Chapter Ninety-Four: A Delicious Pig's Head
Everyone in the north room was drinking tea and gossiping, as soon as they saw Rui Xue come in, they all turned around, nodded and said hello, Rui Xue remembered to go back to the village earlier, and did not sit down, and said to everyone with a smile, "Today, February 2, is a small festival in my hometown, according to the custom is to eat pig's head meat, I just cooked two pig's heads on the stove, the brothers who have nothing to do at home should not rush back, at lunchtime, let Zhang's sister-in-law open two jars of baogu wine, everyone left a lively and lively." ”
There is meat and wine, which man will not like it, this is a great joy, Beiwu immediately boiled, there is the one who likes to laugh on weekdays, and shouted, "Three masters, it would be good if your hometown celebrated the festival every day." ”
Everyone laughed, and the people sitting next to him also pushed him, frolicking.
Xu Kuan smiled, "Sister, you invite your brothers to eat and drink from time to time, and the brothers don't want to go, you must open your mouth if you have any work at home!" ”
"Big brother said it well, a few days ago, thanks to you who came to protect me, Eleven and several of their brothers also helped me pick a good horse to come back, this is not all brotherly friendship. It's just rough food, and the brothers don't have to take it seriously. ”
Ma Lao Liu also said, "Eleven, that kid is preparing to get married at home, if you know that you didn't come today and missed such a bustle, I'm afraid you don't know how to regret it." ”
"Getting married is a big deal, but you have to be prepared. The carriage at home is placed in the yard on weekdays, and the day before the eleventh marriage, he called Shanzi to rush over, but don't miss the kiss. ”
Ma Lao Liu clasped his fists and smiled, "I thanked my sister for that kid Eleven." ”
Everyone chatted a few more words, Rui Xue opened the door and went out, Sister-in-law Zhang was adding firewood to the stove, and when she came out, she smiled and said, "At home, Cui Niang is not here, who will help you cook the pig's head?" ”
"It's all packed up, I'll just add my own firewood and cook it. Sister-in-law, open two more jars of baogu wine for the brothers at noon, close the door early in the afternoon, and set up two tables at home in the evening, remember to divide some pig's head meat for the bolts and stones, and let them go home for one night. ”
When the bolt and the stone heard this, they immediately came forward with a smile and asked, "Master, when are you going back to the shop?" ”
Rui Xue thought that Zhao Fengnian's body was almost recovered, so she said, "I'll come back in two days, you review the homework you have taught before, I will test you then, if you regress, be careful to beat your hand." ”
The bolt and the stone immediately turned pale, and said respectfully, "Yes, master." ”
Ruixue was amused, and drove them to work, so she filled the pig's head and pig's trotters in a large clay pot, and carried them back to the village.
Zhao Fengnian was flipping through the account book, and when he heard movement in the yard, he pushed the door out, and when he saw the pig's head staring at the big basin, he was obviously stunned.
Rui Xue saw that he was frightened, and smiled very happily, "Shopkeeper, let's cook pig's head and pig's trotters to eat today." ”
Zhao Fengnian wrinkled his brows, he really didn't think that the pig's head was anything delicious, but he didn't want to disappoint Ruixue, so he had to nod.
Wu Yu circled around the clay pot twice, picked up two hooves and fought with Da Zhuang, had a lot of fun, and was rewarded by Rui Xue with a violent chestnut, and then drove them to replace the small stove in Fangxi with a big pot, and as soon as the lunch was finished, he added water and began to cook the pig's head.
At the dock, at this time, Sister-in-law Zhang had already opened the pot, and the aroma that came to her nose provoked her to take a long breath, and then she looked at the plug and the stone and swallowed her saliva even more, and the door of the north house was also shaking slightly, obviously someone was lying there behind to smell the fragrance, she grinned and shouted loudly, "Plug, stone, put on the dishes and chopsticks, open the meal!" ”
As soon as the words fell, two or three younger students ran out of the north room, and said one after another, "We're here to help, too." As he spoke, he smiled and lifted the clay pot with dishes and chopsticks and walked into the house, and the pig's head that swept to the cauldron was frighteningly bright.
There is not much work at the dock these days, many brothers are busy with some small work at home, they did not come, there are only about 60 people in the north room, four kang tables are put together into two, and another table is placed on the ground, and everyone just sits down.
Sister-in-law Zhang used four clay pots, each containing half of the pig's head, leaving one pot for the plug and stone, and then added six pieces of tofu and one cabbage to the soup pot, boiled over a high fire, and also served it in a clay pot, and served them all.
The north room was immediately filled with a hot aroma, the mud seal of the wine jar was slapped open, and everyone got a pottery bowl of grain wine, and before they could drink it in their mouths, they felt that they had been impressed by the aroma of meat and wine.
Xu Kuantou raised the wine bowl, "Today's wine and food are all the kindness of the three masters to the brothers, the brothers know it in their hearts, I won't say much, come, everything is smooth and business is prosperous." ”
Everyone responded and took a big sip, and then Xu Kuan said, "Eat them all." ”
Everyone immediately grabbed the chopsticks and ran to the pig's head in the clay pot, the pig's head was boiled for a full hour and a half, the skin and meat were very ripe, and the chopsticks were trembling, and the mouth seemed to melt immediately, and then drank a mouthful of soup, it was really rare and delicious in the world, and everyone was satisfied with eating...
When the sun set on the west mountain, Ruixue's pig's head was also out of the pot, and the Heizi brothers and sisters, Da Zhuang brothers and sisters, and Wu Yu, who were picked up early, all used the excuse of helping to light the fire, and crowded in the shed and refused to leave, in fact, they were all greedy for the pig's head in the pot, because the smell was so fragrant, as if there was a small hand in the mist that came out of the pot, dragging them to stay here and not move their legs.
