Chapter 179: The Jealous Yellow Dog
After Zhou Heng scraped the skin of the pork belly, he took it to the kitchen to cook it.
The process of making this salted vegetable button meat is similar everywhere, and the difference may only be in the quality of the meat and salted vegetables, and of course the homemade is the most delicious.
Put the washed pork belly into the pot with cold water, add cooking wine, ginger, and green onions to remove the smell, cook in the pot until the chopsticks can be inserted, and then you can take it out.
Then, spread some homemade sauce on the pork skin to adjust the color, then prick some eyes with a toothpick to breathe, and then fry the meat skin in the pan to give it the color of tiger skin spots.
After cooling, cut the meat thicker, put it into a bowl piece by piece, and then take the salted vegetables from the full jar and fry them in oil in a pot until fragrant, spread them on top of the meat, and take them to the pot to steam them.
They have a special dish for salted vegetables, which is only available in winter, and few people eat fresh, and they are basically used for salted vegetables.
After marinating in winter, you can eat it for a year or two.
Usually there is no time to cook when the farm is busy, or when there is a shortage of vegetables, this is a frequent customer at the table.
In the past, when Zhou Heng went to school, he didn't know how many catties of such dishes he brought to school.
Dishes like this, which used to be a little disgusting, are now sold at a very high price in the market. After eating too much meat, many people still miss this taste.
However, in the past, it was just fried with some oil, and I was willing to eat it like this, so I used to eat this dish only when I was seated (drinking happy wine).
It has to be said that the standard of living has indeed improved now.
Zhou Heng was helping by the stove while answering various questions from the old lady.
For example, what is the situation in Shiquan Village now, how is the food over there, she is also afraid that her son will suffer outside, and secondly, she is also a little curious.
After all, it's a place I haven't been to.
I don't know if it's as poor as the legend says.
Zhou Heng said: "In fact, it's the same everywhere, those who have the ability have already bought a house in the county or other places, and only those who have no way will continue to stay in the village." ”
In fact, he can still imagine the problems that the volunteer teachers there will encounter - those who have a way to move out, and the children will not leave them at home to go to school, so those who stay are very poor.
Many people have a concept: Cang Liao knows etiquette and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing, so it is natural to say that these poor children are also very unqualified and difficult to educate.
I don't know if those children who are particularly poor will be taken seriously.
In fact, as far as Zhou Heng lived there for a few days, the children were really very polite. Without their parents at home, their grandparents will also teach them some basic moral etiquette.
It's just that their lives are not good, and they are reincarnated in poor families.
Busy with work, the dishes are finished one by one, and then they are served together, and it is time for dinner.
In the summer, it is cool to eat in the yard, but now it is a little cold, and the food is also cold quickly, and in two days I will all go to the main house to eat.
Salted cabbage button pork, pork ribs and lotus root soup, as well as some usual home-cooked dishes, a large table.
Zhou Heng shouted to his father: "Dad, eat a lot of this meat, don't be reluctant to eat it." ”
Li Yunlian took a chopstick dish and said: "Your father used to eat meat very well, he could eat two catties of meat at a meal, and he had to eat more fat, but now that he is older, he doesn't dare to eat like that." The doctor said to have thick blood lipids and high blood pressure. ”
That means that in the past, there was a lot of physical work, and after a long time without meat, you could eat a lot of meat.
Now, the living conditions have improved, especially after Zhou Heng came back, basically he has never cut off meat at every meal, he has enough oil and water, and his physical work is much easier, so naturally he can't eat so much.
Zhou Heng didn't mention it, and there was never a record of eating two catties of meat at a meal.
For eating meat, his combat effectiveness is not very good.
The people at the table were eating and chatting, and the atmosphere was very high.
Zhou Heng sighed a little, in the past, in addition to eating with customers or having dinner with colleagues, most of them ate alone, and they didn't realize it before, but now they really feel that they were too lonely before.
Now that I'm back, there are basically a lot of people who eat at one meal, and they can all be called big pot rice, and the food is really delicious.
After Meimei finished eating, he leaned back in the chair and didn't want to move.
After going to Shiquan Village for a few days, he didn't feel how bitter it was, but when he came back for a meal, he felt that he was eating meat vigorously, maybe he was really hungry.
Today, the big yellow dog mixed a broth meal and ate it, and he had a bulging stomach and lay down there to rest.
Zhou Heng beckoned to it and called it over, and the big yellow dog immediately ran over and lay down at his feet.
Good dog.
Zhou Heng smoothed the hair on its back, which made it so comfortable that it didn't want to open its eyes.
Dogs really like to interact with humans.
Zhou Heng suddenly remembered the last video - the one "Dancing with the Eagle" taken in Shiquan Village last time, although the signal was very weak, but finally found a way to upload it.
That video got the highest number of likes ever.
The snake carving is rare enough, but dancing with it comfortably and freely like that is even more rare, people did not expect that this sand sculpture actually has a dancing talent, and it is still a little beautiful to dance with its wings.
Of course, I was more envious of Zhou Heng for having such luck.
In the past, the snake carving was photographed a lot, but because I didn't want to reveal its address, I didn't send any reference objects, so as not to be targeted by people watching the video, what if it attracted poachers?
