Chapter 31: The Book Says
The reason why she was pestering to buy this pig's head was because she had seen the method of cooking pig's head in a book in Qu Xiang's study before, and just listening to Qu Xiang read the word, she listened to it deliciously!
"It's... There are still books that teach cooking? ”
Wang was surprised, there was a book about the effects of herbs, and she was already shocked when she wrote about it, and there was still cooking? Wouldn't you even be taught how to farm?
Thinking like this, Wang asked out loud: "Is there still a teaching on how to farm in the book?" ”
Xiang Tiange heard her mother's words, tilted her head, thought about it carefully, and said, "I haven't heard the song read about teaching farming now, and if I read it in the future, I'll tell my mother!" ”
Saying that, Xiang Tiange remembered that she didn't seem to be looking for the song in the past few days, and he didn't seem to have gone out for a few days, Xiang Tiange planned to be empty tomorrow, so she went to find the song, she wanted to tell him about her going up the mountain to pick the myrtle today, and she also wanted to share the story of the myrtle and it with her friends!
"Yaya, this pig's head, is there really a way to make it delicious?" Xiao Jiang looked at the pig's head behind Xiang Laosan, who was still bleeding and looked a little bloody, and asked.
"Uh-huh! There really is! The book says it all! Xiang Tiange nodded affirmatively, she wouldn't be mistaken, she remembered very well, Qu Xiang had read to her how to cook pig's head!
"Is there still sugar in the house? The pig's head is cooked and delicious, so you need to use sugar! There are other ingredients, such as soy sauce, cinnamon, ginger, Sichuan pepper, and dried chili peppers! ”
Xiang Tiange snapped his fingers and counted the ingredients needed to cook the pig's head method in his memory.
“......”
Listening to the name she read, whether it was Xiang Laosan, or the Wang family and Xiao Jiang, or Xiang Dalang, Xiang Erlang and Xiang Sanlang and others who had been silent on the side, they were speechless.
"Boss, this pig's head, can you take it and see if you can return it to the meat stall?" Wang said to the third child.
Xiang Laosan: "......"
Can I get my meat back if I bought it from a meat stall?
Fortunately, Xiao Jiang stretched out her hand to stop the two, she picked up Xiang Tiange, and asked her carefully: "After using these ingredients, how should this pig's head be cooked?" ”
"After cleaning up the pig's head, boil it in a pot under boiling water for a while, take it out and then scrape it clean, and then put sugar to fry it to make a color, you can put the pig's head in it to color and add water, and add other ingredients to boil!" Xiang Tiange remembers this very clearly, without it, the sugar will be fried to make the color, and it will sound delicious!
"Did you say how long you have to boil?" Xiao Jiang asked again.
"Hmm... After boiling, boil for another quarter of an hour on high heat, and then simmer for two quarters of an hour after the taste is right! Xiang Tiange recalled and continued.
"Well, that's pretty simple." Xiao Jiang nodded clearly, and said: "Okay, this pig's head doesn't need to be returned, such a heavy pig's head is only twenty yuan, and we have a benefit, take it back, I'll try to get it out according to Yaya's method." ”
Xiang Laosan and Wang: "??? ”
No, how is it so easy?
Just listen to the ingredients, and when they are cooked, they have to be taken out, fried, put in and cooked... Both of them felt a little big-headed.
"Sister-in-law, that... We don't have the cinnamon that Yaya just said. ”
Jiang's family has it, and basically every household in the village will plant some ginger in the corner of their vegetable garden, not to mention for cooking, if it rains, you can also cook a bowl of ginger soup to drive away the cold.
"Yaya, does the book say what this cinnamon is?" Xiao Jiang lowered his head and asked Xiang Tiange in his arms.
"Yes! The book says that cinnamon is both a spice and a medicine! It has the effect of warming the stomach, dispelling cold, invigorating blood and relieving tendons, clearing the pulse and relieving pain and diarrhea! Xiang Tiange immediately replied.
When she first read the page in the book that introduced cinnamon, she was full of curiosity, and the skin taken from the tree can also be used as medicine, and it is also a spice!
It's a pity, that kind of tree, she hasn't heard from her family, she asked her grandfather some time ago, and grandpa also said that she has never seen this kind of tree on the hills near the village.
"Then let's go to the pharmacy, don't we still have to go to the pharmacy to sell these 'notoginseng' and 'kudzu'?" Xiao Jiang looked at the Sanqi and Gegen that were in his son's back and carried in the basket behind Da Lang.
Hearing her words, Xiang Laosan and the Wang family have no opinions, they do have to go to the pharmacy for a trip, even so, then ask this 'cinnamon', and use it to cook a pig's head, it shouldn't take much.
Since the sister-in-law wanted to try to get this pig's head, the two suddenly had no opinion on the pig's head that their daughter was pestering to buy.
After all, the doctor of Jihetang is more familiar, before Xiang Tiange was born, Jiang's body has always been sick and weak, and he was cured by the doctor of Jihetang, so a few people still decided to go to Jihetang to ask if they would accept Sanqi and Gegen?
Jihetang is on the north street, and a few people just walk in the direction of the city gate.
"Hello, is Dr. Ge here?"
There are no patients in Jihe Hall now, so Xiang Tiange and the others didn't see Old Doctor Ge when they came.
Doctor Ge is the sitting doctor of Jihetang, and he is also the only one.
The Jihetang is a pharmacy opened by the Ge family, and the son of the old doctor Ge is the shopkeeper of Jihetang, and the shopkeeper Ge is responsible for the purchase and sale of medicine.
Originally, Dr. Ge thought that his son could inherit his medical skills, but helplessly, his son didn't have that talent, so he let him be a pharmacy shopkeeper.
And the son of the shopkeeper Ge, that is, the grandson of Dr. Ge, still has some talent, so Dr. Ge is now teaching him to recognize medicine and memorize prescriptions.
"You are ......," Shopkeeper Ge, who was sitting behind the counter, squinted his eyes and carefully identified the group of people in front of him.
"Oh~ It's yours, you are the family of Aunt Jiang in Peach Blossom Village! My dad is in the backyard, just go find it yourself! Soon, Shopkeeper Ge recognized them, because it was Xiang Laosan who came to grab the medicine for the Jiang family before, and then pointed to the door leading to the backyard and said.
Jihetang is not very big, it is a very simple lobby for seeing and grabbing medicine, and the backyard is where the Ge family lives, and boiling and drying medicine are also carried out in the courtyard.
Looking at the door blocked by a cloth curtain, Xiang Laosan did not go over, but took down the back basket from Xiang Dalang's back, and put the contents on the counter one by one, he said: "We can't go, Ge shopkeeper, we want to buy some cinnamon, and you can show it, these are medicines?" ”
