My village can't be like this

Chapter 300
A large bowl full of chili dipped in water was shared by everyone.

It turns out that although Chen Ze can eat spicy food, he can't eat much.

But in the past two years, he has often come to Zhang An's house, and he has been tempered instead.

Zhang An eats by himself, and every time he dips the leftover dipping water, he likes to pour it into a bowl and eat it with the rice.

Not to mention, bibimbap with dipping water is really good. It is delicious and appetizing, and it goes well with rice. Everyone who has eaten it says it is good.

Chen Ze came here more often, and he also fell into this habit.

So in Zhang An's house, every time Wang Fang makes dips, there will be no leftovers, and all CDs will be used.

Speaking of why Wang Fang's dipping water is so delicious, there is a secret recipe.

In addition to her own good combination of various condiments, it is also because Zhang An has a baby in her family.

That is a small round pestle less than one foot high.

Whether it's fresh chili peppers or dried chili peppers, Wang Fang makes her own dipping sauce.

They will use a round pestle, which is what everyone calls a bowl, to smash everything into pieces.

Especially ginger, garlic, chilies, mash them all together.

After the impact of the pestle, all the fragrance contained in their juice was washed out.

Then, with the rural old soy sauce, fish coriander, and shallots, the dipping water made is really fragrant.

When Zhang An eats it by himself, he also likes to cut Zheer root into foam and pour two drops of wood ginger oil, which is simply delicious.

Speaking of Yuandu, Wang Fang's little Yuandu can be said to be a family heirloom.

It is also a round pestle, and the ones from other people's homes do not have this smell.

As for Zhang An's family, everything is very fragrant.

Later, everyone knew that it might have something to do with the materials used for the round pestle and pestle.

Other people's round pestles become deeper and deeper as they are used, and the pestle sticks become thinner and thinner.

There are many stone circular pestles, the bottom of which will be smashed through at the end of use.

But although Zhang An's pair is also made of stone, it seems to have not changed much after decades of use.

Many people came to see it before and after, but they couldn't recognize what kind of stone was carved.

It is said that this round pestle was a dowry brought by Zhang An's great-grandmother, Zhang An's great-grandmother, and Wang Fang's grandmother from home at that time.

Later, when Wang Fang got married, Zhang An's grandfather didn't give her any dowry.

Zhang An's grandmother was stubborn and couldn't make the decision, so she asked Wang Fang to bring the Yuanzu over as a thought.

Anyway, since Zhang An was a child, he used it to pound everything in his house, such as chili, Chinese prickly ash, pepper, etc.

But decades later, it's still the same, nothing has changed.

Perhaps because it is the only thought of her natal family, Wang Fang loves it very much.

After each use, it must be cleaned, wiped dry and put away.

However, due to frequent use, the outside of the round pestle looks a little smooth and translucent.

"Hey, I feel bad when I think about going home during the Chinese New Year and not being able to eat the New Year's Eve dinner cooked by my aunt."

Chen Ze shook his head and sighed, then picked up another piece of meat, submerged it in the dipping water, dipped it full, and put it in his mouth.

Because the meat slices are so big, you can still see the bright red dipping sauce overflowing from your mouth.

"Then don't go back at all, it happens that we have one more person in our family for the New Year, so it's better to be more lively."

"That won't work. I'm not that bold. If I don't go back during the Chinese New Year, I won't be able to go back in the future."

For Chen Ze's family, wandering outside is fine.

If the New Year's Eve doesn't go back to participate in the ancestor worship, it will be a very serious problem.

"I'll go back this time and try to see if I can convince the old man to build a small courtyard in the village like Li Hongbin."

"Wouldn't it be great to take over the old man to take care of him at that time."

Chen Ze was very moved when he saw Li Hongbin built a small yard here.

He originally wanted to buy a piece of land here, and then build a country yard.

But their family did not agree, for fear that this person would not return after he went to the countryside.

"Okay, you just need to convince your family, and the village can handle it easily."

Although the development of Changqing is much better than before, the current environment is like this.

If you want to build a small yard in the countryside, as long as you have money, buy a piece of land and everything else is up to you.

"That's fine. I'll go back this year and give it a try. When it's all right, please tell the old village chief for me."

Chen Ze thought of the wild ginseng he took back a few days ago, thinking that this thing should be able to handle the old man.

When the old man agrees, what else can the rest of the family say.

Early the next morning, Zhang An still woke up early, and Chen Ze was equally active.

It's just that after two sets of punches, Zhang An stopped working and started looking for work.

He didn't practice acupuncture as usual today, and he will be busy with slaughtering pigs later, so he doesn't have so much free time in the morning.

And Chen Ze had nothing to do for him, even if he had something to do, he couldn't do it.

So just stand aside and play, so as not to affect other people.

