"Brother Xiaoqi, are you going to make delicious double-cooked meat again?" Baoer followed Zhao Qi's clothes and followed behind.

"Yes, brother makes the refried pork tonight, and you and my mother will come and eat it later!" Zhao Qi touched Baoer's little head with his hand and nodded with a smile.

"Yeah, I'll have meat to eat again at night!" Baoer cheered excitedly.

Zhao Qi walked to the front of a piece of garlic seedlings with lightness. It was supposed to be a lush piece, but now it has become sparse.

The garlic seedlings are not often eaten by the Song people at present. At most, they use them when stir-frying meat. Moreover, rural people have few opportunities to eat meat, so A Lian doesn’t plant much at home. Zhao Qi ate the meat several times in a row, and each time there are more than ten. After a few times, the garlic seedlings are almost gone and the soil is left.

Zhao Qi squatted down to pull out the garlic seedlings, trying to choose the thicker ones, but he could only draw the generals from the short ones. Now the rest are basically some weak seedlings.

"Xiaoqi, you... where did you get so much money to sell meat recently? You have only been to the dock for a few days. If you have money, you have to save some. Don't eat and drink too much. Don't learn how to do this with A'an Ermazi!" A Lian whispered as she closed her skirt and squatted down to help.

"I know, I don't have the hobbies of A'an and Erma. It's better to buy meat than to use it for gambling and drinking, right!" Zhao Qi said with a smile.

"Well, you...you are right. At least Xiaozhu and grandma can still eat with you like this. But A'an earns wages every day and never takes them home. He only comes back after eating and drinking at the dock. I have said that it has not been effective many times. You...you will still advise me to persuade him in the future!" A Lian begged softly after a long time of silence.

"Well, I will say that A'an came back the night before yesterday, actually I should have come to see him. I didn't expect A'an to be so crazy about beating you like this. Do I want me to go to the town to buy some plaster for you?"

"No, no, he has hit me before, and it's all skin trauma. I'm used to it. As long as you're fine, I couldn't get beaten yesterday, and I couldn't stop him..." A Lian quickly shook her head and explained in a low voice.

"Even if this matter is over, if A'an beats you again in the future, you go to find me. If I'm not here, please look for the grandmother. Don't worry, if A'an doesn't change, I will find a way to cure him. A big man who doesn't earn money to support his family and even beats a woman. Such a man shouldn't get married and harm women!" Zhao Qi pulled up a garlic seedling to shake the soil, with a slight anger in his voice.

"Xiaoqi, you...you are really different from others. If... if A'an is really half as good as you, I will live a happy life with you..." A Lian lowered her head and did not dare to look at Zhao Qi's expression.

"Sister A Lian, you don't have to endure it. If A'an still doesn't change in the future, he will sue the official and divorce him. He will marry a good man while he is young. Such a hardworking and kind woman, I am afraid that other unmarried young people in the village will rush to ask for it!" Zhao Qi said fiercely.

"Xiaoqi...you...you must not say that in the future. My sister is a miserable life. No wonder others. A'an is a matchmaker for my uncle. If I am retired, my aunt and parents will have no face to see anyone..." A Lian looked up with a pale face, and several blue and purple scars on her pretty face looked particularly eye-catching.

"There is no such thing as a bitter life. Sister A Lian doesn't let me say that I won't say it in the future. I just can't stand you if I beat A'an so cruelly!"

Zhao Qi tied the pulled garlic seedlings with a blade of grass and stood up. A Lian quickly stood up. The two of them accidentally touched each other again. A Lian's cheeks were blushing and quickly moved away.

"Sister A Lian will bring Baoer to dinner later. There will be two distinguished guests in the evening, as well as Uncle Yuan, Grandpa Liu, who will also come..." Zhao Qi left the vegetable garden with a hurried sentence.

"Xiaoqi, I... Baoer and I won't go there anymore, so as not to think more when A'an knows..." The woman chased her to the door of the yard and shouted quietly.

"Well, I'll ask Xiaozhu to send some to you and Baoer at that time!"

Zhao Qi's voice drifted with the wind, and the person was already more than ten meters away.

The woman leaned against the crooked gate of the courtyard and looked at Zhao Qi's disappearing back. Two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks without realizing it.

...

With the garlic sprouts, the ingredients for hot pot meat are all ready, but there are many people eating at night, so four dishes are definitely not enough. Zhao Qi began to deal with a large amount of fat intestine that came.

The butcher at the fat intestine butcher shop has washed it, but obviously it won’t wash it too clean.

Zhao Qi squatted on the edge of the pond with his fat intestines, changed it into a two-foot long section with a knife, then turned it over and washed it repeatedly with grass to clean the remaining dirt inside, but this was not enough. He also needed to rub it repeatedly with salt, and then sprinkle some rice wine and minced ginger to drive away the fishy smell.

The Song Dynasty was an era of the rise of food.

It can be seen through the prosperous dietary industry in the wharf and Yanggong Town that almost some cooking methods in later generations are available now, but the treatment and taste of dishes are different. The so-called eight major cuisines in later generations have not yet formed. However, due to the different climates and eating habits in different places, dishes in different places have begun to appear in great differences and their own styles.

Chicken, duck, fish, fry, stir-fry.

Whether it is ingredients or cooking methods, the Song Dynasty has almost no difference from the food culture of later generations.

For example, Sichuan cuisine has begun to use Sichuan pepper and spices in large quantities.

The light taste on the southeast coast has also been clearly reflected.

Of course, the rise of food culture is due to highly developed agriculture and commerce.

In the Song Dynasty, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, which used to be very precious, have now become a common object for cooking in people's homes.

The wide-scale promotion of iron pots has also made cooking the most convenient and fastest way to cook.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, pork was not very popular. The wealthy families ate mutton, either venison, beef, chicken, duck, fish and goose, etc. Only ordinary people ate pork, and basically only ate fat meat, mainly because they lack oil and water, and they also don’t know how to make it.

But thanks to Mr. Su Dongpo, who was not happy with meat, was demoted to Huangzhou because there was no mutton, so he could only replace it with pork. He actually invented a Dongpo pork that was passed down from later generations, which gradually made pork start to enter the public table.

But even so, the scraps that later generations are still not very popular at present.

However, in Zhao Qi's opinion, the pig intestine is delicious whether it is stir-fried, braised or braised.

A bowl of hot and spicy fat intestine noodles can make Zhao Qi feel that his saliva cannot be controlled and he falls down.

When Zhao Qi was washing his intestines, Chen Ji and Yao Ran stood beside him and looked at him with only his face thrust.

The air was filled with a faint smell of pig shit, which was really uncomfortable, but as a guest, it was hard to remind Zhao Qi to throw the ugly pig into the water.

In the eyes of these literati and scholars, the pig intestine is the most vulgar ingredient. Some people regard it as a snake, scorpion or even poison, and would rather starve to death than take a bite.

Of course, there are still many people who are still in this prejudice against fat intestines after hundreds of years. Many people don’t touch it for a moment, and even feel disgusted when they see it.

However, as the local customs are followed, the host wants to entertain guests with fat intestines, and the two candidates can only pinch their noses and recognize them. However, their evaluation of Zhao Qi's magical attributes is automatically-1, and they decide to be farther away from the fat intestines for a while.

After washing and cleaning the fat intestines, Zhao Qi took it into the cave and chopped it into small pieces, put it in a clay pot and filled it with water, add large ingredients such as ginger, salt, soy sauce, star anise, and other large ingredients, and ordered the bamboo to cook it.
