After passing through the dense forest, they arrived at the foot of the mountain in a short time.

It was already past 11 o'clock in the morning, and the weather was no longer as cold as in the early morning, but the sun was out.

Walking on the flat ground, feeling the faint warmth, Xu Ziqi hummed a little song all the way.

Before he reached home, he saw his grandparents waiting in front of the door from a distance.

So he quickened his pace, and ran to his grandparents amid the voices of his parents, "Slow down, don't run so fast."

"Grandpa and grandma, I'm back." Xu Ziqi said loudly.

"Well, go in."

Looking at the grandson carrying a hoe in one hand and smiling, the old lady kindly wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then pulled him in.

The old man followed behind with his hands behind his back.

Back to the living room of the old house, Xu Ziqi saw a table moved to the center of the house, and on the table, there were meals for ancestor worship.

Xu Ziqi took a look and saw the standard boiled chicken and various vegetarian dishes.

The vegetarian dishes were placed on the periphery, while the boiled chicken was in the middle.

The vegetarian dishes were arranged casually, just randomly placed on the plate, but they were bright in color and looked appetizing.

As for the boiled chicken, it tucked in its wings, closed its eyes and tilted its head back, posing in a graceful and charming posture, as if telling everyone that it was the protagonist of the day.

"Grandma, did you make all these dishes?" Xu Ziqi turned around and asked the old lady.

The old lady smiled and nodded, "Well, except for the chicken that your grandfather cooked, the rest were cooked by grandma."

Xu Ziqi gave the old lady a thumbs up, "Grandma is really amazing. She can still cook such a large table of dishes at such an old age."

After that, he turned around and praised the old man, "Grandpa, you cooked this chicken well. It looks really good."

The old man also smiled, "Not only does it look good, it's also delicious. You haven't eaten the white-cut chicken made by grandpa for a long time."

Xu Ziqi nodded.

This is the truth. In recent years, he has eaten the white-cut chicken made by Liang Sufen during the Chinese New Year. He hasn't tasted the white-cut chicken made by grandpa for a long time.

He still remembers that when he was a child, every Chinese New Year and festival, grandpa would cook a white-cut chicken himself, and then call him as soon as it was cooked.

Xu Ziqi always moved a small stool and sat next to him obediently, watching grandpa's operation carefully, and swallowing his saliva while watching.

Grandpa always cut a big chicken leg and handed it to him first, and then cut a big chicken wing after he finished eating.

A big chicken leg and a big chicken wing, with the special dipping sauce for white-cut chicken, Xu Ziqi always eats with his mouth full of oil.

At this time, his grandfather will smile and watch from the side, as if watching his grandson eat with big mouthfuls is the happiest thing for him.

And when he finishes eating, the rice cooked with chicken fat in the big pot is also cooked.

At this time, grandma will call him to eat the rice crust.

Take out the rice cooked in the big pot, sprinkle a little oil and a little salt on the rice crust, and no other seasoning is needed. It can be served after it is smooth and even.

The slightly burnt rice crust is matched with the special aroma of chicken oil, and the color and aroma are particularly tempting.

Xu Ziqi drools every time.

When grandma shovels the rice crust into the plate, he can't wait to take the small plate, sit on the small stool and eat it greedily, and sigh while eating that it is really too fragrant.

In the end, he often finishes a large part of the rice crust by himself.

It was not until his sister was born and reached the age to compete with him for food that he would share some of the rice crust.

And disappearing with the rice crust were the big chicken legs and wings on the other side of the white-cut chicken.

Their owner was a cute little girl.

The brother and sister were immersed in the food made by the two old people.

The two small stools beside the two old people also became witnesses of the brother and sister eating together.

After Xu Gaoyi and Liang Sufen came in, Xu Ziqi also took out the roast suckling pig.

This is the protagonist of today, and other dishes have to serve as a foil to it.

The roast suckling pig was served on the table, and the position of the dishes was adjusted, and then the ancestor worship ceremony was carried out.

Since he only participated in the ancestor worship once a year, Xu Ziqi was not very skilled. But fortunately, with Xu Gaoyi's guidance, he only had to follow.

As the three incense sticks slowly extinguished, the ceremony was declared over.

The time was now past 12 o'clock, and everyone was a little hungry at this time.

They worked together to put away the things used for ancestor worship, and Xu Ziqi took the roast suckling pig to cut it.

After some work, the family finally sat down around the table.

After pouring drinks for the family, Xu Ziqi picked up a piece of roast suckling pig and put it in the old lady's bowl.

"Grandma, try this roast suckling pig, it's delicious."

"Well, you try it too."

The old lady smiled and nodded, and thenXu Ziqi picked it up under his expectant gaze.

The red skin was particularly attractive and looked very appetizing.

The old lady put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly.

Her teeth were not very good, so Xu Ziqi specially picked up a tender piece for her.

The roast suckling pig was not freshly baked this time, and it had been a long time, so Xu Ziqi simply heated it up, so the taste might not be so perfect.

But even so, it still made a "crunching" sound as the old lady chewed, and a light juice came out with this sound.

This juice was not greasy, but extremely delicious. After Xu Ziqi's special preparation, it was perfectly integrated with the roast suckling pig, exuding an extremely tempting taste.

After taking a light bite, the old lady was a little surprised.

It's not that she hasn't eaten roast suckling pig before. Her son would occasionally bring it back when he worshiped his ancestors.

But this roast suckling pig was nothing like the previous ones.

First of all, the texture of the skin is completely different from the previous roast suckling pig, which is hard to bite off. Instead, it can break in the mouth with a light bite, and then burst out with delicious taste.

This crispness is a mixture of sweet and salty flavors, but it does not conflict at all. Instead, it complements each other and brings a perfect taste called a match made in heaven.

The second is the taste of the meat.

The piece that Xu Ziqi picked is particularly tender, not salty or light, and not very juicy, but everything is just right.

Combined with the slightly crispy appearance, take a bite, without too much effort to chew, the ultimate deliciousness fills the whole mouth, bringing an extremely enjoyable dining experience.