"Hey, why did Lao Chen start to practice health exercises? Don't tell me, he really looks good."

At this time, Ding Yi came with Li Li, accompanied by Fatty Lu Jun.

"Haha, it's boring to be idle, practice and play, keep fit."

Seeing Ding Yi and the others coming, Chen Ze stopped.

Chen Ze didn't care about Ding Yi who made fun of him.

I thought silently in my heart, health exercises?When I practiced to the level of Zhang An.

Guaranteed to make your jaw drop, and see if you can still laugh when the time comes.

"Aunt and Uncle, we are here to disturb you again."

Li Li got out of the car and greeted Zhang An's parents first.

"What did you say, the child, you will be happy if you come to auntie more, walk to the house, it's cold outside."

Seeing Li Li with a big belly, Wang Fang's eyes were full of envy.

But envy is envy, now she dare not urge her son and daughter-in-law.

"Zhang An, Lao Chen, let's unload the things first, so we can drive out and put them away."

There are pigs to be killed in the yard today, and there are quite a few of them, which take up a lot of space.

Therefore, the cars they drove must have been parked in the yard, and even Zhang An's own car had already been driven out to dry in the yard.

"Come here, why do you bring so many things? I'm afraid that our family will have nothing to eat, and you will be starved, right? Is it okay to see outsiders?"

Ding Yi and Lu Jun opened the trunk, which was full of things.

"I didn't bring anything. We sold them ourselves. We got some for our uncles and aunts to try."

What the two of them brought was indeed New Year's goods, that's right, the ones in Ding's area were some fruits and some preserved goods, all of which were New Year's goods from his supermarket.

As for Lu Jun's side, they are all aquatic products operated by his company, but they are all seafood.

He didn't think about bringing some freshwater aquatic products, then he would really be suspected of cheating.

Both of their cars are not small, and the trunk space is quite large.

When the things inside are moved out, they have been placed in a small half of the room.

Lu Jun brought a lot of seafood, and most of them were still alive.

Only some fish, such as hairtail, which are not easy to survive out of sea water, are kept fresh with ice cubes.

The rest were crabs, prawns and sea fish. Needless to say, Zhang An really didn't eat much seafood.

In particular, there are two red eastern star spots inside, which are not small at all.

"Hey, this fish seems to have regained its spirit?"

When Ding Yi saw the two eastern star spots in the bucket, he seemed to be alive again.

He came here last night. At that time, the fish was limp, as if he was about to die.

Fortunately, they found a fish shop in the city to give them oxygen, otherwise they might not have survived Zhang An's house.

"Is it possible that they got car sick and stopped riding in the car now, so they have recovered their spirits."

Of course Zhang An knew what was going on, because the man had just added space spring water to the bucket.When he brought the two fish down just now, he saw that they were dying.

Zhang An suddenly thought that the spatial spring water is currently useful to all the animals he meets.

So will it also be useful for this sea fish?

So he quietly added a lot of space spring water into it.

It didn't take long for the two East Star Spots to come back to life and regain their spirits.

This also convinced Zhang An that the spring water in the space is also useful for deep-sea fish.

This is good, at least these sea fish can last until the New Year, and then they can be used to make a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.

If it is useless, they can only be slaughtered while they are still alive.

Otherwise, when they are all dead, they will not taste good when they are not killed alive.

He had this question before, entirely because he only had contact with freshwater fish.

On the other hand, Lu Jun, who was on the side, felt something was wrong after hearing this, and he had been engaged in aquatic products for a long time.

I have never noticed the problem of whether this fish will get motion sickness.

But to blame, he can't say any reason to refute, after all, the facts are right in front of him.

This thing was dying just now, but now it feels like it just came out of the water, so uncomfortable.

After everything was packed, Wang Fang yelled for breakfast.

Steamed buns this morning, and there are not a lot of them.

In addition to eating at home, it is also convenient for everyone to eat when someone comes later, without trouble at all.

Lu Jun and Li Li hadn't eaten yet, so they were full of praise when they just ate, and made Wang Fang very happy.

"Sister-in-law, I'm here to get your report card for you."

While Su Ying was having breakfast, Zhang Tie came over.

"Tie Wa, come over and have a steamed bun."

Seeing his eldest nephew coming, Zhang Jianguo took two buns and handed them to him.

"Uncle, I can just eat one. My mother cooked rice noodles for me."

Zhang Tie was not too polite, he took it and ate it, he knew that the steamed buns made by his auntie were better than those bought in the town, and they didn't cost any money.

Today, Su Ying was going to school to distribute report cards. There were nearly a hundred report books for the two classes, and it was not easy for Su Ying to carry them.

So Zhang Tie took the initiative to help his sister-in-law take it to school.

