In the winter, the sun shines on the south corner of my house. Fu Xuan closed his eyes and sat down, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
The next day, the long-awaited warm sun came out. The sunlight scattered into the room through the window, illuminating the bed with a golden color.
However, the heat emitted by the sun was still unable to offset the coldness brought by the winter snow.
Every gust of winter wind was like a knife slashing at one's face.
However, the weather still could not stop people from rescuing food.
When winter had just arrived,
In order to store food, many families bought large amounts of cabbage.
A long time had passed, and the cabbages piled up in the vegetable cellar naturally could not resist the erosion of time.
Some of the leaves at the bottom had already shown signs of rotting!
On this day, many people began to bring the cabbages from their vegetable cellar to the ground.
He peeled off the rotten leaves on the surface and placed them in a cold and dry place to dry.
Ma Hua's family was no exception. Lu Ge looked at the pile of uneaten cabbage and immediately felt troubled.
He did not know how to eliminate it as quickly as possible and avoid wasting it to the greatest extent!
Ma Hua looked at his wife's worried face and thought for a while. He clapped his hands and said,
"Wife, what do you think is the best way to make cabbage?”
When Lu Ge heard this, his bitter face turned into a contemplative look. He tentatively replied,
"Stir-fried cabbage noodles?"
Ma Hua shook his head speechlessly and signaled Lu Ge to continue guessing.
"Stewed cabbage?"
Ma Hua raised his eyebrows and said,
"It's a little close, but stewed cabbage alone isn't that delicious!”
Seeing that her husband was still playing riddles with her, Lu Ge instantly lay flat.
He looked at Ma Hua with anticipation, waiting for him to announce the final answer!
"Wife, what do you think of mutton hotpot stewed with cabbage?”
Lu Ge thought for a moment and asked hesitantly,"
"It's not easy to get mutton. It seems that only Donglaishun has the most mutton reserves now!”
Ma Hua naturally knew his wife's doubts. He smiled and said,
"Don't forget what I do for a living. Chef!
Don't worry, I'll get some mutton later. Although it won't be too much,
But it's definitely enough for us to eat a meal!”
In the end, it was Ma Hua's greed.
Although the ingredients in the space were all prepared, it was not good to secretly eat hotpot alone.
Therefore, Ma Hua was planning to bring his family along to enjoy it!
Ma Hua was not worried that the people in the quad would think anything of him eating meat.
After all, his family had been hiding it well. They ate their meat secretly.
The others only knew that Ma Hua would bring some leftovers back to improve their lives.
Therefore, no one would gossip when they occasionally ate hotpot. At most, they would be envious.
Who asked him to not have a chef at home?
Ma Hua instructed his wife to pick out some intact cabbages and clean them up.
They could start when the mutton was brought back at noon.
Ma Hua left not long after. After getting off the bus, he walked towards the market.
When Ma Hua walked out of the market, he was already carrying bags of various sizes.
A piece of mutton weighing about three pounds was in the special net bag of the mutton stall that had been prepared beforehand.
Under the envious gazes of many people, Ma Hua quickly walked all the way and found a place where no one was around to throw the mutton into the space.
After all, it was easy to get into trouble by carrying this meat along the way.
Then, he carried the vegetables and took the bus back to Nanluogu Alley.
Only then did he place the mutton back into the pile of vegetables!
In this way, Ma Hua's traces were left in the places where the meat was sold and eaten.
As for the process in the middle, it was not important.
The main reason was that there were too many people and it was not easy to investigate!
Besides, no one was that free. Ma Hua was just being cautious!
When he returned to the courtyard, Ma Hua saw Yan Fugui trimming and appreciating his plum blossoms outside the house.
The plum blossoms planted by Yan Fugui are indeed beautiful.
The yellow stamen in the middle and the white petals complemented each other, giving off a different feeling!
Seeing the bag that Ma Hua was carrying, Yan Fugui quickly came over.
His eyes kept looking at the vegetable bag in Ma Hua's hand. He asked with a smile,
"Ma Hua, what are you holding in your hand? It looks quite heavy!"
When Ma Hua heard this, he naturally opened the net and said,"
"Isn't it because the child wants to eat hotpot? So I just went to the market to buy some food!”
