Chapter Seventy-Two: One More Hand

She chose two water-red quilts, two goose yellow quilts, and a brown mattress, and ordered more than 20 catties of cotton with the guy in the store, and instructed him to make two thin quilts and two thick quilts.

The guys in the shop looked at Du Lan and Gu Youan, judging from their clothes, they were shabby, but they were not like rich people, who ordered so much cloth and cotton at once, and were busy quoting to them.

"The cotton in our store costs ten cents a pound, and you set it for more than twenty catties, plus cloth, a total of two or five hundred dollars."

Duran smiled indifferently, took out two taels of silver from his pocket, and handed them to the guy: "These two taels are deposits, and when I come to pick up the bedding, I will pay the rest of the final payment." ”

When he saw the silver, the man immediately put on a smiling face, "Okay, I'll write it down for you." ”

When Gu Chunyan heard this, she said pretendedly: "Sister-in-law, is it not enough money, or I will help you pay it first, right?" ”

Duran glanced at her with disdain, and sneered: "Selling meat does make money quickly, we can't compare." ”

Gu Chunyan immediately heard what Du Lan meant, and immediately blushed with annoyance, "People are kind, you don't appreciate it." ”

After speaking, he turned around and went to the guy to check out, and his voice deliberately said very loudly: "Shopkeeper, remember to make my clothes beautiful, it cost me five taels of silver." ”

The guy smiled and said, "Don't worry, girl, you are satisfied." ”

Gu Chunyan glanced at Du Lan arrogantly, and then took the first step back to the carriage, she was humiliated by Du Lan just now, she was indignant in her heart, wait for her to become the wife of the Xu family in the future, and see how she humiliates back.

Gu You'an silently calculated the account in his heart, and sent sweet and sour fish to Wuwei Zhai today, and it was only sold for more than two taels of silver in total, and Duran spent it all at once. He wanted to persuade Duran a few words just now, but Duran earned all the money, and he was buying bedding for their new house, and he swallowed it back when the words came to his lips.

Duran didn't notice Gu You'an's thoughts, came out of Buzhuang and got into the carriage, and when he went back, he passed by the vegetable market again, and Gu Chunyan shouted to get off again.

Du Lan frowned impatiently and turned his head to look at Gu Chunyan: "What are you going to do?" ”

"Sister-in-law, when I was selling vegetables in the morning, I saw a pork seller, and our family hasn't eaten pork for half a year."

Gu Youan shouted outside the carriage: "Brother Xue, please stop." ”

Gu Chunyan happily thanked Gu You'an, and quickly got out of the car and entered the vegetable market.

Duran secretly glanced at Gu Youan, he agreed with Gu Chunyan's words, did he also want to eat pork? Thinking about it, she jumped out of the carriage too.

Seeing this, Gu Youan hurriedly shouted: "Lady, what are you going to buy?" ”

Duran winked mischievously at him, "Wait, we'll eat well today." ”

Gu Chunyan was pointing in front of the stall selling pork, and Du Lan then stepped forward and asked about all the parts on the stall, and soon had an idea.

"Boss, I want all the pigs in your stall to go into the water, and I want this big pot of pig blood. Also, pig ears, pig heads, I want them too. ”

Gu Chunyan couldn't help snickering after hearing this, and raised the two catties of pork belly in her hand: "Sister-in-law, how can you buy these dirty things?" ”

"Dirty? I don't know which one is dirty compared to my cousin! ”

"You! Hum! Gu Chunyan was bored, stomped her feet, and left first with two catties of pork.

The pork liver, pig blood, pig intestine, hairy belly, pig blood, etc., these slippery things, she couldn't carry them without a vegetable basket, and finally bargained with the boss, so the boss built a wooden basin and took all the things away.

After getting into the carriage, Gu Youan looked at the basin in her hand and couldn't help frowning, but Duran didn't care, and shouted directly to the front: "Brother Xue, don't stop anymore, go back to the village directly." ”

Gu Chunyan pursed her lips disdainfully, obviously because she was afraid that she would stop again.

