Chapter 158 Steamed Pork
"Tingting, what are you doing?" Zhou Zhi came over with a stainless steel basin to get the green beans and sweet potatoes and pumpkins. Seeing Jiang Shuyi's nervous and embarrassed face, he was wondering if he should just shut up this little girl Tingting. It should be so lethal?
"You will take photos with Sister Shuyi and the others, but not with me!"
Only then did Zhou Zhi remember that Guan Tingting had seen the photos of them going to Fubao at Zhou Zhi's house, and she was They were jealous of their photos with celebrities, but now they showed up.
"Ouch!" Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "Tingting, don't make trouble, aren't you going to the scenic spot to play? The situation is different from now. Now this is...ah, you should treat yourself as a visiting relative. Do you have a camera on your back? ”
"But it's true that I left in a hurry and without consideration. I apologize to Tingting." Zhou Zhi still has a way of coaxing the child: "Let's go and make you a good thing. If you eat it, you won't blame me."
"What?"
"Teach you how to make a fire, and burn sweet potatoes and potatoes by the way."
"This is fun!" Guan Tingting immediately stopped taking pictures.
Exit the firewood, use a shovel to make a hole in the stove ashes, put the potatoes on the lower layer and put the sweet potatoes on the upper layer, then cover it with the stove ashes, restore the firewood, and start steaming rice flour and steamed meat in the big pot.
Guan Tingting is a very smart little girl. Zhou Zhi quickly taught her how to set up firewood, deliver firewood, and control the fire. Soon there was a beautiful fireman in the kitchen who worked happily.
The pigweed has already been cooked in the big pot on the other side. After mixing it with the rice bran and scooping it out, the cooking started.
The farmers in Jiachuan all eat drained rice. After the rice is boiled until it still has a little hard rice core, scoop it into a rice cooker, filter out the rice soup, and then add the steamer to steam it.
My sister-in-law did this by the way. Zhou Zhi called Yang He, and the two of them carried pig food to feed the pigs. By the way, they chopped leaves and mixed them with chaff. They also fed the chickens and ducks. Turn back, join the team, and listen to Old Yangtou explain the story of this old house.
How beautiful is this old house? It is so exquisite that the stone water tank at the back of the house has exquisite carvings of fish playing with lotus leaves. It is so exquisite that the square tiles above and below each window used to add window lattice have exquisite carvings.
The house was also decorated with carved beams and painted ceilings, and most of them were opera stories. Zhou Zhi could understand only 60% of them. It was only after he had been here several times that he heard Old Yangtou tell them in full.
This old house has been well protected. The fundamental reason is that old Yangtou was so generous back then that the family still has a large collection of IOUs from relatives and neighbors that the family cannot cash. In addition, although he bought two houses in 1949, Hundreds of acres of land, but no rent has been collected. The city's silk and satin shops are still the main business, and they have also established a public-private partnership. Therefore, the final components are still national small capitalists, and they belong to a class that can be united, so they have been preserved.
Similar to Baimi Township is the Lao Wu family, but now everyone in the Lao Wu family is developing in Yuzhou. After the policy was implemented, the government notified the Lao Wu family to come and take over the old house. As a result, Wu Chenxiu said directly that he did not want it. Just handle it how you love it.
Old Yangtou said that the house was better than his own. The layout of the wealthy family was so desolate that it was about to be infested with weasels.
Lao Yangtou was also a person who traveled across rivers and seas in those days. The existence of Qingshui Pao Brother Jindaipi was from Kuizhou to Shudu, as well as along the Hongshui River. He was the one who used boats to do business and sell silk and satin. The road, the old house and the stories of the old days, once the dragon gate array was set up, everyone listened with interest.
While Zhou Zhi was still listening to the story, he pulled out a pair of bamboo mahjong, which seemed to be quite old. Old Yangtou proudly said that they used to play this mahjong with many tricks, and everything was pushed around on the table. It's Huangya Yinyang, Yunnan shisha tobacco.
Since these things usually take place in brothels, they are all started by old cousins and fellow villagers who have played tea party several times.
Hearing these words, Zhou Zhi's face turned pale. Mu Ruyun, an idiot, asked: "Uncle, what is a tea party?"
Old Yangtou said: "Just invite a few people. Playing cards and having a banquet as a group of brothers can be regarded as a way to save face and expand contacts with the close friends. At the same time, they also show their own strength and prepare for the next step with their close friends. "
No, the story is getting worse. Coming more and more Fortunately, the little girl Guan Tingting was still burning the fire in the kitchen happily. Zhou Zhi was determined to counterattack and scolded Mu Ruyun, who had a look of envy on his face: "Prostitution no longer looks like falling in love. That It’s also spending money, Lao Mu, why are you looking so crazy?” Then he winked at Lao Yang and asked loudly: “Uncle, you are so familiar with the routine, you don’t have to help me at that time.”
Lao Yangtou also rarely had the opportunity to show off his past. He just said something too much, and now he suddenly came back to his senses. He was so frightened that he quickly looked outside the house. Fortunately, his guest was not there. He smiled and said: "Haha ...They are all here to help the brothers set up shop. I have no use holding this mahjong. If you like it, I will give it to you.”
"No, I really like to hear your story about playing cards in a brothel."
"You...don't make trouble, I don't have such a story for you..."
At this time, the sister-in-law came over: "Dad, why did you come to the back? The steamed pork belly is ready, and dinner is ready."
The few remaining vegetarian dishes were not Zhou Zhi's turn to show off, so Yang and his mother took on this task.
The best way to make steamed pork is slightly dry but not soggy. It should also be served with a minced garlic dipping dish. Since the noodles and fatty meat are sticky in the mouth, it is most suitable to serve it with porridge or drained rice and soaked in rice soup.
Lucky enough.
Guan Tingting is not as picky as her elbow brother. She doesn’t even eat the fragrant steamed pork first. She eats it with gusto while holding a roasted sweet potato. She even reaches out to slap away her elbow brother and tries to take away a roasted potato from her. Thought
Without it, labor bears fruit.
Yang and his family rarely eat such a feast. Originally, my brother-in-law and his sister-in-law had a baby named Mingming, but today I went to my grandma's house and couldn't eat the good food.
I opened a bottle of Touqu when I was making fat intestines, and I continue to drink it now.
Lao Yang's family is not very good at drinking, so they don't dare to go big. They follow the careful plan, one or two per person.
This meal was quite enjoyable, but it was a little late. By the time everyone had eaten and drank enough, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
Yang He began to fetch hot water, while Yang, his mother and sister-in-law began to make the bed, spread clean sheets, get quilts, and arrange for the girls to rest.
Jiang Shuyi and Zhang Xinyi were heating their feet comfortably in a big footbath. Jiang Shu noticed that Zhou Zhi, Su Datou, and Mu Ruyun were all busy, and asked curiously: "Zhou Zhi, what are you doing?"< br>
Zhou Zhi was sawing the bamboo tube, and Su Datou was responsible for stuffing bamboo shavings into the bamboo tube, pouring kerosene into it, and then blocking it with wrapped cloth.
Lao Mu took out a handful of sharpened steel wire, took out several bamboo sticks, and tied a few steel wires on the head of each bamboo stick.
The three people occasionally interacted with each other, but they didn't speak. They cooperated so well that they seemed to know what to do next.
Hearing Jiang Shuyi's question, Zhou Zhicai smiled and said: "I'm going to take care of the eels in a while. We're making torches and needle guns. Whether we can add vegetables tomorrow will depend on tonight's harvest."< br>
