Chapter 61

Since the news about Zhou Mei'e and Li Dashan spread in Jinsha Village and Yuanjia Village, Li Dashan asked Li Zheng to make the decision to marry Zhou Mei'e. Zhou Mei'e was unwilling to do so, but the matter between her and Li Dashan was already in the village. The rumors spread outside the village, and everyone knew that except Li Dashan, no one would marry her. In desperation, Zhou Mei'e had no choice but to commit herself to marry Li Dashan.

When Zhou Mei'e and Li Dashan got married, there were still many people watching the excitement. By accident, they picked up a beautiful woman as a wife. They planned to marry Zhou Mei'e to Lao Zhu's family, but they never expected that they would end up like this after all the tricks.

Any topic has its time. When the first spring rain came, the villagers gradually forgot about the romantic affair between Zhou Mei'e and Li Dashan, and they began to get busy with spring planting.

A farmer's year is nothing more than planting in spring, hoeing in summer, harvesting in autumn, and hiding in winter. Every year, they do the same thing, but they experience different stories.

As the so-called plan for a year lies in spring, when spring comes, the old Zhu's family also starts to get busy, taking care of the land at home and the shops in the town at the same time, everyone is very busy at the same time.

Jinsha Village is all dry land. When planting seeds, young and old from every household carry loads and transport manure to their own fields. After the manure is fully retting, it is sprinkled on the field, and then the field is plowed again. to increase the fertility of the land.

Because of the nourishment of Zhuyan spring water, the old Zhu’s land is many times more fertile than other lands that have been covered with several layers of manure, so the old Zhu’s manure was applied to their own land, and the remaining manure was put on the next door. I wish the second child the ground before.

After busying with the spring planting, Zhu Yan put his efforts on his own bean products. The bean curd sticks are easy to store, tender and refreshing, and have won everyone’s love. Even the thousand sheets or dried tofu that Zhu Yan developed later , nor can it replace everyone's love for yuba.

So Zhu Yan combined the characteristics of yuba and the production method, and made a new dish of fried bean curd. The shape of the newly researched fried bean curd is very different from that of yuba. It is a sheet made of soy milk skin. Although the two are also made of dried soy milk skin, there is a slight difference in taste due to the different shape. Especially strong.

On this day, Zhu Yan cut the dried soybean skin into several squares, foamed it with water to soften it, then squeezed the minced meat into long strips, placed it in the middle of the soybean skin, put the oily One corner of the bean curd is folded up, and the two corners in the horizontal direction are also folded up in half, and the last corner is smeared with dry starch, because the oily bean curd is moist, and the starch acts as a seal.

Then, close the mouth and put it in the pan for frying. Fry the oily bean curd meat on both sides until golden, season with the pre-mixed soup, put it on a plate and let it stand for a while, until the oily bean curd meat is delicious , Put it in a pot and steam it over high heat.

Although it is early spring, it is still quite cold and chilly. Eating delicious fried bean curd meat at this time can be called the ultimate enjoyment in spring.

The oily bean curd is wrapped with mellow and delicious meat stuffing, as well as the crisp and refreshing wild fern and shepherd's purse. People can't stop eating it.

Since the oily bean curd meat roll was served on the table, everyone in Laozhu's family was quiet. They had no time to talk at all. Everyone was immersed in the fresh taste of the oily bean curd meat roll.

"Ah Yan, this dish of fried bean curd meat is really delicious. The taste of this stuffed meat is more chewy than the meat stuffed with dough, and the bean flavor is very strong. Let's eat it tomorrow Just put this dish on the menu." The old lady Zhu saw that there was not much oily bean curd meat on the plate, so she stuffed all of them into Yuan Xiao's bowl with one chopstick.

Recently, Yuan Xiao's appetite is not as good as it was at the beginning. He eats less every day and still works with the family. Even if she stops her again, Yuan Xiao will be as stubborn as a donkey and will not be idle at all. This makes the old lady Zhu very worried. Now, seeing Yuan Xiao getting interested in the fried bean curd meat, she simply let Yuan Xiao eat as much as he could.

Of course, everyone in the family knew about Yuan Xiao's situation, so when the old lady wished her to be upright and eccentric, no one complained, because they all knew in their hearts that no matter how delicious the food was, they couldn't be with a healthy person. My brother grabs food.

"Yuan Xiao, eat it. I'll make some more tonight, so everyone can eat it." Zhu Yan saw Yuan Xiao drooling while looking at the food in the bowl, so he urged Yuan Xiao to eat as soon as possible.

After Yuan Xiao got Zhu Yan's approval, he lowered his head and ate quietly.

After lunch, Zhu Yan taught Bai Zhen, who is often in charge of cooking and has excellent cooking skills, how to make fried bean curd meat. shop wall.

"Little boss, what kind of fresh food is this oily bean curd meat? Just looking at the name, I want to eat it." Uncle Yang, who often visits Lao Zhu's Bean Food Shop, is an old blacksmith in the blacksmith shop next door, and he is the only one at home. People, so when the blacksmith's shop is not in business, I always come to sit and chat with Lao Zhu's family, and settle three meals a day by the way.

Seeing that Uncle Yang opened his mouth, holding a pot of hot tea, Zhu Yan explained with a smile: "Uncle Yang's oily bean curd meat was made by the junior himself this morning. It’s made, it’s tender and juicy after a bite, and the aftertaste is endless, Uncle Yang, do you want to try it? It’s ten cents a plate.”

As a veteran diner of Lao Zhu's Bean Food Shop, Uncle Yang has great confidence in Lao Zhu's food, and now he can't bear to smack his mouth when he hears Zhu Yan's description, he drank After a cup of hot tea, he said boldly to Zhu Yan, "Then let us men have a taste!"

