Chapter 183: Killing the New Year Pig
She didn't think that Li Xiuhua was scolding people and scolding her like a dog.
Li Xiuhua was not worried that Li Qiuju would be angry, but lowered her voice and said, "My words are a little ugly, but think about it, have you been very angry with Lin Zifu recently." ”
She didn't look down on Li Qiuju's unprofitable appearance, in fact, she was jealous in her heart, jealous that Li Qiuju could still have a good relationship with Lin Zifu, and she could also take advantage.
Li Qiuju glanced at Li Xiuhua impatiently and said, "What's wrong with me talking to Lin Zifu?" If I don't scold her, will she scold you? Follow Lin Zifu to have a good life, and Lin Zifu is a little worse, good to everyone, people are also kind, there are good things and think about us, you look at He Dayou's family, in the past, he was only willing to buy half a catty of meat to eat during the New Year, and he actually killed the New Year's pig this year, his family and He Dahua have the best relationship with Lin Zifu, I also want to kill the New Year's pig for the New Year next year, and I also want to have a better life, you don't talk nonsense here, it doesn't work to sow discord. ”
After speaking, he shook off Li Xiuhua's hand and walked to the other side to ignore Li Xiuhua.
This move made Li Xiuhua blow her beard and stare at her.
There are also people around who are lively, and it's funny to look at Li Xiuhua's appearance.
Tian Guiying muttered a few words in Lin Zifu's ear, Lin Zifu looked at Li Xiuhua and sighed slightly, this woman really doesn't know how to stop, the people in the village have stopped, and she likes to sow discord in the middle.
He Dahua and He Yunhu came out with pig ears, and the other two strong men in the village who came to help drove the pigs out of the slaughter behind.
On a makeshift stove beside it, a large iron pot was filled with boiling water.
And the hired pig killer stood aside, waiting for the pig to be overturned and pressed.
Lin Zifu wanted pig blood, and she had already asked Aunt Liao to prepare the wooden basin, and couldn't help but say, "Wait for only the cleanest bit of blood, don't have any excess." ”
The blood that flows from the pig's hair is certainly not that good, and the really best thing is the blood that splatters when the pig is killed, and that kind of blood is clean.
The pig killer turned around and smiled at Lin Zifu and promised, "Don't worry, I will give you clean blood." ”
Thinking of the taste of Mao Xuewang, Lin Zifu was about to drool, this dish was spicy and fragrant, and it was a dish she liked very much.
But anything eaten in this era is original, and this pig's blood must be delicious as long as it is made.
She waited for the pig's blood to come out, and then put a little salt to solidify.
No one left on the sidelines, waiting to see the pig killed.
In fact, Lin Zifu didn't have much feeling about this kind of scene, the weak eat the strong, and pork was originally just food.
Watching the pig killer clean the pig hair and clean the pig's internal organs, I always feel that the action is done in one go.
Lin Zifu came to buy meat, the people in the village like to eat slightly fatty meat, when she came to this era, she also likes to eat fatty meat, it seems that only fatty meat feels enjoyable, but now life is a little better, life is getting better and better, naturally she can buy whatever she wants, so she cut a very large and lean piece of meat.
This made both He Dayou and He Dahua understand.
Lin Zifu pondered, after two days of drying, and the moisture on the surface was dry, she had to go to the mountain to cut cypress branches and come back, and use cypress branches to smoke meat, and the bacon made in this way was the most delicious.
carried more than 20 catties of meat and went home directly.
There are also people in the village who come forward to buy meat, all of which are bought for one or two catties, and He Dayou also sold it directly.
As soon as she got home, Lin Zifu cut the meat into pieces and hung more than a dozen pieces on the beams of the stove room, naturally smeared salt on it.
After cleaning up, Aunt Liao came over and called Lin Zifu to come over for dinner.
Aunt Ying had already returned from the town, and happened to buy a jar of wine, and went to He Dayou's house with Lin Zifu with the wine.
Killing the New Year's pig is a big deal, He Dayou invited the village elders to dinner, and there were three tables directly in the courtyard, one table for women, and the elders sat at two tables.
Mao Xuewang hadn't been cooked yet, and He Dayou knew that Lin Zifu liked to eat it, so he left Xuewang directly, and he didn't plan to take it out and share it with everyone.
A large table of dishes were all hard dishes, and Lin Zifu drooled when she saw it.
Aunt Liao sandwiched a big bone in Lin Zifu's bowl and said, "This big bone is stewed, and the bone marrow in it is very fragrant, you hurry up and eat it." ”
He Xiaoyan also sandwiched a piece of lean meat for Lin Zifu, and said with a sweet smile: "Sister Zifu, you like to eat lean meat, eat more." ”
Then came Aunt Ying...... Lin Zifu looked at the empty bowl in front of her and instantly filled, looking at everyone helplessly, it seemed that she was really happy to be taken care of by everyone, but how could she eat such a big bowl.
In the evening, Lin Zifu used her cooking skills to cook Mao Xuewang, there was no hairy belly, but Xuewang was fresh and delicious.
The hot and spicy Xuewang was served on the table and was immediately favored.
There are not many people who eat at night, and the old rules are still the same as before.
