Chapter 136 Pig head braised(1/2)
"Qingshan, why don't you call and ask?"
The old branch secretary was also in a hurry to buy a TV. If he didn't buy it, his two grandsons would make a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, and the Jade Emperor in his family would be almost unable to stop him.
Of course, Liu Qingshan also wanted to help everyone, first to enrich the lives of the villagers, and secondly, to relieve the pressure on his grandfather's family.
I'm crowding all over the room to watch TV every day. This kind of experience is OK for a day or two. After a long time, I will get tired of it.
So without saying a word, he called Director Zhou of the county's Commercial Bureau using the village phone number.
When Director Zhou came over there to answer the phone, he heard that Liu Qingshan wanted to buy a few TVs, Director Zhou naturally agreed.
A few TV tickets were easy for him.
But for the villagers in Jiapigou, it was a great event. Everyone gave a thumbs up and praised Liu Qingshan for being capable.
So he set the tone and drove the Great Liberation tomorrow and went to the county town to buy TVs together.
The people in the team finally dispersed. Everyone had smiles on their faces and money in their pockets, and they felt a little light when walking.
When Liu Qingshan returned home, it was already dark. When the lanterns on the lantern poles in the yard illuminated the yard.
I saw the two old men, Grandpa and Grandpa Wang, who were in the yard, were burning pig heads. The fourth and fifth brothers were also squatting beside him, working hard or causing trouble.
Liu Shikui set up a few bricks, burned wood inside, placed the pig's head and pig's claws on the bricks, and burned the black and black with fire.
There was a faint burnt fragrance floating in the yard.
"Master, after eating pig's claws, don't forget to keep Galaha for us."
The fourth little brother has already started to think about the big Galaha inside the big pig's hooves. The head is much bigger than the sheep's crutch, and there are other ways to play.
Liu Qingshan picked up the hook, hooked the pig's nose, and helped turn the pig's head.
The surface of the pig's head is squeaking with oil. After the scorching is finished, put it in warm water and use a knife to scrape off the charred areas on the surface to remove the smell of oil and sludge, and then you can put it in the pot.
Liu Qingshan felt that the food at this time was delicious, but because it was not eaten frequently, it only took one meal a year. So it would be strange if you didn’t taste it carefully?
Another reason is also related to doing things yourself. When you eat something you make by yourself, you will definitely feel that it is different from the finished product you bought.
This year, I divided the three sets of head hoofs into the water. In addition to leaving one set to eat after February 2, the remaining two big pig heads, eight pig hoofs, and two pig tails were all put on, and I didn't even put a pot of it.
One of them was a pig's head, and grandfather was preparing to make a pig's head braised pork. This was definitely a good dish for wine. Even Professor Wang followed him excitedly and worked hard.
When he was delivered, he ate the pork head stewed pork and still remembered it.
Liu Qingshan couldn't make a good stew of pig heads, so his grandfather had to do it himself.
He cut the pig's head in half, put it into the pot and cooked it, cut the pig's ears alone, and also the pig's tongue and pig's tongue were all taken out separately.
Pig's tongue is just a small strip, which is actually the upper chamber of the pig, that is, the upper palate, which is composed of crisp bones and tastes crunchy.
However, these things are limited, and adults are afraid that children will follow suit, so many arguments have been passed down:
What are the things that make you unable to write well when eating chicken claws, what are the things that will rain when eating chicken heads, how to eat pig tails, etc., the little kids are very depressed and can't eat anything.
Take the cooked pork head into a basin, remove the bone while it is hot, then spread the dried tofu outside, then wrap it tightly in gauze and roll it into a meat cartridge.
The wrapped meat cartridge must be pressed with heavy objects, so that the excess grease can be slowly pressed out so that it will not get greasy when it tastes good.
After pressing for a full night, the pork head meat can be completely condensed into one, full of elasticity, dipped in some garlic paste, tasted strong and fragrant without greasiness.
After helping grandpa with pig heads and pig claws into the pot, Liu Qingshan then entered the house, took out a few stacks of money, and then began to distribute it.
"Sister, this is your money for selling white chickens."
"This is Master's money, mom, you can save it first."
"This is the money we have paid for, mom, let it go to you first."
"This is my sister's dividend money. Mom, let it go to you first!"
"etc!"
Yang Hongying rushed to Liu Qingshan, staring at him with big eyes, black and white, and said, "Sanfeng'er, don't you have to save my money to my godmother, right?"
Liu Qingshan blinked his eyes and said slowly: "You are different from my elder sister. She has already started a family. You are not married yet. According to our rules, a daughter who has not married must pay for money to make."
Lin Zhi also knew that Sanfeng was joking with Yang Hongying, so she handed over her dividend.
Yang Hongying counted carefully and found that there were more than 500 people, and he was immediately so happy that he smiled:
"Qingshan, who can do carpenter work in the village? It's just that the winter vacation is now, and the school doesn't have classes. I can make some desks and chairs, and I'll pay for the wages and materials."
This old sister is really generous. Liu Qingshan gave her a thumbs up: "Sister, you don't have to worry about this. The old branch secretary has arranged for Zhang Duozi and his family to do it, and the money is derived from the public accumulation of the cooperative."
Then, he laughed twice again: "Sister, this money is better to keep it for your own dowry."
