Li had just thrown away the pig's head, and in a state of shock, she suddenly felt a long object fall on her shoulder, and her head was also hit by something soft, and fell into her arms. Immediately, a stench, similar to the smell of cleaning the pigsty, reached her nostrils.

Seeing the things in her arms clearly, she seemed to be burned her feet, jumped high, and screamed like a pig, shocking her Fang clan who kept persuading her, her ears roared, and she retreated again and again.

"Damn it, damn it!! I'm your aunt, and you're hitting me with all this dirty! Do you still have the dignity of the young and the old in your eyes? If you can do this to me, you can do this to your grandma next time!! I want the whole village to know how the Liu family teaches children!! ”

Li Shi looked down at the soiled clothes, and there was a burst of pig smell on his body, and he was sick to his stomach, and he almost fainted.

Xiaocao looked at her with a smile and said, "Auntie, why don't I respect you anymore?" You said you wanted to see what was in our basket, but I was afraid that you would have bad eyes when you were old, so I specially 'sent' it to you so that you could take a good look - now that you have seen it, will you still say that grandpa subsidized us? ”

Before Li answered, Xiaocao raised his voice again and said, "Big aunt! You're right about one thing, our family really can't open the pot! Today, I took my brother to the pier to see if I could pick up some vegetable leaves that others don't want, or other things that can be eaten.

Uncle Wang, who sold meat, saw that we were pitiful and gave us a pig's head. These pork belly and pig intestines were picked up by me and Xiaoshi, and we can see if they can be eaten after washing. As long as you can't die after eating, it's better to stink than to starve to death, right?

That's all for our family? The eldest aunt also said that grandpa subsidized us? Are you trying to kill our family? Did our family all starve to death and freeze to death, so we took advantage of your wishes? ”

Mao's got a few buns from Xiaocao last time, and he had a good impression of Xiaocao's family. She said on the side:

"My sister-in-law forced my brother and sister to die, this is really the first case in our Dongshan Village! Lee, if that's the case, you'll be famous! Tut-tut...... Look, how hungry the children are, picking up such dirty and smelly things and eating them! ”

Li's face changed, her son was going to kiss in less than two years, if she heard that she forced her brother's family to death, who would dare to marry her daughter.

She moved her mouth, just about to say something. Fang, who was originally kind of persuasion, glared at her a few times as if he was looking at an enemy, hugged the little stone in his arms in distress, wiped his tears and said, "Poor child, those things can't be eaten, throw them away quickly." If you really can't open the pot, my aunt will lend you a few catties of grain. ”

Yu Hai's nose was sour, and complicated tastes welled up in his heart. He raised his head, let the tears in his eyes slowly dissipate, glanced at Li, and said:

"Sister-in-law, I can swear to God, I never reached out to my father and mother to ask for money, and my father never secretly subsidized us! When I split up the family, I said that no matter how poor and difficult it is, even if you go out to beg for food, you won't ask your family for a child! You've seen the contents of the basket, so please come back if you're okay!! ”

Li made a fuss, shook off the handkerchief in his hand, and slipped back to settle accounts with his second stunned daughter-in-law.

There were no secrets at all in the small fishing village, and it didn't take long for the news that Yu Hai's family was so hungry that they even picked up something that smelled like pig dung and ate it home, and it spread in Dongshan Village.

Yu Hai's uncle, Yu Lichun, was angry with the Yu family, and scolded the old Yu Tou: "This mother is a stepmother, is your father also fake?" The sea is also your blood and bones, do you want the lives of their whole family? If that's the case, I don't dare to recognize you as a brother again!! ”

The old man had a gloomy face, and immediately called the Li family over and scolded him, and asked the youngest daughter to bring ten catties of millet noodles and ten catties of potato flour to the second child's family.

Yu Hai naturally didn't accept it, he had already said a penny if he didn't touch his family, and he didn't reach a desperate situation, he wouldn't let people have a chance to speak. Even if Lao Yutou went to visit in person, he still didn't mean to let go.

Let's say that after Yu Xiaocao used a pig's head and a stinky large intestine to scare Li away, he immediately began to pack up the things he brought back and prepare to make braised vegetables.

"Uh...... Xiaocao, are you sure this thing is edible? Don't waste time and seasoning! The rest of the Xiaocao family had long been surprised by her transformation of decay into magical craftsmanship, but the Fang clan enthusiastically reminded her.

Mao even brought the wild vegetables he dug up today from his house, and a scoop of sweet potato powder, and said, "Don't get those things, listen to my aunt, throw them away quickly?" In the future, if you don't have anything to eat, you can go to my house to borrow it, and when the sweet potatoes come down, you can return them to us! Who can not have a difficult time? Thrown, thrown! ”

Saying that, Mao was very enthusiastic and snatched the pork belly from Xiaocao's hand and was about to throw it out of the house.

Xiaocao sweats profusely! This is a way to make money that she finally thought of, if she throws it away, where will she conjure up the penny of meat and vegetables promised tomorrow?

