Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

Qin Huairu knew she couldn't hide it from Wang Hongtao, so she lowered her head: "Oh... you know it, but you still ask? You just want to make fun of me, don't you?"

"Isn't it okay if I say so? Really..."

Having said that, Qin Huairu was ready to go all out:

"There must be some selfishness involved."

“I’m afraid that if you marry someone else you might not care about me anymore, but Jingru is different.

Jingru has been close to me since she was young. If she can marry you, she will definitely be able to accommodate me in the future, and it will be convenient for our two families to visit each other."

"Jingru is such a stubborn girl. Now she's yours. If you don't marry her, I can't imagine what will happen to her in the future!"

Speaking of this, Qin Huairu is really worried about Qin Jingru. Jingru looks like a smart girl but is actually very stupid inside. When she is wronged, she just bears it by herself and won't even ask for an explanation.

This is not as good as myself!

Wang Hongtao nodded: "Jingru is really good, otherwise I wouldn't bring her out to play tomorrow."

"It's just that I'm a little young, and I can't register in the city."

Qin Huairu was delighted when she heard this: "You think Jingru is good too, right? What's the problem with waiting another year? Jingru is definitely willing to wait!"

Then Qin Huairu glanced at Wang Hongtao, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice:

"Well... even though you two did everything, you'd better restrain yourself. If you get Jingru pregnant, you won't be able to explain it."

"If you want, you can come to me and I will serve you!"

After saying that, Qin Huairu lowered her head shyly, too embarrassed to look at Wang Hongtao again.

"Heh." Wang Hongtao smiled slightly and did not continue teasing Qin Huairu.

"It's almost time for you to go back first. Remember to tell Jing Rusheng, don't forget."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely remember it."

……

When Qin Huairu returned to the Jia family, she saw Jia Zhang-shi scrubbing her cloth shoes while cursing. She pretended to be surprised and asked:

"Mom, whose shoes are you washing? Why do these shoes look so familiar?"

It would have been better if she didn't ask. Jia Zhang had almost let the matter go, but Qin Huairu lit firecrackers again when she asked.

The old woman threw the shoes in her hand into the basin, turned her head and said angrily:

"It was that damned Wang Hongtao. He wore the cloth shoes I made for him to go hunting in the mountains. When they broke, he blamed me for the bad shoes and insisted on asking me to exchange them for a new pair!"

"I... am so mad at me!"

Qin Huairu suppressed her laughter and said, "If he wants you to give it to him, then give it to him?"

Jia Zhang snorted and looked at Qin Huairu resentfully: "If he insists, what can I do? I can only give it to him!"

Qin Huairu always felt that what Jia Zhang said was strange, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

……

That night, Qin Jingru was so excited after hearing the good news from Qin Huairu that she couldn't sleep for half the night.

……

the next day.

It was already noon and there was still no sign of movement from Wang Hongtao, so Xu Damao couldn't help but come over and knock on the door.

"Brother, are you awake yet?"

"Um...Brother Damao comes here so early, what time is it?" Wang Hongtao said in a daze.

"Hey, what do you mean early? It's almost eight o'clock. How can you still sleep?"

"It's already eight o'clock? Brother Damao, you go home and wait for a while, I'll get up right away." Wang Hongtao said as he jumped up.

I got dressed, washed up, then bought three large meat buns from the system to fill my stomach, and then figured out what to bring with me.

Since I plan to roast suckling pig, I must first bring enough ingredients. I am not sure whether Xu Damao’s house has many of them, so I will buy them from the system mall first.

Anyway, Brother Damao is not an outsider, so there is no need to be so fussy about it.

The ingredients are refined salt, sugar, five-spice powder, soy sauce, cooking wine...

Wang Hongtao likes sweet food, so add some honey and sweet bean sauce.

Wang Hongtao thought that instead of waiting until he arrived at the place to prepare, he might as well start now. This way the food could be marinated more flavorfully and it would also save time.

He started by removing the head of the chestnut and then slowly removed all the bones. He used a knife to cut the thick meat so that it would be more flavorful, but he was careful not to break the skin.

The essence of roast suckling pig lies in the crispy skin.

Then rinse the pig body in boiling water and simmer for a few minutes.

Normally, it should be marinated overnight and then boiled in water, but I forgot to prepare it last night, so I can only make do with this.

The pig's body was still being washed, and Xu Damao couldn't wait to come over and take a look.

"Hey brother, are you ready? It's already so late and you're still not ready?"

Wang Hongtao responded while busying himself: "Right away, it's ready, it's ready. Just do the preparations at home and you can bake it directly when you go there, which can save time."

"Don't be idle, go home and prepare some eggplant, cabbage, enoki mushrooms, etc. Oh, and bring a few more white flour buns with you, so we can grill them and eat them together when the time comes."

"It's okay if it's not just your roasted suckling pig, but you can also roast steamed buns, eggplants and enoki mushrooms?" Xu Damao asked in surprise.

"How fresh is it?"

"As long as there's oil and seasoning, there's nothing that can't be grilled! Hurry up and get ready, otherwise I'll be busy while you're lagging behind."

……

After sending Xu Damao away, Wang Hongtao continued to work.

He rubbed five-spice powder, refined salt, sugar, soy sauce and cooking wine all over the trimmed pig body and marinated it.

Then wash and drain the herbs, celery leaves, green garlic leaves, cloves, ginger, etc., stuff them into the pig's belly and head, and finally tie the mouth with hemp rope and wait for it to marinate and absorb the flavor. The next work will have to wait until you arrive at the site.

Oh, by the way, the iron rack for roasting suckling pig must be prepared in advance.

Live together!

set off!

Xu Damao from next door had already prepared a lot of things, and even brought two sets of bowls and chopsticks. When Wang Hongtao saw this, he went home and got another set.

Xu Damao saw it and asked, "What's the matter, brother? Do you have anyone else going with us?"

"You'll know soon." Wang Hongtao did not comment.

"Okay, anyone can go as long as he's not a fool!"

Ah Huang ran in front with a camping mat tied to his back, and the three others followed closely behind him, chattering.

At the entrance of the alley, Qin Jingru had no idea how long she had been waiting there.

When she got bored, she would catch a fly, remove its wings and put it in front of the ants to watch the ants carry the fly.

"call!"

Wang Hongtao found it interesting, so he squatted down and blew away the flies with his breath.

"Oh who is so mean!"

Qin Jingru pouted and complained angrily, but when she saw that it was Wang Hongtao, she immediately turned her anger into joy: "Brother Tao, you are here!"

Wang Hongtao touched his head: "Well, have you been waiting for a long time?"

Qin Jingru nodded and then shook her head: "Not... not long."

"Where do you want to take me today?"

"Autumn outing, do you want to go? We just want to play in the wild and cook and eat in the wild!"

Qin Jingru nodded her head quickly:

"Think, think!"

"Brother Tao, I'll love it no matter where you take me!"

Xu Damao on the side was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of understanding, but Lou Xiao'e seemed a little unhappy.

Wang Hongtao ignored this and led the way towards the jeep.

When he sent Li Huaide back last night, he casually asked Director Li to borrow his jeep for a day, and Li Huaide readily agreed.

Qin Jingru: "Brother, should I still sit in the passenger seat today?"

"No, today Xu Damao will sit in the passenger seat, and you and Sister Xiao'e will sit in the back seat."

"Brother, where are we going today?" Xu Damao remembered to ask about today's destination after getting in the car.

"Xiangshan!"
