Chapter 238 Fried sparrows, delicious!
Uncle Jiang straightened his back, proudly took out a pair of jade bracelets from his pocket, and said, "I'm not like you. I came prepared. Come on, Xirou, this is a gift for you. Take it." Wait. Can you just call me grandpa, just like you call me brother? It’s so awkward!
Xi Rou laughed loudly and shouted cheerfully: "Thank you, grandpa!"
She took the bracelet and looked at it, my dear, with this transparent green texture, this pair must be worth a lot of money, right?
Why do old people like to give bracelets? Now there are several valuable bracelets in the space.
"Grandpa, this is a treasure. Are you sure you're going to give it to me like this?" Xirou's eyes widened, looking like a money-lover.
Uncle Jiang looked at Xirou's little expression and smiled happily: "I'm sure, it's for you. Keep it well and use it as a dowry in the future."
"Then I'm welcome." Xirou's pretty face showed a cute look of surprise.
When Uncle Jiang saw that Xirou liked it, he became even happier: "Take it, take it, there will be many good things for you in the future."
"Wow, Grandpa, you are so kind to me." Xirou happily hugged Uncle Jiang and kissed his fleshy face.
Uncle Jiang was so happy.
Hao Mengjiao and Jiang Haomin were also very happy and said they would hold a recognition banquet to announce that Xi Rou was the goddaughter of their Jiang family.
Xi Rou had no objection, and the two families discussed it and decided to schedule the wedding in March after the new year.
After discussing the date of recognition, the two families sat down and happily ate a steaming hot pot meal.
The Chinese New Year will be coming in a few days. Chen Qingyun gave Tan's mother 500 yuan for the festival, and gave her a lot of new year's goods, so she went home to celebrate the New Year, leaving a family of three at home.
Because the weather was very cold and the roads were slippery, Xizhu didn't let Chen Qingyun go out at all. He stayed at home and took good care of his baby.
Chen Kun found someone to squat with Chen Qingyun for a few days, but he didn't see anyone going out. He couldn't find a good way for a while. Seeing that the New Year was coming again, those people clamored to go home to celebrate the New Year, so he gave up and prepared to celebrate the New Year. In the next year, I’ll find another opportunity to do it.
Mo Sang was originally going to stay in the capital city to spend the New Year with Xirou after handling the company's affairs, but he didn't expect to be called back to Jiangcheng by a call from Mo Guangchao.
Xirou was bored and stood in the yard early in the morning, listening to the chirping of the sparrows on the tree.
After standing for a while, the sparrows on the tree seemed to be having a meeting and became more and more excited.
Chen Qingyun was about to take a nap, but he was so noisy by the sparrow that he couldn't sleep. He shouted irritably: "It's so noisy. If you keep making noise, believe it or not, I'll blow it up for you to eat."
Xirou's eyes lit up after hearing this, "Frying sparrows?" It's delicious. Why didn't she think of this?
So he ran into the house excitedly and shouted into the house: "Dad, Dad, come out."
Xi Zhuquan was coaxing his wife just now. When he heard his daughter calling him, he walked out.
"What's wrong?" Xi Zhuquan asked doubtfully.
"Dad, fried sparrows, I haven't eaten for a long time." Xirou's eyes were bright, like a child in the village who had been hungry for several days.
Xi Zhuquan raised his head and glanced at the sparrows chirping happily on the tree. Thinking that his wife was being disturbed and unable to sleep, he said, "Okay, let's get the bamboo sieve."
Xirou ran to the kitchen in a hurry, found a bamboo sieve in the corner, took another bamboo chopsticks, and ran out.
"Dad, here it is!" Xirou smiled and handed the thing over.
Xizhu took all the things and walked to the center of the yard.
I saw him sweeping out an open space with a broom, then squatting down, tying a rope to the edge of the bamboo sieve, and then carefully supporting the bamboo sieve with chopsticks.
He set up the sieve, then picked up one end of the rope, and slowly walked towards the door of the west wing. He didn't stop until the string passed through the door.
Seeing that her father had prepared the trap, Xirou hurried to the kitchen and brought a bowl of millet.
"Dad, here it is." Xirou happily handed it over.
Xi Zhuquan took the bowl with a smile, sprinkled the millet under the bamboo sieve, and then hid in the west wing, carefully straightening the string without being strong enough to knock over the sieve.
Xi Rou happily hid behind the door, staring at the traps in the yard with her big round eyes.
When I was a child, in the village, there was nothing to eat in the winter. Xi Rou was craving for meat, so Xi Zhuquan would take her to the village grain drying field to catch sparrows to eat.
There are many sparrows in the village, and they often eat crops. The villagers hate sparrows.
Only Xirou likes sparrows very much, because although sparrows are small, if the skin and hair are torn off, and then fried in stolen lard, the taste is simply delicious.
One bite, crispy and delicious, Xirou can eat 20-30 in one sitting.
The two waited at the door for a while, and sure enough, the sparrow on the tree saw golden millet scattered on the ground and there was no one around, so it flew over.
There were only a few at first, but when they saw that there was no danger, all the sparrows on the tree flew down, scrambling to eat millet.
Seeing that the time was right, Xizhuquan quickly pulled the string, and the bamboo sieve was instantly closed. Dozens of sparrows had no time to fly away, so they were covered inside and kept chirping.
"Wow, I caught it!" Xirou swallowed and shouted excitedly.
Seeing her daughter so happy, Xi Zhuquan felt very happy. He brought a bamboo cage, ran over and carefully put the sparrows into the cage.
In this way, the father and daughter spent a long time catching a cage of sparrows.
The sparrows on the tree also learned to be smart and stopped eating millet in the end.
"Okay, that's enough to eat. You go wash the pot while dad cleans up the sparrows." Xi Zhuquan said happily.
Killing sparrows was a bit cruel, and he couldn't let his daughter do it.
The father and daughter divided the work and cooperated. After a while, Xi Zhuquan packed up a plate of sparrow meat and brought it out.
Here, Xirou has already heated up the oil in the pot and shouted: "Dad, the oil is ready, is it ready?"
"Here we come." Xizhuquan walked in with a plate of sparrow meat, "Fry the little ones in small frying pans, one bite at a time, and compete with the gods."
After saying that, he took a bamboo ladle and put the sparrow into the oil pan to fry.
When you hit the pot, it crackled, and after a while, the aroma came out.
Chen Qingyun smelled the fragrance in the room and came over: "What delicious food are you two making?"
"Fried sparrow!" Xirou's eyes were bright and her mouth was almost watering.
Chen Qingyun took a look at the pot and saw little sparrows, like mini chickens, sizzling and smoking in the pot. They looked charred and brown, so they should be delicious.
"Hey, I asked you why those sparrows stopped chirping. It turns out you two caught them." Chen Qingyun said with a smile.
Xi Zhuquan replied with a smile: "Who makes them so annoying that they disturb my wife to rest?"
Chen Qingyun smiled and said: "You are greedy just because you are greedy, and you are using me as an excuse. This should be fried. Pick it up quickly, otherwise it will be fried in a while."
Xi Zhuquan quickly brought a plate, picked up the sparrows in the pot, and sprinkled some fine salt on them.
