Chapter 183 Ants Climb the Tree

At the beginning of the 2000th year, there were many people engaged in the countryside at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and even if they got married, there were still many.

Thinking of this, Xu Qingxuan suddenly announced: "Dongzi, you should spend a few days off this holiday, and come back to work next week! I'm planning to take Cancan back to our hometown in Yucheng next week to get engaged!"

"What? You, are you going to get engaged? Are you robbing me of your idea?! I, I, first, I want to get engaged!"

Li Dongxu suddenly became angry. Xu Qingxuan was so shameless!

"But you also said that you will get engaged after graduating from high school, and Cancan and I will graduate from high school this year! It's normal to get engaged!"

Xu Qingxuan is a rare young man with a high spirit when speaking. When he thought that he would soon get engaged to Jin Can, he was in a particularly good mood.

"Oh my God, you two are better at studying than us. You have graduated from high school before you even get an adult! Now you have to grab us in front of you even if you get engaged. What's the law of nature?!"

Li Dongxu was really depressed. He knew the advantages of good grades. No matter who knew someone had good grades, he would regard him as a good young man! Even though someone could not do housework, could not make money, etc.

China is a country that attaches great importance to learning. As long as students study well, they can turn a blind eye to anything bad.

"The law of heaven has always taken the side of good people! Cancan and I are good, and we have good grades, and it is normal for heaven to be biased." Xu Qingxuan answered angrily.

"Xiao Xuanzi, where is your face? You are really shameless! You are too narcissistic, right?!" Li Dongxu was completely speechless. This person not only has invincible grades, but only has thick skin!

"Xu Qingxuan, I'm the first time I've found that you are really narcissistic?! You said you're engaged, you're engaged. Have you discussed with Xiao Jinzi? Have you proposed to Xiao Jinzi?" With Gan Lulu's question, Xu Qingxuan kept shook her head, and she became a big head: "You, are you too confident? You want to get engaged, but Xiao Jinzi doesn't think so too? What if she doesn't want to!"

"Yes, Ganlulu, you're right! I have to discuss it with Cancan." Xu Qingxuan accepted Ganlulu's objection, but he believed that Jincan was not a superficial person, and she should be able to think of the reason why he wanted to get engaged to her earlier.

When Li Dongxu heard the two of them coming over directly, Daming went over and suggested: "Xiao Xuanzi, no, Qingzi, let me call you like this in the future! I call you Xiao Xuanzi and I think it sounds nice, but Lulu also calls you like this, I feel something is wrong, it sounds too close! Not good!"

"It's up to you. I didn't let you call me Xiao Xuanzi before. I've said that this is Cancan's exclusive name to me. If you don't listen, now after you have a girlfriend, you will know whether it's good or bad? It seems that it's very necessary for a boy to find a decent girlfriend earlier. She can at least make the boy mature sooner!"

Before, when Xu Qingxuan saw Li Dongxu, he felt a little like a man looking at a boy, but after returning from abroad for a week, he found that the boy who had a girlfriend looked much more reliable.

"Okay, don't you hand over the work? Hurry up, you can have dinner later!" Ganlulu also heard Li Dongxu say that he could only rest for one week and he would have to continue busy next week and become a dog!

The supper was very rich, with steamed sea fish, steamed crabs, braised beef, white chopped chicken, ants climbing trees, green peppers and eggs, garlic and vegetables, shrimp balls and winter melon soup. Everyone was happy to eat, and accidentally ate all the dishes on the table.

Ganlulu is a native of Haicheng. It is the first time that white-cut chickens and ants are climbing trees. When I was walking in the yard, I was still discussing them with Jin Can: "Little Jinzi, your Yucheng dishes are really good. The white-cut chicken tastes really special. It is spicy, numb and fragrant, and it smells enough. There are also ants climbing trees. This name is so interesting. When I heard you say you want this dish, I really thought you were going to make ants, which scared me! Can you tell me the origin of this dish?"

"Yucheng has many special dishes, but I don't cook them authentically, and the taste has been reduced a lot. Otherwise, you who eat light food all year round will not be accustomed to the authentic spicy flavor. In the future, you will take you to eat authentic Yucheng hot pot, especially the newly opened hot pot in our hometown. The taste is really so good!

As for ants climbing trees, the origin of this dish is said to be related to Dou E, a character written by the Yuan Dynasty playwright Guan Hanqing. In order to go to court, scholar Dou Tianzhang gave his daughter Dou E a child bride to the creditor Grandma Cai before leaving in Chuzhou. Dou E was filial to her mother-in-law in the Cai family and served her husband. Life was quite good. Unexpectedly, shortly after she got married with her husband, her husband died of illness, and her mother-in-law fell ill in bed. Dou E took on the burden of the family with her weak shoulders. While she asked for medical treatment for her mother-in-law, she tried every means to make some delicious meals in a variety of ways to take care of her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law gradually improved. It was just because she was sitting in vain and her economy became tense.

Dou E had to bite the bullet and go on credit. In front of the meat case, the meat seller said: 'You haven't paid back the money you owed the previous two times, and you can't get any more credit today. Dou E had to be kind enough. The meat seller was so entangled and cut a small piece of meat for Dou E. It's time to cook, Dou E thought, what can you do with such a little meat? Her thinking eyes fell on the top of the cupboard, which had a small handful of vermicelli left during the Chinese New Year. Dou E had an idea. She took off the vermicelli, soaked it in boiling water, cut the meat into powder, add green onion, ginger and stir-fry it, put in soy sauce, stir-fry the vermicelli for a while, and finally added shredded green garlic and pepper to the pot. In this way, the ant climbed the tree and passed on it!"

Jin Can has been used to eating spicy food since he was a child. What he didn't get used to when he was in Haicheng is that the dishes here are either steamed or sweet and sour. It's a bit uncomfortable to think about it.

Fortunately, she also knew that she had to follow the customs when entering the countryside. Everyone in Haicheng would eat so much, which would definitely be better for her health. If she really missed the dishes in Yucheng, she would cook a few dishes to satisfy her cravings by herself.

As a native of Yucheng, she likes eating vermicelli. She likes this ant before climbing a tree. The vermicelli cooked tonight was all specially brought to Haicheng from Yucheng. When she ate it, she felt the taste of her hometown.

"Your story sounds like it was made up. However, I still reluctantly accept it! But this vermicelli is really delicious, so you can make it tomorrow!"

Ganlulu has only eaten small white vermicelli before. This vermicelli made of sweet potatoes is much more delicious, elastic and smooth. I want to eat it once.

"If you like eating vermicelli, we will make hot and sour noodles tomorrow morning. This thing is delicious too! I will put the vermicelli on it later. When I get up tomorrow morning, we will all make hot and sour noodles!"

Jin Can is a foodie. When he meets Ganlulu, who is also a foodie, the conversation is very smooth, especially when it comes to eating, he is even more interested.
