My village can't be like this

Chapter 69 Meals in the Mountains (Please collect and recommend)
Not long after, I heard Wang Fang calling for dinner.

In rural areas, especially at this time, it is not so easy to prepare meals when there are too many people.

Because I cook on the stove at home, there are no gas stoves or induction cookers at home.

Fortunately, it was Wang Fang who lit up the stove in the kitchen after getting up today, and the speed of the two fires accelerated a bit.

While stewing soup, stir-fry vegetables.

There were a lot of people eating today, so Zhang An put the big Eight Immortals table at home in the yard.

Zhang An’s family’s Big Eight Immortals table is very big, which was passed down by Zhang An’s grandparents. During the Chinese New Year, in order to allow the whole family to sit at one table, the table was opened very wide. At that time, Zhang An’s parents had not yet divided At home, there are more than a dozen adults and children.

Normally Zhang An's family would not easily use this table, but today a dozen or so people are having dinner together, and two small tables are enough, so we might as well just set up one table.

Today, Wang Fang has been busy since she got up in the morning. The dishes on the table are half-opened with meat and vegetables, and the table is full.

Braised fine scale fish in brown sauce, fish with pickled cabbage, braised yellow spicy diced rice, stir-fried eel section, spicy rabbit meat, spicy grouse, local chicken fried with green onion, steamed pork blood balls with bacon, and stewed chicken with mushrooms.

Of course, there is also the spicy crayfish made by Zhang An himself.

These alone have already filled the table, and there are several seasonal vegetables and cold dishes that are finally served.

Zhang An asked if anyone wanted to drink. The family made Tianma wine, and everyone didn't go back until evening, so they didn't worry about drinking and driving. The last person made a small glass.

This meal should be regarded as the most sumptuous table that Zhang An's family has cooked for a long time.

I have never seen such a rich banquet in the countryside.

Although Wang Fang felt a little distressed while cooking, who in the countryside cooks such a rich meal.

But in order to entertain guests, and to be a friend of his son, so in order not to embarrass Zhang An, Wang Fang resorted to her [-] points of craftsmanship to cook this table dish.

A sumptuous meal shows the hospitality of the host.

In particular, most of these ingredients come from Zhang An's space. Even the seasonal vegetables in his own vegetable garden have been watered by the spring water in the space.

Moreover, in this era, the concept of wild being king has not yet been hyped up, and the distinction between wild and farmed is not so clear.

As long as it tastes good, tastes good, and tastes delicious, it is a good thing. There is not so much technology and hard work.

When all the women on the table were eating, they carefully maintained their image.

On the other hand, a few men were devouring and feasting on the dishes on the table one by one.

As for Li Hongbin and Chen Ze, it wasn't the first time before, but they lightly put on a trick for everyone.

"Hey, let me tell you, everyone. As for it, it's the same as if you haven't eaten at home. You should pay attention to your image and don't let your uncles and aunts laugh at you."

As soon as he said this, Ding Yi next to him gave him a hard look.

"I said, Old Chen, what you said is nice, not only that you come to Zhang An's house every time to enjoy the autumn breeze, but when you leave, you even eat and take food and think I don't know, right? If you can put down your chopsticks, look, you still have a big piece of fish in your hands."

"That's right. I haven't eaten such a delicious meal before Chinese New Year. Auntie is too late to see us eating so deliciously. Why would she laugh at us? You should pay attention to your image and save more for us."

"That's right, this old Chen, he has eaten good food himself, and now he is educating us."

Although everyone was talking, the chopsticks in their hands never stopped.

Even Su Ying and Chen Ning, who were still paying attention to their image just now, saw how fast everyone was picking up food.

I am no longer reserved, because if I continue to be reserved, there will be no food on the table.

The two of them sat next to Wang Fang, but made Wang Fang happy.

"Auntie, how did you practice this skill? This dish is so delicious that I don't even want to go home."

"That's right, it's so delicious. I'm a little envious of Zhang An now. He grew up with the food cooked by his auntie. He's so happy."

Wang Fang had already fallen in love with these two girls. Chen Ning was about the same age as Zhang An, young and cute, with a good face.

Although Su Ying was older than Zhang An, this child was polite and sincere to others, and spoke in a low voice. She could talk with an old woman like herself, and she was also a standard beauty.

So Wang Fang is really happy today. It would be even better if one of them can make friends with Zhang An.

