Chapter 695 694. Drinking Big Wine (35)

Hans was not interested in roasted peanuts, but when Li Du came up with baked potatoes, he was a little moved.

Americans cannot live without potatoes, and mashed and baked potatoes are almost a staple food.

The mouse stole several large potatoes. After the fire roasted the potatoes, they were scorched and ugly on the outside, but when the outer layer of skin was peeled off, the inside was roasted yellow-white potato flesh.

It's freezing cold, the freshly baked potatoes are steaming, and the aroma of the ingredients keeps getting into the noses of several people, making people unable to help but whet their appetites.

Li Ducet gave Ah Miao a piece. Ah Miao didn't like to eat these vegetarian dishes, but considering the delicious roasted potatoes, he could eat two bites.

Godzilla likes to eat this kind of thing, and he devours it after peeling off the potato skin.

Hans took a small potato and said, "It looks good, let me try it."

Li Du said: "Don't force it, don't eat if you don't want to eat, there is a big meal at noon."

Hans quickly peeled off the potato skin, and after taking a bite of the potato, he laughed happily: "The taste is not bad, um, I can eat it if I live."

The last baked sweet potatoes were wrapped in mud. Li Du picked them out with a branch. The mud was covered with plant ash, which was ugly in color and smelled bad.

Hans was even more disgusted: "Is this thing still edible?"

Li Du knocked open the mud layer on the outside of the sweet potato, revealing the crumpled sweet potato skin baked inside.

The skin of the sweet potato was kept clean before the fire. He tore open the skin of the sweet potato, and a steam thicker than that of baked potatoes came out. Of course, at the same time, there was a smell that was sweeter than that of baked potatoes.

Hans, who had just been whetted by the potatoes, got excited, grabbed the roasted sweet potatoes and took a bite, he laughed and said, "This is really delicious."

After the peanuts, potatoes and sweet potatoes were all eaten, Hans rubbed his belly and sighed, "I'm so full, damn it, I might not be able to eat at noon."

Li Du asked, "Shall I bake something else for you?"

Hans shook his head: "No, no, I'm full, I can't eat any more."

"You really don't want to eat?"

Hans said firmly: "I really don't want to eat it. In fact, what's so delicious about it? I must be too hungry just now, otherwise how could I eat mouse food?"

Li Du smiled and said, "That's good."

He covered the fire with earth to put out the fire, pushed away the ash, and buried a bird's egg in it.

Hans was surprised: "Eggs have to be baked? Seriously, buddy..."

"Needless to say, as long as you don't eat." Li Du interrupted him.

Godzilla and Dao continued to work, and continued to move the plow very fast. The speed may not be as fast as that of a rotary tiller, but it is much faster than that of an ox pulling a plow.

Li Du waited for a while, then pulled away the ashes and took out the eggs inside.

He peeled off the eggshell, revealing a snow-white egg.

Ah Meow, who was playing with dirt clods by herself, sniffled, and suddenly raised her head to look at Li Du's hand. After seeing the peeled egg, she sat down obediently, wagging her tail and waiting for the food.

Li Du divided the egg into two halves and fed it to Ah Miao. Ah Miao ate the egg in two bites, with a look of unsatisfactory expression on her face.

Father Li originally planned to do more than three days of farm work, but let Godzilla and Dao finish it in one morning.

They plowed the land back and forth twice, during which time they worked all the time without any rest, and there was no need to rest. This kind of intensive work was no pressure for them.

The pair push plows across the fields as if they were walking, with Godzilla pushing the coulter like an ordinary man pushing a pram.

Just as they were about to call it a day, Mother Li came back and called them back for dinner.

Li Du asked, "What do you eat today?"

Mother Li said: "According to what you said, I bought a lot of beef and mutton. It has just snowed and the weather is cold these days. How about we eat hot pot at home?"

Li Du hadn't eaten hot pot with his parents for a long time, so he said happily, "Of course, it's good."

Apart from the few of them on the ground, there were also neighbors watching the excitement. Everyone hadn't left yet, and more than a dozen people stayed here smoking and chatting.

Out of politeness, Li Du invited: "Why are you staying here after noon? Come on, go to my house for dinner?"

His uncle said with a smile: "Has your family prepared such meals? Just treat your colleagues to eat. They have worked hard today."

Mother Li greeted: "I bought 40 catties of beef, do you think my family has prepared enough? I also bought a lot of mutton. Let's go and eat at my house at noon."

When they heard that they bought so much beef and mutton for hot pot, these old men were moved.

Winter is the right time to eat beef and mutton hot pot, but now the price of beef and mutton is not cheap, people will not buy it casually if they have nothing to do, it is a lie to say that they are not greedy.

Father Li could not understand the thoughts of these neighbors and friends. He waved and said: "Let's go, don't dawdle here, let's go to have a big drink at noon, but you can bring rice cookers when you go back. My family doesn't have so many cookers."

We are all fellow villagers. Although the village has been merged into the county seat, we still walk around very close at ordinary times.

In this way, Li Du's family invited one after another, and everyone was no longer polite, and several people immediately said:

"Okay, you guys go there first, I'll go home and get the pot." "My brother-in-law got me a bottle of pure grain wine, and I'll take it home." "Is there not enough stools at Dashan's house? I'll take some over there."

After washing his hands at home, Li Du helped his mother cut the meat.

Originally, Li's mother planned to eat hot pot. Half of the beef and mutton were cut into slices by machine when they bought it, but they didn't expect so many people to come, so they had to cut some more.

Da Ao entered the kitchen and asked, "Boss, shall I come?"

Someone heard this and asked Li's father, "These two big guys are really Xiao Du's colleagues? Why do I hear them call him 'BOSS'? Isn't that what the boss means?"

Father Li rubbed his hands habitually and said, "Did you hear me wrong? Xiao Du works with his teacher in the United States, how could he be the boss?"

When Li Du heard this, he explained casually: "I'm a small supervisor. The two of them work with me. BOSS not only means the boss, but also means the boss and the leader."

A few people nodded suddenly. Most of them were elderly, and their understanding of English was only some simple vocabulary they heard when they occasionally heard their children recite words or watched American TV dramas with their children.

Father Li pulled out the electric socket in the living room, and put three large electric hot pots on it.

Because it was intended to entertain Hans and the others, Mother Li prepared well. She stewed beef bone soup in a pressure cooker in advance, and then poured the beef bone soup into the electric hot pot. It was thick and fragrant.

Put wolfberry, onion, ginger, garlic, star anise, fennel and dried mushrooms in the soup pot, then pour in the hot pot base, and then increase the power to stew.

The hot pot boiled, and Li Du directly introduced beef and mutton slices into the pot.

He knew the appetite of Godzilla and Da Ao, so apart from the four of them, there was only one mother left at this table, and father Li led the others to sit at the other table.
