Chapter 6 Return to the Village
Luckily, they didn't meet the middle-aged man.
On the way back, I don't know if it was because of something like this, everyone's steps were faster, but in an hour, the three of them and the little boy had already returned to their home in Zhoujia Village.
"Magnolia, Magnolia!" As soon as Zhou Chungui arrived home, he didn't see Zhou Zhao, and immediately shouted loudly.
Zhou Zhao came out of the stove house. "What's wrong, what's wrong, didn't you sell for much money?" Zhou Zhao looked a little disappointed.
"No, no, no. Sold quite a lot. But we saved a kid and came back. Zhou Chungui saw that Zhou Zhao had misunderstood, and immediately explained.
"Child?" Zhou Zhao had already seen the boy standing beside Fu Yi.
Zhou Chungui immediately explained it to her.
"It's okay, let's stay at my house first. Just take your time to find things at home. What's more, I don't know who did the poison, so even if you find your family, you have to be more careful. It's scary, the child is still so young, it might as well stay in our house now. You're really, scared me, I thought it was a big deal. Zhou Zhao thought very openly.
"Let's make him some ginger soup first. We went and changed our clothes. Fu Yi and Ying Qi wash their hands and eat first. "The whole family is now affected by Yingqi. Wash your hands before doing anything.
"By the way, what's the child's name?" Zhou Zhao asked.
"He can't speak, how do we know? Zhou Chungui replied.
"Then there has to be a name. Zhou Zhao said.
"Call baby. Ying Qi spoke directly.
"Baby?" everyone had a feeling of falling, looking at Ying Qi.
This kid is so old.
"Sister, he's older than you, how can he call him a baby. That's what a child called. The little boy gestured excitedly, apparently strongly against the suggestion. Fu Yi also hurriedly objected, after all, he was the same boy as himself.
"That's called Xiaobao. Ying Qi thought about it, but she didn't think about it well.
"Okay. It was Qi Meier who saved him, so Qi Meier would give him a name. Zhou Chungui saw that no one objected, so he nodded.
Then he turned to the little boy and said, "Do you call you Xiaobaoxing?" The little boy glanced at him, then at Yingqi, and nodded.
"Okay, let's change our clothes first, and then eat. Xiaobao will be in the same room with Fu Yi. Zhou Chungui said.
The four of them went back to the house to wash their hands. And Zhou Zhao went to boil ginger soup, and then packed up all the things he bought.
When they all sat down at the dinner table, they were a little surprised. It is estimated that because it can be sold better today, Zhou Zhao's boiled a thick rice porridge, and her mother also boiled a small plate of meat that Ying Qi especially wanted.
Ying Qi was really speechless when she saw the boiled meat, couldn't she make a braised pork or something, her own mother, she was extremely lacking in chef cells.
"Let's drink ginger soup first. Everyone drinks some. ”
"Hmm. "One bowl per person, everyone didn't refuse, after all, they have been tossing by the waterhole for so long, and it's good to go to the cold.
And if he is really sick, it is also a big problem for his family.
Xiaobao took a sip first, as if trying the taste, frowning, and didn't feel good. However, after looking at the three fathers and sons who were immersed in drinking ginger soup, they still drank it in one gulp.
"Mother, have we packed all the things we bought?"
"Hmm. But what are you doing with those waters? We don't have any dogs. Sure enough, in the consciousness of the ancients, many things were not eaten.
"You'll know tomorrow. Now be a secret. Ying Qi smiled.
"You don't know how you're so weird. Like you......" Suddenly, Zhou Zhao found that he had missed his words, and quickly changed the topic. "By the way, what should Xiaobao do here?"
Everyone didn't pay attention, only Ying Qi glanced at her mother thoughtfully. Thinking of her father's knowledge on the road, it seems that this family still has some little secrets.
"Xiaobao, do you want to go home?" Zhou Chungui heard Zhou Zhao say this, and hurriedly asked Xiaobao. The little boy, who will be called Xiaobao in the future, thought about it and shook his head.
"Did someone in the family hurt you, or did someone outside abduct you?" asked Zhou Chungui.
"Dad, if you ask Xiaobao how to answer, he can't speak. It can only be asked one question at a time. Ying Qi glared at her father.
"Oh, is someone in the family harming you?" Xiaobao nodded.
"So you don't want to go back?" Xiaobao continued to nod.
"It's okay, just stay in our house. When you're older, you'll be able to be independent, and then you'll want to go back and go back. Zhou Zhao said. I guess it's a matter of internal strife in a big family.
After eating, the family was tired all day. So he hurried to rest.
On the second day, at three o'clock in the sun, Ying Qi got up.
When I went out, my father and mother had already done farm work.
As for the elder brother Fu Yi and Xiaobao, they had already gotten up. Fu Yi was explaining to Xiaobao about Zhoujia Village.
The plasticity of the child is very great, and Xiaobao can't speak, and the two of them can basically understand what each other wants to express.
Of course, Xiaobao rarely compares, and seems to be a very silent child.
"Brother, Xiaobao, early. "My sister is early. Ying Qi walked into the hall. One of the two boys replied to her, and the other gestured to him.
"Brother, Xiaobao, let's not dig wild vegetables today, let's get into the water. Ying Qi was in high spirits.
"Sister, what are they used for?" Fu Yi was very inquisitive.
"Eat. Stupid brother. Ying Qi commanded Fu Yi and Xiaobao to carry the few catties of pigs sent yesterday into the water, and she took a vegetable pot alone, and the three of them came to the stream.
After all, the creek was close to her home.
