Song Xi cooked a pot of sweet potato rice, spread dozens of pancakes with cornmeal, and made the boiled pork slices Lu Yuchen ordered, which was slightly spicy. She also made a braised pork stew with potatoes, a braised pork stew with bamboo shoot slices, and a braised pork slices with bamboo shoots.
Braised crabs and cooked a large pot of pork ribs and radish soup.
Vegetarian dishes include cold cilantro, stir-fried yellow cabbage, stir-fried shredded pork with celery, stir-fried eggs with leeks, and stir-fried spinach. There are ten dishes in total.
With several people working together, a sumptuous meal is ready.
When the food was served, Song Xi went to the yard again and lit the simple small stove made of mud. Then he put the wire mesh up, placed the washed oyster shells on them one by one, and put some bubbles inside.
Add the cooked vermicelli, then add the soaked and washed oyster meat and scallop meat, and finally pour the seasoning on it.
Next, just let the charcoal fire underneath burn like this and don't worry about it. When dinner is almost done, you can eat the vermicelli scallops and vermicelli oysters.
"Everyone eats!" Song Xi returned to the dining table and was a little surprised to see that no one moved their chopsticks.
"Sister Xi has worked hard, so Sister Xi should eat first." Lu Yuchen said seriously.
Song Xi sat down next to Zhou Yi, picked up the chopsticks, looked around everyone, and said, "There are not so many weird rules in my house. Let's just be casual. Comrade Zhao, try it and see if the food is cooked properly."
Not to your liking."
Through chatting, Song Xi learned that the postman's surname was Zhao. He was 32 years old and was married and had children. He had two sons and one daughter in his family. The girl was the third child, and the eldest and second children were both boys.
Her daughter-in-law is in poor health and cannot do heavy work, and cannot carry several kilograms of food. Comrade Zhao has to work and be busy at home. Although it is very hard, he is happy with it. It can be said that this is a rare good comrade.
Lu Yuchen picked up a piece of slightly spicy boiled pork slices and put it into his mouth. He was so delicious that he was confused, "Sister Xi, this boiled pork slices are so delicious! I have never eaten boiled pork slices like this."
.”
A trace of pride flashed in Song Xi's eyes. Her boiled pork slices were made using modern methods. Cornstarch and egg liquid were added into it. The slices of meat tasted particularly tender and smooth, not to mention that she also added a few bits of spirit.
Doesn’t spring water make it a hundred times fresher?
Song Xi smiled and nodded, "It's delicious, let's all eat more." Then she used a spoon to scoop out a large spoonful of boiled pork slices for Comrade Zhao, mainly because she was afraid that he would be embarrassed to eat, so she put it into his bowl.
, he can’t survive without eating.
Today, the village divided the meat, and everyone cooked and ate it. The smell of meat lingered in the sky of Ping'an Village.
Comrade Zhao was about to leave after eating, because it would take him an hour or two to go back quickly by bicycle, so he had to start early.
Knowing that he had three children at home and his wife was in poor health, Song Xi let him try a few vermicelli scallops and vermicelli oysters. In addition, she packed him a few vermicelli scallops and vermicelli oysters in an aluminum lunch box and asked him to take them back to his wife and children to taste.
taste.
In addition, he also packed two large dried yellow croakers, five kilograms each of dried oyster meat, scallop meat, and abalone meat, and two bottles of honey grapefruit tea jam. There is spiritual spring water in it, which can help his wife and children take care of themselves.
Radish, cabbage, coriander, yellow cabbage, garlic leaves...etc., there are a lot of various vegetables in the yard. I picked a big handful of each, which should be enough for Comrade Zhao's family of five to eat for a few days.
"Comrade, thank you, thank you." Comrade Zhao's eyes were red with excitement. He didn't expect to meet such a nice family in the mountains.
You know, his parents would not treat him like this. Because his wife is in poor health and cannot help him, their parents don't like her at all and have asked him to divorce and remarry many times. Find someone with a background and ability to deal with her.
He had a daughter-in-law who could help him with his career, but he refused and had a falling out with his family. After that, he moved out with his family.
Without help from his family, the burden of a family of five rests on his shoulders alone. Not only is he tired, but he has no savings. The family's life is miserable. As a grown man, he doesn't think it's a big deal.
The years were even harder than they are now. He just felt that his wife and children were suffering.
"Comrade Zhao, our husband and wife have no relatives, and our house is deserted during the Chinese New Year. If Comrade Zhao doesn't mind, you can bring your wife and children to our house to play when there is a holiday at the end of the year!" said the man who sent Comrade Zhao out.
At that time, Song Xi said something again.
Comrade Zhao has a good character and is responsible for his family, so his wife and children should be good too. Song Xi doesn't have many relatives and friends in this time and space, so she wants to make more friends with good character and upright views.
Comrade Zhao nodded, waved to everyone, and pushed the bicycle away, because there was a slope and a small stream outside Song Xi's house, and one had to cross a small wooden bridge over the stream to ride a bicycle.
Seeing Comrade Zhao leave on his bicycle, everyone returned to the dining table and continued eating. Song Xi asked, "Yuchen, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. You also want to go home to visit relatives, right? I'll pack you some dried seafood later."
!”
"No, I'm not going home to visit my relatives." Lu Yuchen shook her head and refused. Now her home is occupied by Lu Yuxuan, her parents and fiancé are also occupied by Lu Yuxuan, why is she going home?
Rather than go back and suffer, it is better to stay in Ping An Village, out of sight and out of mind.
Song Xi guessed that Lu Yuchen's not going home might have something to do with her sister at home, so she said, "Since you're not going home, then come to our house for dinner! It just so happens that my sworn brother is injured, come over and help me."
"That's good!" Lu Yuchen readily agreed. When she faced Song Xi, she felt close to her, and she also wanted to be close to Song Xi. Who wouldn't want to be close to a capable and beautiful girl?
"And Gu Beicheng and Xiang Yang. If you don't want to stay at the educated youth point, you can come to our place during the day, but you have to go back to the educated youth point to rest at night because our home doesn't have such a big place." Song Xi glanced at Gu Beicheng and Xiang Yang again.
Xiangyang.
Because she knew Ji Rufeng was going back to Beijing, she didn't say such words.
After everyone had a full meal, they went to eat vermicelli scallops and vermicelli oysters. The vermicelli scallops that had just been taken off the wire fence were extremely hot, but a few people seemed not to be afraid of being burned. They kept stuffing them into their mouths and kept talking.
It tastes delicious.
Zhou Yi injured his leg and couldn't eat anything too greasy, so Song Xi baked ten dishes with less oil and less salt for him. Because of the Lingquan water, even if nothing was added, the seafood would not be fishy at all.
After eating and drinking, and tidying up the house, Lu Yuchen, Ji Rufeng and the four of them returned to the educated youth point, while Song Xi continued to boil water and deal with the pheasants and shelducks sent by Qian for the people.
First pour boiling water over their feathers and then start plucking them.
