I am a cripple in the Siheyuan. Who am I afraid of?

Chapter 120 The password to the safe is your birthday

He couldn't stay on the mountain any longer. It had just rained and it was really difficult to walk. Song Wu decided to go out now and come back when the weather was good.

The rabbits and pheasants that he had noticed on the road had disappeared due to the rain, so he had no choice but to give up. With the wild boar, he had everything, and he didn't care about the little game anymore.

Went down to the foot of the mountain and saw that the road was not very easy to walk on. He could barely ride a bicycle. Song Wu didn't change his clothes. Anyway, he would start riding later and the wheels would throw mud everywhere, so he might as well wait until the road cleared up.

He saw a small village nearby from a distance.To be honest, he was really tempted and wanted to go to a small village to find the mountain people here to help clean up the wild boar.But I can’t think clearly about it, so I’d better go back and figure it out myself.

The way back was not easy, but he seemed to be more energetic than when he came here. Every time he thought about the two giant wild boars of [-] to [-] kilograms placed in the space, he couldn't help but grin.

After walking almost to the North City Gate, he finally saw a solid road. Song Wu found a place to change out of his clothes and shoes.

By the time he returned to the courtyard, it was already dark.To be honest, I was really lucky today. It rained and I was able to go back the same day. And I got what I wanted, and I really caught a wild boar.

It was not convenient to go to the bathhouse at this time, so I simply went to the small courtyard of the repair shop and scrubbed casually with the running water until I finally got myself clean.

But you can’t eat pigs with fur on them. You have to take them out. What should you do?

Song Wu sat in the room with a teapot and worried.Today he is still alone, and Lou Xiao'e is still taking care of her father at her parents' house.

Sitting in the room, he never felt that his home was so empty, and he was not even in the mood to eat at night.

He heard the voices of Shazhu and Qin Huairu talking outside the door. They must have just returned from the factory after get off work.

The two of them are now in the No. [-] Canteen, so they basically go to and from get off work together.

Hearing Silly Zhu's voice, Song Wu's heart moved. He didn't know how to kill pigs, so the cook should know a little bit about it. Why don't you ask?
Yes, ask Shazhu.Song Wu stood up and opened the door. He saw Shazhu and Qin Huairu just walking to the hall, and quickly stopped him.

"Zhuzi, come here, I have something to ask you."

Shazhu and Qin Huairu looked over together. Shazhu had a puzzled expression, while Qin Huairu was full of expectations, but was soon disappointed.

Silly Zhu said a few words to Qin Huairu, and then walked towards Song Wu: "What do you want to say?"

Over there, Qin Huairu glanced at Song Wu one last time before turning back to the middle courtyard.

Song Wu thought for a while and said to Silly Zhu: "Today my wife is back at her parents' house. Let's have dinner together under the fire. It's just the right time to cook two dishes and let's have a drink too."

Silly Zhu was so happy that he opened his mouth with joy. He loved drinking with Song Wu the most.Because good wine and good food are indispensable every time.

So the two of them went to the small yard of the repair shop together, where they planned to cook vegetables for dinner.

If Silly Pillar is here, of course I want to try his craftsmanship.

Song Wu still actively attacked Silly Zhu, and gained a lot every time.Song Wu didn't bring out many things today, but there was also a fish, vegetables, mushrooms, and rabbits.

This was the first time that Shazhu knew that Song Wu’s family had rabbits.But Song Wu thought that He Yuyu had eaten several meals, so he should know how stupid he was, but who knew that the girl's mouth was quite tight.Not bad, worthy of a reward.

He said to Silly Zhu: "I also got a pair of breeding rabbits some time ago. I finally got two litters of little rabbits. They have grown up recently and I think they are almost ready to eat. Why don't I take a chance and let you come over and have a taste?" , and at the same time, I will also try your craftsmanship."

Silly Zhu said: "Oh, please give me the rabbit. I'll make sure you eat it this time and think about it next time." Especially when he saw that Song Wu had all kinds of condiments. , even more happy: "You have everything here, please just ask."

Compared with Song Wu and Sha Zhu, let’s not talk about the difference in taste between the two people.At least for one thing, Silly Zhu is much more agile in cooking than him.

Good guy, this is because the fire at home is not big enough. If it is a fire in the canteen or restaurant, it will not fly!

However, Song Wu actually didn't care much about the speed of cooking. He still felt that he had to work slowly and carefully.Because he didn't eat based on this, and no one urged him to serve the food quickly, he was very particular about getting all the flavors in.

Silly Zhu made a dish of watercress fish, rabbit was also spicy, and stir-fried green vegetables.Anyway, it looks like it looks better than Song Wu’s. You’ll know the taste later when you try it.

When the dishes were all served, Shazhu rubbed his nose and asked with a smile: "What good wine can we brothers drink today?"

Song Wu asked him with a smile: "You can drink whatever you want."

Silly Zhu chuckled: "Looking at your talk, I want to drink Xifeng, do you have it?"

When he thought about it, something as good as Xifeng Wine would never appear in Song Wu's family.However, Song Wu picked out a bottle of Xifeng for him: "If you want to drink Xifeng, I will take it out for you. I will ask a question later, so you can't hide it."

