Chapter 16: Big Fat Slices

"I can smell the smell of meat from afar, so much meat."

It was a thin old gentleman who spoke, with a pale face, sunken eyes, a lot of blood on his lips, and the corners of his mouth, and his sparse hair was more white and less black, and he was skinny and skinny, like a skeleton.

Dressed in a white-washed tunic, with a lot of patches, but clean and tidy, you can still see shallow creases, the old gentleman sits straight, his eyes are bright like light, and his whole body exudes a distinctive temperament.

"The meat sent by the Tang family is five or six catties, Mr. Qi, you can eat more."

Su Wanrou said happily, taking the chopsticks and sandwiching a big fat slice of meat for the old gentleman, people now love to eat lean meat, but at this time, the most popular is oily fatty meat.

After a few years of lack of oil and food, anyone who sees a big fat slice will have their eyes lit up, like Su Wanrou didn't like to eat fatty meat before, and she dislikes a little fatty meat.

Now—

"It's so fragrant, it's still delicious pork raised, and the wild taste is too heavy."

Su Wanrou chewed the fat with relish, the oil juice splashed in her mouth, and some splashed into her throat, the feeling was more satisfying than when she had eaten abalone before.

She hadn't eaten pork for four years, and she could still eat every once in a while her husband was there, but after her husband left, she couldn't even see a little bit of meat star, only the wild things that Huo Jinzhi brought from the mountains.

But the smell of wild things is heavy, the meat is also firewood, it is not delicious without good seasonings, Su Wanrou's cooking skills are just like that, she can only stew ginger and garlic together, and there is no cooking wine, soy sauce, vinegar and sugar, and the taste can be imagined.

But it was also thanks to these wild creatures that they were able to survive four long years without starving to death.

The old gentleman kept secreting saliva in his mouth, and he hadn't eaten meat for a long time, but he still ate slowly and methodically, his movements were elegant, and the table manners were very exquisite, Huo Jinzhi was the same, he ate Sven Wen, but his movements were not slow, and he ate three or four pieces of meat in just a while.

"It's true that pork is delicious, so much oil, even sweet potatoes are delicious."

The old gentleman ate a piece of meat, and his complexion was much better, he was actually not seriously ill, but he was hungry.

"Potatoes also smell meaty, Mr. Qi, you eat more, and there are two or three catties of meat." Su Wanrou couldn't help persuading and was very polite to the old gentleman.

The old gentleman's surname is Qi, he was transferred from other brigades to the Mopanshan Brigade three years ago, no one knows what exactly happened, the captain of the Mopanshan Brigade is also surnamed Tang, and most of the people in the brigade are surnamed Tang, a total of one ancestral hall.

Captain Tang used to be the head of the village, and then changed to the captain of the production team, he is very prestigious in the team, and he is a kind person, Mr. Qi still takes care of him, let him herd cattle in the team, which is the lightest job, and the team will give him some rations every month.

But he didn't dare to score more, otherwise the rest of the team would make trouble, and the rations would be enough for Mr. Qi to hang his life without dying, he lived next door to Huo's house, and Huo Jinzhi would often help him work.

In return for the favor, Mr. Qi taught Huo Jinzhi cultural knowledge, and then he simply handed over his rations, and the two families started a partnership together, barely able to mix half full.

"Eat more, children should ensure nutrition when they grow up."

Mr. Qi only ate two or three pieces of meat, only pulled potatoes to eat, and the stewed potatoes were as delicious, he was old, eating too much meat was a waste, Huo Jinzhi's children should eat more.

And the Tang family sent meat this time, but it may not be sent next time, so let's save the meat for the children to eat.
