Chapter 57 Eight taels of braised pork

The New Year continued, and no one knew that most of the garrison of the Hexian General Battalion had been pulled away overnight, and the Hexian County Commander still had a brand-new conscription order in his hand.

Puyang Town has no way of knowing because it is far away from the official road, so the atmosphere of the New Year has not been affected in the slightest.

The third day of the first lunar month is the day when the daughter returns to her parents' home, and it is also the day when the prospective son-in-law visits the Yue's house.

Early in the morning, Sun opened the door and waited for his son-in-law to come to the door, there were many people on the street who set off to go to their mother's house, all the people who went out this year relied on walking, and they couldn't start early if they didn't set off early. ”

It's not a family, what red envelopes, melon seeds, and peanuts are saved, just ask for a verbal auspiciousness, especially this year's New Year's Pass, that is, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, a family of clansmen did not see a few families take out these when they greeted each other, and they were all a bowl of white water that was decent.

"Sister Lin, take out the paste for your mother" Sun looked at the brand-new red pair that had been pasted for a few days, and felt a sigh in his heart, afraid that the wind was too strong last night, and the red pair was blown out of the old man's mouth.

This red pair was written by Gu Xiaomin himself, there are few pairs in the entire Puyang Town, and Sun feels that sticking to his own door is more face-saving than anything, but it has just been cracked after the New Year, which is too unlucky.

Dai Shuanglin walked out with a small bowl of paste, walked out of the warm room, and was blown by the cold wind in her face, and couldn't help but stomp her feet and said, "What do you want to do?" ”

"It's not that Brother Xian didn't stick the pair on porcelain, look at it, it's blown out of the wind." Sun's heart is upset, since she saw this split pair, she has been unsteady in her heart, and she always feels that something is going to happen.

"......" Dai Shuanglin was speechless, this pair is paper and not iron, and the wind in the northern winter is so strong that it is scary, what is there to worry about blowing a strip? But in the end, it was the New Year, Dai Shuanglin didn't want to be scolded, so she could only use her fingers to pull out a touch of paste and wipe it on the back of the pair.

In the house, Dai Shuanghong was washing vegetables and kimchi, in winter, that is, white sham, radish and those wild vegetables that Dai Shuanglin dried in autumn and summer, and there was also a piece of meat weighing two catties, Dai Shuanglin was speechless, and snickered with her sister: "Our mother is really willing, my cousin was not willing to take out so much meat when they came yesterday." ”

"It's quite ......" willing.

Dai Shuanghong, who was immersed in cutting meat, smiled gently, she knew that the Sun family deliberately took out so much meat for Ge Dongyong, after all, the Gu family would still open meat every once in a while, unlike the Ge family, who were reluctant to eat meat all year round.

"Sister, have you ever heard of braised pork?" Dai Shuanglin saw that her sister was about to cut such a large piece of meat into slices, and she couldn't help but think of the mouth-watering braised pork again.

Dai Shuanghong said inexplicably: "I heard it on the side when you told our mother before, what's wrong?" ”

"Forget it" Thinking of the scene when she asked to make braised pork for everyone to try, and was sent away by Sun's three or two clicks, she couldn't help but be discouraged, and ruthlessly took her eyes off the two catties of meat, and began to take out the soaked dried wild vegetables and water them.

This time when the guests came to the house during the Chinese New Year, the Sun family asked the two sisters to prepare meals, but in fact, it was mainly the chef Dai Shuanghong, Dai Shuanglin was just a miscellaneous worker.

"How much meat does it take to make that thing?" My sister wants to eat, even though Dai Shuanghong is reluctant, she still asks lately, if she has less, she can call the shots, and if she has more, I'm afraid she will have to ask Sun.

"Huh" Dai Shuanglin's eyes lit up, seeing that Dai Shuanghong didn't look like a joke, thinking of the braised pork that hadn't been stained with teeth for more than ten years, he couldn't help but shake the water on his hand and laughed: "One pound is not good, eight taels is fine......"

"So much?" Dai Shuanghong took a knife and compared, how much is left after half of the two catties of meat are removed?

