After returning to the countryside to farm, I brought the whole village to become rich

Chapter 28 Mid-Autumn Festival Reunion
After finishing the market and selling the vegetables, it was already afternoon when the family returned to Qinghe Village.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional festival, which symbolizes reunion; because before and after the autumn harvest, it also means a good harvest.

It is a very grand festival in the countryside, and the older generation attaches great importance to it. The festival atmosphere is much stronger than that in big cities.

But at three o'clock in the afternoon, wisps of cooking smoke rose from the chimneys of every household, and the whole village was filled with the smell of food.

In the small courtyard of Shen's family, the whole family was also bustling away.

Shen Jiashu and Grandpa Shen boiled water to kill chickens, Shen Qiuqiu was in charge of washing and cutting vegetables, and Grandma Shen was in charge of the cooking.

The kitchen was filled with a strong smell of meat, and all the large pots, small stoves and small stoves were used.

Pork belly is best eaten as braised pork, sweet and soft, fat but not greasy.

Cut fresh pork belly into mahjong pieces, blanch in water, stir fry with rock sugar and a little water until thick, pour in pork belly and stir fry until golden, add water, thirteen spices, and aniseed ingredients, pour them into a casserole, put them on a small stove Bring to a boil, and add salt to taste when cooking.

Pork belly and chicken make a pork belly and chicken soup. The soup has the sweetness of pork belly and the deliciousness of chicken. It has a rich taste and is very delicious.

Clean the pork belly, stuff the processed chicken into the pork belly, tie up the opening of the pork belly with a thread, then put it into a casserole, add water and sliced ​​ginger, bring to a boil on high heat, then turn to low heat and simmer for two hours.

Cut the cooked pork belly and chicken into small pieces, put them back into the pot and continue to cook. The soup is thick and milky white, seasoned with salt and pepper is very delicious.

The fat sausage is made into a heavy-boiled braised fat sausage, which is spicy and delicious, bright red in color, soft and glutinous.

The black fish is made into sauerkraut fish, using homemade sauerkraut, the fish is tender, sour and appetizing.

The hairy crabs that Shen Qiuqiu bought from Yunchuan yesterday were still very fresh.

The crabs in this season are the most plump, steamed is the best, and the taste is delicious and authentic.

But the crab is delicious, but it is troublesome to eat.

Worried that grandpa and grandma would not open the crabs, Shen Qiuqiu carefully opened half of the steamed hairy crabs, fried them with lard to make crab paste, and used them for bibimbap later.

There are meat dishes, and there are naturally no less vegetarian dishes.

Stir-fried beans, stir-fried zucchini, vinegared cabbage, and green peppers with tiger skin.

They are all vegetables grown in their own fields. The method is simple, but they are also very delicious.

Including the roast duck bought from the market, there are a total of ten dishes, implying perfection.

Under the grape arbor in the yard, the whole family sits on one side, enjoying a happy reunion dinner.

The big yellow dog and the little orange cat squatted aside, looking up at the owners who were eating deliciously, drooling with greed.

The movements and expressions of the two little ones are exactly the same, and they are almost in sync.

Shen Qiuqiu looked at the big ones and then at the small ones, and couldn't help being amused.

"I'm sorry, I forgot to help you two during the holidays. Next time, I'll buy you delicious canned meat to make up for it."

The little orange cat walked up to Shen Qiuqiu's feet, raised its paws and scratched her calf a few times, and kept meowing, as if expressing its dissatisfaction.

Grandma Shen scooped a large spoonful of braised pork into Shen Qiuqiu's bowl, "They have already been fed, you should also eat well."

The braised pork was so fragrant, Shen Qiuqiu buried his head in two mouthfuls of rice, and cruelly ignored the cute little orange.

The crab paste made from six crabs was only fried in a small bowl, and Shen Qiuqiu shared half of it with grandpa and grandma.

"Grandpa, grandma, this bibimbap is very delicious, try it."

More than half of the fried golden and fragrant crab roe paste was picked up into her own bowl. Grandma Shen couldn't help feeling a little anxious, and she was about to pick up the bowl back.

"Don't give it all to us. You and Xiaoshu should try it too. Good things taste delicious when eaten together."

Shen Qiuqiu pointed to the steamed hairy crabs on the table, "There are still some on the table, we'll eat them ourselves, the taste is the same."

Grandma Shen just gave up, and looked down at the golden yellow crab sauce in the bowl. It smelled quite delicious, but I don't know what it is.

This is the first time for the old couple to eat crabs at such an old age.

I tasted it with the attitude of giving it a try, and was instantly conquered by this delicacy.

"good to eat!"

"fragrant!"

With just this bit of crab paste, Grandpa Shen ate half a bowl of rice.

Seeing that he likes to eat it, Shen Qiuqiu unpacked half a crab and handed it to him, "I'll eat half of it at the end. Crabs are cold in nature, so it's not good to eat too much. If you like it, I'll buy it next time."

Grandpa Shen pouted, "At this time, if you can drink some wine, that would be beautiful."

Shen Jiashu stood up very discerningly, "The wine made by grandma should be drinkable, I'll go make a pot."

Homemade wine belongs to fruit wine, and the degree is not high.

For Grandpa Shen, an old alcoholic who is used to drinking spirits, it must not be enough taste, but it is better than nothing.

After a while, Shen Jiashu came out with a jug and four wine glasses.

The wine made from Sunshine Rose grapes is different from ordinary wines. The color is beautiful turquoise, crystal clear and pleasing to the eye.

Picking up the wine glass, you can smell a thick rose fragrance before you drink it, and it permeates your lungs with a light sniff.

Shen Qiuqiu took a sip, and the wine was mellow and mellow, with a bit of sourness in the sweetness, and the mellow wine aroma mixed with the strong aroma of roses swept across the entire mouth in an instant.

After taking a sip of wine, there is a bit of sweet aftertaste in the mouth.

Very special taste, very delicious.

Even Grandma Shen, who doesn't like drinking, couldn't help but praise, "It's delicious."

Shen Qiuqiu and Shen Jiashu also liked the taste very much, and the wine didn't have any alcohol content, so they drank it as a drink.

Four people drank a jug of wine, and it was gone in a while.

Grandpa Shen wanted to pour another drink, but found that the flagon was empty, he raised his eyes to look at Shen Jiashu.

The latter was very clever, and immediately picked up the flagon to drink.

Grandma Shen glanced at the old man and snorted softly, "The last pot."

Grandpa Shen muttered softly, "I'm not the only one drinking..."

After eating a reunion dinner for more than two hours, all the vegetarian dishes were eaten, and most of the meat dishes were left.

I have a refrigerator at home, so I can eat it again when it’s hot tomorrow at noon, so it’s not a waste.

Shen Qiuqiu and Grandma Shen cleaned up the table and put out moon cakes, candies, fruits, melon seeds, boiled peanuts...

A table of dishes was removed, and a table full of food came again.

Shen Jiashu touched his chubby belly, and couldn't help hiccupping.

"I really can't eat it."

Grandma Shen took apart a big moon cake, cut it into small pieces with a knife, and shared a piece for everyone.

"Mid-Autumn Festival, how can you not eat moon cakes, you must eat them."

In fact, Shen Qiuqiu couldn't eat any more, so he took the smallest piece of mooncake and ate it in small bites to suit the occasion.

Grandma Shen cut this mooncake with five kernels. The crust is crispy and the nuts are crispy. It tastes rich, and every bite is a different surprise.

Unexpectedly, it was delicious.
