Chapter 161: Pork tailbone in a pot with mushrooms and lotus flowers
"You kid, what a vision, this is for worship. Now some people's homes are enshrined in Guan Gong, who is more than one person tall, and this weapon is matched with the statue of Guan Gong. Mu Tu explained to Le Lang with a smile.
Le Lang also heard about this, saying that some wealthy families set up a quiet room at home to worship some gods. However, there are not many people who believe in Guan Gong in southern Fujian, but there are more people in Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao and overseas.
Le Lang couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "There are many rich people now!" β
"This is the way this world is, there are many poor people and many rich people. But in general, this is much better than before, you see that there used to be a lot of families in the village, a lot of poor jingle bells, now everyone has money, and they have built houses. Mu Tu couldn't help but say when he heard it.
"Dad, you mean our family." The narrator on the side listened and said to him.
"Our family is quite good, we still have sweet potatoes to eat when we are hungry, and in the past, some poor people didn't even have to eat sweet potatoes, and those who starved to death ate leaves and leaves."
"Dad, that was five or eight years ago, and now as long as people are willing to do it, they are not afraid of not having to eat, and they have a lot of money to spend." Shu Bing was very uninterested in his own Lao Tzu always talking about those things in the early days.
"What do you kid know, now there are high-rise buildings everywhere, and the land is either being developed for real estate or building development zones and roads, if there is a famine one day, it is estimated that there will be no tree bark to eat, and a lot of them will die." Mu Tu glared at his son and said angrily.
Shu Bing was choked by his Lao Tzu and couldn't say anything, he got up and walked inside, in the end, Jiang is still old and spicy, and he sees things to the point, but these things are none of his business, anyway, no matter how much famine is made, he can't make trouble on himself.
"By the way, when will I get that disc ready?" Seeing that it was a little cold, Le Lang hurriedly asked Mu Tu.
Mu Tu listened, "You wait a minute", and then turned and walked inside. Shu Bing walked back again, holding a bowl in his hand and a bag of roasted peanuts, he grabbed a handful and stuffed it into the hand of San Lang next to him, and said to Le Lang, "Take it yourself." After speaking, he lifted the lid of the wine jar brought by Le Lang, poured the wine, and suddenly the clear yellow wine fell straight into the bowl, and the aroma of the wine overflowed.
Smelling the aroma of wine, Shu Bing couldn't help swallowing saliva, poured the wine, covered the mouth of the altar, and couldn't wait to take a sip, the wine entered his abdomen, turned into a warm current, flowing all over the body, and he couldn't help but drink: "Good wine." Just as he was about to say something to Le Lang, he Lao Tzu came out, he hurriedly put the wine under the tea table, and pretended to eat peanuts. Saburo looked at him curiously while eating peanuts, he felt that this person was sneaky, not like a good person.
Mu Tu came out of it, holding two discs in his hand and a bowl. He walked to the tea table, put the things in front of Le Lang, and said, "Look at it, this is custom-made by the hotel, make a few more, it's useless to keep it, you take a look, if you can, take it, save it and make it again." β
Listening to his words, Le Langna picked up a disc from the table, and started quite heavy, the back of the disc was convex with star patterns, and the plate was inlaid with brass with a dragon and a phoenix, which looked like a dragon and phoenix flying around a full moon, not only did it not affect the plate, but it was also very beautiful. The edge of the plate was carved with a cloud pattern, and there were two beast heads on the side that could be picked up, many times more beautiful than the one he had drawn himself.
"Well, it's much more beautiful than what I painted." Le Lang looked straight and nodded.
"Of course, people made it for five-star hotels, and they specially invited designers to design it."
"Then what's the use of you with this bowl?" Le Lang said, pointing to the bowl placed on the disc.
"This bowl was ordered by a monk, and the monk didn't make it clear at the time, and when it was done, he said that it would have a purple gold luster, so it would be melted with gold and red copper, and I didn't have gold, so I had to wait for him to buy it and make it. This bowl is useless, it's a pity to melt the words, after all, it took a lot of effort to make it, I see that you young people like these strange things, take them out and see if you want them, you can take this thing back and stew meat or something, it should feel good. Mu Tu said to Le Lang.
Le Lang couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard it, and the bowl stew of the monk was really new. Pick it up and take a look, the dark bowl body gives people a heavy feeling, the bowl body is full of forging marks, it is very comfortable to touch, and when you knock lightly, there is a "buzzing" sound from the bowl, and the sound echoes in the bowl for a long time.
After looking at it, Le Lang felt very satisfied, and said: "Okay, that's it, how much." β
"These things aren't worth a lot of money, you can just bring me some wine, well, that's it, phew, you kid, you haven't eaten or drunk anything." Mu Tu pointed to the banana wine placed on the tea table and said, Shu Bing lowered his head and secretly drank the banana wine poured from the altar, and was accidentally seen by Mu Tu.
