Chapter 4122 sweet taste
For Luo Baobao, starting from tonight, it has entered the rhythm of the New Year.
Why?
Because dad and brother are all back!
Her father taught her how to ride a horse, and her brother taught her archery. In addition, her brother could accompany her to school, help her with her homework, practice swordplay together in the morning, and tell her stories before going to bed at night.
Moreover, her brother's paintings were very good, everything he painted was lifelike, and she liked it very much.
Well, let's take tonight as an example. Her parents took her and her brother to Ga Po's house for dinner. Dad accompanied Ga Gong and the others to talk in the main room. Mom, as for her, was in the backyard having family time with Ga Po and her aunt.
My brother teased my cousin Feng'er and played with her. She ran happily from the front yard to the back yard. There were family members everywhere. It felt really great!
In the hall in the front yard, Yang Huazhong personally refilled his son-in-law's cup. Luo Fengtang quickly stood up: "Father-in-law, how can I ask you to pour me tea? I can do it myself!"
Yang Huazhong raised his hand and pressed Luo Fengtang's shoulder:
"You haven't been back for a long time, so it's okay to ask your father-in-law to refill your glass. Besides, what you are doing outside is protecting your home and country, which is not easy!"
Luo Fengtang said: "Compared to Qing'er taking care of my parents, taking care of the children, and taking care of business on my behalf at home, she is the most difficult!"
Yang Huazhong was very satisfied with his son-in-law's words to protect his daughter.
But as a father-in-law, as a man, Yang Huazhong said: "Hey, no matter how hard she works, she can't be blown by the wind or wet by the rain at home. No matter how hard she works, it can't be as good as you doing the earth-shattering things outside.
Your contribution is the greatest!"
Luo Fengtang shook his head and said with a serious face: "My father-in-law praised me so much that Fengtang didn't dare to take credit. If Qing'er didn't take care of all this at home, there would be no stable rear, and I wouldn't be able to work outside with peace of mind."
."
"So, Qing'er is the one who works the hardest and gets the most credit!"
Yang Huazhong smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay, both of you have contributed. This also corresponds to that sentence. If husband and wife work together, they can make a difference, and then the life of this family can be prosperous!"
The atmosphere in the hall was good, and the men immediately chatted about other things.
For example, Yang Huazhong and Luo Tiejiang took turns asking about things outside, chatting randomly about the world.
Talk about the people outside, crops, customs...
In the kitchen in the backyard, Mrs. Sun and the others were busy discussing how to prepare the dishes.
Mrs. Sun knew that Yang Ruoqing was having her menstrual period today, so she didn't let her sit on any tasks and pushed her directly to the stove to warm herself up.
"If you really want to do something, just put firewood in it." Sun said.
When Yang Ruoqing was stuffing firewood, she remembered that Luo Fengtang liked to eat roasted sweet potatoes the most when she was at home.
Chen'er probably had never eaten roasted sweet potatoes made in this local way, so she pulled out a few red sweet potatoes from under the pile of firewood behind her and threw them directly into the stove without washing them.
This most primitive roasted sweet potato is much more delicious than the modern ones baked in large iron buckets or ovens.
The key point should be this firewood.
Because the firewood in this farmhouse is made of cotton stalks, pine hair, pine cones, or thatch.
These firewood are mixed with fruit wood, so during the burning process, some trace elements penetrate into the sweet potatoes.
The slightest difference makes a huge difference, and the baked sweet potatoes will be naturally fragrant and sweet, leaving people with endless aftertaste.
When the candles were lit, the main hall of Yang Huazhong's house was as bright as day.
The meals in the backyard were also prepared and placed on the table one after another, including chicken, duck, fish, meat and vegetables.
Sun's fried poached eggs are golden in color and sprinkled with chives on top, which makes people salivate.
Xiaoduo made the vegetable and meatball soup according to the method taught by Yang Ruoqing. The vegetables are like jade, the meatballs are round and delicate, and the fragrance spreads everywhere.
In addition, there are chicken stewed with mushrooms, braised bream, yellow yak and tofu hot pot, garlic prawns...
Yang Huazhong patted Luo Fengtang on the shoulder: "Your mother-in-law has been saying that you haven't had a good meal outside. No, she has been thinking about this meal since noon. I must eat a few more bowls later!"
Luo Fengtang's face was full of emotion, he nodded vigorously and said, "Thank you, mother-in-law."
"Give way, give way!"
Yang Ruoqing's voice came, and the man came over with a large open bowl.
"Mom, what is this? Why is it so black and the shell is burnt?"
Chen'er, who was closest to Yang Ruoqing, had an idea immediately and asked curiously.
Without waiting for Yang Ruoqing to respond, Luo Baobao said first: "Brother, these are roasted sweet potatoes. I usually want to eat sweet potatoes at home, and my mother and the others also bake them for me like this. They are delicious!"
Baby Luo came over first and got a roasted sweet potato, and then taught Chen'er step by step how to peel and eat it.
Her brother knew more about everything than she did, and she finally caught one thing that he didn't know. She had to seize this opportunity to show off!
Here, Yang Huazhong looked at the roasted sweet potatoes brought over by Yang Ruoqing and said, "Why are you bringing this dark thing to a table full of dishes? You can't even finish the dishes!"
Yang Ruoqing said nothing and put the large open bowl on the table, deliberately placing it in front of Luo Fengtang.
Sun glared at Yang Huazhong and said, "You know what? Tang Yazi likes to eat roasted sweet potatoes. Chen'er has never eaten roasted sweet potatoes since he was so old. This is what Chen'er roasts specially."
Yang Huazhong suddenly realized that he had made a mistake and quickly changed his words: "Hahaha, don't worry about too many dishes, as long as they are delicious, come on, come on, everyone can sit down!"
They were all family members, and they didn't even invite Old Yangtou and Old Suntou. They just sat down at a big Eight Immortals table.
Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang were sitting together. She glanced at the roasted sweet potatoes and said to Luo Fengtang: "You eat the vegetables first, and you can just have a few bites of the sweet potatoes later to satisfy your cravings."
Luo Fengtang smiled and took the lead in picking up a roasted sweet potato and peeling it open.
The hot air mixed with a sweet smell wafted out and rushed directly into his nose.
Suddenly his memory was brought back, and he went back to more than ten years ago, when he and Yang Ruoqing were hunting in the mountains.
On top of the fire was a sizzling wild rabbit skewered on an iron rack, and two sweet potatoes were hidden inside the fire.
When the rabbit meat is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, the sweet potatoes will also be soft and delicious.
During those years, I was poor, but I could always enjoy the hardships, and the smell of roasted sweet potatoes deep in my memory will last a lifetime.
"It's been a long time since I've eaten sweet potatoes baked this way. I'm really missing it. I'll take a few bites first before eating other dishes."
Luo Fengtang said as he skillfully peeled off the outer shell of the sweet potato, revealing the soft and attractive sweet potato flesh inside.
He picked up the spoon and scooped out a spoonful, but first put it into Yang Ruoqing's bowl, "Qing'er, come and taste it with me."
Yang Ruoqing smiled slightly and said, "Okay, let's eat together."
The two of them were eating the same roasted sweet potato, and the same sweetness was entangled in their respective airs. Their eyes were also intertwined, looking at each other sweetly.
The other people at the table were secretly happy when they saw this.
Chapter completed!
