Cut the tender pork liver into thin slices and soak it in clean water to remove the blood. Then touch two chili peppers and stir-fry it and it will be a plate of delicious food.

The waist flowers cut into squid flower knife were already warmed up in a large bowl with white wine and shredded ginger. There were also brown pig blood rippling in the water after cooking in the wooden basin. These are all quick-shou dishes and there is no need to stew them too much.

The real big head was still in the wooden basin in the yard, and half of the uncut ribs were domineeringly declaring his existence. Xuan Yu and the others were busy dividing the mountain paste into even pieces of meat. Du Heng had already taken the pork belly with his eyes and hands. While the meat was still emitting the remaining warmth, he had already cut the meat into pieces.

In the small pot, the braised pork has been stewed in the pot. When the sponge cake in the large pot is steamed, Du Heng will prepare to stew the rice and prepare for lunch.

While waiting for the sponge cake to be steamed, Du Heng had already processed four dishes. In the morning, he made soup buns and sponge cakes. It was a bit difficult to make a domineering pig-killing dish. He was going to deal with it casually at noon and make a big meal in the evening.

As he was talking, the sponge cake had been steaming for three incense sticks. Du Heng carried the steamer to the dining table: "The snack is good!! Is anyone eating the sponge cake?"

The sponge cake in the steamer looks like a pink gem, looking pink and tender. Du Heng applied oil on the chopping board and then turned the sponge cake upside down on the chopping board. At this time, you can see the mystery inside the sponge cake. From the side, the sponge cake looks layer by layer.

There is a layer of red bean cake in the middle of the pink rice flour, and you can see red beans irregularly embedded in the middle. A faint sweetness spreads out in the kitchen and is then drawn into the yard by the formation.

After a while, the demon cultivators in the yard ran in. As soon as Chonghua entered the door, he sniffed: "What's the smell? It's sweet."

Du Heng cut the sponge cake a few times, and the sponge cake was divided into even fan-shaped pieces. Du Heng warmly greeted everyone: "Try it quickly."

Xiaoxiao is always the first to support him. He took a big bite of the sponge cake and then made a singular laugh.

Feng Gui pinched a piece of pine pastry and commented: "It looks average, but it's very soft when you pinch it." After he ate it, Feng Gui commented again: "It's soft, different from the previous cake, but it's also delicious."

The sponge cake that just came out of the pot has the fragrance of spiritual rice and tastes loose and soft. Moreover, the sponge cake is very elastic and more chewy than the cake. Jing Nan liked it in the first bite: "Hey, this is good, I like the red beans inside." The honey red beans mixed with rice noodles are beautiful and delicious. The soft red beans do not have that strong graininess, but after chewing, they taste completely different from the rice noodles around them.

Du Heng looked around and found that Xuan Yu was not in the kitchen. He walked to the kitchen door and looked at it. He saw Xuan Yu standing in the yard and looking at the sky. He didn't know what he was thinking.

Du Heng picked up a piece of sponge cake and walked to him: "What are you looking at?"

Xuan Yu smiled and said, "There will be heavy snow. Maybe the snow will not stop before the New Year." Du Heng handed over the sponge cake: "Stop, stop. Anyway, there is food at home, so at worst you don't go out."

Xuan Yu took Du Heng's hand and took a bite of the sponge cake. Du Heng paid attention to Xuan Yu's expression. He then took a bite of the sponge cake and raised his eyebrows slightly. Du Heng handed the sponge cake to Xuan Yu's mouth: "Is it delicious?"

Xuan Yu took another bite and savored it carefully: "It's delicious."

Du Heng handed the pastry to Xuan Yu: "After making a lot, you know you will like this taste."

Xuan Yu asked slowly, "Did you make it for me?" Du Heng didn't react for a moment, and nodded: "Yes, you seem to like sweet things."

Xuan Yu's smile bloomed in his eyes, and his calm face appeared in front of Du Heng. He smiled, like a flower blooming on the top of the mountain: "Thank you."

Du Heng actually stared at Xuan Yu's smile for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses. After he realized, he turned back to the kitchen with a blushing face and ran away: "No need to thank you, no need to thank you..."

Xuan Yu smiled happily. This year was the most fulfilling New Year after he arrived in the village. He liked that he felt like Du Heng at home.

Everyone couldn't open their stomachs and ate the sponge cake. After Du Heng went in, he put it away: "You can't eat too much, you'll have lunch later. You first ate crab roe soup buns and stuffed so many sponge cakes, so you won't be able to eat it later."

Everyone smelled the smell of braised pork. Compared with braised pork, the attractiveness of the sponge cake was not that great.

There were braised pork, stir-fried pork liver, stir-fried waist flowers, spicy stir-fried pork, and sea duck egg chicken mushroom soup. Although there were only five simple dishes, each dish was very large. Eight people didn't finish a meal.

After lunch, heavy snow fell, and everyone who had eaten and drank was sleepy and meditated, and they all scattered. Only Du Heng, Xuan Yu and three small animals were left at home.