In the end, Dai Shuanghong gritted his teeth and agreed to cut out eight taels of meat for Dai Shuanglin, and it was thanks to Dai Shuanglin's dream that Dai Shuanglin shouted braised pork every day, Dai Shuanghong agreed.

Because of the close distance in the same town, Ge Dongyong and Gu Xiaomin came to Dai's house together, and when they entered the door, the two first went to the Dai family genealogy to kowtow to their ancestors, and then kowtowed to Dai Xiangen and Sun's family successively, Dai Xiangen and Sun's smiled and gave each of them a kowtow money wrapped in red paper.

When entering the east room, Gu Xiaomin secretly stuffed the red envelope to Dai Shuanglin while people were unprepared, and touched the large string of copper plates inside, Dai Shuanglin couldn't be happier in his heart, and gave Gu Xiaomin an appreciative look.

How do you know that Ge Dongyong has been secretly observing the future brother-in-law's behavior since the moment he entered the door of Dai's house, for fear that he would be disgusted by the Dai family.

Ge Dongyong, who tasted the sweetness like this, was even more concerned about Gu Xiaomin's every move, but fortunately, he actually gave the silver he had just obtained to his sister-in-law. Could it be that all these learned scholars give their money to their daughters-in-law? No, it's for the lady who hasn't passed through the door?

Ge Dongyong, who was suspicious, slowly took out the red envelope that he had just put in from his arms, glanced at Dai Shuanghong, who fell behind the big head, couldn't help but move his throat, and quietly stuffed the red envelope into Dai Shuanghong's hand, and Dai Shuanghong blushed with an "ah".

"Poof"

Gu Xiaomin and Dai Shuanglin turned around at the same time, and couldn't help laughing in unison when they saw the red envelope falling on the ground and the embarrassed expressions of the two, fortunately, Dai Xiangen and Sun had already entered the east room, and Gu Xiaomin and Dai Shuanglin were blocking the door, so that the small movements of the two were not discovered.

When the son-in-law came to the door, Dai Xiangen and Sun led Brother Xian to sit on the kang and talk to the two, peanuts, melon seeds, and tea were readily available, and the enthusiasm of the three made the two prospective sons-in-law unable to resist.

The Dai sisters were busy working in the field, all home-cooked dishes had been washed and cut early, so it didn't take long for Dai Shuanghong to fry a few dishes, turn around and mix cold dishes, and Dai Shuanglin, who had been in charge of the fire, began to deal with her eight taels of meat.

Take out the pork soaked in water, put it in the pot and pass it through the water, then the lard melts in the pot, put the meat strips in and fry for a while, put the ginger slices and garlic, and finally put some soy sauce and stir-fry a few times, heat the water and sprinkle a spoonful of sugar and start to simmer over low heat.

"It's so fragrant......" Dai Shuanghong, who was mixing cold dishes, couldn't help but sniff and sniff, pursed his lips and swallowed the overflowing saliva and praised.

At this time, the raw rice had been cooked and the prospective son-in-law was there, Dai Shuanglin didn't have to worry about Sun cleaning her up in person, so she said to her sister with her eyebrows: "It smells fragrant, and it tastes even more fragrant." ”

Brother Xian was attracted by this fragrance and ran down the kang to see her second sister make the legendary braised pork, and Sun was also hooked by the fragrance, and when he learned that Dai Shuanglin was making braised pork, he felt distressed for a while.

When the braised pork came out of the pot, Sun personally served the dishes on the plate, scraped the bottom of the pot clean, and wiped off the oil and water at the bottom of the pot with steamed bread slices for Brother Xian to eat.

Dai Shuanglin has long been surprised, their small people live like this, and they are used to wiping off the oil and water at the bottom of the pot when cooking oily vegetables, so as not to waste it.

This is not only what people will do now, it is the era of wealth and luxury in Dai Shuanglin's previous life, and there are also people in some places who take steamed bread slices to touch the bottom of the pot after making meat dumplings, well, in fact, she has eaten it once, it is indeed fragrant and spicy, but unfortunately Dai Shuanglin did not find any chili peppers here, and there are no wild ones.
