Chapter 17

Meng Dong October 10 soon arrived, this day is the day of the village drinking ceremony, less than the fourth watch, Wang and Zhang Zhaohua with the new two jars of vinegar hurried to the grain chief's house. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When I arrived at the door, I saw that it was already full of people, and the back kitchen was even busier, among which the widow of Yima had the loudest voice, and she was shouting that the fire under the stove was not big enough.

"I can smell the meat sauce made by Aunt Ma from afar," Zhang Zhaohua took a deep breath and said, "It's so fragrant." ”

More than a dozen women rolled up their sleeves and gave her hands next to the widow Ma, these people were all chefs in the county, and they were invited to prepare the feast after the wine ceremony, and the most important "醫" at the wine ceremony was made by the grain chief himself, so the horse widow was very proud, as if her skills were really much stronger than others.

The so-called "醢" is actually meat sauce, which has been accompanied by wine and food since the Zhou Dynasty, and of course there is a more disgusting "醢 punishment", which is to chop the prisoner into meat sauce after killing him.

In this day and age, whether or not you can make the "醫" delicious is a very challenging thing to do. After all, this is not like the later generations, as long as you have oyster sauce, extremely fresh, sweet noodle sauce, bean paste and chili sauce at hand, you can easily stir-fry a delicious sauce - the meat sauce at this time is still artificially seasoned, and each sauce has its own flavor.

For example, at this time, the horse widow had seven or eight kinds of seasonings such as star anise, grass fruit, cinnamon, and peppercorns, and three women next to her were chopping meat on the board, and two were cutting ginger and garlic to prepare for the pot.

"Oh, you're just in time," Widow Ma said happily when she saw Wang's family: "I am short of your family's new vinegar here, and I just chattered, and sure enough, it was about Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrived and told you to come." ”

"I heard that there are a lot of people today, and I'm still wondering if these two jars are enough," Wang put the vinegar jar on the board and said, "His aunt, how much do you put in each pot?"

"No more, no less, just to adjust the taste. The horse widow scooped a small half spoonful of vinegar into the pot, only to hear the sound of "stinging", the smell of the sauce can be said to be soaring to the sky, and it is almost time to get out of the pot, the horse widow ordered to smoke firewood to reduce the fire, a pot is about two-thirds of the basin the size of the basin, and listen to the horse widow also said: "Hurry up, but also fry so five pots is enough." ”

Seeing Zhang Zhaohua scurrying around the basin with his nose moving, the horse widow took out another bowl, scooped a big spoonful from the bottom of the pot and stuffed it into Zhang Zhaohua's arms: "Eat, don't get in the way here." ”

Zhang Zhaohua was so happy that she danced on the ground, and ran outside with a smoke, but she vaguely heard someone trying to stop her, but the horse widow said: "This is the grain chief's own child......"

She ran outside only to find that she didn't have a spoon in her hand, and wanted to go back to get another spoon, but saw Duan Ge'er walking out of the opposite room.

"Brother Duan," Zhang Zhaohua hurriedly beckoned, "Here and here." ”

Brother Duan'er walked crookedly, as if he was enduring pain, Zhang Zhaohua couldn't help but smile when he saw him like this: "I've been beaten, it doesn't taste good-"

"I did what you said, and I still haven't escaped a beating," Brother Duan'er's little face twitched, and said, "It hurts so much that I haven't slept well for several nights, and it's been four or five days now, and it's not comfortable to walk." ”

"That's because you're too thin and tender, and you haven't been beaten much," Zhang Zhaohua joked: "The children in our village, which one is not a veteran of a hundred battles and has been trained in a body of steel and iron." ”

Brother Duan was stunned, his cheeks trembled again, and he said, "Steel bar...... Iron bones?"

"That's what I said," Zhang Zhaohua looked at him: "Your mother beat you, won't you run, don't you know the truth that the small cane is subject to the big cane, you run outside even if it is all over the house, as long as you don't get caught - that is, you are caught, you are holding your mother's legs, and you just scream for your life, saying that it doesn't matter if you kill yourself, you are only distressed and angry with your mother's body, your mother listens to your words, even if you stab the sky, she is naturally reluctant to beat you." ”

Duan Ge'er stood there, with a feeling that the Heavenly Spirit Cover was about to be opened.