"Haha, why is it so exaggerated? It's not that I'm good at craftsmanship. It's that these things are good, so they are delicious. After I like them, I will come here often. I will make them for you every day."

On the other side, Chen Ze was having a good time, and poured the fried rabbit meat with chili peppers into the bowl.

I am anxious to see this little guy, Li Yao.

"Uncle Chen, pour less and save me some Tutu, Tutu is delicious."

It made everyone laugh.

Then Chen Ze separated the chili peppers and picked some rabbit meat for the little guy.

"Thank you Uncle Chen, godfather's rabbit is so cute."

Hearing this, Chen Ning looked at the little guy.

"Yaoyao, rabbits are so cute, why do you eat them?"

"Auntie Xiaoning, the bunny is cute because it's delicious."

puff! ~
This answer made everyone laugh, and it turns out that the children nowadays are still too real.

Li Hongbin picked up a lobster and said while peeling the shell:
"Don't tell me Zhang An, the pot of shrimp you made tastes really good. I used to have a lot of them in my hometown, but it tastes like mud, not that taste."

That's for sure, people in the past ate lobster, and they didn't want to remove the shrimp line and the oil, so it was naturally not delicious.

"The stomach of this thing is in the head, and there are shrimp threads. If you don't remove it, it smells like mud. In addition, everyone was not in good condition in the past, so they must be reluctant to put oil. Such a pot needs more than a catty of oil, which is enough for the whole family. It's been over a week."

"That's the truth, but I didn't expect that the shrimp would taste so delicious in this way. It tastes so good."

Li Hongbin had been watching Zhang An from the beginning to the end just now, from cleaning the crayfish to taking it out of the pot, without letting it go.

He felt that he had already learned [-]% to [-]% of Zhang An's craft, and he would make it for his son when he returned home.

Seeing that Li Yao was eating the prawns peeled by Zhou Lan, Li Hongbin thought about it.

The spicy crayfish quickly conquered everyone's stomach.

"When we left, Zhang An helped us get some and we took them home to try at home."

Everyone knows how Zhang An handled the crayfish just now, and everyone helped wash them.

This is not a very cumbersome thing, just remove the shrimp line. If it is impossible, the whole shrimp head will be removed, and only the shrimp tail will be left.

After a full meal, everyone enjoyed the cool in the yard while digesting food.

And Zhang An took out the space tea he picked and made a pot of herbal tea for everyone.

Not surprisingly, it was well received by everyone.

Even the two girls who don't drink tea often find it delicious.

And Wang Fang prepared food for her three big dogs, and put it under the tree after it was prepared, and the little tigers came out of her room.

"Wow, Zhang An, is this your big dog? Why does it look fierce?"

The little tigers are already big dogs, not as cute as they were when they were young, not as good as the Dahua family, and they haven't won the hearts of a few ladies.

They are tall, mighty and majestic, but they make a few men very happy.

Li Yao, who was going to play with Dahu, was dragged aside by Zhou Lan to teach him a lesson.

"The dog is eating. You are going to disturb him. Does anyone disturb you while you are eating? No one will play with you after you look like this."

He sat on the chair dejectedly as he told the little guy, but his eyes were still fixed on the big tiger, as if he was playing with a dog.

Not long after, when Zhang Tie and the others came to feed Dahua after eating, they took the little guy away, and Dahu escaped unharmed.

"Zhang An, did the cherries you sold before come from the forest next to you?"

Zhong Chengyuan got acquainted with Zhang An because of buying cherries, but he didn't expect Zhang An to know Chen Ze, these two people don't seem to be from the same world.

"Yes, it's that forest. I tried the water this year and it's okay. I'll wait until next year to grow more."

Hearing Zhong Chengyuan talk about cherries with Zhang An, the people next to him also started talking.

"By the way, Old Dong, the cherries in Zhang An's house are the ones I brought to you before, the ones the size of pigeon eggs."

Chen Ze told Dong Jingzhi and Ding Yi that Zhang An had brought him a big basket, several tens of catties, and he definitely couldn't finish it, so he shared some with several people.

After lunch, everyone sat in the yard to digest.

Today is still a long day, Zhang An worries that everyone will be bored.

"Sister Lan, I remember that you have a big tent at home?"

Zhang An remembered that the last time he went to Li Hongbin's house to lift the stove, he saw a big tent.

