Chapter 644: Chu Brothers
??Chapter 644 Chu Brothers
??Xu’s family has two large pure copper hot pots, and they eat them twice a year anyway.
?? This thing is easier than cooking. Make a soup base, wash some vegetables, and cut some meat.
??Wait for the soup in the pot to boil, put the vegetables and meat in and rinse it, and you can eat it when it is cooked.
??This year's pot is different from previous years. The bottom of the pot is boiled with seafood, which is more delicious.
??The frozen crab is cut open, thrown into the pot and rinsed, the soup base is more delicious.
??When the crab is cooked, whoever wants to eat it can also eat the meat.
??The children have never eaten crabs, and they think it is quite novel, so they must try it.
?? "Well, it's okay to eat crab roe, you can't eat too much.
?? It’s not that the third uncle is reluctant to give it to you. This food is frozen and not as fresh as the live one. If you eat too much, I’m afraid that you will have a stomachache.
??Eat half of one person, just taste it. "
??Actually, there are not many lumps. There is no air-freezing technology in this year, and it is still frozen. It looks quite big, and a lot of it is ice.
??The most important thing is that I am still worried that the children will feel uncomfortable after eating. It is not worthwhile for the big Chinese New Year to eat crabs.
??The children were obedient, and when the crabs were cooked, each of them fished out half of them.
??Under the guidance of Xu Shiyan, he learned to peel the shells for meat.
?? This frozen crab, the meat is not so full, it will be empty.
??One crab didn't have much meat, and the children worked hard to get the meat out, and they all said it was good to eat.
?? "At my hometown, when I was young, there were crabs in the river, but they were not as big.
??Sometimes we got fish, smashed it and wanted to catch crickets, but ended up catching a crab.
?? It’s the same thing after eating, it doesn’t feel as fresh as cricket.
??It takes more effort to eat than a cricket, and it is not big, so none of us liked to eat it when we were young. "
??Xu Chenghou looked at the crab, and it was different from the ones he had seen when he was a child. I guess this is the difference between sea crabs and river crabs.
??The old man is not very interested in these hard-shelled animals. If he has the time, he might as well eat some sauerkraut.
??Seafood soup with sauerkraut, which tastes very fresh, and then dipped in sesame sauce, chive flower sauce, red fermented bean curd and other ingredients, it is really good to eat.
?? "Brother Chu, eat more, we are all our own family, so we don't need me to greet you, we can do it ourselves." Xu Chenghou greeted Chu Xuanhuai to eat.
??Chu Xuanhuai has been in the Xu family for several years.
??When Xu’s family was reunited in the second year of junior high school, he didn’t want to come, Xu Chenghou and Xu Shiyan would ask Xu Haiyuan and Xu Haiqing to invite him.
?? Now that he is used to it, Chu Xuanhuai is not so pretentious. He eats and drinks what he wants. This is the home of his apprentice and grandson.
?? "Yeah, um, it tastes better than the one we usually stew in a big iron pot."
??Chu Xuanhuai nodded while eating, sauerkraut hot pot, very good, tastes good.
??All the older people recognize it, not to mention the little ones.
??Xu Haiyuan and the others each had a bottle of drink.
??Anyway, it’s Chinese New Year, adults don’t care about children, they can drink whatever they like, with or without gas.
??The children eat two mouthfuls of vegetables and drink a mouthful of sweet water.
?? Especially the aerated drinks, the taste fascinates the children even more, and they all shout that they are delicious.
??There were a lot of people, and a round table was placed on the kang, and everyone sat around the table, eating and drinking in a very comfortable way.
?? While eating, suddenly I heard the dogs barking outside.
??Xu Shiyan was stunned for a moment, the dogs never barked when people came to the house during the Chinese New Year.
?? What's wrong? Who is here, alarming the dogs?
?? "Father, eat slowly, I'll go out and have a look." Xu Shiyan put down his chopsticks and came out of the room.
?? Outside the gate of Xu's house, two men in woolen coats and leather shoes were hesitating whether to walk into the courtyard.
?? "Is this the house?" The older one looked into the courtyard and asked.
?? "The address Chi Hao gave is here, it should be correct."
??The younger one held a piece of paper in his hand, looked carefully, and felt that he had gone right.
??The dog who has been lazy and unreasonable for the past few days seems to have gone crazy at this moment.
?? Wishing he could break the chain, he kept yelling towards the gate.
??The two people outside the door were so frightened that they didn't dare to go into the courtyard.
??At this moment, Xu Shiyan came out. When he saw the two people outside, Xu Shiyan was also stunned. Who is this? Why don't you know me?
?? "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"
?? "Oh, we are from the provincial capital, I want to ask, is this the Xu family?
?? Is there an old gentleman named Chu who lives here? "
??The two breathed a sigh of relief when they saw someone coming out, and hurriedly asked.
?? "You are here to see my master, what's the matter, are you looking for him to see a doctor?"
??Xu Shiyan heard that he was looking for Mr. Chu.
?? But these two people don't understand the rules too much, right? How can anyone find someone to see a doctor in the second year of junior high school? What an acute illness? Do you have to come at this time?
?? "You are Xu Shiyan, right? Our surname is Chu, and we are here to find my father."
??As soon as the other party heard Xu Shiyan's words, his attitude changed immediately, and there seemed to be something different in his tone.
??Xu Shiyan was stunned, surnamed Chu? Elder Chu's son?
?? Oops, it's not easy. After all these years, I finally saw him alive.
?? "Oh, so it's the two of the Chu family. Mr. Chu is here, let's go in."
??No matter who they are or what they are doing, they are guests when they come to the door during the Chinese New Year, and there is absolutely no reason to refuse them.
??Xu Shiyan nodded politely, and let the two into the yard.
?? "Xiao Huang and Er Hei, stop barking and go into the nest."
??The four dogs were still barking, so Xu Shiyan could only lower his face and teach the dogs to go back to their dens.
?? Not to mention, the dogs all gave Xu Shiyan face, choked up, and went back to their nests.
??But it's not the same as lying down in the nest in the past, this time although they are all in the nest, they are lying on their stomachs.
?? And that posture, it looks like it will rush out at any time and directly rush over.
??Gouzi may feel that these two people are not local, and he doesn’t know that they are good and bad people, so he is always vigilant.
?? "It's okay, let's go into the house." Xu Shiyan restrained the dog, and then led the two into the house.
?? "San'er, who's here? Why isn't our dog barking?"
??Before Xu Shiyan entered the east room, he heard Zhou Guilan's question.
?? "Mom, he's from another place. He probably dresses differently from us here. The dog is not familiar with it, so he bites a few times."
??Most of the local people wear big cotton jackets, leather hats, big-toed cotton shoes, and stuffy hands.
??These two have woolen coats and leather shoes. Gouzi has never seen them before, so can they not bite?
?? "From out of town? Why do people from out of town come to us in the second year of junior high school? What are you doing? Are you looking for your master to see a doctor?"
?? Now, Xu Chenghou also became curious, and leaned over to look at the door of the house.
??At this moment, Xu Shiyan led the two of them into the east room.
?? "Master, these two people said that their surname is Chu, and they came to look for you."
??Xu Shiyan didn't have a good impression of the two sons of Chu Xuanhuai's family, so he could only be polite to them, not warm at all.
??People who can ignore even their own parents, and expect others to be enthusiastic about them?
??Chu Xuanhuai was eating, when he heard this, he raised his head and glanced at the two people who came in behind Xu Shiyan.
?? "Who? I don't know. I have no relatives for a long time. I am a lonely old man. I don't know anyone."
??That's what he said, but there was a bit of sadness in the old man's eyes.
