"Ms. Ning, this house... it has been vacant for a long time. No one lives in it. It is in disrepair and is a dilapidated house. Maybe the decoration workers saw that the house was too dilapidated and dangerous, so they did not decorate it carefully. You also You know, if people nowadays can cut corners, they will definitely do so. The owners of other houses are watching over them, and the decorations will be better. But this one... no one is there."
Du Jiutian sighed heavily while talking to Ning Huanxin.
"Village Chief, why is this yard vacant? Where are the original villagers? Have they moved away?"
Ning Huanxin took the opportunity to ask a question.
After hearing Ning Huanxin's words, Du Jiutian shook his head: "I don't know! Suddenly one day, the family disappeared. There is no news anymore. Maybe they moved to the county or went to another place. Their family was originally a migrant. , I don’t like to interact with other people in the village on weekdays.”
Du Jiutian's tone was a little low, and it didn't look like he was lying at all.
However, he is an old man, and Ning Huanxin cannot trust him 100%.
At this time, the two people had reached the door of a large courtyard. The door was open. Standing at the door of the courtyard, they could smell the fragrance all over the courtyard.
It smells so good!
"Haha, we're home, Miss Ning, please come this way!"
Du Jiutian laughed and walked into the yard with Ning Huanxin. There was a red brick road in the yard. On both sides of the yard, there were small gardens surrounded by fences. Some autumn vegetables were planted in the small gardens.
At the end of the red brick road, close to the white house, there is a large iron pot. The firewood flame under the iron pot is very strong, and bursts of fragrance are wafting from the big pot. An aunt in a gray apron is standing around Busy in front of the big iron pot.
"Old lady, the distinguished guest is here!"
Du Jiutian shouted into the yard, and then quickly walked over with Ning Huanxin.
"Miss Ning, this is our old lady!"
Du Jiutian introduced.
"Hello, aunt."
Ning Huanxin immediately smiled and said hello to Du Jiutian's wife.
"Hello, Miss Ning! Hello, Miss Ning! The goose will be stewed in this iron pot very quickly. You can go inside first and have a drink of water!"
Du Jiutian's wife is named Zhang Cuilian, and she is a very honest rural woman.
At this time, Zhang Cuilian was still a little cautious when she saw Ning Huanxin's figure. She rubbed the apron in front of her uneasily with her hands.
"Auntie, there's no need to be so polite. I'll just sit in the yard for a while."
Ning Huanxin looked around and saw a few wooden stools in the yard. She simply found a good seat and sat there comfortably.
Seeing Ning Huanxin's actions, Du Jiutian was a little curious.
This young lady from the city seems to be very easy-going.
"Miss Ning, let me wash some fruits for you!"
Du Jiutian said as he quickly entered the room.
Ning Huanxin just kept looking at the layout in the yard, and then turned to look in the direction of Zhang Cuilian.
At this time, Zhang Cuilian was lifting the lid of the pot with an iron spoon, stirring the goose meat in the iron pot with the spoon, and then covering the lid again.
"Auntie, this goose meat smells so good. Has it been stewed for a long time?"
"yes."
When Zhang Cuilian heard Ning Huanxin's words, she immediately smiled and nodded.
"Isn't this specially prepared for me?"
Ning Huanxin was a little curious. Did she and Du Jiutian meet by chance? And their dish looks like it has been stewed for a long time. This kind of iron pot stewed meat becomes more fragrant the longer it takes.
This is by no means fresh from the pot.
