A layman in the courtyard

Chapter 18
"Big dog, fill the big iron pot half full with cold water."

"Er Gouzi, put the chopped dog meat into the pot."

"Xiaoyu, put the sliced ​​ginger into the pot."

Then Cao Zhihua opened a bottle of Erguotou, poured half of the bottle into the big iron pot to remove the smell, and covered the pot.

"Okay, Xiaoyu, light the torch and call me when the water boils."

After pasting the couplets, Cao Zhihua began to instruct the three little ones to make braised dog meat.

Cao Zhihua's method of braised dog meat is a Hunan cuisine method. It pays attention to a spicy and flavourful way. It will hit your head after one bite. The more you eat, the spicier it becomes. The spicier it is, the more you want to eat it. The aftertaste is endless.

Wait for 1 minute after the water in the iron pot boils.Cao Zhihua directed the three little ones to take out all the meat, wash it with cold water in a large iron basin, and drain the water.

"Xiaoyu, turn up the fire."

Then I looked at the bottle of rapeseed oil. There was probably more than 1 kilogram of rapeseed oil in it.

Cao Zhihua put all the rapeseed oil into a large iron pot, brought the oil to a boil, and put more than 20 kilograms of drained dog meat into the large iron pot to cook the aroma.

After the dog meat is fragrant, add ginger slices, dried chili peppers, five spices, cinnamon, and half a bottle of Erguotou, cook for 1 minute, then put the cut radish and water into a large iron pot, cover it, and cook like this Wait for 1 hour, wait until all the water in the pot is boiled dry, and the juice is collected, then you can eat it. (Readers can give it a try and follow this recipe to ensure it tastes delicious and will be unforgettable for a lifetime.)
"Xiaoyu, just light a small fire next. Don't make the fire too big. Also, pay attention to the water in the pot and call me when it's almost dry. Brother, let's warm up the fire first."

Xiaoyu's sweet voice came, "Okay, brother, you go and rest first."

Lou Xiao'e probably didn't sleep well last night, so Cao Zhihua made a cup of jasmine tea. When he came to the sofa, he saw Lou Xiao'e dozing off on the fire cage. He moved over and held the dozing Lou Xiao'e in his arms.

Although Cao Zhihua is young now and can't do anything, his thoughts and mentality are that of an adult.

In his previous life, Cao Zhihua liked to have ambiguous affairs with all kinds of beautiful women. He was a person who followed his facial features, and he really enjoyed this feeling of ambiguity and flirting.

Therefore, Cao Zhihua, who was holding Lou Xiao'e, felt very satisfied, as if he had returned to the days of attracting bees and butterflies in his previous life, where he was obsessed with money and paper. For him, that was the comfortable life he wanted.

Sure enough, I am a rotten person. I was corrupted by the sugar-coated bullets of capitalism in my previous life. Even though I have been reincarnated in time and space, I still miss that life deeply.

In this era, there is really no entertainment to pass the time in Forty-Nine City.

Cao Zhihua hugged the sleeping Lou Xiao'e, sipping tea and wandering around in the sky, lamenting that he had to rely on imagination to pass the time, and it was a boring life.

It's a pity that the real society is always so helpless, and you won't be able to do whatever you want.

As I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw Lou Xiaoe wrinkle her nose and inhale. Then she opened her eyes and found herself in Cao Zhihua's arms, covering her face with her hands cutely.

Cao Zhihua was very surprised to see Lou Xiao'e looking so cute. He held Lou Xiao'e's head with both hands and put his mouth directly on it.

"Uh-uh-"

After letting go of his mouth, Cao Zhihua used an extremely gentle tone,

"Ezi, wake up. Does your man's waking up bite feel good?"

Lou Xiao'e blushed with embarrassment and lay her face in Cao Zhihua's arms without saying a word.

"Okay, Ezi, do you smell the aroma? We're going to eat soon. Let's try your husband's cooking to see if it tastes good."

"Well, it smells so good, the whole house is filled with fragrance."

Cao Zhihua smiled, not only was the fragrance filling the house, but even the neighbors could smell it in the yard.

"Yeah, let's get ready too. Come on, put on your cotton-padded jacket. We won't catch a cold later."

"Well, let's go out and play in the afternoon after dinner?"

Cao Zhihua said sweetly:

"For me, as long as you are there, it is the fairy world. I only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals. No matter where you want to go, I will accompany you."

Lou Xiao'e's face was full of happiness and she said happily:
"Um"

"Brother, brother, the water in the pot is almost dry."

"Okay, I'll be here soon."

Then he pulled Lou Xiao'e up and said, "Ezi, let's go to eat."

"Ok"

When he came to the kitchen, Cao Zhihua saw that the soup in the big iron pot had only a little juice left. Then he asked Da Gouzi to bring the stove over, put the big iron pot on the stove with a rag, and picked it up. Chopsticks, ready to eat directly.

