Yao Huang and Yao Qing first went to the rice shop, bought ten catties of white rice and twenty catties of brown rice, and then went to the pastry shop to buy one catty of pastries. Seeing the pastry, Yao Qing swallowed his saliva. Yao Huang touched the top of the boy's head with pity, the pastry was already wrapped, it was a little difficult to open it, Yao Huang looked at the vendor selling sugar gourds on the street, and said to Yao Qing, "Let's go, my sister will buy you sugar gourds to eat." ”

Yao Huang bought two strings of sugar gourds, one for Yao Qing, and the other wrapped in oiled paper and left for Xiao Ke. Seeing Yao Qing taking a sip of the sugar gourd, with a happy and cherished expression on his face, Yao Huang's heart was sour.

"Little brother, my sister will buy you candy every day in the future."

"Sister, don't forget Xiao Ke. He had never eaten sugar. Yao Qing fought for the welfare of the more pitiful little nephew.

"Okay, I won't forget Xiao Ke."

The two of them went to the meat stall and bought five catties of half-fat and half-lean pork belly and two catties of fatty meat. Fatty meat can be boiled in oil, which is more expensive than lean meat, and Yao Huang spent another fifteen yuan to buy all the pig bones and pig water.

"Second sister, what are you doing when you buy pig bones and pigs in the water?" Ordinary people don't buy these things, butchers usually throw them away. Only his second sister would spend money to buy it, although it was cheap.

"Big bones boil soup, pig boils vegetables."

"But the pig stinks in the water."

"Little brother, don't be deceived by the outside. After the pig is washed in water, it is very delicious and delicious. Yao Huang thought of braised fat sausages, cold pork hearts and pork belly soup, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Really?" Yao Qingyou didn't believe it.

"When I'm done, you'll know if you taste it."

When the two of them returned to the grocery store with a lot of food, Li Yunzhong, Yao Hong and others had been waiting for a while. Yao Huang handed the sugar gourd to Xiao Ke, and looked at the little bun and licked it with a sweet smile.

"Second sister, why did you buy so many things?" Yao Hong asked reproachfully, afraid that her sister would spend money indiscriminately.

Yao Huang smiled, "Sister, it's all some food." In the future, our family's life will get better and better, and we will no longer have to pick money to live. ”

"If you have money, you should save it, and keep it for you to get married in the future......" Yao Hong helped her two younger siblings plan, but unfortunately Yao Huang didn't listen to her at all, but ran to the grocery store and spent a lot of money.

"The second sister knows it." Wenren Qianye took Yao Hong's hand and said, "Let's not disturb her interest." ”

Yao Hong sighed, "All this came too suddenly, I'm worried that when the money is spent, we will go back to the old days of starvation." ”

"No, big sister. The second sister signed a contract with Baiweiju, and as long as the peanuts continue to be sold, we will have a fixed income. Yao Qing interjected.

"That's it. Although there are a lot of peanuts on the mountain, there is always a time for light, right? Yao Hong said.

"Don't be afraid, the second sister said that we can grow peanuts by ourselves." Yao Qingdao.

"Is this okay?" Yao Hong was skeptical.

"Give your sister some confidence, maybe she can change the fate of our family." Smell people Chiba Road. He looked at his virtuous wife and young son, who were getting worse and worse, and who might be gone. In the future, the second sister and the third brother will have to take care of the two of them.

"Eldest sister, don't worry, I finally found a way to get rich and make a fortune, and I will never let it break......" Yao Huang walked out of the shop with a smile, "Everything has been bought, eldest sister, brother-in-law, let's go home!" ”

After returning home, Yao Huang handed over the remaining eleven taels of silver and three hundred copper coins to Yao Hong, and Yao Qing told the process of Yao Huang's dealings with Zhang's shopkeeper with affection.

"The second girl in our family is becoming more and more capable." Yao Hong touched Yao Huang's head and said with emotion.

Yao Huang's cheeks flushed, and he said coyly, "I bought pastries, you eat some to replenish your stomach first, and I will cook at night." ”

"I'll go with you." Yao Hongdao.

"No, you take care of your brother-in-law! On today's trip, my brother-in-law should be very tired. ”

"Second sister, I'll help you." Yao Qing hurriedly stuffed a piece of pastry into his mouth and ran to Yao Huang's side.

"No, I'll have to wait a while to cook, I'll wash the pig first." Yao Huang poured water from the pig into a large wooden basin, brought it to the well, drew water from the well, and washed it carefully. The pig drain is dirty and requires patience to clean it. During this period, Yao Hong settled down and served him to drink.

"Second sister, I'll help you."

"It's been washed." Yao Huang brought a bucket of water up, and with the help of Yao Hong, the pig was cleaned again and carried back to the kitchen.

"Second sister, what should we do with these pigs going into the water?" Yao Hong asked.

"Salt the heart, liver and belly and hang them in the ventilation above the stove." Yao Huang said as he cut the pork belly into small pieces, smeared them with salt, and hung them on the top of the stove along with the pork heart. In this way, the meat is sterilized and roasted by using a little high temperature every day, and the processed meat still has a little smoky flavor, and when eating, it can be fried or boiled. The fatty meat is chilled in cold water and used to fry oil tomorrow.

