Braised chicken is so delicious
When I opened the lunch box, I saw layers of emerald green onions and a few white onions on top, and underneath was chicken cooked in red soup. The aroma spread throughout the courtyard.
Zhou Huaiyue sat on a small stool, and Dahuang squatted at his feet, staring at his master who was eating happily. The dog's tail was anxiously sweeping back and forth on the ground, raising a small dust.
"Here you go, little dog." The owner threw a clean-gnawed chicken breast bone to Dahuang. The dog stood up to catch it, then lay on the ground and crushed the bone with a few crunches.
hehe!
Zhou Huaiyue was still dissatisfied with the rhubarb glutinous rice, but the dog stared at him for a long time before giving him such a small piece.
"Dahuang, here you go!" Shen Roujiao threw the cut chicken butt at its feet.
The dog sniffed and held them all in its mouth one by one, then tilted its head and looked at Zhou Huaiyue, "Go!" Hearing his master's words, Dahuang trotted out of the yard.
"No one is competing with you, Dahuang, where are you going?" Shen Rou waved at the dog tenderly, asking it to come back.
"Stop yelling! He's a father now and is in a hurry to go back to feed his baby." Master Zhou picked up a big chicken leg from the lunch box. Relying on his good looks, he didn't care about his handsome image at all. He looked focused and ate one bite after another, enjoying himself.
"I thought Dahuang was a rough guy, but I didn't expect him to be a caring dad." Shen Roujiao looked at the dog's happy little body and was sincerely happy for it.
“Don’t you even look at who the master is?” Zhou Huaiyue put the cleaned chicken leg bone on the newspaper at his feet, raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Roujiao, muttering to himself: How can she come up with so many new words, rough man, nanny dad, they are very well made up.
But he was met with Shen Roujiao's sly smile, "If it doesn't bark, it must have learned to be dumb from the master!"
!
Cough, cough, cough!
These words made Zhou Huaiyue cough violently. Shen Roujiao hurried into the room and brought him half a glass of water.
I don't know if her face turned red because of shame or because of coughing.
In short, Zhou Huaiyue blushed to the tips of his ears, and secretly said, "If you can't chat, don't talk, it's annoying!"
In fact, Dahuang could bark before, but after he nearly died during the mass dog slaughter in the village, he never barked again after being rescued by Zhou Huaiyue.
It is extremely afraid of people, like a ghost dog that can only bark.
"Master, have you ever seen its baby?"
The tone of their conversation was as if they were talking about a mutual friend, not a dog at all.
Strange frequency.
"Two of them, at the base of the earthen wall behind the village. They are afraid of people and hide very secretly." Zhou Huaiyue tore off a corner of the pancake and dipped it in the soup. It smelled so good and his face was full of satisfaction. "Did you stew it?" He just thought it was too delicious and was a little skeptical that it was Shen Roujiao's cooking.
"Ah! Of course I have to. I'm quite skilled!" Modestly, no problem.
Somehow.
Perhaps it was because Zhou Huaiyue had no intellectual baggage and was known as a lunatic, so Shen Roujiao felt particularly relaxed in front of him and dared to say anything and pretend anything.
"Let's talk about this time selling medicinal herbs." After Master Zhou finished his meal, he thought about his teaching tasks.
Shen Roujiao then described the entire experience in vivid detail, with gestures and laughter, including how she learned to identify herbs in the herbal medicine shop. She praised Boss Chen for being a nice person and described the story in great detail.
After hearing this, Zhou Huaiyue snorted coldly and said, "Then you should change your master!" with a very unhappy tone.
Oh my god, this is too petty.
Could it be that he started drinking vinegar because he was afraid that there would be nothing delicious to eat in the future?
"How can that be possible! As the saying goes, once a teacher, always a father. Master Zhou is too young to be a father, so just be my master. I, Shen Roujiao, swear here that I will never change my father, and I will never change my master!" She made a "yeah" gesture with her eyebrow and stood in front of Zhou Huaiyue.
