Chapter 198: Killing Pig Vegetables
"How can there be Miss Lao Xu, you are approaching the end of the year, you are a busy person, the fifth master has already explained, so you don't have to worry about it. Please search (book lover) to see the most complete! The fastest update"
"Steward Qin is polite, how can I have that identity to make the fifth master so worried." Xu Miao said modestly and made a "please" gesture.
After the three of them entered the courtyard, Qin Zhong took out a gift slip from his cuffs, handed it to Xu Miao with both hands, and said:
"Miss Xu, please take a look, this is sent by the fifth master and Uncle Ouyang, and the second master means that the eighth master and Miss Ouyang are here with you, so you have to worry about it. On the twenty-second day of the lunar month, the little one will come over again and pick up the eighth master and the young lady to leave. ”
Xu Miao didn't open the gift list, but looking at the things on the ground, she knew that this was definitely not a bargain. looked at Ouyang Zi Kite and Xiao Ba again, nodded, and said:
"Then there's Lao Tan in charge."
"Miss Xu is polite." After Qin Zhong finished speaking, he saluted and led people away.
The courtyard, which was still lively just now, was quiet again, Xu Liang looked at the things on the ground, and then looked at the two well-dressed people, and he was a little worried in his heart. Chunsheng will look at the situation, and take Chunzhu, Li Tie and others to help carry the box into the house, Xu Liang walked to Xu Miao's side and said:
"Miao'er, this ......"
"Second uncle, don't worry, I can handle it." As he spoke, he gave Xu Liang a "you can rest assured" look, and the latter nodded in understanding and helped carry the box.
Ouyang Zi Kite came over and said with a little shame:
"Sister Xu Miao, am I causing you trouble?"
"Nope." Shaking his head and laughing, in fact, Xu Miao really didn't expect that this Ouyang Zi Kite would run away from home, and the place she went to was actually her own place, if it was just her, it would be fine, and she actually brought Qin Xiaoba with her.
Ouyang Minrui She is really not afraid, after all, that person is not bad to herself, but Qin Wuye is different, to be honest, she Xu Miao is really a little afraid of that Hou Ye, Qin Xiaoba is his favorite younger brother, the next time I see Wuye, I don't know how I will be ridiculed.
opened the gift list, there was a letter inside, opened the letter, it was written by Ouyang Minrui, a bunch of polite words, in fact, the main meaning is to let Xu Miao convey it on his behalf, he will not send Ouyang Ziyuan into the palace, nor will he let her go to the fourth prince to be a side concubine, and said that he has come back and will accompany her to spend the New Year in Fucheng.
After reading it, Xu Miao handed the letter to Ouyang Ziyuan, and continued to read the gift list. There are a lot of gifts, which are basically what can be used for the New Year:
Two pairs of red lanterns, several red candles, four couplets, six river fish, and tea leaves......
Lin Lin has a lot of things, but it is enough to buy New Year's goods, Xu Miao put away the gift list, looked at the sobbing Ouyang Zi Kite, and said:
"It's been fun here for the past two days, my sister's family killed the New Year's pig today, let you eat an authentic pig-killing dish with Xiaoba at noon, and after you finish your heart, go home and obediently accompany Brother Ouyang for the New Year, ah!"
"Hmm!" Ouyang Ziyuan cried and nodded, that look was really pitiful, Xu Miao helped her wipe her tears distressedly, and said:
"Okay, don't cry, it's windy in the countryside, and I'll cry again."
……
Near noon, the pig's head was cooked, Qin Xiaoba and Ouyang Ziyuan saw this for the first time, and they stretched their necks more curiously than anyone else, San Lang dragged Qin Xiaoba, for fear that he would be excited and burn in front.
Xu Miao took out eight pig's trotters and put them aside, two pig's heads, deboned and taken from the meat, two big pig's heads, and as a result, my sister came out with eleven catties of pig's head meat, no wonder in modern times, this thing is quite expensive, so it doesn't count, it really has to be more expensive.
Set aside two stoves, Xiao Wu sensibly began to brush the pot, and Xu Miao put the eliminated bones aside. Uncle Chunzhu has a dog at home, and he will ask him to bring this bone back to feed the dog in a while.
Qin Xiaoba approached Xu Miao upside down, sniffed, and said, "Sister Miao, ah-"
The appearance of opening his small mouth amused Xu Miao, and he got a lot of lean meat and stuffed it into the corner of his mouth, and the little guy shook his head while eating, and kept saying that it was delicious. Although Xu Miao didn't taste it, she knew that it must be good when she smelled it.
Two strips were put aside, two pieces of white pigs, Xu Miao cut them into four pieces with a knife, put them in a bowl, and said:
"San Lang, these four pigs, the four of you will eat separately."
San Lang took the bowl, first let Qin Xiaoba take it, then Ouyang Zi Kite, and finally the two of them, Xu Miao looked at his younger brother's sensible appearance, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Pig Qiao, also known as Qiao tongue, is the upper jaw of the pig's mouth. When cooked, it's white and soft and chewy, and a pig is just a small piece.
Xu Miao knew that this thing was delicious, and she had never bought it in her previous life, she had been here for a year and a half, and when she was cooking pig's head in the old mansion last year, the clever tongue was eaten by Xu Bing, and she still wanted to eat it.
I was savoring it, my mouth was hot, and when I looked down, it was Xiaoba holding up the half-eaten tongue, and said with a smile:
"Sister Miao also eats."