Silly Zhule couldn't close his mouth. He weighed the wine bottle and looked up and down, then unscrewed the bottle cap, as if he was afraid that Song Wu would regret it.He smelled it first, looking intoxicated. "It just smells better than Erguotou."

Song Wu said: "I don't believe what you are saying. Everyone has their own preferences for carrots and cabbage. You can't criticize Erguotou just because the wine is expensive. I think Erguotou is good. If you hadn't ordered me to drink this today, I would still be weighing Erguotou today. .”

Silly Zhu didn't argue, just smiled, took the cup to two people first, and poured a cup for each person.

The two of them chatted casually, eating food and drinking. What Silly Zhu talked about the most was all the interesting things that his sister Qin had done while working in the No. [-] Canteen these days.

According to what he said, Qin Huairu was quite talented in cooking, and she was already good at chopping and garnishing vegetables. Now Shazhu had begun to teach her how to cook.

Song Wu could tell that Shazhu had been very happy recently, he was in high spirits, and he was even more excited when he spoke.

After half of the bottle of Xifeng wine had been drained, and both of them were a little drunk, Song Wu asked Silly Zhu: "Have you ever taken care of the wild boar?"

Silly Zhu was stunned and shook his head.Song Wu felt a little disappointed for a while, but soon he heard Sha Zhu say: "I haven't done it, but I think my father cleaned it up, and that was before liberation."

You looked at him, breathing heavily as you spoke.

Song Wu hurriedly asked: "Then you should know how to clean it up, tell me quickly, how do you shed the hair and skin of this wild boar?"

Silly Zhu thought for a while and said: "The main thing is to prepare a big pot. The sharper the knife, the better. And you can't stop boiling water. First, scald the pig hair. Wild boar is dirty, so you have to keep boiling water." Change the water. There is no technique for hair removal, it just involves hot water, you have to be strong, and you have to not be too dirty. The key technique lies in peeling off the skin."

Then Silly Zhu told Song Wu with great interest how to skin a wild boar.

How to blow?Why cut off the pig's head first?How to separate skin and flesh?He told Song Wu carefully.

Finally, we talked about how to remove bones and clean up internal organs. Alas, it was quite comprehensive.

Song Wu listened carefully and wrote down as much as possible.He just wanted to know a rough idea. When he actually went to clean up the wild boar, he would probably rely on brute force.

After finishing speaking, Shazhu drank a glass of wine and then asked strangely: "Song Wu, why are you asking about the wild boar? Who still has a wild boar in his hand?"

Song Wu smiled and said: "A buddy bragged to me, saying that he would go up the mountain to hunt a wild boar to improve his life and make the tasteless food more oily. We made an agreement, he will be responsible for hunting the pig, and I will be responsible for cleaning up. Pig. Although I don’t think he really has the ability to hit a wild boar, but what if it happens, so I have to find someone who knows how to master the skill first, and I can’t let myself down when the time comes.”

Silly Zhu Le, "Although I think your buddy is unreasonable, I still have to thank him. Otherwise, would I be able to eat rabbit and fish today? You know, I haven't had the taste of meat for a long time. , If he really gets a wild boar someday, ask me to cook it for him, I’m sure he’ll eat it and want to go up the mountain again.”

The two people clinked their wine glasses, looked at each other and laughed.

Song Wu's last thought before going to bed at night was that now that he knew how to take care of the pigs, he should take care of the two wild boars tomorrow before Lou Xiao'e came back.

……

Although Lou Bancheng's illness was acute, it was considered a false alarm.But in his own opinion, he has passed a small hurdle.To be honest, he had never thought about life and death before, thinking that those things were still too far away from him. He was only over 50 years old and less than 60 years old. In addition to taking good care of himself, he always felt that he was still very young and in the prime of life. .

But even though it was a near miss this time, it also reminded him of a lot of things.He has already gone to Xiangjiang, so he doesn't need to worry anymore.But the Lou Tan family who followed him, especially Lou Xiao'e, made him want to take more care of her.

Lou Bancheng thought in his heart: "It's time to make some arrangements slowly."

In the evening, Lou Xiao'e specially cooked a cup of nutritious porridge for her father, Lou Bancheng.Although Lou Tan, who was guiding her, was basically in charge of the operation, the preparation of ingredients and the turning of pots were all done by Lou Xiao'e herself.She also accidentally burned the back of her hand.

Lou Bancheng couldn't help but have tears rolling in his eyes as he ate the nutritious porridge that his daughter fed into his mouth.He felt that he had not cared enough about this well-behaved, lovely and beautiful daughter. He was so focused on his work that he did not give her enough care at all.

After finishing the porridge, the family of three sat around the bed and talked about common things.Lou Bancheng suddenly said to Lou Tan: "Help me get the box in the safe. The password of the safe is your birthday."

Lou Tan was stunned for a moment, and tears soon flowed out. She covered her mouth and was so excited that she didn't know what to say.

She had never touched that safe, and she didn't know its password, let alone what was inside. But today Lou Bancheng actually told her to open the safe by herself, and the password was her birthday.She knew exactly what this meant.

So many years of silent dedication finally paid off.