"Okay! If it doesn't taste good, hit me." Zhu Yan said a joke to Uncle Yang, then turned around and shouted to the aunt in the kitchen: "Auntie, get some fried bean curd meat!"

Bai Zhen, who had been waiting for diners to order in the kitchen, immediately responded when she heard Zhu Yan's yelling, and brought up the freshly cooked fried bean curd meat.

As the fried bean curd meat was served on the dining table, it attracted many diners who were interested in it, and even diners who hadn’t seen outside sat directly beside Uncle Yang, waiting for Uncle Yang to try it.

When Uncle Yang saw everyone gathered around him, he suddenly felt that he had a heavy responsibility. He sniffed, smelling the intoxicating aroma of meat and beans on the table, looked at the people around him, and couldn't bear it any longer. As if holding back, he picked up a piece of fried bean curd meat with his chopsticks, bit it down, then nodded to everyone with flickering eyes, and ate all the remaining fried bean curd meat. And everyone said: "It's delicious! I want another plate."

With Uncle Yang's on-site food tasting, other diners couldn't control their gluttonous stomachs one after another, vying to buy something, and Lao Zhu's family also started to keep busy, and they kept busy until the store closed at night.

At night, Zhu Yan helped Yuan Xiao change clothes in the inner room. After changing the clothes, Yuan Xiao lay down on the heated kang that had been laid, looked at Zhu Yan eagerly, and when Zhu Yan sat on the heated kang, he suddenly asked: "Ah Yan, since we moved here, Uncle Yang seems to be alone all the time."

"Yeah." Zhu Yan pondered for a moment, then continued to explain, "I heard from grandma that Uncle Yang's wife passed away when he was young, and he took care of his son alone."

"Uncle Yang has a son?" Yuan Xiao turned over and put his chin on Zhu Yan's arm when Zhu Yan was lying down.

Zhu Yan touched Yuan Xiao's cheek, and then said lightly: "Yes, but it seems that he lives in other places, and he is rarely seen."

"Oh." Yuan Xiao listened to Zhu Yan rambling in his ears, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier. When he wanted to close his eyes and take a nap, he felt as if something had kicked him in the stomach. Feet, couldn't help exclaiming, "Oh!"

This exclamation revived Zhu Yan who was about to go to sleep, Zhu Yan got up and hugged Yuan Xiao, his eyes scanned Yuan Xiao, and seeing that Yuan Xiao was fine, he asked eagerly just now: "Yuan Xiao, what's wrong with you?"

Yuan Xiao realized that he seemed to have frightened Zhu Yan, he exhaled steadily, covered his stomach and shook his head with a smile at Zhu Yan, "I don't feel uncomfortable, but I was taken aback."

"Huh?" Zhu Yan looked at Yuan Xiao's face with a happy smile in confusion, and then asked, "What scares you."

Yuan Xiao didn't answer Zhu Yan immediately, but grabbed Zhu Yan's hand, put it on his stomach, and said softly, "The baby in my stomach can move!"

"Really?" After Zhu Yan finished speaking, he began to touch Yuan Xiao's stomach with his hands. It didn't take long before he felt his palm covering Yuan Xiao's stomach was kicked. The strength came, and he was moved and pleasantly surprised and said to Yuan Xiao: "He is really moving, and this strength is quite strong."

"Well, but I'm a little curious, why are sometimes two positions kicked at the same time?" Yuan Xiao nestled in Zhu Yan's arms, looking up at Zhu Yan suspiciously.

Just after Yuan Xiao finished speaking, Zhu Yan also felt the situation Yuan Xiao described, he frowned and thought about it, and then said to Yuan Xiao: "Maybe our little baby is too lively, and his hands and feet are very vigorous. Kind of."

Yuan Xiao nodded suspiciously, and then said with a relieved smile: "Hehe, this shows that our baby is strong and energetic, and he must be a lively and good child after birth."

"Yeah!" Zhu Yan stretched out his hand to gently rub Yuan Xiao's stomach with his mouth raised, and kept saying, "Little baby, if you can hear me, kick your father, let's have a good talk." say."

The child in Yuan Xiao's stomach seemed to understand Zhu Yan's words. Following Zhu Yan's words, he kicked Yuan Xiao's stomach for a while, and Yuan Xiao stared at Zhu Yan's silly and happy smiling face, and laughed silly himself. At the same time, thinking of what Zhu Yan called the baby just now, he wondered: "Ah Yan, why do you call the baby a little baby?"

Zhu Yan was stunned for a moment, with a gentle smile on Jun's face, "Because it means baby."

"Oh." Yuan Xiao pondered for a moment, turned around and hugged Zhu Yan, and asked very concerned about the name of the baby: "The baby is a baby, so what am I?"

This slightly childish question made Zhu Yan smile softly. He hugged Yuan Xiao and let Yuan Xiao sit on him. The two looked at each other. Zhu Yan looked into Yuan Xiao's clear eyes and explained softly: "You My big baby is my dearest baby."

"Really?" Yuan Xiao was delighted because of Zhu Yan's words. He put his arms around Zhu Yan's neck, rubbed his cheek against Zhu Yan's cheek, giggled several times, and then said again: "Ah Yan is also me. big baby."

Zhu Yan looked at Yuan Xiao's smiling eyebrows and eyes, and the smile on his face became stronger and stronger. He hugged Yuan Xiao's waist tightly, kissed Yuan Xiao's lips, and gave up with one kiss. He touched the tip of Yuan Xiao's nose. With their noses pointed, the two looked at each other and smiled, falling into infinite sweetness.

It's just that Zhu Yan and Yuan Xiao didn't know that in Yuanjia Village not far away, a family was suffering an unprecedented disaster.
