October 5th.

At noon, a truck drove into Baizhou County and drove unobstructed to Gou'er Lane. He stopped in front of Liu Xiahui's rental house, and then honked the horn twice.

Liu Xiahui heard the sound of the horn and immediately stood up and said, "Sister, it's parents, cousins ​​and the others are here!"

These days, Liu Xiahui will call back every day, so she knows that her parents will come today.

Liu Xiaxue immediately stood up and walked over to open the door and said happily: "That's great, cousin Zifeng is here, I will have one more companion in the future!"

No wonder she is so happy. Among so many relatives at home, she has the best relationship with Zifeng's cousin.

When I was young, I went to my grandmother's house. Zifeng's cousin either took her to the mountains to pick wild fruits or took her to the river to fish.

There are also dragonflies, butterflies, cicadas...and so on!

Play whatever is fun, which brought a lot of fun to her childhood.

Guan Chunzhi next to him asked, "Lao Liu, what's your parents' personality?"

Liu Xiahui patted her friend's shoulder and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about their personality. Anyway, they don't live here. They usually just have a meal together!"

Guan Chunzhi was not as relaxed as his friends said. After all, there was a difference between having parents and not having parents. People who have been through their school days are probably understanding it.

Many people may have this experience, that is, when they were students, they liked to go to a classmate’s home, and the most popular ones are often families with parents who are not at home or have a low sense of presence and do not control others.

If it is a family where parents strongly like to discipline their children, after a classmate comes, I am afraid that I won’t want to come again!

...

Outside the rental house, Liu Xiahui's four cousins ​​got off the car, just like Liu Laolao entered the Grand View Garden. The only difference is that the four of them watched a metropolis ten times more prosperous than the county town on TV.

The four cousins ​​are cousins ​​Jiang Zifeng from my uncle's family, cousins ​​Jiang Zilong from my uncle's family, cousins ​​Dai Wenqiang from my uncle's family, and cousins ​​Li Xiaolian from my second aunt's family.

Among them, Dai Wenqiang's cousin from my aunt's family is the oldest, and he is 24 years old this year. The second is cousin Jiang Zifeng and Li Xiaolian. Both are 21 years old this year, and the youngest is cousin Jiang Zilong, who is 19 years old this year.

Although the youngest of the four cousins ​​is 19 years old, the four of them have never traveled far away, and it is the first time they have come here in the county town.

This situation is definitely incredible in later generations, but in today's era, it is normal.

Many of the slightly older people in the village live in a few nearby towns throughout their lives.

The main reason is that Bainiu Town is located in a remote location, which is more than 70 kilometers away from the county town. If the rural people are fine, who would run to the county town?

Just as the four of them were silently looking at the surrounding environment, Liu Xiaxue opened the door and walked out quickly, first greeted his parents, and then greeted three of them, "Three cousins, Cousin Li, Cousin Zilong!"

The third cousin is Dai Wenqiang's cousin.

My aunt is particularly capable of giving birth, with a total of six children, one daughter and seven children. Dai Wenqiang is the third child at home.

After greeting the three cousins, Liu Xiaxue whispered to Zifeng, who had the best relationship.

At this time, Liu Xiahui also walked out, said after saying hello one by one, and said, "Everyone should come in and have dinner first. It will be not too late to move the things in the car later!"

Liu Yuansheng also said, "Yes, everyone must be hungry, come in and have a meal first!"

After saying that, he greeted the driver.

The truck driver was also from Liuxiahui and the others. They were all familiar people and had nothing to be polite, so they went in to have a meal together.

During this period, Guan Chunzhi immediately greeted Liu’s father and mother, and did not forget to greet his four cousins ​​one by one!

Everyone politely talked to each other before sitting down to have a meal together.

The meal prepared by Liu Xiahui was very rich, including white-cut chicken, steamed fish, braised pork, steamed eggs, braised eggplant, fried beans, stir-fried water spinach, stir-fried winter melon, cold fungus, cold cucumber, and a large pot of mutton stewed soup.

After all, I knew that my parents had four cousins ​​and cousins ​​to come, so this first welcome banquet must be as rich as possible.

This table of food that was full of color, fragrance and flavor made the drivers in the same village and four cousins ​​praised them all over the mouth.