Xu Miao was not polite, opened her mouth and ate the piece of skillful tongue into her mouth. Xiao Wu also raised a piece at this time, Xu Miao squatted down, patted his cheek, and said:
"Little five, leave this piece for your sister to eat."
Looking at San Lang and Ouyang Zi Kite again, neither of them ate that clever tongue, Xu Miao laughed "poof", shook his head, and said:
"Eat it, there's nothing to be reluctant to." After saying that, he walked over, took their hands, and put what they held into their mouths.
The two cauldrons have been washed, Xu Miao uses one pot to stew pure rice and rice, put oil in the other pot, wait for the oil to be hot, add chopped green onions, ginger slices, ingredients, and peppercorns to stir-fry until fragrant, and then put soy sauce in the pot.
Then throw the pork backbone, stick bones, pork, and pig tail into it one by one, stir-fry, fry the oil and fragrance, and then pour the shredded sauerkraut that has just been cut into it and continue to stir-fry. Add water at the end. Close the lid of the pot.
After the stove is boiled with a strong fire and steam, that is, after the pot is boiled, the lid of the pot is opened, the pot is put in, and then the stirred, oiled and seasoned pig's blood is put in a basin, placed on the support, re-covered the pot, and then burns the fire.
After this set was all done, Xu Miao looked at the four people watching the excitement with a sigh of relief, and said with a smile:
"Wait to eat meat, San Lang, you go and see if Ya'er has come back, and by the way, bring back the second aunt, Aunt Li and Sister-in-law Li Tie, and let them eat at home."
"yes, got it." San Lang nodded to leave, and Qin Xiaoba was like a little tail, and he also went out after San Lang's buttocks. Xiao Wu took Ouyang Zikite and went to the tofu workshop to see how tofu was made.
Xu Miao came to the house and looked at the boxes stacked on the ground, this box is very elegant, the surface of the box is very smooth, and the lines are all hand-cut out......
Open the box one by one, the contents are full, the river fish is really big enough, pick up one in your hand, it is estimated that there are ten catties, and six is sixty catties; also sent four brocades, two of which were actually Shu brocade, this thing is in Fucheng, Dongmei once introduced it to herself, but she didn't expect Hou Ye to be so big.
The two pairs of red lanterns can be used for the New Year, looking at the length, you can know that it is quite big, and a few couplets were not written by Qin Wuye and Ouyang Minrui, but the words are vigorous and powerful, and they are very eye-catching.
There are also a few skins, all of which are fine ferrets; The tea should also be this year's new tea, it smells very fragrant, and there are some rouge gouaches, so I don't know who prepared it.
At the end of the gift list, it was Qin Wuye who wrote a line of words, which meant that these things were the expenses of the two of them in the past two days. To be honest, there are really a lot, and Xu Miao is worried about returning the gift.
There was a chatting sound in the yard, Xu Ya and they got off work, Xu Miao hurriedly covered the box, stacked it neatly, and stacked it. Tidy up the clothes on his body, turned around and went out, and when he stood at the door, he saw Shan pulling Ouyang Zi Kite, and praised him vigorously, making Ouyang Zi Kite's pretty face red.
Xu Miao smiled and hurriedly walked over to rescue, pointed at Shan's, and said:
"Purple kite, this is my second uncle, that one is Aunt Li, next to her is her daughter-in-law, you can call her sister-in-law."
When Ouyang Ziyuan heard this, he stood up in a proper manner, and walked sideways in a well-behaved manner. This action surprised Xu Miao, after all, she was a young lady, even if she could greet these people politely, she didn't expect it to be ......
Shan is the lady in the end, looking at such a regular salute, knowing that this girl is not an ordinary person, she quickly stretched out her hand to hold her, and said with a smile:
"Let's be here, don't do this, let's go, go into the house and eat pig-killing vegetables, the girl will come for the first time, you Sister Xu Miao cook, it's delicious."
A few people entered the house with a smile, Xu Ya pulled Xu Miao, and whispered: "Sister, today Qin Zhong steward asked us about the progress of the shipment, and I answered truthfully." ”
"Hmm." Xu Miao nodded, counting as knowing.
It's good to kill the pig, but today it was Quandong who came to get the food, and Xu Miao loaded them with some pig's head meat and two pig's trotters. As for the old rules at home, there are two tables, one in the south room and one table in the sisters' house.
It's all a pot, full of pig-killing vegetables, with a lot of meat and plenty of meat. Blood tofu is also a pot, and on the shiny blood tofu, there are sporadic green onions, which is quite beautiful. The pig's head meat was cut into two plates, the pig's trotters were broken and plated, and there was a plate of spicy cabbage on the table, which was for everyone to relieve their greasy.
Shan Shi looked at the food on the table, and looked at Aunt Li and the others, it was already very good to kill pigs with such a large amount of vegetables, and they actually ate white rice and dry rice, which did not exist in the countryside at all.
Qin Xiaoba didn't go to the table in the south house, but stuck to Xu Miao and sat beside her. Everyone was not polite, and ate openly, even so, they didn't finish eating, there was a lot left, Xu Miao was even more generous, and used a big bowl full of top-notch pig-killing vegetables to send them back.
What Chunzhu's family, Li Langzhong's, Lizheng's family, there are a lot of them, and they are all sent. When Li Langzhong was leaving, he joked that this is called walking around without eating.
Seeing off the guests, Qin Xiaoba lay on the kang and didn't want to move, and kept saying:
"Sister Miao, if I don't go back to Fucheng, I'll stay at your house, okay?"
