Chapter 90: Filial Piety

Then clear the pot again, dice the bamboo shoots into cubes, pour some oil from the small gourd to heat, add the diced bamboo shoots and stir-fry using the bamboo shoot shells with the fine hairs scraped off as a spatula.

Place the fried diced bamboo shoots on a piece of galangal leaf, then add the minced pickled cabbage, soaked minced ginger, snail meat, five-spice powder, soy sauce, brown sugar, and then add water to boil.

Mouse and Shouwa don’t have lunch at home, so now they are watching Su You take out the seasonings from the basket, and the aroma makes their mouths water, and they can’t help but praise: “It’s so fragrant...even better than the Chinese New Year’s chicken soup rice.

fragrant……"

Su You threw the folding knife to the mouse: "Then quickly go and cut some bamboo spoons, and have a good tooth ceremony at noon today."

The pot was almost simmering, so Su You poured in the fried bamboo shoots, mixed them well, added the wild onion segments and garlic leaves, and said, "Let's eat!"

Half of the front of the bamboo tube was cut off and rounded, and the children used it as a makeshift spoon, and they started eating it over each other.

Su You said to Shi Wei: "Weier, how are you?"

Shi Wei put a small hand under the bamboo spoon and nodded repeatedly while eating: "It's so delicious! Why has no one in the village ever made it?"

Su You smiled and said: "The main reason is that it's hard to make, and it costs fuel and seasoning. If it tastes good, just eat more of it, little mouse-skinny kid, why don't you move?"

The mouse lowered his head: "Xiaoyou, this dish today is so fragrant. It's different from the ones we made randomly before. I think... I want to take some home..."

The thin boy also murmured: "Me too, I want to give my parents a taste of such delicious food..."

Su You was stunned. People in this era were obsessed with the word filial piety.

The snail meat fell back into the pot, and only then did Su You react: "Oh, okay! Two filial sons."

"But just feel free to eat, touch the snails in the water after eating, can't you just make another pot for your parents?"

The mouse and the skinny boy were happy now: "Ha, thank you Xiaoyou! Then today's bamboo shoots are all yours! We don't want them anymore."

Su You smiled: "No, because you are so filial, a pot of snails is just a reward."

Shi Wei also nodded: "Well, Brother Mouse and Brother Shouwa are both good kids."

Su You took the opportunity to educate Shi Wei: "Weier, you should be nicer to your older brothers and don't always make trouble with them."

Shi Wei looked very magnanimous: "As long as they allow me to play with you, I won't be angry with them."

Well, forget it, let’s not talk anymore, the few little heads continued to gather together and eat like crazy.

After a delicious meal, the mouse said with a smile: "I like to go out with Xiaoyou the most. There is always delicious food. In winter, the wild rice is the fattest. When are we going to dig wild rice?"

Su You said: "I'm afraid I won't have time. I have to move tomorrow. I called some friends in Meishan City to come and help. Let's go touch the snails. After we finish, we will go down the mountain. Tuzi and them should be here soon."

A large pot of snails was fried and divided between the two of them. Each of the four of them came down the mountain carrying a bag of bamboo shoots.

There was great excitement around the ancestral hall, and Shi Fu was directing everyone to carry things to their new home.

Su You caught up and handed it over: "Fourth brother, what are you doing?"

Shi Fu smiled and said: "Aren't you a worshiper of my Shi family? Now we are a family again. I will send you some furniture as a gift for moving."

Shi Wei took out the golden toad from her bag and opened the frog's mouth. The tongue inside happened to be the key to winding up the frog.

Insert the key into a hole on Jin Chan's side, twist it a few times and put it on the ground: "Fourth brother, look, brother Xiaoyou gave it to me."

The golden toad was jumping around on the ground, as if it were alive.

Not only Shi Fu, but also the eyes of everyone around him almost dropped.

Seeing the golden toad running towards the pond, Su You quickly stepped forward to pick it up, handed it to Shi Wei and said, "Don't play by the pond. This golden toad can't swim. If it falls, it won't be able to float."

Only then did Shi Fu realize: "The machine...the machine man..."

Su You smiled and said: "It's not a machine man. The legendary machine man uses rats as power to drive him around. I don't have that ability."

Shi Fu pointed to the golden toad in Shi Wei's hand: "That, that, that..."

Su You said: "What powers the Golden Toad is a clockwork, which uses elastic steel sheets as energy storage devices. Ask your grandson, he is involved in this thing."

Shi Fu was so angry that he stamped his feet: "This kid still can't understand the importance of it. I have repeatedly told you that if you have new gadgets, you have to write to me and let me know! You still don't take my words seriously..."

A voice muttered from behind: "This is the reward my master gave me after I figured out the principle of the gear box. This copper-skinned toad seems simple, but in fact it involves a lot of things. Why don't I come back and tell you in person...

"

Everyone turned around, and it turned out that Shi Tong had arrived.

