Chapter 8 Eating Meat
The Zhou family can't eat a few meals of meat a year.
If you eat meat, it is possible that Lu Chunsheng will send some of it, but it will not be as much as this time, and it is not necessarily a pig in the water, which is often not bought, but a smooth outing, and second, it may be Zhou Ang's uncle Zhou An's school assigned to the teachers.
In addition, in Zhou Ang's memory of the past ten years, there is almost no third situation.
How delicious the meat is, who wouldn't want to eat meat!
The adults are better, the children can't bear it, the little girl Zhou Zihe is usually sensible enough, this time the son watched her mother scoop two scoops of water and hang it down to blister, although she also followed the drying of clothes, but her eyes still couldn't stop floating to the basin.
The last batch of clothes was dried, and the family first served out the meal that Zhou Ang had just cooked to eat.
This little bit of food is only enough to pad the bottom of your stomach.
After eating, put away the dry clothes, while the sky is not dark, check again, the clothes are torn, rotten, Zhou Cai's generally sew and mend to the guests, although it does not charge extra money, but it will win a lot of repeat customers, and even many merchants who go to Lingzhou all the year round only recognize Zhou Cai's.
If it is usual, at this time, while collecting clothes and sewing and mending, you have to get it until dark, and then Zhou Cai, Zhou Zi and his mother will go out to return the clothes to the guests, and come back before the door is locked.
But today, the sky was still bright, and they only packed up the clothes that they were waiting for tomorrow, and Zhou Caishi didn't say anything, and went out with Zhou Zihe, and when they came back after sending the clothes, it was just dark.
Fill a large pot with water and start simmering.
Pigs in the water are also meat.
One pork liver, two pig lungs, and one pig heart are all good things.
And in this year, although the rich don't eat the water, but for the poor, this thing contains a lot of fat and is cheap, but it is the most satisfying thing during the New Year's holidays.
As soon as he hung up the water and entered the pot, Zhou Cai's wiped his head into Zhou Ang's room, carefully took off the basket, and took out a small paper bag with handwriting from the bottom of the basket, and opened it to see that it was actually a handful of peppercorns.
There are four or five pepper trees in the courtyard of the Zhou family, and they can always collect seven or eight taels of dried peppercorns every year, but there is no meat to eat at home, so it is useless to keep it.
It's just that she will still stay a little bit.
A small handful of peppercorns and a handful of onions and garlic were sprinkled, the fire burned, the pot gurgling, and soon the aroma of meat wafted all over the yard.
Zhou Zihe swallowed while burning the fire.
When the meat was stewed in the pot and the hot soup was taken out, Zhou Caishi first took a pottery bowl, put a piece of pig lung in it, and instructed Zhou Zihe, "Hot, be careful of burning your hands, go and send it to the Lu family." ”
Zhou Zihe was stunned for a moment.
Zhou Ang quickly understood what it meant, and said with a smile: "I'd better go!"
Who knew that Zhou Caishi turned his head and glanced at him, his expression was a little serious, and said: "You are the master, you go and send it, how can they pick it up?" gave the bowl and pestle to Zhou Zihe, "Girl, you go!"
Zhou Ang was a little stunned, Zhou Zihe had already taken the pottery bowl, said crisply, turned around and went out with the bowl - Zhou Ang's eyes chased her back, and said with a smile: "Run slower, we'll wait for you to come back, I promise not to steal food!"
The little girl Zhou Zihe Wenyan stood down at the door, showed a sweet smile to Zhou Ang, and then closed the door and left. Zhou Caishi also smiled dumbly in the kitchen - today I feel that my son is much more lively, and it seems that his body is really good.
The rest of the things were put into the bowl, and Zhou Ang shrugged his nose and sniffed it, it was still a little fishy.
This is no way to do it, although the pigs of this era are also castrated, but there is no variety of good feed, there are no various hormones to urge growth, the growth cycle is much longer, the meat is older, the natural taste is greater, plus the stew material is actually not put anything at all, a little onion, garlic and pepper do not top anything.
