Early this morning, Yi Shaofeng first gave them the money from Cousin Zhu and Cousin Lei, in case it was found by his mother, it would not be so easy to ask for it again.

Both of them have almost 70 yuan, which is a huge amount of money for the current student body.

He pretended to have the rest of the money and walked to the head of the village. The overall layout of my village is a snake-shaped, very long, but there are not many people living in front and back.

Seeing Yi Xianhai, who had just returned with a goose, the target appeared. Yi Xianhai is about 30 years old, he has no strengths, he is afraid of being tired of farming, he can't make money, and the only thing he can do is the ability to raise livestock. In my previous life, he was the first to engage in breeding in the village, and he did well.

"Xianhai, your goose is so big, and my goose is still a boy. ”

"Of course, mine has been fed for almost two months more than yours. Why did Uncle come to the village today?"

More than 80% of the entire village is surnamed Yi, and the previous generations are all related, so they attach more importance to the seniority, although Yi Xianhai is much older than him, but the seniority is low, so he has to call him uncle.

The whole village is from the bottom to the top, and the older the senior, the lower the rank. I once felt strange, so I asked my father, and the answer I got was that the brothers of the ancestor were divided, and the eldest was divided in the village, but after so many generations, the natural generation was much lower.

"Do you want to sell the goose?"

"Why do you want to buy it? Then I won't sell it, otherwise the master will probably come to me for trouble." ”

Master is the name of Yi Shaofeng's father.

"How about buying two for 50 yuan and ensuring that no one comes looking for them?"

Hearing the price, Yi Xianhai was also a little tempted. Anyway, the master will not be unreasonable, and when the time comes, he will really find it, and the goose will return the money. The two discussed and determined that Yi Xianhai brought straw ropes, caught two of them, and sent the geese to their home.

When I got home, there was no one at home. Mom and Dad and eldest sister seem to have gone to the field, and as for the second sister, you can't stay at home alone.

After Yi Xianhai left, Yi Shaofeng did not untie the straw rope that tied the goose. He began to boil water, scooped a few scoops of water into the pot, lit the fire, and set up a few sticks of wood in the stove. took out the big pot at home, and Yi Shaofeng took out a kitchen knife from the kitchen and prepared to kill the goose. He has never had much fear of killing, of course, it does not include killing, even if he does not break the law, he probably doesn't have the courage.

Although goose blood is not as tender as chicken blood, it is also a good delicacy, Yi Shaofeng can't catch the blood at all when he kills it alone, and it can only be wasted. Like his mother killing chickens, he plucked the feathers from the head of the goose's neck, stepped on the two feet of the goose with his limbs, pinched the goose's head with his left hand, and cut the goose's trachea with a knife with his right hand, so that the blood flowed directly to the ground. Anyway, it's muddy, and it'll be clean with a shovel later.

So repeatedly, after the two geese were killed, it also made Yi Shaofeng sweat tiredly. Put the goose in a large basin, extinguish the fire in the stove, and add a scoop of cold water to the boiling water in the pot, the boiling water will burn the skin of the goose. Pour water over the goose in the pot. Goose feathers are a good thing, there are many people who go to the countryside to collect, and it is quite expensive, so the goose is generally pulled out without water at home, although it is laborious, but the price of goose feathers is higher. Yi Shaofeng did not choose to pull out the dry plucking without his own strength, and the goose feathers faded. Gong goose has requirements for killing geese, can not open the abdomen dissect, can only be under the stomach by the buttocks, with a knife to cut a wound, pull out the internal organs. The internal organs are not going to be cleaned up, although the goose gizzard and marinade taste excellent, but Yi Shaofeng really has no energy to clean up, so he can only wait for his mother to come back to clean up and fry it at night.

Put the marinade in the pot, add water, and throw the oil out of the goose into the pot. Cover the pot and burn. It is best to cook in a honeycomb stove, because the cooking time is long and the fire temperature is well controlled, but there is no time for Yi Shaofeng to start the furnace, and then wait for the fire to burn, so I chose the earthen stove at home. (There are materials needed for the tribute goose in Du Niang, which will not be introduced here).

The marinade in the pot boiled for more than an hour, Yi Shaofeng put the goose in, and then removed part of the firewood and changed it to a simmer to slowly marinate.

As the heat steames, so does the aroma. When my parents came back at noon, he had already fished out the goose.

I often marinate vegetables at home, so I am no stranger to the aroma of marinade. Seeing that it was him, my father went to the goose cage to check the geese at home and found that there were many of them, so he didn't care.

He asked the eldest sister to chop up the goose, cut it into pieces, then pat a little garlic seeds on it, pour two spoonfuls of soup, and serve it to the table.

Originally, my father didn't drink at noon, but when he saw that there were braised vegetables, he poured a glass of white wine, picked up a piece of goose neck, put it in his mouth, and nodded imperceptibly.

"Your marinade is not the one I use. ”

The older the braised soup, the better, so there is an aluminum pot with a lid at home where my father's stewed soup has been stored earlier.

"No, this is the material you brought me to buy last time, and I prepared it myself. The recipe was told to me by Grandpa Ma, and he said that it was a unique recipe for the canteen of the University of Technology. ”

As she spoke, she looked at her father, who kept wanting to interject, and she wanted to ask where the goose came from.

"Dad, how about we use this recipe to open a store in the provincial capital?"

"Just sell this goose? You don't have to starve to death. ”

"Of course, this is not the only dish, I have other dishes that use goose as the main ingredient, and they all taste very good. ”

"Okay, I'll think about this and discuss it with your little aunt another day. ”

After eating, under the pressure of his mother, he handed over the rest of the money, and he was still a big eater, blaming him for buying geese and spending money indiscriminately.

In the afternoon, my mother came back early, because the family had to invite someone to dinner in the evening. I thought it was because of the scorpion, and I wanted to invite a few families to get together, but the people who came made him a little confused, and Yi Xianhai was actually among them.

When he was drinking, his father made his words clear, and he realized that these people had adult geese to sell at home. Dad told them that the purchase price was 2 yuan and 5 pounds. As a result, as soon as the words came out, they all agreed to sell, no one is a fool, and the salted goose pickled and dried in the countryside was sold for more than 3 yuan. And a 10-pound goose is good to have 5 pounds after drying.

After dinner, there is now no entertainment in the countryside. Because the family collects scorpions, my father is too lazy to go out and catch them one by one, so my parents go to bed early. The second sister had already gone to the village chief's uncle's house to watch TV. There are two TVs in the village, one of which was bought by the village chief's uncle's family.

The 14-inch black and white big butt TV can only receive two channels in many cases, one is the provincial TV station and the other is CCTV1. This also makes the village feel very fresh, when the farm is slack, the courtyard of the village chief's uncle's house is crowded, and it is more lively than the lottery activities in his own supermarket in his previous life.

More than 20 years later, when someone interviewed him and asked him about the reason for his success, he smiled and said that it was because of two geese, which confused everyone, and he did not explain.
