selling chili peppers in chronology

=============================

On the second day of the new year, I went back to my mother's house.

Because Chen Chen and Chen Bei were not Liu Dongxue's biological children, Chen Chen and Chen Bei did not go with Liu Dongxue when she returned to her natal home.

The family has prepared a lot of New Year gifts in advance, such as noodles, sugar, eggs, malted milk, and bad peppers. The quantity of each item is not much, but the addition is definitely not a light New Year gift.

For ordinary people, even a can of malted milk is a generous gift when visiting relatives, not to mention that they also prepare a few other things.

These were prepared by Chen Jianye. Liu Dongxue was terrified when he heard it at first, but Chen Jianye felt that the life of their Chen family years ago had been spread all over the world. The Liu family must also know that if there are fewer things prepared, others I will definitely gossip, and Liu Dongxue will be difficult to do, so I insisted on adding a few more things.

This behavior provoked Liu Dongxue to almost wipe away tears.

The three who want to go back to their natal home are wearing new clothes, Chen Jianye is wearing the watch Chen Chen gave yesterday, Liu Dongxue is wearing the silver hairpin Chen Chen gave yesterday on his head, Zhou Pingan has nothing on him, but just look at his rosy face With his taller stature, it is known that he is living a good life.

Such a good-natured trio, plus so many things, it seems that they are the kind of people who marry well.

Because the two villages were far apart, the three of them set off after breakfast, leaving Chen Chen and Chen Bei at home.

There was no dissatisfaction on Chen Bei's face, "Brother, are you going out to play?"

Chen Chen asked back: "Do you want to go?"

"It's boring to just sit like this at home." Chen Bei peeled a tangerine.

Chen Chen said: "You can go if you want."

Chen Bei took the citrus peels and put them in a diabolo basket beside them, so that they could be used for stewing meat when they were dry, "How about you, bro?"

Chen Chen said calmly, "I'll go and see Du Xingwei."

Chen Bei let out an "ah", surprised, "Brother, didn't you just go there yesterday, why are you going again today?"

Chen Chen went all over the world with one reason, "There's nothing to do at home, and he's alone, so go and have a look."

Chen Bei said, "Then let me go together."

Chen Chen glanced at him.

Chen Bei was looked at a bit inexplicably, and then he gave an explanation, "I haven't visited Brother Xingwei this year, he has such a good relationship with our family, I will also go to pay him a New Year's greeting."

Chen Chen didn't stop him, "Go to that one."

Just like that, the two brothers went to Du Xingwei's place together, but when they reached the door, they ran into the person who was opening the door and coming out.

The man was dressed in convenient attire, with a dagger pinned to his thigh, a bow and arrow, and a leather bag on his back. It looked like he was going to the mountains.

"Brother Xingwei, Happy New Year." Chen Bei asked, "Brother Xingwei, are you going hunting?"

Du Xingwei and Chen Chen looked at each other, and said Happy New Year before saying, "Yes."

Chen Bei didn't know why, "Go hunting on the second day of the new year?"

Du Xingwei said: "There's nothing to do at home."

Chen Bei understood immediately.

Du Xingwei's life in the Du family would have been so miserable, not only because his stepmother abused the Du family, but also because Du Xingwei had no family to support him.

Du Xingwei's mother was a girl from a landlord's family, and it was Du Xingwei's mother's family who divided the land from the local tyrants, so the class was naturally different from that of the three generations of poor farmers.It was okay at the very beginning, but at most, the family business was gone, and everyone became the same poor people, and everything had to start from scratch.However, during the turmoil in the past few years, this identity problem was particularly acute, and many former landlord families suffered a lot.

Du Xingwei wasn't pulled out for approval at the time, but it was because Du Xingwei's mother was the only orphan girl left at the time, and then her mother died early, and Du Xingwei's surname was Du, so she escaped the catastrophe.

Of course, it was precisely because of Du Xingwei's special status that the Du family allowed Zhao Pingping to bully him.

So when he went back to his natal family today, Du Xingwei naturally had no natal family to go back to.

Chen Chen had already connected all kinds of things about Du Xingwei, that's why he came to see him today.

Seeing that he was about to go out now, he asked, "Is it safe to hunt in the mountains in winter?"

"It's okay." Du Xingwei said: "If you don't go to the deep mountains, it's okay to walk around the periphery."

Chen Chen asked with a smile: "Can you lead the two of us?"

Du Xingwei was stunned for a moment, and understood what Chen Chen said without a teacher, "I can move it."

Chen Chen asked Chen Bei, "Xiaobei, are you going?"

"Go!" Chen Bei's eyes brightened, "The last time Brother Xingwei took us to pick wild pomelo, I thought Brother Xingwei was good at hunting, and now we go with such a good person, then we will definitely return with a full reward today." .”

Du Xingwei turned around and closed the door.

While waiting, Chen Chen told Chen Bei, "Don't run around when you go up the mountain. Although there are fewer insects and ants in winter, it is not without them."

Chen Bei patted his chest and promised, "I've been to the mountain many times, I'm sure I won't make any trouble."

Just like that, the three of them went hunting up the mountain together.

The climate here in Yongxing County is good, and the cold winter is not too long. There was only a snowfall a year ago, and the snowflakes melted as soon as they fell on the ground, and they were not even covered.During the two days of Chinese New Year, the sun hanging in the sky was quite warm. Standing under the sun seriously, it was not too cold even if there was no wind.