There were two mule carts parked at the entrance of the village. On one cart were a few curious children, who were the internal affairs team led by Zhang Sheng. The other cart was filled with bottles and cans of various goods.

The butcher also came, and brought his son to offer his hand: "Thank you young master for taking care of my business. Are we going to do the surgery now?"

Zhang Sheng's children also gathered around: "Young master, your hometown is so beautiful!"

Su You smiled and said: "You are all here? You will be in charge tomorrow, are you confident?"

Zhang Sheng said with a smile: "The charity shed business has been extremely good these few months, so don't worry, young master!"

Su You said hello to the other children, and then said to the villagers who came to help: "Everyone happens to be here, so the villagers will come with us to see what Hachigong's pigs look like."

He took the neighbors who came to help to the pig shed, where four fat pigs lay humming.

The growth and meat quality of this pig are different from those of ordinary pasture-raised pigs.

Su You said: "This is a pig that undergoes surgery after weaning. As long as the feed keeps up, it can grow to more than 100 kilograms in six months."

There was a buzz in the shed, and the villagers started talking.

Su You waved to everyone to be quiet and said: "This method of castrating pigs is actually available outside, but the folks have never paid attention to it."

"There is also the traditional method, which only deals with boars, and sows are usually killed after three months. It is really a waste."

"Look, among these four pigs, two are female. In fact, sows can also be castrated. This technique is called cross-dressing."

"Pigs that have undergone surgery are docile and easy to keep in captivity. They are less tiring than herding, and the elderly at home can also help."

The villagers made a fuss again. Half of the baby pigs were sows. The skin and flesh of the big sows were harder than those of uncastrated boars. They couldn't be eaten even if they were raised. Now there were twice as many pigs to raise.

Piggy!

And it can be used by children and the elderly, which is a great benefit.

Su You continued to press his hand: "This pig is ready for slaughter. If it is well raised, it can be raised in two pens a year, and if it is not well raised, it can be raised in three pens in two years. Based on the calculation of a family of two pigs, it will weigh 400 kilograms in a year, with an average of one pig per day.

A lot of pounds."

Now I couldn't hold it back any longer, and there was an immediate commotion in the shed, which frightened the four pigs.

The smell in the shed was bad, so Su You hurriedly called everyone out, and said on the dam in front of the ancestral hall: "Tomorrow's banquet is, firstly, to celebrate the move, and secondly, to let everyone taste the meat quality of this kind of pig, which is also very different from ordinary pork.

.Now please help everyone set up the stove and boil water, we will kill the pig later!"

Only then did the villagers notice that there were two big things on the mule cart, a large iron pot.

Zhang Sheng and Su Bagong served as the commander, that is, the general commander. One was responsible for directing the cooking of the stove, and the other was responsible for gathering the tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks.

There is no other way. We have to hold a banquet, but everyone in Longli has to do their best, otherwise the tables and bowls will not be put together.

Fortunately, with more people and greater strength, things were done quickly. Water was boiled in the big pot and the pigs were ready to be killed.

Two pigs were dragged out of the shed and tied to a wide bench.

Zhang Sheng dragged over two wooden basins to collect the blood.

Su You instructed the butcher to cut at the lower artery of the pig's neck.

In the past, pigs were killed by stabbing their hearts. The butcher looked at the blood flowing into the basin and said, "This is a good method. It will keep the inside of the pig clean."

Then he stretched out his hand and patted his son on the forehead: "Learn a little and do it this way in the future!"

Zhang Sheng smiled and said: "This is a new method that has just become popular in the city. Pig blood is also a good dish. Uncle butcher, what you have to learn next is to tighten blood and prosper. If you learn this trick, which slaughterhouse in the city will rob you?"

I want you."

The little butcher smiled so hard that his mouth twisted: "Brother, are you serious?"

The butcher slapped the little butcher on the forehead again: "First, you can do your craft without being embarrassed!"

Su You smiled and said, "That means that by next year, you two will be too busy just to kill the pigs in Kelong."

While talking and laughing, the pig stopped struggling. Su You taught the little butcher to cut a hole in the pig's leg and blow air to make the pig swell. Then he began to scald the pig and scrape it. Zhang Sheng took over the internal organs to clean them and used resin to remove impurities.

hair.

Butu Zi saw something was wrong: "Little Langjun, that hoof and internal organs... used to belong to Tu Zi..."

Su You laughed loudly: "You can't even cook it well. A pair of pigs in the city costs fifty cents, and two pigs cost one hundred cents. I will give your boy an additional fifty cents for help. One hundred and fifty cents."

, having sex with two pigs, which one do you choose?"

Butcher was happy: "Of course it costs money! If you go into the water and take it back, you will have to pay for salt if you can't finish it!"

Su You felt a little nauseous when he thought about how the butcher's family ate salted offal. He quickly shook his head to dispel the discomfort and said, "Let the little butcher do the work of deconstructing the meat. You first come with me and learn from Jing Wangzi."
