Chapter 292 Let me taste it!

"Is it delicious? Let me try it!" Father Su stood up and moved the braised beef that was originally placed in front of Su Yuchen to another position in front of Third Grandma. When he took the beef away, he took a long-planned look at it and stared at the red chili oil in front of Su Yuchen, ready to take something.

"Third Aunt, eat beef. Beef is delicious! It's different from the braising soup we used before. Try it! It's cut thinly so you can chew it." Father Su strongly recommended beef to Third Aunt while signaling Su Yuchen with his eyes.

When Su's father was cooking dumplings, he saw the two people taking chili oil from the car, and then fiddling with it in the kitchen for a long time. He also heard them say that Zhao Xiaojing had specially bought chili peppers in Yangcheng and poured them on it.

He was very greedy at that time. Although Su Yuchen had said before that his classmate opened a restaurant and the food was delicious, he and Su's mother did not believe it.

But the marinade that Su Yuchen brought back was so delicious that he ate braised dishes for every meal. But Su Yuchen said that braised dishes were only a small part of her classmates' stir-fried dishes and not the most outstanding ones?

Seeing Su Yuchen eating braised meat so calmly these past two days, but this time he ate chili oil so fiercely, how delicious must this chili oil be?

Su Yuchen looked up at his father, rolled his eyes, poured half a plate of red chili oil onto the dumplings in front of him, and then handed the plate over.

Father Su took it with anticipation, immediately stretched out his arm to pick up a large chopstick of braised beef, rolled it several times in the red oil and chili, and then stuffed it into his mouth.

!!!

The moment the beef entered his mouth, Su's father's expression, which was originally full of expectation, immediately became ferocious, and tears filled his eyes in an instant. The subtle wrinkles on his face deepened several points due to the grinning action, and became messy as Su's father chewed quickly.

Su Yuchen calmly took out a few pieces of paper and stuffed them into Su's father's hand. He sneered and lowered his head to continue eating dumplings.

Father Su took the paper and, while Zhao Xiaojing stared in amazement, he wiped his tears while chewing and swallowing rapidly. Then, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with the tear tissue. He picked up a piece of braised pork belly, rolled it in the red chili oil, stuffed it into his mouth, and slurped it. He wiped his tears twice, picked up a piece of potato, and rolled it in the red chili oil. He stuffed it into his mouth and slurped it.

"So delicious? Let me try it!" Mother Su couldn't help herself when she saw Father Su crying and sweating but couldn't stop dipping the food in chili oil.

Zhao Xiaojing: …

Isn't it said that the dishes at Shuzi's house are all light? Could it be that something went wrong with her taste when she was cooking chili? It's making her doubt herself a little bit, and she's also craving it. What's going on???

Five minutes later...

Su Yuchen quickly ran back to the main room from the kitchen, placed three plates in front of him, held the jar of chili oil, scooped a few large spoonfuls of chili oil into each plate with a clean spoon, and then placed a plate in front of Su's father, himself, and Zhao Xiaojing.

Afterwards, there were five people at the table. Four of them had a plate of red chili oil in front of them. They all ate with a sizzling sound. Only the third grandmother, who was over eighty years old, had a bland meal. She ate the braised beef that Father Su had specially placed in front of her, and handed paper towels to the four people from time to time.

…

Zhao Xiaojing had a very sound nap. As soon as she opened her eyes, Su Yuchen pulled her out of bed again. Taking the motorcycle keys he had taken from Su's father's room, he took Zhao Xiaojing and rode all the way to the mountain in the village.

The mountains in the village are very flat, neither big nor steep. Zhao Xiaojing followed Su Yuchen to see the second grandfather's grave, the stream that was comparable to a spring, the small fish and shrimps in the stream, and picked up a lot of beautiful stones by the stream before returning home with a sense of unsatisfied feeling.

Dinner was still dumplings. The four people who ate their dishes with chili oil at noon were very powerful. The only dish left on the table was the braised pork with preserved vegetables, which was the least suitable for dipping in chili. In the evening, Su's mother heated up the braised pork, stir-fried some spinach, cut a plate of pig ears, and added the cured fish and stew platter from the morning to make another meal.

Third Grandma ate too much at noon and said that they had to eat dinner on an empty stomach to avoid indigestion. The four of them continued to pour red chili oil and mixed vegetables and ate them very contentedly. Originally, Zhao Xiaojing estimated that the red chili oil would be enough for Su Yuchen to eat for half a month, but half of the bottle was already empty on the first day.

The night seemed to come especially early in the village. It was already completely dark when they started cooking dinner. Intermittent sounds of firecrackers began to be heard outside. The noise outside did not diminish but increased until the four of them finished dinner. Su Yuchen put down his bowl and pulled Zhao Xiaojing out the door.

The two ran all the way to the village entrance. Su Yuchen greeted the uncle in the small supermarket as if he was familiar with the place, then led Zhao Xiaojing in and turned left, "Look, what kind do you want to put? This one is definitely one, it's beautiful! This one too, it will spin in circles and spiral up to the sky! Hey, this one, this one crackles and is the loudest!" Before Zhao Xiaojing could say anything, she had already selected seven or eight kinds and put them in the black bag opened by the boss who followed behind.

Zhao Xiaojing's eyes sparkled as she looked at the various colorful firecrackers in front of her. After a long while of choosing, she finally waved her hand and said, "Boss, give me one of each! Isn't this the biggest one the most expensive? Over 800 yuan? Then give me two!"

The fireworks sold in the village are all mid-to-low-end, and none of them are particularly priced high. Even the most expensive fireworks, which cost more than 800 yuan, only sound expensive at first glance. Compared with the special effects fireworks in the fireworks shows that cost hundreds of millions or even tens of millions, they are just relatively ordinary peacocks spreading their tails. However, for Zhao Xiaojing, whose last time she set off fireworks was when she was five or six years old, it was already a great pleasure.

Su Yuchen chuckled, didn't say much, and finally paid the bill despite Zhao Xiaojing's refusal.

Various fireworks were packed into six large bags, and the two men carried three bags each to the square. The square was full of fireworks being set off and children running around shouting excitedly. Seeing that the two men had so many things in their hands, they shouted and called their friends. Soon, a long line of people followed them.

"One for each of us, and let's set them off together." The bag was placed on the ground. Zhao Xiaojing first took out the two most expensive boxes of fireworks, clapped her hands quickly, and she and Su Yuchen each carried one and ran to a place relatively far away from the crowd to light them.

"Wow! So beautiful!"

"Ah! Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful!"

“Waaaaaah!”

Two "peacocks spreading their tails" soared into the sky, rising to the air that had been dyed a light blue by the smoke. There was a light bang, and then one after another, colorful tails burst out and exploded in all directions. A group of children surrounded Zhao Xiaojing and Su Yuchen, clapping their hands, jumping and screaming.

Zhao Xiaojing laughed happily, took out her phone and recorded a video of the children, fireworks, the village, and their fireworks stockpile one by one, then opened the group chat and posted it to the store's nine-person chat group.

The chat group was created by Lü Hongwen, and the name of the group was unsurprisingly childish: "Our goal - to become bigger and stronger!"