"Yeah, there's a big one. I bought it when I was running errands at home, and it's been left behind. What's wrong?"

Hearing that Zhang An was looking for a tent, Zhou Lan was a little confused about what Zhang An wanted to do.

"Because it's still early, it's too boring for everyone to sit in the yard. I thought about taking everyone to the river for a picnic and barbecue."

Zhang An said to everyone.

"Barbecue? Isn't the barbecue on the street? There are also people grilling by the river."

Chen Ning didn't realize it, and so did the others, because in their impression, barbecues are all on the side of the street, and other people set up stalls to sell them, so they can buy them if they want to eat.

"Yes, I have a grill at home. Let's prepare the ingredients and bake by ourselves."

There is a grill in Zhang An's house. When Zhang An was at school, a group of friends went to a spring outing and pooled their money to buy it. Because there were a lot of people at that time, they bought a big one.

At the end of the spring outing, everyone thought the grill was troublesome, so Zhang An brought it back.

"Sounds good, I think I can try it."

A group of people probably haven't had such an experience yet, so they really want to try it.

"Because the sun in the sky is too hot now, if you stay in the sun all the time, you will definitely suffer from heat stroke, so I think of the big tent at Sister Lan's house."

"Then I'll go back and get it now." Li Hongbin wanted to try it too, so he immediately got up and wanted to drive back.

"Wait, Brother Li, go and see if there is any charcoal seller in the town. If there is, you can get some. If not, you can only use the charcoal burned by yourself in the village."

"Okay, I'll go to the street to have a look."

After speaking, Li Hongbin left.

Taking advantage of this time, Zhang An lifted the grill out and washed it.

Zhang An was not worried about the ingredients for the barbecue. There were still two rabbits killed in the morning.

When Zhang An went to the town to go to the market last week, he even bought a box of ham sausage.

Zhang An thinks the current ham sausage is quite delicious. Chundu ham sausage is an older brand, which will not be seen in future generations.

It is quite fragrant when baked, and there are no additives.

When Li Hongbin went back to pick up the tent, everyone was preparing their favorite food.

Potatoes, corn, green beans, and eggplant.

Of course, Zhang An killed two more fish and marinated them first. There are still two rabbits killed in the morning, and he can roast one later to try.

Soon, Li Hongbin came back.

With him, he not only bought carbon with a tent, but also bought a box of popsicles.

"When you buy popsicles, you buy popsicles. Why do you also buy people who eat?"

Zhang An saw that this person even bought the foam box that was sold with popsicles, which was a bit outrageous.

This foam box is not just a foam box, because it has been processed inside, and the popsicles will not melt when placed inside.

"I didn't mean to go out later. If I only sold popsicles, they would all be melted on the way here, so I paid a little more money and bought the box."

Although Zhang An had a refrigerator at home, when he went to the river later, without this box, the popsicles would not last long, and he bought a lot of soft drinks.

Everyone was processing the ingredients. Zhang An took a hatchet and peeled some bamboo sticks out, which will be used to skewer later. Zhang An's father was worried that there were some bamboo thorns on them, so he brushed them with a steel wool.

We actually have steel wire mesh at home, but everyone thinks it’s still early, and it’s not long after dinner, so it’s better to make it slowly, and wait until three or four o’clock in the afternoon, when the sun will be weaker.

"Zhang An, is the place we're going to be by the river?"

Ding Yi asked while peeling potatoes.

"That's right, there is a big flat land beside the big river, right by the river bank, what's the matter, Lao Ding."

"It's okay, I'll just ask. Since that's the case, I'll bring my fishing rods over there later. We all brought our fishing rods here today. The river is so big, so there must be a lot of fish."

Zhang An didn't expect them to come with fishing rods, but now he put a lot of fish in the river, so he fished casually.

The happy time always passes quickly. By the time everyone got their things ready, it was three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

So Zhang An put some big things on the horse's back first, and asked his father to lead the horse away first.

Everyone was moving things behind, talking and laughing.

It's a pity that no dams have been built on the river banks. It seems that after a few years, the higher authorities will allocate funds to build dams on the big river, and cars will be able to drive across the river banks.

Everyone stopped and walked along the way, and soon arrived at the place Zhang An said.

It is the flooded pond where the family ducks used to be.

This is a place where Zhang An often comes. Not only is there a large dam, but there is also a mountain spring not far away. You can walk to the river in a few minutes. It is a good place.
