Chapter 314 Uninvited guests, Gu Qiao's plan
I actually discussed this issue last night, but Mei Chongling insisted on going back.
Today, when slaughtering pigs, the villagers came to help mainly to eat this slaughtering rice, so it is hard to say anything, but in fact, they are not very friendly to Mei Chongling and Wu Xiulan.
If Mei Chongling and others come back during the Chinese New Year, I am afraid that the villagers will feel bad. After all, Mei Chongling is a person who was kicked out of the village.
"My mother-in-law, don't be so polite. I still have to go back for the New Year. After all, the ancestors of the Mei family are still waiting for me to serve food. If I spend this together, how can I explain to the ancestors? I will appreciate your kindness."
Mrs. Gu sighed, and then said with a tough attitude: "Okay, I won't talk about the New Year, but you must wait until we get the New Year dishes out, so you can't let your father and daughter spend the cold this year."
Mei Chongling opened his mouth and met Mrs. Gu's persistent eyes, but he didn't know what to say.
Mrs. Gu immediately turned around and ordered Chen Zhao: "Zhaoer, after tying up the sausages, I will go to Meijia Village to invite your uncle and others, saying that he would come to our house to drink with your uncle."
"Okay!" Chen Zhao responded immediately.
Gu Qiao also laughed.
However, in a year, the relationship between Mei Chongling and their family has been completely improved. The two families are as intimate as the family. Thinking that Mei Chongling has the adopted daughter Wu Xiulan, who is finally no longer alone, Gu Qiao couldn't help but be happy.
After a while, she peeled the eggs.
"Grandma, did I put it in directly?" she asked Mrs. Gu.
"Don't!" Mrs. Gu hurriedly walked up to stop her, afraid that she would pour the eggs in.
Gu Qiao stopped and looked at her in confusion.
Mrs. Gu hurriedly explained: "There are some specialties in brine, such as tofu, the worst brine; if you want the aroma of brine, you need to braise duck. Although I don't know what the eggs will be like, I'm still more cautious. Put some brine in a while and braise them separately. After all, this is a good brine, so don't break it, it's a pity."
"Oh." Gu Qiao suddenly realized and nodded quickly.
Then her eyes lit up, "Hey, yes, you can also braised tofu! Braised tofu grandma!"
"Yes." Mrs. Gu immediately reacted and said, "The tofu I pushed the day before yesterday is still left. I was afraid it would be broken. I didn't want to push the tofu during the Chinese New Year, so I fried them. Now I can just take some for braising."
After saying that, she was a little excited and muttered, "The lard in the pot should be almost cold. I'll put it in the jar now, and then we use this pot to braise it!"
As for the New Year, you have to cook all kinds of delicious food, which is what it means to celebrate the New Year in a lively manner.
He did it right away. Mrs. Gu immediately found a jar to wash and dry it, and then scooped the refined lard into it.
The temperature is extremely high when the pork is refined. Putting it directly into the jar may cause the jar to heat and explode, so you must wait until the hot oil cools before scooping it in.
Then she carefully placed the oil jar into the cabinet.
These two jars of oil are big treasures, and they will have to rely on them in the future.
After the preparation was done, she rekindled Gu Qiao, then scooped the braised soup into the pot, then waited for the braised soup to boil, and immediately added braised eggs and tofu and simmered over medium heat.
"Grandma, what other New Year's dishes do we need to cook?" Gu Qiao was curious.
Mei Chongling will definitely not be able to wait for the marinated meat and sausages. Even her family may not be able to eat it on the New Year's Day, so what else is her grandmother planning to do?
"Salt and vegetable buckles and millet crumbs." Mrs. Gu raised her eyebrows.
Gu Qiao saw that Mrs. Gu no longer felt novel about salted vegetables and pork. But this millet shit…
"What is this?" asked Mrs. Gu.
"It's similar to steamed pork, but it's sweet."
While talking, Mrs. Gu turned around and went to the door panel and brought a piece of pork belly about one finger wide and one foot long.
The pork belly grew very well, with fat and thinness. After counting it, it actually had four or five layers.
Mrs. Gu stirred the braised pork in the pot, and then took advantage of the gap to get the chopping board and kitchen knife and start cutting the meat.
After cutting half of it, she reached out and stirred the braised meat so that the meat or medicine bag stuck to the bottom of the pot should not stick to the pan.
This is not delayed, and her pork belly is cut when the braised pork is about to be put into the pot.
Mrs. Gu immediately took a basin and a basin, put the basin on the stove, then put the basin on the wooden basin, then scooped up the braised meat and put it in the basin.
The braised soup on the braised pork flows down and drains it into the wooden basin through a basket.
After a while, all the braised pork was put on the pot, and the braised eggs and tofu from Gu Qiao were also boiled to taste.
Gu Qiao retreated the firewood and couldn't wait to walk towards her braised eggs, his eyes lit up.
