The days when I was cooking at station B

The stuffing in the shepherd's purse dumplings is mainly pork belly and shepherd's purse. After all, the leek box is rich in stuffing, including diced meat, dried fragrant, mushrooms, diced lotus root, vermicelli and leeks.

Both sides are fried brown and crispy, and it smells very fragrant at first glance. It just came out of the pan, and the children who were still watching TV outside ran in one by one smelling the aroma.

"Wow! It's a leek box, or Brother Xiaohang, you made it, it smells so good, I want to eat it." Tingting and the others salivated.

There were almost six of them in this pot, and the heat was not dissipated before they were robbed by the children.

For example, Ke Xiaodong, who was still a little shy and introverted and didn’t dare to get in touch with strangers, was empty-handed, and Xuan Ming was naturally embarrassed to grab food with the children.

But Ke Xiaomin was not afraid, he let it go, quickly grabbed one, breathed out, and tore off half of the leek box in his hand and gave it to his younger brother.

"Take it, eat it and there will be more in a while." Say it, and start eating first.

Ke Xiaodong hummed twice, not being obedient and obedient, he blew twice, and began to eat very delicately.

"My brother is very good at cooking. The food he cooks is delicious, and my brother has made a lot of money from this." Ke Xiaomin proudly showed off her brother.

It may be that Ke Xiaohang shoulders the role of an elder. He is both a father and a mother. He takes care of her daily life and saves her in dire straits many times. That kind of admiration cannot be expressed to others.

No, when it comes to her brother, it's like a fanatic.

"Really, Xiaohang is really powerful." The aunt was amazed.

This kind of admiration is the gratification and happiness that Ke Xiaohang can make money with his own craftsmanship.

"Yeah, I worked for a restaurant outside for a few years, and then I did it myself. This is also the source of my life. Auntie, why don't you let me cook the dinner at night, how about you try my craft?" Seeing the busy work of the two aunts, Ke Xiaohang felt that he should also do something to let the aunts and the others rest for a while.

"That's okay, you guys are just playing around. It's not easy for you to make money outside. It's not easy to make money these days. The people in the city are more sophisticated. We are low-educated, and we don't have many hearts. It's easy to suffer. I see you I didn't take much rest, but this time I came to my aunt's house to have fun and relax, and when I get home, I should be like a child, with a little vitality." My aunt disagreed.

The second aunt also stood by her aunt this time, and said: "That's right, your two cousins ​​have been in and out of society for several years, and every time they come back, they just come back with clothes and food and mouths. Let's enjoy it when we go home, let's talk about it." It’s just these few days, if it lasts for ten days and a half months, then I’m sure I’ll be bored.”

Ke Xiaohang: "...Then I'll help you during dinner."

I also ate the leek box, and the wrapped leek box was also boiled in the pot. It was paired with the chili sauce made by my aunt, and Ke Xiaohang and the others ate their belly bulging.

Not to mention, it's really comfortable to open your clothes and reach out your hands like this.

In the afternoon, Ke Xiaohang told his aunt that he planned to go to his elder sister Ke Wenwen's house tomorrow. He planned to take his younger sister and younger brother to see her, and his father's funeral was almost ready, so he didn't plan to stay here any longer.

Too much involved, he was afraid that he would really be reluctant to leave.

"Okay, let's go and have a look." My aunt was silent for a long time after listening to Ke Xiaohang's words, and then she said after a while, "We haven't had much contact with her these years, and when we meet occasionally, she is almost like a stranger. I feel...she has changed a lot. , take a look when you go, she is doing well now, and you are doing well, too, so it's fine."

The second aunt frowned and said nothing.

Ke Xiaohang was sensitive to discover that the two aunts seemed to be somewhat resistant to her sister.

No matter what the reason was, Ke Xiaohang felt that he had no reason to ask.

"Okay, Auntie, I understand."

The aunt nodded: "Okay, that's it. Remember to come back tomorrow. Your second aunt and I have prepared some things for you, as well as your father's tablet, which your uncle has also marked."

After telling her where she was going, Ke Xiaohang also called her sister and told her to go to her house tomorrow, and at the same time asked where she lived now.