"Let's just say that you children in the city are stupid, and you boast that you have seen the world," Zhang Zhaohua said disdainfully: "What kind of world have you seen? There is no way to save money when you encounter problems, let me tell you, you were beaten because you ran away secretly, it must be because you lied and your mother found out, and you were angry that you didn't tell the truth before beating you." ”

"Ahh ”

Zhang Zhaohua naturally couldn't say that she deliberately let Yue's see it, at that time, she thought of such an angry trick in her mind - because she knew Yue's thoughts, she deliberately taught Duange'er to hide and lie, Yue's had already seen her figure, and naturally knew that Duange'er was going to her house, but she heard the opposite answer from Duange'er's mouth, saying that she went to play with the boy in the village in the ditch, and Yue's was naturally angry.

If Brother Duan told the truth and said that he went to Zhang Zhaohua's house to play, maybe the Yue family would not have been so angry. However, Brother Duan'er lied for Zhang Zhaohua, and the Yue family was naturally angry, feeling that the child he raised had actually learned to deceive for outsiders, and it was his wife who was deceived, and a beating was inevitable.

Zhang Zhaohua just wanted to block the Yue family, and she also expected the fate of Brother Duan'er, but she didn't expect that the Yue family would beat Brother Duan'er so hard that his skin hurt for three or five days.

Zhang Zhaohua felt a little guilty in his heart, but it quickly disappeared.

"Now my mother won't let me go out," Duan Ge'er said in a low tone, "After the wine ceremony, I will go back to the city immediately." ”

As he was talking, Zhang Zhaohua saw that the curtain on the opposite side moved, as if it was about to be lifted, and hurriedly said, "Let's not stand here, let's go to the backyard and talk." ”

Duan Ge'er was dragged to the backyard by Zhang Zhaohua, but he didn't expect that the backyard was also full of people, and there were many people wearing colorful costumes.

Zhang Zhaohua didn't care about the musicians, her eyes only saw the cold dishes on the table.

It should be made under the stove, the kitchen of the grain chief's house is not very large, it is already full of people, and the dishes can only be put outside, and there are two servants on the side to check the order of serving.

Duan Ge'er was poked by Zhang Zhaohua in the waist, and his face turned red and twisted for a long time before he spit out a few words, but before he could explain the meaning, one of the servants had eyes, picked up a plate of vegetables and put it in the bowl, and intimately added two pairs of chopsticks and stuffed them into Duan Ge'er's hands.

Zhang Zhaohua looked down and saw that it was jellyfish skin mixed with belly shreds, and he was immediately very happy.

The two of them hid in the corner of the wing room, secretly sharing the two dishes they had eaten, and Duange'er didn't eat in the morning, but he didn't eat jellyfish skin, and only ate a few bites of meat sauce.

"Why don't you eat it?" Zhang Zhaohua asked: "Didn't you say that jellyfish skin is a specialty of Wusong's side, how can you eat it usually?" ”

"There's coriander there," Duan Ge'er said, "I can't smell it." ”

It turned out that he didn't eat coriander.

Zhang Zhaohua said: "This coriander also has a legend, it is said to be the wool of the roaring dog, it is said to be able to drive away evil spirits and suppress ghosts, if the child is frightened, boil this thing and wine, and sprinkle it on the body, it will be no big problem." ”

"Howling Dog," Duan Ge'er said, "What is it?"

"No," Zhang Zhaohua said, "Erlang God, Roaring Sky Dog, haven't you heard of it?"

Seeing that Brother Duan shook his head, Zhang Zhaohua became interested, and simply told him about the image of Erlang God in the TV series and books in his previous life, and said: "One hand is a mountain axe, the other hand is a two-edged knife, wearing a heavenly hat, stepping on the clouds, there are demon mirrors, demon locks and demon slaying swords, and there are eight treasures." There is also a majestic divine dog beside him, called the Roaring Sky Dog. ”
