Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Nanyang Chapter 49 The Whole Pig Feast 2
As one of the five family heads, Li Huang has some prestige among many businessmen, so he naturally became the first person to move chopsticks.
I saw him pick up a small dish on the side, pick up a piece of crystal clear pig ears, put it in his mouth and chewed it, it was flexible, crisp and strong, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
I picked up the lean meat slices and tasted it, it was sour and delicious, with the spicy taste of radish, there are no words to describe it.
A piece of pork face meat dipped in garlic paste to eat a bite not only makes people appetize, but also leaves a fragrant aftertaste after eating.
"Is this really made of pork?" Li Huang felt a little incredible, he had tasted pork a few times before, and the fishy smell was difficult to eat was the consensus of everyone.
The pork made by Wu Yong today can be regarded as refreshing his cognition, and the pig's head that was not wanted by everyone before made him wonder if the previous people were stupid and wasted.
Because others didn't dare to anger Li Huang, they could only watch him sigh while eating.
Guo Fei relied on the support of the powerful eunuchs in the palace, but he was not afraid of him. Regardless of the surprised eyes of others, he picked up a set of cutlery from the side, picked up a piece of pork face meat, and put it directly in his mouth without dipping it in garlic.
It smells so good! Guo Fei felt that every pore of his body was happy. The pork face meat is smooth, rotten and fragrant, and he has the most appetite, the pig's ears are tough and chewy, and the cold lean meat is also sour and spicy.
The food he ate here was sweet, and some people didn't want to, so they couldn't help but scold loudly: "Guo Fatty, do you still want to be shameless?" You've eaten almost half of all these cold meats! ”
"Hiccup" Guo Fei burped, but he was in a hurry to eat, and he choked a little, and suddenly a strong fragrance sprayed out.
The people around were even more surprised, this pork is too fragrant, and even the burps are fragrant.
Guo Fei glared angrily at the person who shouted, "Xu Bald, the master didn't speak, what is your name, if it weren't for the fragrant chicken tongue, would you be able to taste such fragrant pork?" It's natural for me to eat a few more pieces of meat, but you, the main family, is to reward the help of the neighbors, and you don't have any strength, so you want to eat meat, and you're embarrassed to say me. ”
Xu Bald, surnamed Xu Mingshi, just because he is middle-aged, his hair is thin, especially on his forehead, and his hair does not grow, so people who are hostile to him give him the nickname 'Xu Bald'. Every time someone calls him bald, it makes him unhappy.
This time, Guo Fei called him 'Xu Bald', or because he wanted to eat for nothing, which made his face even more embarrassed, and he wanted to go crazy when he pointed at Guo Fei.
Zhuo Wenxuan was worried that the two would make a fuss, so he hurriedly separated the two, "Those who come today are all guests, and if they can come, they will all give face to the master's family, don't care about this." The big guy doesn't just have to stare at this table of dishes, just now Wu Yong asked people to set a table of different dishes, and I smell it even better. ”
Hearing that there were other foods, Guo Fei's eyes lit up, and he didn't care about Xu Shi anymore, he walked a few steps quickly to the other table, and saw that they were all stir-fried vegetables.
Although he can't name the dish, he knows all the ingredients inside, including leek pork liver, garlic sprout kidney flower, shallots and large intestines, celery shredded meat, slices of pork with chord, radish meat pieces, gourd pork belly, etc., smelling a special fragrance spreading in the air, Guo Fei kept swallowing saliva, and at the same time his stomach began to rumble non-stop.
At the moment, he was not polite, he raised the chopsticks in his hand and was about to clip them, but seeing the strange eyes of others, he learned to be smart. He picked up a large bowl, brought a pair of clean chopsticks, and sandwiched some of each dish, and made a bowl full of them, and then picked up the plates and chopsticks he had used, and said to everyone: "So-and-so is also a person who understands etiquette, I will only eat these, and you will share the rest." ”
The others were not as cheeky as him, and could only smell the fragrance and swallow their saliva. Especially the group of children who gathered around the stove to watch the strangeness, they kept swallowing saliva, drooling, and licking their lips.
Wu Yong saw them like this, smiled and said a few words to Ren Laosi.
I saw Ren Laosi nodded, knocked those backbones into sections along the joints, and then handed them to He Lian, so that she could distribute them to the many children on the spotter.
Children, at first, they were a little scared, but when they saw He Hua and He Cao each pick up a bone and eat it, they couldn't care about anything else, they followed suit, picked up a bone joint, said 'Thank you, sister', and gnawed it.
The smell of incense made them not only gnaw the meat on the bones cleanly, but even the bones without the slightest shreds of flesh, but also licked them over and over again in their hands, reluctant to throw them away.
This is a big deal for the white dog, and it is skewering and jumping in the group of children, and it longs for a kind child to throw the bones in his hand to it to eat.
Wu Yong looked funny, and a little sad, waved Zhuo Tao and Li Miao, and asked the two of them to move a square table over, the two didn't know why, but they still carried one over as instructed.
Next, every time Wu Yong made a dish, he deliberately set aside some and handed it to He Lian, so that she could share it with the children. This also caused He Lian's image to rise sharply in the hearts of the children, and the title of He Lian was even closer than their own sisters.