Yu Hai saw that the second daughter was so anxious that she scratched her ears and cheeks, and hurriedly limped forward, took the pork belly in Mao's hand, and said with a smile: "Her aunt, our family has not yet reached the time when we can't open the pot." Thank you for your kindness, this pork belly grass is useful, it is a home remedy that I heard from others, and it can cure my leg ......"

Mao glanced at his leg and suddenly said, "Oh! It turned out to be used to treat legs...... No wonder, if you can really heal your leg, no matter how stinky it is, you have to endure it! Okay, I'll take the potato flour back, and you can keep the wild vegetables for the soup at night - Xiaocao, if you dig wild vegetables tomorrow, come to me with me, I know that there are many such shepherd's cabbages in one place! ”

Xiaocao agreed and sent the cold-hearted Mao away, but Fang stayed: "Xiaocao, your mother is not here, how to clean up these things, I'll help you!" ”

Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Xiaocao washed out the contents of the pig's intestines, cut them into sections, turned them over, and asked her to rub them vigorously with coarse salt and clean up the fat on the intestinal lining. Fang's was not too dirty, he rolled up his sleeves and got busy.

Yu Xiaocao taught Xiaolian how to deal with pork belly, and focused on getting the pig's head by herself. The pig's head should be soaked in water for an hour, the dirt and residual hair on the surface should be cleaned, boiled in a pot of boiling water for about a quarter of an hour, and the remaining pig hair should be checked again, and the surface should be vigorously brushed clean with a brush.

The work of scrubbing the pig's head, Yu Hai volunteered to undertake it. Before his leg was injured, the people in the village would ask him to help when killing pigs, on the one hand, he had great strength, on the other hand, he learned some skills in killing pigs without a teacher, and he was very good at dealing with pig hair. Yu Xiaocao saw that he was no worse than herself, so she handed it over to him with confidence.

After the pig's head is cleaned, the work of splitting and taking out the pig's brain is naturally Yu Hai's. Xiaocao instructed him to cut off ear rings, eye corners, lymph nodes, nasal polyps and other debris, take out the brain, put it in a bowl, and prepare it to stew for the whole family in the evening!

Yu Hai skillfully removed the bones on the pig's head, divided them into five or six pieces, put them in clean water, scraped and washed them repeatedly, removed all the debris and blood stains, and prevented the pig's head meat from smelling peculiar.

Then Xiaocao took over, put the cleaned pig's head into boiling water again and blanched it for about 20 minutes, and took it out and cleaned it. Then put the blanched and washed pork head meat in a pot of clean water and boil it together with the removed skull, skim off the foam, and cook until it is five ripe. Then put it into the marinade made yesterday and start to simmer until the pork head meat is crispy, and the pork head meat is still in the marinade to make it more flavorful.

As the pork head meat slowly stewed, the rich aroma of the meat gradually wafted from the courtyard. Even the Qian family, which is two hundred meters away, is shrouded in the fragrance of braised pig's head. Qian Wu, who was brushing a stick in the yard, sniffed hard, swallowed his saliva, and said, "It's so fragrant!" Mother, do you smell it? It's not a year, who is stewing meat at this time? ”

The Mao family also smelled it, thinking about the two or three families around, except for Zhao Orion at the foot of the mountain, who has good hunting skills and can often eat meat, it is the Fang family who doesn't deal with her much. Could it be that a guest from her house killed a chicken to entertain him? Isn't that right? Doesn't it smell like chicken? As for Xiaocao's family, she skipped it directly, so poor that she couldn't even eat enough, how could she have spare money to buy meat to eat?

"Gluttonous cat! Wait for your eldest brother to come back next time, and my mother will buy meat stew for you to eat! Where are you going? Be honest with me, don't embarrass my mother and go to Zhou's house! "Zhao Lihu's house is far away, and it is estimated that it is difficult for the fragrance to waft over, so the smell of meat can only come from that house.

In fact, there is no major contradiction between the Mao family and the Zhou family. It is a family that raises ducks and chickens, and the ducks and duck eggs of the Qian family do not sell well as the Zhou family, plus the men of the Zhou family run the goods in their spare time and make a lot of money, and the Mao family is a little psychologically unbalanced. Her mouth is not very good, and after a few times, the relationship between the two families became estranged.

Qian Wu threw away the stick in his hand, rushed out of the house, and said, "I won't go to Brother Shaohua's house, I'll go find a small stone to play!" ”

When Qian Wu arrived at the door of Xiaocao's house, he found that the smell of meat was stronger. Even during the Chinese New Year, his mother made braised pork, but it did not have such a mouthwatering fragrance. He sniffed hard and stepped into the door of the Yu family.

"Little stone, do you smell it? It smells so good!! As soon as Qian Wu entered the door, he yelled open.

Xiao Shi ran out of the kitchen and said with a smile: "Brother Xiaowu, your nose is quite long!" As soon as the pork head meat is marinated, you come running. Come, come, come! Let the second sister cut a piece of hot braised pork head meat to satisfy your cravings! ”

"Wow! It turns out that the smell of meat wafted out of your house!! What is a good day today, how can your family be willing to get meat to eat? The harazi in Qian Wu's mouth almost dripped onto the placket on his chest, and he wiped it with the back of his hand, but his footsteps did not move.
