12. Mavericks
The general ran ahead, and the thin male dog's waist twisted bewitchingly, and trotted all the way to the door of the house.
As a result, it arrived at the door and waited to enter the door, and found that the owner had not stopped, and was still walking east.
Seeing this, it blinked in confusion, and without hesitation, it pulled its heel.
Ao Xiaoniu's house is in the east of the village, which belongs to the position of the king of the village, because it is said that the dragon king spits out the fairy water and becomes the ambergris lake in the east of the village.
When Ao Muzhi got married, his daughter-in-law Song Qiumin was easy to talk at home, and did not ask him to go to the city to buy a house and a car, and the village committee chose a homestead for him to build a new house in the east of the village.
At that time, the house was magnificent, with six large tiled houses spacious and shiny, but now it is not popular, and orphans and widows cannot support such a large house, but it looks a little bleak.
He knocked on the door, and a weak, hoarse voice sounded in the room: "Who? Ahem, the door is not closed, come in." ”
Ao Muyang pushed open the door, and a thin woman was turning her head with a handful of rape, her face was sallow, her lips were white, there was no flesh on her cheeks, and the corners of her eyes and forehead were full of wrinkles, and she looked like she was in her forties.
But Ao Muyang knew that Qiu Min's sister-in-law was only in her early thirties, and although she was sick when she first got married, she was the number one beautiful girl in seven villages and eight villages.
As a result, it has only been a few years, and the pretty big girl has become an old village woman.
This can't be said to be a beauty like a famous general since ancient times, and no one is allowed to see a white head, Ao Muyang understands that Qiu Min's sister-in-law has ended up at this step because there is no man in charge of the family, and they are all ruined by hard times!
The yard is covered with smooth cement, cleaned up, some salted fish under the windowsill, some chickens in the toilet, and some tattered fishing nets piled up in the corner of the yard that are reluctant to throw away.
Some of the windows were damaged, but instead of replacing them with new glass, a piece of plastic sheeting was nailed. The couplets on the doors and windows are gray, and they don't look like they were posted during the Spring Festival last year, but like they have been pasted for many years.
After seeing him, Qiu Min's sister-in-law frowned in confusion: "Are you?
Ao Muyang said: "Yes, sister-in-law, it's me." ”
The general squeezed out his head from behind him, a wisp of white hair waving in the wind, and it shook its head like a promiscious killer.
Listening to his words and looking at the general again, Qiu Min's sister-in-law suddenly showed a surprised expression and said: "Ah, the sheep is back? I heard that you are going to break into the capital? cough cough, come in, come in." ”
After entering the house, the embarrassment of the family was more clearly displayed in front of him.
The outside of the house is bright, but the inside is almost surrounded by walls, the household appliances are only electric lights and flashlights, and the furniture is only beds and dining tables, which are empty and smelling of medicine.
Qiu Min's sister-in-law brought him a stool, coughed and smiled: "Sister-in-law's house is a little messy, and there is a smell of medicine, don't care." ”
Ao Muyang looked at the kitchen next to him, there were two bowls of cold rice on the stove, and in the pot were stewed small miscellaneous fish. The small miscellaneous fish has fish soup, and there are not a few oil stars in the fish soup, obviously this is the dinner of the two mothers.
He didn't sit down after taking the stool, and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll come over first, you wait for me, I'll come back later." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Song Qiumin to react, he took the general out of the door.
Song Qiumin looked at his back as he walked away and smiled, his face full of bitterness and helplessness.
The rich have distant relatives in the mountains, and the poor have no one in the downtown area.
Out of the door, Ao Muyang went directly to Ao Mufeng's fisherman's house, at this time Ao Mufeng was packing up the army of cobia that he had distributed, and said with a smile after seeing Ao Muyang: "What's wrong, what's the matter with the sheep?"
