Chapter 949: The selfish and vain female supporting role (45)

"This is a good method!" Xu's mother's eyes lit up, "When the cherries ripen next year and there are tourist groups coming to our village, Lao Xu, you can roast some lamb and sell it. Someone must buy such delicious roasted lamb. "

 Xu Yin responded with a smile: "Someone must buy it!"

That is to say, the Xiangcheng area mainly grows fruits. Except for the occasional sight of tourist buses coming in during the picking season, there are very few tourists in normal times. As for purchasers, the few hotels in the town are enough to stay. B&Bs and farmhouses are almost everywhere. No, because there is not much business even if it is opened.

Otherwise, with her spice recipes, she can support the daily flow of a farmhouse.

“Farmhouse? Are you talking about the kind your uncle’s family has? A small restaurant for tourists to rest and eat?”

Xu Yin was stunned: "My uncle? He runs a farmhouse?"

"Yes, isn't there a long stream next to your grandma's house? There is a waterfall as you climb up the stream. In recent years, more and more tourists like to drive into the mountains by themselves. The county government has funded the development. Last year I heard It is said that the 4A scenic spot has attracted more tourists. If you have a long way to go and you can’t go back that day, you will spend money to stay in the villagers’ homes. Is this what you call a B&B? Your uncle’s house is small and cannot be accommodated in a B&B. With a few customers, you and your aunt discussed making some food to sell in front of your house, and put some tables, chairs, and benches so that tourists can sit down and rest when they are tired from walking. By the way, you can buy some food from your aunt's stall, and you can make some money. You My uncle said that tourists call this a farmhouse."

Xu Yin did not expect that Shanlizhai, where her grandmother's house is located, has now been developed into a tourist attraction. Although it is not a nationally famous 5A scenic spot, it has beautiful scenery and abundant negative oxygen ions. The number of tourists who go there to escape the summer heat has doubled in recent years. .

“I’ll ask my uncle and aunt later. If they are willing, I’ll ask Sister Chen to buy some secret barbecue ingredients. Then I’ll set up a barbecue stall and the business will definitely be good.”

"Okay, okay." Xu's mother responded, "Your uncle will definitely be willing."

It's not clear whether my uncle is willing or not, but the villagers learned that Xu's father had learned how to roast a whole lamb, and someone actually brought a little lamb over and asked Xu's father to help roast it.

 The one who came carrying the whole sheep was Old Uncle Wang.

His son is twenty-seven years old this year and has finally found a partner. Today he brought the partner to meet his parents.

Uncle Wang got up early and went to the city to buy a lamb. He wanted to ask Father Xu to roast a whole lamb to entertain his son.

Although Xu's father is not very skilled yet, he has memorized the basic steps. When he was learning from his daughter, he also tried grilling lamb chops and steaks. He didn't need to adjust the dry ingredients himself. As long as someone was watching, he would cook them from time to time. Flip it, be careful not to burn it, and sprinkle the seasonings evenly before taking it out of the oven. It will be delicious no matter what.

Uncle Wang, who came with the lamb and left with the roasted lamb, stuffed fifty yuan of processing fees into Xu's father's pocket and left in a hurry.

　　It’s so fragrant!

If he didn’t walk faster, he was worried that he might not be able to resist tearing a piece off and eating it on the way.

Smelling the aroma of roasted mutton, the neighbors who came to Xu Yin's house to watch the excitement saw him running away like a gust of wind, and they raised their voices and joked: "Uncle Wang, are you so stingy? The meat house won't let us eat, and we won't give us more of the smell. Do you want to smell it?”

“That’s not true! You all heard about it. What should I do if the person my son finally brought home ran away?”

"Hahaha!"

 The next day, someone met Old Uncle Wang and jokingly asked his son’s partner if he liked roasting whole lambs? Is the marriage in order?

Uncle Wang smiled happily and narrowed his eyes: "Okay! Thanks to Mingkang for helping me cook the whole roasted lamb. Xiao Liu said that he has never tasted such delicious roasted lamb and wants to eat it again in the future."

