Chapter 71. Eating all morning is like sitting at a table(1/2)
People in Northeast China sleep in a kang, with their head facing the edge of the kang and their feet facing inward.
Today, there were six pillows placed on the edge of the kang in the west room of Li’s family.
Zhao Jun, Zhou Jianjun and Xie Chen all slept at the Li family tonight.
Li Baoyu was very happy and took care of everyone enthusiastically.
Li Ruhai was very happy and kept talking, while Li Dazhi said to Li Ruhai.
This situation mainly occurs because Zhao Jun and Zhou Jianjun are mainly blamed.
Just now, when Zhao Jun was washing his feet, he accidentally mentioned that today's sweet potato is good.
Li Baoyu and Xie Chen nodded from the side to agree, and Li Dazhi couldn't help but curl his lips.
The name of the sweet potato is here, but it is actually the sweet potato that is pulled.
No matter how good this thing is, can it still have braised bear paws and iron pot big goose?
However, it is the Zhao family who eat big fish and meat every day. After eating sweet potatoes, they feel fresh.
At that time, Li Ruhai was already eager to try, but he never found the entry point for the topic.
But then, Zhou Jianjun asked, "Where are the sweet potatoes? Our family didn't save them this year?"
"Brother-in-law, I bought it back!" Li Ruhai suddenly raised his right hand, and his forearm and his upper arm were at a standard ninety-degree angle, and he happily answered Zhou Jianjun's question.
"Ah...ha..." Seeing Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu, and Xie Chen even winked at him, Zhou Jianjun felt something was wrong.
But when chatting in Northeast China, it is important to "not drop to the ground".
Li Ruhai called his elder brother-in-law, and Zhou Jianjun had no choice but to answer: "Ruhai, you are so amazing, our purchasing market cannot catch up with you."
This sentence is a bad thing!
As soon as Zhou Jianjun finished speaking, Li Ruhai stood up from the bench, stepped forward to Zhou Jianjun, and said, "Brother-in-law, why don't I go to buy it for you?"
"Ah?" Zhou Jianjun was stunned. He was also under his control of the procurement in the venue, but the 14-year-old child was engaged in procurement. It seemed that it was not the case if it was reported.
"Brother-in-law, I'm not bragging to you..." Li Ruhai's words could not be closed from here.
He talked endlessly and talked freely, telling Zhao Jun and others about his history of making a fortune when he was working hard.
"Don't stop stuttering!" Li Baoyu didn't stop him, but he couldn't stop him at all.
If it were only Zhao Jun and Jie Chen came, Li Baoyu would have taken action against Li Ruhai long ago. But Zhou Jianjun is also here today, and Li Baoyu is afraid that doing it himself will make Zhou Jianjun think more.
Because beating the child in front of the guest will make the guest feel embarrassed, and some people misunderstand that the owner does not welcome him.
Seeing that Li Ruhai could not hold it anymore, Zhao Jun immediately wiped his feet and went to the kang to get into the quilt.
Twenty minutes later.
"Ah...ha!" Zhao Jun, who was sleeping in the innermost part, pretended to yawn, then pulled it over.
After turning it over, he faced the west wall and his back faced east.
Seeing this, Zhou Jianjun yawned thirty seconds later, and then turned over to face Zhao Jun's back.
Then came Jie Chen, and then Li Baoyu.
It took no more than two minutes to start from Zhao Jun to Li Baoyu.
Zhao Jun, Zhou Jianjun, Jie Chen and Li Baoyu all lay on the side facing west and east.
The two people lying on the west side of the kang are Li Dazhi and Li Ruhai.
At this time, Li Dazhi couldn't hold on anymore, pretended to yawn, and then turned his back to Li Ruhai.
There were six people on one kang, and five of them all faced west.
Li Ruhai slashed his mouth with unfulfilled satisfaction, then turned around and slept against the east wall.
...
At this time, the snoring sounds shook the sky in the west room of the Zhao family.
The four drunken men can't wake up anybody.
As the owner, Zhao Youcai slept on the kang. Although the kang was not as warm as the kang, there was no warm applause in Zhao Youcai's dream.
The audience was crowded with people, and there was a video recorder near the shelf platform. Female reporter Su Xianglian was waiting for an interview there.
On the stage, Zhao Youcai's chest was paired with a big red flower, and the bodies of three Siberian tigers were horizontally placed in front of him.
Among them, one black and two yellow, two large and one small.
At this time, a voice seemed to come from the sky: "Everyone will congratulate our tiger-beating hero Zhao Youcai with warm applause!"
"Wow..." The applause was like a tide of Qiantang.
"Hahaha..." Zhao Youcai on the stage laughed to the sky.
The applause stopped with Zhao Youcai's laughter, and then the voice rang again.
