Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Speaking of Uncle Chen...
It is said that after Uncle Chen arrived at Dawang Village and slaughtered the pig, it was already time for dinner. The family was generous. Seeing that Uncle Chen slaughtered the pig well and drained the blood cleanly, they not only paid 200 coins and sold half the pig to Uncle Chen at a discount, but also invited Uncle Chen to have the pig-slaughtering meal.
Uncle Chen had been busy all morning and was indeed tired and hungry, so he didn't refuse.
"What a pity, there's not much food and wine. I'm sorry the country folks didn't treat us well enough."
The man poured a glass of wine for Uncle Chen and smiled embarrassedly.
Uncle Chen looked at the four dishes on the table. There were two meat dishes, with fat floating in the soup, which was very refreshing. In this day and age, it was already quite good. Even though Uncle Chen was dull, he knew that the host was being modest, so he opened his mouth to praise, "There are so many, how can it be less?"
Sure enough, the man smiled sincerely, "Come on, Brother Chen, don't be polite, eat, cousin, you too, don't be polite."
Just as everyone was picking up their chopsticks, a woman's voice suddenly came from outside.
"Hey, what is this? Where did the snail come from?"
When Uncle Chen heard this, he quickly put down his chopsticks, stood up and went to the door.
"Sister-in-law, that's mine."
The woman blushed as she heard this while holding the bowl of snails, feeling embarrassed for her recklessness. "I'm so sorry." But at the same time, she was a little curious about why Uncle Chen wanted to eat this. They asked the children to get it and mash it to feed the chickens and ducks.
Uncle Chen waved his hand and said, "It's okay."
At the same time, he brought the bowl of snails into the house.
"This is given by my sister. It's a good opportunity for everyone to try it together."
Everyone was stunned when they saw Uncle Chen coming in with a bowl of something. When they saw it was fried snails, their faces turned a little strange. It was the host who reacted first and praised, "It looks delicious."
The others finally reacted and echoed, "Yeah, we haven't eaten it in years. When we were kids, we used to go there and cook it. Don't you remember, Third Brother?"
"Of course I don't remember that. I got beaten up by my mother when I got home."
"Ha ha ha ha…"
The atmosphere suddenly became lively again, and everyone started chatting about the Zhang and Li families.
Until the host ate a snail, "Brother Chen, how did you cook this snail? It tastes really good."
However, his words were like a piece of gravel thrown into the sea, causing no ripples at all. Those who heard it even seemed a little skeptical. How could snails be so delicious? Which country boy hadn't eaten them as a child? Not only were they hard to chew, but they also had a fishy, earthy smell.
Only Uncle Chen was stunned for a moment, but he thought the other party was exaggerating, until he picked up a snail and tasted it.
? ?
Why is it different from what he imagined? Fresh, spicy and delicious.
As soon as I sipped the soup, the snail meat and the snail meat all went into my mouth along with my tongue. The snail meat was not dry at all and was soaked in the spicy soup.
He finished eating and subconsciously took a sip of wine. Wow, so refreshing! No wonder his niece asked him to eat it with wine!
good!
At this time, the people around were watching the man and Uncle Chen picking up snails more and more often, their faces full of enjoyment, and they couldn't help feeling a little curious.
Until one of them tried one and said, "This snail is really delicious."
Then the others followed suit and tasted it, "Hiss, so spicy..."
“Not bad, not bad!”
"It's delicious when eaten with wine!"
Soon, the bowl of snails was cleared out.
Everyone was a little unsatisfied, "These snails can be cooked so deliciously!"
"Yeah, I've never eaten anything so delicious."
Only Uncle Chen...
He felt a little regretful, what should he do? He knew these snails were so delicious, he should have saved them for himself to enjoy at home...
Why……
Meanwhile, Su Li, Su Tao and their mother Chen arrived at the dock and began their daily work. It's worth mentioning that before Su Li and her companions left the house this morning, they ran into Wang Tiezhu and his son from next door. After a round of compliments, they went around in circles before explaining their purpose.
"My father and I want to buy two meals from you every day."
Wang Tiezhu and Wang Ergou had a good idea. They would have to eat in the county anyway, so they might as well buy food from Su Li and the others. It would save trouble, they were neighbors, and the price was not expensive. They had been hunting in the mountains for many years and had saved some money. Excluding the money for their son's marriage, they were one of the richest families in the village.
Of course, no one else in these villages knew about this, and every time they went to sell the game, they would take a small path, either before dawn or after dark.