Therefore, Zhou Heng has never appeared in the camera, let alone let people know that snake carvings often come to the rabbit farm.
But last time, he just went to a small village deep in the mountains, and there was no specific reference location, so there was no big problem in shooting it.
As for such a magical and romantic thing as "Dancing with the Eagle", it can only be explained in some uncertain language, after all, there is "Dancing with the Wolf" in front, and there is nothing that can never happen.
People are just envious of Zhou Heng's luck, he actually had the opportunity to meet the snake carving, and they can dance together, which is really envious of others.
Zhou Heng found out this video because he wanted to show the big yellow dog, and then he would have a copy with it. After all, my dear dog also has to be on the video often, and it has a lot of fans.
However, things are developing in an unpredictable direction - after Zhou Heng clicked on the video, the big yellow dog saw him dancing with the eagle, and immediately became angry, baring his teeth at the sand sculpture in the video for a while, as if it was here.
It is inherently incompatible with the sand sculpture, and as soon as they meet, they are hostile to each other and want to fight.
At this time, even if it is a video, it is very unhappy, and it wants to yell at it.
Especially seeing that this guy is still so close to his master, it makes him even more angry.
Zhou Heng really didn't expect that the big yellow dog would be so stingy.
He turned off the video, laughed, comforted it over and over again, and said, "Okay, okay, don't be angry, I'll shoot a video with you tomorrow, okay? Okay, okay, don't scream, it's not here, you're angry." ”
The big yellow dog was extremely aggrieved, his mouth was "whining", and he squeezed into Zhou Heng's arms, looking even more affectionate than before.
Alas, this guy.
Zhou Heng patted his head and back, and said, "Okay, okay, let's go out and play, okay? Let's go, don't be so stingy." ”
Then he stood up and walked out, and the big yellow dog followed excitedly.
It's really coaxing, it was still aggrieved a second ago, and when I heard that we were going to play together, I turned my face and became excited.
Out of the door, the entire open space is its world, Zhou Heng raised his hand, and the big yellow dog immediately stood upright and jumped up to top his hand.
Zhou Heng's hand was raised again and again, and it jumped up again and again, having a lot of fun.
Sometimes he ran a few steps, and the big yellow dog tried to catch up, but he stopped sharply and turned a corner, and the big yellow dog couldn't stop the car, and ran a few steps before turning around and catching up with him again.
Even so, it had a lot of fun.
When you are full, you have to move like this to promote digestion.
On the way, he met some people who had gone out for a walk after dinner, and Zhou Heng greeted them.
Seeing that more and more people were walking towards Teacher Liu's house, Zhou Heng asked someone curiously: "Uncle Hu, is there anything going on at Teacher Liu's house today?"
Mr. Liu is an old teacher who has taught two generations in the village, and he is also the teacher who taught shadow puppetry before.
I don't know why so many people gathered at his house, but it didn't look like there was some kind of wedding banquet to be put on display.
Mr. Liu celebrated his 70th birthday in the first half of the year, his sons have already married a family, and his grandchildren are not going to get married or anything.
Why is it so lively all of a sudden?
Lao Hu told Zhou Heng: "Teacher Liu is going to prepare for a shadow puppet show, and he will start singing at half past seven in the evening, and now he is starting to prepare, and those people are all going to see the excitement." ”
Zhou Heng asked in wonder: "It's not a year, why did you suddenly say that you want to sing?"
Teacher Liu said that tourists will come to the village in a few days, and he and Lao He called a person from the opera troupe to come, and they will sing for free in those days to attract tourists. These days are rehearsals. Lao Hu said.
Zhou Heng suddenly understood, it would be New Year's Day in a few days, and those tourists had already said that they would come over for sightseeing on New Year's Day.
Teacher Liu took this seriously, and asked Lao He and some of their people to sing for free to tourists.
The news that the tourists were coming was told to him by Tan Songtao's students when they called Teacher Liu.
In fact, those students also have good intentions, hoping to bring some economy to the village.
However, they did not think of the real problem.
As soon as they said that someone was coming, the villagers immediately made preparations in a hurry.
And this Teacher Liu is really sincere, people say they are coming, but the people on the Internet are actually very happy, maybe only three or two people come, he still deserves such a grand reception?
At this time, if I went to tell Mr. Liu, saying that these people might just talk, I don't know how disappointed this seventy-year-old teacher would be.
It is estimated that Mr. Liu is also thinking about doing his best to promote the old art of shadow puppetry as much as possible, and on the other hand, he also wants to let tourists have fun.
Jiang Xiaoxuan was behind him, patting him and the dog all the way, seeing that they were chatting, and seeing Zhou Heng's expression as if something had happened, he stepped forward and asked him, "Did something happen?"
Zhou Heng sighed, pointed to the people who came to Teacher Liu's house, and said, "Teacher Liu is specially preparing to sing shadow puppets for free in order to welcome the tourists who are coming over on New Year's Day. ”
Jiang Xiaoxuan let out an "ah".
For a while, she also had an indescribable feeling in her heart.
It's not easy to be a seventy-year-old, and singing at night is not such an easy job.