"Where can I eat this. Fu Yi was very surprised. But Xiaobao didn't seem to be surprised. It seems that after all, he is a child from a large family, and he should have eaten a lot of food, so he is naturally not so shallow.
Ying Qi smiled, "Brother, look at me." "Although the pig looks dirty in the water, this is meat.
For Ying Qi, who only learned about the taste of meat once in March, I was very excited to think about the dishes I would make later, and finally had meat to eat.
"Brother, Xiaobao, you have to wash it carefully, you have to wash it many times before you can wash it. ”
After all, the current home is reluctant to use salt, flour, wine or anything to clean, that is too expensive for their own home, but water can still be cleaned.
Under the command of Ying Qi, the three of them first rinsed the water for the first time.
Then, under the guidance of Ying Qi, Fu Yi went to find a piece of bamboo, scraped the mucus in the intestines, and then threw it into the stream water to rinse it repeatedly.
After doing this for more than an hour, it was past noon, and the three of them were so tired that their backs hurt, so they finally washed all the water.
Although Xiaobao doesn't look like a rough worker, his body still seems to be very strong, so he is not very bad at doing things.
Back at home, Ying Qi asked Fu Yi to help her light the fire, she has always been very fond of burning fire, it is too choking, so Fu Yi has always done it.
Xiaobao brought a basin of cold water and poured it into the pot, and Ying Qi threw all the water into the pot.
After the water has boiled for a quarter of an hour, remove the water from the bottom water, wash it again, and change the water in the pot to a clean one.
Ying Qi first changed the washed water into a knife, cut the intestines into palm-length sections, and then threw them into the pot and boiled them again. After the water boiled for the second time, he asked Fu Yi to pull out a few pieces of wood, slowly reduce the heat, and boil it over a slight fire.
Ying Qi kept guarding, and when she saw that her intestines were bulging, she pricked her eyes with chopsticks and let go of her anger.
The other two were also on the sidelines, Fu Yi was going to light the fire, while Xiaobao felt that Ying Qi was so small that she would cook this kind of dish, which felt very strange.
After boiling like this for an hour, it is basically cooked thoroughly.
Ying Qi scooped up all the water and threw it into a sieve to drain it.
Then put half of the water in a basin. The rest of the water is ready to be cooked.
A small amount of oil was poured into the pot, in fact, a large amount of oil should have been used to fry, but her family did not have this condition, so she had to settle for it.
Omit this step, there is no way, and you will have the opportunity to do it yourself when you have the opportunity at home. When the oil is hot, add a little sugar and stir-fry repeatedly until dark red, then pour the water into the pot and turn it repeatedly with a spatula.
After all the water was basically colored, she put in the wine that her father had stolen, only a small bottle, and Ying Qi dropped a few drops, and quickly asked Fu Yi to secretly put it back under her father's bed.
Then pour in green onions, ginger, and garlic, these seasonings are not expensive, and you can buy a lot of them for a few pennies.
Then add water, which should have been used with dashi, then add vinegar, salt, soy sauce, sugar, and monosodium glutamate.
When the soup is boiling, simmer again over low heat.
By the time the soup was only a quarter of the way through, the aroma was already all over the room.
Both babies felt like they were starting to drool, and even Xiaobao never seemed to smell such a fragrance.
"Yi Wazi, what are you doing?" it was Zhou Zhao who came back. At this time, it is time to get ready to cook when you return from the farm.
As soon as I returned to the house, I smelled the aroma. When I came to the stove, I saw three children by the stove.
"Mother, my sister's water is really fragrant!" Fu Yi said.
"It's really made in the water, it's really delicious, it's really delicious. Zhou Zhao also said in surprise.
"Mother, it's almost ready. We've been doing it all day. Ying Qi smiled, just to surprise them.
"Then I'll wait and see, Qi Mei'er's self-created water dish. Zhou Zhao replied with a smile.
"Hmm. "Ying Qi put pepper in it, and as for Chinese medicine such as cinnamon and sand kernels, there is no way to find it, and if you find it, you can't afford it.
Shovel the water repeatedly until all the juices are evenly mixed with the water.
Then the pot was raised, Ying Qi thought about it, and then arranged the intestines one by one, and sprinkled coriander on them. If you don't have chicken fat, forget it.
"That's it!" Ying Qi said in a modern word. stuck out their tongues, but fortunately the three of them didn't pay attention, and they all went into the water around the plate.
"It's amazing! It's so beautiful!" Fu Yi couldn't imagine it, and felt so surprised.
"Sister Qi, you are comparable to the chef of the restaurant. Is this also a launch?" Zhou Zhao was so surprised.
As for Xiaobao, her eyes darkened, is this really a little girl from a farmer's family!
"Mother, I'm smart. I knew I could eat it when I was ready. Ying Qi was happy, and her innocent childlike eyes made it impossible to suspect anything.
After all, children in this era are very precocious. Xiaobao himself is also very mature, but he doesn't doubt anything.
"My sister Qi is really a naturally smart child. Zhou Zhao couldn't help but hug Ying Qi, some tears were shining, and he probably remembered something.
Not long after, Zhou Chungui also returned. Naturally, he was also surprised.
Waiting for the four of them to really taste this water dish, the taste, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, salty, fragrant, ruddy and translucent large intestine, fat but not greasy. It's so much that I want to swallow my tongue.
As for Ying Qi, I actually know that the practice of nine turns of the large intestine that I saw on Baidu is because I don't often make it at the beginning, and second, the seasoning is very lacking, but the taste is actually very ordinary. But for ancient people, one is innovation, and the other is that they don't know the taste of meat in March. As a result, it has been highly praised by the whole family. Naturally more than last night's boiled white meat.
