Duan Hongxuan delivered two crucian carp and a large piece of tofu to the deaf old lady, and then went home to prepare lunch. Today is the National Day, and the deaf old lady and the others all know that they need to have a good meal during the holiday, and Duan Hongxuan is certainly no exception.

A large pot of rice was simmered in the pot. Duan Hongxuan began to handle the ingredients. After the ingredients were processed, Duan Hongxuan put the mutton and hoof that needed to be stewed in the pot first, and other vegetables that needed to be fried were not rushed to the pot.

With Duan Hongxuan's cooking skills and speed, it won't be too late to cook again when they come back.

Duan Hongxuan finished taking care of the kitchen, carried a lounge chair and a small table, sat in the aisle in the front and back yards, made a pot of tea, and drank tea leisurely. After a while, the door rang, and then he heard a burst of chatter and laughter.

As soon as I heard the laughter, I knew it was the gang of shopping people who were back!

Everyone saw Duan Hongxuan as soon as they entered the door and greeted him one after another, "Brother Hongxuan!"

"Brother Hongxuan!"

"Hongxuan, you are so laid-back!"

"...!"

Li Xianghong smiled and said to Duan Hongxuan: "Hey! You are so leisurely at home. The street is so lively. You don't want to go out, so you just stay at home alone. You can really stay there!"

Yan Jiedi also ran to Duan Hongxuan excitedly, "Brother Hongxuan, it's a pity that you didn't go shopping with us today, the street is so lively!

Today we met a parade organized by the steel rolling mill, and we even walked along for a while, which was really interesting!"

Duan Hongxuan smiled and said: "Are you tired after shopping all morning? I see how hot you are, go and wash your face!"

Xiao Dang excitedly jumped his short legs, ran over quickly, threw himself into Duan Hongxuan's arms, and said with a smile: "Uncle Xiucai, the street is very lively today, there are so many people, I was almost squeezed out."

I no longer care about my aunt, but in the end it was my aunt who held me! Hehehehe!"

The little girl had two braids, her face was flushed, and her forehead was sweating. Duan Hongxuan helped her wipe the sweat from her forehead, "Have you had enough shopping today? Look at the sweat on your forehead!"

When the little girl heard this, she naughtily rubbed her head against Duan Hongxuan's body. Duan Hongxuan laughed and scolded: "You little naughty kid, you rubbed your sweat on me, you did it on purpose!"

The little girl giggled and said, "Hehe, I'm wiping my sweat!"

Qin Jingru came over and picked up Xiaodang and scolded: "Where are you wiping your sweat? How can you use your scholar uncle's clothes to wipe your sweat?

Get up quickly, don't be naughty, or see how I deal with you!

Jie Di, take Xiaodang, Huahua and Xiaohu and wash your face quickly, they are all sweaty!"

"Xiaodang, Huahua, Xiaohu, let's go and wash your faces! Yueyue, Liangliang, Dahu, you guys are coming too!" Yan Jiedi took several children to the backyard to wash their faces!

Wu Xinghua and Han Dazhuang also came over at this time. Duan Hongxuan greeted: "Brother Xinghua, Brother Dazhuang, you two are rare visitors. I rarely see you here. It's a holiday today, so don't go back at noon. How about our brothers?"

Have a nice drink or two!

Let these little guys eat here for lunch, I will cook a good meal for you on National Day!"

Wu Xinghua and Han Dazhuang looked at each other, and then Wu Xinghua nodded generously and said: "Okay, then we brothers will not be polite to you, we will eat at your place this noon, you are a big family, hahaha!"

Xinghua, how are you?"

Wu Xinghua also nodded: "Okay!"

At this time, Dahu ran over with a wet face. Wu Xinghua saw this and asked: "Huzi, you finished washing your face so quickly? You didn't even say you wiped your face!"

Dahu chuckled: "Hey, brother, it's okay, it's cool like this!"

Wu Xinghua shook his head. Boys like Dahu are the age when they are most naughty and restless.

"Huzi, when you go home, tell your parents that your Hongxuan brother is treating us to a treat at noon. Let's have a good meal at your Hongxuan brother's place at noon, and tell your family not to cook for us!"

Huzi nodded happily and said, "Okay brother!" Then he ran towards the gate happily. Duan Hongxuan quickly stopped Dahu: "Dahu, wait!"

When Dahu heard Duan Hongxuan calling him, he quickly stopped and said, "Brother Hongxuan, what else can you do?"

"Please run two more steps, go to the deaf old lady's house and say hello, tell me that your uncle Xinghua and the others will eat at my place for lunch, and tell her not to prepare their meals!"

Dahu nodded: "I understand, Brother Hongxuan! Is there nothing else going on? I'll go over if nothing happens!"

"Go for it!"

"Okay, Brother Hongxuan!"

At this time, He Yuyu and Yu Haitang were busy getting chairs and cups for everyone. Qin Jingru went back to the house to bring iced sour plum soup to everyone. Everyone saw this and hurried over to help!

Soon, everyone sat down around the small table. He Yuyu and the others went to wash the fruits and get peanuts and melon seeds for everyone. Qin Jingru poured the sour plum soup for everyone, and everyone couldn't wait to pick up the cups and start drinking!

"Hiss! It's so refreshing!"

"Ah, it's so comfortable!"

"It's so cold!"

""

Everyone was sweating after going shopping. Now they come back to wash their faces and drink the cool and refreshing sour plum soup. Not to mention how comfortable they are!

Yan Jiedi said happily: "Brother Hongxuan, your sour plum soup is sweet and sour, but also ice cold. It tastes really good, even better than popsicles!"

