Chapter 176 Buying ham after dinner

After dinner.

Hu Youyu and Zhang Wentao packed up the dishes and took them to the sink when Zhang Wentao patted Hu Youyu on the shoulder and left.

Seeing this, Hu Youyu was not happy, and complained to Zhang Wentao in a low voice: "You are really looking for a guy..."

Zhang Wentao smiled awkwardly, then turned around and patted him on the shoulder, cheerfully.

After leaving the kitchen, he came to Xu Hongdou in the yard.

He took the initiative to take the other party's tender little hand, and said, "Why don't we go for a stroll?"

Xu Hongdou was overjoyed. She was looking forward to Zhang Wentao's invitation, after all, this was their first walk after the rain after dating.

With a smirk, she glanced at him and said cheerfully, "Okay."

Zhang Wentao likes rain very much, and likes the light rain in BJ's autumn.

Thin raindrops sprinkled on the ground, floating down with yellowed leaves, without an umbrella, wearing a windbreaker and walking in the drizzle, watching the pedestrians and the scenery of Xiangshan in the distance.

But now, he prefers to see his girlfriend jumping over the small water stand on tiptoe.

While laughing and laughing, the two of them held hands and would slide on the shiny stone road from time to time.

Get the attention of others.

And every time I meet the aunts and uncles I know.

Xu Hongdou would blush slightly, as if she had done something embarrassing, like a child who did something wrong.

As more and more people met, this feeling of shyness became heavier and heavier.

She wanted to let go of the little hand that was being gently held, but she couldn't pull it out.

"By the way, let's go buy some ham. I want to send some to my family, as well as Nan Xing's parents." Xu Hongdou, who was dragged back to his side by someone, finished speaking with a soft smile, and looked up slightly. Zhang Wentao: "And your aunt and uncle."

"Okay."

Zhang Wentao nodded.

"Then let's go to Aunt Feng's house. I heard that her house has freshly marinated." As she spoke, she dragged Zhang Wentao and turned into an alley, looking very familiar.

"Aunt Feng's house?" Zhang Wentao nodded and said with a smile, "You really... never let go of any chance to help others."

"Aunt Feng is really not easy."

After Xu Hongdou finished speaking, she stopped, leaned closer, and softly instructed, "When you get to Aunt Feng's house, don't put on a straight face. Uncle Achang is a very nice person. Aunt Feng usually doesn't like to talk, understand."

Zhang Wentao let out a "huh" and looked at Xu Hongdou who came close to him and blinked after speaking.

He suddenly had an illusion.

It's not the other person's demeanor and appearance, but the tone of the other person's speech.

It's a bit like the tone that my mother often told me when I used to accompany my parents to visit relatives during the New Year's holidays.

This made him doubt whether he had found a girlfriend or a mother.

Thinking of this aspect, that yellow smiley face appeared in his mind again.

That thing seems to be for children too.

"Did you hear that?" Seeing that Zhang Wentao's expression was a little stiff, Xu Hongdou shook the other party's hand and said coquettishly in a discussion tone.

Zhang Wentao nodded, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Well, I know."

Only then did Xu Hongdou nodded in satisfaction, glanced left and right, and found that there were only the two of them in front of and behind the alley, then quickly stood on tiptoe, and kissed Zhang Wentao's cheek with a smile.

It was as if a special reward was given to an obedient child.

After the kiss, she blushed, looked ahead, pretended not to care, and said, "Let's go."

Zhang Wentao, who was attacked by surprise, was also taken aback for a moment before realizing it.

Xu Hongdou's actions undoubtedly gave him a great surprise, and he didn't care about his wild thoughts. He was very proud and comfortable.

But in the hearty feeling, I always feel weird...

The two quickly held hands and walked through the quaint and quiet alleys until they came to an old house located in the westernmost part of the village.

The squares of Yunmiao Village are all next to each other, big and small, and they all have yards.

Many people will plant their favorite flowers to decorate in this place where spring is all year round, or plant some trees to enjoy the shade.

Aunt Feng's house is no exception.

Outside the door, you can see the scenery in the courtyard.

But what attracts attention is not the sparse and ordinary green plants and flowers here, but the green grass on the roof tiles and the mottled wooden piles that have not been repaired for a long time.

The walls in the home are also full of old feelings.

It's hard to see the white paint he used to paint, it looks yellow and a little gray.

Take a closer look at the four corners of the room, and you can still see incomplete spider webs.

When Xu Hongdou and Zhang Wentao came, the old couple of Aunt Feng's family were having a meal, white rice with some simple stir-fried vegetables, no oil star.

These subtleties are matched with the shabby clothes on Aunt Feng and Uncle Achang.

It shows that the old couple is not only struggling, but also has no intention of focusing on themselves.

"Yo, Manager Xu and Master Zhang are here."

Seeing the two of them coming in, Aunt Feng quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks, and a little embarrassed asked Uncle Achang to quickly put away the simple food on the table, and at the same time greeted him out the door.

When Uncle Achang saw the smiling person coming from the yard, he also stiffly greeted him.

"Aunt Feng, you don't need to be busy. I came to Wentao to buy ham from you. Mr. Xie said that your ham is very well marinated. I want to send some to my family."

Xu Hongdou's voice was soft, and while speaking, she let go of the hand that had been held tightly by the old man, and walked forward enthusiastically, with a smile on her face.

"Ah, yes, thank you very much."

Aunt Feng said politely, and led the two of them to the living room facing the courtyard.

Seeing the two of them walk in, she said with some embarrassment: "The house is a bit messy and dirty, don't mind."

"No, Aunt Feng."

Xu Hongdou smiled, and Zhang Wentao also pursed his lips.

After taking a seat, Aunt Feng was greeting the two of them. Uncle Achang brought over two teacups shyly and said:
"Manager Xu, Master Zhang, we don't have any good tea at home, it's not as good as your city people..."

"It's okay, Uncle Achang, it's all the same."

Zhang Wentao took the teacup, nodded with a smile to express his gratitude, and at the same time blew away the scum floating in the teacup indifferently.

Tea, isn't it just a taste of tea.

He couldn't appreciate how delicious the tea carefully brewed by Lao Ma was.

In his dictionary, except that jasmine tea has a floral fragrance and Kuding tea is hard to swallow, other teas basically have the same taste, but the price is different.

It's like green tea and white tea.

In his eyes, the bubbles are almost the same color.
Xu Hongdou didn't mind this kind of tea either. She took the tea with a smile, and with a smile on her face, she blew on the hot air and took a sip.

No praise, no frown.

As always, there was a touch of her grace in nature.

"Aunt Feng, Uncle Achang, I want to buy four hams." After taking a sip of tea, Xu Hongdou smiled at Aunt Feng and Uncle Achang.

"4?"

Aunt Feng looked at the two of them in surprise.

A little embarrassed, Uncle Achang said shyly: "There are so many, Manager Xu, this ham will take a long time to eat. Your family..."

People from Yunnan have the custom of cured ham, and there are many types of ham. The cured ham in each place has its own taste.It is most appropriate to use the local people's saying that one side of water and soil supports one side of people, and one side of ham also tastes like one side of ham.

The ham cured by Aunt Feng's family is a typical Dali Heqing ham from the method of marinating to the taste.

This kind of ham has a history of more than 400 years. It is said that it has been passed down during the Jiaqing period, and it is also exported to Southeast Asia and other countries...
