Chapter 026 Wen Family BBQ
On the wedding night, passionate men and women, if they can hold back, then stop being human and be turtles.
Wen Jiajia just felt her body was burning, as if she had turned into a volcano that was about to erupt, yet she was being suppressed.
The winter night was quiet, and the wooden house had no sound insulation, so the young couple didn't dare to make too much noise.
One round... Wei Dai, who was doing this for the first time, was not very good at it. He started the second round with a dark face without saying a word.
Wen Jiajia was still in the mood to comfort him at this time. After all, Wei Dai was not the male protagonist of a porn novel. Seven times a night only appeared in novels. No one in reality could be so gifted.
But gradually, she lost the mood.
After three rounds, Wen Jiajia couldn't take it anymore and pushed Wei Dai away: "I can't take it anymore. I need to take a breath."
She nearly suffocated, she felt like she was burning up, and she was too tired to move.
They were very happy, and after being happy, they both lay flat on their backs, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.
"Pour me a glass of water." Wen Jiajia moved him.
Wei Dai sat up with his hands propped up, his arm muscles bulging. Wen Jiajia could see it clearly in the dim candlelight.
The water in the bucket beside the bed was icy cold. Wei Dai picked it up and put it at the door, then went to pour some water onto the table by the window.
The water in the thermos, still warm, flowed down her throat into her stomach, like clear water flowing through long-dried land, and she came back to life.
Wen Jiajia kicked the quilt and leaned on the pillow, "I still want to eat persimmons." She saw today that the Wei family still had persimmons.
Wei Dai gulped down a large glass of water and lovingly brushed the wet hair off her forehead: "Okay, wait, I'll get you some persimmons!" At this moment, even if Wen Jiajia said she wanted to eat apples, pears, chicken, duck or pig's trotters, he would help her find them.
Wen Jiajia: "Be quiet!"
"Don't worry. If I could be caught stealing a persimmon, I'd better retire from the army as soon as possible." Wei Dai put on his clothes and said with a smile.
“…”
Why say such harsh words? What is stealing?
We are married, so can it be considered stealing if we eat our own food?
The door, which used to creak, made no sound under Wei Dai's hand. He opened the door and went out with the barrel in his hand.
The cold wind instantly rushed into the room, bringing a chill to the warm room, and some of the suggestive smells also disappeared in the cold air.
Wen Jiajia was naked. She quickly huddled into the quilt, twisting and turning in it, and finally got her clothes on.
Wei's parents were very thoughtful and made a brand new quilt specially for the child, which was extremely warm.
The mattress underneath was also very spacious. Wen Jiajia lifted a corner and took a look. It had three layers.
The bottom layer is a straw pad, the second layer is an old cotton pad, and the top layer looks much newer, I don’t know if it is a new cotton pad.
Wei Dai quickly returned to his room with two persimmons in his hands. The persimmons were as red as red lanterns, and they were pleasing to the eye.
"Eat it. It's too cold. You can only eat one." Wei Dai handed one to her and of course he had to eat the remaining one himself.
Wen Jiajia wrapped in a quilt, sat on the edge of the bed, lowered her head and slowly peeled a persimmon.
The persimmon was so soft that soon the orange-red juice flowed into my hands.
No need to bite, she just sucked it.
"Mmm, so sweet!"
Wen Jiajia praised it.
The persimmon flesh melted in her mouth, moistening her throat and relieving the dryness in her body.
"I want to eat another one." Wen Jiajia said pitifully. Wei Dai almost couldn't help but give her the persimmon in his hand.
"No, aren't you still taking medicine from time to time?" In the face of beauty, Wei Dai, who was fully tested, passed this test with great difficulty.
Wen Jiajia immediately raised a finger: "Then give me another bite, just one bite."
Wei Dai endured it again and again and passed it on.
He cursed himself secretly: You are a loser.
Wen Jiajia ate one bite at a time, then got up, put on her clothes and went to brush her teeth.
Wei Dai was like a wolf, rushing forward recklessly, but she had no experience, so Wen Jiajia's legs became weak and it took her a while to adjust herself before she could slowly walk out.
The Wei family's house is an old one. It is quite large, but the house is quite dilapidated.
Wei Dai's brother's house is about five or six minutes away from here. Now only Wei Dai's parents can handle it, but when they can't, they will have to pack up and live with Wei Dai's brother.
The layouts of the local houses are similar, and the Wei family's house is not much different from the Wen family's house.
Perhaps because he was richer, there were stairs on both sides of his patio. Going upstairs was a large hall with two rooms and two granaries on both sides.