Cao Zhihua picked up a piece of dog meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it.The fresh, fragrant, spicy, dog meat smell entered his throat, and Cao Zhihua took a breath
"It's cool. It tastes like this. It's delicious."

Lou Xiao'e saw Cao Zhihua's exaggerated expression and asked curiously, "Is it really so delicious?"

"It's delicious. You should try it quickly."

"Okay, I'll try"

The reason why Hunan cuisine is good is not that it is spicy as soon as you eat it, but that it becomes spicier the more you eat it, and the spicier it becomes, the more you want to eat it.

A family of five gathered around the big iron pot, picking up vegetables faster and faster, and everyone was addicted to it.

"Hi~hoo~his~hoo, brother, I'm so hot."

"Hi~hoo, brother, it's delicious, but it's too spicy." Cao Zhihua also enjoyed the spicy food. "We are too young to drink. To eat dog meat, we have to eat meat and drink alcohol to satisfy ourselves."

Lou Xiao'e couldn't stop eating and didn't want to talk at all.

More than 20 kilograms of meat and about 10 kilograms of radishes, five people were left with nothing but oily soup for half an hour.

Xiaoyu hissed and said, "Brother, put the oil soup in a bowl and eat it with steamed buns tonight. It must be delicious."

Just kidding, throwing away more than a pound of broth made from rapeseed oil and dog meat would be a crime.

"Okay, that's it. Let's eat steamed buns and meat buns tonight."

"Okay, big brother."

The meal was so enjoyable that Lou Xiaoe didn't even mention going out to play. She held her stomach a little and planned to lie down on the sofa to warm herself up by the fire. She didn't want to move at all.

Cao Zhihua lifted the stove into the fire cage after eating, sat down with Lou Xiao'e and said:
"Big Gouzi, make me and Sister Xiao'e two cups of jasmine tea."

"Okay, big brother, let's get wet right away."

Cao Zhihua put his legs on the fire cage and lay on the sofa with his arms around Lou Xiao'e

"Ezi, how is your man's cooking? Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious. This is the best meat I've ever eaten."

"Hahaha, it tastes delicious. You have to be a good boy from now on and follow me to enjoy the happiness. Do you understand?"

Lou Xiao'e said proudly

"Who knows whether it will be hardship or happiness."

Cao Zhihua took a look and said, "Hey, this is so outrageous. We can't let this happen."

He tightened his hands on Lou Xiao'e's shoulders and said proudly:
"Anyway, don't think about running away in this life. You are my little wife who enjoys happiness, and she is also my little wife who endures hardships. Don't forget, I stamped it for you, hahaha."

Lou Xiao'e arched her head against Cao Zhihua, "Huh, I'm on a pirate ship."

"This is a heart-stealing ship. There is no place to get off after getting on."

"I can still jump into the river."

"Humph, that's not up to you."

Cao Zhihua held Lou Xiao'e's face and put it directly on his mouth,
"Uh-uh-"

Lou Xiao'e finally managed to free her mouth.

"I'm out of breath."

"That must be your lack of exercise. Come on, let's continue. You need to exercise more."

"Uh~uh~uh"

Cao Zhihua felt that Lou Xiao'e's body was completely limp and felt that he could not continue. If he continued, something would really happen.

Then he let go of his mouth and looked at Lou Xiao'e tenderly without speaking.

For a long time, Lou Xiao'e felt embarrassed and lay on Cao Zhihua's chest with her head buried.

"Why haven't I thought you were such a bad person before?"

"It didn't feel like we were studying together every day before. This time I went to my hometown in the countryside and stayed for a long time. I haven't seen you for so long. I feel like there is a missing piece in my heart. I miss you every day."

"So I came to see you immediately when I returned to Sijiu City."

"I don't know how happy I am when I see you."

"I feel like I've been poisoned by you. Only when you are by my side can I detoxify."

"I found myself deeply in love with you, so I want to be with you for the rest of my life, otherwise I will die."

When Lou Xiao'e heard Cao Zhihua's affectionate confession, she felt like she was drunk, and her whole body was filled with sweetness. "You are not allowed to die, and we will all be well."

"Well, getting your favor is the happiest thing in my life. I won't die, and I can't bear to die. We will be fine. We will be fine all our lives."

Lou Xiao'e narrowed her eyes sweetly, "Yeah~"

The three little ones were very discerning. When they saw Cao Zhihua and Lou Xiao'e sticking together and whispering, they sneaked into the room to hide and play.

Cao Zhihua and Lou Xiao'e spent a happy afternoon together. When sending Lou Xiao'e off, Lou Xiao'e said reluctantly, "Stinky Zhihua, you have to come see me soon."

"Well, tomorrow is New Year's Eve and the second day of the Lunar New Year. I will take my brothers and sisters to your house to pay Uncle Lou a New Year greeting and visit you."

"Well, we agreed, remember to come early."

"Okay, be sure to come early."
