59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.

Chen Hao carried rice, Chen Feng carried the prey, and Chen Li jumped and skipped in front, calling it "leading the way."

Chen Jianjun looked at the fields by the river. In the setting sun, some rice fields had already begun to be planted.

Many children were playing on the ridges of the fields, waiting for their parents to finish work.

"Brother, we come here to farm, don't we?" Chen Hao shuddered when he saw the boys and girls in the fields in the distance.

"What do you think?" Chen Feng said with a smile.

Early rice in the north is sown in late March or early April, and transplanted in late April or early May.

It's over, it's over!

This holiday is going to be wasted again!

Chen Hao's face turned bitter, and he felt that he shouldn't have come here at all.

Chen Feng smiled and shook his head. This idiot is not from the village. Even if he wants to earn work points, the village will not allow him!

Only Chen Li knew nothing and was still shouting, "Big Pot, Second Brother, Dad, hurry up."

When we arrived at Zhou Jing's yard, we saw smoke rising from the yard from a distance.

Chen Li ran over and shouted happily: "Cousin, I want to barbecue too."

Zhou Dinghai, Zhou Fubo, Zhou Xiaoya, and a few other Zhou family teenagers and children whose names Chen Feng couldn't remember were grilling a wild duck, a sea fish or something like that on a stick by the stone stove in the yard, over a flame.

"Cousin, that's great!"

When they saw Chen Li, the two cousins ​​knew that their cousin had also come.

Zhou Xiaoya saw Chen Feng coming in, holding a plump bird, and said happily, "Big brother."

A group of children followed suit and shouted in a mess.

Chen Feng gave each person a candy and asked, "Didn't you go to the fields?"

"Thank you, big brother."

"Thank you, cousin."

"Cousin, brush it for me, I'm the best at it!"

Zhou Li snatched the brush from Zhou Dinghai's hand, which was the brush he had left behind before, and brushed a layer of water on the two birds in Zhou Fubo's hands one by one.

Apparently, since Chen Feng was not around, their aunt strictly forbade them to use oil brushes.

These little guys changed to using water brushes.

Although water is much worse than oil, it has one advantage: it can replenish the moisture that evaporates during grilling in the meat, making the taste not so bad.

If you don't use water, the skin of the roasted meat will definitely be burnt, and the inside will be dry and unpalatable.

Of course, using water also has disadvantages, as it will take longer to bake.

"My grandfather said we don't have to fight for work points." Zhou Xiaoya brushed a layer of water on her bird for Chen Li.

Grandpa and grandma were at home. They heard Chen Li's voice outside, and when they came out, they saw Chen Hao coming over with a bag to show off.

"Grandpa, look, what is this?"

Chen Hao's voice was not loud. Grandpa took the bag and went into the kitchen. After opening it, he found that it was rice.

"Don't tell anyone else."

"Of course I know."

This little bit of rice isn't much, but there's no need to tell anyone about it.

"Grandpa, I'm going to roast a chicken!"

Chen Feng just came in, and Chen Hao looked at the prey in his hand.

"Brother, I want some barbecue too. Give me the fattest pheasant."

After picking out the fattest one for him, Chen Hao picked up the kettle in the kitchen and prepared to scald the chicken feathers.

Seeing the prey in Chen Feng and Chen Jianjun's hands, Grandpa smiled and said, "You have caught more than all of us together."

Chen Hao boasted, "Grandpa, you don't know, my eldest brother is amazing, he can shoot wherever he points his slingshot. These were all shot by my eldest brother along the way, and he even gave several of them to others."

"Then let's not go fishing these days, let's go catch birds. The price of buying birds in the city is much more expensive than fish." Grandma said happily: "There are birds everywhere outside."

Chen Jianjun waited for Chen Hao to finish perming the birds, and then permed the other birds as well.

These birds were killed by stones and must be pickled, otherwise they will go bad over time.

The Zhou family doesn’t have an ice cellar, nor do they have specially made boxes to store ice.

Grandpa and grandma also came to help.

"Xiao Feng, go play for a while. It will take some time before work ends. I will cook later."

Grandpa didn't let Chen Feng do it, mainly because the basin was only that big and there wasn't much boiling water.

"Ok."

Chen Feng took out three bottles of peanut oil, a bottle of fine salt purified from space, a jar of deer blood health wine, a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes and five bottles of Xifeng wine from his schoolbag.

In addition, the national food coupons, cloth coupons, etc. that were recently exchanged for the birds were also given to the two elderly people.

"We have enough food and cloth now. You can keep these for yourself and prepare some new clothes for the little girl and your grandfather." Grandpa was unwilling to accept them.

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Grandpa, please accept it. I earned all this myself. I gave half to grandpa and grandma, and this half is for you."

He did give the old man five bottles of wine and the old lady a pack of Peony cigarettes.

There is only oil and salt, which are naturally indispensable.

"That won't work either." Grandma shook her head and said, "You have already shown enough filial piety to us."

"It's only natural for a grandson to respect his grandparents." Chen Feng said, "You can't ask me to carry them back again. I'll be exhausted."

"Then don't bring it next time."

"Hey, let's talk about it next time."

Chen Feng poured a bowl of barbecue oil and was about to go out when he saw that some of the honeycomb coal he had brought last time was missing.

"Grandpa, is this coal useful?"

"It's very useful. When you go fishing at night, adding an iron stove to the boat is warmer than wearing several layers of clothes."

When I came outside, I saw a few little guys grilling meat attentively. I walked over and put a bowl of oil on a stool.

"Little sister, don't use water, use oil."

"Yeah, Big Pot, do you want to barbecue too?" Chen Li asked expectantly.

"Forget it, your second brother will grill the meat later, and you can share the fat chicken." Chen Feng did not participate, but sat beside them and instructed them how to grill.

A few minutes later, Chen Hao also joined in.

The stage was not big enough originally, and with the addition of Chen Hao, it became even more crowded.

But they didn't think so. They were all very happy looking at the roasted bird coated with oil.

By the time Zhou Dinghai and his friends had finished grilling the meat, Chen Hao was still grilling his own.

Chen Li couldn't wait and accepted one of Zhou Fubo's bird legs.

After taking just one bite, her face wrinkled and she wanted to vomit.

"It doesn't matter if it doesn't taste good." Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Mmmm!" Chen Li ate it forcefully and shook her head in disagreement.

But he ate it with his mouth, but was unwilling to eat the one in his hands.

"Cousin, it's not tasty. I'll have the second pot."

The meat was roasted with water and lacked various seasonings. For a little foodie, she would rather wait for Chen Hao to roast it.

"Okay, I'll eat it myself." Zhou Fubo also coveted Chen Hao's meal, but like Chen Li, he adhered to the principle of never wasting food.

This is meat worth several kilograms of rice!

The adults agreed to let them have a barbecue, which was very tolerant and loving.

If you don't eat the food after it's cooked and let the adults know, you will definitely get beaten.

There are many children in the village, but they have nothing to eat even if they want to.
