Chapter 53: Steamed pork

Gu Qing opened the bag.

This is a large bag sewn with cloth, the capacity of the pocket is very large, it can hold a lot of things, it is stuffed by Gu Guozhang at this time, and on top is a piece of pork belly wrapped in newspaper, about two catties or so.

It's just a piece of meat, which would be the most surprising thing if it were left for more than 30 years.

But now is the early eighties, when there was a shortage of materials, and in the era when all kinds of bills had not been cancelled, such a piece of meat was extremely rare in the countryside.

Gu Qing originally thought that he hadn't eaten anything delicious in the next few decades, so how could he be hungry for meat?

However, when she saw the red and white meat in front of her, she licked her lips very angrily.

It's gluttony.

The Gu family's life in Xiaowu Village is very good, but this is only relative, in the environment of material shortage, no matter how much Yang Xiuyun loves the child, it is impossible to conjure up good things in the air, right?

Therefore, the Gu family can only eat meat when Gu Guozhang comes back.

Gu Qing is sixteen or seventeen years old, and it seems normal for him to be hungry for meat...... Right?

She made a reason for her uncompetitive performance in her heart.

And Gu Bai, after seeing this piece of meat, also swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva, but he also noticed Gu Qing's appearance, so he pointed at Gu Qing and laughed several times, "Sister, I saw it, you are licking your lips, you are greedy!" ”

Gu Qing's head was full of black lines.

This bear child, what nonsense is telling the truth!

The tiger rubbed his face on Gu Bai's head fiercely, and Gu Qing said: "It's the same as if you are not greedy!" ”

Watching the fight between the sister and brother, Gu Guozhang and Yang Xiuyun shook their heads and laughed beside them.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about you, even if I haven't eaten meat for so long, I'm a little greedy, the piece of meat that your dad brought back is two catties, how do you want to eat it?" Yang Xiuyun said.

When Gu Qing and Gu Bai lowered their heads and thought about how to eat this meat, Gu Guozhang was a little sad.

As the head of the family and the father of two children, he made his children so hungry, and it was still him, a father, who did not give his children a good life.

Because of this, Gu Guozhang secretly made a decision in his heart.

At this time, Gu Qing and Gu Bai of course didn't know what Gu Guozhang was thinking, Gu Bai looked at this piece of meat, although he was greedy, but he really wanted him to say how he wanted to eat it, but he couldn't say why.

Why?

Of course, it's because he eats too little meat, and for him the meat tastes good no matter how he cooks it.

As soon as Gu Qing saw Gu Bai's appearance, he knew what he was thinking.

Out of breath!

She said secretly in her heart.

But at the same time, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her brother.

Compared with the current era of material scarcity, people in more than thirty years will undoubtedly live a good life like a fairy, but her younger brother, her parents, have not been able to wait for that day to come.

Thinking like this, Gu Qing paused slightly, and then looked at Yang Xiuyun: "Mom, when I went to school to get the notice a few days ago, I went to the acquisition station to buy a few old books, one of which is a recipe, and the meat dishes recorded on it must be delicious, otherwise, Mom, you will let me try it?" ”

After speaking, Gu Qing also smiled at Yang Xiuyun.

In these years, the countrymen may not be able to eat meat once a month, and even if they can, it is not enough, so where can they call the scourge of girls who can't cook at all?

Yang Xiuyun glared at Gu Qing, "You girl, you can't even hold a kitchen knife, and let you try to make meat dishes, don't harm good things!" ”

Gu Qing was not discouraged, and continued, "Mom, you don't want to think about it, I was born by you, but it's just a few meat dishes, it's not a piece of cake, is it?" ”

immediately amused Yang Xiuyun.

Yang Xiuyun is a good mother who loves her children, if she can, of course she will not refuse her children's requests, so, hearing Gu Qing say this, she glanced at Gu Qing and confirmed: "Qingqing, are you sure you can make delicious meat dishes?" ”

As soon as Gu Qing saw that there was a door, he immediately said: "Mom, of course, don't worry, I won't waste this piece of meat in the first place!" ”

Yang Xiuyun shook her head, and it was time to come down.

Gu Guozhang and Gu Bai listened to it without saying a word, although they did not object, according to their ideas, as long as Gu Qing could eat the meat he made, it would be considered good.

Of course, Gu Qing could guess what her family thought, when she was a teenager, she had never done anything else at home except for occasionally helping Yang Xiuyun do some simple housework, and she rarely entered the kitchen.

As Yang Xiuyun said, she can't even hold a kitchen knife.

Such a person suddenly said that she could make delicious dishes, and she didn't believe it.

Of course, Gu Qing didn't rush to guarantee anything, whether it was delicious or not, wouldn't you know if it was made?

Taking the piece of meat from Yang Xiuyun's hand, Gu Qing didn't care about what Gu Guozhang brought back, so he took Gu Bai to the kitchen.

Why did you pull Gu Bai?

Of course, let him give himself a hand.

Therefore, during the period after that, Gu Bai was either called by Gu Qing to pick a few chili peppers, or took a few cloves of garlic to peel, or washed onions and ginger for Gu Qing, so there was no time to spare.

For a playful kid like Gu Bai, this is really a chore.

But......

When Gu Qing put the meat out of the pot and smelled the pungent aroma in the kitchen, Gu Bai couldn't help but sniff back and forth like a puppy, but he didn't pounce into the iron pot where the Gu family stir-fried vegetables.

"Sister, sister, what are you doing?" Gu Bai snorted the saliva secreted from smelling the fragrance.

Yang Xiuyun is capable, and her cooking skills are not bad, but there are only a few dishes she can cook, and Gu Bai has never smelled such a fragrance before.

What Gu Qing is making now is steamed pork.

A two-pound piece of pork belly was divided into three parts by her, half of which was used to make braised pork, half was used to fry back to the pot meat, and one part was made into tamales.

Back to the pot meat is a common way to eat in their hometown, and braised pork is not unusual, but tamales are not.

Cut the fat and lean meat into slices, mix well with cooking wine, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce and a little pepper, then wrap it in a layer of fine rice flour, stack it on top of a layer of potatoes, and then steam it over high heat......

However, there is no cooking wine at home, and the soy sauce is also made by the supply and marketing store, so there is no old soy sauce, so Gu Qing didn't handle it so carefully.

The Gu family does not have a special steamer, Gu Qing uses the iron pot used by the family to steam the steamed pork, and as soon as the lid of the pot is opened, the pungent fragrance is really tempting.