Seeing his son like this, Mu Tu scolded angrily. I picked up the wine jar and walked inside, probably looking for a place to put the wine.
When Shu Bing heard this, he muttered dissatisfiedly, and he didn't know what to say, but lowered his head and drank his wine and ate peanuts. These two fathers and sons are alcoholics, usually have no hobbies, just like to drink two sips, the last time in Shen Min's house after drinking the banana wine brewed by Lelang, suddenly had a bright feeling, I thought about going to his house to dig a few jars, but then I was busy and forgot, just today he came.
Seeing Lao Tzu take the wine out, Shu Bing was very dissatisfied, but then turned around and said to Le Lang: "Ah Lang, if you want to bring the wine, just take the one with a higher degree, which is a little lower, and it doesn't taste pleasant." β
Le Lang looked at him and said funny: "Okay, I'm still in my fifties, I'll send you a few altars tomorrow." β
As he was talking, a loud shout came from the door: "Mutu, Mutu." Then, within a few seconds, an old man walked in, it was Jing Chuan, a carpenter from the village. Jing Chuan's carpenter work is inseparable from some iron tools, so every time it breaks, he comes to Mu Tu to help build it.
"It's you who came first before the person arrived, and what do you want to fight this time?" Mu Tu heard a voice and came out of it and spoke.
"Hit some chisels, you have to do a good job, don't break it in a few days, I'll have to come over once in a few days."
"You have to bang and beat every day, no matter how good things are, it's useless. After sitting down, Ah Lang brought some fruit over and ate one. As he spoke, he beckoned Jing Chuan to sit down at the tea table, took a black plum and handed it over.
At this time, he saw Le Lang and San Lang, Ah Lang said hello to Jing Chuan, and San Lang next to him still remembered him and called Grandpa sweetly. "Hehe, San Lang is so good," Jing Chuanle touched the naΓ―ve San Lang, turned to Le Lang and asked, "What are you doing here." β
"I was going to make some discs to go back to barbecue, but I didn't expect him to have them here, so I had to do them again."
Listening to Le Lang's words, he picked up a disc and looked at it, "Well, yes, it's very good-looking, uh, what are you doing with this bowl." Jing Chuan saw that there was a monk begging for food, and asked strangely.
"This can be used to stew a soup or something, anyway, it's useless to put him here, so I'll just take it back."
Le Lang followed them for a while to drink tea, chatted a few more words, and then went back with the disc that Mutu had packed in a box.
When I returned home, it was almost noon, and Lelang didn't go up the mountain, so he was busy in the backyard. Although he didn't go to the mountains when he was filming the movie, he still came in the backyard from time to time to pull grass or something.
In the backyard, as usual, the sky is still so blue, and it is still so pleasing to the eye.
The fields were full of vegetables, sweet potato vines were crawling all over the ground, and there were a few huge pumpkins hanging high on the shelf over there, and now he really couldn't eat all of them, most of them were used to feed the chickens and ducks.
Next to the pavilion, the shadow of the banana is faintly printed, the pond is clear and the water is beautiful, the swimming fish move around, the lotus leaves on the water surface are thick, and the lotus flowers are fragrant.
Le Lang plucked the grass and turned over the sweet potato vine, this sweet potato vine should be turned regularly, otherwise these sweet potato vines will take root in the ground, and the nutrients of the roots will be divided, and these sweet potatoes will not grow big. After making it, he picked a few lotus pods in the pond and fished out two fish, a crucian carp and a soil lice. It's also strange, Le Lang remembers that he doesn't seem to have put lice fry in the pond, how can there be? Could it be the seed of the louse that was fished out of the reservoir?
Last year, he didn't eat the lice caught in the reservoir contracted by Lao Qi, but he didn't expect to fish out an accident today, see that this lice are at least about two catties, and I don't know how long, it is estimated that the fish in this pond are all plagued by these things, it seems that I have to find a time to clean up these lice, and only a few can be left.
After catching the fish, Le Lang also picked a papaya, picked some eggplants in the field, and was busy in the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Le Lang washed the lotus pod, and did not take out the lotus seeds, so he cut the lotus pod into four petals and put it in the soup pot, and took the wild shiitake mushrooms picked from the mountain to wash them, cut off the stems and put them in, and then washed the purchased pigtail bones and put them into the soup pot, put the winter melon into square pieces with the skin, and then put in some shrimp and ginger slices, filled the soup pot with water, and put it on the biogas stove to boil.
After making the soup, Le Lang peeled and cut the papaya placed next to him into thin slices, then scalded it with hot water for a while, and then immediately took it out and rinsed it with cold water. Cut the pork meat into thin slices, marinate it with salt, chicken essence, black vinegar and minced garlic, then put oil in the pot, wait for the oil to be hot, grab the marinated pork with sweet potato powder and fry it in the pot, and then put the papaya slices in it and fry well, seasoning, a different kind of delicious vinegared meat papaya is done. Papaya tastes crunchy and tender, and it tastes very delicious with vinegared meat.
