Right now.
Song Tan, who was sober, and his family, who were half drunk, stood together beside the pigpen, doing addition and subtraction within ten, and each of them counted at least three times.
But, there are still seven.
The king sat quietly in the bushes nearby, with smooth lines, an upright posture, shiny hair on his chest, and a pair of eyes that seemed to be shining.
If it wears a big red flower, the posture of all meritorious dogs going on stage to receive awards can be embodied in it.
But he is a meritorious person, and he is a thief!
While Master Zhang, who was half drunk, hadn't seen the king yet, Song Tan quietly walked over and put his arms around the king's neck:
"Bao'er, just tell me, if you steal like this every day, will the wild boar be happy?"
"Woof!"
"What do you mean? Whether you are willing or not, I can't just listen to your one-sided opinion."
"If this wild boar comes with its cubs and destroys my woods and vegetable garden, who will be responsible for it?"
"Woof!"
"Look at you, you can't even take on this responsibility. You still rely on me for support. You're almost out of dog food, do you know that?"
"Woof!"
After a fruitless communication, Song Tan thought for a moment and lowered his voice again: "You stole two, so I'll give you two large pieces of good meat for the New Year. But there's one thing, if the pigs in his family come looking for you, you have to find a way to keep them."
Then he added, "It's best to keep it alive so we can fry it and season it. Otherwise, the wild boar meat is fishy and I don't think you would like to eat it."
"Woof."
The king adjusted his front paws and puffed out his chest. Song Tan took a look and felt that the pancake just now might be a little empty, so he had to give the king something more substantial.
"Well, you're so handsome, next time I go downtown I'll buy you a red bib!"
"Why buy a red bib?"
Wulan and Wang Lifen came over, grinning from ear to ear. Their rough hands rubbed the king's head, looking at it as if it were a treasure in their arms.
"I thought our king must be very useful for eating so much! Look, he hasn't even finished his guarding job yet, and now he's bringing in money. No wonder people say that raising a dog brings prosperity to the family and that dogs bring wealth."
"Good king!"
Grandma Wang Lifen likes such a simple and good dog. She promised immediately: "I used to have a red flowered coat, but now I am too old to wear it. I will tear it apart and make a big bib for our big king when I go home tonight!"
"Our king is so handsome, grandma will make you a lace at night!"
The king's eyes were half open, and he was already intoxicated by this unskilled and emotional flattery. Only Song Tan vaguely remembered his grandmother's big flowered jacket, and now he made a final effort for it -
"This thing is not expensive, otherwise I should go buy one..."
"What are you buying?" Grandma refused.
"Aren't the bibs on TV just like that? I can still make some with wool when winter comes."
He stroked the king's slippery fur and promised: "I'll make you a long rope and we'll tie a bow behind your neck!"
The king couldn't help but swing his thick tail twice.
"That won't work!" Song Tan quickly refused: "It's running in the mountains, and it will get caught if you tie a bow around it."
However, the king was not happy: "Woof woof woof!"
My steps began to shake.
The grandmother was overjoyed:
"See, I told you our king likes this style!"
The half-drunk Master Zhang finally emerged from the pigpen. He was very happy:
"It's a gilt!"
"Well, it would be great if I could buy a little boar for breeding later! Remember to call me when you castrate the pig next year!"
Wulan still felt a little regretful: "If I had known this earlier, I would not have castrated the piglet this morning."
"That won't work!" Song Tan quickly comforted her:
"Mom, we don't know when the policy on wild boars will be relaxed. You can't catch them and make their whole family rich forever!"
Master Zhang also echoed, "That's right, the wild boar has a bad temper. If it's not castrated, it will fight every day in the pen. Even if you lock it up alone, your wire fence may not be able to stop it. It will collapse the pigpen."
That’s right, the wild boar tusks are not just for decoration.
After a wave of shock, everyone returned to the dinner table.
Master Zhang had a few drinks and before he had time to take a bite of the food, he went for a stroll on the mountain. Now his appetite was great, so he picked up a piece of beef with coriander nearby.
"!
!”
He added another piece of meat, looked at the braised beef, then looked at the coriander, and this time he slowed down a lot.
But...it's still delicious!
That unique spicy flavor blends well with the taste of the braised beef... Master Zhang secretly swore: he would only eat one bowl today, but one bowl of rice and one bowl of beef, is that reasonable
After all, everyone has a bowl of white rice with side dishes for dinner, they can’t be mixed together.
However, the seventh cousin had already raised his glass and clinked it with him, then he turned the table and said, "Don't just eat cold dishes, eat something hot! Try my braised bacon with bamboo shoots."
The bamboo shoots were dug out from the bamboo forest later. Some were eaten, and some were dried. I have to say, the taste of these things from the field with meat is simply amazing!
Master Zhang watched helplessly as the beef with coriander was swept away from him, but he was old and couldn't lose face when he went out to entertain guests. He forced a smile and put the quick one into the pot of dried bamboo shoots.
"!
!”
This time, his eyes widened again.
That is to say, a bowl of rice with a bowl of dried bamboo shoots is reasonable, right
The seventh cousin gave him another one, and then boasted proudly: "Try this wolfberry leaf fried eggs. I have never used such good wolfberry leaves in my life! It nourishes the liver and improves eyesight. Eat more! You're welcome!"
Eating a moderate amount of vegetarian food is a life philosophy for people who are health-conscious. Therefore, even though he watched the bamboo shoots slip away from him again, Master Zhang still managed to look calm:
"You have to eat more. When you get older, you have to restrain yourself and eat less meat."
Green wolfberry sprouts are fried with golden eggs. These eggs are collected from a nearby village. They are fried to a golden and shiny color, which is very tempting.
At this moment, a faint aroma came over, and Master Zhang was refreshed, and he quickly put it into his mouth.
"!
!
”
Slowly chewing and savoring the scrambled eggs in your mouth, the fragrance of wolfberry sprouts is particularly obvious.
Master Zhang looked at the dazzling array of dishes, then at the other people who were busy eating, and finally understood:
It’s not that any one dish is particularly delicious, but every dish is delicious!
He stood up and handed the bowl forward:
"Girl, give me a hand and serve me a bowl of rice."
It is also reasonable to serve scrambled eggs with wolfberry sprouts with a bowl of rice to whet your appetite, right
Song Tan was sitting by the door, helping to serve rice to everyone. Now he picked up the empty bowl and walked to the stove with familiarity. He used the big shovel to push it down without hesitation, and then pressed it hard, and a bowl of rice was made solid.
Then she swung the spatula and scooped another big spoonful on it.
