Chapter 54(1/2)
Having trouble sleeping and eating
At night, the entire courtyard was enveloped by the aroma of fish meat from the central courtyard.
Those who had eaten were fine and felt their stomachs and went to sleep.
I just didn't have anything to eat. I couldn't eat the steamed buns and pickles on my hands when I smelled the aroma.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
Si Zhu's family, a man and a mother, the three members of the Jia family and the deaf old lady gathered around the table, and plates of hot dishes were placed on the table. In fact, everyone ate the same dishes, the only difference was the seasonings used.
.
Most people have to save oil when cooking, and the only seasoning is salt.
Silly Zhu is different. As a cook, there will naturally be no shortage of seasonings. He usually brings some from the kitchen and it is enough for home use.
This is also a characteristic of the times. In times of famine, a cook cannot starve to death.
For this meal, Shazhu worked hard and used all his strength to make the aroma in the room more attractive.
"Master, please try this braised pork."
Silly Zhu placed the red and oily braised pork in front of Yi Zhonghai and sat down.
Yi Zhonghai, who was on the side, enjoyed listening very much. With a paternalistic tenderness on his face, he nodded in agreement.
But he did not move his chopsticks, but said to the deaf old lady beside him, "Zhuzi, our old lady is older and respects the old and loves the young. We should let the old lady eat first."
Silly Zhu reacted and patted his cheek gently, "Ouch, I deserve a beating."
"Old lady, please try it first."
The deaf old lady is no longer deaf, and her face smiles like a chrysanthemum.
"Okay, okay!"
"Zhuzi just has a good heart. He still remembers me as an old and immortal child. I am really a filial child."
Silly Zhu was praised all the time, and his face was filled with joy.
The old lady picked up a piece of fat meat with chopsticks and put it in her mouth with a satisfied smile.
Seeing this, the old man couldn't stand the aroma of braised pork and quickly said to the people around him, "Everyone, whatever you want, whatever you want! Ah."
Before she finished speaking, Jia Zhang, who couldn't wait for a long time, had already stretched out her chopsticks, inserted two big pieces of fat meat accurately, and stuffed them into her mouth in an instant.
The arms don't stop and they continue to penetrate the flesh.
Jia Dongxu on the side was not slow, and his mouth was also filled with meat. Qin Huairu was still a little concerned about her face, but seeing this situation, if she didn't take action, not even a piece of meat would be left.
swipe
Soon the bottom of the small plate of braised pork was almost gone. Jia Zhang opened her big mouth and chewed hard, fearing that a little oil and water would come out of her mouth.
Qin Huairu bit into the meat bit by bit, stuffing it into her stomach.
He Yuyu only ate one piece of meat and saw that there was only one piece left on the plate, but the first man and Silly Zhu hadn't eaten yet.
Everyone at the scene looked at the Jia family and felt uncomfortable.
Jia Zhang finally swallowed the meat, and when she saw there was another piece on the plate, she stretched out her chopsticks.
uh-huh
A sudden sound interrupted her. Looking at the angry looks of several people around her, she took back her chopsticks in embarrassment and said shamelessly.
"Our family is in great difficulty. We haven't had any food or water for more than half a year."
"It's all because Silhu made it so delicious that I couldn't resist it."
Mrs. Jia Zhang showed a self-righteous smile, while Jia Dongxu on the side said nothing, still savoring the taste of the braised pork.
Qin Huairu held her belly.
"Silly Zhu, your braised pork is so delicious. Our family is short of oil and water, and the children in our stomachs were so noisy just now. After eating your meat, they will be quiet now."
When Shazhu heard this, he burst into laughter.
"As long as my eldest nephew likes it, it's just a piece of meat. I'll eat it later if I have more."
Silly Zhu said, looking at Qin Huairu with an inexplicable heartbeat.
If Yang Xiaotao hears Qin Huairu's words here, he will definitely tell her that it is your glutton that is causing trouble, not the embryonic child.
"Master, you are the elder, you should eat this piece of meat."