Because my aunt said that she has a house in the village, which is very elegant, and there are two houses in the county.

Ke Xiaomin and the others were also on the side, and the two of them could hear clearly, anyway, wherever my brother went, they would go there.

In the afternoon, I went outside to play for a while, and then went to the nearby lake. Ke Xiaohang and Xuanming were fishing for water chestnuts with bamboo poles, while the others sat obediently on the shore, picking, peeling, and eating.

The two corners of the water chestnut are curved, the outer shell is hard and ugly, and the meat inside is white and juicy. It tastes sweet and delicious, and every bite is crunchy. It has just been salvaged from the lake, and each one is very tender.

After eating water chestnut, I picked a few lotus pods by the way. The fresh lotus pods have a faint fragrance, and the lotus seeds have a slight sweetness.

After playing by the lake for most of the afternoon, Ke Xiaohang and the others just went back, and when they got back, they saw Uncle and the others dealing with pig ears, pig tails, and pig intestines.

Pig ears and pig tails are both delicious and delicious, but it is a bit troublesome to handle. The fur needs to be shaved clean, as well as the sebum dirt on the surface.

The pig's ears and pig's tail are first burnt with fire, then scraped with a knife, and finally put in brine to make them taste delicious.

Pig large intestine is difficult to wash, and if it is not clean, it has a strong smell. People who like to eat large intestine are fine, but those who don’t like it can’t stand the smell.Ke Xiaohang saw that his aunt and the others used coarse salt to scrub repeatedly, rubbing off the inner membrane of the large intestine, rubbing away excess fat and snot-like mucus, and when the mucus was gone, the smell was almost gone.

Half of the pig's large intestine was marinated, and the other half was kept.

So in the evening, there are cold pig ears, braised pig tails, and stir-fried fatty intestines. The fatty intestines have a taste but not a fishy stewed fatty intestines.The other kind is not braised, fresh, and the fat intestines are also thick and authentic. My aunt also took into account the tastes of different people, with spicy and non-spicy, with and without stew.

In addition to these, there are also two cousins ​​who said in the morning, dried beans with meat, fried day lily with minced garlic, fried winter bamboo shoots with minced meat, small green vegetables of this season, fish-flavored eggplant, hot and sour potato shreds, and Xihuashi egg soup.

Of course, the delicious side dishes include the hot and sour cucumbers soaked in vinegar that my aunt is good at after all. The cucumbers were picked yesterday, and they belong to the kind that are made and eaten now.After soaking for a long time, the skin of the cucumber is still green, and the inside of the cucumber is the color of freshly cut. Because the soaking time is not long, it will not be very sour.

The taste is still crunchy in the mouth.

"I've dealt with your father's funeral in a simple way without disturbing other people in the village. I think it will be settled in a day or two." During the meal, the uncle mentioned this matter.

"Okay, thank you uncle. Thanks to you, otherwise I really don't know what to do."

The uncle waved his hands repeatedly, he and the second uncle drank beer and discussed about the fishpond and orchard, the two got along well, there was no quarrel or even a big fight between the family members in Ke Xiaohang's memory because of a piece of land or water discharge in the river.

It seems that life has changed, and the relationship between the two has gradually improved.

The two are learning from each other.

"We're all a family. What do you do with such polite words? It's a trivial matter."

A table of dishes was clean, Ke Xiaohang and his uncle sat in the yard for most of the night, and the time for chatting quietly slipped away.

Early the next morning, Ke Xiaohang greeted his aunt and prepared to set off with Xuanming and his younger siblings.

"Skipping breakfast?" Aunt didn't expect Ke Xiaohang to get up so early, she hasn't prepared breakfast yet.

"Don't bother me, Auntie, I'm going to eat on the street. I'm catching up early and I plan to go to the street to buy something for my sister. It's not good to go empty-handed." Ke Xiaohang said.

Aunt nodded: "Okay, bring some gifts and be polite. You can come back today after you go."

"Well, I know." Ke Xiaohang agreed, and then he took his younger siblings away from the uncle's house, and they went to the entrance of the village to take the earliest bus.

