Chapter 52 Old Chai's Chicken
The breeze is blowing.
The firewood is strong in the stone stove, and the large iron pot stewed with dog meat slowly overflows with the aroma of medicinal materials and dog meat. The fire is flying in the soil nest more than half a person tall next to it, constantly roasting the soil blocks on it. As the flames are roasted, the soil blocks turn from yellow to red, and then from red to black, slowly turning gray and white.
Yaya had enough kites and sat beside Cai Hongming with her aunt watching him cook dog meat. Her little face was red by the flames in the stove.
The smell came, and the little guy was so greedy that he drooled, and he couldn't help asking: "Uncle, when can I eat it? I'm hungry."
"It'll be fine if you're hungry. If you're hungry, uncle will bring you some bread." When Cai Hongming came over, he brought some bread and water to avoid being hungry on the way and having no food.
"No, I want to eat meat." Yaya shook her head.
Cai Hongming glanced at her chubby body, thinking no wonder she was so fat.
Shi Wan'er hugged Yaya and watched Cai Hongming burn the fire. She felt that the scene was very warm. It looked like when she was a child, she was squatting in the firewood at home and watching her grandma burn the fire. She felt like home. Thinking of it, her face couldn't help but blush, and she thought to herself what she was thinking?
"Wan'er, do you dare to eat dog meat?" Cai Hongming asked Master Wan'er next to him.
He didn't dare to call the name Fat Po anymore, for fear that she would get angry. He was very surprised. Why couldn't he call the name that he could call when he was a child when he grew up? Could it be because he became beautiful? He became handsome and didn't even say anything when others called him Black-faced boy.
"What's there to be afraid of?" Shi Wan'er said with a blank look.
It would be great if he dared to eat it, but he was afraid that she would not dare to eat dog meat later and watch others drool.
The firewood continued to burn.
After a while, the soil blocks on the soil nest were almost burned. Xi Weifeng pulled some of the hot charcoal inside to the stove, then put a tightly wrapped thing in, covered it with the hot charcoal, and then blocked the stove. He used branches to spread some of the soil blocks on the soil nest, leaving a hole, and preparing to put things.
Cai Hongming looked at it, then walked over with the sweet potatoes he brought and said, "Wait a minute, those who bring potatoes will eat potatoes!"
His words are unfair, so he should not eat the sweet potatoes he brought.
"Who likes this thing about you? I brought something delicious today?" Xi Weifeng was not interested.
"What good thing?" Cai Hongming asked.
"The chicken from Lao Chai's family."
"oh..."
Lao Chai’s family in the town is a professional chicken farmer. His chickens are unique and have keyholes called elixirs in the feed, so the chicken has a faint taste and medicinal properties of keyhole medicinal materials. They are not only delicious, but also nourish the body. In the town, his chickens have the best sales, which is in short supply. Unexpectedly, Xi Weifeng actually got one today, but one is useless. There are seven or eight people coming today, and none of them can eat a piece of meat.
After a while, the potatoes and sweet potatoes brought were put into the soil nest.
Cai Hongming and Xi Weifeng quickly picked up the stick next to them and pushed the almost broken pieces of soil on the soil nest, then smashed the potatoes and sweet potatoes that covered it one by one. After breaking it, they shoveled some sand to cover it, so as not to emit heat. After it was done, they were waiting to eat.
This time, the one who came out for a picnic with them was also the medicinal maker that Xi Weifeng mentioned last time, Ruan Tianfeng, a fat man from Jiangnan.
Seeing that Xi Weifeng was interested in cooperating with the medicinal products business, Ruan Tianqing came to inspect it. He was always worried about not seeing some things in person. So today's picnic was here. After eating, Xi Weifeng planned to take him to dig a lockhole and see the desert specialties and scenery.
After estimating the time, I felt that the potatoes and sweet potatoes were almost ripe. Cai Hongming and Xi Weifeng picked up the branches next to them and dug them up.
The potatoes and sweet potatoes inside have been burned by the soil nest to the point where the soil and the ashes inside are ripe, so be careful when digging to avoid breaking the things inside.
Ruan Tianqiu was also interested when he saw that he took a branch from the side and dug it up. Who knew that he tried too hard and pierced the potatoes inside.
"Brother Fat, be careful. When digging this thing, you must be as gentle as a woman. You cannot be too rude, otherwise you will not try to dig out a good potato in the end." Xi Weifeng said, looking at it from the side.
Ruan Tianqiu nodded after being taught, his movements were much gentler.
Cai Hongming next to him heard this but ridiculed: "Your thoughts are so dirty, even this can be related to women."
"Why can't it be? The principles in the world are the same."
Cai Hongming was too lazy to talk to him, so he continued to dig up. He quickly dug a sweet potato and pinched it for a while. It was very soft and looked ripe. He gave it to Yaya, who was waiting to be eager to eat. The sweet potato that had just left the nest was still very hot, Shi Wan'er took the hand and peeled it off and fed her, which made the little guy smiled.
Xi Weifeng also dug out a few and distributed them to the waiting people next to him. Then he took one of them himself, peeled them and started eating them.
Cai Hongming looked at it and said, "What are you eating? Dig it and eat it."
"You dig first, I'll eat one to satisfy your cravings."
What's the delicious potatoes? Cai Hongming was too lazy to pay attention to this guy and continued to dig it up.
After a while, all the things inside were dug out and placed on the folding table brought. Each of them made a bowl of dog meat, ate potatoes and sweet potatoes, and ate chicken, and enjoyed the baked naan bought by the old man Huihui from the town. The chicken was eaten up first, and everyone was still a little unsatisfied.
"There are too few chickens, you should buy a few more." Cai Hongming said.
"Old Man Chai's chickens have been sold out. Now the batch is not yet out of the nest, so I went to buy them and he didn't sell them at all. His son caught one, otherwise you wouldn't want to eat chicken, but there wouldn't be any chicken feathers."
"You can still hang yourself on a tree if you are a living person. If your family is gone, you can go to another family. The desert chicken from Lao Lin's family can also taste."
"It's far from it, Fat Brother, don't you?"
"I haven't eaten it before, but the chicken tastes really good. I'll buy me a few when I go back."
"Let's talk about it then, Old Man Chai has a weird temper and will not sell chickens until he leaves the nest."
After eating, the group took a break and drove to the next destination.
This time, when I took Shi Wan'er out, Cai Hongming rented an off-road vehicle, which cost 500 yuan a day, and the fuel cost was extremely expensive. However, this is the price of a good car, which is only 200 to 300 yuan, but it would be fine if you don't take a car.
After driving for about an hour, I arrived near Shatanzihe. It is not far from the county town. After sand control, there are clusters of plants, white thorns, splendens, camel thorns, etc. on the yellow sand. The chance of finding the sun is much higher than that in other places.
