"Brother Lu, I want more!" Jiang Yan couldn't stop eating, and Lu Xiao continued to feed her, feeling quite a sense of accomplishment.

Lu Li, who was in the kitchen, was sweating all over as the fire was burning at 30 degrees Celsius. Shengli, who was standing beside him, was fanning him with a palm-leaf fan.

Lu Li gave him an appreciative look, Shengli curled his lips. If he wasn't afraid that Lu Li would eat the chicken butt, would he come to guard it?

Jiang Yan had almost finished eating, and was afraid that Lu Li didn't know how to use the seasoning, so she explained to him one by one how to use it.

Lu Li was amazed when he heard this. People in big cities really know how to eat and they are so particular about it.

Lu Li chopped the onions, ginger and garlic that Zhang Yulan and the others had washed, and cut the green and red peppers into sections.

Throw some onions, ginger and garlic into the chicken bowl, add salt, pepper, and what Jiang Yan said is the cooking wine to remove the fishy smell, stir well, and let it marinate for a few minutes.

He took some time to run next door to eat a melon, and came back just in time to take the chicken out of the bowl.

Start heating up the oil in a pan, pour in a large bowl full of pheasant, remove some of the firewood, and slowly stir-fry over medium heat to release the chicken oil.

After the pheasant is fried dry, take it out and pour in rapeseed oil. After it is boiling, add onions, ginger, garlic slices, and green peppercorns. He stirs with a spoon, pours the stir-fried pheasant into the pot, adds green and red peppers, and waits until the aroma comes out. Then he adds appropriate amount of light soy sauce, salt, and MSG, and continues to stir-fry and toss the pan.

The spicy and fresh aroma of the green pepper chicken hotpot rushed straight into everyone's nose, and everyone kept looking towards the kitchen.

Chen Min brought in the washed chicken mushrooms, milk mushrooms, chanterelles and porcini.

Lu Li added an appropriate amount of water into the pot, waited for the water to boil, then poured in different types of mushrooms, making sure they were cooked thoroughly to avoid poisoning from the wild mushrooms.

Zhang Yulan gave the washed steamer (a wooden barrel for steaming rice) to Chen Min, and Chen Min scooped the uncooked rice from the iron can into the steamer.

Wait for the water in the small iron pot to boil, then put the steamer in.

In the rural areas of the southwest, people cook rice in iron pots and steamers. The steamed rice retains the fragrance of rice and one pot can make several large bowls of it, which is incomparable to electric rice cookers.

The aroma of the green pepper chicken and wild mushroom hotpot in the kitchen is so overbearing that it makes the sweet potato rice and corn rice in the bowls of the neighbors look less fragrant.

I sniffed hard, wishing to keep the fragrance.

"What did the Lu family make? It smells so good! I think I can smell meat?"

"You heard it right. That spendthrift Zhang Yulan must have killed the chickens at home to save face. Didn't her nephew find an educated youth from the city? Bah, he's not afraid of getting pregnant with a bastard. Only she would like him!"

"He usually relies on his position as the team leader to boss us around a lot, and treats that educated youth like a guard dog."

The aunt who spoke in a sour tone simply had nothing to eat, and looked in the direction of Lu Jiandang's house with green eyes.

Once the smell spread to most of the village, those who were carrying hoes and sickles were drooling with hunger.

"Whose fried meat is this? It smells so good!"

"Who else could it be? The Lu family! Haven't you heard that Lu Xiao took his girlfriend to pick mushrooms today, and all the baskets were burst.

Oh, what kind of luck is this? I will just follow him and pick up the bargains from now on!"

"Lu Li is good at cooking mushrooms. The Lu family has to take the blame!"

Everyone wiped the saliva from their mouths and was so envious that they went home to see the vegetarian melon, beans and wild vegetable porridge cooked in the pot.

Just because of the aroma, I ate two more bowls.

The thin-skinned ones are just murmuring at home, while the shameless ones have already come to the door with their bowls in hand.

Zhang Yulan hadn't even sat down yet when she heard someone knocking on the wooden door outside the yard.

Fang Cui and Chen Min looked at each other and their faces turned dark.

What's going on? It's already dinner time! And you're still here! No one has enough food, and almost no one visits during dinner time. This is an unspoken habit.

What's the matter? You've lost your dignity after smelling meat today?

Zhang Yulan said with a fake smile: "Yanyan, please sit down. I'll go out and see who it is. It's almost time for dinner, and there's no peace and quiet?"

She glared at Lu Jiandang, who was smoking a cigarette, and looked a little confused.

What? He's a man, and his breathing is wrong!

He still stood up and followed her out to support Zhang Yulan.

"Sister Yulan, are you home? Don't close the door. Open it for me. I have something good to tell you!"

The noisy voice outside made Zhang Yulan look even worse. Obviously, she knew who it was. She shouted impatiently, "Here they come, calling for souls!"

She opened the wooden bolt on the courtyard door and saw Lu Pandi holding a bowl. She asked, "Sister, what's the matter? We have guests at home! It's not convenient to entertain you. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it another day!"

Zhang Yulan was already cursing in her heart, and Lu Pandi tilted her head to look inside.

She pushed Zhang Yulan aside with her buttocks, her face full of wrinkles from smiling: "Who are you greeting? You are not a stranger. This is tofu made by my family. I'm bringing the bowl to you. What do you make at home? It smells so good! Can you give me a bowl?"

Not to mention the people from the Lu family, even those passing by were filled with disbelief.

No way, no way? A bowl of tofu for a bowl of meat, the abacus beads are jumping on the other person's face.

It’s fine if she’s asking for money, but she wants a bowl? How shameless! Does she know how expensive meat is? She even needs a ticket!

Lu Pandi held her son's hand. The dark and strong boy smelled the meat and started to act like a spoiled brat, "Mom, I want to eat meat. I don't care. Give me meat, or I won't leave!"

He had a shrill voice, and he rolled on the ground covered in dust. His face was covered in snot, and it was disgusting to look at.

The family didn't care and coaxed him: "My dear child, how can I afford it? My aunt has it, ask her for it. I think Yaya won't eat it. Give it to my son, what will he eat? He will be raised by someone else in the future."

This really hit Chen Min's nerves. What came out of her stomach, and her man hasn't said anything yet!

Who does she think she is to give orders?

"Aunt San, you are a woman yourself, and you are not ashamed to say this! What? You look down on us working women! The leaders said that women can hold up half the sky, and literacy has left you behind?"

Meat is very precious in everyone's house. If she eats a bite, there will be one less bite in the pot. Fang Cui is consistent with this.

"Yaya is our own after all! He has nothing to do with my family. Even if we want to break the pot, don't we have no son?"

Seeing the two of them singing the same tune, Lu Pandi became so angry that her face turned red, and she started to act like an elder.

"You...how do you talk to your elders? It's not your turn to make the decision in this family. Zhang Yulan, why are you so stingy? It's just a bowl of meat. I'm not asking for it for free. I'm giving you a bowl of tofu! They all belong to our neighbors! You are so petty!"

Jiang Yan hates people who want both. I can give it to you, but you can't take it.

She said coldly, "Why should I give it to you? Because your face is bigger than your butt? You want a bowl? You can't even say that. Aren't you just a poor relative who likes to take advantage of others? Why don't you lend me some money? I'm not going to pay you back!"
