Scholars in the courtyard

At night, the entire courtyard was enveloped by the aroma of fish meat from the middle courtyard.

Those who had eaten were okay and felt their stomachs and went to sleep.

I just had nothing to eat. I couldn't eat the steamed buns and pickles in my hands due to the aroma.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

In Shazhu's house, a man and a woman, the three members of the Jia family and the deaf old lady gathered around the table, and plates of hot dishes were placed on the table. In fact, the dishes everyone ate were the same. The only difference was the seasonings used. .

Most people have to save oil when cooking, and the only seasoning is salt.

Silly Zhu is different. As a cook, there will naturally be no shortage of seasonings. He usually brings some from the kitchen and it is enough for home use.

This is also a characteristic of the times. In famine years, the cook will never die of hunger.

For this meal, Shazhu worked hard and used all his strength to make the aroma in the room more attractive.

"Master, please try this braised pork."

Silly Zhu placed the red and oily braised pork in front of Yi Zhonghai and sat down.

Yi Zhonghai on the side listened very much, with a paternalistic tenderness on his face, and nodded in agreement.

But he did not move his chopsticks, but said to the deaf old lady beside him, "Zhuzi, our old lady is older and respects the old and loves the young. We should let the old lady eat first."

Silly Zhu reacted and patted his cheek gently, "Ouch, I deserve a beating."

"Old lady, please try it first."

The deaf old lady is no longer deaf, and her face smiles like a chrysanthemum.

"Okay, okay!"

"Zhuzi just has a good heart and still remembers me as an old and immortal child. I am really a filial child."

Silly Zhu was praised all the time, and his face was filled with joy.

The old lady picked up a piece of fat meat with chopsticks and put it in her mouth with a satisfied smile.

Seeing this, the old man couldn't stand the aroma of braised pork and quickly said to the people around him, "Everyone, whatever you want, whatever!"

Before she finished speaking, Jia Zhang, who couldn't wait for a long time, had already stretched out her chopsticks, inserted two big pieces of fat meat accurately, and stuffed them into her mouth in an instant.

The arms don't stop and continue to penetrate the flesh.

Jia Dongxu on the side was not slow, and his mouth was also filled with meat. Qin Huairu was still concerned about her face, but seeing this situation, if she didn't take action, not even a piece of meat would be left.

swipe

Soon the bottom of the small plate of braised pork was almost gone. Jia Zhang opened her big mouth and chewed hard, fearing that a little oil and water would come out of her mouth.

Qin Huairu bit into the meat bit by bit, stuffing the meat into her stomach.

He Yuyu only ate one piece of meat and saw that there was only one piece left on the plate, but the first man and Silly Zhu hadn't eaten yet.

Everyone at the scene looked at the Jia family and felt uncomfortable.

Jia Zhang finally swallowed the meat, and when she saw there was another piece on the plate, she stretched out her chopsticks.

uh-huh

A sudden sound interrupted her. Looking at the angry looks of several people around her, she took back her chopsticks in embarrassment and said shamelessly.

"Our family is in great difficulty. We haven't had any food or water for more than half a year."

"It's all because Silhu made it so delicious that I couldn't resist it."

Mrs. Jia Zhang showed a self-righteous smile, while Jia Dongxu on the side said nothing, still savoring the taste of the braised pork.

Qin Huairu held her belly.

"Silly Zhu, your braised pork is so delicious. Our family is short of oil and water. The children in our stomachs were making a fuss just now. After eating your meat, they will be quiet now."

When Si Zhu heard this, he burst into laughter.

"As long as my eldest nephew likes it, it's just a piece of meat. I'll eat it later if I have more."

Silly Zhu said, looking at Qin Huairu with an inexplicable heartbeat.

If Yang Xiaotao hears Qin Huairu's words here, he will definitely tell her that it is your glutton that is causing trouble, not the embryonic child.

"Master, you are the elder, you should eat this piece of meat."

