Delicious Delicacy of the Demon Spirit

As the sun sinks, it sprinkles the afterglow on the lake, and the golden-red sparkle dazzles people's eyes.The restaurant lights up, the boats dock, and the crowd changes wave after wave, but they are still playing.

The residential houses by the lake have already raised the smoke from the kitchen, and Ah Liao is shaking the oar, singing the evening song of returning home with the long creaking water that is gently pushed away.

"It's here." Ah Liao leaned on the oar to pull the boat closer to the pier, jumped ashore, took the hemp rope and tied it to the post, twisted it around and tied it tightly.

Li Kuer yawned, rubbed his eyes, and fell asleep on the low table at some point.Xiao Qu also looked like she had just woken up, half of her face was reddened, obviously she hadn't recovered yet, she just sat there motionless.

"The two of you can really sleep, get off the boat soon, you're going to eat." Ah Chu pushed their heads and jumped off the boat first.He Weiran took a look at them, and followed them off the boat, first went to the front yard to help A Liao Niang make pork belly.

Li Ku'er stood up staggeringly, picked up Xiaoqu again, and the two drowsy people washed their faces in the lake water, and after being blown by the evening wind that receded a little of the summer heat, they finally woke up a lot.

In the front yard, the table has been rolled out.Ah Liao's father came back early after selling the lotus pods, and was harvesting the lotus seeds and salted fish that were drying in the yard.Ah Liao was setting the stools and bowls and chopsticks, and Ah Liao brought the dishes from the kitchen to the table one by one, calling them to sit down quickly.Ah Liao finished setting the dishes and went in to help grandma come out. Several people sat down one after another, only Ah Bu and his future daughter-in-law were left behind.Gradually, a strong smell of meat came from the kitchen, the smell of braised pork, wafting in the yard, making everyone's mouths salivate and their stomachs beating drums.

Ah Liao's father took two jars out from the back room, and said to Ah Liao, "Go to the alley and have a look, why hasn't your brother come back?"

Ah Liao immediately ran out to have a look, if he sat down again he would starve to death.

Not long after, Ah Liao Niang happily came out with a bowl of braised pork, but saw that the braised pork was 16 yuan in total, cut into squares of even size, four pieces vertically and four pieces horizontally, neatly piled up to form a large box.And the skin, poured with a thick layer of dark red sugar juice, is crystal clear, just looking at it, it seems that you can already imagine the fragrant, smooth and tender taste.

Ah Liao Niang placed the braised pork in the center of the table, and said with a smile: "Thanks to Miss He, I can't cook such good meat." Turning around, she said in the direction of the stove: "Miss He, come out quickly Sit down, I have troubled you too much today, I am clearly here as a guest, and I asked you to cook."

"It's okay." He Weiran came out after washing his hands, and sat between Ah Chu and Grandma Ah Liao.

"You guys sit down first, I'll cook two more dishes." A Liao Niang said and went into the kitchen again, just like this, A Liao ran in.

"Okay, let's start dinner. My brother and Su Niang are here." While talking, Ah Bu and his future daughter-in-law also entered the courtyard.

According to Ah Liao just now, Ah Bu's future daughter-in-law is called Su Niang.Li Ku'er turned her head to look, she was the kind of person who was born extremely virtuous, and her appearance was often liked by the elders.Li Kuer felt that Ah Bu and Su Niang would live in peace if they were together.

Su Niang must have come back for the first time, she was very familiar with Ah Bu's family, she said hello to the elders one by one, and said hello to the four guests before she sat down beside Ah Liao.

"Okay, move your chopsticks." Ah Liao's father announced that dinner was served, and everyone immediately started to move.He greeted and opened the two jars he carried out earlier, and said: "Tonight I am watching the lotus festival. I have two jars of three-year-old lotus brew. Who wants to drink a bowl with me? Come on, Ah Bu should drink it." , Aniang also drink some, who else, Miss He, would you like to have a bowl?"

Ah Bu got up, took the wine jar from his father, saw He Weiran nodded, first poured a bowl for He Weiran, then poured some for grandma, then filled his father's bowl, and then told Ah Bu The four of them said, "Su Niang doesn't know how to drink, do you?"

Ah Liao shook her head, and reminded her brother: "Don't drink too much, we'll go steal water chestnuts later, and we'll go over into the lake."

As soon as Ah Chu heard that she was going to jump into the lake, she quickly waved her hands and said no. Although she didn't take the barrel boat, she was still afraid of getting dizzy.

Xiao Qu is not afraid of things, thinking that A Liao is there anyway, and she doesn't row a boat, so she handed over a bowl and said she wanted half a bowl.Li Ku'er drank wine when she was very young, and she had long forgotten what it tasted like. Looking at Xiao Qu next to her, and at He Weiran who was separated by Ah Chu, she stumbled into something evil and swelled up without reason ambition, said: "I only need a little."

"How much is a little bit?" Xiao Qu seemed to ask, but she was definitely making fun of her.She was not embarrassed either, and said with her thumb and index finger between her fingers, "One bowl bottom is fine."

After the wine was poured, A-Liao's father began to invite everyone to eat. He wanted to try that bowl of braised pork for a long time.He divided the braised pork into a round, and thanked He Weiran repeatedly. He Weiran couldn't bear his thanks, so he took the initiative to invite everyone to taste her cooking.