Silly Zhu placed the meat in front of the uncle.
Jia Dongxu, who was on the side, also took the opportunity to speak, "Yes, Master. You are the most respected and respected person in the courtyard. You deserve to eat this meat."
Jia Dongxu didn't care at all about the generosity of others. He ate several pieces anyway.
Yi Zhonghai was filled with joy, "Okay, okay."
"There are still many sensible people in our yard."
"Everyone helps each other and life will become better and better in the future."
bang bang bang
He Yuyu and Qin Huairu couldn't help but applaud. Auntie also looked at Jia Dongxu and Shazhu with joy, thinking about how to enhance their relationship in the future.
suck
At this moment, Mrs. Jia Zhang suddenly pushed her nose and tried to inhale.
The deaf old lady frowned and was about to teach the ungrateful Zhang Erniu a lesson, when suddenly an alluring fish scent came into her nose.
"This damn heartless little beast has no respect for the old and cares for the young. He eats fish at home and doesn't take care of everyone. It's really bad."
"My father drank alcohol and ate meat right after his death. You have to take care of this style problem."
Mrs. Jia Zhang looked at the ear room of the middle courtyard and knew that it was Yang Xiaotao who had caught the fish.
The aroma and the portion are definitely better and more delicious than the braised pork.
"Yes, Master. This Yang Xiaotao is too selfish and inhumane at all. If you ask me, I'd better kick him out in a general meeting."
Jia Dongxu's eyes flashed with vicious light.
Yi Zhonghai lowered his head and drank the wine. He also knew Yang Xiaotao's situation, but now he didn't want to provoke him again.
It's fine for both parties to live their own lives without interfering with each other.
Everyone in the room was attracted by the smell of fish. Silly Zhu closed his eyes and smelled the aroma.
"Star anise, cinnamon, and white wine!"
"Tsk, it would be better if there was a little more pepper."
In the backyard, Xu Damao threw a duck leg bone onto the plate, "Humph, isn't it just a fish? Is Quanjude's roast duck delicious?"
"You'll just show off and make people hate you."
Xu Damao said angrily. Xu's father and mother beside him were expressionless, but they were all confused by Yang Xiaotao's recent changes.
"This kid has become more mature after his father died."
Xu's father sighed, looked at Xu Damao again, and shook his head helplessly.
At Liu Haizhong's house next door, the two brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu swallowed so hard that their eyes nearly popped out.
Liu Guangqi sat on the stool, a little lost in thought, but the surging Adam's apple also showed his desire for delicious food.
Liu Haizhong suddenly felt that the eggs on his hands no longer smelled good.
Originally, Silhu was suffocating without calling him for the treat, but now that Yang Xiaotao was eating fish again, and I heard it was a big fish weighing more than ten kilograms, he was not called, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Liu Haizhong just felt that the people in this compound respected him less and less.
"Little bastard, if you don't want to eat, get out of here."
Seeing the appearance of the three brothers, Liu Hai was so angry that he took out a feather duster with bald hair on one side and pointed it at the three sons.
This time, Liu Guangqi was not spared.
The second aunt looked on, indifferent.
The shouts of Liu Guangqi's three brothers rang out in the backyard, making the whole compound more lively.
In the front yard, Yan Fugui came back empty-handed and sat in front of the table with a sad face. The whole family was waiting for him to serve dinner.
"Hey, put these peanuts away and eat them tomorrow."
Looking at the peanuts on the table, Yan Fugui counted them and finally selected three for each person, keeping the rest.
In this regard, Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang had no objection at all, and they did not dare to have any objection. As for the young Yan Jiekang, he stared at the peanuts with wide eyes, fearing that he would run out of them.
At Uncle Chen's house, as the silver carp comes out of the pot, the people at the table are also conquered by the smell.
At this time, there was Wang Dashan called by Yang Xiaotao on the table.
As the saying goes, there are three gangs of heroes. As a latecomer, Yang Xiaotao naturally understands the key to defeating the enemy.
