Chapter 11 Braised pork
Xiao Tao saw that although Bailing did not show it on his face, his eyes were full of expectation, it turned out that she liked the pillar, and the pillar liked herself, she was afraid that she would agree.
Although Xiao Tao felt uncomfortable, he really didn't want to marry Zhuzi, Xiao Tao smiled knowingly, "My mother didn't tell me, but I don't want to marry for the time being!" ”
Bai Ling immediately smiled, "I'll just say it!" Your heart is so high, how can you possibly look at the pillar! ”
Xiao Tao smiled and touched the tender little hand of Yuying's daughter next to him, not wanting to say anything more.
However, Bai Ling was a talkative person, and began to ramble, "Tao'er, you don't know, you have been away for so long, and there are a lot of things going on in our village!" You know that the eldest daughter of Zhou Xi's family hanged herself last winter! ”
Xiao Tao sighed in his heart, thinking of that little girl in his mind, it seems that her name is Zhou Wenying, and she is only fourteen years old this year! Looks pretty up, "Why, okay, how can you kill yourself?" ”
Bai Ling smiled awkwardly, "Alas! That one......! ”
Yuying also looked pity, and didn't pay attention to Bailing's face, "I also heard about that, isn't it Bailing's uncle, let's Li Wenlong, his son Li Tianba, together with seven or eight gangsters in our village and the next village, set up a hammerhead gang, rampant in the township, bullying men and women, bullying people together, people have no face to see people, so they hanged themselves, if it weren't for her father and mother and two children to take care of, she planned to fight with them, Keli is the county master's brother-in-law, no one dares to mess with it!" In the end, it didn't work! ”
Xiao Tao wondered in his heart: "Isn't that county order already in prison?" Don't you know? ”
Yufeng looked helpless, "I can't stand it, Lizheng has money at home!" Even if there is no county order, we can't afford to mess with it! ”
Xiao Tao nodded, knowing in his heart that Li Tianba is a local snake, a scoundrel, unless you are more powerful than him, otherwise they are bullying the soft and afraid of the hard. But it seems that their father and son don't do any work, where do they get the money?
After chatting for a long time, the two children wanted to sleep, and the three of them left together, and Xiao Tao was no longer sleepy.
I thought I would have to go around town tomorrow to see if there were any ways to make money.
Money! Money, no matter when, can't do without money!
Don't look at the white porcelain town is just a small town, but it is indeed a town that must pass through the south of the capital, although it belongs to North China County, but it is handed over to the capital, so it is also very prosperous, and people from the south to the capital choose to stay here to rectify it.
When it was almost dark, my father and mother came back from the field, and Xiao Tao looked at the piece of pork belly that my father was carrying, and I couldn't wait to hug him and kiss him.
Little Tao's face was full of soil, and he smiled, "Give, let the vigorous give it back!" ”
Xiao Tao Niang smiled and reprimanded, "Hmph! You're used to her! ”
Little Tao Daddy smiled indifferently, "Hi! The child beats rabbits by himself to earn money and eat some meat, so what! Didn't you give you all the money left? It's also verbose! ”
"That's right! Right! Daddy, hurry up and wash up, I'll make it for you now, and you can eat it in a while! ”
Xiao Tao happily entered the kitchen, first make water to blanch the meat, let it set, then cut ginger slices, peel garlic, but there are few seasonings, only peppercorns, will be used!
Blanch the meat until it is tight, then take it out and wash off the blood foam, cut it into two centimeters thick pieces of meat, in order to be well cooked, otherwise four centimeters, or about five centimeters of pieces to make, oily and shiny, red and clear is the most attractive.
Heat the oil, the oil is not too much, there is not even white sugar at home, it is a big pity, I have to put the meat in, stir-fry until the skin is yellow, fry the fat, and the meat will not be greasy.
Then put all the condiments in it, pour in the soy sauce, and immediately the flavor of the sauce and the meat are soft together.
"Huh! My daughter's cooking skills have improved a lot! It smells so good! Little Tao said while smoking a dry cigarette at the door.
Xiao Tao smiled proudly, alas! It's even better with sugar! There is no cooking wine, but it seems that when he comes back, the eldest brother bought a jar of good wine for his father, which can be used a little.
Xiao Tao ran into his father's house, and found the jar of wine at once, which was separated from the kang hole, and his father was reluctant to drink it!
Xiao Tao opened the lid and asked, it's really fierce! The taste of the wine is really strong, and it is not as sweet and mellow as the wine of later generations, but it is definitely true. Poured a little bit, then turned back to the kitchen and poured into the pot, and immediately the aroma of wine came out.
Half an hour later, Xiao Tao put the prepared potatoes in it, and the idea of eating meat alone was erased after thinking about it.
Alas! No money is really limiting!!
It is estimated that for about an hour, Xiao Tao fished out a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, the long-lost aroma of meat stimulated the taste buds, as if injected with stimulants, in fact, compared with the taste of the previous life, it was still almost hot, but for hungry people, the food eaten at the hungriest time can be recalled for a lifetime.
Xiao Tao turned around excitedly, "It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant!" ”
After stopping the fire, I took out a large pot of vegetables, and cooked polenta and distilled nest head on another stove, and a dinner was done!
"Yo! I ate meat on this big night, and I didn't say that I would send some to my father and mother, so I ate it alone, is there such a son and daughter-in-law? ”
Xiao Tao was about to send a piece of meat to his mouth, when an annoying voice came, and he immediately felt that a piece of undigested meat was blocked in his stomach. I can't even eat a meal that stops.
Little Tao Dad shook his head helplessly, took a small bowl from the kitchen, dug out a bowl from the basin, and went out to give it to the old lady, otherwise don't want to eat a good meal!
Xiao Tao Niang muttered in her mouth, "Old immortal, lazy and stupid, you know how to grind others!" ”
Xiao Tao is also helpless, the grandparents in his previous life are the best and most enlightened people in the world. I am also very helpless for such an old man who relies on the old and sells the old.
"Forget it, mother, just eat it in one bite, forget it! Let's eat it! ”
……
The next morning, Xiao Tao begged his father, "I'm just going to sell these mushrooms, I promise not to run around, and I know where the town is, and I won't get lost, please!" After grinding for a long time, my father and mother reluctantly agreed to let her into the town.
The ox cart that entered the town left at about six o'clock in the morning, walked for an hour and a half on the road, and came back at about eleven o'clock in the afternoon, once a day, for three pennies a trip.
Xiao Tao carried the mushrooms and medicinal materials he picked on his back, those medicinal materials can be used fresh, or they can be used dry, but he doesn't have time to deal with them carefully, see how much he can give when he sells them to the pharmacy, and if he can sell them this time, he will have a number in his heart.
When the seat was full, the ox cart began to sway and set off, there were already other villagers sitting on the car, Xiao Tao was not familiar with them, only smiled and did not speak, sat at the back of the car with a bamboo basket, but could not help but let some people like to talk.