After Wu Yong made another table of stewed pork skin, stewed pork ribs, meatball soup, and heart-lung soup, he informed Zhuo Wenxuan that he could start the banquet.
After Zhuo Wenxuan received the words, he first divided some of the dishes that came up, and asked Cheng Zhao to send them to the inner courtyard for the women to eat, and then divided some for the five family heads and the rich to eat, and finally the rest of them were distributed to the villagers.
These villagers didn't expect that today they just looked at the faces of the neighbors who came to help the Wu family, but they ate food that they didn't expect in their dreams, they felt that today was really the right time, and they couldn't help but think in their hearts: It seems that if the Wu family has something in the future, even if they encounter something big, they will come to help. Not for anything else, it's just this food, who dares to do this, they just heard that just this spice is worth tens of thousands of dollars.
There are hundreds of families in Fuwang, and today almost one person from every family has come to the Wu family to help, among these people, there are many men in the family, so let the men come to help, and if the family is short of manpower, let women, the elderly or children come to help, they are all neighbors, do what they can, and others will not gossip.
However, today's staple food is still to relieve worries, since Wu Yong was ready to kill the pig, the kitchens of the Wu family and the Zhuo family have been steaming buns non-stop, and now there are eight or nine hundred, if you can eat it on everyone's stomachs, it is almost enough to eat.
But there is only one pig, Ren Laosan estimated at the time that this pig is only two hundred catties at most, and it is good to remove the bones and internal organs, and it can produce one hundred and forty catties of meat, not to mention that Wu Yong has set aside a pig thigh to prepare for ham, and he has to send some to Taishou, this meat is definitely not enough.
Zhuo Wenxuan made a rough estimate, muttered to Zhu Lidian for a while, and then said: "I'm really sorry today, the main family really didn't expect so many villagers to come to help, the preparation is a little insufficient, today's worry relief bun is enough, everyone is open to eat, but this pork is a little insufficient, each person can only share one bowl, and I hope you will forgive me." ”
The eyes of the masses are bright, this pig from killing, to cooking, are all under everyone's noses, who has not counted in their hearts, but when the five surnamed family owners and a group of rich people arrived, they heard that tens of thousands of spices were to be put in pork, their hearts have long been out of much luxury, can drink soup, they are satisfied, and now they hear that they can eat a bowl of meat, it is really overjoyed.
For this long-awaited delicacy, everyone consciously took the dishes and chopsticks, lined up, stretched their necks, and waited for Zhuo Wenxuan, Zhu Lidian, and the head of the Li family to share the food.
The table where Zhuo Wenxuan ate was cold meat, including pig's head, pig's ears, cold lean meat slices, and some pork bones and pig's feet that Wu Yongrang knocked later. The main people gathered at this table are young people with good teeth, who like chewy food.
The table where Zhu Lidian eats is stir-fried vegetables, including leek pork liver, garlic sprouts, celery and shredded meat, etc., and the main people gathered at this table are middle-aged people, and the taste and appearance of the food are their first choice.
The table where the head of the Li family eats is soup, including stewed pork skin, stewed pork ribs, meatball soup, heart and lung soup, etc., and the main people gathered at this table are the elderly, who are very fond of soft and rotten food.
The scene of sharing food, they have encountered many times, they are familiar neighbors, there is no need to fight, everyone takes what they need, and it is orderly.
If you choose your favorite food, you will take two relief buns and find a bench with a spare seat to sit down.
When the bench is full, I just find a stake, squat or sit, and huddle together in groups of three or five, enjoying the food in the bowl while sharing my feelings.
"Well, it's delicious, fat but not greasy, and there is a special fragrance, I really didn't expect pork to be so delicious."
"This stir-fry is really refreshing, not only fragrant, but also a kind of numb feeling, after eating, it makes people have a great appetite, and they want to eat it again, pork can be made like this, it is really amazing."
"Hey, this pork is really not tired of eating, if you can eat such a delicacy every day, and live a few years less, I am willing."
"Shhhh Li family boy, don't dream, do you know that just this cooking condiment is hard to find, you can eat it today, I don't know how many years of cultivation is a blessing, and you can eat it every day after dreaming. ”
"Well, you keep saying that, the kid will drink some soup in a while!"
When someone heard this, he suddenly thought of something, slapped his thigh, and shouted: "I saw Wu Xian's nephew wrapping those spices in gauze, I don't know if I can use them again?" If you can use it, let's ask for it and kill a pig to cook it one day!" ”
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they were anxious, and they ate the pork in the bowl in three or two bites, put the empty bowl and chopsticks on the ground, and ran to Wu Yong's side.
When the others saw it, they couldn't let this kid take advantage of it, and they all learned from him, threw away the dishes and chopsticks, and ran to Wu Yong to ask about the condiments.
Wu Yong looked at the people who suddenly ran in front of him, and was a little confused at first, this condiment was thrown away after being used once in the future life, and he didn't know when he would cook the meat next time, and he didn't want to keep these used condiments.
Soon he reacted, although the amount of this bag of condiments is not much, but when converted, it is worth a thousand dollars, which is quite a fortune.
Wu Yong hesitated, but still said: "This condiment can also be used again, but the taste is a little worse." If anyone needs it, just take it. ”
