selling chili peppers in chronology

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

With such doubts in his heart, Chen Chen knocked on the door with a food box.Soon, the courtyard door opened from the inside, revealing Du Xingwei's handsome face.

Du Xingwei was a little surprised when he saw the person coming, "Chen Chen?"

"It's me." Chen Chen was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that this place was really Du Xingwei's house, but thinking about it, those memories of the original body were many years ago, and it's normal for them to change now.Thinking of this in his heart, he smiled and said: "I made some braised pork, it smells good, I'll send you some to taste."

Du Xingwei was a little taken aback.

The countryside is poor, and every household is short of clothes and food, and there is no way to give it to others, let alone the most expensive thing like braised pork. Du Xingwei couldn't help but feel a little complicated, and refused: "Thank you, but no need .”

"A little thing, don't refuse." After a pause, Chen Chen added: "And you saved me in the small bamboo forest today, my little thing is nothing at all, you just don't want to be disgusted."

Having said all this, it will be impossible to push it any further. Du Xingwei is not a procrastinator, "Thank you very much."

Chen Chen smiled, "You're welcome."

Du Xingwei turned sideways to let Chen Chen enter the courtyard, and the two walked inside together.

Chen Chen smelled the smell of stewed chicken, and remembered that Du Xingwei said that he went up the mountain today to hunt wild game, and it seemed to be going well now.

Afterwards, Chen Chen saw the entire yard clearly. In front of him was a wooden house, covering an area of ​​about three and a half rooms. Although the wood used was not very expensive, it was well preserved and looked almost new. Not to mention It is the top in Pingba Village, but it is definitely the wave upstream.

Then there is the entire courtyard, which is very large, much larger than the private plots of ordinary three-and-a-half-bedroom houses, but because the courtyard walls are built high, it does not give people the feeling of spaciousness, but only feels spacious and free. Comfortable, a small path was paved with stones between the courtyard gate and the house gate. Judging from the compactness of the tread, it should be that it has not been long since it was laid, and the vegetable garden that was opened has also been turned over. Shallow raised a sharp point.

But what Chen Chen likes the most are the few fruit trees. There are five or six citrus trees planted against the courtyard wall, and there are several blueberry trees next to them, with ripe blueberries hanging on them. From a distance, they look like Several big friends and some children are playing, and then there are two large pomegranate trees planted in the right front yard of the house. Fruits have already hung between the branches, but they are not yet ripe. Under the pomegranate tree is a round stone table and several stone benches. , the luxuriant branches of the pomegranate tree shielded from the scorching sun, just forming a shaded area around the stone table, whether it is to enjoy the cool air or do some work, that place is very convenient and comfortable.

Chen Chen really didn't expect that a man who looked stern and unsmiling on the outside would be so good at living.

Look at this yard, it's a total treat.

Chen Chen praised: "The yard is really nice."

Du Xingwei's tone was flat, "It's okay."

Chen Chen put the food box on the stone table, looked up slightly at the fruitful pomegranate hanging above his head, "Are there so many fruits on the pomegranate tree?"

Du Xingwei said: "These two trees will grow longer."

Chen Chen asked: "Where did you buy the saplings?"

Du Xingwei walked into the house, "It was dug from the mountain."

Chen Chen knew it. Judging from the thickness of the trunks of these two pomegranate trees, they probably had a double-digit age. At that time, it was a special period. Where can I have spare money to buy fruit tree seedlings?

Du Xingwei brought a glass of water from the house, put it in an enamel jar, "Drink some water."

Chen Chen reached out to take it, thanked him, pointed to the food box on the stone table, and said, "The braised pork is inside, I have to trouble you to find a bowl to fill it."

Du Xingwei hummed, and then opened the food box in front of Chen Chen, and at a glance, he saw a bowl full of braised pork inside.

The braised pork is fat and thin, bright in color, with a layer of oil dripping from it, and the smell that penetrates into the nose exudes a sweet fragrance.

Du Xingwei didn't expect the braised pork they cooked themselves to look so good, so he couldn't help asking, "You made it?"

Chen Chen nodded, "I made it, simmer slowly on a low fire."

Du Xingwei was surprised, "It looks delicious."

Hearing his praise, Chen Chen was very happy, "The appearance is not bad."

"Drink some water first, and I'll clear the bowl."

"it is good."

At the time when Du Xingwei entered the house, Chen Chen was drinking water from an enamel tank and went to the blueberry bushes. To his surprise, the water turned out to be sugar water. Anyway, in the village, such things are more expensive for hospitality. Yes, just take his grandma as an example. Putting sugar on the table is a way to respect this guest.

Thinking about it this way, he felt that the sugar water was delicious.

The blueberry bushes and citrus trees should have been transplanted from the mountains. I don't know if it's because they haven't been taken care of for a long time, which makes their branches look a bit too wild.The blueberries were already ripe, Chen Chen really wanted to pick them and taste how they tasted, but these were not wild blueberries that anyone could pick on the mountain, so Chen Chen had to give up this idea with regret.

When Du Xingwei came out of the kitchen with the food box, what he saw was Chen Chen's slightly regretful expression. Then he looked at the blueberries next to him, and after a little thought, he knew what was going on.

He put the food box on the stone table, then went into the room and brought a pair of scissors, and cut a few strings of cooked ones.In this era of scarcity of supplies, who would use scissors to cut branches, but these two didn't think anything was wrong.

Chen Chen just asked with some feeling: "Are you..."

Du Xingwei said: "Take it back and try it."

Chen Chen: "How embarrassing."

Du Xingwei: "It's okay, I can't finish eating by myself."

Chen Chen really wanted to try it, so he didn't refuse, "Thank you then."

Du Xingwei found a bag to put the blueberries in, because it was getting late, and Chen Chen didn't stay any longer. He took the blueberries and the food box on the stone table and was about to go back. As soon as he picked up the food box, he felt Something is wrong, although the smell of stewed chicken is everywhere in the yard, why does he feel that it is also in this food box?

Chen Chen looked at the food box hesitantly, wanted to ask, but was afraid that he smelled it wrong and was embarrassed, people thought you were begging for it; don't ask, the smell rushed into the tip of his nose again, it was really good Tangled.

Fortunately, Du Xingwei saw his embarrassment, and took the initiative to say: "I hunted the pheasant from the mountains. It tastes different from the domestic chicken. It has been stewed. You can take it back and add something to it."

Well, he certainly smelled it right.

But...

"You gave too much." It was blueberry and pheasant, and Chen Chen had the illusion that he was like that kind of poor relative who was in autumn.

Du Xingwei said, "Not much."

After a little hesitation, Chen Chen still accepted it.

He really thinks that Du Xingwei is a very good person, no matter how others avoid him, but he himself will definitely continue to communicate in the future, since he wants to communicate, he is not afraid of paying back.

"Then I'm welcome."