Everyone in the village now knows that Lin Zifu and He Dayou, He Dahua, and He Yunhu's four families have a close relationship, and they often eat together, and they are more affectionate than relatives.
But these are things that can't come from jealousy.
I think that when Lin Zifu came to the village, so many people gossiped, and only people came forward to greet her.
There was nothing to do for two days in a row, and she and Aunt Ying cleaned the house inside and out.
Lin Zifu was pondering about cooking braised vegetables.
Everyone wants to play during the New Year, no, and you have to treat yourself when the time comes, so you can't be busy preparing a big table to eat.
In short, her plan is to prepare some braised vegetables, now that the weather is cold, the meat she bought is no problem to keep at home for several days, and she doesn't have to worry about it at all.
Aunt Ying listened carefully and agreed: "Your plan is good, I think it's okay to prepare lo-mei, and besides, the lo-mei you prepared must be delicious, and we will go to the town to prepare meat tomorrow." ”
She is in a very good mood, and she is happier this year's New Year than last year in Zhoufu.
In the past, even if there were many people in the Zhou Mansion during the Chinese New Year, they were all deserted, and other maids and maids gathered together to celebrate, but no one cared about her, she was also withdrawn at that time, she didn't like to contact people at all, and others also resisted her.
And this year is different, with a godson, Lei Qin is also pregnant with a child, and he has made a lot of money this year, and the New Year is delicious, no, someone will already invite him to dinner tomorrow night for the New Year.
Lin Zifu looked at Aunt Ying's good face and was in a good mood, wrote a list of New Year's goods that needed to be purchased, and went to the town with Aunt Ying the next day.
It just so happened that Aunt Liao was also going to the town to buy goods, so He Dahua drove the ox cart into the city together.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, it seems that the town is also lively, with more pedestrians coming and going, and even vendors setting up stalls.
The entrance to the medicine hall was a lot deserted.
That's right, everyone avoids entering the medicine hall during the New Year.
Lin Zifu carried a piece of meat into the medicine hall, and saw Angelica wiping the medicine cabinet, and didn't see Doctor Ye: "Angelica." ”
Angelica was beautiful when he heard Lin Zifu's voice, he knew that his son-in-law had always wanted to see Lin Zifu, and now that Lin Zifu was here, he had to steal the fun.
"Miss Lin is here, hurry up to the back hall, my son-in-law said that he has something for you, and said that if you don't come to town today, he is ready to go to the village tomorrow to find you."
He didn't want to ask too much about the matter of Doctor Ye and Lin Zifu.
Lin Zifu nodded, and glanced back, Aunt Ying and Aunt Liao were gone, and they estimated that they had already gone shopping, but fortunately, the town was not big, and they could be found later.
When I entered the back hall, I heard the sound of the night doctor reading, all about pharmacology.
Lin Zifu entered the house directly without knocking on the door, but the night doctor raised his head with a smile when he heard the footsteps.
"I was thinking that you should come to town, promise, the things on the table are for you, Miss Xu sent it, and she also sent a letter, and there is also news from the Zhou family."
was in a good mood, but when he talked about the Zhou family, he felt a little uncomfortable, and the Zhou family was really troublesome.
Lin Zifu stepped forward and looked at a large bag of things wrapped in cloth, and she didn't know what was inside, so she immediately untied it curiously: "Miss Xu sent it to me?" What did she send me something for. ”
When the burden was untied, there were a lot of things inside, a set of freshly made clothes, a jewelry box, and a sachet, all seven or eight things packed in the bag.
Seeing these things, he didn't understand it anymore, and raised his head to look at Doctor Night.
Doctor Night was also confused.
"And the letter, maybe you will understand it after reading the letter." The night doctor pointed to the letter beside him.
Lin Zifu nodded and opened the letter.
The letter was written about what happened after she left the county, and Lin Zifu smiled after reading the letter.
Doctor Night was a little curious and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Lin Zifu knew that Doctor Ye was not a person with a broken mouth, so she sat down and told Miss Xu about it, and said with emotion: "Fortunately, Master Xu is not a foolish person, and fortunately, the county magistrate is not pedantic, this matter has been dealt with, the beast was arrested, but she took pity on Miss Xu, she swore that she would never marry in this life, but Master Xu planned to send Miss Xu to another place, and said to the public that her husband was dead." ”
It's good that Miss Xu didn't compromise in the end.
After all, there are not many roads in front of Miss Xu, and it is the best result to be what she is now.
Miss Xu bought it for her, saying that she didn't know how to be grateful.
Of course, the things in the baggage had to be accepted, she tied up the baggage, and then asked about the Zhou family: "You said that the Zhou family is there...... What the hell is going on. ”
Doctor Ye poured Lin Zifu a cup of tea, and then said slowly: "You take a sip of tea to warm up your body first, Zhou Mingqi has already agreed to the marriage of the Qin family." ”
Lin Zifu, who was holding a teacup, looked at Doctor Ye with some joy: "You said he agreed." ”
She is happy, as long as Zhou Mingqi agrees to the marriage of the Qin family, then she has a greater chance of getting out.
Seriously, her impression of Zhou Mingqi is not bad, but her impression of Mrs. Zhou is not good, and getting rid of the Zhou family is what she is looking forward to the most.