Obviously, he said this and was not dealt with. Seeing that Yang Hongying was about to take action, Liu Qingshan quickly picked up another stack of money: "Shan Xing, this is your dividend money."
When Shan Xing took over a stack of great unification, she was a little stunned: "Brother, I can't seem to be able to hold my piggy bank!"
The old four next to him lit up his eyes: "It's okay, I'll share half of it and put it in my jar. Just remember Shanxing clearly."
Looking at the two little girls, you were all in the penny, Liu Qingshan's mouth couldn't help but slightly upturned.
...
The next morning, it was already the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and I ate bean buns and steamed buns in the morning, as well as corn crumbs and rice.
In addition to the pickles, there is also a plate of crystal clear pig heads on the table.
Grandpa also asked Shanxing to boil a pot of wine, and pinched a small wine cup with Professor Wang, picked up a trembling pig's head stew, and took a small sip of soybean wine. The two brothers' faces were red. This little life was so happy.
Liu Qingshan also ate a few slices of pork head stewed rice. Grandpa’s skills are really good. The excess oil in the pig head stewed rice is pressed out, which is fat but not greasy, so delicious!
Before he could finish his meal, someone came to him and asked him to buy a TV in the county.
When we arrived at the team headquarters, the Great Liberation had already started and the carriages were filled with people.
In addition to those who buy TVs, some people are also planning to go to the county to purchase other items.
Liu Qingshan also started his jeep, and the two cars slowly left Jiapigou and headed straight for Bishui County.
When we arrived at the county town, we parked the car directly at the winery, and the people dispersed, leaving only those who bought TVs.
Liu Qingshan first threw a small basket of eggs to Lao Li of the winery, and then drove a jeep to Lao Zhou of the Commercial Bureau to get the TV ticket.
A small basket of eggs was also left, and then he returned to the winery and led the villagers to hurried to the hardware and electronic store in the county, which belonged to this store.
He handed the TV ticket to Captain Zhang, and he drove to the county government again, preparing to leave a basket of eggs for Zheng Hongqi.
After all, this month, eggs are considered fresh, and ordinary chicks are still resting in their nests. However, they have only started laying eggs one after another after another in the first month.
Even if you have money, you have no place to buy it.
When I asked Lao Sun at the door, I realized that the government had already had a holiday, and the leader on duty was still on duty.
"Then County Mayor Zheng is going home for the New Year?"
Liu Qingshan asked again, he knew that Zheng Hongqi was not a local, and he didn't know which person he was. He had never talked about this issue.
Lao Sun thought for a while and said, "It seems that he is still in the guesthouse. You go and take a look. Can you still report to me about the county magistrate's affairs?"
"Aren't you always in charge of the county magistrate and secretary? If you don't open the door, they won't be able to enter the courtyard."
Liu Qingshan joked with the old man, and amid the other party's laughter and scolding, he went to the guesthouse again.
He was also a regular customer here. He found a waiter and asked, saying that County Mayor Zheng had not left and seemed to be planning to go home for the New Year.
It shouldn't be. Your county magistrate devoted himself to work, and some people said, "But don't you have a sister?"
With doubt, Liu Qingshan knocked on Zheng Hongqi's door, right next to Zheng Xiaoxiao's room.
Zheng Xiaoxiao opened the door. When she saw Liu Qingshan carrying an egg basket, she was obviously stunned: "Stubborn... Why are you here?"
Zheng Hongqi, who was sitting on the bed reading the newspaper, also stood up and greeted him with a smile: "It's Qingshan here, welcome."
Then he complained to his sister: "Xiaoxiao, your classmate is here, why don't you invite the guests into the house quickly? By the way, what did you want to say just now?"
Zheng Xiaoxiao flashed her big eyes twice: "I feel very surprised, Liu Qingshan, please come in."
Liu Qingshan, who thought something was wrong, grabbed his head, and didn't think much about it. After entering the house, he put the basket on the ground:
"This is the laying hen raised by my elder sister. I have started laying eggs and I will try it for County Mayor Zheng."
Zheng Hongqi smiled twice: "Qingshan, don't call the county magistrate in private, call me Brother Zheng or Brother Hongqi."
While the two were chatting, Zheng Xiaoxiao washed a few Guoguang apples and brought them over.
At this time, there were only a few apples such as Guoguang and Marshal Huang.
Of course, Liu Qingshan is not polite. He picked up one and chewed it. It tasted sour and sweet, very good.
The most important thing is that if you don’t wax the apples at this time, you can feel at ease when eating them.
After chatting for a while, Liu Qingshan called Brother Zheng.
Maybe it's the New Year, and Zheng Hongqi's mood is quite complicated and wants to find someone to talk to, so he talked a lot to Liu Qingshan, many of which are about the situation at home.
Liu Qingshan finally learned that Zheng Hongqi was also from the capital, and his elders all ended in an unjustly manner during that special period.
This kind of thing is not uncommon at the moment, and Liu Qingshan couldn't say anything, so he could only comfort him: "Brother Zheng, our hearts should always yearn for the future, right?"
Zheng Hongqi looked at the little guy between the young man in front of him, but as if facing an old friend who had been with him for many years, and his heart seemed to be relieved all of a lot.