It's a very average-sized house. It seems that when it was built, the two good brothers were intended to have one side each. But then Wei Dai went to join the army, and Brother Wei didn't want to live in the old house.
Wen Jiajia brought a cup, toothpaste and toothbrush and secretly went to the patio. When she was about to start brushing, she forgot that she had no water, so she tiptoed back to the room to get some water.
The main room was chilly from the wind that blew in gusts from the patio, turning her face, which was originally as red as a monkey's butt, pale. If it blew any further it would turn blue and purple.
Wen Jiajia finished brushing her teeth quickly, returned to her room, and pushed Wei Dai out to brush her teeth as well.
When he finished brushing and entered the house, he saw his newly-married wife sitting on the bed and looking at him seriously.
Wei Dai quietly touched his waist, locked the door, and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to come again?" If she could still accept it, it would not be impossible for him to do so.
Wen Jiajia rolled her eyes and patted the quilt: "Come here, I want to talk to you."
Wei Dai walked over, took off his clothes and sat on the bed.
Wen Jiajia sat face to face with him and said sternly, "Let me tell you first, Wei Dai, you must pay attention to hygiene. You must brush your teeth every morning and evening. If you eat garlic or leeks during meals, you must also brush your teeth."
Wei Dai: "I will brush it sooner or later."
Wen Jiajia opened his mouth and looked him up and down. Hmm, there were no cavities, which was not bad.
Moreover, Wei Dai's teeth are well-shaped, white and neat, so his future children will most likely not inherit rotten teeth.
"Also, you have to take a shower every day in the summer," she said.
Wei Dai: "Jia Jia, you don't know the troops well enough. In the summer, we sweat all over and can't go into the house without taking a shower."
Wen Jiajia: "You have to wash in winter... even if you don't have any training."
I originally wanted to wash it every other day, but once the bathroom is built, I can wash it every day.
Wei Dai nodded hesitantly.
Wen Jiajia was satisfied.
She doesn't want to sleep with a smelly man next to her, and she doesn't want the quilt cover that she just washed to turn yellow after just two days of sleeping.
"Okay, let's go to sleep."
Wen Jiajia pulled the quilt over her and lay down to sleep. She even kicked Wei Dai and said, "Go blow out the light."
Wei Dai went to blow out the lamp, and then fell asleep while holding his wife in his arms.
The next day.
It was late in the morning, and Wen Jiajia knew it was six o'clock in the morning from the alarm clock in Wei Dai's room.
"Dong, Dong, Dong, Dong--" the bell struck six times.
Wen Jiajia frowned, turned over and hid under the quilt, covering her ears so that only her forehead was exposed.
She was in a daze, but she knew that Wei Dai had to take the train back to the army today.
"Don't you want to get up yet?" She said in a low voice, holding Wei Dai's waist without blinking.
Wei Dai also woke up and hugged her tighter: "Lie down for a while, the train leaves at 10 o'clock."
All right! Wen Jiajia fell asleep again.
When I woke up again, it was already seven o'clock.
There was no one beside him, but there was still heat in the quilt, which showed that Wei Dai had just woken up not long ago.
"Are you awake? Come eat." Wei Dai heard some noise in the room, pushed the door open and said, "Don't you like eating hotpot? That's what we're making today."
Wen Jiajia dressed faster: "Have Chun'er and Xuanxuan gotten up yet?"
"I got up early and finished my meal. I'm playing with Wenzhu at the door now."
Wen Jiajia thought that the two children were quite easy-going. They were crying yesterday, but now they are playing again.
Surprisingly, the person cooking at home was Wei Dai's father Wei Chengcai.
Wen Jiajia came to the kitchen and called out "Dad". Wei Chengcai smiled and asked her, "Do you want some green onions?"
"eat."
Wei Chengcai lit the fire high, then poured rice paste around the wall of the pot, and then scooped the solidified rice paste into the soup in the pot.
The soup is just ordinary soup, but because it contains some meat and shrimp, it is particularly fresh and fragrant.
Wei Chengcai also fried dough sticks and served them with the batter on the edge of the pot. Wen Jiajia felt very happy after eating them.
After a while, Jianwenxuan came running in, not even looking at her aunt, and said with her head raised beside Wei Chengcai's legs: "Grandpa, I want to eat another fried dough stick. This time it's really the last one."
Wei Chengcai was not good at speaking, so he handed her a fried dough stick. She said thank you and ran away again, still without even looking at her aunt.
Wen Jiajia: “…”
He was a little brat, and he certainly didn’t even know how many times he had eaten the “last one” before.