Du Heng stuffed two old clothes from Xuan Yu into his nest in previous years: "It's snowing, you two are weak and don't run around, just sleep well in the nest." The two little chickens snuggled together and looked at Du Heng with their black bean-like eyes. Du Heng reached out and touched them. The two little chickens actually pecked at Du Heng's hand, which made Du Heng laugh: "The hair is not growing, and you can still peck at people. Did you learn from Xiaoxiao?"

Xuan Yu walked out of the door: "Is the barrier in the yard going to rise?"

There is a barrier in the courtyard. When it is windy and rainy, as long as the barrier rises, it will be impossible for the wind and rain to come to the courtyard. Before, Xuan Yu just raised the temperature in the courtyard a little. Now heavy snow is falling. If the barrier is not fully opened, the temperature in the courtyard will still drop, and a layer of white snow will accumulate in the courtyard.

Du Heng thought for a while and said, "No need to upgrade, there is nothing else in the yard."

Maintaining the barrier also requires spiritual energy. If there is insufficient spiritual energy, spiritual stones need to be replaced. Du Heng thought that there was nothing important in the courtyard anyway, and it would be fine if he didn't upgrade to the barrier.

As soon as Du Heng finished speaking, he thought of the thin bamboo: "Will the bamboo freeze to death?"

Xuan Yu said: "I have added a barrier to the bamboo alone and will not freeze to death."

Du Heng said happily: "Then the barrier will not rise. We will close the door tonight, so the house will not be cold. There is snow in the yard, and small wontons can also play with snow at home."

The puppy was happiest to see the snow. Du Heng thought that it would be a happy thing if he could stand upstairs and see the puppy playing in the yard.

After Du Heng marinated the ribs, he found that Xuan Yu was sitting on the chair and taking a nap. Xuan Yu supported his forehead with one hand, closed his eyes, and his long and dense eyelashes left a shadow under his eyes.

Du Heng remembered what Chonghua and the others said. Before he came to the village, Xuan Yu had to hibernate every year. Because of Du Heng's arrival, Xuan Yu failed to hibernate well this year.

Seeing Xuan Yu who was dozing off, Du Heng felt a little distressed. Even though he knew that Xuan Yu was a big monster, he was also a flesh-and-blood body, and he would be sleepy and tired.

Du Heng called Xuan Yu in a low voice: "Xuan Yu, are you sleepy? Go upstairs to rest?"

Xuan Yu opened his eyes and a little blood appeared in his eyes. Xuan Yu said embarrassedly: "There is no temperature for sleeping alone."

Du Heng looked at the yard. It was snowing so hard that Jing Nan and the others would not come until the meal time. He thought he could sleep with Xuan Yu for an hour, and Du Heng said, "I'll sleep with you!"

To be embarrassed, it may be that the food was so good after arriving in the village. Du Heng actually had a spring dream. In the dream, he was so happy that his soul flew out. Then the other protagonist of Chun Meng was Xuan Yu! Du Heng shivered and woke himself up.

He heard Xuan Yu's even breathing sound coming from behind him, and one of Xuan Yu's arm rested on his waist. Du Heng got out of the bed awkwardly from the other side of the bed. He stepped on his feet and blushed and went out of the bedroom to the bathroom.

Xuan Yu on the bed closed his eyes and smiled at the corners of his lips.

When Du Heng finished washing and appeared again, the snowflakes outside fell like goose feathers. Standing on the terrace on the second floor, looking towards the front of the village, only a piece of white was seen.

There was a formation on the terrace, and snowflakes could not fall on it. However, the heavy snow still lowered the temperature on the terrace. Du Heng stood on the terrace and breathed a sigh of white mist appeared beside his mouth. Footsteps came from behind him, and he knew it was Xuan Yu without looking back.

Du Heng suddenly felt a warm feeling on his body. He turned around and saw Xuan Yu take a coat and put it on him: "Why are you here? Can't you sleep?"

Du Heng smiled and shook his head: "I slept for a nap for a short time, and I'm already full. What about you? Are you still sleepy? Do you want to go to bed for a while?"

Xuan Yu said: "I have already rested. What are you looking at?"

Du Heng said: "Looking at the snow, it's the New Year in two days. How thick will the snow fall. By the way, there are also people from Wanshoufang who said they brought us things before the New Year. Now it's snowing, it's not easy to walk, and I don't know how they deliver it. If there is a contact information to tell them, it would be great to ask them to wait for the spring next year."

Xuan Yu said: "They are not fools, and they probably won't come if they snow heavily. There have been such situations before, and they also wait for spring to deliver things. When encountering extreme weather like rain and snow, the delivery date can be pushed back."

Du Heng breathed a sigh of relief, and he smiled and said, "That's good."

Du Heng and Xuan Yu leaned on the armrest of the terrace and watched Erxue talk for a while. Du Heng looked at the sky: "You can prepare for dinner."

Tonight he wants to make pig slaughter dishes, so he needs to prepare a little in advance. There is a hard dish among the pig slaughter dishes that Du Heng’s family wants to make, that is Qiaotou ribs.

Take five of the best crocks and don’t chop them. After marinating, hang them on top and fry them in the pan. Place the fried ribs on a plate like a bridge, sprinkled with peanuts and other side dishes, which tastes crispy and delicious and tasteless.