Ao Muyang said: "Do you have your own old hens? Don't give me feed, I want to go to the chicken." Also, slice cobia and prepare a plate for me. ”
Ao Mufeng said with a smile: "Your requirements are not low, and you still go to the chicken, thirty yuan a catty, I feed it with small fish and shrimp, and the nutritional value is ......."
"Don't talk nonsense, get me a big one. ”
The free-range chickens in the fishing village grew up eating fish and shrimp, 30 yuan a pound is not expensive but very cheap, they just eat small fish and shrimp and conch shells in a year, and they have to count hundreds of yuan.
Ao Mufeng brought an old hen to show him, Ao Muyang nodded, weighed the money, and he carried the old hen and a plate of cobia meat home.
The next step is to kill the chicken, which is very simple for him, to bloodlet and remove the hair and guts.
He opened the pot and stewed the chicken pieces in, and put things like chicken livers and heads in the pressure cooker.
The pot turned over with white foam, he poured out the water and washed the chicken pieces repeatedly, then tore off the chicken skin and threw it into the pressure cooker, and rubbed the chicken pieces repeatedly with cooking wine and ginger powder.
After rubbing, he turned on the pressure cooker, and it smelled of fragrant chicken soup.
The soup inside, the chicken skin, chicken head, chicken tail, and internal organs belonged to the general.
Suddenly, the general's thick tail swayed happily again.
He added water to the rest of the soup, mixed it with chicken pieces, ginger pieces, and wolfberry red dates, and then simmered it on a high fire, and soon, the richer aroma of chicken soup spread throughout the small courtyard.
Ao Fugui smelled the aroma of chicken soup, threw away his chopsticks and ran over: "Why is Wori so fragrant?"
Ao Muyang said: "I stewed a chicken soup for Qiu Min's sister-in-law." ”
Ao Fugui swallowed his saliva and said, "Can you share my chicken head?"
Ao Muyang pointed at the general and said, "The chicken head, the chicken tail, and the chicken liver are all in its mouth." ”
The general licked his mouth with satisfaction, it burped, and there was a smell of chicken soup!
Stewing chicken soup over a high fire, he sliced cobia meat and served it with a hoisin sauce with crayfish head and a small bowl of horseradish sauce, black and white.
The pressure cooker made a whining sound, and the white water vapor gushed out, and Ao Fugui's eyes were straight at the scent.
Stewed until sunset, Ao Muyang sniffed his nose, then stopped the fire, and walked out of the door with a pressure cooker in his left hand and a cobia meat plate in his right hand.
Someone came out to cool off after eating, and after touching him, he sniffled and asked, "Ah, sheep, what are you stewed? Why is it so fragrant?"
Ao Muyang smiled and said: "I stewed a chicken, next time I stew it and I'll send a bowl to my uncle." ”
Greeting all the way, wafting fragrance all the way, it happened that his home was in the west of the village, Ao Muzhi's house was in the east of the village, and the aroma of chicken soup almost ran through the entire village.
This is the power of fishermen's chickens, pure ecological breeding, a chicken from the chicken to the slaughter at least one year, more than two or three years, they eat fish, shrimp, crabs and shellfish, drink mountain spring water, meat that is called a fat!
He knocked again, and soon the door opened, and a dark face poked out: "Who? Ah, Brother Yang, why are you here?"
This is naturally the Ao Xiaoniu he had just met in the afternoon, and he smiled and said: "There must be something wrong here, have you eaten?" And you have to call me Uncle Yang, why do you call me Brother Yang?
There was also this reason why he didn't recognize Ao Xiaoniu in the afternoon, the young man opened his mouth to be Brother Yang, and he didn't think about the next generation of kids.
Ao Xiaoniu said with a smile: "Aren't they all called brother now? Brother Fugui taught me, he said that he called Uncle Xian Lao." ”
Ao Muyang glared angrily: "He taught randomly, don't learn from him, go, go into the house to eat, uncle brought you and your mother chicken soup." ”