The three of them walked up the mountain unhurriedly, talking while walking, and the atmosphere was quite good.

In winter, the leaves on the mountain are often yellow, and many of them have fallen off and covered the ground, and some have even begun to rot; of course, some trees are still green and growing vigorously.

But this kind of green is not much.

The whole mountain forest looks messy and beautiful.

Animals have to hibernate, and few are active outside, which makes hunting more difficult.

The three of them walked more than half a circle around the periphery, but they didn't see any wild animals.

Chen Bei said, "Did all the animals go through the winter, so I didn't see them?"

Du Xingwei said: "Some are."

Chen Bei murmured, "Could it be that they come outside too, and they know it's not safe?"

This time it was Chen Chen, "It should be."

Chen Bei: "...?"

Is his brother imitating Brother Xingwei?

Chen Bei put this thought aside, and asked: "Then we are going to go in now..." Shall we go in?

Before he finished speaking, Chen Bei saw an arrow flying out of his eyes quickly, and then heard an indistinct falling sound, and was so shocked that he couldn't even finish his sentence.

Chen Bei: "!!!"

Brother Xingwei is awesome!

Chen Chen also said: "Excellent."

Du Xingwei smiled a little, "Go and have a look."

Chen Bei had already rushed over, like a monkey, before Chen Chen and Du Xingwei came up to him, he had already picked up the wild thing that was hit, and shouted: "Brother, Brother Xingwei , it’s a pheasant!”

"Killed with one blow." Chen Chen looked at the arrow passing straight through his neck, and then boasted, "I didn't expect you to be so good at bow and arrow."

Du Xingwei was not proud, "Try more and you will be sure."

Chen Chen clicked his tongue lightly. Anyway, the more he looked at this man, the more handsome he became. He is tall, long and leggy, and he is good at martial arts. He is simply top-notch.

He picked it up.

"Should we continue?" Chen Bei asked.

"No." Du Xingwei said, "Go back."

The environment for animals in winter is more difficult than in summer, and there is not much food to eat on the mountain, so many wild animals that were originally in the deep mountains will lean outside, and often some small prey will be eaten by large animals, so once you hunt something , it's better to leave early, lest the smell of blood attract other dangerous wild animals.

Du Xingwei explained to Chen Chen and Chen Bei the reason for doing this, and took the two of them to Houshanhe, then found a place to clean the pheasant feathers, and asked, "Are you cold?"

Chen Bei shook his head, "It's not cold, it's so thick."

"It's okay." Chen Chen's eyes swept over the leather bag hanging on Du Xingwei's body and the pheasant with its feathers removed, "Do you want to roast here?"

Du Xingwei hummed, "I want to eat roast pheasant."

Chen Chen was also said to be greedy, "Then roast it."

As he said that, he turned around and gathered some dry leaves from the surrounding ground. Chen Bei followed up very cleverly, focusing on picking up dry firewood.It's just that people from the village come to chop firewood all year round on the mountain, so it's impossible to find any serious firewood, only small broken branches and the like are left on the ground.

"Brother, have you ever eaten the game that Du Xingwei roasted?" Chen Bei asked while picking up firewood.

"No." Chen Chen said, "Why do you ask this?"

"It's nothing, just ask." After a pause, Chen Bei said again: "Brother, I've never seen you have such a good relationship with anyone as you do with Brother Xingwei. You know many things about him."

Chen Chen clasped the hands of the leaves.

Chen Bei didn't notice it, and continued: "But it's normal to think about it carefully. He saved you back then, and brother Xingwei is generous, and he knows many things that other people in the village don't know. Shouldn't he be able to chat together and become good friends?"

Chen Chen sighed inwardly, with a calm expression: "You're right."

Chen Bei didn't hear anything unusual.

The sudden emotion was over for a while, and Chen Bei stopped talking about this topic, but returned to the original matter, "Today I can taste the taste of roast chicken. I haven't eaten it for a long time."

The last time I ate it, I sneaked here with Brother Xiaoqian the year before last. The taste of roast chicken was simply too delicious, and it has been deeply imprinted in his mind.

Looking forward to the delicious food, Chen Bei quickly picked up a lot of firewood. After taking it, Du Xingwei lit it up with a lighter, and then roasted the chicken.

Today's roast chicken is destined to be more fragrant than the roast chicken Chen Bei ate before, because Du Xingwei put a lot of seasoning in his purse.

Salt, chilli, cumin, even soy sauce.

Chen Bei, who had only seen Chen Qian touching some rare salt, stared wide-eyed, "Brother Xingwei, you still brought so many seasonings?"

Du Xingwei hummed.

Seeing that his brother was not surprised by this, Chen Bei tried to hold back, "Brother, you already knew?"

Chen Chen said calmly, "Guess."

Chen Bei: "..."

Well, just now his attention was all on the exciting thing of chatting and hunting, and he didn't pay much attention to what he brought with him, brother Xingwei.

Of course, he had seen the purse, but he didn't guess about it.

Du Xingwei used a dagger to divide the pheasant into three pieces and skewered them, so that the inside and outside could be covered with seasoning, and the roasting speed was much faster than that of the whole chicken. You see, the aroma was already wafting in a short while.

After chatting for a while, the smell of roasted pheasant became more and more intense. The smell of meat mixed with cumin chili pepper continued to drill into the tip of the nose, constantly seducing the stomach, making people unable to resist Swallow.

Pork is delicious, domestic chicken is delicious, fish is delicious, pheasant... naturally it is even better!

This bite is really rare!