Among the pig-killing dishes of Lao Du's family, Qiaotou ribs will appear as the finale. The domineering ribs can make the neighbors praise each time. The housewives will ask their parents how to make this dish every time. However, no matter how hard they try, the taste will not be as good as their own.

The pig's belly contracted after being heated. The two originally quite big pig's belly became as big as the fist when it burned. It looked as if it wasn't very good.

But when Du Heng picked them up and cut them open, the thick pork belly revealed a rich inner part. The pork belly, which was not stretched out by the chicken, was thick in meat, and you could see layers of clear muscles when you cut them.

Du Heng likes to eat pork belly, pork belly chicken, pork belly fried pickled vegetables... Give him a bowl of rice, he can finish a bowl of pork belly.

After the pork belly was cut, Du Heng placed it in a casserole next to him. After he chopped the chicken into pieces and blanched it, the two ingredients were obediently stayed in the same pot.

Du Heng raised the stove under the eaves of the corridor, and the flames in the stove licked the bottom of the pot slowly. After the water boiled, Du Heng added ginger and peppercorns to the pot. He lifted the stove to the leeward place, and the steam coming out of the casserole rose and mixed with the falling snowflakes. There seemed to be a little more temperature in the ice and snow.

Du Heng clapped his hands and said happily: "I can throw a cockfighting boy into it later. This soup must be very fresh. By the way, I can also cut a winter bamboo shoot and put it in it, so that I can still eat the bamboo shoots!"

Xuan Yu smiled and said, "Well, all you cook is delicious."

When the strong fragrance of the chicken came out, Feng Gui and the others came on the snow: "Before the meal was time to eat, I smelled the fragrance of chicken soup. Is it time to eat now?"

Du Heng said honestly: "Not yet." The soup was not cooked and the ribs were not fried, but the guests entered the venue. Du Heng was a little embarrassed.

Xuan Yu said calmly: "Don't worry, it's their business to do yourselves slowly."

Jing Nan put his hands on his hands and said, "Yes, yes, three meals a day, and the last meal started before we could digest it. We also need to find something to do, just leave us alone."

Yun Zheng and Lao Dao looked at each other: "Practice practice?"

Three inches of snow had accumulated in the yard. In the heavy snow, Lao Dao and Yun Zheng showed their strong muscles naked on their upper body. They punched each other in the yard.

Du Heng was so impressed with bamboo shoots in his hand. Lao Dao and his team were so powerful, right? They were even more energetic than martial arts stars on TV!

The first time Jing Nan saw Du Heng was fascinated by the sight, he cleared his throat: "Chef Du, do you want to practice boxing and kicking?"

Du Heng, who was holding the bamboo shoots, actually asked shyly: "Is that OK?"

Feng Gui and Jing Nan looked at each other and smiled: "Of course!"

Then Du Heng grinned and lay on the snow. To be honest, he didn't see clearly how Lao Dao and the others took action. He only knew that he fell down with a flash of light in front of him.

Lao Dao and the others dared not use force at all. When Du Heng fell down, they hurried to follow him. Otherwise, Du Heng would not be able to get up at all when he fell to the ground.

Du Heng picked up his bamboo shoots in shame: "I'd better go and cook..."

It was so damaging that even Xiaoxiao could dodge a cup of tea under Lao Dao and the others' fists. He actually lay on the ground and lost all his face when he said it.

Du Heng was depressedly cutting the pork liver, and the chopping board of the knife in his hand sounded. It was Xuan Yu who saw his depression. Xuan Yu comforted him: "When you practice next year, you will be even better than them."

Du Heng's eyes suddenly had a light: "Really?"

Xuan Yu nodded: "Really, so don't be upset. You are just not as experienced as they do. After you start practicing, I will help you find a good master. He will teach you how to use your body and magic to avoid and fight back. It won't take long to protect yourself."

Du Heng was so moved: "Xuan Yu, you are so good."

Feng Gui raised his voice in the corridor: "Yes, it will take a thousand and eight hundred years to protect himself. Come on Du Heng! Oh, by the way, make a spicy dish!!"

Du Heng's touch suddenly turned into resentment. He was about to make pig blood tofu into spicy food, and the spicy phoenix returns! Let his chrysanthemums be in linger!

The pig belly chicken soup on the stove turned milky white, and Du Heng added salt to it. He stirred the casserole, and the pieces of pork belly were mixed with large pieces of chicken, and it was decorated with white and tender bamboo shoots and chicken mushrooms.

Du Heng scooped a spoonful of soup and put it in a bowl. He skillfully began to summon Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao comes and taste the taste."

Xiaoxiao, who was watching Chonghua punching under the eaves, suddenly turned his head. He didn't care that Chonghua would dodge in the air and took it. He flapped his wings and ran towards Du Heng.

Xiaoxiao's wings are very flexible. Ordinary chicks can only extend their wings to the back and beside them, but Xiaoxiao can hold her chest with both wings. When he holds the bowl with flat feathers, Du Heng will always laugh out loud unconsciously.