 If you are willing to come again, it means that the marriage is on track!

 Everyone is happy for Old Uncle Wang.

 Xu's roast lamb became an instant hit.

Now that life is better, we always buy some beef and mutton to eat during the Chinese New Year. Many people come to the door with their children's filial lamb legs and lamb chops to be grilled by Xu's father. While waiting, they will say a few words:

“Mingkang, your skills are enough to open a shop.”

"Uncle Mingkang, if you need to hire people to open a shop, please remember to find me. It's okay if the salary is small. Occasionally, you can roast a whole lamb and share some with me." "Old Xu, it's my fiftieth birthday next year. I'll make an order with you in advance. A whole roasted lamb.”

Xu’s father was delighted when he heard this: “No problem.”

In the past few days, I have earned six to seven hundred just by roasting lamb chops, legs of lamb, chicken, and duck for the villagers.

Making money is secondary. The main thing is that his skills have been greatly improved through repeated practice and have been recognized by everyone.

On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, a forty kilogram tender lamb was roasted for the village chief’s family. The village chief who had tasted Xu Yin’s cooking before said that there was no difference in taste.

Xu’s father said happily: “Tomorrow, on New Year’s Eve, I will roast the suckling pig too!”

On New Year's Eve, Uncle Xu's family came very early. At eight o'clock in the morning, the kiln started to operate. Roast chicken, roast duck, roast fish, roast whole lamb, and roast suckling pig. The small ovens on both sides took turns cooking biscuits, egg tarts, and small breads. ...The charcoal fire will not go out until four o'clock in the afternoon.

 Xu Yin’s yard is always warm, and the children in the village don’t want to leave. In addition to being warm, there are endless snacks, baked goods, and endless freshly squeezed juices to drink.

The New Year’s Eve dinner was also very sumptuous. Xu’s mother and Jiang Yanqun worked in the kitchen for most of the day, frying meatballs, smoked fish, stewing seafood stew, duck soup, and making dumplings of several flavors.

The ancestor worship ceremony is over, and the family gathers in the bright and warm new house, around a table full of delicacies, and raises the crystal cup in their hands: "Happy New Year's Eve! Cheers!"

 …

On the second day of the first lunar month, Xu’s mother returned to her parents’ home, and she was more excited than ever on the second day of the first lunar month.

This year I have a car at home. Although it is just a small truck, it is definitely more comfortable than catching the bus early in the morning. Moreover, the car is very big, so there is no need to be crowded. You can take whatever you want with you and put it wherever you want.

 The most important thing is that my daughter is willing to go to her grandma’s house.

 This makes people happier than bringing any gift.

Along the way, Xu’s mother kept talking about the changes in her family’s family over the past few years:

“Although the bus can’t reach Zhaizikou yet, the roads have been repaired, and the winding mountain highway is paved with asphalt roads. The cars are easy to drive, so there are many tourists here.”

Xu Yin looked at the scenery on both sides of the mountain road, approaching the hinterland of the forest. The air was indeed very good, with negative oxygen ions bursting through the air.

“Dad, Mom, can we build a house at my grandma’s house? It would be nice to build a holiday house. It would be nice to come here for vacation in our free time.”

“Building a house in the mountains? Isn’t this a waste of money? Your uncle and the others still want to move out if they have the conditions! Life in the mountains is so inconvenient!”

　　　…”

Well, it's like a siege - people outside the city want to get in and people inside the city want to get out.

There was a heavy snowfall in the mountains two years ago, but as New Year's Eve approaches, the sun shines brightly. After a few sunny days, the snow on the mountains has melted a lot, and the ground at the entrance of the village has long been shoveled clean by the diligent people in the village.

 Zhang Li contacted his eldest sister years ago and confirmed that she would return to her parents' home on the second day of the new year. After breakfast, she took her son to the entrance of the village and waited.
