As soon as the second aunt came home, she saw her man staring at her with a face full of alcohol, "Where have you been?"

"Go to the east entrance of the village to see 'your' Widow Chen. She has bought a bullock cart and it's very beautiful." She said in a sinister tone.

"Shut up, you stinky bitch. Why don't you hurry up and cook, do you want to starve me to death?" Chen Erlai didn't wake up until now. His stomach was growling with hunger. He went to look for something to eat in the pot, only to find that Nothing. My mouth was very thirsty again, so I dug out a bottle of wine from somewhere and drank it all in a few sips.

The second-hand aunt retorted, "We have no rice at home to cook. What can we use to cook? Can you let me do magic tricks?"

"How dare you talk back to me!" Chen Erlai was annoyed and slapped him away with a hot-headed slap. "I think you bitches haven't been itchy for three days, right? You can't do it without rice." Think of a way?"

The second aunt was beaten until she screamed "ouch, ouch, ouch" and cried.

Seeing his mother-in-law crying, Chen Erlai beat her even more vigorously, "Cry, cry, cry, just cry. I'm not dead yet, who are you going to mourn for?" He kicked her over.

A twelve-year-old girl and a ten-year-old boy rushed in from the door. They threw themselves on the ground and hugged Chen Erlai's legs, "Don't hit my mother." "Dad, please stop hitting your mother." "

"Little bastards, you two dare to stop me. Just like your mother, you are looking for a beating. You don't do any work every day, but you have a mouth that knows how to eat." Chen Erlai didn't even let go of his children. One of them gave a big mouthful, knocking both of them to the ground.

"Don't hit them! If you want to hit them, hit me." The second aunt crawled over and protected a pair of children. The man's fist made a loud bang.

Chen Erlai was tired from beating him and collapsed on the bed, smelling of alcohol and shouting, "You bitch, hurry up and cook for me, I'm hungry... Widow Chen actually bought a bullock cart. I didn't expect this widow to be so special." Rich! When I'm full, I'll buy a bullock cart...Chen, who is Widow Chen..." He muttered not knowing what to say.

Aunt Erlai saw that he had finally fallen asleep and calmed down a bit, so she got up from the ground. She patted the dirt all over her body, smoothed back her messy hair, and went to the kang to pack a simple baggage. The children said, "Go back to your grandma's house with your mother."

The Chen family was full of joy.

Chen Changsheng didn't expect that her second son could drive an ox cart so well, turning corners and U-turns with ease, and she felt a little ashamed of herself.

Chen Erlu touched the big ox's back, grabbed a lot of grass and stuffed it into the ox's mouth, "Eat more, you will be exhausted today."

Chen Sixi was also rushing to feed them, "Second brother, leave the job of feeding the cows to me from now on. You can just drive the car and take us into the city."

It was a great joy for his family to buy an oxcart. Chen Changsheng planned to cook some delicious dishes today to celebrate, such as braised pork, steamed eggs with minced meat, ants climbing a tree and quick stir-fried vegetables.

She directed her eldest son from the side, asking him to wash the skin-on pork belly bought in the city to clean the blood, and then cut it into mahjong-sized pieces. A pot of cold water has been prepared on the stove. Put the pork belly in and blanch two slices of ginger to remove the flavor.

After the meat is blanched, drain the water and now it’s time to stir-fry the sugar color. Because on the day of the Chen family's reunion dinner during the Dragon Boat Festival, Chen Dafu made braised pork ribs once, and he roughly knew some of the process.

He scooped up a small spoonful of lard, poured in the brown sugar and slowly melted it. When the sugar began to bubble, he poured in the pork belly and quickly stir-fried to evenly color.

Chen Changsheng handed him the prepared ginger slices, star anise, bay leaves, dried chili peppers and other spices, poured them into the pot, then poured a little cooking wine to stimulate the aroma, and finally added a little dark soy sauce and stir-fried to make all the meat pieces cooked. Color.

"Mom, can we add water now?" Chen Dafu scooped up a gourd of cold water and was about to pour it in, but Chen Changsheng stopped him.

She said, "You need to add boiling water to cook the meat. Let the water cover the meat before you start stewing it. It will take about half an hour. You keep an eye on the heat here, and remember to open it during this period. If the water is low, add some boiling water." ." [The author has added cold water to beef stew several times, and the meat has become hard]

They are cooking here, and the three children over there are not lazy. Sixi is carefully preparing the meal for the big ox - fresh grass. Erlu and Sanshou are responsible for wiping the car inside and outside carefully. Again.

The children work hard while secreting saliva

Smelling the fragrant smell of meat in the pot and the evening sunlight shining slantingly on the yard, Chen Changsheng suddenly felt that these ancient days were not as uncomfortable as they were at the beginning.

At least the air is fresh and the sky is blue. At night, because there are no bright lights, you can actually see the long-lost stars. Except for a few annoying ones, most people in the village are very simple.

The next dish was steamed eggs with minced meat. The recipe was very simple. Chen Changsheng secretly bought three eggs in his bracelet and pretended to go to the chicken coop before taking them out.

The chickens and ducks in the henhouse were all well fed, especially the two hens who were so full that they had no choice but to let Chen Changsheng stuff the eggs in under their noses.

"Sanshou, come and help me take a look. The hen seems to have laid eggs." She called back.

"Mom, I'm coming!"

Sanshou immediately put down the rag in his hand and ran over. He gently picked up the hen with both hands, and sure enough, there were three eggs lying quietly underneath.

"These chickens are really good for you. They have begun to lay three eggs. Mom plans to make steamed eggs with minced meat to satisfy your craving tonight." Chen Changsheng took the eggs back with a calm expression.

Chen Sanshou was so proud, "That's not true. I drove them all into the ground today according to mother's instructions. As soon as each one entered the ground, they became fierce and ate them loudly. When they were full, I gave them to them. They rushed to the shore without damaging the rice."

"How many acres of land did they eat today?"

"One acre." Chen Sanshou planned to drive the chickens to other acres tomorrow to continue eating until they were full.

Chen Changsheng was thinking in his mind. With a total of forty chickens at home, plus two hens and two ducks, he could only catch insects from one acre of land in a day. There aren't too many locusts at the moment. If there were more, these chickens and ducks wouldn't be able to catch an acre of land in a day.

Looks like I need to buy some more chickens and ducks before I can chicken you too hard.

The braised pork in the pot was simmering, and it was estimated that it would take another half an hour. Chen Changsheng said, "You take these three eggs to the stove, be careful not to break them. I told Uncle Zheng on the last trip. Go home and be back soon."