"Put your fingers together!" Master Zhou's face was serious, and he was watching her swearing expression seriously.
!
At first I didn’t want to be a chef, but after eating chicken, I had no choice but to become one.
"Zhou Huai Yue will always be my Shen Roujiao's master!" She tried hard to hold back her laughter, thinking: What a pair of childish guys, they make swearing in such a ceremonial way, they are so stupid.
"Okay! Go back and bring your notebook tomorrow so I can see if what Mr. Chen said is right." Master Zhou crumpled up the newspaper next to the bones, walked to the front of the room, put it on the windowsill, and prepared to go into the house.
It was almost time, and the third brother who had been working the stall was about to come back. "Oh, I see! Master, I'm leaving now!"
Unexpectedly, just as she raised her feet, Zhou Huaiyue behind her asked loudly: "The last time you sang, what was that handsome Superman in a movie? What was that?"
ah?!
Shen Roujiao stared with eyes wide open, mouth open, and stood there like a wooden chicken. The song that almost killed her popped up in her mind again: I have always had a dream in my heart, I want to go to Songshan Shaolin to learn martial arts, just like the handsome Superman in the movie...
"Superman?" These two words are incredible.
"Yes, you told me, who is Superman?" This was probably the first time that Shen Roujiao saw such a serious expression on Zhou Huaiyue's face. He seemed to really want to know what Superman was.
Uh!? Difficult.
Hiss!? That’s hard.
Um!?
Shen Roujiao was completely stumped. How should she describe the first superhero in the history of American comics?
"He was born on a star, has unlimited strength and super powers. Whenever there is danger, he wears a blue tights, a red cape, and a big S symbol on his chest, and acts as a hero to save the world." She explained it with great difficulty. I don't know if Zhou Huaiyue understood it, but she tried her best anyway.
"Is he more powerful than Sun Wukong?" Zhou Huaiyue frowned and thought seriously about the answer.
"Well! How should I put it? He is definitely more handsome than Sun Wukong, but his ability is definitely not as strong as our Monkey King." Shen Roujiao nodded firmly, very satisfied with her answer.
Let’s not talk about other things, just the 72 transformations alone, Superman can’t do it, he has too much image baggage as an idol. Our Monkey King is so approachable, he can transform into anything, regardless of species or gender, he can do anything.
"Then why do you sing him? Why not sing Monkey King?" Master Zhou tried to make an excuse.
!
"Well! It's not impossible." Really, no matter how capable he is, he will never say no.
Shen Roujiao looked embarrassed and couldn't open her mouth. But Zhou Huaiyue was waiting there, and he seemed determined not to stop until he heard her.
"Then I can sing!" She felt her blood boiling. There must be something unhealthy attached to her body that made her discuss with Zhou Huaiyue in such a nonsensical way who was more powerful, Superman or Sun Wukong.
"Sing! Start from the master."
!
The God of Wealth, he is the God of Wealth. We should worship the God of Wealth who can bless us to make money, but we should not get angry with him. It is normal for the God of Wealth to love Chinese culture, you can do it.
Shen Roujiao cleared her throat, "Master, I can't hold on any longer. I have always had a dream in my heart. I want to go to Songshan Shaolin to learn martial arts, just like the handsome Monkey King in the myth, doing chivalrous deeds and climbing walls."
You know what, it seems to work.
"Well, it sounds much better this way. Let's sing like this from now on. Let's go back." Zhou Huaiyue hummed along with a happy expression.
"Okay." Fortunately, no one saw me acting like a fool.
Two years later, in 1981, the movie "Superman" was released in my country, becoming the first science fiction translation to be released in my country. Shen Roujiao had long forgotten about this incident, but Zhou Huaiyue still remembered it clearly.
After coming out of the cinema, he stared at Jiaojiao and asked inexplicably: "You are not an alien, are you? When you were digging herbs, you knew about Superman?"
