Chapter 333 Origin
Despite what Lao Hu said, everyone slowed down on purpose, not daring to look at the dogs, and entered the main room cautiously.

Lao Hu's house is backed by the mountain ridge. It is an authentic green brick and large tile house. This kind of house is warm in winter and cool in summer. Once you enter the house now, you can feel a rush of hot air rushing towards your face, warming you up all of a sudden.

Lao Hu took a clean little broom and asked everyone to sweep off the snow and dust on their bodies, "Everyone is hungry, I didn't know that there are distinguished guests visiting today, and cooking will take a while, everyone wait a moment! "

Nanxi stood up immediately, "Uncle Hu, let me cook for you!"

Nan Xi's face was covered all the time, and just now when she took off her scarf, Lao Hu could see clearly that she was not a half-sized man, but a beautiful big girl.

Looking at Lao Hu, with a pair of palm-leaf fan-like hands that seemed to have no place to put them, old man Bai quickly introduced that this was his granddaughter, "Nanxi, don't look at Lao Hu looking young, he is about the same age as me. , you have to call him Grandpa Hu!"

Now it was Nan Xi's turn to be surprised, because although this old Hu looked rough on the outside, he was really not that old, so she quickly changed her mind.

Old Hu repeatedly nodded and said yes, Nanxi and Geng Kun, with two subordinates, followed into the kitchen to help, maybe because the mountain is a big place, the kitchen of Lao Hu's house is very bright, and the four of them It doesn't feel cramped at all when you squeeze in.

Considering that there were more people entering the mountain this time, before setting off, Geng Kun asked his two men to bring their own rations, which were ready-made polished rice and white noodles.

You must know that the hunters in the mountains have no shortage of meat and vegetables, but they also have to go down the mountain to buy food. If these people go up the mountain and eat up Lao Hu's food storage, it will not be beautiful.

Lao Hu rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "Look, what are you doing? When you come to my house as guests, you bring your own rations. Are you afraid that I won't be able to entertain you?"

Nanxi pursed her lips and smiled, "That's not true, Grandpa is mainly afraid that you will be troublesome to rush to the market to buy food!"

"That's right. I don't lack anything here. It's just this food, which can only be bought at the market!" Lao Hu is obviously a cheerful person. Seeing that everyone has brought the things, he directed the big guys He poured the grain into the big vat in the corner, which he specially used to store rice noodles.

Lao Hu has a lot of reserves, and he quickly came in with five or six frozen chickens from the outside. Now it is freezing cold, and there is a large natural freezer outdoors.

"There is no fresh meat now, everyone will just eat some frozen meat first, and I will go hunting game when the weather is good!" Lao Hu put the frozen chicken in cold water to melt, and then took out dried mushrooms and fungus for cleaning.

Lao Hu’s frozen chicken is all hair removed, the internal organs have been removed and cleaned. After a little melting, it is chopped and thrown into a large pot to boil, and then a few dried mushrooms are thrown in. A strong fragrance hits the face. .

This is the stewed chicken with mushrooms that everyone talked about all the time. Just smelling this smell, the few people who are helping in the kitchen are full of greedy worms in their stomachs.

Nanxi had already reconciled cornmeal and white flour. After the cauldron was heated, she put pancakes on the edge of the pot while it was still hot.

The pancakes pasted in this way are soft, and the side of the pancake can soak in the meat soup, so it is very delicious.

Nanxi noticed that Lao Hu seemed to be the only one living in this courtyard, but the iron pot he used was very large, enough to cook for more than a dozen people, and he didn't know why.

There was stewed chicken and mushrooms in the pot, so Xiao Wang asked everyone to come in and talk, and it was enough for him to watch the pot.

Lao Hu had a lot of things to say to old man Bai, and he was not polite when he heard the words. He pulled Nanxi and a few other helpers into the house with half a bag of pine nuts.

At this time, the people in the house had already started to boil black tea with a big tin pot.

Seeing Lao Hu enter the house, old man Bai smiled, pointed to the big and small bags piled up in the corner of the room and said to him, "These things are all for you!"

Lao Hu took a glance and saw that there were paper bags and cloth bags. He knew that these were the food and cloth specially brought for him by Mr. Bai in consideration of his inconvenience in the mountains. Lao Hu waved and smiled carelessly. He smiled, "Look at the trouble you have to go to the mountains, thank you!"

The main room of Lao Hu’s house is facing a big kang, and the big kang is very hot at the moment. He told everyone to take off their shoes and sit on the kang. There is a small table on top of the big kang. Get up and pour the pine nuts inside on the table.

Someone had already poured the burnt black tea, and the big guys chatted lively while drinking tea and nibbling pine nuts.

The big kang is a good thing. Chicken is stewed in the kitchen. The stove is so hot that the heat rushes to the bottom of the kang. The big guy is roasting on the side of the kang, and the whole person is roasted. The cold air along the way has long since disappeared. no trace.

It was a chat, but in fact only old man Bai and Lao Hu were talking, and the others were drinking tea and eating pine nuts, so they listened with their ears pricked up.

Mr. Bai and Mr. Hu haven't seen each other for more than 40 years.

The two of them talked about what they experienced together when they were young. You and I were quite emotional in each sentence. Several times when they talked about the emotional part, they wiped away their tears.

Nan Xi listened carefully, and Geng Kun put the peeled pine nuts in Nan Xi's hands from time to time.

These are cedar pine nuts from the mountains. The nuts are large and oily, and the taste is sweet. It is a rare good thing.

Nan Xi smiled at Geng Kun, because there were only the two of them sitting on the edge of the Kang, so no one paid attention to them. Seeing that no one saw them, Nan Xi also squeezed a pine nut and put it into Geng Kun's mouth.

In this warm and harmonious atmosphere, the door of the main room was pushed open, and Xiao Wang walked in with a large pottery basin, "Here we come, chicken stewed with mushrooms and pancakes!"

Immediately, someone came down from the kang to help serve the dishes and put on the pancakes. Each of the big names in coarse porcelain had a bowl full of hot soup inside, and the big guys started eating immediately.

In fact, if you think about it, today is just hungry for most of the day, mainly because you have been driving the mountain road in the snow and wind, and everyone is very hungry.

Fortunately, Hu Hongde himself has a big appetite, so the pot of soup he prepared was not only full of ingredients, but also enough in portion. After the big guy drank two bowls of soup, his speed obviously slowed down.

Old Man Bai wiped his mouth and said with emotion, "Once I tasted this taste, I seem to have returned to the winter 40 years ago, Hu, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be here, let alone the current Bai family!"

"I came this time just to invite you down the mountain again in my lifetime. I have quite a fortune in the south now. I don't want to leave you, an old friend, to suffer in the deep mountains and old forests. Come down with me to spend your old age in peace!"

Hearing this, everyone present finally understood why Mr. Bai would go all the way into the mountain in such weather. It turned out that there was still such a relationship between him and this old hunter.

Everyone looked at Lao Hu, wanting to hear what he would say.
