Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 58
As the year approaches, the business of slaughtering pigs becomes easier, and Butcher Zhang is also in a good mood.

Seeing that the two little dolls can buy so much pork, he laughed, "Eight catties?"

Ban Xia smiled brightly, didn't care how Yuan Guang winked at the side, just looked at him and said, "Uncle, look at this collection, you are the best business, you must be very powerful."

Half of the words were left behind.

Butcher Zhang laughed, "You little boy, how did you know that?"

Anyway, there is nothing wrong, I chatted with Ban Xia.

Ban Xia nodded, and really started to say, "It's nothing, you see that others have half a piece of pork left, you have a whole head, so it's a rush, the pig's blood hasn't coagulated yet, and... ...Only you know that pig blood can be eaten, right?"

Seeing her mysterious appearance, Butcher Zhang burst out laughing.

"Well, it's a bit tricky. The little girl really wants to buy meat?"

Ban Xia naturally nodded, wandering around for a long time, not buying meat, what to buy, "Uncle, I want eight catties of meat, cut it up like this for me, this pig has not been touched, it is considered open, can you give me some add head?"

Butcher Zhang didn't hesitate, pointing at the pile of broken bones, "If that's the case, it's yours!"

Those bones don't have much meat, but in Ban Xia's eyes, they are still edible, so it's good to use them for stewing soup.

She nodded, but pointed to the pile that was still in the wooden tub, "Uncle, can you give this to me by the way?"

A small face turned into a smile, but what was pointed at here was the internal organs that hadn't been tidied up.

Yuan Guang was dumbfounded when he saw the big square piece of meat, why did Ban Xia ask someone for these useless pieces?

When Butcher Zhang saw that pot of pig liver, pig lungs and pig intestines, nobody wanted them all, "little girl, I picked out all the pig heart and pig belly, and the rest are not tasty. If you want them, Just take it, and then don’t blame me.”

Ban Xia was overjoyed, "Of course not."

Ever since, when 120 Wenhua went out, there were eight catties of meat in Yuanguang's burden, as well as the pot of pig blood that was still solidifying, and the pig liver, lungs and intestines washed out of the wooden basin, half Xia is very satisfied.

Yuan Guang felt uneasy, "Ban Xia, you don't give me any other money, now I only have a few pennies left, what should I do?"

Ban Xia seemed to be okay, "Brother, there are glutinous rice, radish, tofu and so on at home, and this piece of meat is almost enough."

Turning his head, he went to the shop to get some things like pepper, pepper, cinnamon, and the copper plate in his hand. He threw it out without warming it up.

When the siblings returned home, they saw Mrs. Li wiping radish shreds, bowed their heads and said nothing.

Mrs. Zhou said some sour words at the side, but was stared back by Mrs. Li, she muttered and left.

Mrs. Li looked up at Banxia, ​​opened the small basket and saw the pile of meat, froze for a moment, then laughed again, "It's okay, just put it in."

Banxia knew that Mrs. Li might have misunderstood, she didn't care, she closed the door by herself and was messing around there.

Instructing Gu Ya'er to turn around, Li Shi was a little funny outside, "This is a needle and a thread, what is your sister doing?"

Gu Ya'er wrinkled her little nose, "I don't know, it looks delicious."

Ban Xia was in the house, and made the blood sausage, and washed the bones at the far end, and threw them into the pot to cook. According to Ban Xia's request, only about two catties of the meat were left, and the rest Six catties, all thrown in.

As if thinking of something, Yuan Guang's eyes lit up, "Ban Xia, should we still make the pork belly from before? It can make people want to swallow their tongues."

Ban Xia shook her head, "Brother, if you make that, the meat won't be enough. You'll have to make a bowl on New Year's Eve, and after that, you'll have to eat one or two meals a day, adding up to a dozen meals, one meal Only half a catty of meat is not enough to fit between the teeth, besides, there can't be only one dish with meat, right?"

It really is.

Yuan Guang was even more puzzled, "Then the meat is all boiled, and you asked your mother to chop up the rest, isn't it more unbearable, and it will look even less delicious?"

Ban Xia chuckled, and had his own plans, "In this way, we will have three or four catties of meat for a meal, plus the surrounding food, brother, just wait for others to say we are good!"

He couldn't say anything else, Yuan Guang naturally didn't ask any more.

After the blood sausage is cooked, the whole courtyard is filled with the smell of meat and bones.

I don't know what happened just now, but Mr. Zhou didn't come out to make trouble.

In such a cold winter day, the meat can be kept for a few days after it is cooked and put away.

Because of the Chinese New Year, the tofu at home is also sold. I brought some by myself. Pinellia carefully spread the pieces on the sieve, and then went out and used a leaf to fold it into a small circle, and dug it out on the white and tender tofu. Small holes one by one.

This time, even Mrs. Li didn't know what Banxia was doing, so naturally she didn't ask any more questions, and she didn't have time either.

Pinellia pinellia is used to this kind of work. There is meat in everything like stuffed meat, but the meat stuffing is rarely used. When the time comes, the taste will be better, and there will be meat to eat. I can also get past it.

Put the dug tofu in a bowl, fill it with meat stuffing little by little, cover it with tofu paste, fry it in a pan until it is browned on both sides, and put it in a pot one by one.

By the way, everyone in the family ate one or two, and Li's heart was finally put into his stomach.

In the blink of an eye, it is New Year's Eve, and there is a sense of joy everywhere.

Ban Xia's family cut a plate of blood sausage, and Li Shi used the cassava flour obtained from Ban Xia, fried a ball together with shredded radish and minced meat, and the rest was stuffed with Ban Xia's tofu. The same seems to have meat, but in fact there is nothing in it.

Mr. Su is also satisfied.

In this way, the New Year passed peacefully.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yuan Guang took Ban Xia to kowtow to Gu Ya'er and Yuan Chen to pay New Year's greetings, and the Mint Yuan Wu on the other side naturally joined them.

But everyone got a red envelope wrapped in red paper, and it was also filled with a penny, Ban Xia smiled and didn't say much.

On the first day of the new year, no guests come to the door, and the New Year's Eve dinner is greasy, so it is usually enough to eat something lighter the next day. When Mrs. Li was still in her natal family, she was very good at making radish cakes, but this year she has no such intentions. Only Su The old man ordered the rice noodles to be steamed the day before, and each room shared some and ate them.

The next day is the second day of junior high school, that is, when there are guests coming to say hello, Ban Xia looks at the meat in the big iron pot, and has some concerns in her heart.

The bean sprouts made by Li Shi have also come out, so there is no problem with such a table of dishes.What's more, I have made several dishes of tofu, and the tofu at home doesn't cost much, let alone some that I haven't eaten.

However, none of the family thought that the first person to come was not a guest.

The first person to enter the yard was the eldest son of the third grandfather's family. Banxia was going to be called Sanbo, and his face was full of anxiety. Seeing Banxia and Mrs. Li who were still busy in the yard, he blurted out, "Banxia, ​​you Dad let the Yamen people take it away!"

The spoon in Mrs. Li's hand fell into the oil pan with a thud.