Gu Youan looked at the disgusting potted things, and couldn't help but wonder, so he asked, "Lady, what are you buying these things for?" ”

"Go back and make something to eat."

"These?" Gu Youan couldn't help but widen his mouth in shock.

She just bought it in Buzhuang and enjoyed it, but now she has no money to buy pork, right? Alas!

Seeing Gu Youan secretly shaking his head, Duran glanced at him weakly, "You haven't eaten vegetables made of offal, have you?" I'll tell you, these things are in my hands, and they are better than the delicacies of the mountains and the sea. ”

Gu Chunyan sneered disdainfully, "Sister-in-law, everyone knows that these things are dirty and smelly, and only those who can't afford to eat pork have to buy some addicted ones in order to get some meat." Not to mention that my sister-in-law is a good cook, this thing is really not very delicious. ”

If it was Gu You'an's words, Du Lan would still be able to listen to it, but what kind of thing is Gu Chunyan, is it her turn to laugh at herself?

Duran pulled down his face unhappily, "It's like you eat pork every day, and if you don't want to get off the train early, just shut up for me, I don't want the whole carriage to be full of stench." ”

Gu Chunyan's face changed, and she immediately shut her mouth obediently, with Du Lan's temper, it was really possible to get out of the car halfway.

As it approached noon, as Gu Chunyan got out of the carriage, Duran's mood improved.

Xue Yan and Gu Youan watched Du Lan carry a pot full of pigs into the room, and their eyes were fixed on her.

Duran sensed their confusion, turned around and explained with a smile: "You don't think this thing is not a good thing like Gu Chunyan, right?" ”

The two nodded subconsciously, they really didn't think that pigs in the water was a good thing.

"I tell you, if this thing is done well, it will taste a hundred times more beautiful than that pork belly, and then you will be so hungry that you will swallow it in your stomach. I don't forget to tell you that my dish is in a restaurant, and it sells for fifty taels. ”

"Really?" Saying this, both of them couldn't help but look forward to it.

"When did I lie to you? By the way, You'an, I bought a lot of pigs, we can cook a big pot, let's build a new house, many people help us, you go and invite them to come over and eat together. ”

"yes, okay." Gu Youan nodded in agreement.

Now that Duran has divided the courtyard wall with the Gu family, Xue Yan was embarrassed to offer to help Duran, so he said that he wanted to play chess with Old Man Gu.

When Gu Youan notified a few relatives and friends to come back, Duran had already cleaned the pig's large intestines, and Gu Youan came back and went into the room to help.

Duran was about to make a fire to burn the pot, Gu Youan hurriedly walked to the stove and squatted down to light the stove fire, Duran looked at him with satisfaction, this man has a very good conscience, as long as she makes a fire, he will definitely snatch it and do it himself.

Compared with the intestines, the pork belly is the most difficult to deal with, after Gu Youan heated the iron pot, Duran directly turned over the hairy belly, scalded it on the iron pot again, and removed the fishy fat, and then Gu Youan brushed the iron pot again.

Duran cut the green onions, ginger and garlic, red pepper segments on the cutting board, then crush the bay leaves, cloves, star anise, and cinnamon with a rolling pin, add an appropriate amount of oil to the pot, stir-fry the dried chili peppers and peppercorns over low heat, and then fry the spices into pieces, cover the pot with the fried seasoning and simmer for one hour, and then cut the fat intestine into segments.

Boil half a pot of water, add soybean sprouts, cabbage leaves, and pig's blood to blanch, boil the stock on the stove on the other side, add rock sugar, sauce, salt, and finally put all the ingredients in, add the cooking wine they are ready to sell, cook for a while, and then take it out.

Put half the amount of oil in the clean pot, fry the seasoning over low heat, and pour it into a large porcelain basin with Mao Xuewang after the flavor is out, and sprinkle with coriander.

Because everyone was notified to come, Duran was worried that the dish was not rich enough, so he cooked the pig's head meat again, mixed it with sesame oil, fried a plate of mushu meat, and sprinkled sugar with tomatoes to make a cold fight.

