I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life

When the pies were out of the oven, Old Man Xu and Hunter Xu also came back. They took advantage of the afternoon when they were not busy to modify the wall of the rabbit house. There were no men to help with the wall because they originally planned to make a fence. Later, considering that the rabbit house was a certain distance from the house and close to the mountain, they still built a wall, otherwise they were afraid that animals on the mountain would come in and take the rabbits away. The blueprint of the wall was also drawn by Xu Congyi. The lower wall was made half a person's height, and the upper part was made of taller sharpened wooden sticks to make a fence, which was both safe and took into account the lighting.

Everyone was here, and it was finally time to eat! Xu Cong'an excitedly volunteered to serve the cold rabbit, and Xu Congwen followed him.

The hawthorn water, red as a gem, crystal clear, quietly waited to be enjoyed. Its function is similar to that of modern beverages. It is cool and can not only relieve the pain of being stimulated by peppers, but also bring a sense of coolness and comfort. In fact, drinking milk is the best way to relieve spiciness, but Xu Congyi always felt that milk was not suitable for this dinner.

"The cold rabbit I made today contains a lot of chili peppers. Even though most of them are mildly spicy, it is definitely much spicier than the spicy food we have eaten before. So don't be greedy! If it is spicy, just eat vegetarian pie or drink hawthorn water." Xu Congyi specifically instructed his family members.

The greasy cold rabbit exudes an attractive aroma, as if waving to people, making people salivate. Although Xu Congyi had already instructed, the Xu family couldn't help but take a few more chopsticks. The spicy taste of the rabbit meat spread instantly on the tip of the tongue, and the sound of "shashasha" was endless. However, this spiciness was extremely enjoyable. The people who were unable to bear the spiciness picked up the cup of hawthorn water. The sour and sweet taste, with a little coolness, matched the rabbit meat perfectly. Everyone was intoxicated by this wonderful taste, a bite of rabbit meat, a few bites of pie, and then two sips of hawthorn water. This combination made people unable to stop. Xu Congyi secretly rejoiced in his heart that it was a wise choice to make vegetarian pie, which was both refreshing and greasy.

Old Man Xu and Hunter Xu looked at the delicious food on the table and took out the rice wine that was left over from the previous meal for the men. The aroma of the rice wine filled the air. The combination of the rice wine and the cold rabbit was a perfect match, which made people feel a different kind of boldness and joy.

When they were almost done eating, Xu Congyi asked her family for their opinions. After all, her understanding of the taste of food came from modern times. There were many foods that people of this era might think were delicious but she didn't, and there were also foods that she might think were delicious but her family didn't.

"What do you think? I'd like to let Mr. Tang taste this food. I want to work with Mr. Tang to sell cold rabbit."

"Of course I can! It's so delicious!"

But Xu Congyi was not completely relieved. After all, doing business was not a joke and he still had to get past Tang Wenhao.

……

In order to let Tang Wenhao taste the cold rabbit he made, Xu Congyi planned to go to see Tang Wenhao at noon. Today was his second day off, and he had to make popcorn tomorrow. It was just right that he could ask Tang Xiaowu to take him home after lunch. He also had to deliver the wooden box of popcorn anyway, so he could take a ride on the way.

The day before, I found out whose ox cart took the last trip to the county town in the morning. Many people here go to the county town, but not many families have ox carts, so everyone agreed on what time each person would leave the village to go to the county town, which is very similar to modern buses. For example, Da Niu's family has two ox carts. If no one rents a car, they will take turns going to the county town. If someone wants to rent a car, they will rent it out. The last time our family went to the temple, we rented Da Niu's car.

The latest oxcart trip was at nine in the morning, which was still early, but people either wanted to sell their hard-earned agricultural products in the hope of getting a good price, or go to the county town to buy daily necessities. If they went too late, there might not be any good choices in the market. When they arrived at the county town, Xu Congyi paid the one-way fare directly and specifically told them that they didn't need to wait for her if they wanted to go back.

The distance between the county town and Liushuzhuang Village is not far. It takes about an hour for a bullock cart to move slowly. It only takes about 40 minutes for Tang Xiaowu to drive a horse carriage. After getting off the car, Xu Congyi stopped in an empty alley and looked at the time. It was 10:10. It was a little early, but she could go directly to Tangji. However, she felt a little nostalgic and wanted to go to Grandpa Shen's noodle stall. After all, she hadn't seen Grandpa Shen and Shen Xiao for a long time, and she still missed them.

Xu Congyi did not prepare cold rabbit for Grandpa Shen. Grandpa Shen was taking medicine and was not suitable for spicy food. As for Shen Xiao, Xu Congyi wanted to see if he was busy. Tang Xiaowu had said before that the noodle stall business was very good. Shen Xiao was busy with his studies on weekdays and could not help but rush home to help. Therefore, Tang Wenhao hired a waiter for Grandpa Shen. If Shen Xiao was not busy, she wanted to invite him to go to Tang Wenhao's place to taste the food.