To rest in modern society, Zhou Ang is really not interested in this kind of rough pig water, but for the current body, even this fishy smell can hook his gluttony.
Hungry!
Zhou Zihe soon came back with an empty bowl, and said with a new face: "Mother, mother, Uncle Lu still thanks me!"
Zhou Cai just smiled and didn't explain.
The rest of the heart, liver and lungs were cut while they were hot, put them in a pottery bowl, put them on the dining table, put some salt in the bowl next to them, and three bowls of hot broth were also served, greasy and greasy with a layer of oil, in addition to the green onions, they also put some sunflower vegetables and lettuce slices into it, which was very gluttonous.
Only then did Zhou Cai greet his sons and daughters and said, "Come here, sit down, and eat!"
As she spoke, she took the rare initiative to take a piece of liver, gently dipped it in a salt bowl, put it in her mouth, and then Zhou Zihe started.
Zhou Ang is better, no matter how hungry he is, after all, he is an adult, and he is not very rare from the heart, but the little girl Zhou Zihe's eating appearance is ugly.
However, soon, Zhou Ang found that except for the first chopsticks at the beginning, his mother didn't put down the chopsticks, but just looked at a pair of children with a smile on her face, and from time to time took a sip of her clear broth with little water.
Zhou Ang thought about it, didn't say anything, and pretended not to see it.
The salt is bitter, and the meat is actually salted, but Zhou Zihe still likes to dip it in salt a lot when she eats it, and when she dips it too much, she feels distressed again, and then shakes it back.
This year, the pigs have grown small, and the internal organs are of course small, but a piece of pig liver, a piece of pig lungs, and a pig heart are added together, and a large bowl is still cut and hung with tips.
The brother and sister ate happily, and Zhou Cai's was also very happy.
It's just that seeing that more than half a bowl of pork offal was belly, Zhou Zihe actually stopped his chopsticks and said with a smile: "Mother, brother, I'm full!" - where is it possible that he is really full!
This time, without waiting for Zhou Caishi to speak, Zhou Ang opened his mouth and said, "Eat, it's hot, and you can't put things!"
Zhou Zihe looked at his mother a little embarrassed, then at his brother, and said, "But...... Uncle Lu sent something to make up for his brother's body...... My mother didn't eat much. ”
Zhou Ang laughed, picked up the chopsticks and clamped a large number of chopsticks, and before Zhou Caishi could react, he had already put them in her soup bowl, and then said to Zhou Zihe: "Eat with confidence now!"
Zhou Cai hesitated for a moment and didn't speak, but just glanced at his son in surprise.
Zhou Zihe still didn't resist the temptation of meat, and lowered his head again to eat.
So, a big bowl of pork offal was so full, and the family ate it again after dinner.
This is probably the fullest and most satisfying meal that the little girl has eaten in recent times, and after eating, she yelled that her stomach hurt, and she had to let her mother rub her stomach.
Zhou Ang also felt that after eating this meal, he felt quite full of vitality, so he walked to the courtyard for a walk, and then his heart moved, and he punched - it was the familiar feeling, and the comfortable cool air swished into his body.
After the three-way simple version of Tai Chi is finished, he is refreshed and healthy.
He suddenly felt that this might be a world with aura.
But then he smiled self-deprecatingly: It's hard to say whether there is aura or not, but nine times out of ten, his Tai Chi is just a psychological effect!
If such a simple version of Taijiquan can infuse one's spiritual energy, then I am afraid that this world will already be full of sword immortals.
After entering the night Zhou's house, he was easily reluctant to light the lamp, only by the moonlight, and received all the clothes that had been dried into the house, Zhou Cai's told Zhou Ang, "The illness is just right, don't study tonight, go to bed early." Then he took Zhou Zihe and went to lie down together.
Zhou Ang obediently didn't read, and went to bed early.
It's just that lying on the bed, he couldn't help but sigh, thinking back to today, he shook his head, smiled, and turned over again, Xu was extremely tired, and he fell asleep like this.
