The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 14

During this trip to Qing County, Yuan Laosan found out that there were also sporadic refugees fleeing in Qing County. Seeing that the scale was still within the controllable range, he was relieved for the time being.

Cuihua and the others still need to purchase supplies for the New Year, after Laba is the New Year.There is not enough food, Cuihua plans to buy gray noodles.

The flour of Daxia is a bit yellowish. There is no chemical brightener here, so the color of the flour is the original yellow.

Shudi is called "gray noodles". Compared with rice, the blending in it is less obvious. As long as the old dough is left, the size of the fermentation is controlled by the cook.

Qing County has a lot of supplies, gray noodles cost 40 jin per catty, and old noodles (wheat from last year or the year before) 20 jin per catty. There are cheating weapons. Cuihua bought 200 catties of old noodles and spent 4 taels of silver.

If you want to make bacon, you don’t need to buy it here. The uncle’s family in the lobby has raised 3 pigs this year, and they agreed to sell one pig to the old Yuan’s family and the second Tangbo’s family.It takes a lot of salt to make bacon. There are many wells in Sichuan, and there is no need to get stuck with salt and iron.

Black soy sauce, salt, sugar (maltose), vinegar, dogwood and Chinese prickly ash, torn cloth, some wine for Old Man Yuan, plus the money for Sister Yuan’s medicine, it took 10 taels of silver to stop! One-third of the 30 taels of silver suddenly went away, which is too wasteful!Then go back.

Seeing that the old noodles that Cuihua bought were half the price of the new flour, Lao Yuantou praised Cuihua several times: "We can't get enough of the new noodles and the old noodles! They are all the same, and the old noodles are good!"

I even ran to my cousin's house to tell the reason (meaning cheap), it's not cheap, but this year's food price is too outrageous.

On the day of Laba, the uncle’s family in the lobby killed 3 pigs, and there were very few pigs and weeds if it didn’t rain. The 3 pigs that had been raised for a year were only [-] catties after slaughtering. The bones, offal, pig's head, and pig's trotters allowed Cuihua to finally show off her skills and give full play to it.

Stewed radish with tube bone: no seasoning is needed, just a small rub of salt, the radish in winter has only its sweetness, drink a large bowl of thick bone soup, absorb the bone marrow inside, and finally the end of the radish, with distinct layers .

Stewed fatty sausage with peas: Wash it repeatedly with plant ash, pull out the inner layer to remove the dirt, and then put some old man Yuan's wine to marinate to remove the fishy smell. There is no seasoning in the brine, and the fresh ingredients are also delicious.

The stewed peas are thin, the fat intestines are soft and waxy, and there is no peculiar smell at all. There is also fat in the intestines, and the mouth is full of oily and meaty aromas.

The best method of pork head meat is stewed or cold. In Qingxian County, I found two condiments, cornel and pepper, so that the cold pig head can be presented: boiled pork head cut into thin slices, pig ears, pig face, and arches Mouth, Zanthoxylum bungeanum and Zanthoxylum bungeanum, this fruit looks like Zanthoxylum bungeanum, it is the "pepper" of Sichuan people, carefully dry the Zanthoxylum bungeanum and Zanthoxylum bungeanum and Zanthoxylum bungeanum with charcoal fire, then grind into powder, and add a spoonful of hot oil.

Shredded ginger, a little sugar, dark soy sauce and vinegar make the appearance of the pork a bit lower, but after adding spicy oil, the taste is sublimated, and even two kids can eat half a bowl.

The oil residue boiled from pork suet, accompanied by a little salt, can become the best snack for children.

Pig hearts, pig lungs, pork belly, pig trotters, pork kidneys, etc. will not be spared. They will be placed in the natural freezer in the snow, and meat dishes will be served every few days. The face is rounded up.

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Father Hu also came to deliver a wave of meat to his daughter. Father Hu went to the county town to sell leather and met a beef seller. Farm cattle in Shu are very scarce. Although eating beef will not break the law, there are few normal cattle. Someone was slaughtered.

This is a cow that froze to death after being injured by the roof of the snowstorm. Father Hu bought a hundred catties himself. There was not enough food, so he came to make up for the meat. Beef is still a rare thing.This time, I gave my daughter 20 catties of beef and seven or eight rabbits.

Cuihua brought out the dried wolf meat and the brewed wolf bone wine that she made last time for her father. Knowing that her daughter had beaten seven wolves last time, Father Hu's face was flushed and he was very proud of his daughter.Satisfied, he returned to the mountain with his daughter's booty.

Hei Wa in the space conferred on Papa Hu the title: The best husband-in-law in the world.There are not many ancients who love their daughters so much.

"Daughter-in-law, we really need to be grateful. The parents I met in my two lifetimes are very good, and there are no top relatives in my family."

"I'm very grateful. Although your family is a stepmother, you can actually get along well. Apart from being stingy, you don't like to work. There is nothing wrong with you!"

"Be more filial to them in the future. I regret it now. The two of us spent too little time at home with our parents in modern times. Most of them were not at home in the next few years, and we even let our parents send their white-haired people to their black-haired ones. In this life, we A lesson has to be learned.”

"Well, why don't we say that we are a couple and want to go together." The two looked at each other and smiled.

The beef brought by Hu's father was turned into thumb-sized dried bacon again. The family was very used to it, so they would have a piece if they had something to do.

A small strip can be torn for a long time, and the front teeth at both ends feel like they are almost lost after eating.

The rabbit skins were tanned, plus the five or six pieces that had been tanned this year, a total of fifteen rabbit skins, Cuihua planned to stitch them together into a fur blanket.No matter how cold it is with this artifact.

One day before the Chinese New Year, Yuan Lao Er returned home and brought back the gun heads customized by the village. Old Yuan helped everyone put the handles on the guns, holding them one by one like a toy, pretending to be a fake.

According to the force value of the villagers, the village head distributed wooden guns to 50 strong laborers, and asked everyone to stand on the last shift, and they will have a holiday after the New Year's Eve.
