Rebirth in 88 starts as a carpenter

Chapter 266 I want to eat fish heads and drink fish brains

The next day, the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, Wu Yuan woke up very early.

Wu Yuan lost sleep at the thought of having five or six more nephews and nieces at home.

My wife Yang Luoyan was up early, and she and her two children were not in the house.

Wu Yuan got up and went out to see six children, including Lin Miaomiao, plus two of his own, sitting in rows in front of the dining table.

As a result, Wu Yuan had no place to sit.

Even so, Wu Yuan was still very satisfied.

The children are very well-behaved. As an old uncle, what else can you be dissatisfied with?

Until Yang Luoyan asked him: "What do you want to eat for lunch?" As a result, several children rushed to say: "I want to eat fish heads and drink fish brains!"

"I want mutton!"

"If I want beef, pork, or braised pork..."

Wu Yuan's face darkened: "You think this is a restaurant? Are you still ordering food there?"

Then he said to Yang Luoyan: "This is easy to do. I will kill a fish and make a fish head hot pot. I will prepare some mutton, beef, tofu, cabbage, and potatoes. Eat and cook as you go."

The weather is so cold, so it's perfect to have hot pot.

All I need is a hot pot that can burn charcoal.

This thing is not hard to find.

After breakfast, Wu Yuan called Ma Mingchao, drove to the county, and soon bought a charcoal hot pot like Old BJ's, and also bought a large bag of charcoal, which will be enough for the rest of the year.

When I got home, I washed the hot pot carefully and hung it to dry. Then I took the snakehead fish out of the tank and prepared it for slaughter.

The snow outside has melted to some extent, and the temperature has risen somewhat compared to the previous few days.

But it's still much colder than inside the house.

Despite this, several children still dressed neatly and squatted beside him obediently, watching him slaughter fish and cut meat to prepare hot pot.

After a while, a large table of ingredients was ready.

Not to mention that the country children had never seen this battle before, even Yang Luoyan and Lin Miaomiao found it novel.

This way, you don’t even have to cook the vegetables.

Having the food ready to eat saves a lot of effort.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and under the eager eyes of several children, Wu Yuan finally brought the hot pot to the table. The charcoal inside was already burning, along with a circle of fish heads and fish meat on the bottom of the pot, making a gurgling sound.

Around the hot pot, there are circles and circles of ingredients.

Not to mention beef and mutton slices, tofu, cabbage and potatoes are all ready-made at home, so you can eat enough.

There was no duck blood, but Wu Yuan prepared chopped pig blood.

In addition to vermicelli, radish and bean sprouts that are necessary in rural areas, it can be considered a rich variety.

Although hot pot meatballs and seafood are missing soul ingredients, the children don't know that their eyes are already shining when they look at this table of ingredients.

Wu Yuan picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish and said, "Eat it, eat it, be careful not to burn it!"

After giving the order, seven or eight pairs of chopsticks immediately reached into the hot pot.

Among them, Zhong Wenqiang was undoubtedly the fastest, going straight to eat fish heads and drink fish brains.

Seeing this, Wu Yuan said angrily: "You let the fish head cook more, no one will snatch it from you!"

Zhong Wenqiang reluctantly put down the fish head, and then changed it to mutton slices.

The children no longer care about talking, they just focus on eating.

Only Yang Luoyan and Lin Miaomiao occasionally stretched out their chopsticks and looked at each other and said, "Not bad, this tastes really fragrant."

Just looking at the children devouring their food, Yang Luoyan couldn't help but worry: "Is there enough food for so many dishes?"

Wu Yuan didn't take it seriously and said: "If there's not enough food, give them noodles."

However, at the end of the meal, before eating the noodles, one or two of them were full with their stomachs filled.

After all, this hot pot contains fish and meat, and the oil and water are placed here, which is much better than rice and steamed buns to resist hunger.

After lunch, the children all leaned on the sofa, lined up, basking in the sun and taking a nap.

After a while, someone came to the house.

They are Fan Weimin’s family of three.

As soon as Fan Weimin entered the room, he smelled the residual smell of hot pot. He followed the smell and immediately praised: "Old BJ Hot Pot, Boss Wu is really a wonderful person who knows how to enjoy it."

Wu Yuan pointed at a group of children and said helplessly: "It's hard to reconcile them. Only this hot pot can kill them."

Fan Weimin certainly didn’t come empty-handed.

The gifts he brought were not the usual tobacco and alcohol, but some delicious ingredients secretly prepared by his own family.

Two roast ducks, two braised geese, and ten pounds of braised pork knuckles.

Wu Yuan couldn't even refuse.

While Wu Yuan accepted it, he also said with emotion: "Old Fan, with your skills, working as a chef in a furniture factory is definitely an underachievement. If one day in the future, you, Chef Fan, prepare to come back to work, I will definitely

Support with both hands.”

Fan Weimin was a little flattered, and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, Boss Wu. I am very satisfied that Panpan Furniture Factory allows my wife and I to help. I will never do what he wants."

Wu Yuan said no more.

But people change, and now Fan Weimin is a little frightened and doesn't dare to return to his old career.

If you wait another two years, maybe it won't happen.

Not long after Fan Weimin's family of three were sent away, the eldest sister Wu Shuhua came with her eldest brother-in-law Lin Xian.

Lin Miaomiao suddenly looked wary: "Uncle, the person who came here is not evil!"

Wu Yuan laughed and scolded: "How could you say that about your parents?"

But even though Wu Yuan said this, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

Because this time neither the eldest sister nor her husband had empty hands, and they carried more things than ever before.

This is very strange.

After letting the eldest sister and his wife sit down on the sofa in the living room, Lin Miaomiao took a peek at the gift in her pocket, ran over and whispered in Wu Yuan's ear: "Uncle, Baojun and I bought these things.

"

Since this is the case, Wu Yuan has confidence in his heart.

Even so, he still asked: "Eldest brother-in-law, eldest sister, how can you give me a gift? Is there something wrong? If you have something, just tell me."

Lin Xianxue said with a relaxed face: "No, no, uncle, don't worry too much."

The eldest brother-in-law said so, but it seems that this is no longer the case.

So Wu Yuan safely persuaded the two of them to come down for dinner, saying that he wanted to have a drink with his eldest brother-in-law.

Lin first learned to drink Maotai, and he was attracted to it at that time.

I'm afraid Wu Shuhua won't want to stay.

Unexpectedly, Wu Shuhua agreed without hesitation.

Wu Yuan came to his senses and realized that this was the true nature of the eldest sister, never letting go of any opportunity to take advantage.

Not long after, the third sister and her husband also came, carrying a bag of rice and a bag of noodles.

Originally, I said I was going to take the two children back, but when I saw that both the eldest sister and her husband were there, I stayed calmly.

With the help of his third sister, Yang Luoyan prepared dinner much faster.

Using the high-burning pot in the kitchen and the gas stove in the kitchen, four cold dishes and six hot dishes were quickly prepared.

On the other side, Lin Miaomiao took advantage of the opportunity to help the cook and asked her eldest sister Wu Shuhua for a long time.

Finally, he told Wu Yuandao with a disappointed look on his face: "Uncle, my mother didn't change her gender. She saw you in the newspaper and felt she had to curry favor with you, so she came here."
