There are seven or eight families near Liang Baikai's house, all of which are single-family houses with earthen walls and tiles. The houses are surrounded by vegetable fields.

A neighboring family is named Wang.

When Liang Bai arrived, Old Man Wang, wearing a worn-out straw hat and holding a rake, was raking the rapeseed in the farm dam.

"Hello, uncle!"

Liang Baikai greeted: "I am Liang Baikai, who bought the Huang family's house. What is your surname?"

Old Man Wang stopped what he was doing, lifted the straw hat on his head, and grinned: "Hey, he's a new neighbor!"

"Excuse me, my surname is Wang, and my name is Wang Benfu."

"Hello, Uncle Wang!" Liang Baikai said hello again, took out the Yellow Crane Tower and handed one over, "You have a cigarette."

Yellow Crane Tower!This is a good smoke!

Wang Benfu took it with a smile.

Rural people like him, who live in the city, usually only smoke Red Gold Dragon for 8 cents a pack.

The new neighbor smoked Yellow Crane Tower.

In addition, he also saw Liang Baikai coming back in a numb car before, and he seemed to have bought a lot of things.

There are various signs that this is a wealthy man.

It is human nature to seek wealth and avoid poverty.

Wang Benfu wanted to make friends and said with a smile: "Come in and sit for a while!"

Liang Baikai said: "Uncle Wang, I won't sit down for now and want to ask you, who has a grinder around here?"

Wang Benfu said: "I have mills at home, what are you trying to push?"

Liang Baikai was overjoyed and said: "I recommend Hezha."

"No problem! You can just bring it over and push it at my house." Wang Benfu said.

After saying that, he invited Liang Bai to come in for tea again.

This time Liang Baikai did not refuse.

Firstly, he had just "borrowed" something from someone and it was not appropriate to just leave. Secondly, he also wanted to ask Wang Benfu about the situation of other residents around him.

Smoking, drinking tea, and chatting.

Liang Baikai basically found out what he wanted to know, so he left and said he would come back later when the soybeans were soaked and the residue was pushed together.

Quickly return home.

Xu Qingqing has already soaked the soybeans and is washing vegetables.

"What a woman who can't sit still for a moment!" Liang Bai opened the corner of his mouth and shook his head speechlessly.

"You're back!"

Xu Qingqing saw Liang Baikai, with the two dimples on his face dizzy and a beautiful smile.

Liang Baikai nodded and said: "There is a mill next door to the Wang family. I have already agreed to push it later."

Xu Qingqing said: "That's great, you rest for a while, I will finish washing soon."

Liang Baikai said: "No, I will cook."

Xu Qingqing said: "It's still early, He Zha hasn't even been pushed yet."

Liang Bai smiled and said, "It's not the point to combine the dregs. It will take a while to cook so many dishes. I'll do them first."

After saying that, he washed his hands, picked up the piece of pork belly, cut it in half, washed it and started to mince it.

He used to work as a helper in a state-owned hotel and practiced knife skills. In addition, he also often cooked in his previous life, so he became more and more proficient in knife skills. It didn't take long for him to chop a small pot of minced meat.

At this time, Xu Qingqing had also finished washing the vegetables.

She did not leave the stove, but watched from the side.

Seeing him finish chopping, his big eyes were full of novelty and he said: "This is minced meat. I have only seen meat cut into slices and fried before, but I have never eaten minced meat!"

Liang Baikai felt a pain in his heart after hearing this.

Minced meat is such a common food, but my wife has never eaten it!

"Honey, I will let you eat whatever you want from now on!" Liang Baikai said solemnly.

Xu Qingqing smiled: "It will be good if you have meat to eat."

People in this era are satisfied that having meat to eat means a good life, and Xu Qingqing is no exception.

In fact, she rarely even ate meat at home before.

Liang Baikai bought more than six kilograms of meat this time, which was more meat than she had eaten in many years combined.

She even felt a little distressed when she saw such a large piece of meat chopped into mince.

The whole piece of meat is delicious if you eat it in big mouthfuls.He glanced at the minced meat in the basin again and couldn't help but ask: "You chopped the meat into such fine minced meat, is it still delicious?"

Liang Baikai said: "It's very delicious. You'll know it soon."

While talking, he chopped some minced garlic, ginger and chili pepper and put them into the minced meat, then poured a little soy sauce, sugar and starch into it, and finally cracked two eggs into it and kept stirring it with his hands.

"You still put eggs in it?"

Xu Qingqing opened her mouth wide, as if she saw something strange.

Also, why add sugar to it?

Liang Baikai said: "These are all seasoned to make the minced meat more flavorful." He shook his head, "It's a pity that there is no peppercorn noodles, which lacks the numbing taste."

After mixing well, set it aside and start cutting other vegetables.

Slice potatoes, shred lettuce, cut eggplant into strips...

With a smooth operation, more than a dozen kinds of vegetables were cut and arranged neatly in one plate after another.

At this time, the soybeans are almost soaked.

Xu Qingqing said: "It's like going to Wang's house next door to borrow a grinder. You have to use their water. It's just like getting something over there."

Liang Baikai said: "You decide what to take!"

Xu Qingqing said: "Vegetables and so on can be found in the vegetable garden. Why don't you cut a few taels of meat?"

Liang Baikai nodded with a smile and gave Xu Qingqing a thumbs up in his heart.

As expected of my wife, you are so generous!

In this era, eating meat is definitely a luxury for ordinary people.

He knew that Xu Qingqing had never eaten meat, but she was willing to send meat to her neighbors. It was so rare.

This is not only generous, but also good at dealing with others.

He immediately cut off about half a catty of meat and put it in an empty basin.

Liang Bai started to soak the soybeans in the enamel basin, Xu Qingqing took the basin to put the meat, and they went to Wang Benfu's house together.

"Uncle Wang, this is my wife Xu Qingqing!"

After meeting Wang Benfu, Liang Baikai introduced him.

"Hello Uncle Wang!"

Xu Qingqing greeted politely.

Wang Benfu responded and said with a smile: "You two, the man is handsome and the woman is pretty, you are a perfect match!"

"Thank you, Uncle Wang, for the compliment!" Xu Qingqing said generously: "We just moved here, so we came to you to borrow a millstone, which caused you trouble."

Wang Benfu said: "We are all neighbors, so don't be polite!"

"Thank you, Uncle Wang!" Xu Qingqing thanked her, took out the piece of meat from the basin and handed it over, saying: "It's my first time here, please don't dislike it, Uncle Wang."

what?

Wang Benfu swallowed his saliva when he saw the meat being handed to him.

He had no memory of when his family had eaten meat. The meat he was handed weighed at least half a catty and cost seven or eight cents.

How dare he accept it? He quickly said: "No, no, no, I can't accept this."

Xu Qingqing said: "Uncle Wang, please accept it! Otherwise, I will be embarrassed to use your mill."

Wang Benfu said: "If neighbors use a grinder, how can they get your meat?"

Xu Qingqing said: "Are you too young?"

Wang Benfu said quickly: "No, I..."

Xu Qingqing immediately said: "If you don't mind, just accept it. We are neighbors. As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. We are new here. Please take care of me from Uncle Wang in the future."
