Chapter 53: Sweet and sour pork ribs

Under the temptation of Niu Dashi, Chen Xu couldn't help but pick up a piece with chopsticks and throw it into his mouth, but he didn't expect the entrance to be crisp and smooth, with a natural fragrance in the slight acidity, just like Niu Dashi said, very sour and appetizing.

Seeing the two of them eating vinegar yam around the stove, Yu Wuya, who was sitting at the door, couldn't help it, smelling this smell, he felt that he was going to faint from hunger, so he slowly stood up and walked to Chen Xu's side according to the wound.

"Give me a bite!"

Chen Xu glanced back at Yu Wuya, handed over the vegetable bowl in his hand and said, "You guys eat, I'll cook the lean meat and prepare to eat!" ”

But when he cut the lean meat and put it in the jar to boil, and then put in the wild onion and garlic seedlings to eat a few more pieces of vinegared yam, he found that Yu Wuya and Niu Dashi were competing for the last few pieces.

I saw Yu Wuya pinching a pair of chopsticks and shooting like electricity, throwing one piece into his mouth, one clip and two pieces into his mouth, although Niu Dashi used his hands, he still couldn't grab it, and he kept shouting angrily.

"Delicious in the world, delicious!" As Yu Wuya threw the last piece of yam into his mouth, he pinched his chopsticks and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

Chen Xu: ......

After lunch, Yu Wuya went into the room to meditate and eat as usual.

Chen Xu and Niu Dashi then made two windows.

"When are we going to have dinner?"

Just when Chen Xu was sweating profusely to make the second window, Yu Wuya didn't know when he would appear behind him again, wearing black clothes like a ghost and silently, if it wasn't for the bright sun in the daytime, Chen Xu would probably have chopped it with an axe.

"Yu Wuya, can you walk with a little movement, this is very dangerous, do you know?" Chen Xu put it on the axe speechlessly, looked up at the sun, and at this time it was estimated that it was less than three o'clock in the afternoon, at least three hours before the sun went down, and it was only more than two hours after lunch, but I didn't expect this product to be hungry again.

"Silence can lead to a head start, and when there is a sound of walking, others will not notice it?" Yu Wuya frowned and said.

Chen Xu didn't bother to tell him, pouted and said that he had gone to drink the medicine by himself, and he had to wait for his family to come back for dinner.

Yu Wuya also felt that it was indeed too early, so he had to turn around and drink the medicine, and then he stopped meditating, and sat on the steps in front of the door to watch the two of them make the window.

But just half an hour later, Yu Wuya appeared behind Chen Xu like a ghost.

"When are we going to have dinner?"

Chen Xu was so frightened that he almost hit his leg with an axe, and stared at Yu Wuya for half a minute.

"I ...... I'll go drink the medicine again! Yu Wuya turned around and left this time without waiting for Chen Xu to speak.

When Yu Wuya appeared behind Chen Xu silently again, Chen Xu couldn't help it, he threw the axe on the ground with a long sigh and said: "Will you die if you don't eat, the rice bucket is not like you, if you eat like this, our family will starve to death!" ”

"Don't worry, I said that I would repay you tenfold, how about fifty dollars for a meal, I will pay you tenfold!"

"Okay, where's the money?" Chen Xu stretched out his hand and said.

"Not yet!"

"Didn't say a ball!" Chen Xu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Brother Xu, the time is almost up, I guess Xing'er and my aunt are coming back soon, I'll go back and have a look first, and call me for dinner later!" Niu Dashi put down the saw and wiped his sweat and said.

"Okay, I'll bring Xiaochun and your mother over for dinner later!" Chen Xu looked at the sky, it was almost half past four in the afternoon.

"By the way, what do you want to eat at night, boiled fish or minced meat?"

"Vinegared yam!" Niu Dashi and Yu Wuya said in unison.

……

"Brother, come and see, we've picked up a lot of mushrooms!"

Just when Chen Xu was cooking dinner, Chen Jiang and Xing'er each came back from the mountain with a basket, and the little girl beckoned desperately from afar.

Looking at the two of them in rags, their hair was sweaty and sticky to their faces, and their bodies were covered with thorns and grass blades, Chen Xu couldn't help but feel a slight pain in his heart, but he showed a surprised smile on his face, looked at the two baskets of mushrooms and couldn't help but praise and said: "Apricot is so amazing, I actually picked up so many mushrooms, can we eat mushroom meat slices at night?" ”

"Okay, okay, my favorite food is my brother's cooking!" The little girl clapped her hands happily.

Because I found that green apricots can be used as vinegar, so there can be several more dishes at once, so after Chen Xu was busy, the sun was about to set, but as the strong fragrance continued to spread, several dishes had been put in the pot one after another and placed on a window made in the afternoon.

The first dish: cold salad folded ear root, this is a very common cold dish in later generations, folded ear root ditch side everywhere, after washing the tender white roots, the wild onion garlic is fried with hot lard and then poured on, put some salt and green apricot sauce, although there is no chili, but it is still a sour and delicious side dish, both delicious and clear heat and relieve heat.

The second dish: vinegared yam, the steps are the same as at noon, and the taste is no different, but under Niu Dashimei's explanation, Xing'er has already been drooling, holding a vegetable bowl and standing next to Yang Xu as an assistant, the purpose is just to taste it in advance.

Watching the little girl eating vinegared yam with a vegetable bowl, Chen Xu began to cook the third dish: sweet and sour pork ribs.

Wild boar ribs that have been marinated for many days, with honey and green apricot sauce, are simmered in a clay pot over low heat for a full hour, and the moment the lid is lifted, a rich and sweet smell of meat permeates the air, and the apricot, who is tasting the fifth, six, seven, and eight pieces of vinegared yam, suddenly puts down the yam and turns his head to stare at the crockpot.

Yu Wuya's eyes widened, and his handsome face was full of disbelief.

Chen Jiang, who was cleaning up the mushrooms, couldn't help but look up at the crockpot in his son's hand.

This strong aroma, full of all kinds of extreme temptations that people have in food, instantly conquers everyone.

The ribs were scooped out with a wooden spoon and placed in a large bowl, the ribs had already been stewed and cooked, and the golden grease dripped down with Chen Xu's movements, and the richer fragrance drifted away with the wind.

"Wow, it's so fragrant, wait for me, wait for me!" Under the temptation of strong fragrance, Niu Dashi rushed over with Niu Xiaochun in his arms.

The little girl finally couldn't help it, "Brother, I want to eat!" ”

"Here, I'll give you one first, be careful not to burn!" For this sister, Chen Xu loves it very much, she is hardworking, sensible and well-behaved, which just fills the huge regret that he has no brothers and sisters before, so he only has deep love for Xing'er.

"Goodong~"

Watching Chen Xu put a big pork rib in the pottery bowl in front of the girl, Yu Wuya, who had been standing next to him, swallowed a big mouthful of saliva.

Chen Xu pretended not to hear, for this foodie who was picked up, in addition to being poor, he was also very thick-skinned, and he started eating without saying hello every time, but it seemed that the little girl and Chen Jiang were also there, so he was embarrassed to rob him.