Li Ku'er drank the wine in the bowl, it was bitter and astringent and not good at all, regretted it.He took another bowl to pick up the meat. Just smelling the aroma, he seemed to forget the bitter taste just now.This braised pork is bright in color, burnt and fragrant. It is sweet and rich in one bite, and it is also very tasty. The fatty meat is oily but not greasy, and the lean meat is tender and not dry.

Li Kuer's appetite was whetted by the meat, and he still felt the smell of the meat lingering in his mouth even after eating several mouthfuls of rice.

Su Niang didn't know He Weiran's identity, so she tasted the braised pork, she couldn't help admiring it, and asked He Weiran for advice, saying that she would eat it with her family in the future.This family was naturally referring to Ah Liao's family, and the Jiang family who were present were all smiles and sighed that Ah Bu had married a good wife.

He Weiran did not hide his secrets, and explained the recipe of braised pork in detail. After the explanation was complete, it was dark.At first, everyone wondered why she was so generous and gave the cooking method to outsiders. After listening to it, they realized that no matter how detailed she said, it was just a formality. Without the experience of cooking and the skill of mastering the heat, it is impossible.

The same dish, the same method, and different cooks, it is really possible to make two flavors.

After everyone finished their meal, Ah Liao's father borrowed a wooden barrel boat next door, and tied it to the back of his own wooden boat.Ah Liao suggested to have a drink after coming back, just now he didn't drink a sip of lotus brew for boating, so he had to reward himself after returning, thanks to the water chestnut as an appetizer.Everyone agreed, and He Weiran was also happy. He silently went to the neighbor's house to buy a chicken, and asked Ah Liao to kill it. He said that he would cook a good dish, and he should thank them for their hospitality today.

Several people got on the boat, this time it was Ah Bu who rowed the boat, Ah Chu, Su Niang and Li Kuer sat on the boat, Ah Liao followed behind with Xiao Qu, and taught He Weiran how to row the barrel boat.

"Sister He, have you learned it?" Li Ku'er lay on the side of the boat, staring at He Weiran's every move with bitter hatred, don't worry, beauty is good, but there is only one life.He Weiran's hands and feet were quite awkward at first, but after carefully studying Ah Liao's movements, he was able to manipulate the oars in a decent manner after a while.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I've said it all, I won't drown you."

"Then... will you turn the corner then?"

"Turning? It's okay, I got stuck somewhere, and Ah Liao and the others are there."

"Ah? Why is this..."

"Ku'er, what are you afraid of? If something goes wrong, shout loudly. Ah Liao and I will come to rescue you."

"Xiao Qu, you are not kind, how can you be ashamed when you are on a boat with Ah Liao?"

"Huh? Ku'er doesn't seem to be willing to join me in the boat..."

"I did not mean that……"

Several people made fun of each other, and not long after, the boat had reached the edge of Lingtian.A Liao signaled everyone to keep quiet, so that the host would not find out, and then she was the first to untie the hemp rope for receiving the boat, throw it back into her own boat, and then paddled into the water chestnut field with a wooden paddle. .Ah Bu pulled He Weiran's wooden barrel boat closer, and helped Li Ku'er to step over it.The boat swayed back and forth like a drunk old man, Li Kuer was so frightened that he didn't dare to exert force on his feet, it took a long time to take a step, and he took off his strength little by little until he saw that the boat was stable before he dared to continue.

The wooden barrel boat was in the shape of ingots, and there was one person sitting on each side. Li Kuer was young and lost some weight. She always felt that the boat was not flat. It was not until Ah Bu put two stones on her side that it finally stabilized.The two also rowed away, but they didn't enter the center of Lingtian, but only picked at the edge.

Li Ku'er didn't dare to lean out at first, and went to the side of the boat to fish and fish, what was it, and what it was, he scooped it up and looked at it with the light of the fire in the distance. has been taken away.

"Look at you, your clothes are all wet." He Weiran didn't start picking, just looked at Li Kuer's appearance and wanted to laugh, lowered his voice and said: "I will stabilize the boat, you just go pick."

Li Ku'er was only able to react after hearing this, seeing that her body was wet, and it was extremely uncomfortable, and she immediately didn't want to do what she did before.Trying to lean out, the boat sank, but there was no great turmoil, so she felt relieved, and carefully searched for each plant, and soon she was at her fingertips.

"Sister He, look, we have so many, more than 30."

"Hehe, let's not be in a hurry. There are two little black-hearted ghosts, Ah Liao and Xiaoqu. If you pick them diligently, tomorrow the master will be crying."

"Ah?" Li Kuer put down the small water chestnut mountain in her hand, and turned to look for A Liao's boat. The two of them were so excited that they moved quickly, and they could faintly see the basket of red water chestnuts in their boat. It's all full.

"Oh, then I'd better not pick it." Li Ku'er withdrew her hand shyly, thinking that she had almost become a black-hearted ghost, and got carried away doing what a thief would do.

"Is that enough?" He Weiran blinked: "If you haven't played enough, you can pick some more."

"Enough is enough." Li Kuer waved his hand, not daring to take advantage of the master's family anymore.

"Okay then." He Weiran suddenly smiled again, with a bit of cunning hidden in the smile: "I'll take you to find something good."