Wei Dai was packing up, and Wen Jiajia helped him after finishing her meal.
"You will go back to Fuyang with the donkey cart later, around nine o'clock. The team will go to Jinbu Commune to deliver fish." he said.
Wen Jiajia felt reluctant to leave him: "Then how are you going to get to the county? Ride a bicycle?"
Wei Dai nodded: "Brother, come with me. He will ride back after I get on the car."
Wen Jiajia sighed and said nothing more.
Wei Dai had a lot to say but didn't know how to start, so he finally said, "I will apply for the place to accompany the army as soon as possible, within three months, really."
Wen Jiajia: "I believe you."
Wei Dai is a man with a high reputation in her eyes, and he always does what he says.
When the day was bright, Wei Dai took two bags and left home, looking back every three steps.
He left, and Wen Jiajia naturally had to leave as well.
Wei Daixu had told her parents in advance, and when Wen Jiajia left, Wei's father and mother even packed a lot of food for her to take away.
"These are meatballs. We fried them yesterday, but they weren't served." Cai Ruyun said, "It's okay to keep them for a few days in this weather. You can also take some fried pumpkin. I see Xuanxuan really likes it."
Wen Jiajia felt extremely uncomfortable and smiled awkwardly: "Xuanxuan is a greedy girl, she likes to eat everything."
She was so embarrassed to go home after eating and taking so much that she always felt she had gone too far.
She seems to be a bit too much...
The cold wind was howling. After getting on the donkey cart, Wen Jiajia thought so while holding a lot of things.
Fuyang's home was still the same as before, after all, she was only away for one day.
The only ones who were not adapting were the chickens at home, which were clucking and wanted to eat.
Wen Chun and Wen Xuan were more accustomed to staying at home, so after putting down their things, they immediately ran to play with Meihua. They wanted to talk to Meihua about the new friends they met yesterday.
Where's Wen Jiajia? She's organizing things.
She brought back half a bag of meatballs from Wei's house and poured them out and placed them on the counter.
The meatballs are made by Lao Bai. The meat with the right amount of fat and lean meat is chopped into meat paste, added with chopped carrots and water chestnuts, and fried in a pan. It is delicious even if eaten cold. Wen Jiajia guessed that spice powder was added.
She took out another bowl of braised pork, and Cai Ruyun pushed the bowl into her hand, insisting, "It's already frozen, so there's no need to worry about it spilling. Take it home and eat it together. We don't need another bowl at home."
Okay, the braised pork made by Lao Bai is really delicious.
Then there was fried pumpkin, some fried fish, some bacon, and a palm-sized piece of bacon.
Wen Jiajia looked at the full cabinet and closed it with a bang.
That’s great! I don’t have to cook for the next few days.
——
It took Wen Jiajia several days to change her mindset back to how it was before she got married.
She felt that Wei Dai was poisonous and had a great influence on her, and she always thought of him from time to time.
The matter of joining the army has not been finalized yet, and Wen Jiajia still has to go herding ducks every day.
The ducks now have little to eat every day, so the number of eggs they lay has decreased significantly. Wen Jiajia feels much more relieved.
Most duck eggs are sold outside, and only the eggs at the end of the year are distributed to the villagers.
Wen Jiajia looked at the half basket of duck eggs that her family was allocated and pondered whether she should pickle them or not.
She finally decided to pickle them. Even if she had to leave, she could take the pickled egg jar with her. After all, salted duck eggs were her favorite dish to eat with rice. One egg could go with three bowls of porridge.
It snowed again before the New Year, and the old people in the village said that it would be very hot next year.
The snow is not heavy and is melting as it falls.
Wen Jiajia even dug a stone pit in the front yard and put an iron rack on it so that she could have a barbecue while watching the snow. Who could have known that there would be such heavy snow?
But the base is already covered, so of course we have to eat the barbecue.
Yesterday was the second time the village distributed pork. Wen Jiajia got half a pound of pork belly, a pair of pig's trotters, and a pig's trotter weighing more than 4 pounds.
She cut the pork belly into thin slices and threaded them with bamboo sticks.
And the pig's trotters were the ones she had processed.
Then put the pig's trotters on the charcoal fire, burn off the hair on the trotters, scrape them vigorously with a knife, and finally put them in the pot to blanch.
The pork trotter is also braised together and is still in the pot. Wen Jiajia is going to eat it in the evening.
"What are you doing?"
Fang Mingyan, who was called over by Wen Chun and Wen Xuan, was very curious and squatted beside to watch Wen Jiajia operate.
