Chapter 105 August Festival

When Mrs. Yang saw Mrs. Xu's refusal, she put on a straight face: "Where did you get the money? You have spent all the money to repair the pigsty, and you have bought a lot of meat recently. Where do you get the money? Besides, your money is yours." , This is a little bit of my heart for my in-laws."

After saying this, Mrs. Yang glanced at Zhang Sijiu again: "You also need to buy something, and go to visit your uncle and grandfather's grave. In previous years, your parents would go there. Now... ask your second uncle to accompany you in advance. go there."

After she finished speaking, she sighed, and somehow thought of an old saying: The hemp rope is only broken at the fine point, and bad luck only finds the poor.

Zhang Sijiu's mother used to have a brother, but before she could marry a daughter-in-law, she even got married to her father and mother, ate unclean food, vomited and had diarrhea, and they all went away within three days.

At that time, the funeral was still arranged by their family.

Zhang Sijiu had been wondering why he didn't have an uncle or aunt here, now that he heard this, what else didn't he understand?
She said calmly, "Yes. Then the second uncle will accompany me to run there. The little pumpkin is too small. Let's take her there in two years."

Zhang Xiaoshan also responded, and turned to Xu Shi: "Then remember to buy the things."

Yang nodded.Then I talked about how to spend the August Festival at home, and finally I talked about buying mooncakes.

Yes, there are already moon cakes these days, but there are not many tricks.

Zhang Sijiu's heart skipped a beat: Moon cakes...

Then she gave up: I knew it was very profitable when I heard it, but unfortunately I don't know how to do it.

All of a sudden, Zhang Sijiu felt a bit sore that he couldn't breathe—a large sum of money was lost!A lot of money!

The whole family chatted about how to celebrate the August Festival, but in fact there is still more than half a month left for the August Festival.

Obviously, Mrs. Xu really had no money, so she handed over the matter of drying millet directly to Mrs. Yang and Zhang Sijiu, and began to think about how to make money.

Although Zhang Sijiu didn't know how to make moon cakes, he thought of another way to make money, which was also related to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a time for family reunion and reunion.

What do people do together?It's nothing more than drinking water, chatting and eating melon seeds, cooking and eating and clearing the table.

Usually this time is when people are most willing to spend money: moon cakes, melons and fruits, snacks, chicken, duck and fish——

Zhang Sijiu even remembered that even in the hospital ward, as long as the patient's life was over, the patient's family members would try their best to eat as much food as possible on this day, bringing moon cakes and melons and fruits to eat.Sometimes they even stuff a little bit for their medical staff.

Therefore, Zhang Sijiu felt that this time is the best time to launch lo mei.

What is it?Stewed meat, stewed fat intestines, stewed chicken, stewed duck, and various duck intestines, duck hearts, duck feet, chicken feet, ribs, pig ears——

As long as the pot is big enough, anything can be stewed!

Even if you are tired of meat dishes, you can also use halogen dishes!
Lotus root, kelp, eggs, bean curd——

Zhang Sijiu mentioned it to Mrs. Xu, but Mrs. Xu hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth and made a decision: "Let's try it tomorrow!"

She even used the little money Yang gave.

It can be seen that the Xu family is really out of money.

Zhang Sijiu had it in his hand and gave it to Mrs. Xu, but Mrs. Xu didn't want to touch it and kept it all.

Anyway, on the second day after deciding to sell stewed meat, Zhang Sijiu and Mrs. Xu went to the county town to sell stewed eggs together. When the stewed eggs were sold out, they went to buy meat.

These days, odds and ends such as chicken feet and duck feet are not easy to buy.

When people buy ducks or chickens, they buy a whole duck and take away. Except for duck feathers and duck blood, everything else has to be taken away.

Therefore, Zhang Sijiu and Mrs. Xu only bought a chicken and a duck, and they didn't ask others to help them kill them, so they took them away alive.

Then, the two went straight to the pork shop.

There are so many things to choose from in the pork shop: pig heart, pig liver, pig lung, pig intestine, pig trotter, pig tail and pig ear, pig face, pork ribs, pork belly——

After asking the price, Mrs. Xu haggled for a while, and finally gritted her teeth and bought pork heart, liver, lung, large intestine, trotters, tail and ears, a pork rib, and a piece of pork belly.

Just like this, more than half of the capital has been lost.

Among them, the pork belly with fat is the most expensive.

As for the pigs into the water, it's cheap.

The two baskets Mrs. Xu brought were almost not enough to hold them.

Finally, Mrs. Xu had a heavy basket in one hand, and Zhang Sijiu hurried home with a chicken in his left and a duck in his right.

Then there is a busy meal-pigs are cheap to enter the water, but they are the most troublesome to deal with.

Especially pig intestines.

Zhang Sijiu washed it with plant ash three times before he felt that the smell was almost gone, and then rubbed it with warm water several times to make sure it was clean before sending it to blanch.

As for the pig's trotters and pig's ears, they also need to be carefully cleaned. One is that it is troublesome to shave, and the other is that the pig's ears will smell bad if they are not washed well. It is necessary to carefully clean the pig's ear holes.

With these tasks alone, Zhang Sijiu and Mrs. Xu were busy for a whole noon.

Seeing how busy and exhausted the two were, Yang didn't say anything, and took the initiative to contract the cooking.

Even Xiaosong Xiaobai honestly let the ducks go, fed the chickens and ducks, and helped to light the fire and watch the pot.

As for Zhang Xiaoshan: He reported to the Yamen today.

After all, he was also afraid of long nights and dreams for this errand to go to the Yamen, so he thought about it as soon as the autumn harvest was over.

After lunch, Zhang Sijiu and Mrs. Xu set up a big pot and started to boil stewed soup—this pot was newly bought.

It's made of iron, and the skin is a bit thin, but it's really big. It can put a seven or eight-year-old child in a lump, and it's not too big to squeeze.

Mrs. Xu also specially used clay bricks for the big pot, and built a simple stove in the shed where the pigs were cooked.

The stewed soup is boiled separately first, and then the ingredients are put into the stew.

Before that, Zhang Sijiu first threw the fat chicken, pork belly, and four big stick bones to boil.

For stewed pork, it still needs to have a meaty aroma.

The chicken soup mixed with bone broth has its own natural fragrance and oil.It is the most suitable for marinating first.In this way, other lo-mei without oil and water can absorb some oil and taste more delicious.

It boiled for half an hour. In the middle, Zhang Sijiu took out the pork belly first, and then took out the chicken. The remaining bones and sticks continued to boil.

It wasn't until the strong fragrance came out that she asked Mrs. Xu to remove the other things in batches.

Braised soup always tastes better the more it is boiled.

Especially when bubbling and bubbling, the smell lingers for a long time, and the fragrance lingers far away.

Xiaosong and Xiaobai couldn't move half a step at all, they all surrounded the pot, swallowing mouthful after mouthful of saliva.

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Xu scolded angrily: "Fuck off, everyone is worthless! It's not like I won't let you eat for a while!"

While cursing, someone shouted at the door: "Second Aunt Xu, are you at home?"

　Really, when the stewed soup is boiled, it really smells like smelling off the nose.Can't help but want to eat.

　　The next update, probably around ten o'clock?
