Spring is coming

Chapter 49 Bought a whole pig’s head
Mo Yuanlin also put rice into his mouth and praised Mrs. Gao vaguely: "Mom, your cooking is getting better and better. I haven't eaten your food for so long. I really miss it when I eat it today. "

Mo He drank a bowl of soup and stopped eating. He heard that he pursed his lips and smiled and said, "Second brother is right, this soup is also very fresh."

Mrs. Gao was helpless and looked at the two of them: "You flatter me and you don't even know it! This soup and chicken offal are both made by Chun'er, so where is my craftsmanship?"

No wonder. Mo Yuanlin chuckled awkwardly, and then asked how his mother could cook such a delicious dish. They had been accustomed to his mother's poor cooking skills since they were young.

"By the way, where is Chun'er?" Mo He asked.

She actually wanted to ask her daughter, but was too embarrassed to ask directly, so she asked on the pretext that she was concerned about Mo Jingchun.

Gao was her own mother, so she naturally knew her concerns, so she replied: "Chun'er said that Yingying fell asleep. She was also very sleepy and went back to sleep."

"Ah" Mo He lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

"By the way, Chun'er is going to town to buy some things tomorrow. You can take Yingying with her. I'll give you some money first, and you two will make up for whatever is missing first."

Naturally, you don’t want to take back what you left with Lu Liangcheng.

Mo He knew in his heart that Gao wanted to lend them the money, and he felt sad again, feeling that he didn't know where to go in the future.

Mrs. Zhou was not feeling very well. Even if her married sister-in-law came back to live there, she still had to take the family's money.

But they have all separated. This is all Gao's own money, and Zhou can't say anything.

Knowing that it was Mo Jingchun's cooking, she couldn't eat it, as if it was stuck in her throat, but she still forced a smile in front of Mrs. Gao.

It took a lot of effort for Mrs. Gao to have some changes in her opinion just now, but she didn't dare to act in such a way so quickly.

Lu Ying smothered herself in the quilt, but she didn't actually fall asleep. She could hear everything going on in the courtyard clearly.

Mo Jingchun's breathing was right next to his ears, and he didn't seem to be asleep.

She lifted the quilt and found that Mo Jingchun had lit a small oil lamp by the bedside - he was leaning on the bedside to read for fear of disturbing her.

"Are you literate?" Lu Ying was surprised.

"Well" Mo Jingchun turned to look at her and asked curiously, "Are you not sleeping?"

"Can't sleep."

"Then you're not going to eat? You haven't eaten at night. You should be hungry at night."

"."

"."

They are obviously two sisters, but the atmosphere seems a bit awkward at this moment.

"Don't eat."

"Second aunt is pregnant." Mo Jingchun reminded her kindly, "Even if this afternoon's incident is over, it's better not to mess with her in the future."

Lu Ying raised her head after hearing this and sneered again and again: "Did I provoke her?"

"I didn't tell you."

Lu Ying closed her mouth again and continued to put herself back into the quilt.

Mo Jingchun melancholy stared at the bulging quilt in silence for a while, feeling suffocated.

How could he kindly remind her and still act like he was wrong?
Mo Jingchun decided not to take the initiative to communicate with Lu Ying anymore, as he would be easily angered to death.

Mrs. Gao asked Mo He and his daughter to go to the town with Mo Jingchun, and they boarded the donkey cart of their fellow villagers early in the morning.

When the man arrived at the city gate, he put them down and agreed to meet at this location at any moment.

With plenty of time, Mo Jingchun decided to accompany the two of them to buy supplies first.

The three of them went to the cloth store first, which was the same one that Li bought for Mo Jingchun last time. The store was still full of people and business was booming.Before Mo He went out, Mrs. Gao gave her a total of two taels of silver, which was more than enough.

But Mo He still only looked at the most common linen and chose one for her and Lu Ying.

One piece of cloth was enough for two clothes, and she thought it was enough for the time being.

Mo Jingchun opened his mouth to persuade: "Sister-in-law, it's winter soon, so I don't have enough clothes."

"It's okay, sister-in-law, I'm anti-freeze." Mo He pinched Lu Ying's shoulders and smiled in a flattering way, "Just give your sister some old clothes that you can't wear."

Lu Ying is now wearing Mo Jingchun's clothes from last year. The cuffs are shorter, exposing her wrists and forearms.

Mo Jingchun sighed that although her sister-in-law had escaped from that home, she still lived cautiously in her parents' home, which was not easy at all.

She knew that it was impossible to change Mo He's anxiety by just opening her mouth to persuade her. Only when Mo He had money on his hands could he feel more comfortable living with his daughter at Mo's house.

Otherwise, with Mo He's temperament, he would always feel that he would drag down Mo Yuanlin and the Zhou family, and he was secretly entangled in his heart.

She nodded: "What else does sister-in-law want to buy? Let's buy it together."

After buying basic daily necessities, Mo He only spent half a tael of silver to go out.

Mo Jingchun came to the meat stall. There were not many meat stalls sold at this time, and all kinds of meat were available.

She pointed at the pig head and asked the stall owner: "Uncle, how much does this fan cost?"

The stall owner still remembered that she had been here a few days ago. She was a very well-behaved little girl. She smiled and replied: "Forty cents per catty. This half has five or six catties. Do you want it?"

Forty cents per catty, half a fan of pig's head is about 240 cents, and a whole fan is half a tael of silver. You can probably sell dozens of pieces of braised pork. You can try the water first.

After she calculated it, she made up her mind and said, "Okay, give me a whole fan. No need to chop it. By the way, I can also wrap up the tail and pig's trotters."

Mo He was frightened when he heard this, and quietly tugged at the corner of her clothes: "Chun'er, even our family can't eat even if you buy so much!"

She thought Mo Jingchun was greedy for meat.

Mo Jingchun didn't mind at all: "Sister-in-law, I'll buy it back to make braised pork, and then sell it in the town."

Only then did Mo He understand why Mr. Gao asked her to follow Mo Jingchun. After they finished buying, they deposited the meat with the stall owner, then visited the market in the town and bought braised meat from other braised pork stalls. Go back with the meat and several large bowls.

Mo Jingchun wants to know his opponent, himself and the enemy.

People from the same village came back from doing things and went to the place agreed in the morning to see Mo Jingchun and three people waiting under the tree, holding a large fan of pig heads in their hands. They were also surprised: "You bought so many? This pig's head must be there." Fifteen pounds, right?”

Mo Jingchun pursed his lips and smiled: "Twelve pounds, that's about it."

"Hey, how long will your family have to eat?"

He clicked his tongue.

After dropping Mo Jingchun and others at the entrance of the village, he drove away in a donkey cart. As soon as Mo Jingchun got home, he rolled up his sleeves and started washing the pig's head.

Prepare to make pork head meat.

She still has the brine she used to brine the pig's trotters last time. The brine can be reused.

As long as the stewed soup is not bad, it will become more fragrant the longer it is cooked. The people who cook it constantly adjust the ingredients and taste, and after decades of waiting, it has become a time-honored brand.

She washed the pig's head, soaked it in water for about an hour, cleaned up the dirt and residual hair on the surface, and then threw it into a pot to blanch it. When it was roughly cooked, it could be put into the stew.

After cooking for more than half an hour, she felt that it was almost delicious, so she took it out and used a knife to skim off a small piece of the inside along the bones to taste the taste.

As long as the inside is tasty, it's ready.