"Comrade Zhao Youcai went up the mountain at the age of nine, and had thirty-four years of ups and downs. At the age of forty-three, he achieved a brilliant record of killing eleven wild boars with ten shots, and has since become famous.
After that, Comrade Zhao Youcai was determined to eliminate the strong and help the weak and eliminate the tiger's problems. Now he shot three tigers in two days, which shocked the south and west of the mountain. People from the two ridges called him a hero, and old friends gave him nicknames..."
The sound fell, and the surroundings were silent.
Zhao Youcai thought in his dream: "What is my nickname? Dayong hasn't come up with me yet."
...
The next day, January 10, 1988.
Wang Meilan got up at around four o'clock. Today, there are guests at home, but they are still VIPs.
According to local customs, it is necessary to pack the filling to show the importance.
There were too many dishes yesterday, so I didn’t eat much roe deer purchased by Li Ruhai.
When the men were still drinking in the afternoon, Wang Meilan ordered Zhao Ling and Xu Chunyan to chop the roe deer leg meat and waist plate meat into meat fillings that they had picked in the morning.
After spending time with Wang Meilan, Zhao Ling and Xu Chunyan have figured out her path.
The chopped meat filling cannot be directly seasoned. Side dishes need to be washed with clean water first to wash away the blood contained in the meat.
Then use a wicker to remove the meat filling, snatch it dry and then mix it with the filling.
Doing this is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Only Wang Meilan will do this in the entire Yong'an Forest District.
But I have to say that the meat filling produced in this way does not have a trace of bloody smell. Then add the chopped green onion and add appropriate amount of seasoning to season.
The noodles were delivered last night. Here, steamed dumplings are perm noodles. The noodles are either steamed buns or baked pies.
Wang Meilan chose both, but it wouldn't be difficult to change the buns into pies anyway.
First wrap the buns, then hold the bottom of the buns in one hand, lightly lift the buns in the other hand, and then roll them into pies.
I mentioned it for a while to make the pleated dead noodles thin, so that there is no too thick piece of dead noodles in the pie.
The filling and noodles are prepared in advance, and they won’t make too loud noises even when working.
But there were guests in the west room, and Wang Meilan was too busy to get busy, so she took the basin to the next door.
At this time, Jin Xiaomei and Li Dayong all got up.
When Wang Meilan arrived, the couple had already exchanged soy milk, tofu brain, big tofu and dried tofu from the tofu shop.
Then, Jin Xiaomei and Wang Meilan made a bun. Li Dayong went out to climb over the wall to Zhao's house, lit the stove with firewood, boiled water and prepared to steam the buns.
A large white, fat bun was scattered on the sorghum pole cover beam, Jin Xiaomei and Wang Meilan murmured in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, you have to organize us to lay a batch of these cover curtains in two days, otherwise it would not be enough."
"Isn't it enough?" Wang Meilan said while pinching the bun folds, "Before the Gregorian years, we were tying twenty of them."
"What's that enough, sister-in-law?" Jin Xiaomei said: "I heard from Baoyu that after the holiday before the New Year, the few of them would go up the mountain.
Then, we will get wild boars, roe deer, etc., and we will freeze meat outside. Wouldn’t we have to hold it with a curtain?"
This was said to Wang Meilan. Others threw the frozen meat into the snow and froze for two or three hours. Just go out and pick up the frozen pieces of meat from the snow into the jar.
But Wang Meilan didn't do it, so the pickled meat had to be placed on the cover curtain, and then took it out and froze it out with one cover curtain.
Sometimes, when the frozen meat is stained on the cover curtain, you have to use the back of the knife to lift it. If it is not lifted well, the cover curtain will be broken.
"I don't want them to catch wild boars anymore." Wang Meilan put the wrapped buns on the cover curtain and said, "The wild boars were so thin that they were not delicious before the New Year!"
In late autumn and in the first snow, the wild boar that has just gained weight is the fattest and the meat is the most fragrant.
The more you rely on the years in winter, the thinner the wild boar meat is, the less delicious it is.
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean?" Jin Xiaomei said: "Let's buy two pigs?"
"Oh, let's take a look at it then." Wang Meilan said: "I'll let Xiaojun and the others try their best to catch them the next year."
Jin Xiaomei glanced at Wang Meilan and thought to herself that your Xiaojun can listen to you, and these people can listen to you. How can the yellow-haired man listen to you the next year? Can the hunting dog listen to you?
I thought so in my heart, but Jin Xiaomei didn't dare to say such a ruthless thing.
"Sister-in-law." Jin Xiaomei said: "When the time comes, I will take care of pigs and let my family Ru Hai do this."
The pig catching that Jin Xiaomei said was different from the one who went up the mountain to catch wild boars, but went to the family who raised pigs to catch them.