"Guess!" Shen Roujiao rolled her eyes at him, and after walking 50 meters away, she said, "I'm not Superman, but I'm better than Superman."
"Then fly over and let me see." Zhou Huaiyue pointed to the telephone pole on the street, meaning that he wanted her to fly up to it.
!
"Hmph, you asked me to fly, but I won't. I'll fly when no one is around." Shen Roujiao passed by Zhou Huaiyue with a proud look on her face. Her cute little expression was particularly lovely.
Zhou Huaiyue chased after her and ruffled her hair lovingly, "Remember to take me with you!"
American Superman created a Chinese couple, one of whom is a time traveler. Haha, so sci-fi.
Shen Roujiao walked out of the yard, and a dark shadow suddenly stood up beside the wall, scaring her so much that she trembled all over.
"Little sister." The dark shadow spoke.
"Brother?!" Shen Roujiao saw that the shadow was her second brother, and three black lines appeared on her head. "When did you come?"
"Who is more powerful, Superman or Sun Wukong?" Shen Tiancheng stared at his younger sister with a strange look. "So, he taught you to identify medicinal herbs, and you taught him to sing?"
"Ah, forget it, forget it, forget it! Let's go, let's go." So embarrassing, the handsome Monkey King in the myth is like a fool.
Not wanting to talk any more, Shen Roujiao quickened her pace and walked ahead. Shen Tiancheng followed behind her, asking persistently, "Little sister, who exactly is Superman?"
"Strange person, stop asking, I don't know him." Shen Roujiao quickly ran, her voice floating in the night.
"Little sister, tell me too." Shen Tiancheng continued to ask.
Shen Roujiao, who had already started running, silently said in her heart, "If you ask again, I'll kill you!"
…
It turned out that all the brothers including the eldest brother were at home, and they sent the second brother to pick up Jiaojiao.
A big pot was placed in the middle of the yard. Everyone sat around it in a circle, holding large bowls filled with chicken, eating until their mouths were full of grease, and talking and laughing.
There is a full moon above the sky, and the bright moonlight pours down, shining on everyone's bowl and body, like white sugar, sweet. Life can really be sweet.
It’s great to have such a family!
…
After eating, Shen Rushan called Jiaojiao aside.
"Brother Da Wa, I know what you want to say! I'm not trying to hide it from you, but I'm not sure about the medicinal materials business. So, I want to give it a try and then ask you what you think." Shen Roujiao saw her second brother standing behind Shen Rushan and pointing at her.
"Your brother can take leave, but I can't? Unless," he paused, turned around and pointed at Shen Tiancheng, "unless, he is your biological brother and I am not."
"Brother! I never treated you as an outsider. It was mainly because I was afraid that Aunt Zhao would get angry."
Shen Rushan had a look of relief on his face. "Little sister, you are really wrong this time."
"What?" Shen Roujiao was confused by what he said.
"Second brother's house!" The voice at the gate attracted everyone's attention.
Shen Shanhe was followed by Zhao Ye and Erniu. The aunt walked into the yard with a basket in her hand, "Second brother, let's have dinner together as a Shen family today." The uncle patted Shen's father on the shoulder.
Zhao Ye lifted the cloth covering the basket, revealing the corn cakes she had just made.
"Brother, have some cake." Aunt Zhao took out a cake and handed it to Father Shen. This was the first time she called Father Shen "brother".
"Sister-in-law!" Father Shen's voice was shaking.
"Hey! Let's eat together as a Shen family." Zhao Ye waved her hand and wiped her face, "Jiaojiao, share the cake with Auntie." She raised her eyes and motioned Jiaojiao to come over quickly.
Shen Roujiao was still stunned in the spot, and reflexively called out, "Auntie!"
"Hey!" Zhao Ye said with a smile.
The two looked at each other, and Shen Roujiao smiled with tears in her eyes!
We are the Shen family, we are a family.