Silly Zhu placed the meat in front of the uncle.

Jia Dongxu, who was on the side, also took the opportunity to speak, "Yes, Master. You are the most respected and respected person in the courtyard. You deserve to eat this meat."

Jia Dongxu didn't care at all about the generosity of others. He ate several pieces anyway.

Yi Zhonghai was filled with joy, "Okay, okay."

"There are still many sensible people in our yard."

"Everyone helps each other, and life will be better and better in the future."

bang bang bang

He Yuyu and Qin Huairu couldn't help but applaud, and Auntie looked at Jia Dongxu and Shazhu with joy, thinking about how to enhance their relationship in the future.

suck

At this moment, Mrs. Jia Zhang suddenly pushed her nose and tried to inhale.

The deaf old lady frowned and was about to teach the ungrateful Zhang Erniu a lesson, when suddenly an alluring fish scent came into her nose.

"This damn heartless little beast has no respect for the old and cares for the young. He eats fish at home and doesn't take care of anyone else. He's really bad."

"My father drank alcohol and ate meat right after his death. You have to take care of this style problem."

Jia Zhang looked at the ear room of the middle courtyard and knew that it was Yang Xiaotao who had caught the fish.

The aroma and the portion are definitely better and more delicious than the braised pork.

"Yes, Master. This Yang Xiaotao is too selfish and inhumane at all. If you ask me, just hold a meeting and kick him out."

Jia Dongxu's eyes flashed with vicious light.

Yi Zhonghai lowered his head and drank the wine. He also knew Yang Xiaotao's situation, but now he didn't want to provoke him anymore.

It's fine for both parties to live their own lives without interfering with each other.

Everyone in the room was attracted by the smell of fish. Silly Zhu closed his eyes and smelled the aroma.

"Star anise, cinnamon, and white wine!"

"Tsk tsk, it would be better if there was a little more pepper."

In the backyard, Xu Damao threw a duck leg bone onto the plate, "Humph, isn't it just a fish? Is Quanjude's roast duck delicious?"

"Just show off and make people hate you."

Xu Damao said angrily, while Xu's father and mother were expressionless, but they were all confused by Yang Xiaotao's recent changes.

"This kid has become more mature after his father died."

Xu's father sighed, looked at Xu Damao again, and shook his head helplessly.

Next door at Liu Haizhong's house, the two brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu swallowed hard and their eyes nearly popped out.

Liu Guangqi sat on the stool, a little lost in thought, but the surging Adam's apple also showed his desire for delicious food.

Liu Haizhong suddenly felt that the eggs on his hands no longer smelled good.

Originally, Silhu was suffocating without calling him for the treat, but now Yang Xiaotao was eating fish again. I heard it was a big fish weighing more than ten kilograms, but he was not called, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Liu Haizhong just felt that the people in this compound respected him less and less.

"Little bastard, if you don't want to eat, get out of here."

Seeing the appearance of the three brothers, Liu Hai was so angry that he took out the feather duster with bald hair on one side and directed it at the three sons.

This time, Liu Guangqi was not spared.

The second aunt looked on, indifferent.

The shouts of the three Liu Guangqi brothers rang out in the backyard, making the whole compound more lively.

In the front yard, Yan Fugui, who came back empty-handed, was sitting in front of the table with a sad face. The whole family was waiting for him to eat.

"Hey, put these peanuts away and eat them tomorrow."

Looking at the peanuts on the table, Yan Fugui counted them and finally selected three for each person, keeping the rest.

In this regard, Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang had no objection at all, and they did not dare to have any objection. As for the young Yan Jiekang, he stared at the peanuts with wide eyes, fearing that he would have less.

At Uncle Chen's house, as the silver carp came out of the pot, the people at the table were also conquered by the smell.

At this time, there was Wang Dashan called by Yang Xiaotao on the table.

