Half and half of money and food, Xu Hengzhou paid a small amount of remuneration, and moved back three jars. At the same time, he agreed with Master Shan that he would provide a batch of wine, and asked him to help brew another batch of snake wine, and the reward would be the same.
Master Shan agreed immediately, and then cleaned up the newly caught snakes at home, and waited for Xu Hengzhou to send wine to him, and gave him a batch of the best snake wine.
In the blink of an eye, it was Xiang Chen's birthday. When he got up in the morning, Xu Hengzhou specially cooked a bowl of noodles for him. The noodles were long and made of bone broth. The noodles were fried with meat sauce, and two refreshing green vegetables were added. A bowl of sumptuous noodles kicked off Xiang Chen's birthday.
? Before inviting the guests, Xu Hengzhou had discussed with Xiang Chen what dishes to serve. At this time, everyone had a lot of appetite, even for a boy as old as Xiang Chen, it would not be a problem to eat two bowls. There is no shortage of ingredients in their house, but if you want the guests to eat well, the noodles must not be bad. So many meat dishes are served all at once, which is too eye-catching.
Xiang Chen suggested: "Why don't you eat hot pot? There are too many people here to eat, and it's also warm in winter. Serve side dishes slowly, and it doesn't look so much."
Xu Hengzhou thinks this method is good, because he doesn't know if the guests can eat spicy food, he plans to make two kinds of pot bottoms, they don't have mandarin duck pot, and it's not easy to take out the ones in the space, so Xu Hengzhou simply borrowed a stove and a small dish I borrowed my son's pot and borrowed the dishes.
The stove was borrowed from Chen Youshan's house, and the pot was an aluminum pot, borrowed from my aunt's neighbor's house. At this time, it's normal to treat guests to dinner, borrow tables and chairs, borrow bowls and chopsticks, and they have no embarrassment.
After eating the noodles in the morning, Xu Hengzhou began to prepare. The big bone soup was boiled early in the morning. This was used as the base, and the red soup had to be re-fried. Xiang Chen was packing up the ingredients. The green vegetables were washed and sliced, the radish and mushrooms were processed, and the dried vegetables sent by the villagers had to be soaked in water before they could be boiled to taste.
In the middle of the morning, all the people they invited came, and they said that it would be fine if they came, but no one was free. The siblings of the Jiang family had a relationship with them, and they were the first to come. Jiang Lei grabbed a pheasant from his back basket. He secretly beat it on the mountain. He didn't dare to take it back, so he hid it and sent it to Xiang Chen.
Lin Jiayan came with Gao Yang, and he brought special products sent by his family. His hometown is near the sea, so he even brought a bundle of dried seaweed. Gao Yang was very honest, he just picked up a few catties of grain and put them in the kitchen, those who didn't know thought he was paying for food.
After a while, Xiang Chen's little friends arrived one after another. Hei Wa and Hua Ni'er brought some eggs, Mei Zi brought a piece of konjac, saying that her mother made it herself, and Shan Zi directly brought a snake over, blushing. Face explained to Xiang Chen that the snake's meat is the most tender
Xiang Chen never refuses anyone who comes, no matter what it is, it is his heart. Seeing him accepting it with a smile, the children were relieved, with smiles on their faces.
Because of the large number of people, Xu Hengzhou simply put the stove in the yard, and the one who came first helped to burn the stove. After the fire started, Xu Hengzhou poured the two prepared soup bases into the pots separately, and put them on the stove first.
The soup base alone smells very fragrant, and the children swallowed while thinking wildly. They don't know why they boiled such a big two pots of soup, and one pot smelled very choking. Could it be that they are only invited to drink the soup?
Lin Jiayan knew what was going on, he glanced at it in surprise, and asked Xu Hengzhou: "Are you going to cook it?"
Xu Hengzhou was rinsing and slicing the konjac sent by Meizi. This thing can also be eaten in hot pot, and many people like it.
Hearing Lin Jiayan's question, he squinted at the bottom of the two pots: "Yes, which one do you like to eat?"
Lin Jiayan grinned happily: "Red soup, I like spicy food the most."
Xiang Chen looked at him in surprise, Lin Jiayan is from the south, the taste there is sweeter, and the food is also light, I didn't expect Lin Jiayan to be so heavy.
It was almost time to eat, and everyone worked together to move the packed ingredients to the table in the yard, and soon the table was full, dried vegetables, vegetables, tofu, pork blood, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, dried seaweed, sliced ??meat, etc. , just looking at these is rich enough.
As today's little birthday star, Xiang Chen greeted the guests to sit down around the two stoves, and introduced how to eat hot pot with a few friends. The faces of the children were full of excitement, and this new way of eating was enough for them Go back and show off.
?After eating, the atmosphere became even more enthusiastic. Everyone tried two kinds of pot bottoms first. The red soup was spicy and the white soup was delicious, both of which were rare and delicious. Those who hadn't eaten it at first were not used to the red soup. After eating a few more mouthfuls, the children all ate the dishes in the red soup while inhaling spicy.
Lin Jiayan sat on the side of the red soup from the beginning, and Jiang Miao and his brother both liked spicy food until the end. There were only three people on the side of the white soup pot, Xiang Chen, Xu Hengzhou and Gao Yang. Xiang Chen? Plates.
When the Sophora japonica blossoms are in bloom, you can pull the Sophora japonica flowers. The Sophora japonica buns are especially delicious. The stuffing made with minced meat tastes several times better than pure meat buns.
Xiang Chen also learned to climb trees, not as fast as other friends, but when he was lying on the branch to talk to his brother for the first time, Xu Hengzhou was startled, and he opened his arms subconsciously, for fear that he would fall.
Later, Xu Hengzhou didn't forbid him to climb trees. It's true that the boy is a bit wild. He felt sorry for Xiang Chen, but even if there were some things that were dangerous, he shouldn't stop him if he wanted to do them.
After the spring plowing, the weather is getting hotter day by day. Many children in the village like to go down to the river to play in the water. Every day, you can hear the voice of adults beating and scolding children.
Xiang Chen also wanted to go, he couldn't swim, but he couldn't help being envious when he saw other children playing in the water. And when it gets hot in summer, going swimming is a good way to escape the heat.
When he first came to the village, Chen Youshan told them that many children drowned in the river, except for those who did not fall into the water in winter, most of them sneaked away to play in the water in summer and drowned. Children who grow up by the river are not weak in water, but those who are good swimmers drown, and most of them are able to swim.
Xiang Chen originally thought that his brother would not allow him to play in the river, but Xu Hengzhou took the initiative to mention this matter. He is very good at swimming, so he took time out to take Xiang Chen to learn swimming, and taught him by hand, watching him from following A little frog can only flop, so that a person can come and go freely.
Afterwards, Xu Hengzhou brought Xiang Chen back home with a face full of excitement. On the way, he said to him earnestly: "We will stay here for several years. It is impossible to keep you from entering the water. I will teach you how to swim, but you have to promise me .First, you must tell me in advance when you go to the river; second, you can¡¯t go alone, there must be someone beside you; third, move your body before entering the water to avoid cramps; fourth, you are not allowed to go to dangerous deep water areas, and don¡¯t Comparing breath diving with other kids. Can it be done?"
Xiang Chen nodded solemnly: "Yes."
He knows that his brother is doing it for his own good, so he must do what his brother asks, so as not to worry him.
After Chun Geng finished his work, Xu Hengzhou took the time to meet with Chen Youshan, told him about taking a long vacation, and asked him to write a letter of introduction so that he could go to the northwest to see Song Wenbin.