We even bought popsicles on the street today! If I had known you had such delicious sour plum soup, we wouldn’t have wasted money buying popsicles on the street!"

He Yuyu said: "Popsicles are popsicles, and sour plum soup is sour plum soup! We can't go out on the street with a cup of sour plum soup! Even if we do hold a cup of sour plum soup, it won't be iced after we walk on the street for a while!"

So, we can only drink sour plum soup at home, but outside, we can buy a popsicle, hold it in our hands and eat it slowly! Each has its own advantages!"

Yu Haitang nodded: "Yes, sour plum soup is inconvenient, but popsicles are more convenient!"

Li Xianghong took a few sips of the cold sour plum soup to cool down the heat, "I think the popsicles are not as delicious as the sour plum soup!"

After finishing speaking, Li Xianghong asked Duan Hongxuan: "Hongxuan, today is the National Day. We are celebrating the festival. What delicious food are you going to make for us?"

Duan Hongxuan smiled and said: "On such an important holiday as National Day, Brother Zhuzhu went out to buy a fish and planned to show off his skills at noon. Of course I have to prepare something delicious for you!

The rice has been simmered in the pot, and the mutton is also simmered in the pot. Later, we will make braised pork ribs, shredded pork with green pepper, stewed lotus root with hoof, stir-fried kidney, stir-fried pork liver, spicy chicken nuggets, and another one.

Hand-shredded cabbage and vinegared cabbage, and then fish head and tofu soup!

What do you think, are these enough to eat? If you are still hungry, I have some beef in sauce, cut it up and serve it!"

"Zi Liu!" Everyone listened to Duan Hongxuan announcing the names of the dishes one by one as if talking about cross talk. Just listening to the names of the dishes announced by Duan Hongxuan made everyone salivate. Xiao Liangliang was very hopeless.

He slurped down his saliva and made a sound, which made everyone burst into laughter!

The adults and children sitting here who live in Duan Hongxuan's courtyard can eat meat at least every day at Duan Hongxuan's house. After more than half a year and almost a year, they no longer get salivating when they hear about eating meat like before.

But other people can't. Except for Li Xianghong, it's good for everyone else to eat meat once a month. That's not much, and at most it can satisfy their cravings. Not to mention eating only grains, the vegetable oil made at home is enough.

Poor young man, how could he withstand Duan Hongxuan’s temptation!

The others were just a little older, unlike Xiaoliang who was still a child, and even made a sound of saliva when they slurped, but they all couldn't help but secretly swallow the saliva!

Li Xianghong often came to Duan Hongxuan's place to make a living. When he heard the name of the dishes Duan Hongxuan reported, he nodded with satisfaction: "Your food is better, the food here is better than those at the previous landlords' houses!"

By the way, Hongxuan, you just said to make fish head and tofu soup, where is the remaining fish body?"

Duan Hongxuan said with a smile: "Sister Xiang Hong, so many dishes are not enough for you?"

"You don't care whether it's enough or not, you've made the fish head, why are you leaving the body?

Why don't you use the fish body to make your boiled fish for everyone? I haven't eaten it for a long time and I'm still missing it!

You tell me, you have nothing to do to create such a dish. It is so delicious that people will miss it after eating it once!"

Duan Hongxuan looked at Li Xianghong, suddenly thought of something, and then smiled inexplicably: "Okay, since I have spoken to Sister Xiang Hong, I have to give you this face!

But there are enough dishes for lunch. Let’s do this. Let’s have boiled fish for dinner. Brother Xinghua and Brother Da Zhuang will also have dinner here. We won’t drink in broad daylight at noon. Let’s call Brother Zhuzi together for dinner.

Let’s have a few drinks and feel dizzy, just in time to go home and sleep! How about it?”

Li Xianghong nodded proudly: "This situation is enough to give my sister face! Geez!

You are so generous, and I am too lazy to be polite to you, so I just saved two meals! That’s it!

Xinghua, let’s eat Hongxuan’s for dinner, we’ll all be treated like big-money eaters!”

Seeing that his wife had said this, Wu Xinghua smiled and nodded in agreement. Han Dazhuang was a little hesitant: "Well, isn't this bad? Why are you so embarrassed? I have to eat from you for two meals a day. Isn't this inappropriate?"

Li Xianghong said carelessly: "Dazhuang, what's inappropriate?

You should know what our family was like before. Although our family had a difficult life before, we were not willing to accept help from others casually.

But Hongxuan is different. After having been in contact with him for so long, if he is willing to treat you as a friend, the more casual you are with him, the happier he will be. If you are polite and coy with him, he will think that you

awkward!

He treats you as one of his own. If you recognize him and treat him as one of his own, then be generous and don't think about things, let alone push him around politely. Isn't that Hongxuan?

?”

Duan Hongxuan smiled and nodded: "Sister Xiang Hong is right, you will learn from Sister Xiang Hong when you come to my place from now on. Look at Sister Xiang Hong, when you come to me, it will be like returning to her own home. If you want to eat

Just take whatever you want, you don’t even know what it means to be embarrassed!

She comes to my place now, and I don't even bother to say hello to her. I get what I want to eat and pour water myself. I don't even bother to say hello to her. I just let her do whatever she wants!

This is great, I can save some saliva and energy!"

"Hehehe!"

"Grrrr!"

Everyone couldn't help but chuckle when they heard Duan Hongxuan's interesting words. He Yuyu smiled and said: "Sister Xiang Hong, does Brother Hongxuan mean to say that you are thick-skinned, ha ha ha!"
