Chapter 43: The Duck's Head
After walking around and going back, the feast came to an end, most of the guests had left the table, and a few women who had come to help clean up the empty bowls.
Ordinary people, the family is not rich. Every time I make a wedding wine, it is an invitation to invite someone. The Su family is doing a big feast, and they ordered the invited people to come to dinner.
It's not that they come hungry early to eat, and the big and small ones let go of their stomachs to eat. Except for the reserved ones, all the others were eaten, there was no soup in the vegetable bowl, and there were no rice grains in the rice bucket.
Su Zhang's saw that San'er was back, and put down the dishes and chopsticks to pick them up and get off the donkey.
"Look at you, you see that you want to eat, and you have to take Kapok out for a walk. Luckily, there is food in the kitchen, otherwise you would have gone hungry. ”
Su Lingyu asked her mother to hug the kapok, climbed down the donkey by herself, patted the donkey and let it go back by itself. "Don't worry about us, go eat yours first. After a long delay, the delicious food is gone. ”
"San'er came, I left you chicken legs." Su Zhong shouted.
Kapok heard that there were chicken legs, and ran over with little short legs. Holding the chicken leg given by his brother, he bit it so much that his mouth was full of oil.
Su Lingyu was not interested in chicken legs, so she went into the small kitchen to get her own dishes and chopsticks. Unbeknownst to her, Su Li had already prepared her meal, and there were ten dishes of all kinds. Now she just needs to eat her full food.
Su Chengqi took out the brewed sorghum wine and drank it with his brothers.
When the scattered table was drunk, Su Chengqi was helped into the house to rest, and the rest were sent back in a carriage.
The guests dispersed, the woman followed to pack up her things, and Su Zhong and Su Shan helped to send back the borrowed tables and benches.
When he was free, Su Chong Sushan threw himself into bed and slept until dark.
"How's dinner?" Su Zhang asked his mother.
The man in the family hadn't woken up yet, and she didn't know what to eat at night.
"Let's keep it simple." Su Li was so tired that he didn't want to move.
Although a few women were called to help, they needed to do a lot of the work.
"Just boil a pot of porridge, white porridge with dried radish." Su Lingyu said, "After a tiring day, they don't have much appetite, and what they ate in the morning may not have been digested." ”
"Good. I'm going to make porridge. ”
Su Lingyu grinded mustard seeds and peppercorns, "A total of fifteen taels of gift money were received, the shopkeeper of Fushenglou sent five taels, three taels from Old Man Li, and the rest ranged from more than 100 yuan to more than 100 yuan, and less than a dozen yuan." ”
She looked at the recorded gift money, and the nearby squires all sent money, ranging from a few hundred to a hundred. This gift money is already a lot, and if they take it out, they will feel distressed.
"It's enough to have these, you look at the account book and look for it, whoever has a bad family, we will send it back." Su Li said.
"Okay." Su Lingyu shouted to the mother in the kitchen, "Mother, soak the clay pot on the stove in cold water." ”
"What do you want to do with this duck's head and chicken feet? Although there are two bites of meat, there is not much meat either. ”
Add some mustard seeds and continue grinding, "just make some snacks." ”
This time, the family killed five ducks and twelve chickens, and before chopping the chickens and ducks, she instructed her mother to leave the duck heads and chicken feet. She's useful.
The next ring, the guests dispersed, and she simmered the duck's head with charcoals, and steamed the chicken feet with the help of firewood.
The duck head can be eaten tonight, but the chicken feet will have to wait until tomorrow.
Su Li looked at San'er and remembered what the goddess said.
The goddess said that San'er was the ancestor of the Su family, and she didn't know which ancestor she was. Now watching her make chicken feet and eat duck heads, I think she is not the ancestor of those three generations. Those three generations of ancestors were not the masters of suffering.
Su Chengqi went out and stretched his waist, twisted his waist and moved his neck, drank a sip of tea to wake up, "Ah! "Woke up
Su Zhong got up before Su Shan, he hugged the kapok who woke up from sleep and put her on the recliner.
