I am Fugui

Chapter 23 Braised Eggs

Early the next morning, Xu Fugui got up excitedly, weighed all the condiments, put them in the pot, added water, first boiled the fire fiercely, then turned to low heat and boiled slowly.

Xu Fugui bent down to look at the gradually darkening pot, smelled it with his hand fan, and nodded in satisfaction.

After learning from the boss of lo-mei in his previous life, he has been cooking it at home many times. Although the taste is not as good as that of the boss of lo-mei, after gaining experience, the taste gradually becomes more and more positive.

Later, the boss of the lo-mei hit it off with him, went down with a few glasses of wine, and even shared the recipe of the hot sauce.

Sometimes, the lo-mei should not only be delicious, but if the chili sauce is good, it will make the lo-mei even better.

Some people even come here just for the hot sauce. Half a bowl of hot sauce with white rice can eat three full bowls.

"Uncle Gen, watch the pot for me."

Chang Gen responded, and walked over to watch carefully.

"Laishun, come here and clean out the large intestine with me, mother, there are some wild eggs left from last time, you cook them for me first."

He squatted on the ground, took out the wooden basin and washed the large intestine with Laishun in the yard, this thing was really smelly, he always exhaled and inhaled less, and tried to avoid standing in the wind.

"Fugui, what are you doing? Dachang, this is, you guys like to eat this stuff, next time I'll send you a piece of it."

Chen Yunsheng passed by the door, shouting at the buffalo with a whip in his hand and a set of tools on his back.

The good news recently is that under subtle influences, people in Xujia Village gradually stopped calling him Young Master.

"Fifth brother, where do you go to work? Come in if you are not busy."

In addition to farming, Chen Yunsheng went to apprentice a few years ago to learn the art of butchering pigs and sheep.

Usually, if no one asked him to do something, he would farm. If there was a family that wanted to butcher pigs and sheep, he would go there and sell them to the county town, earning a lot of money.

Of course, some big families do not kill to sell, but even if they kill themselves to eat, they will pay the butcher a lot of hard work.

So don't look at the business of a butcher as a pig butcher, which is not on the table, but in fact, the income is quite good in rural areas.

Of course, this work is also tiring. A pig weighs about [-] catties after killing and bleeding. It is not easy to walk on the country roads with human power alone.Not to mention carrying it to a county town more than ten miles away.

Fortunately, Chen Yunsheng has a buffalo in his family, which is not only used to plow the fields, but also to help him carry heavy loads.

Therefore, Chen Yunsheng is very precious to this buffalo, and he usually takes good care of it. When others joked that the buffalo was his woman, he smiled generously and did not deny it.

Not much gossip, Chen Yunsheng seemed to have plenty of time, and walked into the yard surrounded by bamboo, "Not many people in our place eat large intestines, and few people eat pig offal."

"It's not easy to buy when I bring it. If you like to eat it, I will bring it to you in the future. I just don't know what to do with it."

Xu Fugui didn't stop moving his hands, and replied with a smile: "Fifth brother, I was just about to tell you, if there are things like pigs in the water in the future, I will keep them all, and I will buy them with money."

Chen Yunsheng was deliberately unhappy and said, "Whatever you buy, it's something no one wants."

Laishun interjected, "My young master is going to sell it for money."

Chen Yunsheng smiled, his face full of disbelief.

Laishun is a stickler, seeing that he didn't believe it, he told him about the braised meat.

"Lo mei? What is this?" Chen Yunsheng asked puzzled.

Although lo mei has been around for a long time in this land, it has never appeared in Yunxi County, and ordinary people rarely know that there is such a thing.

Chen Yunsheng didn't know, it was normal.

Xu Fugui poured out the water in the wooden basin, "Fifth Brother, I'll bring it to you to taste when it's ready, it's absolutely delicious."

Chen Yunsheng didn't refuse either, "Success, I'll go first, Master Long told me to kill the pig, as if he wanted to eat it himself."

Laishun was silent, this pig was probably raised by his Xu family before, Long Er directly picked up a ready-made one.

After cleaning the large intestine many times, there is still a faint smell, which is unavoidable, and it needs to be boiled in a pot.

Sitting under the eaves and resting for a while, I got up and went to the pot to have a look. The color of the lo mei was almost the same, and a strong and unique fragrance filled the kitchen and even spread out.

"It's so fragrant, this taste" Laishun swallowed.

Xu Fugui tasted it with chopsticks, and the taste was a bit worse than in his previous life, after all, there were fewer tools and seasonings, but it didn't matter, it didn't affect the most fundamental taste.

Take out [-] boiled wild eggs, gently break them into the pot one by one, so as not to be boiled when they are marinated.

Blanch the large intestine, put it in the pot after processing, and then wait for the eggs and large intestine to marinate.

Walking out of the thatched hut, although it didn't rain today, the dense fog still hasn't dissipated, the clouds move with the wind, and the coarse clothes can't stop the coolness.

"smell good."

After a while, two children of the Sun family and a child of the Chen family were playing nearby, and they followed this wonderful fragrance to the outside of his yard.

Even Xu Kaihui, the hostess of the Sun family, and Zhufang, Chen Yunsheng's daughter-in-law, couldn't help but come out to have a look.

Seeing Xu Fugui, he beckoned for those children to come over.

"Master." The three children pushed each other into the yard, and called out obediently, "Master."

"Call your brother, and I'll give you something delicious to eat."

The three children looked at each other, and under the temptation of the aroma of the lo mei, they all called out Brother Gui.

Xu Fugui laughed loudly, went into the house, saw that the wild eggs were already tasty, fished out nine wild eggs, and gave four to the children of the Chen family and five to the children of the Sun family.

"Hey, it's hot. It's wrapped in clothes. You can only eat one. Take it back for your parents and try it."

Looking at the strange brown eggs in their arms, they swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Thank you brother."

After finishing speaking, he went back in a flash.

After Xu Kaihui and Zhu Fang heard what their child said, they first scolded a few times loudly, and then chatted with Xu Fugui across the paddy field, saying that the child is not sensible.

Xu Fugui waved his hand, "We are all neighbors, and you usually take good care of us. It's just a few marinated eggs. Let's taste it."

They also didn't know what a marinated egg was, but after tasting it, their eyes lit up, and they were reluctant to eat any more. Regardless of the child's resentful eyes, they left half of it for him, and kept the rest away.

Seeing this scene, Xu Fugui breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and fished out the remaining ten eggs, and took a look at the large intestine by the way.

It takes a long time for the large intestine to taste, so there is no rush.

There are five people in the family now, and it happens that one person has two eggs.

"Is this stuff edible?" Father Xu looked at the brown eggs, and although the aroma made him salivate, he still insisted.

In the next second, he took a sip, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help squinting to savor it carefully