Normally, when people heard Ma Hua say this, they would naturally suppress their curiosity and not ask further.
However, Yan Fugui was different. He even requested to have a look.
"Yo, hotpot? That's a good choice!
Let me see what you bought,
After all, you're a chef and know how to match. I have to learn from you!”
Ma Hua didn't intend to hide anything, so he opened his pocket even wider.
"Hey, there's also mutton. This is a hot commodity. Chefs like you have a way!”
Obviously, Yan Fugui didn't doubt it. The Eight Great Members weren't just for show!
When Ma Hua heard this, he revealed a look of heartache and said,
"Teacher Yan, don't think that I have the means, but the cost is not small. My heart is aching to death!”
When Yan Fugui heard this, he immediately did not dare to ask about the meat.
Otherwise, if Ma Hua suggested that they share the cost of the food, it would not be good.
Then, he said to Ma Hua,
"This amount of money shouldn't be much to a level six chef like you!
Hurry up and go home. Your wife is probably still waiting!”
Seeing this, Ma Hua said goodbye, picked up the bag and left, leaving Yan Fugui muttering to himself,"
"The plum beard is 30% whiter than the snow, but the snow is less fragrant than the plum!
He eats his mutton, I look at my plum blossoms, each has his own harvest.
Everyone is happy!"
Although he comforted himself, his Adam's apple revealed the most fundamental thought in his heart:
He was still craving it!
When he got home, Ma Hua handed the things to his wife. Under the adoring eyes of his wife and children, Ma Hua did not explain further.
Lu Ge also tacitly didn't ask.
With a sizzling sound, a strong fragrance spread from the pot to every corner of the room.
Outside the courtyard, Yan Fugui sniffed and thought,
"You're eating already? That was fast!"
At this time, Jia Zhangshi, who had just gone to the toilet and entered the hospital, also smelled this fragrance.
Then, she stopped and asked Yan Fugui doubtfully,"
"His Third Uncle, whose house did he come from? What did he eat?”
Yan Fugui raised his chin in the direction of Ma Hua's house and said,"
"Ma Hua's family!
I ate hotpot at noon today and even cut off three catties of mutton through my connections. Tsk tsk ~"
When Jia Zhang-shi heard this, she exclaimed,"
"His family doesn't have much time left, yet they eat so well?”
Yan Fugui didn't agree with this and said,"
"It's not Ma Hua and his wife who want to eat, but his eldest son.
Ma Hua also said that he spent too much!
However, Ma Hua was a level six chef, so he could earn quite a lot in a month.
In addition, the four of them were all urban residents, so it was not a big deal to bite the bullet and eat a meal!”
Jia Zhangshi felt a little emotional when she heard this. She thought of her son Jia Dongxu for a moment,
"If Dongxu didn't get into any trouble, I'm sure his family's situation wouldn't be bad either!
I pity my eldest grandson. If it wasn't for Silly Zhu's help, he probably wouldn't even have any benefits!
Sigh…"
When Ma Hua's family was halfway through their meal,
Basically, the entire courtyard knew that Ma Hua's family had hot pot and three catties of mutton for lunch today.
As Ma Hua had expected, no one was jealous of his occasional extravagance.
Some of the residents with good family backgrounds were even planning to eat hotpot tonight.
After all, they heard that Ma Hua's family usually ate porridge and cornbread.
After a while, Xu Damao brought Lou Xiao'e, who had already reconciled, out of the door with a bag of vegetables.
It looked like they were also walking in the direction of the market.
Unbeknownst to Ma Hua, a craze for hotpot had been set off in the courtyard.
However, although they were tempted, there were still a few who actually took action.
Only the Liu family and the Xu family, who had good family backgrounds, chose to follow suit.
The other families with large populations naturally chose to give up!
Ma Hua finished his lunch at two o'clock in the afternoon.
The sun was hiding behind a thin layer of clouds, and the sunlight was already covered by it.
After finishing the work, Ma Hua and Lu Ge felt a little tired and began to take an afternoon nap.
When their breathing stabilized, a warm light shone on the couple's faces, making them look so peaceful and peaceful...