Gu Youan was idle, seeing that Du Lan was busy alone, he couldn't bear it, so he asked her if there was anything he could help with, Du Lan was really busy, so he asked Gu Youan to make noodles, roll noodles, and tell him to add some salt when making noodles, so that the noodles can be rolled thin, rolled fine, and very tough.

At noon, Du Boss and his wife, Du Lan's father, his younger brother, Du Mi, Aunt Zhang, and the prosperous couple who built a house all came.

Everyone thought that they were invited to a banquet for housewarming to a new home, so everyone was empty-handed, Du Lan's father and mother brought a basket of vegetables, Aunt Zhang still brought eggs, and the Xingsheng couple brought a wooden dustpan and broom, and Du brought a bag of white sugar and some fruits.

Everyone came, and Duran's yard suddenly became crowded, in order to let everyone experience the lively atmosphere of eating Mao Xuewang, Duran deliberately asked Gu Youan to move the tables and stools to the shade of the trees in the yard.

Aunt Du watched Du Lan busy and took the initiative to go into the room to help Du Lan. Du Lanniang also said that she wanted to help, but everyone knew that she was not well, so they persuaded her to rest in peace.

Seeing this, Aunt Zhang also ran to the room, Du Lan was decorating the plates with coriander, seeing that her movements were clean and neat, the two of them smiled and walked to the front plate.

Duran boiled the noodles and fished them out, burned the cooked oil, and made a dish of oily noodles, and soon the table was filled.

Everyone sat down one by one, and when they saw the food on the table, they all opened their mouths in surprise, they had never seen these dishes at all.

But just smelling it made their saliva water.

The most curious is Xue Yan, he thinks he is well-informed, but every time Du Lan cooks a dish, his eyes shine, and the most eye-catching thing is the dish full of red oil.

He pointed to the basin: "What kind of dish is this?" ”

Duran smiled: "This dish is called Mao Xuewang, and it is my most troublesome dish, come, you all come and try it." ”

"Mao Xuewang?" Xue Yan didn't care about the humility and order, he picked up the chopsticks and rummaged through the basin, only to see that it was full of pigs bought by Duran in the vegetable market.

It turns out that she bought all those things to make a dish?

I can't help but be full of doubts, the oil in the basin is smooth and translucent, not muddy or turbid, and the soup is red and bright, which looks appetizing. Xue Yan immediately sandwiched a mouthful of large intestine, the entrance is oily but not greasy, smooth and delicious, the key is that the flavor is thick and juicy, spicy and fragrant, very distinctive.

"Well, it's delicious, it's delicious, you all come and try it." He was full of joy and entertained everyone to taste it.

Listening to Xue Yan's praise for his lady's dishes, Gu Youan couldn't help but beckon everyone to hurry up and taste it, he gave his grandfather a mouthful of hairy belly, and couldn't wait to clip a piece of blood for himself.

The other Xue Yan ate fragrantly, and immediately stopped twisting, and started to eat with chopsticks, only to know that this dish was so delicious.

In addition to Xue Yan, it is Boss Du who has the most right to speak, he helps everyone adjust the incident on weekdays, and he is invited by everyone to eat and drink, he has also been to the restaurant a few times, and the fat intestines have naturally eaten, but after tasting this dish, he can't help but sigh.

"I didn't expect that pigs in the water could make such delicious food that only exists in the sky, Lan Lan is really ingenious."

Aunt Du couldn't help but praise, "You'an married Lan Lan, and you will have a good fortune in the future." ”

Gu Youan knew that Duran's cooking skills were exquisite, but he didn't expect to make the pig into a delicious one, and he was praised by everyone, he suddenly felt that his face was radiant, he was really crooked, and he married a great lady.

For a while, Duran and Gu Youan were also known as the characters that everyone talked about, and everyone said that they were happy, and Zhao couldn't help but say more.

"I see that You'an has been red recently, and Dr. Xue's medical skills are very good, so he must be much tougher, right? Isn't it time for you to add a piece of food to your home? ”

As soon as these words came out, Gu Youan's face turned red, "Mother-in-law, this ...... It depends on what Lan Lan means. ”