Wen Jiajia looked up at her and said, "It's obvious that I'm grilling."
Fang Mingyan looked puzzled: "Aren't they all cooked?"
Wen Jiajia: "Just wait and eat."
There was no more work for Fang Mingyan to do, so she sat on the side and watched. She saw Wen Jiajia take out a small bamboo brush and brush the dipping sauce in the bowl onto the pig's trotters.
He then grabbed the dry dipping sauce from another bowl, rubbed it with his fingers a few times and sprinkled it.
In an instant, the fragrance hit my nose.
The rising white smoke spread the fragrance even further, and even Zhang Xiuli from next door couldn't help but come over.
"You young people are really creative." She sniffed, "It tastes a bit like the way it's done in my hometown."
The local flavors tend to be sweet and light, and even if there are spicy dishes, they are not particularly spicy. Due to time constraints, people eat less grilled and fried food, and many locals have never eaten foods that are easy to cause irritation, such as barbecue.
"Is there still a lack of chili powder?" Zhang Xiuli frowned and suddenly asked again.
Wen Jiajia covered her eyes that were irritated by the smoke and said, "Yes, auntie, it's a pity that I didn't dry the chili peppers this year."
At the end of the year, Wen Jiajia always felt that she had forgotten something, until today when she was going to eat barbecue, she remembered that she had forgotten to make the chili powder.
Wen Jiajia originally wanted to use chopped pepper instead, but unfortunately the pepper was too salty and would become inedible if it was brushed on and grilled.
Zhang Xiuli hurriedly said, "Hey, why didn't you tell me earlier? I have it!"
She comes from a province that loves spicy food, so she always has chili powder at home, and she always dips her vegetables in it.
After saying that, Zhang Xiuli hurried back to get it.
Fang Mingyan helped put the pork belly on the iron mesh and said in a low voice: "Auntie Xiuli's chili sauce is especially fragrant."
Wen Jiajia understood.
She stood up and shouted to the outside of the yard: "Auntie, bring me half a bowl of chili sauce!"
Fang Mingyan smiled secretly: "Pickled radish is not bad either. Crunchy, juicy, sour and spicy."
Wen Jiajia just sat down and then left the bench again, and continued to shout: "Auntie, there are more pickled radishes!"
Zhang Xiuli: "...Can pickled radishes be grilled?"
"It helps relieve greasy feeling."
In other words, there was no sweet potato skin, otherwise she would have roasted a few skewers of sweet potato skin to eat.
For Wen Jiajia, she can put nothing in the sweet potato skin except pickled radishes.
With such hot charcoal and such a good net, it would be a shame not to grill it.
Zhang Xiuli quickly came out with three bowls.
She is a lady who is very good at playing with young people and is quite popular in the village.
Chen Xiong also came with her.
Chen Xiong was holding a piece of meat and a small bowl of Chinese cabbage, leeks, and garlic sprouts, and he said, "Borrow a fire, let's roast them together."
Wen Jiajia: ???
She glanced at the charcoal and was relieved when she saw that it was enough to last for an hour or two.
By the way, she hadn't seen Chen Xiong for a long time. It was said that he found a temporary job in the commune some time ago and only came back when the Chinese New Year was approaching.
Chen Xiong also felt that he hadn't seen Wen Jiajia for a long time. The first time they met, Wen Jiajia was still single, but the second time they met, she already had a partner.
While I was still thinking about whether to pry open the relationship, I heard from my mother that her partner was Wei Dai from Hegou Township.
Chen Xiong wilted instantly.
Wei Dai, he can’t beat him.
Wei Dai was a prominent figure among people of his age in several nearby communes. The story of him swimming across the river alone to catch a thief was widely spread, and no one dared to mess with him.
Later, I heard that Wen Jiajia was getting married.
His mother even enthusiastically told everyone that she felt the two were a good match, and that was why she talked to Aunt Tian about it.
At this moment, Chen Xiong really wanted to curse his mother.
It’s just that he looks at people based on appearance. Although liking someone comes quickly, it is often difficult for it to turn into liking or love.
Now that Wen Jiajia is married, the slight thoughts in his mind naturally faded.
"I've brought some oil here, just help me grill it." Chen Xiong said, then said with a sad heart, "You can keep half."
Just kidding, can Wen Jiajia agree to it?
Of course, who would refuse to keep half? It was so cold, she didn't prepare the vegetables just because she didn't want to wash them, otherwise she would have prepared them.
Wen's BBQ stall officially opened.
Wen Jiajia is very skilled in her job. She first puts the half-burnt pig's trotters aside, and then puts the pork belly on the iron mesh to wet it.