This guy, when Su Ying was separated last night, he came over and hung out for a long time.

In the end, he secretly looked at his report card and knew his score.

So from yesterday to today, the smile on this guy's face has never stopped.

Zhang An also looked through it, and his test scores today were not bad.

Although I didn't look at everyone's scores, Zhang Tie's grades probably won't make it past the top of his grade.

"Sister-in-law, you are playing at home, I'm going to school first."

"Don't worry about us, we come here often anyway, so go and do your work."

After checking the time, Su Ying got up, and Zhang Tie went out together carrying a sack of reports.

After Huang Erye and his elders came, they brought a few sacks of corn cobs to start the big fire outside.

Then put coals in, and after igniting, Zhang An set up a big iron pot and started to boil water.

Because there are three pigs to be killed, the time is tight, so everyone came earlier.

Wang Fang brought out the freshly steamed steamed stuffed buns and washed Bodhisattvas, and asked everyone to mess around while boiling the water.

Although there were many people, it was already noon after the three pigs were slaughtered.

The people who came to help were not too tired, but Lin Youde, who was in charge of butchering the pigs, was exhausted.

Every pig in Zhang An's family is so big, the process of slaughtering is not easy.

Especially when blowing pigs, every time is very tiring.

But Lin Youde was not afraid of being tired at all, on the contrary he was very happy.

His butchering skills are very skilled, that's because he often helped everyone slaughter pigs and practiced the skills.

But in the past, all the pigs he killed were over two hundred catties, and the slaughter of bigger pigs was not so smooth.

So when Zhang An's family was killing the New Year pig, he came uninvited.

He just wanted to use some big fat pigs from Zhang An's family to practice, so that if someone asked him in the future.

Even if he encounters a big fat pig, he can easily catch it.

Therefore, when Zhang An gave him hard work, because he felt it was not easy, the three pigs gave him one hundred and fifty.

But Lin Youde didn't ask for that much, and only accepted 100 yuan.

He is not stupid, he can not only practice his own skills, but also make friends with Zhang An, so why not do it.

"Uncle and aunt, let's go back and come back in a few days."

After dinner in the afternoon, Ding Yi and his group brought fresh pork that had just been slaughtered and freshly baked.

There are still a lot of game, nuts, etc. prepared by Zhang An, and he is ready to go back.

Even Chen Ze is the same. He has been out for several days.

Last night, Chen Ning called and said angrily that she would not take her with her when she came out to play.

And he also warned Chen Ze that if he didn't go back, he would wait for the old matriarch's anger.

So if the pig was killed today, Chen Ze would pack it for the trip back immediately, otherwise the good fruit at home would not taste good.

After they left, Zhang An didn't do anything, but kept preparing cured meat with spices.

There are a lot of bacon to be smoked this year, their own, and Ding, Chen Ze and Lu Jun.

There is also some fumigation for the mother-in-law's family, which adds up to several hundred catties.

Fortunately, Chen Ze and the others took back half of their portion of the meat, or else there would have been more.

This year's pork, Zhang An marinated with the method Huang Erye taught him.

In the past, when he saw the golden-yellow bacon in Huang Erye's house, he was already greedy.

So before killing the pigs this year, he bought all the materials early.

Zhang An marinated all the pork used for smoking bacon.

A few hundred catties of pork is not a lot at all, and it has to be marinated in place.

Zhang An spent most of the day, and continued to marinate after dinner, and finally marinated all the meat.

Then just put it on for a day or two, then it can be put on the shelf and start smoking.

There is a lot of meat this year, so no matter what, you have to take someone to watch over the fire.

But Zhang An felt that this was good, so as not to save his father from driving the sheep out in the cold.

He himself does not feel guilty, but all the sheep suffer.

Let him stay dedicated to smoking meat and find something to do for him so that he doesn't have to go out to get some air.

And Zhang An was sure that his father would take good care of the meat.

Because of his temperament of breaking a penny into two parts, the meat is worth thousands of dollars, and he will definitely take good care of it.

"Husband, I called my parents just now. They won't be off work until the 29th this year. Let's pick them up on the [-]th."

When sleeping at night, Su Ying leaned on her man and said.

"Little fool, there is no New Year's Eve this year. New Year's Eve falls on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month."

Zhang An was happy, and couldn't help scratching the tip of his wife's nose, teasing her.

The twelfth lunar month is a small month this year, so there are only 29 days. Zhang An only saw it when he changed the calendar a few days ago.

"Then when I'm 29, I'll pick them up."

"Don't scratch my nose, it's all collapsed by you."

Su Ying was a little dissatisfied with her man's frequent scratching of her nose, and said with two small eyes.

"Okay, okay, go to sleep, tomorrow I have to go to Zhou Yang's house to help."
