Chapter 30: Buying a Pig's Head
"Your father doesn't know this, it's a doctor's unique secret recipe, how do I know? How? We also want to drink with our father? Xiang San quipped.
"No! The wine is spicy and doesn't smell good, so I won't drink it! Xiang Tiange wrinkled his nose and shook his head.
“......”
The dream of wanting his daughter to drink with him in the future was shattered, and he flattened his mouth slightly to the third child, where the wine smelled bad, how fragrant!
It's a pity that you can only make such a pot to drink at home during the big festival or the New Year.
The women of the old Xiang family will also accompany them to drink a small sip, they know that drinking less wine can dissipate the cold, invigorate the blood and veins, before Jiang gave birth to Xiang Laosan after the riverside laundry accidentally fell into the river, after seeing the doctor, I knew that drinking less wine is also good for the body, but they don't drink too much, so they will drink less during the festival, to get rid of the cold in the body.
That's why Xiang Laosan thought that his daughter might be able to drink some wine with him in the future.
"Drink and drink, and it's not for the New Year's holiday, so you want to drink? Aren't you going to buy big meat for your daughter? Let's go! Wang glared at the third child and warned.
"......" Xiang Laosan, who was warned by his daughter-in-law, stretched out his empty hand and touched his head, and then hugged Xiang Tiange tightly and said, "Let's go, Yaya, Daddy will buy you a lot of meat to eat!" ”
A few people were at the back door of the Li Mansion, although they didn't block the street, but after staying here for a long time, it was not good, so a few people picked up their things and walked quickly to the vegetable market on the other side of East Street.
Funing County has a total of four streets, east, west, north and south, and several streets are just in the middle of the entire county seat.
The street that enters the city gate is North Street, which is basically lined with some shops and inns and restaurants, and North Street is not allowed to set up stalls.
The stalls can generally be placed on the other three streets, South Street, where the lives are basically rich and noble, of course, the other streets are also inhabited by rich and noble families, but the East Street is less, and the East Street is basically lived by ordinary people.
Because there is a vegetable market on East Street, the rich and noble families feel that the vegetable market is close to their residences, so the rich people are basically reluctant to live in the vegetable market.
After Xiang Tiange and the others left, two heads appeared on the wall in the corner of the back door of the Li Mansion.
"Miss, let's go back, if you let Madame know that you are going to leave the house, you have to skin me!" A little maid persuaded the young lady in front of her with an anxious face.
"Haven't I been out of the house yet?" Li Youling pursed her mouth in displeasure, "I see, just like the little girl said just now, building such a high wall is locking me here!" It's like going to jail, not free at all! ”
The little maid on the side was so frightened that she climbed down the ladder directly, knelt on the ground, and begged: "Miss, you can't say this!" I'm begging you, come down quickly, if Mrs. finds out, Xiao Tao will be miserable..."
Li Youling glanced down at her unproductive maid and climbed down the ladder, "Go back." ”
Seeing this, Xiao Tao hurriedly got up and followed her to the inner courtyard behind her young lady.
"Boss, how much does this pork sell for today?" Xiang San pointed to the fatter pork on the butcher stall and asked the stall owner.
"The farm is busy, pork has dropped by a penny, sixteen wen a catty, what do you want? How much? I'll cut it for you! The butcher stall owner asked the third child with a sharp knife dragging the meat.
Sixteen wen a catty, Xiang Lao San thought of today's extra twenty wen reward, gritted his teeth, pointed to the part he fancied and said to the stall owner: "Here, cut me a catty!" ”
"Great!"
The owner of the meat stall raised his knife and picked up the scale on the side and weighed it, just one pound.
After all, the stall owner has been killing pigs and selling meat for more than ten years, and the accuracy of cutting meat is still very accurate, and you will cut out as much as you want!
At this time, Xiang Tiange, who was led by Xiang Laosan, pointed to the pig's head in the basket on the ground that she had been staring at for a long time, and asked the stall owner: "Uncle, isn't this pig's head for sale?" ”
"Sell! Do you want it? If you want, the pig's head will be given to you for twenty yuan! "The pig's head is only used for sacrifices, but it is not used on weekdays, so the pig's head from the butcher's stall is rarely sold, and almost all of them are kept for their own food.
Although a pig's head weighs 12 pounds, it can be sold for money, and it is better than eating it yourself!
Hearing that it was only twenty wen, Xiang Tiange raised her head and pulled her father: "Daddy, shall we buy another pig's head and go back?" ”
"It's... Daddy has already bought you a lot of meat, let's go home and eat a lot of meat, okay? "Looking at the pig's head, Xiang Lao San was a little stunned, he was only on the second day of February every year, when the dragon raised its head, the villagers of Peach Blossom Village sacrificed together, and then put a pig's head sacrifice, and finally each family shared some to eat at home, and no one eats pig's head on weekdays!
"Daddy, just buy a pig's head!" This pig's head is so big, it's only 20 yuan, how affordable! Seeing that Daddy just spent 16 Wen to buy such a small piece of meat, which is enough for one person in the family to eat a piece, this pig's head is different, so the family can eat enough!
"Okay, boss, please help me get this pig's head again! Are there any lotus or taro leaves? Give me a few pads to put on the back basket, thank you. ”
"San Lang, this pork is placed in your back basket, and Uncle will carry this pig's head on his back."
Thinking of today's extra 20 yuan, the credit is still her daughter's, and now she wants to eat the pig's head, so take out the 20 yuan to buy it for her, but how to get this pig's head to eat?!
Like the sacrificial sacrifice, the whole meat is cooked and cut to eat?
Xiang Laosan was a little worried, he took his daughter and Da Lang Erlang San Lang to buy meat here, it was rare to come to the county seat, Wang and Xiao Jiang went to the cloth shop to find out if there was any work to take back to do.
The daughter-in-law was not there, and he couldn't resist his daughter's coquettishness, and in the end, he stood in front of Wang and Xiao Jiang with a pig's head on his back to the third child, and the scolded dog was bloody.
"That's twenty wen! What a waste of twenty dollars! You're used to her! ”
The Wang family hates that iron is not steel, and the pig's head is big, but almost all of them are bones, how much meat can you get for twenty yuan? ! And it's not delicious! Besides, it's a weekday, who eats pig's head?!
Isn't this a waste of twenty dollars?
"Mother, don't waste it~ Uncle Niang's cooking is delicious! I saw a recipe at Quxiang's house, which was used to make this pig's head, which was delicious! Xiang Tiange hugged her mother and lied to her.
