his strength, so he could only collapse on the car seat.Zhao An didn't expect that he would actually get motion sickness himself. This feeling was really too strange and uncomfortable, and his brain and body were completely out of control.

The main reason is that expressways are not yet popularized. The road that the car drove just now is the road that will be classified as a rural road in the future. Basically, the whole road is dirt road, not even cement, and it is full of potholes.In addition, Zhao An is only 11 years old now, and his body is not yet mature, so he couldn't help but lose his composure in the car.

Zhao's father got out of the car with Zhao An on his back, holding New Year's goods in both hands, and Zhao's mother did the same with her hands.

Zhao An looked at the crowded and bustling market in front of him, listened to the hustle and bustle of shouting, and the vermilion door couplets that could be seen everywhere. This is life in the countryside.

Zhao An leaned on Father Zhao's not-so-broad back, and took a deep breath, forgetting how long he hadn't been here.

Although it is said that they have arrived at Xiadong Village, in fact, they are still some distance away from Zhao An's final destination.After walking for more than ten minutes, Zhao An felt the discomfort in his stomach subside a little, and at the same time saw their destination, a yellow-brown mud house.

After entering the yard, the first thing you hear is the sound of a dog barking. Rural people always like to keep a dog in their home, which is necessary for fire prevention and theft prevention.

Then I heard a full-fledged voice in the middle: "Yuejin, you are back! An'an, come and give grandma a hug."

Just now, after Zhao An's body recovered a bit, he struggled to get off Zhao's father's back and asked to walk alone, and then offered to help his parents carry a bag of New Year's goods.

At this time, Zhao An directly threw the new year's goods to his father, then threw himself at his grandmother, and said coquettishly, "Grandma, I miss you so much."

At the same time, an old man walked out of the room behind him, it was Zhao An's grandfather.Grandpa Zhao yelled: "The second child's family is so tired, why don't they come in to rest."

The way Grandpa Zhao spoke was exactly the same as that of Father Zhao.At this time, Grandma Zhao gently pushed Zhao An, and Zhao An immediately understood.He ran out from Granny Zhao's embrace, and rushed towards the serious-looking old man, shouting loudly: "Grandpa."

Grandpa Zhao, who had a serious face just now, looked at Zhao An who was hugging him, couldn't hide the smile on his face, and kept patting Zhao An's head with his hands.

Taking advantage of this time, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother had already brought the New Year's goods into the house.

"Mom and Dad, I bought this for you." Father Zhao put three quarters of the things on the table and said to Grandma Zhao.

Milk, salted duck, biscuits, hard candy...these are the most fashionable New Year's goods this year, and the whole table is filled to the brim.

Grandpa Zhao, who had just been "melted" by his grandson, scolded again: "What are you doing buying so many things! You don't know how to save money at all!"

Grandma Zhao on the side also echoed and said: "It's not easy for you to work outside. I heard that Lao Wan and his son went to Pengcheng to work, and it only cost more than 80 yuan a month. What you bought here means that your monthly salary will be gone. ,Such a waste."

Usually, Grandma Zhao manages the money and buys things at home, so she knows the prices of these New Year's goods very well.

At this time, it was Zhao's mother's turn to appear. She walked up to the second elder and told the story of her and her husband's stewed vegetable stall, and at the same time told the second elder their current income.

Although Zhao's mother is not well-educated, she speaks in an orderly and logical manner, and usually communicates with guests mostly through Zhao's mother.

Because telephone communication is expensive in the village, it was three months ago that the two elders had contacted Zhao's father last time.Hearing that their son and daughter-in-law have changed so much in the past three months, the two elders were more than happy when they were surprised.

If it weren't for the obstruction of the village secretary, the second child would not have to bring his wife and children to work in the city.Now that my son's family is happy, that's better than anything else.

However, the saving of rural people is indeed engraved in the bones. Grandpa Zhao still disapproved: "Even if you have money, you should save it. What if something unexpected happens in the future?"

Zhao An supported his grandfather, knowing where his father's frugality came from.

However, under the persuasion of Zhao An's parents, the two elders finally accepted the New Year's goods.Then it was placed in the most conspicuous place in the hall, and a colorful porcelain vase that was originally placed there was moved away.

Looking at this scene, Zhao An chuckled inwardly, because he knew the meaning of this position.People in the countryside often visit each other, and when they go to each other's homes, they will naturally notice the things placed in the most conspicuous places.

Although the second elder will not tell others about the current income of Zhao's father and Zhao's mother, he will definitely show off to others the new year's goods that his second son and second daughter-in-law bought for him.

This feeling is as if parents especially like to post their children's certificates in the most conspicuous place at home, which is the nature of parents who want to show off to the world.

Zhao's father is the second child in the family. There is an elder brother above him, and a third brother and younger sister below him.Zhao An's uncle and third uncle have already started their own families, and they don't usually live with the elders.

