197 Cooking Together

She said.

"You put your back and firewood here first."

Zhao Yuanle let go steadily.

She noticed the pig ginger and said casually.

"When we were raising pigs, we dug this one when we encountered it, but now we rarely dig it."

When Zhao Yuanle heard this, he became interested.

“Where did you dig it?”

Old lady: "There is not a certain place in the pine forest here, but you can get hit by digging a few more places."

Zhao Yuanle was happy.

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it...

I thought it was unlucky to get lost this time, but my third uncle found a benefactor who was lost when he was a child, and he also learned another good place where there were pig gong bacteria.

Earn!

When the old lady saw that Zhao Yuanle had put things on, she took them out again.

Zhao Yuanle saw that the room in the middle was not big, but it was very clean. The furniture made of wood was carved with patterns and bamboo mats he woven.

They are two people who understand life very well.

But... there are no other family members.

Zhao Yuanle found it a little strange.

The houses of these two old men look pretty good. Although they are not big blue brick houses, the walls are covered with plaster, the roofs are thick thatched, and there are a lot of furniture. They are definitely not the kind of family that can't afford to raise children.

Even if the old lady can't give birth to her, the two of them can still be adopted. She can't adopt a boy, but it's still very simple to adopt a girl.

But here, there are no traces of the third person's life.

Two old men without a descendant...

Zhao Yuanle looked at the old man. His face was kind and he couldn't tell much sorrow. He seemed to be not entangled with the issue of future generations.

At this time, Zhao Sancheng sat with the old man and talked enthusiastically about what happened at that time.

He was very moved.

"I was scared at that time and wanted to go back soon. I forgot to say thank you, and I forgot to ask you which one is. My father wanted to thank you, but I couldn't find it.

I have been remembering this matter until now. I just want to say thank you one day. God bless you, I finally met you."

Later, he felt that this regret would never be eliminated in his life, and even thought that this kind-hearted person might not be alive because of his age.

But fortunately, God is still kind-hearted.

The old man laughed.

"You laughed so hard at that time. I asked you who you were. You said you lived in Zhaojiaao. My old woman and I thought it was too late, so we called you to rest here for a night, but you refused.

What were you talking about?

You cried and said no, you said what if my old woman and I were kidnapped? You would sell you."

Zhao Sancheng scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Oh, my family kept saying, "I don't believe people who don't recognize me, and I remember it if I say it's a kidnapper."

Grandpa: "You kept crying, so I had to send you back. You could cry all the way."

Zhao Sancheng couldn't help asking.

"Why didn't you send me home? It was only a little bit late at that time, so you asked me to go back by myself."

Grandpa: "I'm going to burn out the torch. You must know that little way anyway."

Zhao Sancheng sighed.

"I still walked around a few times, and then I met someone from the village who was looking for me, so I took me back.

So later they didn't catch up when they came to find you."

Grandpa doesn't take this seriously.

"I remember you crying for years."

Zhao Yuanle heard it next to him and couldn't help laughing.

She didn't know that her third uncle was a crybag when she was a child.

She couldn't help but ask, "Uncle San, does my father like to cry?"

Zhao Sancheng: "He didn't cry, I've never seen him cry, except..." Except when his second sister-in-law died.

Zhao Yuanle didn't care about Zhao Sancheng's words later. She heard the sound of chopping meat and then went into the kitchen.

At this time, the old lady's back was a little hunched and she was holding a kitchen knife to chop bacon.

Zhao Yuanle hurriedly stopped.

"Forget it, just make some food."

The old lady turned her head and smiled and said, "There is nothing good, don't dislike it."

Zhao Yuanle: "Isn't bacon a good thing?"

She saw that the fire in the stove was about to exit, so she went over and sat on the bench and started adding firewood.

The rice cooked in the cauldron, with the red potatoes added, she smelled it.

The old lady: "It's dark and I'm washing the bacon quickly, and I don't know if it's clean."

Zhao Yuanle took a look and said surely: "It's washed clean, it's very clean."

The old lady smiled and cut the bacon into large pieces, then opened the cupboard, took out a large bowl, and put the cut bacon in.

Zhao Yuanle saw the wild vegetable dumplings in the cupboard from the corner of his eyes.

She thought that if it weren't for her and her third uncle today, the wild vegetable dumpling would have been the supper for the two old men.

Here the old lady pretended to be bacon, walked over, and took out the rice bowl covered with tremblingly.

When Zhao Yuanle saw him, he hurried to help.

The old lady sat down next to her and rested for a while.

She sighed: "When people get old, their bones hurt, especially when they walk, they will sway all the way."

Zhao Yuanle scooped the rice soup bowl and washed it, and put it in front of the stove.

She rolled up her sleeves.

"Come on, I'll help you."

The old lady smiled, and the wrinkles on her face stretched out.

"OK."

With the cooperation between the two, the rice was cooked quickly.

The weed dumplings in the cupboard were finally thrown into the rice and hot.

After learning that Zhao Yuanle also likes spicy food, the old lady dug a lot of pickled peppers from her jar to stir-fry the bacon. She also took out a piece of red tofu and dug half a bowl of fermented black beans out.

The food was served quickly, and Zhao Yuanle found that there was a stack of pickled ginger on it.

The old lady told her that this was pickled ginger.

Zhao Yuanle was slightly surprised.

I didn’t expect that some foreign things had a wide range of spread.

The old man deliberately lit two kerosene lamps on the wall, and the surroundings were lit a lot.

Four people sat on the table, one by one.

There are only two hot dishes on this table, fried bacon, and lettuce leaves cooked with oil from fried bacon.

The rest are side dishes such as red tofu, fermented bean curd, pickled ginger.

For these two old people, this was already a very warm hospitality.

The old lady kept picking up food for Zhao Yuanle. Zhao Yuanle's bowl was filled with fat bacon with oil, and Zhao Sancheng's bowl was much thinner.

The two old men themselves only ate lettuce leaves and side dishes.

Zhao Yuanle also noticed that the most white rice in her bowl was, followed by Zhao Sancheng. The two old men basically had red potatoes in their own bowls, and the wild vegetable dumplings.

Looking at the simple and enthusiastic smiles of the two old men, she thought that when she left, she must leave something to thank.

After thinking about it, Zhao Yuanle sniffed her eyes.

This bacon is really good, even better than Sanniang's smoked. Although there is no other thing added, the meat tastes very fragrant.

Under this premise, Zhao Yuanle quickly tasted a few side dishes and found that these side dishes also had a unique flavor, especially the fermented black beans, which were not dry and quite flavorful.

When the old lady saw that Zhao Yuanle liked her, she kept picking up food for her and told her to eat more.

When we were having fun, the barking of dogs outside suddenly rang again.