Unfortunately, everyone has to do things later and the driver has to drive back, so they didn’t drink. I have to say that this is a very regrettable thing.

After dinner, they rested for half an hour and everyone started working.

First, sort the things on the car.

The three cousins, Zifeng's cousins, and Zilong's cousins ​​were all placed here.

The salutes of parents and cousin Li were brought to the newly rented suite!

Then, the tableware, tables, chairs and so on that came up from the restaurant were taken to the midnight snack shop for a while.

When the driver drove away, everyone was not idle and started doing things immediately.

My mother took the big army to the midnight snack shop to clean up and cleaned all the pots, pans, and other items.

My father went out to stroll with his hands on his back and saw if he could find someone to make a sign for the midnight snack shop.

Li Xiaolian's cousin went back to the suite to clean.

As for Liu Xiahui and Guan Chunzhi, they stayed in the rental house to boil water and kill chickens, preparing for the afternoon stall!

It is now during the National Day Golden Week, and the business of white-cut chickens is a little better than usual.

The 14 white-cut chickens prepared in the morning were sold without leaving one for themselves in advance, and the 8 were sold in Dongcheng Market and 5 were sold in the South City Market.

In the afternoon, Liu Xiahui planned to prepare 17 white-cut chickens, 10 in Dongcheng Market and 7 in Nancheng Market.

Even if you can’t sell it all, you can keep it for food. After all, there are so many people eating now that you will definitely not waste it!

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Xiahui asked her sister to take Zifeng and Zilong to set up a stall.

The four cousins ​​must be separated to sell white-cut chickens. Whoever works quickly and neatly will be responsible.

Today I will give my uncle's cousin to try it out. If it is not suitable, I will change my uncle's cousin and my second aunt's cousin.

As for Liu Xiahui himself, he began to teach his mother to make spicy chicken pot. After teaching her mother, he asked her mother to take charge of this midnight snack shop!

"Mom, the essence of this spicy chicken pot lies in the four words "pickle", "spicy, fresh, and fragrant".

Let’s prepare fragrant ingredients such as onion, ginger, garlic, star anise, cinnamon, dried chili, pepper, bean paste, etc., and then wash the killed chicken and chop it into pieces."

Liu Xiahui was doing a demonstration and explained: "Then boil the oil. Add this oil boldly. Don't be afraid of too much oil. Add a bunch of spices and boil the spices to the fragrance on a low heat!"

"Put in the green onion, ginger and garlic and stir-fry, add the bean paste, stir-fry the red oil, and then pour the chicken pieces in and stir-fry!"

"When the chicken pieces are fried until golden and the oil starts to flourish, you can add soy sauce, cooking wine and a little sugar to stir-fry evenly!"

"Then, pour in the pepper water soaked in advance, simmer on medium-low heat for more than ten or twenty minutes, and finally add some oyster sauce and chicken essence, stir-fry for a few times and then it will be served."

"If you want to add side dishes such as chili peppers or onions, you can put the side dishes at the bottom of the pot, then pour the stewed spicy chicken in, and then burn it on a handful of heat, and it will be a spicy and fresh spicy chicken!"

"This dish is served both with rice and wine. It will be unforgettable for a lifetime after eating it. As long as we make this dish special, we will not worry about having no business!"

"Mom, have you learned it?"

The son's series of demonstration operations have long been stunned by Jiang Shiyun.

She couldn't figure out how her son knew how to make this spicy chicken pot that she had never heard of before?

And judging from his skillful appearance, he obviously didn’t just learn it. So when did he learn this dish from whom?

It was not until her son asked her if she had learned it that Jiang Shiyun came to her senses and asked in surprise: "Son, who did you learn this dish from? When did you learn it? Why don't I know?"

Liu Xiahui smiled and said, "Mom, this is what I learned from books. There are many books teaching cooking in Xinhua Bookstore. If you are interested, you can go and take a look!"

Jiang Shiyun suddenly said, "So that's it. If I have time, I have to go to the bookstore to find books on this aspect!"

Liu Xiahui smiled when she heard this.

There is a book in the bookstore that teaches cooking, but most people come back to learn it, but they learn it with their eyes but not their hands...