This is also the request made by the two elders on their own initiative. Now that they have married, they should live separately, so as not to cause disputes over various trivial matters, and instead break up the good family.

However, Xiadong Village is not very big, and Uncle Zhao and Sanbo Zhao’s homes are not far from the two elders. As long as it’s not the busiest time of farm work, they will come back to see the two elders every now and then, let alone invite the two elders to their respective homes for dinner from time to time. .

After a while, both the uncle and the third uncle came to the second elder's house.Things like the New Year's Eve dinner must still be prepared at the second elder's home. Foods such as bacon and sausages have been prepared these days.They went to the town's market in the morning to "rush" to buy the ingredients needed for tomorrow, so they came a little late today.

Seeing that Father Zhao's family had arrived and hadn't seen each other for several months, the three brothers naturally had endless things to say, so they started chatting immediately.

Perhaps because of Grandpa Zhao's request to separate the family and live alone, there was no discord between the brothers of the Zhao family, and the brotherhood has always been very good.

Mother Zhao went to the kitchen to prepare lunch with the two sisters-in-law.And Zhao An's task is to chat with his grandparents and report to them about his situation in Rongcheng Primary School.

If Zhao An hadn't tried his best to stop him, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother would have brought back Zhao An's certificate and test papers.

The next day, everyone woke up early, and Zhao An was no exception.

The posture of cooking New Year's Eve dinner in rural areas is much bigger than that of urban people. Except for some necessary ingredients that have been purchased in advance, other things are made from local materials.

For example, chickens and ducks are raised free-range in the yard by the elders. They are not fed any feed, and they rely entirely on their own foraging. It takes one to two years to grow to more than two catties, and they definitely have the most delicious and chewy taste.

When Father Zhao went to catch chickens and ducks, they seemed to realize the fate they were about to face, and ran around the yard, not wanting to be caught by Father Zhao.

"Second brother, you haven't done farm work for half a year, why can't you know anything?" Uncle Zhao smiled at his younger brothers, and then he went out himself, forced them to a corner, and quickly caught them.

At this time, Zhao Dabo's cuisine is really a chicken in the left hand and a duck in the right hand.

Seeing that his companion had been captured, the remaining chickens and ducks suddenly changed from running to pacing slowly, as if to say: At this time, as long as they run faster than their companions.

As for pork, Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Zhao are old and no longer raise pigs.But both the uncle and the third uncle raised two or three pigs at home.The two brothers have agreed that it is enough to kill a pig every Chinese New Year.

This year it was Zhao Sanbo's turn to slaughter pigs, and they had already slaughtered them two days ago. Most of the pork had been sold at the market, but the best pork was kept at home.Today's dishes involving pork include tamales, sauerkraut smooth pork noodles, and shaved pork soup.

"It's been a long time since I ate pork chop soup." Zhao's father sighed beside him.

"Second brother, when are you going back to the city? Why don't you stay for two more days and let's make pork chop soup?" Uncle Zhao said enthusiastically.

The planed pig soup mentioned by Uncle Zhao is not the same as the planed pig soup made today.What Uncle Zhao said is more appropriate to call it "planing pig soup banquet".

The planed pig soup banquet is a folk custom with a long history in the western provinces of China. It pays attention to seven bowls and eight dishes, and fifteen dishes are all related to pork.The most common ones are tamales, twice-cooked pork, stir-fried pork liver, sauerkraut smooth pork noodles, and shaved pork soup.

However, dishes such as twice-cooked pork and fried pork liver are not suitable for the occasion of the New Year’s Eve dinner. The New Year’s Eve dinner is usually eaten from afternoon to night. This kind of hot stir-fried dishes lose their heat and taste in a short period of time. I can't make more classic dishes of "shaved pig soup".

"Forget it, I have to go back to do business." Father Zhao has already told his brothers about his stewed vegetables business, so that they don't have to worry.

Seeing the family busy up and down, Zhao An also wanted to help, but was rejected by the whole family, so Zhao An's task became to accompany his grandparents to oversee the work.

The children of Uncle Zhao and Sanbo Zhao are both boys.Zhao Da, the son of the uncle's family, is already sixteen.His studies are very average, and he already knows how to help with farm work at home.Zhao Xing, from the second uncle's family, is eight years old this year and is still studying in the rural primary school in Xiadong Village.

After lunch yesterday, both the uncle and the third uncle left separately, so the three brothers had no chance to talk to each other.Today, the adults are busy with the New Year's Eve dinner, so the three brothers are free.

At this time, the three brothers were playing in the yard, and Zhao Da and Zhao Xing were very interested in Zhao An who came back from Rongcheng.Even Zhao Da didn't look like a big brother at all, and ran around with his two younger brothers.