The charcoal fire crackled, and the oil from the pork belly dripped into it, causing strings of flames.
Wen Jiajia tried to avoid the smoke all the time, but she didn't stop working. She started roasting the vegetables after roasting half of the pork belly.
Winter in the south is not good in many ways, but there is one really good thing - there are green vegetables to eat.
Even though it snowed today, the chives in the vegetable garden are still growing well. The cabbages are extremely tender and even sweeter because of the cold weather.
Vegetarian dishes require a lot of oil. After they are wilted, brush them with sauce and sprinkle with flour, then bake for a few more seconds and they are ready to serve.
The onlookers couldn't wait any longer. If the bamboo clip in Wen Jiajia's hand wasn't very intimidating, the two naughty girls Wen Chun and Wen Xuan would have grabbed it.
Wen Jiajia roasted the pork belly to perfect temperature. The pork belly was juicy and golden brown on the outside, but it didn’t become carbonized and bitter.
As for the greens, they were roasted with a lot of moisture, not dry at all. Even though they were smeared with red sauce, they were not greasy.
The most popular dish is roasted pig's trotters.
The pig's trotters are brined before being grilled, and the outer layer is crispy, and the spicy seasoning combines well with the fragrance of the pork skin.
When I bit the pig skin, I found white tendons inside.
Because it has been brined, not to mention the tendons, even the bones are delicious when you chew them.
The aroma of barbecue was so overbearing that not only were Zhang Xiuli and her son attracted, but even the villagers who were sitting by the fire next to the brigade headquarters could faintly smell the aroma.
"Where does this smell come from? Do you smell it?"
"Who buried sweet potatoes and chestnuts in the charcoal?"
"No, it doesn't smell like roasted sweet potatoes or roasted chestnuts. It smells like meat."
The adults did not move, but the children followed the smell all the way to the village entrance and found that the fragrance came from Wen's house.
Wen Xuan was very proud, holding a piece of roasted pig's trotter in her hand, with greasy chili sauce on her lips: "You came a little late, we have finished eating."
She is very unique when it comes to eating. Apart from sharing food with her aunt and sister, she won't give food to anyone else.
Wen Jiajia also spread her hands, it was indeed gone.
But the kid who was almost licking the net had a solution. An older kid came over and said, "Aunt Jia Jia, can you lend us your iron net?"
That's possible.
Iron mesh is indestructible.
But Wen Jiajia said: "You must use it in places where adults are present."
The child immediately said, "I'll go to the team headquarters to grill."
So a bunch of kids came in a noisy manner and left in a noisy manner.
Wen Chun and Wen Xuan followed happily, and Wen Jiajia hurriedly said, "You are not allowed to eat."
I'll have too much food if I eat too much.
She felt her stomach and realized she had some food left, so she went into the house to make some hawthorn tea.
Fang Mingyan followed him in and asked Wen Jiajia, "When are you going to the army to find Wei Dai?"
Wen Jiajia sighed: "I don't know either."
She no longer cared about work points, and went to the county town to buy a set of junior and senior high school textbooks, preparing to review them.
Why?
Wen Jiajia prepares for work. She still thinks that the best career path in this era is to be a worker.
After the college entrance examination is resumed, I will stay on the job and take a leave of absence to study, and then take off directly after finishing my studies.
Wuhu
Just thinking about it makes Wen Jiajia feel happy.
She didn't feel at all that she couldn't take off. More than ten years later, she could sell a suite by selling tea eggs.
She was worried that she would not pass the exam, even though she was a college student before traveling through time.
The college entrance examination a few years later covered candidates ranging from teenagers to forty years old, and the admission rate was quite terrifying. It was already very impressive to be able to get into a technical secondary school or a junior college.
Well, as we all know, the all-round knowledge reserve of university graduates may not be as good as that of middle school students.
Wen Jiajia was heartbroken and her heart ached every time she thought about it.
She regretted it so much. If she had known that she would travel through time, she would have memorized the examination papers of the first college entrance examination after its restoration.
Memorize every province!
"Oh!" Wen Jiajia sighed again.
Fang Mingyan: "What?"
"Alas, I missed the chance to go to a prestigious school." Wen Jiajia said.
She came to the kitchen and made herself a cup of hawthorn water. Just as she was about to drink it, she thought about it and pushed it to Fang Mingyan.
"You don't want to drink?"
“Yes, I don’t drink.”
Wen Jiajia wanted to scold Wei Dai, but he just walked away, leaving her in a state of panic, fearing that she might get pregnant.
