Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 46

"Uncle, just use this sea bowl to buckle it up and put it upside down!" Ban Xia said to the uncle from the side.

It is true that there are not many people in the village who can eat meat on weekdays, and they only see meat on weekdays during the New Year's festival, and it is rare to see birthday banquets like the Li family.Therefore, even if you are greedy, you generally try to be as reserved as possible.

But the bowl of braised pork that Li Zhiping has is definitely eye-catching.

The scent that permeated the whole yard rushed into the nose, making the gluttons in the stomach twitch non-stop, and with Huang's publicity before, there was an excuse, "This is the dish made by Pinellia? Be good!"

The sea bowl was turned upside down, and the fried taro was golden yellow, and the sauce-colored meat was arranged neatly together. Just looking at it...in fact, I didn't really look at it, because everyone moved their chopsticks quickly.

And the rest of the tables on the side stood up, "Hurry up and come to our table!"

With the banquet at this level, the host is very honorable.

After finishing the round, at the first table, that is, the table where Mrs. Huang was sitting, there was only soup left in the sea bowl of pork, and everyone ate the pork in the bowl.

"I didn't realize that this taro is really delicious and has a meaty taste!"

"It's not just meaty, there's only one bad thing, the meat doesn't seem to be oily enough..."

"I can't wait to swallow my tongue!"

In a daze, Mrs. Huang only had half a piece of taro snatched from other people's chopsticks in the bowl. After eating it, she lowered her head without saying a word.

Li Zhiping thought about Mrs. Huang's sour look just now, looked at the empty bowl, and laughed, "Our Pinellia really did not make a mistake in betting."

Mr. Li, who was sitting in the chair, was eating the steamed and rotten taro, and nodded in satisfaction. Hearing what Li Zhiping said, he immediately became anxious, "Boss, why are you betting on Banxia?!"

The voice was so loud that Ban Xia couldn't help shivering.Mr. Li's worries are the same as Mrs. Li was on the road before.

Without Li Zhiping opening his mouth, the people around him all smacked their lips, relishing the smell of meat and saying, "Uncle, you are also very lucky. This dish from my niece is even more delicious than that from restaurants. I haven't grown up so much. I have eaten such delicious meat! This nephew and daughter-in-law are also filial, presumably because the gift of half a basket of eggs is not enough, so I deliberately found this reason to send some meat for my aunt's birthday!"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a woman with big teeth, "I can't even speak! She said that she had made a bet with Banxia when she saw people. A piece of pork is still hanging under the eaves. If Banxia If Xia finishes this dish first, she will lose!"

Mr. Li burst out laughing, he was startled when he heard that Ban Xia was gambling with him, he didn't know what this niece and daughter-in-law were thinking, he looked at the curved and upturned lips of his niece Ban Xia, It's very funny, how can this girl be at a disadvantage?
It's also my granddaughter who has this ability!

The honorable old man Li smiled and said, "Okay, let's go home and cut the meat, otherwise your uncle won't obey?"

Huang opened her mouth in embarrassment, but she couldn't refute, because she was determined to win before, and she was afraid that Banxia would cheat and deny it, so it would make a lot of noise outside, but now she was shooting herself in the foot. No sound came out.

"Uncle, don't worry, I'll bring it to you when I turn back. On such a good day as my uncle's birthday, I won't waste two catties of meat, right?" The one who said this was Li Zhiliang, Huang's Husband-in-law, he naturally knew that this was the only thing at this time, and seeing Huang's expression, he knew what good deed she had done without asking.

Seeing Li Zhiliang looking at her, Mrs. Huang tried her best to think how to refute it, "They all said to make Pinellia, but who knows if it's true, I'm afraid they didn't get the prescription from somewhere? Or else a little girl... ..."

This is very rascal.

Ban Xia coughed and coughed twice, "Auntie, if you don't believe me, why don't you bring the two catties of meat over now. It just so happens that everyone didn't enjoy their meal, and the stove is ready-made, so I'll make another one for you!"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Huang still insisted, "Where can I buy meat at this point!"

There are so many people, she is not reckless, naturally there are a few big uncles.

Mr. Li also spoke, "Ban Xia, that piece of meat is hanging under the eaves, let's make it with everyone!"

Very confident.

The purpose of Banxia this time is naturally to promote her bean curd grandly, and it's just casual to attack Huang's.Fermented bean curd can only be regarded as a condiment, and no one would like to eat it if it is sold directly, but with the pork meat first, coupled with the promotion of gambling, at least it can spread far in villages that lack gossip.

For fermented bean curd, she doesn't plan to sell it in the market for the time being, because the quantity on hand is not large, so it's not as real as word of mouth.

"Ban Xia, what are you doing in a daze, hurry up and make pork belly!" The spectators reminded.

Ban Xia cleared her throat, "It's also easy to make braised pork, but it takes a long time to steam. I'm afraid everyone won't be able to wait. It's the same when we make fermented bean curd braised pork."

The meat under the eaves was picked off by Li Zhiping and cleaned. Ban Xia chatted with the people around how to cook the meat just now, while doing the work at hand. The meat was cut into small pieces and thrown into the pot one by one to cook.

Mrs. Huang poked her head there, feeling a little uninterested, "Who wouldn't like this, I'm afraid that what I said just now is a lie, I don't think it's necessary to cook a piece of meat here."

Seeing her like that, Ban Xia didn't say a word, first used fat meat to rely on oil, put sugar, and threw the cooked small meat into it to stir fry.

With this progress, the original white meat slowly turns a layer of honey color, and the honey color turns into caramel color again.

Huang's words followed suit, "I'm afraid it's not random, I've never seen boiled meat with sugar."

"Girl, don't think that throwing everything in will be delicious."

"What kind of chili does this have?"

"Yeah, what are you doing with this thing, I've never seen it before!"

"...It's a bit different from the scent just now..."

Even if he really lost completely, when the fermented bean curd and braised pork came out of the pot, Huang took advantage of the favorable position to grab two pieces and swallowed them.

There was no response for a long time.

Ban Xia has already ignored her, "You see, there is nothing difficult about this thing, the difficulty is this, boiled meat and rice noodles or put a piece of it, the taste will naturally be different..."

"Where did it come from? It's at my grandfather's place. It's also left by someone else. It costs two yuan a penny..."

Ban Xia said it very smoothly, "It's not my grandfather's thing either, grandpa?"

Seeing Banxia's blinking eyes, Mr. Li didn't understand anything.

"...Leave this for sale, and I don't know when it will be gone."

Ban Xia looked at the jar, but there wasn't much, "Otherwise, it's also my grandma's birthday, so I'll let everyone taste it, as if my grandpa bought it and distributed it to everyone, go back and try it."

"How embarrassing this is!"

I said I was embarrassed, but finally I went home and brought a bowl. There was a piece of red and white fermented bean curd in the bowl, and the soles of my feet felt windy when I walked.

Because Mrs. Li was here, Ban Xia didn't discuss anything else with Grandpa, thinking that since they had already separated, they were not in a hurry, and it would be convenient to come here.

Along the way, he thought about how much money he could exchange for this batch of fermented bean curd after selling it, and then Banxia smiled foolishly.

At the intersection of Dongwang Village, many people ran in one direction.

One of the women saw Mrs. Li and said quickly, "Ban Xia, why are you still here? Your grandma is killing me!"
