Chapter 6 Roasted Goose Paws Alive

Wang Jiuzhi specially invited Aunt Cui beside the fifth girl in order to bind Ruixue's feet. He had already inquired clearly, and this time she was the one who did the fifth girl's foot binding, and he heard that she was the second wife's nurse, and even the second wife's feet were wrapped by her, so he specially begged her.

"This footbinding is a big deal. Look at how well the second wife's feet are wrapped. That's a blessing. married to the second master, and now she is the prefect's wife, and she will soon be the wife of the Shandong Political Division. Aunt Cui kept talking about her binding the feet of the second wife, the eldest girl, and the second girl.

Although Wang Jiuzhi didn't like her, because of the matter next to Ruixue, he had to flatter her. At the end, he also wrapped five taels of silver for her, and gave one tael of silver to each of the two people who came to help: "Auntie, this is a gift." ”

Aunt Cui put it in her hand and weighed it, estimated that it looked like four or five taels, and nodded slightly. He said, "Go get some hot water." Buy another white cloth and a bottle of white sail wine. ”

Wang Jiuzhi prepared these and asked Aunt Cui to bind Ruixue's feet.

Aunt Cui ordered Ruixue to take off her shoes and socks, soak them in the water, and sit there without moving. He only followed the two daughters-in-law who came with him.

"Chef Wang, it's going to be a long time! You and those drinks and food for us to eat! A thin and tall daughter-in-law looked at Wang Jiuzhi standing at the door for a long time without even saying anything, and said a little unhappily.

Another daughter-in-law with high cheekbones also said, "Exactly." I'm smoking! Two sips of wine are fine! ”

Wang Jiu pointed to Aunt Cui, who was meditating like an old monk, and said, "I don't know what Auntie likes to eat?" ”

Aunt Cui opened her eyes and looked at the two daughters-in-law and said, "What kind of wine are you eating?" After a while, I will bind the feet of the five girls, and I will be drunk and ruined......"

The thin and tall daughter-in-law sneered: "It's just a few cups, how can it get in the way?" I just came to the old mansion with the third young master, and I always heard that Chef Wang made a good dish, and I wanted to beg for it with a thick face! ”

The daughter-in-law with high cheekbones thought that she had been with Aunt Cui for a long time, and she spoke a little presumptuously: "Even when we tied the feet of the eldest girl and the second girl, Mrs. also set up a wine table for us to eat." ”

Wang Jiuzhi nodded hurriedly: "Exactly." It's that I don't understand the rules. Please also ask the aunt to appreciate some face. ”

Aunt Cui said with some embarrassment on her face: "Later, I will have to bind the feet of the five girls, and only eat two cups." ”

Wang Jiuzhi asked what he wanted to eat.

Aunt Cui said with her hand: "Where do I know what to eat." But I vaguely remember that when the third young master was studying, he talked about roasting live goose paws, and I wondered in my heart, how could this goose paw be roasted alive? I've lived so old in vain, but I've never heard of this, Chef Wang, can you explain it to me? ”

Hearing her say this, Wang Jiuzhi was shocked, and he was stunned and silent.

Aunt Cui pouted and said, "Is there such a thing?" I also wondered, where else are there live goose paws? I'll make it clear to you. If the girl is in pain, crying......"

Wang Jiu glanced at Rui Xue, who was soaking her feet, clenched her fists and said, "Yes, auntie, wait, this is quite a lot of effort." ”

Looking at Wang Jiuzhi, who turned around and went out, the daughter-in-law with high cheekbones laughed and said, "Where is there such a thing?" This goose paw is cooked, where is there any dead or alive! ”

Aunt Cui ignored her, just looked Ruixue up and down, and said, "Chef Wang is such a person, how can he give birth to such a handsome girl?" Look, it's just a little beauty embryo when it's a little older! ”

The tall and thin daughter-in-law smiled and said, "If it weren't for the little beauty embryo, who would spend this effort?" Saying that, she asked Rui Xue how old she was, what her name was, and what kind of place she was from.

Seeing that Rui Xue answered neatly, Aunt Cui also nodded.