Rui Xue was very funny, she pricked the pot with chopsticks, and felt that it was still ripe, so she first clamped two pieces of pig tongue down, tore them apart, and stuffed them into the mouths of several children behind her one by one.
took a large pottery bowl, cut a small half of the pig's head meat, added soup, and connected two pieces of tofu, and asked Da Zhuang to run errands and send it to Aunt Yun'er's house, while Heizi went to the south of the village to invite Qian Heitan and his wife to come over.
It is said that in the second aunt Yun's house, the third master of Yun is taking his eldest son to drink tea in the hall, and two of the three sentences are scolding the Zhao family, what ungrateful, what no one in his eyes, second uncle Yun and second aunt Yun are a little impatient.
Second Uncle Yun is the second oldest among all the brothers in his family, and he is a close cousin of Third Master Yun, he is an honest man, honest and responsible, and never delusional about other people's things.
Yun Sanye is over sixty years old, and he has become a clan elder again, and the villagers all respect the third master, and Yun Ershu is also very respectful on weekdays. But he really didn't like what the third uncle had done recently, and he even felt a little unable to raise his head when he walked in the village.
After all, their family gets along well with the Zhao family, and Mrs. Zhao is kind-hearted, knowing that Lei Zi's daughter-in-law is pregnant, she often sends good food over, and raises her daughter-in-law with a very good face, and she will definitely be able to give him a big fat grandson in two months. Xiaoer Shanzi works on the dock, and he eats in other people's shops, and is taken care of by others, this friendship, their family has not reciprocated anything, and they were slapped heavily by the third uncle, fortunately, the Zhao family is reasonable, and they are still the same as before, but their family is uncomfortable.
As a result, the third uncle came to the door today to say these words, Yun Lao Er couldn't help it, put down the tea bowl and said, "Third uncle, you didn't do a good job in that incident a few days ago, how can you fall into the well when others are in trouble?" The Zhao family is not a grudge family, you will live a good old age when you are old, and don't provoke others anymore. ”
It is said that honest people don't speak easily, and they can choke people to death when they open their mouths, Yun Sanye thought that Yun Lao Er was also his own family, and he could say a few words to himself for the sake of face, but the result was good, and he directly gave him a name that fell into the well.
He was blocked with an old face flushed, and said with a stiff neck, "Second nephew, what you said is not right, I also thought about taking over the shop for the good of the villagers, otherwise it will be taken away by the government, and no one will be cheap." How do you know that the surname Zhao has a hard life, and he has come back to life, and the shrew is also hiding it tightly, just waiting for us to come to the door, this mind is really vicious. ”
"Third uncle, your family Yunqiang has long been shouting in the village to be the shopkeeper at the dock, and now you say that it is for everyone, this doesn't make sense."
Yun Sanye glared at his weak-hearted eldest son fiercely, and said angrily, "You are not a filial son, I don't see you contributing to your work, but you are good at gossiping everywhere, when did I say that I wanted you to be the shopkeeper?" ”
Yun Qiang is also about forty years old, and he was reprimanded by his father in front of his second brother's family, his face was a little unbearable, and he wanted to argue back, but he was glared at by his father again, so he lowered his head angrily.
Aunt Yun stepped forward to add tea, and she had to persuade them a few words, so that they would not embarrass the Zhao family in the future.
As a result, I heard someone shouting outside the courtyard gate, and when I opened the door, I saw that it was Da Zhuang who came in with a basket, and when I saw her, I smiled and said, "Second grandma, my sister cooked a pig's head today, and asked me to bring a bowl and two pieces of tofu." Shi Niang said that the pig ears were given to Aunt Lei to eat two more bites, and the little brother who was born in the future had good ears. ”
Aunt Yun was worried about what kind of food to eat at night, and the Zhao family had good food to send her, and it was also good for her unborn eldest grandson, how could this not make her happy, so she smiled and said, "Oh, your master is too polite, and you can't leave our family with something good." ”
Saying that, she led this Da Zhuang into the house, and then went to the stove to get the dishes and plates and changed them, and Da Zhuang gave the third master of Yun and the second uncle of Yun a salute.
Yun Sanye hated Rui Xue and his wife, the Zhang family and the Zhao family were friendly, so he naturally didn't want to see him, he just snorted in his nose, but Second Uncle Yun smiled and pulled Da Zhuang to him, and said, "Go back and tell your Mr. Zhao and Shi Niang, this season is not yet the time to farm, the family is idle, if they have anything to help at home, let someone say it." ”
"Second Grandpa Xie, I'll tell my sister when I go back." Da Zhuang nodded obediently.
Aunt Yun picked up the large piece of pig's head meat into the big sea bowl, remembering that her youngest son came back full of wine in the middle of the afternoon, and rushed into the house to sleep, and now she hasn't gotten up yet, so she asked, "In the shop on the dock, did you eat this pig's head meat today?" ”
"Yes, second grandmother, my sister bought three pig heads, and two of them were left at the dock, and your uncle Shanzi also helped pick up the pig's trotters."
Aunt Yun went to pour the tofu again, and said with a smile, "This let others know, but if you want to say that our family is greedy, my son eats it, and Lao Tzu eats it again." ”
Da Zhuang stretched out his hand to help put the dishes in the basket, and said with a smile, "Second grandma, I'll go back first, and the family is still waiting for dinner." ”
"Go ahead, if your father and mother are busy, send your brother and sister here to play."
Second Uncle Yun also said, "It's dark, look at the road, don't knock it." ”
Da Zhuang saluted again, and then went out with the basket.
(Haha, when I got married last year, my mother-in-law's house was in the countryside, and there was only half of the big pig's head at the banquet, which was cooked in a large pot of earthen stoves, which was so fragrant and drooling!) )
