On Li Xiaoran's side, the bacon has been marinated for several days, and the sausages have been hung outside to dry for several days.
Luo Cheng went up the mountain with Li Shun, brought a basket and a machete, went up the mountain to chop some cypress branches and came back.
To make bacon sausages delicious, cypress branches are essential.
The leaves of the cypress tree burn with a special aroma, smoked on the bacon sausage, it tastes very fragrant.
Li Xiaoran stayed at home to help her mother hang up those bacon sausages.
Because Luo Cheng never cooked a fire before, and naturally he didn't have a fire, he could only temporarily find a corner and arrange it as a place for the fire to burn.
Li Xiaoran felt a sense of accomplishment in her heart when all the pieces of meat were hung under the roof beams.
"Sister, this is the first time I see so many bacon sausages hanging in our house. We smoked so many pieces before, and we didn't eat them. At that time, I just watched Watching Li Yan and the others eating, they swallowed their saliva desperately. Now, I don't have to watch others eat bacon sausage, we can eat it too!" Li Xiaoqing said, thinking of what happened last year.
When these words came out, everyone else felt sad.
Guan Kang, who was helping out, looked at Li Xiaoqing in surprise when he heard Li Xiaoqing's words.
"Miss Xiaoqing, did you have such a hard time in the past?"
Li Xiaoqing nodded, and then told about the hard days she used to do in the old Li's house.
To be honest, with Li Xiaoqing's speech, Li Xiaoran listened as if it was a long time ago.
In fact, they left Lao Li's house for less than three months.
All the pains of yesterday have disappeared, and now the good days have just begun!
After listening to what Li Xiaoqing said, Guan Kang suddenly sighed.
"I thought that I was already having a bad time, but I didn't expect that Miss Xiaoqing, your family would be more miserable than me! Compared with you, at least I was full when I was healing. , Dressing warmly is already a great thing!"
Li Xiaoqing nodded when she heard Guan Kang's words, like a big sister, and said steadily: "No! If it is, Kang Er, you must cherish everything you have now!"
"Well, I always cherish everything I have!" Guan Kang said.
"You girl, you are not that old yet, but you can enlighten others!" Zhao Xiu couldn't help laughing when she heard the conversation between the two.
"San Bo Niang, I think Sister Xiaoqing is right!" Guan Kang said solemnly.
"Okay, you think she's right! Just be happy!" Zhao Xiu replied with a smile.
Li Xiaoran glanced at her sister when she heard this.
"Actually, I always think that the most transparent person in our family is my sister Xiaoqing! I used to be confused, but my sister is always sober!"
Li Xiaoqing heard her elder sister compliment her, she immediately puffed up her chest, and said happily: "My elder sister is also very powerful. The reason why my elder sister was like that before was because you didn't fully understand. Later, my sister bumped her head and went to the gate of **** to meet the Lord of Hell, and she realized it after experiencing life and death!"
Li Xiaoran immediately became happy when she heard this.
"Sister, where did you learn this from?"
"I heard what the elders in the village said! The elders in the village always say that about my sister!" Li Xiaoqing said in a plausible manner.
Everyone laughed.
"Sure enough, there is an old man in the family, and there is a treasure. Our little sister Xiaoqing went to listen to the words of so many old people in the village, and got a lot of treasures and understood a lot of truth!" Luo Ziyang was on the side praised.
"That's right, Big Brother Ziyang has the vision and can see people!" Li Xiaoqing imitated those old people, made a gesture of touching his beard, and then said with an old-fashioned look.
"Hahahaha!" Li Xiaoran couldn't help it anymore, and laughed heartily at this moment.
"What are you laughing at, I can hear your laughter from afar!" At this time, Li Shun and Luo Cheng came back with a basket of cypress branches.
Zhao Xiu and Li Xiaoran hurriedly stepped forward to help and took off the basket on their backs.
"Dad, why did you cut the cypress branches so quickly and come back?" Li Xiaoran asked with a smile: "We didn't say anything before, but we were amused by the way Xiaoqing learned from the old man!"
Li Shun heard this, so he smiled and took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.
"We have cypress trees on the edge of the valley, and they have grown a lot. So my son-in-law and I went to cut some and came back. It's relatively close anyway, so we'll cut it after the fire is finished. !"
"Will that not be cut down by the people in the village?" Li Xiaoqing remembered something and asked, "If there is a cypress tree so close to the village, the people in the village will definitely come here too. chopped!"
"No, the mountain forest behind this valley is also mine. When I bought this valley to build a house, I even bought that mountain forest. So, no one will come here to cut it down. A cypress branch!" Luo Cheng thought of something and said.
"No wonder! No wonder people in the village never go this way, so that's what happened!" Li Shun said suddenly.
The whole family is relieved to hear such news.
After the fire was raised, the cypress branches were put on it, and the crackling sound came, and the smoked bacon sausage started this year.
Once you start smoking bacon sausage, you can't leave people during the day.
The weather was getting cold outside, so Luo Ziyang and Guan Kang sat around the fire to bake.
When I walked to the shop, I saw Yuan Cheng wandering back and forth outside the shop.
"Yuan Cheng, why are you standing outside? It's so cold outside, why don't you go into the shop?" Li Xiaoran asked in confusion.
"Brother Luo Cheng, Sister Xiaoran, you are here! Today a guest came to the shop, and I said that the shop would not open until noon, but the other party kept dying and sitting at the table. The table has been waiting, and I don't want to leave." Yuan Cheng came forward at this moment and said anxiously.
Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran looked at each other when they heard this, then walked towards the shop together.
At this time, there were indeed two people sitting in the shop.
One is a man in brocade clothes, and the other is a guard dressed in strong suits.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the brocade-clothed man didn't turn his head, but opened his mouth.
"What? We haven't seen you for a while. The seventh brother doesn't know the third brother?"
Luo Cheng looked at the profile of the man in front of him, and then replied, "The third brother still recognizes my brother?"