The daughter-in-law with high cheekbones looked at Wang Jiuzhi's house and complained, "Auntie, why did you ask your wife for this errand?" Come back to this rural place. And it was with the fifth girl, I saw Aunt Liao yesterday, and she complained that she stayed. The fifth girl is not the granddaughter of the old lady, and when the uncle and the old man study in the country, they still have to take people away when they become officials, and we will not have any errands at that time? ”

Aunt Cui took a sip of tea and said, "If you don't want to, go to the third young master." ”

The daughter-in-law with high cheekbones said deflatedly: "Then there is still a place for me to live?" Just those little goblins could eat me alive. I'd like to be on an errand for a few more years! ”

Aunt Cui smiled: "I have my reason for calling you from here." ”

The tall and thin daughter-in-law smiled and said, "Exactly." Zuo is just serving one of the five girls, and the monthly money is a lot, so let's pay off some leisure. ”

While talking, Wang Jiuzhi really sent a few snacks to accompany the wine, and explained that the live roasted goose paws were still being made, and asked them to wait for a while.

Aunt Cui took a sip of wine and said, "You go and get busy with you, let's eat two cups and do things." But you can't be soft-hearted. If you don't agree, I won't pester! ”

Wang Jiuzhi replied again and again.

After soaking in hot water for half an hour, Aunt Cui wiped Ruixue's feet dry. I took a low stool and sat opposite Ruixue. He tore a piece of white cotton cloth from it, rested Ruixue's feet on his knees, and tied his legs with a white cloth. Then he took the white sail wine and rubbed it inside Ruixue's feet, and gently put the other four toes in one place except the big toe, that is, wrapped them in a white cloth.

Ruixue didn't feel anything at first, but she felt a little uncomfortable that her feet were tightly wrapped in strips of cloth. She tried to jerk her feet, but was held down tightly by the tall and thin daughter-in-law.

Aunt Cui smiled and asked, "But it's uncomfortable?" Shall I slow down? ”

Before Rui Xue could answer, the daughter-in-law with high cheekbones said suspiciously: "Auntie, this is ...... Five girls, that's still waiting! ”

"You know what?" Aunt Cui yelled at her, and asked Ruixue with a smile, "Does this feel good?" ”

Sure enough, the strip of cloth was not as tightly wrapped as Fang, and it was really better. She smiled and nodded.

Aunt Cui said: "I haven't pestered anyone for several years, good boy, if you feel uncomfortable, tell Auntie!" ”

As the white cloth wrapped the second toe and the little toe bent towards her feet, Rui Xue felt a little tingling, and she struggled to pump her feet, but where did Aunt Cui break free from her, she had already held on tightly. The daughter-in-law with high cheekbones: "If you are from the five families, take a needle to sew." ”

But seeing that your fifth daughter-in-law quickly threaded the needle and thread, followed Aunt Cui's movements, and sewed the white cloth finely.

Rui Xue couldn't help but speak: "It hurts, my aunt hurts!" ”

Aunt Cui kept moving, and said with a smile on her face: "Good boy endure it, where does it hurt so much?" ”

Rui Xue bit her lower lip and said cautiously: "It really hurts, it's uncomfortable." ”

Aunt Cui said: "Everyone in the world is like this, I can't stand this little pain, where can I do it?" You just bear with it, and it will be over in a while. ”

When she got to the back, Rui Xue only felt that her feet were burning like hot charcoal, and her heart ached. She began to struggle, kicking her feet non-stop, but Aunt Cui had already tied her legs, and she couldn't move at all.

She cried, "It hurts! Hurt! ”

"Cry what cry!

Seeing Ruixue crying, Aunt Cui scolded sharply.

Rui Xue was so fierce that she didn't dare to speak again, biting her lower lip aggrievedly, and sobbing softly.

Finally, she couldn't hold back anymore and cried: "Daddy, daddy save me!" I hurt! ”

Wang Jiuzhi, who sent things over, listened to Rui Xue crying, not to mention how uncomfortable it was in his heart, this cry and cry simply cut his heart fiercely, and sprinkled a handful of salt.