Fortunately, they were very lucky. After waiting for a while, the bus came. There were fewer people on the early bus, and the time spent was 10 to [-] minutes shorter than when it came.

After arriving at the county seat, Ke Xiaohang and the others found a breakfast stand and bought some breakfast.

The price in the town is much cheaper than the place where they rented a house at that time.

Youtiao buns are only [-] cents, and there are one or two pieces of fried meat patties. The meat filling is thin and the skin is thin, and the taste is not bad.There are also fried pea cakes, amaranth cakes, radish cakes for [-] cents, and spring rolls, fried dumplings, pot stickers and bean skins, which are very cheap.

Soup noodles, soup noodles, and hot dry noodles are quite a lot for one yuan and five servings. When Ke Xiaohang paid, he wondered whether the place was still making money.

Immediately, there is a feeling of value-added money. You can buy many kinds of products without duplicate samples for 100 yuan, which is simply too cost-effective.

As for the sigh, Ke Xiaohang thinks about their economy and the living standard of the local residents, and thinks about it.

Accustomed to the convenient and fast living environment, few people can bear to come to a remote and outdated place after all.

After breakfast, Ke Xiaohang walked around the town, and when he got down, he found that the town was a little behind what he had imagined.

I stopped the car and took a taxi directly to the county seat. Luckily, I got up early and came in a hurry. After buying corresponding gifts for each family, some of them were held by Ke Xiaohang, and the other part was the space storage device in Xuanming's hands. inside.

When I went back, I packed the car directly, and the car came directly to my sister's house.

As my aunt said, my sister's house is really well run, and the house is very grand, which is considered domineering in their village.

It is in the form of a villa with a European style. In front of the door is an open space of nearly [-] square meters, surrounded by wooden fences. Many flowers and trees are planted inside. Most of the flower beds are planted with vegetables, which are well handled.

Not only that, but there is also a children's playground in the yard, where you can see colorful slides, trampolines, carousels, bumper cars, swings and so on.

"It seems that her family is really rich." Ke Xiaomin glanced at it a few times, with a cool tone.

"It's much better than people in the city." The little girl sneered.

Ke Xiaohang patted her on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Min, if you want to play, I will find someone to make these for our yard when I go back."

Ke Xiaomin snorted in disdain.

"Who plays these things, naive (; one_one)"

"Really (////), brother, you mean what you say." Ke Xiaodong was particularly greedy. He liked these things very much. After he went to school, he saw other children climbing slides and swings at school. He was envious Extremely.

However, he was too timid, and he didn't dare to go to crowded places, and every time he stood far away and took a few sneaky glances by himself.

He was very envious.

He also wants to play like other children.

However, he dare not...

He is afraid.

Some people, many people, he dare not go.

Ke Xiaohang patted his younger brother's head, and agreed with a smile: "Okay, I'll do it when I get back, and we'll play together then."

It is not a small progress to dare to put forward your own ideas.

It seems that it is a good thing for the introverted brother to take his younger brother out for more walks.

"Okay." Ke Xiaodong was extremely happy when he got his dream wish.

At this moment, they are holding gift boxes in their hands, including milk, biscuits for children, nutrition for the elderly, and he bought a longevity lock for the three children.

After ringing the doorbell, Ke Xiaohang saw his sister running out not long after.

"Xiaohang, Xiaomin, Xiaodong, you are here! Come in quickly." Ke Wenwen is still so beautiful, she has beautiful makeup and a decent suit, which looks out of place in this village.

This villa suits her very well.

Ke Xiaohang suddenly had such a sentence in his heart.

My sister has really changed a lot.

Ke Xiaomin and Ke Xiaodong called her sister in a low voice, the former was unwilling, while the latter was ignorant.

"Sister, this is my friend. He followed me to the countryside, and I brought him here." Ke Xiaohang introduced Xuan Ming to his sister.

"Hi, excuse me." Xuan Ming said lightly.

"Hello, hello, all the guests here are guests, don't disturb them. Don't stand outside and come in." Ke Wenwen led Ke Xiaohang and the others to walk in.

