When Xu Yi was going to see him in his uncle's room, uncle took Brother Cao into the warm room, his hair was combed neatly again, and he changed into a new set of maroon cotton robes. He looked much more energetic .

"Uncle, I thought you were asleep, and I was thinking of sending some food to your room." Xu Yi carefully observed Uncle's expression, and went up to hold his arm to act like a spoiled child.

Uncle patted the back of his hand and said gratifiedly: "I let you worry about it. Uncle thought about it just now. I was confused for a while. It's New Year's Eve, which will cause trouble for you."

"It's okay, uncle, it's good if you figure it out. Uncle will be happy only if you and Xu Hua are happy. The better we live, the better uncle can rest assured."

Uncle breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "Yes, he left early. After more than ten years, I have become a youngest child. Now that Xu Hua is older, you and Qin Hao are also fighting. I am Happy."

"Uncle, how old are you? Last time we went to the county seat, people thought you were my elder brother." Uncle is 35 years old, but he is actually still very young, but he usually treats himself as the youngest, and dresses maturely and steadily. Lord, I seem to be five or six years old abruptly.

Uncle couldn't help laughing out loud: "Just your sweet mouth, changing ways to make your uncle happy is really my joy."

"Hehe, what I'm telling is the truth. If you don't believe me, you can ask Brother Hao, Brother Cao, Xu Hua, Xu Wei, they all think so." Xu Yi also relaxed when he saw his uncle's smile, A wisecrack comes out of nowhere.

Brother Cao covered his mouth and snickered, and took the opportunity to strike up a conversation and assist: "Uncle, Brother Yi is right, why are you the youngest, you look like our brother, there is no barrier between me and Brother Yi chatting with you, We can all talk about it.”

"Okay, okay, don't give me ecstasy soup anymore, I'm going to faint from beauty." The uncle held the hands of the two, and the last bit of bitterness in his heart disappeared. The children in the family are filial and sensible, and he still has What can't be imagined.

The three little guys didn't have the sensibility to chat with buddies at all, and the three pairs of eyes were staring at the two big pizzas on the table, ready to move, Xu Hua knocked on the table, and said helplessly: "Ah, can you guys talk about it later, we Let’s eat pizza, it’s going to be cold.”

"You gluttons, it's no wonder people say that little brothers are all sweet padded jackets, and little guys are born to collect debts."

"Uncle, we are really hungry, so please sit down and have lunch first. If you don't eat, my brother-in-law won't let us eat." Xu Wei lay weakly on the table, with the same style as him. Xu Shan with an expression on his face also shot innocent eyes at his uncle pitifully.

Uncle was amused all of a sudden, and finally opened the chair and sat down, picked up a piece of pizza, and ordered: "Let's eat."

Several pairs of chopsticks scrambled to reach into the plate, Xu Yi first picked a piece for Xu Shan, and then started to eat with peace of mind, there was only the sound of chewing on the table, and the little guys were so caught up in the delicious pizza that they had no time to talk.

"Slow down, no one will grab you." Xu Yi put the milk beside Xu Shan, for fear that he would choke.

While stuffing pizza into his mouth, Xu Shan took the time to respond to his brother: "Brother Hua and Brother [-] eat a lot, and if I slow down, there will be nothing left."

"There are two plates today, enough to eat. Don't worry, your brother-in-law left you two yuan." Xu Yi couldn't laugh or cry, the half-sized man ate me to death, and the two young men in the family were really amazing when they ate food. No wonder Xu Shan was worried that both of them would eat up the food.

Qin Hao took a plate, put two pieces on it, and moved it in front of Xu Shan: "Don't worry, I leave these two pieces to you, brother-in-law is watching, they dare not eat yours."

Only then was Xu Shan completely relieved, slowed down, and started eating slowly. He was still in the mood to play the drawing game, biting a bite of the pizza, and the baked and melted cheese was stretched long, reluctant to break it easily.

"Brother Hao, eat two extra yuan. Don't get too used to Xu Hua and Xu Wei. Now they eat so well every day. They can't go hungry. There are also a lot of snacks and snacks at home. The two of them never stopped talking." Qin Hao also eats a lot, but habitually let the children in the family, Xu Yi felt sorry for her husband, and put two pieces for him.

Qin Hao held Xu Yi's hand under the table, and scratched his palm with his fingers. On the surface, he was bright and upright: "Today's food is enough, I didn't let them, and you three brothers should eat more."

"Brother, you are exaggerating. How could Xu Hua and I eat so much? What about Uncle and Brother Cao? What kind of eyes do you two have? It really hurts me." Xu You felt that Xu Hua and he were too I was wronged, it was because I was in a hurry and was excluded by everyone, especially my brother, who blatantly favored my brother-in-law.

The uncle took a piece of pizza for Xu Hua and Xu Wei each, and smoothed things over with a smothered smile: "Okay, we all wronged you two, don't be angry, this year's Chinese New Year's Eve, the more you eat, the luckier you will be."

"Does uncle still love me?" Xu Wei wanted to take the opportunity to reprimand his brother, but glanced at his brother-in-law who was eating silently next to his brother, his desire to survive soared, and he immediately confessed to be safe.

