Chapter 121 Delicious
After hearing what Zhang said, Brother Yun continued to light the fire.
"Second brother, the fire doesn't need to be too big. Just keep the water in the pot boiling." Zhang instructed.
"Okay, Mom, I understand." Second Brother Yun agreed.
After Zhang finished speaking, she went to the donkey cart and took down half a basket of cotton with cotton seeds. She and Brother Yun started picking cotton next to the donkey cart.
Yun Yiyi and Yun Sange looked at each other and neither of them went to help. The cotton seeds were not big and it was troublesome to pick them. Yun Yiyi and Yun Sange were not willing to do such a patience-testing job.
Zhang didn't call them either. Yun Yiyi and Yun Sange sat in front of the stove, watching Yun Erge make fire.
Brother Yun kept the fire burning for about an hour. In the middle, Zhang added water to the pot to prevent it from drying up.
"Second brother, it's almost time, no need to add any more firewood." Zhang shouted.
"I understand, mother." Brother Yun replied.
"Yiyi, you and your third brother, go see why your father hasn't come back yet? If your father is in a meeting, there's no need to call him. You two can come back first and we can eat first."
"Got it, mother."
"We'll go now, mother."
After Brother Yun San finished speaking, he pulled Yun Yiyi into the woods. Before they reached the place, they met Yun the Butcher and Old Man Wu who were walking back.
"Dad, Mom asked Yiyi and I to call you back for dinner." said Third Brother Yun.
"Okay, let's go back together." After saying that, Yun the Butcher took Yun Yiyi's hand and walked out of the woods.
"Dad, Grandpa Wu, did you have a meeting? It felt like you were gone for a long time." Yun Yiyi looked up at Yun the Butcher and asked curiously.
"Yes, I discussed some things with the village chief, and it became a little late as we were talking." Yun the Butcher said embarrassedly.
"Yiyi, I'm sorry to bother your father today mainly because of my family's affairs. I hope I won't delay your dinner tonight?" Old Man Wu said in a low voice.
"Grandpa Wu, there's no need to delay. Let me tell you, Grandpa Wu, your grandmother gave my family a piece of bacon. After it's cooked, it smells so good."
"I heard from grandma that you asked her to give it to me. Thank you so much." Yun Yiyi said happily in a low voice.
"That's nothing, Yiyi. My family is a hunter family, so we have no shortage of meat. After you finish eating, ask your grandma to bring you more." Old Man Wu touched Yun Yiyi's head and said happily.
"Brother Wu, you are too polite. Don't do this next time. We have run out of meat and have nowhere to buy more. Especially since you have many children in your family." Yun the butcher said politely.
"Brother Yun, don't worry. I have a lot of meat at home, enough to eat." Old man Wu said nonchalantly.
"Grandpa Wu, my mother gave grandma the pickled cabbage she made, as well as the pickled peppers and ginger we bought in Fucheng. Go back and try them. Are they delicious?"
"Yiyi, this is a great gift from your mother. I'm craving for that kimchi now. The kimchi I make at home doesn't taste good, I don't like it." Old Man Wu said embarrassedly.
"Brother Wu, if you like it, ask my sister-in-law to come to my house to get some. I still have a lot. To be honest, I knew my mother-in-law was good at pickling kimchi before I got married."
"My wife's cooking skills were taught to her by my mother-in-law. Don't worry, it will be delicious." Yun the Butcher said happily.
"That's great. When we settle down, let your sister-in-law learn more from my sister-in-law. Your sister-in-law cooks delicious food, but her kimchi pickling skills are really bad."
"That's absolutely no problem, Brother Wu." Yun the Butcher agreed immediately.
Yun Yiyi and the others were talking, and soon they arrived at the place. Old Man Wu went back to his own home. Yun Yiyi and Third Brother Yun ran to wash their hands, and then waited at the dining table.
Zhang watched Yun the butcher come back. She picked up all the cakes in the pot and put them into a basin, and brought the steamed eggs with chili pepper to the dining table.
Then, Zhang fished out the bacon, cut it into thin slices, and put it on the plate. The bacon filled up the entire plate.
Brother Yun has already poured the mung bean soup into the bowl.
Then, everyone sat down and started eating. The bacon was very fragrant and not at all woody. After taking a bite, I could feel the fragrance of bacon in my mouth.
After the pot cake was heated, it became much softer and was just right for the mouth, without much effort on the teeth. Yun Yiyi had no trouble eating it.
The mung bean soup was cooked to a high temperature, and the mung beans were all blooming. It tasted sticky and very fragrant. The steamed egg with pepper was also very delicious, sour and spicy.
Everyone ate quietly. After walking all afternoon, everyone was already hungry. Besides, there was meat to eat tonight.
"Everyone eat as much as you can. Eat up all the bacon and don't leave any. Let's do this again next time and use our own meat." Zhang said in a low voice.
"Yes, listen to your mother. Eat all the meat, and cook our own meat next time. Our own meat is also delicious after being smoked." Yun the butcher also whispered.
"Mom, Dad, you are so nice." Brother Yun San said happily.
"Mom, this meat is so delicious. I want to eat it again next time." Yun Yiyi also expressed her opinion.
"Mom, I love to eat anything as long as it's meat."
"Mom, I have the same idea as my elder brother."
Listening to the children talking to each other, Yun the Butcher and Zhang laughed while eating. As long as the children like to eat, as long as there is meat at home, they can eat it anytime, there is no need to be too frugal. This is the common idea of Yun the Butcher and Zhang.
After Old Man Wu returned home, his wife and two daughters-in-law prepared dinner. He washed his hands and sat down to eat.
He looked at the table, where there was a large pot of Chinese cabbage and cured pork ribs, as well as a plate of pickled peppers and ginger. The pickled peppers and ginger looked pretty in color and smelled spicy and sour.
The staple food is a large bowl of baked pancakes, and the bowl is filled with boiled water.
"Here, try this cabbage stewed with cured pork ribs quickly and see if it's delicious. This was given to me by my neighbor's sister-in-law. Here's a plate of pickled peppers and ginger." said the old lady Li.
"Yiyi told me on the way. I'll try it now." After saying that, Old Man Wu picked up a piece of cabbage with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. It was fragrant, crispy, and a little sour. It was very delicious and appetizing. Then he picked up a piece of pork ribs.
The ribs are very fragrant, not greasy at all, and have the sour taste of sauerkraut.
"My dear, you should try it too. The cabbage is delicious, and the cured pork ribs are delicious too. It tastes different from what we had before. But I like this flavor." Old Man Wu said happily.
The old lady Li listened to what Old Man Wu said, and she also picked up some cabbage and cured pork ribs to eat. It was indeed as Old Man Wu said, the taste was very good. Oh, Zhang's skill in pickling kimchi is really good.