Fortunately, the sausages on Mei and the others were also filled, so Gu Qiao couldn't help but cut the eggs and asked everyone to taste them.
"You kid, cut the braised pork, how can you make eggs for everyone to eat!" Mrs. Gu said angrily.
"Oh." Gu Qiao hurriedly cut the meat again.
It’s not that she can’t bear to give up braised pork, but that she is worried about braised eggs in her heart and eagerly wants to share them with everyone.
"Stop cutting, cut it for a while and eat it after we have enough food?" Mei Chongling quickly dissuaded.
"Oh, let's try it first, cut it." Mrs. Gu shouted.
"Oh, it's so lively, I'm sorry to be late." A male voice suddenly rang at the door.
Gu Qiao turned around and saw Luo Hong's disgusting face.
The kitchen was in a strange silence for a moment, and everyone's movements seemed to be frozen and no one spoke.
Wu Xiulan also stopped the embroidery work on her hands and frowned slightly at the man who appeared at the door.
"It smells so good? Oh, this is made braised pork. Xiaopang was just shouting on the way that he was hungry. Xiaopang, your grandma has cooked you for food, go quickly." Luo Hong said to Luo Xiaopang sideways.
"Braised pork! I want to eat it!" Luo Xiaopang was not a polite person. He immediately ran to the shoji that had been filled with braised pork, pointed to the pig's ear and said, "I want to eat this."
Mrs. Gu frowned and said softly: "I'll cut you a piece of meat. This pig's ear is to serve wine for your sister Qiaoer's uncle and uncle."
"Oh, there is also wine to drink. Auntie is so polite. It seems we have a good time tonight." Luo Hong replied with a smile.
Gu Pozi forced himself to fight him out and said, "Oh, you see, the family is in a mess, I'm afraid I can't clean it up at night. By the way, why did you delay until now? The family was so busy in the morning and they don't have time now. I've eaten the pig slaughtering rice. If you arrive so late, can you come to drive the pig today? By the way, the pigs are also fattened."
The implication is that if you come to eat pig slaughtering rice, you won’t come to help in the morning. Now that you are here so late, you will no longer have the food from your house, so we will not entertain you.
The pigs are also feeding you the New Year, so don’t think about free meals, hurry up and drive the pigs back.
Although she felt sorry for the pig, it was an agreement between the two families. At this time, Mrs. Gu only wanted to drive the three of them away, otherwise she would not be able to eat tonight.
"Grandma, your pigs are killed, and we haven't eaten your pigs killed rice!" Luo Xiaopang spoke.
"I've eaten the pig-killing rice for lunch. Who do you blame if you come late?" Gu Qiao rolled his eyes.
I have already asked you to have a free meal, but you didn't come by yourself. Now I'm still like collecting debts. You think everyone is stupid.
Luo Hong said as if he couldn't see her eyes rolling, "Today, the village tribe killed pigs in his hometown, but he didn't want to help, so he delayed it. Now he is indeed here to drive the pigs. He has to drive the pigs back before the New Year to sell them at a good price. But since she has come, her aunt hasn't seen two children for a long time and is worried about them, so she naturally has to reminisce about the past."
After saying that, he looked at Shen.
Shen walked up with a embarrassed expression and whispered to Chen Wan, who was standing by the floor stove, and asked in a low voice: "Xiaowan, are you doing well?"
Chen Wan shrank and did not move for a while. Even Wu Xiulan saw something was wrong.
Gu Qiao even clenched his fists.
This is not a reminiscence. It just wants to wait until dinner order, and then go back after dinner!
What’s even more disgusting is that he actually used Chen Wan and Shen Zhao as excuses!
Shameless!
And Gu Qiao could guess that the couple must have planned to have a pork meal at Luo Qing’s house in Luojia Village at noon and come to her house for another meal in the afternoon. After that, her house doesn’t have to help with work, and she can take away a pig after eating.
Look, how well this abacus is.
Gu Qiao was so angry that he felt that it would be fine if the family had eaten for the autumn harvest last time. If they were to let it go this time, I don’t know how thick their faces would be in the future.
She immediately quietly left the kitchen and went to the back of the granary.
Xiao Tuanzi, the follower, naturally followed her.
"Little Tuanzi, next, you have to do me a favor, okay?" Gu Qiao squatted down, rubbed Xiao Tuanzi's head, and preached to it.
As she said that, she bent down and muttered to Xiaotuanzi for a long time.
After saying that, he stood up again, pointed to the pigpen, and gestured for a long time.
"Do you understand?" she asked Xiaotuanzi quickly.
"Aowu." Xiao Tuanzi raised his chin.
"That's up to you! By the way, don't show up later, otherwise you will be exposed. Do you understand? Please!"
"Aowu." Xiao Tuanzi looked arrogant, then turned around and jumped out, then stepped to the edge of the vegetable garden a few steps, and then entered the back mountain.
Chapter completed!