He hurriedly walked into the house and watched a daughter-in-law pressing Ruixue's young body tightly, and Aunt Cui tied Ruixue's feet fiercely, and couldn't help but feel a little stunned. He stood aside and begged Aunt Cui with a trembling voice: "Aunt Cui, you lighter, lighter." And said, "Ruixue, daddy is here, daddy is here!" ”

As soon as Rui Xue heard Wang Jiuzhi's voice, and saw his people again, she cried loudly: "Daddy, I don't want to bind my feet, I don't want it!" It hurts, it hurts! ”

Wang Jiuzhi heard her tell not to wrap her feet, and hurriedly said: "Aunt Cui, we won't wrap up!" We're not wrapping it up! ”

"Ahh

I heard a scream from Ruixue.

As soon as Wang Jiuzhi heard Rui Xue's scream, he hurriedly threw away the things in his hand, threw himself to the side of the bed and softly called Rui Xue's name: "Rui Xue, Rui Xue." ”

Ruixue, who was relieved, looked at Wang Jiuzhi pitifully, and said pleadingly: "Daddy, I hurt so much, you let the eldest lady lighten it." As he spoke, he gasped and cried out in pain.

I only listened to Aunt Cui and said: "Wang Jiuzhi, I know that your family Ruixue is good, if you want to call her the same as you, then we will be happy to throw away our hands today!" You are also a father, and whether the girl marries well or not depends on these feet, and now the pain is only a matter of a few months. In the future, the girl will not be a good person, but it will be a lifetime thing. Your Ruixue grows so well, can't it be just wasted! ”

Wang Jiuzhi listened, and turned around silently. How could he call Rui Xue to have a bad time! Then wrap it up! He covered his ears and ran away. He didn't dare to hear Ruixue's cries again. Oh, yes! Soft-heartedness is just a matter of time for a while, and Ruixue's future days will be a big deal.

Rui Xue saw Wang Jiuzhi running away, and shouted again and again: "Daddy, Daddy!" ”

"Good boy, don't be afraid of pain! If you want your father not to have to cook for anyone in the future, bear with it. She just said it casually, but she didn't want to talk about Ruixue's heart.

After a while, Aunt Cui took her hand and looked at Ruixue, who was already crying and fainting, and beckoned people to go out.

Wang Jiuzhi picked up three live geese and stood outside the house, unable to hear Ruixue's cry, and hurriedly rushed forward to ask: "Auntie, this is ......?"

"I'm tired of crying. That's all for today, and I'll be back in three days! There is one thing I have to make clear to you, the child screams in pain, you can't be soft-hearted! ”

Wang Jiuzhi hurriedly agreed: "Auntie, sit here, I'll get the goose paws out." ”

Aunt Cui said: "No, I will have to bind the feet of the five girls in a while, and it will not be bad for today." ”

The fifth daughter-in-law looked at Wang Jiuzhi holding three live geese screaming around their necks, and smiled and was about to take it: "Why don't you give us this goose, and we will go back and get it ourselves." ”

Wang Jiuzhi raised the goose high and said, "This is the live roasted goose paw." The ripe goose is not dead. ”

Roasted goose paws, one of the nine cruel dishes in China. It is recorded in Qing Yuan Mei's "Suiyuan Food List" and Li Yu's "Idle Love and Occasional Mail", and there are many methods.

Roughly a live goose, wash the two palms of the goose, prepare the seasoning, prepare a wooden board to drill two holes in it, prepare a stove, and when the fire is strong, take the goose paws through the holes in the wooden board to the stove to roast, while roasting, while coating with seasonings, until the goose paws are roasted to the size of a sunflower fan, and then cut off and eat. Because it is only roasted goose paws, the goose will not run out of gas during the roasting process.

The record of "Idle Love and Occasional Mail" "Some people are good at making goose paws. The method is: before each goose is killed, boil a pot of boiling oil. He grabbed the goose and pressed its palm into the oil, and the goose screamed in pain. Then throw it into the water and let it struggle and thrash to relieve the pain. Then grab the oil pan and put it in the pool water, and repeat four times. Then they will be sharpened and concocted, and their goose paws will be extremely thick and sweet."

In fact, there are several steps to wrap your feet, and it is not done all at once, it is an extremely painful thing......
