Chapter Twenty-Six: The Meat Eater's Fragrance
Thirty wen is a very helpless price.
Gu Qing's price is very high, but Shi Daxing disagrees, Qingcheng County has a tooth shop, which not only sells well-behaved little girls, but also sells tall and powerful Kunlun slaves, although Kunlun slaves are a little more expensive, but cost-effective, the Ding brothers are not only lame, but also a pair of bad blanks, they don't want to give it away for nothing, not to mention giving money.
Gu Qing persuaded her bitterly, and the price was pressed again and again, if it weren't for the fact that it was too wasteful to raise the Ding family brothers, this deal would have collapsed long ago, no matter in the past or present life, Gu Qing had never been so humble in talking about business.
But think about it anyway, it's waste utilization, and it's not bad to be able to sell it for thirty wen.
Gu Qing, who got the money, went to the villagers' houses to buy meat as soon as possible. No one in the mountain village opened a butcher shop, some villagers who are good at hunting have stocks, all of which are game caught in the mountains, which are very precious to the villagers, and most of them are reluctant to eat, hang them under the beams of the houses to dry, and occasionally eat a little, while the fur of the prey is peeled off and sold to the merchant in exchange for some food or daily necessities.
Such precious meat, Gu Qing was naturally embarrassed to borrow it from the villagers when he had no money, but now that he has money, he has confidence, and after visiting several villagers, Gu Qing spent twenty yuan and went home full of harvest.
Two hares, four pheasants, and a few pounds of wild boar, these were enough to eat for a while.
Gu Qing decided to save some food, after all, this was the Ding family brothers' selling money, and every bite he ate felt full of the blood and tears of the Ding family brothers. But one thing to say, it tastes so good.
The Ding brothers were sold, and many villagers saw it, and everyone's feelings were very complicated.
Shiqiao Village is missing a pair of village tyrants who are evildoers, and the haze that has shrouded them for many years is once gone, and the sky is clear and the sun is full of sunshine. However, the fierce brothers of the Ding family ended up being sold alive, which was really unacceptable, and the villagers were more in awe of Gu Qing.
Even the village tyrant dares to sell it, so I ask you if you are afraid.
…………
Meat has to be delicious to have an appetite and eat more. Gu Qing's way of cooking meat now is much more high-end than before.
There is no iron pot at home, so it is difficult to fry and fry, so you can only work steaming and boiling. The meat should be moderately fat and thin, cut into thin slices, sprinkle with a little salt and sauce, seal and marinate for half an hour, and then put it into a small bowl in a clay pot to separate the water, steam slowly over a warm fire, after an hour, the meat is steamed to be cooked thoroughly, and the room is full of fragrance after the jar is opened.
The steamed meat is sprinkled with a few chopped wild vegetables, and the bamboo chopsticks are gently pinched, and the meat slices are crystal clear and flowing with thick soup, and it is not a problem to eat five bowls of rice, and it would be more perfect if there was a small jar of rice wine.
Song Gensheng's eating appearance is not very good-looking, he is obviously a scholar, and he can eat meat with the posture of a hungry dog grabbing, and I don't know why his father starved him when he was at home.
Gu Qing put down the bamboo chopstick, and suddenly he was not in the mood to eat meat. Eating with people who eat like this will always give you the illusion of grabbing food in the same groove as a pig, the pig can eat very happily, and he doesn't mind other pigs grabbing it from him, but Gu Qing can't bear it.
Eating meat requires a pleasant mood and a good eating environment, both of which are essential, otherwise the meat will lack the soul when eaten, and the meat without the soul can be eaten, but the taste is the same as chewing wax.
No matter how poor life is, after all, you still need some sense of ritual to prove that you are alive.
"I've steamed the meat very sneakily, I can't figure out how you happened to appear at my house......" Gu Qing sighed gloomily.
Song Gensheng didn't raise his head, a piece of meat slipped into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Smell the smell, the meat you make is very fragrant, half the village can smell it, is there a secret recipe for making meat?" ”
"Yes, want to know?"
"Yes."
"The steaming process is the same, mainly the process of marinating the meat is very important, when marinating, the meat should be sprinkled with salt and sauce, and the most important thing is that a little pork urine is smeared to help the salt and sauce taste ......"
"Poof-" Song Gensheng squirted to the ground, and stared at him in astonishment: "Don't make trouble!" ”
Gu Qing took the meat into his mouth expressionlessly, and his movements were much faster. It's amazing, after disgusting others, my appetite suddenly becomes very good.
"Really...... Put pig urine? ”
"Well, meat, especially game, is born with a bad smell, and pig urine can alleviate this smell, and it can make the meat more tender and refreshing." Gu Qing said calmly.
Song Gensheng's face turned blue, and his mouth opened wide as if he wanted to vomit.
"Go out and vomit, or you'll get beaten." Gu Qing didn't raise his head.
Song Gensheng held back, not knowing whether he was afraid of being beaten or reluctant to eat the meat he had just eaten in his stomach.
"Keep eating, you're welcome." Gu Qing warmly invited.
Song Gensheng looked at the meat suspiciously, and then looked at Gu Qing's expression, he always felt that he had been fooled, hesitated for a while, and didn't have the courage to continue eating after all.
Suddenly remembering something, Song Gensheng asked, "You really sold the Ding family brothers?" ”
"It's sold, but it's a pity that it's cheaper, it's only thirty yuan." Gu Qing's hands fell, but his tone was very regretful.
"After knowing this news, the whole village seems to talk more about you, some people applaud, saying that you are a good person for the people, and some people say that you are a bad person who is more evil than the Ding brothers, and everyone may be bullied more in the future."
Gu Qing ate the meat and snorted twice in his nostrils.
A small mountain village can generate polarized public opinion, it seems that what he has done recently has had influence in the village, if Gu Qing is willing, as long as he gathers the villagers and shouts "I, the village tyrant of Shiqiao Village, fight for money", there should be very few people who dare not pay money.
"So, do people who offend you usually be sold by you?" Song Gensheng said cautiously.
"Not necessarily, it depends on the price...... Gu Qing casually picked up the meat in the bowl, thinking that the Ding family brothers only sold for thirty wen, he felt a little embarrassed, now recall, when negotiating with Shi Daxing, he actually didn't play well, if he can boast about the Ding family's brother's cost performance a little more exaggerated, at least ten more wen.
Song Gensheng secretly strengthened his determination not to offend Gu Qing, but now Gu Qing's temperament has changed greatly, and he is really a little uneasy when he is so close to him.
"You...... You're not going to sell me someday, are you? Song Gensheng asked worriedly.
The meat in the bowl had already been eaten, Gu Qing smacked his lips unsatisfactorily, and glared at Song Gensheng resentfully.
"Uncle Song, that is, your father, has he ever thought about selling you?"
Song Gensheng shook his head resolutely.
"Then I won't sell you either, don't worry." Gu Qing smiled maliciously.
Song Gensheng frowned, always feeling that this sentence was full of malice, and he didn't know where the evil was......
"Gensheng, you want to make money with me, you want to live a good life, you want to marry Xiu'er in a beautiful way, from tomorrow, you have to help me." Gu Qing said while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks.
"You say, I'll help."
"Tomorrow, pick some honest folks, let Uncle Han teach them the craft of pinching pottery, you know, we have negotiated the deal with the shopkeeper Hao, and we will officially cooperate soon, and the output of pottery must keep up."