Su Shan went to put a soak of urine, his bones were soft, "Mother, do you have anything to eat?" Sitting on the bench and looking at the duck's head in the sea bowl, "What is this?" Yellow, can you eat this duck head? ”
Su Lingyu didn't plan to say it, just picked up a duck head and gnawed it, and the marinated duck head was not hot to pick up. If you bite into it, it will be soft and soft, and eat the part that links the neck first, which has a lot of meat. It's especially interesting to bite and eat,
I saw my sister sucking the soup and chewing the duck head meat. Su Shan was also moved, picked up a duck chin, and took a bite.
The duck's head was soft, and he bit off a piece of it in one bite, chewing it with juice and meat in his mouth. The soup where several spices come together, and the fresh aroma of the duck meat, really get more and more fragrant the more you eat it.
"Duck head can still be eaten like this!" Su Li ate one and said, "If the duck heads are all like this, I won't be afraid that no one will eat them." ”
There is no meat on the duck head, and children don't like to eat it, so they are left for adults to eat at the end. If you make it like this, you won't be afraid that your child won't like it.
"Smear it with mustard seed powder, it's even more delicious!" Su Lingyu said.
Su Li doesn't like spicy food, and she doesn't stick to mustard seed powder.
Su Chong and Su Shan got a little dipped, and they didn't want to touch it a second time.
Kapok dipped some with his fingers, put it in his mouth to eat, and cried directly, crying to find his mother.
"Fool, eat everything, it's spicy. Come and drink some water. Su Zhang took her to drink water.
Gulping down the braised duck head, swallowing the soup first, then eating the duck head meat, and then putting the duck skull down. After eating this and taking that, ten ducks with a jaw and ducks on the top are not enough to eat.
"In the future, the ducks will be slaughtered and the duck heads will be kept." Su Chong is still unfinished.
"Forget the duck head, it's a waste of spices." took the white porridge handed over by his mother, and sandwiched a chopsticks and dried radish.
White porridge with dried radish and salty cucumber can warm the stomach the most.
"Why don't these chicken feet have any salt?" Su Chengqi bit the chicken feet all the time and walked out of the kitchen with porridge.
"This is what San'er wants, don't move." Su Zhang softly blamed Xianggong.
"Yo, what do you want to eat?" I don't plan to put the bitten chicken feet back, just touch some salt and eat them directly.
"Don't move yet." She hasn't had time to figure it out yet.
Put the steamed chicken feet into the jar, then put in the water for soaking sour bamboo shoots, put in mustard seeds, put in Sichuan peppercorns, soak them for one night, and they will be able to soak tomorrow.
The white chicken feet, soaked in sour juice, drooled when I thought about it.
"Have you asked about the Great Wilderness Mountain?" Su Li asked.
Su Chengqi snorted and drank a bowl of porridge, "I asked, Li Zheng said yes, find the village chief tomorrow, find Li Zheng to measure the place, and get the title deed." ”
With a person in the family and exemption from all taxes, Su Chengqi wanted to buy more land.
The land surnamed Li is under the name of Li Yongzhi, and there is no need to pay taxes, and the Li family will not sell the land. You have to ask about the fields of people with foreign surnames.
Su Chengqi and his two sons in the family said: "The Great Wilderness Mountain was bought by San'er's money, and the title deed of the Great Wilderness Mountain will be on San'er's name, do you have any opinions?" ”
"No comment." The first to answer was Su Shan.
"No comment." Su Zhong was very strange, "Where did San'er get the money?" ”
"The one who sells eels." Kapok, who was eating porridge, answered first.
"That's how your money comes from, San'er, you're not honest." Su Chengqi teased.
"The yellow eel was raised by the third son, and it is also appropriate to leave some of it." Su Li will always be a supporter of San'er.
Su Zhang followed closely and glared at Xiang Gong.