In the end, I ate up the two large plates of pizza. Xu Hua and Xu Wei were full. They walked slowly around the yard to digest their food. At night, they had to eat hot pot, and they had to make big dumplings at night. ah.

The hot pot needs to prepare more than ten or twenty dishes. At the end of the day, the three brothers began to choose and wash the vegetables. There is a greenhouse at home. The vegetables in the vegetable field are growing gratifyingly, and the green vegetables are harvested one after another. The fresh leeks, radishes and yams with thick arms, the gherkins that can squeeze out the water, and the seasonal winter bamboo shoots are all the freshest ingredients tonight.

Sea squash, dried fungus, and all kinds of mushrooms were soaked in a large pot. Qin Hao knew that Xu Yi liked to eat kidneys, so he went to the county to buy four pairs of pork kidneys and a can of pig blood. The city collected a few catties of goose and duck intestines, fish maw and fish bubbles, and then brought four catties of mutton and two big fish heads, and they all worked together.

The pork and beef at home were made into meatballs, which were tender and tender, and filled several large bowls. Qin Hao took out a kitchen knife, took out the frozen mutton and pork belly, cut them into thin slices, and rolled them up automatically. , Arranged on the plate, like hibiscus flowers blooming layer upon layer, it is really beautiful.

The most important thing to eat hot pot is the bottom material and the broth. Uncle starts to boil the old hen soup at noon, boil it on high heat until the bones and flesh separate, then turn to low heat and simmer for several hours until the flesh and bone are melted.

Although the spices that can be found are less than those in modern times, and the butter can only be replaced by lard, Qin Hao is still confident that he can cook a pot of good ingredients. When he puts the processed spices and peppers into lard and vegetable oil , The spicy smell erupted like a domineering volcano, and the people in the greenhouse choked to tears and noses.

"I can't do it anymore, brother Hao. Although it smells delicious, how can we eat a pot of spicy red oil? Let's go out and avoid it first." Xu Yi, who had always believed in Qin Hao, also began to doubt that hot pot would really be delicious. ?

Qin Hao covered his mouth and nose with a cotton cloth, and waved his hands to let them go out first. It is useless to say anything now. When they eat, they will understand how ecstasy the taste of hot pot is.

"Brother Yi, let's make the dumplings first. In case Qin Hao's hot pot can't be eaten, we can have the dumplings in time." Uncle Wang looked worried and tried to test it.

Xu Yi pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Let's make the dumplings first. It doesn't matter if the dumplings are finished. Anyway, we have to make them at night, but it's just a little earlier."

The three brothers were secretly making dumplings in the main room. Today, they prepared four fillings, mushroom pork, scallion lamb, celery shrimp and leek eggs, implying auspiciousness in the four seasons.

After Qin Hao fried the bottom ingredients and put them into the custom-made mandarin duck pot, in the main room, the three brothers and the three little men had already made a plate of dumplings. There were one or two hundred dumplings. The dumplings lay together and looked quite spectacular.

Qin Hao went out to look for someone, and found that the whole family was busy in the main room, talking softly, afraid that he would find out, and suddenly wanted to scare them.

"What are you doing here?" Qin Hao suddenly called out, causing the people in the hall to stare in shock, not knowing how to react for a moment.

Xu Yi stabilized his mind, and said seemingly unintentionally: "Everyone is free, so I thought about making the dumplings first, so as not to be in a hurry and running out of time."

"I thought you guys thought my hot pot base was not tasty, so you didn't want to eat hot pot at night." Qin Hao was sad, with a frustrated look on his face.

Seeing that he has worked hard for more than an hour to prepare spices and stir-fries, and now he still has a strong spicy smell, he can't bear it: "Why don't we eat hot pot, we have been looking forward to it, especially Brother Yi, who made dumplings just now I have always said that it smells very fragrant when it is fried, and it must be delicious.”

"Yes, brother Hao, let's go eat hot pot now." Xu Yi winked at everyone, took Xiaoshan's hand, and walked towards the greenhouse with dignity.

The others gritted their teeth and followed obligingly. At worst, they should drink more water, and Qin Hao's (brother-in-law) efforts should not be wasted. That pot of big ingredients is worth one or two taels of silver.

In the warm room, the mandarin duck pot is placed on the table, and the small round pot inside is filled with broth. Red wolfberry and red dates are floating on the golden soup. This pot of soup is delicious.

The problem is the red oil pan surrounding the outside. Various spices and peppers are soaked in hot oil, which is very scary at first glance.

Qin Hao put the pot on the stove to heat up, and arranged the dozen or so vegetables that his buddies had cut and put on plates. Put the meat roll in the red pot, and when the meat changes color, pick it up and dip it in the sesame oil dish, the long-lost spicy taste explodes in the mouth instantly, straight to the forehead, one word, cool!

"Try it too." Qin Hao picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks, put it in the oil dish, and fed it to Xu Yi's mouth.

Xu Yi closed his eyes, and ate the red-hued meat into his mouth as if death was at home, thinking in his heart, no matter how it tasted, he should cheer loudly.
