(Please recommend votes, there are two updates today, and there is one update tonight.)

It’s dark in winter and it’s natural to eat dinner.

In the low thatched cottage, today, smoke curled up in the sky, filled with a refreshing smell of meat, and bursts of laughter and joy. This is a long-lost laughter, and it is a meat smell that has not floated out for a long time.

With the light coming from outside the door and the firelight in the fire pond in the house, several village men had already set up a long wooden table by the fire pond, and several homemade rough wooden stools were also arranged.

On the rough and even dark wooden table, several basins of freshly prepared dishes have been arranged.

A pot of pork belly stewed in a pot of pork belly with a spoonful of spoons. He stewed the fatty meat of ten kilograms of waist square in a pot, and he didn't even fry the oil and took it back a little. He even took the soup and water directly into a wooden barrel. Looking at the pieces of steaming and fragrant fat meat, Li Xiao was a little tired of seeing it, but the old men and women who had been standing there in the room couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

"I don't know the taste of meat in March. This meat is good and this meat is fragrant."

Doctor Zhao is old and used to be Li Jiapo's doctor. He has good character in treating orcs, and he is also highly respected. At this time, he stood in front and looked at the pot of plump and fragrant meat in front of him, and couldn't help but suck his nose and sigh.

Even Li Zhen, the daughter of the Lanxi landlord in the past, sucked her nose the same. A girl like Li Zhen in the past would definitely not eat pork, but now she seems to have forgotten the taste of meat.

Next to a pot of pork belly is a large plate of pork head meat cooked by Li Xiao himself. Although there is no various braised ingredients, the pork head meat cooked after several processes is still extraordinary. The thin slice of pork head meat smells fragrant and looks good, especially Dr. Zhao and others who have tried it just now are full of expectations.

There is also a pot of stewed pig blood pig brain. Add wild onions, some ginger, and some dried dogwood leaves. There is also a lot of soup, a large wooden basin, which makes people feel appetizing, red, white, green and colorful.

Originally, Li Xiao was going to make a few more dishes, stir-fry some shredded ears, fry some pork liver, braise some pig intestines, and shoot some cucumbers, but everyone said enough.

With these three dishes, plus the buckets of millet porridge and two baskets of yellow rice cakes that the women worked hard for a long time just now, the meal was even more hearty than during the Chinese New Year.

"How long has it been since it's so abundant!"

"Sanlang is back, and everyone will have hope for their lives in the future."

"Yes, I'm not afraid that Zhang Papi's family will bully us."

Everyone sighed and happy when they said everything.

Li Zhen couldn't help but shed tears again. Li Xiao went over to wipe her tears clean, "Today is a happy day. Don't think about those things. The food is ready, so don't delay it anymore. Eat while it's hot and don't get cold."

"Yeah." Li Zhen put away his tears, smiled, and nodded to his brother. When his brother comes back, everything will naturally get better.

Although the house is simple, everyone still pays great attention to etiquette.

The young and old all together had about 40, but the room was not big, and only one table was set up, so everyone suggested that Li Xiao sit in the upper seat opposite the door.

Li Xiao refused and refused.

He first invited Doctor Zhao, "Uncle Zhao is my elder. He has taken care of Sanniang for me in recent years. Today, he should be on the table."

Dr. Zhao stroked his goatee's beard, but he didn't refuse.

He dated Li Dashanren, but later he broke his leg and was in trouble. Later, his daughter insisted on marrying the dead Li Xiao. He said that he was Li Xiao's father-in-law long ago. Now that Li Xiao is back, the elders of the Li family are not here, and he said that he is indeed the one who takes over the table.

He was happy that Li Xiao came back suddenly, and was satisfied with Li Xiao's current sensibility. The prodigal son returned to his hometown and rescued them from this cold winter. One hundred cucumbers could actually get two thousand dollars back from the little bully, which made him even more amazed.

With a sigh, Lao Zhao walked upstairs and sat down with a cane.

There were two seats at the top, and Li Xiao did not sit by himself in the second seat, but instead invited Yang Dayan to sit. Yang Dayan was a little younger than Doctor Zhao, but he was also a man in his forties. He looked like an old man in his fifties. He had a silenced meal in the rebel army and was a dog-headed military advisor. But after all, he was a private school teacher who had read the saints in the past. No matter when, the Confucian robe would not be dirty.

Yang Dayan was invited by Li Xiao, and he refused a few times, then responded with a smile, sat next to Dr. Zhao amid the laughter of everyone, and the two brothers bowed to each other.

The seat was safe, but the other seats were not that important. Li Xiao sat in the second seat, and then Guo Biao accompanied him, and then arranged a few men in the village to sit down.

They were a little nervous, but Li Xiao sincerely asked, so they finally sat down.

At a long table, twelve men were squeezed out, and the rest stood behind. As for Li Zhen and Zhao Wan, they were also the heroines in the family, but women did not sit with men.

"You eat first, we will eat after we finish eating." Zhao Wan said very proudly.

"Aunt Cuihua, go and get a few more pots. Sanniang, you can set up a small table here, and you women and children are the same. Now the conditions are simple, so everyone should be more casual, and there is not so much attention." Li Xiao was unwilling to eat first, so the women who had been busy for a long time watched.

Zhao Wan was very virtuous and refused, "We women don't have to go to the table, we still kept millet porridge and pancakes over there just now."

"Obe obedient." Li Xiao looked directly at Zhao Wan. Zhao Wan's face was a little red when he was staring at her directly. She nodded in a low voice, and she didn't dare to refuse again.

Aunt Cuihua, who came from Jiangnan, was a person who was familiar with Li Xiao's personality early. She responded with a smile and directed a few women to start working.

A few dishes on the table here were packed and put on another table.

"Sanlang, please say a few words."

Dr. Zhao watched both tables sit, and the other men and women who didn't sit well also stood by with their dishes and chopsticks, and smiled at Li Xiao.

Li Xiao stood up.

"Everyone, I, Li Xiao, came back late. The Li family has suffered in the past few years, and everyone is still grateful to the Li family. Li Xiao is very grateful. I, Li Xiao, remember this kindness, I, Li Xiao, will never forget it. I will not say much. From now on, everyone will be my Li Xiao's family. From then on, we are all a family. When it comes, it is cold, I won't say much. Everyone should have a meal while it's hot."

"Everyone let go of food, don't eat leftovers, eat full. From now on, I, Li Xiao, will definitely not let everyone go hungry again."

After Li Xiao said that, he sat down, and there was no wine. He picked up the wooden bowl and drank the whole bowl of boiled water.

"eat!"

"You're welcome!"

As soon as they started to move, Li Xiao was still shocked.

It's like the wind blowing the mat, and it's like a bad tiger rushing to eat. It's so powerful that it's amazing.

Such large pieces of pork belly, no matter how old or young, are almost all bite-by-bite, chewing them all over the mouth, and they are delicious.

The yellow rice flour cake was dipped directly in the bowl with soup, then bite it in your mouth, and half a piece of cake was small in one bite.