Not only does Ke Wenwen's house look grand from the outside, but it is also well decorated inside. The corridor at the door is made of large tiles, which are so bright that people's faces can be seen clearly.The living room is covered with soft carpets, some oil paintings are hung on the walls, a long table is placed in the living room, and there are large and comfortable sofas on both sides.

As soon as Ke Xiaohang and the others arrived at the door, they saw three children running out of a side room, and they ran over with toys in their hands, smiling.

"Come here, Xiaoyu Xiao Susu, call someone. This is you, your uncle, this is your uncle, and this is your aunt, come and call..." Ke Wenwen pulled the child and urged.

The older child is chubby, he looks good, he looks a little taller than Ke Xiaodong, he looks very smart, his eyes are rolling, he quickly looked at Ke Xiaohang and the others.Hearing his mother's words, he shrugged his mouth, tilted his head to one side, and hummed, "I don't bark! I'm not familiar with them, and I don't know where they came from..."

Ke Wenwen's face darkened immediately, she glanced at the entrance of the back kitchen, and then her face returned to normal.

"Come on, call quickly."

After all, the two little twins are well-behaved, calling "Uncle, Auntie" in tender voices.

"Okay, you are so good. Come here, take it, I brought you a gift." Ke Xiaohang took out the gift in his hand and handed it to several children.

Ke Wenwen found out the slippers and put them on for them.

"They're so young, they don't know what a gift is, it's a waste of money. I'm very happy that you can come."

As soon as Ke Xiaohang and the others sat on the sofa, they saw a man in a wheelchair come in. The wheelchair should be electric, because he was holding a tea set in his hand.

"Xiaohang, this is your brother-in-law. He heard you coming, so he hurriedly prepared tea."

Ke Xiaohang simply said hello, and watched the other party stand up from the wheelchair after putting the tea set on the coffee table.

Both Ke Xiaohang and Ke Xiaomin were shocked.

This leg is good.

Why are you still in a wheelchair?

After the brother-in-law took two steps, Ke Xiaohang found that his brother-in-law had difficulty moving with one foot and was dragging along. He immediately realized that the other party probably had a prosthetic limb installed.

After receiving the tea from my brother-in-law, my sister went to the kitchen, and saw the mother-in-law and father-in-law who didn't show up brought fruit plate snacks and some nuts.

In fact, they met the day before yesterday.

The two old men were very polite to Ke Xiaohang and the others, and went to work in the kitchen after putting down the things.

The sister-in-law is also good, after a brief greeting, she sits aside, peels an orange for Ke Xiaomin, and an apple for Ke Xiaodong, even Ke Xiaohang and Xuanming, which makes Ke Xiaohang very flattered.

Sister Madam is really nice.

At least for now, he didn't see what his sister was doing, but his brother-in-law was busy with inconvenient legs.

Ke Xiaohang wanted to help, but was stopped by Ke Wenwen.

"He can do it, don't look at him sometimes needing to use a wheelchair, he is better than many people." My sister suddenly smiled and whispered, "Your brother-in-law, he doesn't like others to look at him strangely, he has a lot of self-esteem. .”

"However, he did a good job. I didn't stop him from doing what he usually does. You can see later, he can also cook, which tastes better than mine."

As Ke Wenwen said, she saw her brother-in-law repairing toys for the child. This one was fixed, but the other bicycle was broken.

Not to mention, he is even more powerful than ordinary people.

Ke Xiaomin didn't like Ke Wenwen at first, and was even hostile to her, but now she admired her silently in her heart.

She could see that the child who had just entered the door probably felt hostile towards them after hearing what their grandparents said.Children are the most aware of what children are thinking, and Ke Xiaomin will not foolishly think that this is Ke Wenwen's trick. When she enters the door, she bends down to find slippers and put them on. Ke Xiaomin thinks it is impossible.

It is very likely that the adults instigated it, but the elder sister entered the kitchen for a while, the two old men were polite to her, and the children's attitude towards them also changed. Her brother-in-law is also comprehensive. Where did she come from? How about getting the whole family to listen to her?

Ke Xiaomin was a little curious.