There are three gangs of heroes. As a latecomer, Yang Xiaotao naturally understands the key to defeating the enemy.

That is to make good use of the weapon of the united front, unite all forces that can be united, and win over all possible allies.

This is a magic weapon that even imperialism cannot withstand. It is not easy to capture the beasts in the courtyard.

Therefore, in this yard, people who are friendly to Yang Xiaotao and not too beastly become comrades who can be won over. If they teach the people in need in the factory, they will become their own circle over time.

"Uncle Chen, the fish my aunt cooks is much better than the one I cook at home."

Wang Dashan has an honest face, a tough body, and tough words.

This time when he came to eat, Wang Dashan didn't come empty-handed. He took two palm-long enemas, which he filled himself with leftovers from the meat factory. They were definitely good things in this era.

The big fish on the table was cut up and divided into two large plates. Everyone ate the fish head, and no one touched the rest.

This is also the rule when going to eat at other people's houses. Some hard dishes on the table are actually good-looking. Basically, if the host doesn't move, others won't either.

This can be saved for next time.

Of course, there is nothing special here. There are only two plates of fish on the table except for one plate of pickles. Yang Xiaotao and others started eating the fish while holding their chopsticks.

The fish was quite big, half of it covered the plate. The fish meat was crispy and tender, and the fish skin was even more delicious after being boiled in soup.

There aren't many bones in the silver carp and it tastes delicious.

Yang Xiaotao also sighed at the side, this fish is more delicious than those raised in later generations. It is a pure natural green food, no pollution, no additives, and it tastes less earthy.

"Haha. Your aunt was even more powerful when she was young."

"Everyone from all over the country knows it."

After two drinks, Uncle Chen's face turned red and his words were a little hesitant.

Wang Dashan started drinking with Yang Xiaotao. Even though Yang Xiaotao was young, he had a large capacity for drinking.

After a few drinks, the relationship between the two continued to heat up. Yang Xiaotao called him Uncle Dashan, and Wang Dashan also recognized this brother.

The two of them don't care about the messy relationship.

"Xiao Tao, you're not young anymore. It's time to find a wife."

"I'll introduce you to a girl from the factory tomorrow. Don't worry, it will definitely be easy for you to have a baby."

Wang Dashan's face was red, he was drunk, he patted the table and said to Yang Xiaotao.

Yang Xiaotao thought of Aunt Wang's thick figure and couldn't accept the aesthetics of this era.

Otherwise, Shazhu would be so obsessed with Qin Huairu who gave birth to three children, and would be greedy for her body?

Isn’t it just a big butt and a pair of big headlights?

Those with big butts that are easy to give birth to, those with strong bodies that can give birth to sons, and those with big bones and strong bones are the mainstream of this era.

Compared to the size of the butt, he can accept it, and he likes the prominent headlights.

But definitely not thick.

It’s just what everyone likes, but they also have personal insistence.

"Uncle Dashan, my father is not even a year old yet. This matter is not urgent."

Yang Xiaotao also wanted to use his father's filial piety as a drag, but as soon as he said it, Uncle Chen's eyes widened.

"Xiao Tao, don't talk nonsense."

"What age is this? The country encourages widows to remarry and have children, but it doesn't have feudal practices!"

After the old man finished speaking, Aunt Chen on the side kicked him over, "The old man is drunk and confused. There is no question of feudalism or not. This is called filial piety. It is a matter of course."

After saying this, Uncle Chen also knew that he was serious. If these words spread, Yang Xiaotao would inevitably be in trouble.

After Aunt Chen finished speaking, she looked at Yang Xiaotao.

"Your uncle is right. In this era, widows are encouraged to remarry and contribute to the country."

"Xiao Tao, I think you need to think about it. You can't let the Yang family die."

Yang Xiaotao nodded. It's not that he doesn't want to look for it, but there are too many animals in this courtyard. If he doesn't pick these guys up, his wife must not be bullied every day?

unless……
