Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

Half asleep and half awake, I vaguely heard the sound of someone moving around and moving tables and chairs.

Liu Yu felt a thrill in her heart, and she suddenly woke up. She opened her eyes suddenly and saw, under the bright sky, several people moving things from the cart to the table.

"Uncle, third uncle!"

Liu Yu took a closer look and hurriedly called for someone. As soon as he spoke, Changsheng beside him woke up and called for someone too.

"Why do you bring so many things!"

Liu Yu tightened her clothes and just got up from the warm bed. When she stepped out, she felt a bit chilly.

There were two pottery pots on the table, and I didn't know what was in them. I brought a few more tables and chairs, and a large clay oven.

Liu Meixiang, who came with her, was chopping a piece of wood and placing it in the shed, along with a large pile of bowls.

"Those two pots are made of dumpling fillings made last night. I brought them here in a hurry. Today is the main meeting. There will definitely be many people burning incense. More tables and chairs can also retain the guests!"

"We are selling float tea today. Grandma is worried that the stove won't be moved, so she borrowed another one from He Sheng's house!"

After Liu Meixiang finished speaking, she asked Liu Yu for water and where the noodles were, and then started to work.

Liu Maolin and Liu Maoye had to rush to burn incense, move their things, and move the cart to a place out of the way. They hurried up the mountain carrying the incense paper.

When the morning light faded, Changsheng ran out and saw a butcher coming to sell meat. He bought a large plate of pork belly, which was twenty kilograms.

He also brought back some pork bones, saying they were from the butcher.

The sun came out soon, and more and more pilgrims were burning incense, coming and going.

There are many wealthy households driving horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts. Of course, most of them are ordinary people wearing coarse linen and cotton.

"You guys get busy first. Your grandpa and grandma will be here with Xiaoxue in a while. Your second brother and sister-in-law will also come to help!"

Liu Maolin said a few words, and then he and Liu Maoye pushed the cart away.

Liushan is getting engaged today, and the family is equally busy. As elders, they can't escape.

The sun was getting higher, and a lot of villagers who had not returned from the incense gathering were gathered on the plain farther away, waiting for the show to begin.

More and more villagers are burning incense, and they are all rushing to the mountains to pray for the safety of their homes, the prosperity of their livestock, and the harvest.

"Eggs cost two cents each, and rice dumplings cost the same two cents each. Each one has brown sugar and red dates inside!"

Liu Meixiang sat in the back, wrapping dumplings in front of two pots of stuffing, Chang Sheng was dicing the meat for making sautee, and Liu Yu was rolling out the dumpling wrappers while greeting the guests.

There are many people going up the mountain at this time, and eggs and rice dumplings are especially popular. If you burn eggs and serve sweet rice dumplings, the elderly and children at home can also get blessings from the gods.

When the drama started, Liu Fusheng and Nian rushed over with Liu Yan and Chen Jinmei.

Several people were neat and tidied up the tables, chairs and benches again. Chen Jinmei was even more attentive. Thinking that she had seen the decorations of other shops when she came all the way, she arranged another table for Liu Meixiang to sit at the front and bake dumplings.

The big fat belly meat dumplings squeezed into several curtains are all distinct, and they look very festive.

Each plain Yuanbao dumpling is packed with spirit, and the branches of the dumpling leaves are tilted up, like a sailing boat.

Liu Yan asked where to get water, and brought back several buckets of water at once, filling the large pottery basins used for washing dishes with water.

As the sun gradually rose, Liu Meixiang took a bowl full of meat that Changsheng had cut, ordered the seasonings, turned on the air outlet of the stove, and began to prepare the meat dumplings.

There were more and more people going down and up the mountain, squeezing each other, and from time to time there were people shouting and stepping on their shoes and pushing their backs.

Stir-fried over high heat, the aroma of the meat quickly spreads out. The diced pork belly in the pot is stir-fried until it becomes sizzling and oily, and the originally oily cut surface also turns brown.

Throw in the soy sauce, onions, ginger and garlic, and stir with a spatula. Soon, the original meaty aroma is added with the aroma of soy sauce.

Pedestrians passing by looked sideways and swallowed their saliva.

"Your fried meat is very delicious!"

No one can refuse the hot and oily squid.

"This is the steamed rice noodles, not only the meat steamed rice noodles, but also the vegetarian rice noodles made from diced bamboo shoots."

"It's actually steamed noodles. I'll have to try it when I come back from burning incense later!"

The man wearing brand new clothes said cheerfully.

"After I heard the show, I came over to support it. The dumplings are really pretty. Each one has a big and full belly. You can tell at a glance that there is enough filling!"

Some people looked at the dumplings placed on the shelf nearby and felt their mouths watering.

"Okay, our meat dumplings are all made from minced pork. They are all pure meat and only seasoned with chopped green onion!"

The filling basin on one side of Liumeixiang allows curious pilgrims to see it more clearly.

It was almost noon, and after Liu Meixiang finished frying a pot of vegetarian sesame seeds, more and more people were eating.

"Boss, give us a bowl of steamed noodles each!"

“Boss, we want saozi noodles!”

“Boss, here’s one meat dumpling and one vegetarian dumpling!”

"We want a bowl of meat noodles, a vegetarian dumpling, a bowl of float tea, and an extra rice dumpling!"

"…………"

Sounds came one after another.

Liu Shan greeted the guests, Liu Yu was busy rolling out the dough, and Nian and Liu Fusheng stayed behind in the stoneware basin filled with water, waiting to wash the dishes.

After boiling the dumplings for three times, Liu Meixiang carefully scooped them out with a bamboo slotted spoon, counted them carefully, and put them all into a halo-colored white porcelain plate.

Chen Jinmei took the plate and handed it over with a smile on her face, followed by a small bowl of bone soup with oil stars floating in the air and a thick white soup.

"We don't want soup!"

The neatly dressed woman couldn't help frowning as she looked at the large bone soup that was brought to her. Although the bone soup looked really fragrant and delicious, it also cost money. The woman was a little dissatisfied with the store's independent decision-making.

"This sister-in-law has misunderstood. Our bone soup comes with dumplings!"

Chang Sheng explained hurriedly.

oh! Since it was a gift, it was free of charge. No one disliked the free gesture. The woman immediately became happy and thanked Chang Sheng with a smile on her face.

"There is vinegar sauce and chili water over there. If you need it, go get it yourself!"

Changsheng put several bowls of bone soup together and pointed at the two cans of juice on the countertop.

The guest eating dumplings glanced in the direction of Changsheng's finger and saw a bamboo tray next to the two cans of juice. The tray was full of dipping dishes with irregular openings!

Needless to say, this stall is very particular.

When the drama on the two stages came to an end, there were even more people eating.

The crowd turned around and found that this food shop was the most crowded, and the customers sitting inside looked satisfied with their food.

There were even some burly, pot-bellied men who finished a bowl of meat-and-soy noodles and then asked for a bowl of vegetarian noodles.

The hesitant guest saw Liu Yu rolling out a ball of dough in twos and twos, folding it into a pile, shaking the evenly sliced ​​noodles, and throwing them into the pot.

The little brother didn't stop at all and continued to roll out the next dough.

The noodles undulated with the boiling water, and were finally scooped into a soup bowl by a handsome young man.

The young man's fingers were clean and tidy, and he skillfully picked up the white porcelain spoon, facing the porcelain basin with the sautee, and scooped two big spoonfuls full of it, covering it all over the surface.

Finally, pour two ladles of tumbling bone broth on top, and the sour seeds will spread out after being washed by the bone broth.
