Chapter 56: Eating meat is indeed the most delicious
Li Meng stopped only when Zhou Hui came to call her. Picking mushrooms was so healing. If she had nothing to do, she could stay there for a whole day, put all the mushrooms in a backpack, and then return to the pond along the same way she came.
Li Laidi had already cut the wild boar into pieces, and Zhou Hui used the pig intestines to catch two chopstick-length grass carps. They packed up the pork, and the three of them returned home happily with a full load!
As soon as Li Meng arrived at the gate of the Youth League Home, a girl rushed out and hugged her tightly. She staggered and almost fell to the ground!
"Sister Mengmeng, you're finally back. I've been waiting for you for a long time." It turned out to be Hu Xiaoyu. She came when they just went out in the afternoon. She didn't dare to go up the mountain to find them alone, so she accompanied Wu Ruirui in the Youth League Courtyard, chatting and waiting for her to come back.
"My sister was going to come at first, but something delayed her and she didn't come. I came to confirm with you about my sister's makeup for her wedding next Saturday. I was afraid you forgot." Hu Xiaoyu pouted and followed Li Meng into the yard!
"Don't worry, I'll remember it. Just come and pick me up in advance," Li Meng put the things in the kitchen and went to change clothes. He smelled of blood. He would wait until Wu Ruirui fell asleep at night and then go into the bathroom to take a good bath!
You guys are really amazing. You even caught pheasants and fish. Isn’t it fun to go into the mountains? Take me with you next time! When Li Meng changed her clothes and went out, she saw Hu Xiaoyu chattering around Zhou Hui, and Zhou Hui looked impatient!
"How do you get home at night? If you have a car, I'll invite you to have a meal and give you this pheasant. If you don't have a car, I won't invite you to stay. The road is easier to travel during the day," Li Meng said directly to Hu Xiaoyu.
"I heard from Sister Ruirui that your cooking is delicious, but it's a pity that I don't have the chance to enjoy it," Hu Xiaoyu sighed. It turned out that she came with her neighbors. Before they came back just now, Hu Xiaoyu's neighbor came to urge her to come back, so after seeing Li Meng and confirming the time, she was going back.
"Then come back next time when you are free, and I will cook for you." Li Meng said with a smile, "What's so regretful about this? Go back quickly, it will be difficult to walk after dark, be careful on the way back!"
"Then I'll leave first. Goodbye, Sister Mengmeng and Sister Ruirui." Hu Xiaoyu left after saying that.
"This girl is so talkative, now she's finally gone," Zhou Hui stood up and teased. At this time, Hu Xiaoyu stuck her head out of the door and said to Zhou Hui, "I just forgot to say hello to you, Big Wood. See you next time!"
"How come this person appears and disappears out of nowhere? He scared me." Zhou Hui rolled his eyes and patted his chest. Wu Ruirui teased, "That's why people should not say bad things about others behind their backs. You see, you are the only one who was scared." Humph, coward! After saying that, she shook her head proudly and went into the kitchen!
After Li Laidi came back, he cut the pork into three portions in the kitchen. Li Meng took out her portion and gave it to Wu Ruirui. The rest of the pheasant and fish were cooked and saved for tonight!
Li Meng plans to make some pork sauce tomorrow and send some back to her eldest brother and second uncle. The current weather allows the sauce to be stored without worrying about it going bad!
"Mengmeng, what are we going to eat tonight? Are we going to have barbecue? I'll do the cutting for you." Wu Ruirui was excited and was ready to start helping.
"Yes, Sister Meng, just tell us and we will do it," Zhou Hui also echoed, and Li Laidi also nodded rapidly!
All right then! Li Meng assigned the tasks to everyone and went about their business!
As the sun sets, smoke is already rising from the village. The weather is getting colder and the villagers have basically started to hibernate. There is still a little work to be done before Chinese New Year!
The pork bone soup was bubbling in the pot on the small stove, and the whole yard was filled with the aroma of the pork rib soup.
"I don't know what they are making today, it smells so good, it's really appetizing," said Liu Shu. As the eldest brother in the Youth League Institute, he was somewhat disgusted with these people who were spending lavishly on food and drink. Even if the family conditions were good, they could not eat meat every day like this!
"Brother Liu, why don't you go and take a look?" Zhang Qiang secretly encouraged him and swallowed his saliva unconsciously. The fragrance was so overbearing that it kept going into his nose!
"This Li Laidi is really good at flattering people. He saved himself a meal again today," Liu Huan whispered to Wang Fang. Wang Fang just glanced at her and didn't say anything. After all, she was still quite uncomfortable with the fact that she was left alone in the restaurant last time.
"Huanhuan, if you want to eat, I'll go ask Wu Ruirui. We're classmates, he will definitely invite us to eat together," Zhang Qiang said to Liu Huan in a flattering manner.
He could sense that Liu Huan had been a little cold towards him in the past two days, not as warm as before, and he heard that she had bought a lot of things when she came back from town. Her family conditions would not allow her to spend money like this, so there must be some reason he didn't know!
Liu Huan sneered: "I advise you not to be so self-indulgent. If you ask for it, others will give it to you." Who do you think you are? After saying that, she went back to her room. She didn't care about this. She just liked to brag about a man who had no real ability and didn't have as much money as her. Big brother treated her well. He bought her so many things when they first met. She must go to town to see him again in a few days!
No matter what others say, the four people in the kitchen were eating with their mouths full of grease, roasted chicken skin, roasted pork belly, roasted fish and roasted mushrooms, and drinking pork ribs and kelp soup. This is life!
"Mengmeng, you put kelp in the pork rib soup, right? One of my dad's former subordinates brought some to my dad. His home seems to be by the sea, which is quite far away." Wu Ruirui slurped the soup while staring at the skewers!
"Yes, I brought it from home. It's still very fresh when put in the pork ribs soup." Li Meng continued to eat the skewers. This wild and natural fish is delicious. It's so fresh. It's grilled with sizzling oil, and then sprinkled with barbecue ingredients. It's absolutely amazing!
After teaching Zhou Hui how to grill skewers, Li Meng basically just ate and didn't have to do anything else. You know what, Zhou Hui has a talent for grilling skewers and he can do it once taught. This saves her trouble from now on as she doesn't have to do it herself!
The few of them ate a lot tonight. Wu Ruirui took out some chrysanthemums and made some chrysanthemum tea, saying that he was afraid that eating too much meat would cause a sore throat, so he made sure they drank some as well!
Li Laidie waved his hands and said, "I ate the meat with great difficulty, I'm not afraid of getting a sore throat, I won't drink it." Then Li Laidie was seen running around the stove, and Wu Ruirui followed him with chrysanthemum tea in his hand. It was so lively!
After dinner, they cleaned up the kitchen together, put the remaining meat in a basket and hung it on the beam. Then they went back to the house to wash and get ready for bed!
Then I heard knocks on the door, and then I heard Liu Shu going to open the gate. I don’t know what happened outside!