Yao Huang cut the fat intestine into small pieces, put it in the pot, and after the oil is stirred, put in salt, soy sauce, sugar, fennel, cooking wine and other seasonings (these seasonings are all bought by Yao Huang in the grocery store), then put in the yam, stir-fry a few times, put in a bowl of water and boil for five minutes, and thicken the pot with water starch. An improved version of the braised fat sausage with ruddy color, rich fragrance, fat but not greasy, is out of the pot.

Yao Hong took a deep breath, it was so fragrant, I didn't expect that the pig that had always been regarded as garbage could make such a delicious taste.

"Second sister, what's the name of this dish, it's so fragrant?" Yao Hong swallowed her saliva, recalled the process of Yao Huang's cooking just now, and decided to do it herself next time.

"Braised fat sausage." Yao Huang looked at the kitchen door with a smile, and the two little heads were sticking in with drool, staring at the plate of braised fat sausages on the stove.

"Second sister, is the meal ready?" Seeing Yao Huang notice the two of them, Yao Qing scratched his head embarrassedly and asked with a blank look.

"I'm so hungry, you take Xiaoke to wash your hands, and we'll start eating right away." Yao Huang asked Yao Hong to bring the braised fat sausage and boiled radish to the dining table, and he went back to the kitchen, threw the washed bones into the crockpot, filled it with water, added ginger, Sichuan pepper and a small spoon of vinegar, and slowly stewed it over low heat, so that he could drink the delicious bone broth tomorrow.

Yao Huang walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of fat sausages specially set aside, packed it in a bamboo basket, and said to the two children who were eating well, "Little brother, I'll go to the fourth uncle's house and come back later." ”

Li Yunzhong did them a great favor and thanked them for sending bowls of food. In rural areas, it is common to send food to each other.

"Fourth uncle, fourth aunt, I cooked a new dish and sent it to you to taste."

"You kid, it's not easy for you at home, with delicious food, you should stay for Xiaoqing and Xiaoke's two children. Their skinny little pitiful looks, my aunt I feel distressed when I look at them. Aunt Li chattered, and picked five or six eggs from the chicken coop in the yard and put them in Yao Huang's basket.

"Auntie, no need." Yao Huang hurriedly excused himself, but Aunt Li was not happy, "This is not for you, it is for the two children to replenish their bodies." ”

Yao Huang didn't say much more, the Li family's living conditions were better than most people in the village, and they didn't care about a few eggs, so they generously accepted them.

"Xiao Huang (Yao Huang, this name is too unacceptable), this is the pig's large intestine, right? How do you make it so delicious? Li Si, who tasted a piece of fat sausage, asked with a light eye.

"Fourth uncle, it's a large intestine, I burned it with a large material, so it tastes good. In fact, the pig sewer is treated, and it is also delicious. ”

"Really?" Aunt Li hurriedly asked, "What should I do?" ”

"Well, it's actually not difficult, as long as you wash it and do it according to the method of making pork, you can fry it, stir-fry, stew and boil it. Well, I'll write you a few recipes based on pig water tomorrow. ”

"Huh? That's good. Aunt Li Si was very happy, the pig water is cheap, and if the taste is good, the family will definitely be able to save some money in terms of food in the future, and they will be able to save more money to say goodbye to the three boys. Last time, Zhang Fei's family said that her niece was good, and next time she went back to see the girl, if it was really good, she would book it for the boss.

After Yao Huang went home, Yao Hong had already served Wenren Qianye and eaten, and was cooking at the table, waiting for Yao Huang to come back and eat together. The two little ones had already eaten enough, but they couldn't let go of the delicious fat sausages, so they sat aside with their little stomachs and watched with their eyes open.

"Second sister, it's so delicious to burn fat intestines." Yao Hong said happily, "Your brother-in-law also said that it was delicious, and he also ate an extra bowl of rice." ”

"We can do it often after that, and it's cheap to get into the water anyway. I also know a lot of other ways to do it, and we'll do it one by one when the time comes. ”

"Okay!" It was Yao Qing who cheered, and Xiao Ke Baozi followed in the fun.

Yao Huang and Yao Hong glanced at each other, and a trace of sourness welled up in their hearts at the same time. Yao Qing is better, when Yao's father and Yao Niang were alive, they could still eat meat once a month, and after Xiao Ke was born, it was a problem for the family to even eat a full meal, let alone eat meat. Being able to eat so many delicious foods today, Xiao Ke feels happier than the New Year.

The moonlight is very good, the silver glow is everywhere, gentle and quiet, Yao Huang sits in the courtyard and looks at the high night sky, compared to the modern sky, the night sky that has not been damaged by pollution in ancient times is so clear and beautiful - although Yao Huang has not seen the night sky a few times, she usually faces the computer at night. The cool night breeze brought the cries of frogs and cicadas in the fields, while the rest was quiet, and most of the villagers fell asleep. Yao Huang couldn't help but think of the first half of Xin Qiji's poem "Xijiang Moon: Night Walking in Huangsha Road": "The bright moon is not a branch to frighten magpies, and the breeze chirps cicadas in the middle of the night." The fragrance of rice flowers says that it is a good year. Listen to the sound of frogs. Seven or eight stars outside the sky, two or three points of rain in front of the mountain. In the old days, the thatched shop was on the edge of the forest. The road turns to the creek bridge suddenly. ”
