"Wife, I understand. If 'Xiao Jin' does not agree, it will 'chick'." Ye Rongyao said to Liu Qingqing, who was stunned with a silly face.

"ah?"

Liu Qingqing looked at her man foolishly. What is this? This ant cooperates with her man so well.

"How many?"

Seeing Liu Qingqing looking at him in a daze, Ye Rongyao took out two fingers and shook them in front of Liu Qingqing and asked.

"Husband, you are so annoying!" Liu Qingqing said without hesitation.

"Haha, okay, wife, this 'Xiao Jin' will follow you in the future, you have to watch out." Ye Rongyao said with a smile.

"Well, I'll let it stay in my clothes collar in the future."

Liu Qingqing nodded and said, "You must be careful with such a strong ant, but you dare not let it run around." As for letting it stay on your hair, Liu Qingqing still couldn't accept it, so let it stay on your clothes."

"You can do this by yourself. I want to invite the old village chief, the fifth grandfather and the others to drink in the evening. When you go to the store to buy a few bottles of Jiannanchun, I will prepare to cook." Ye Rongyao said.

"Is it that I want to thank the old village chief, the fifth grandpa and the others. These two days, like during the day or at night, we will help us guard the yard."

Liu Qingqing nodded and said, "Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. This is indeed the case in the countryside, but you must thank others, otherwise they will not help you so enthusiastically next time."

...

In the afternoon, Ye Rongyao drove an electric tricycle to the town's vegetable market. The rural township vegetable markets usually open in the morning and have a rest in the afternoon.

However, not all stalls are resting. The shops of the houses built next to the vegetable market are open during the day.

Ye Rongyao went to these shops to buy vegetables and bought some seasonings and food needed to make hot pot. Ye Rongyao drove an electric tricycle home.

Because it was afternoon, I couldn’t buy any fresh dishes, so Ye Rongyao thought it was a hot pot to eat at night. It was a very good thing to do in such a cold winter.

Hotpot is a traditional Chinese dietary method. It originated from the people and has a long history. It has been used to use water (soup) to conduct heat and cook (shabu) food during the Shang and Zhou dynasties. This cooking method can be said to be the earliest prototype of hotpot.

...

It was less than five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky outside became a little darker, and the old village chief Ye Xianghai came to Ye Rongyao's house.

"Village Chief. You are here, smoke."

Ye Rongyao took out two Chinese cigarettes and handed them to the old village chief and said.

"Good, good smoke."

Ye Xianghai smoked a cigarette from Ye Rongyao's hand and said with a smile.

In rural areas in southern China, there are some considerations about whether to smoke or toast.

The rules for sending cigarettes are that when you take the cigarette, do not take the cigarette out of the cigarette directly from the cigarette case, shake the cigarette case with your hands, completely pop the cigarette filter out of the cigarette case, and pop two cigarettes with your fingers. It is best not to touch the filter with your fingers.

After all, people nowadays are more concerned about personal hygiene. Some people who pay special attention to it will not like it.

As for smoking to others, it is not to smoke one by one. You have to take two cigarettes at a time and hand them to the customer. After sending one cigarette, you can take it and add it to two to ensure that when you send cigarettes to others, you still have two cigarettes on your hands.

In fact, the reason is very simple. Giving two to someone means that you are smoking. After giving someone one, you still have one, so that others can understand that it is enough. When giving someone a cigarette, you are most taboo to not have enough cigarettes. In this way, those who have not received the cigarette feel that they are not respected.

Although this is just a small detail, sometimes it is such a small detail. It is the easiest thing to give people a lot of idle people in rural areas, it is easy to have ignorant rumors about someone.

Many young people today do not understand the meaning behind these rules, and they all follow the same thing. In fact, this is wrong. I don’t know the meaning behind this rule. Just following the same thing will never be done well.

Soon, the fifth grandfather Ye Xianglai, Ye Xiangkai and Ye Rongfa both came over, and Ye Rongyao also sent cigarettes to them respectively. This is the rule in the countryside. If others come to your house to play, you don’t have to send cigarettes to them, but if others come to your house to drink, it will be different. They have to send cigarettes.

This is also considered to be the tobacco and alcohol culture in China. Tobacco and alcohol always come from home.

"I said to the village chief, why did you come so early?" After Ye Xianglai took the cigarette and lit it, he asked the old village chief Ye Xianghai with a smile.

"Haha, you came very early, weren't you?" Ye Xianghai smiled after taking a sip of cigarettes.

"Isn't this for eating this delicious dish? It's all about 'early birds eat insects'." Ye Xiangkai said.

"Bah, you are a bird, you are a worm."

The old village chief Ye Xianghai looked at Ye Xiangkai angrily and said, "The early birds eat insects." As he came first, Ye Xianglai became a bird in his eyes.

"Haha, as long as there is something delicious, I will become a bird." Ye Xianglai said with a smile.

"This is the truth. Honor, what dishes were prepared for us tonight?" Ye Xianghai looked at Ye Rongyao and asked.

"We will have hot pot tonight." Ye Rongyao said.

"It's such a cold day, it's good to eat hot pot."

Ye Xianglai nodded and said. After all, it is so cold now. No matter how delicious the dishes are, they will probably not drink half of the wine and the dishes will be cold.

The hot dish becomes colder, and the taste is much worse, so whether in the south or north, everyone likes to eat hot pot during the coldest days in winter.

...

"Glory, it's also fish hotpot, why do you make better than others' cooking?" After half full, the old village chief Ye Xianghai put down his chopsticks and asked.

Ye Xianghai did not eat less of this fish hot pot, but the fish hot pot I ate elsewhere did not taste so good.

"Yes, Rongyao tells us that next time you will get a fish hotpot at home, and don't want it to be so delicious. It's enough to be half as delicious as you cook." Ye Rongfa also put down his chopsticks and said.

"Actually, it is very important to make fish hot pot. In our country, it is best to choose green fish for fish hot pot. The green fish is thick and tender, delicious, rich in fat, and has large and few thorns. However, the fish gall must be cleaned up at all, and the fish gall is poisonous." Ye Rongyao said.

Greenfish is a green-colored fish, mainly distributed in plain areas south of the Yangtze River and is sparse to the north of the Yangtze River. It is an important fishery resource in the middle, lower reaches and along the rivers and lakes, and the main breeding objects in various lakes and ponds. It is one of the "Four Great Fish" cultivated in freshwater in China.

"Glory, it's not just the fish problem. I've eaten a lot of hot pot with green fish, but it's not as delicious as you do. You can't hide your own personalities." said the old village chief Ye Xianghai.
