Chapter 27 Eating Meat
Why are the two foreign guests still in town?

Father Xiao watched them enter a guest house in the town, his brows were furrowed: if something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

When I returned to the village, I went directly to the village committee to find the village chief.

Hong Cun didn't know about paclitaxel yet, and he didn't care too much about the return of foreign guests: "They come when they like."

Father Xiao was worried: "Are they still thinking about the yew trees on our Xianyun Mountain?"

Hong Cun raised his eyebrows: "I have taken a fancy to our yew, so I have to sign a contract with the city."

Father Xiao guessed: "It is estimated that Secretary Zhang didn't get close to the Japanese. So they came to us again to find a way. Hongcun, we have to be careful, we can't let outsiders take advantage of the loopholes and destroy our precious resources here."

Hong Cun listened carefully.The kid Yueshan's disadvantage is that he doesn't read too much, and he has some knowledge.Before Secretary Zhang left that day, he reminded himself that he should pay attention to protecting these yew trees, which might be of great use in the future.

"Okay. I see. I will arrange a few forest guards to guard the mountain pass in the near future."

Father Xiao hesitated for a moment, and asked, "How are Gu Jinhua and the others doing now? Have you seen them return to the village?"

Hong Cun's old face sank: "Isn't it too embarrassing to kowtow to your family and pay you 1000 yuan, so I dare not come back." Hong Cun lit a cigarette, "Just wait, they will sooner or later I have to come and beg you to raise your hand high."

Daddy Xiao smiled: "Just apologize and lose money. Kowtow to make amends is something that makes Mei young and angry talk nonsense. If dozens of them, big and small, come to kowtow, we can't stand it. "

Hong Cun nodded: "Okay. I understand. You can go back at ease."

Father Xiao came home with a big basket of meat.

Guixiang was dumbfounded, and she was so distressed that she wanted to cry: "I asked you to buy some meat-wrapped wontons, but I didn't ask you to buy so many!"

"You look too much, but you can't actually eat a few meals." Father Xiao took out the large intestine, "wash it and send it to my mother. She has old stew, please help us clean it. The rest of the meat, let's eat slowly."

"This is really, really—" Gui Xiang stomped her feet, "If you have any money, you spend it carelessly."

"It's only natural for me to spend my daughter's money." Father Xiao got along with Ling Mei.

Guixiang endured and endured: "It is true that Lingmei earned the money, but since it is returned to the public, it belongs to our family. In the future, it is not allowed to be so extravagant."

After speaking, without waiting for her husband to answer, she took the meat back to the kitchen and hid it.

Father Xiao yelled: "Put pork belly with ten eggs and braise in soy sauce."

Guixiang stomped her foot and said angrily, "I just gave all the eggs to Dr. Zhu yesterday. Where did you get the eggs today?"

Father Xiao immediately said: "Cut a piece of suet, divide it into two catties of ribs, and I'll send it to my parents."

Guixiang really wants to cry: the prime rib has lost two catties!
Father Xiao also took five or six large tomatoes from the kitchen, which Lingmei picked later, and brought them to his younger brother's house together.

Wang Xiulian's eyes straightened: What's wrong with the elder brother's house?Is it possible to make a fortune?

Xiao Yuanliang and his wife were very happy.The eldest son and the others are born, and they will never forget them if they eat delicious food, so filial piety!
Father Xiao smiled and said: "Mother, there are five large intestines here, let me use the old stew in your hand to marinate them for me."

Seeing that the large intestine was fat and fresh enough, Xu Lanfang said with a smile on his face, "Okay. I'll charge interest when it's done."

Father Xiao grinned: "You can take whatever you want." He explained, "The money to buy the meat was obtained by Lingmei looking for wild Poria cocos on the mountain."

Xu Lanfang and his wife looked at each other in surprise: "Fu Ling? This kid is lucky."

"Isn't it? There's nothing to say about Lingmei's luck." Father Xiao was very proud of his daughter. "She also picked these tomatoes from the mountain. They are so sweet. If you like them, let Lingmei pick some more and send them to you when Lingmei is free on the weekend."

Xu Lanfang nodded straight.All good stuff, she could tell.

Father Xiao rubbed his hands, and said embarrassedly: "Mom, the eggs just happened to be gone at home. Can you lend me ten?"

Xu Lanfang glared at him: "What are you talking about borrowing or not? Just take it."

She touched a dozen or so eggs for him and said, "You have made a good start this year. This year must be smooth and prosperous, with plenty of money."

Xiao Pai brought the eggs back home, and Gui Xiang's complexion became better.

Father Xiao taught her: "Lingmei said, boil the eggs, peel the shells, cut a few knives, put them in the meat and cook them together. It tastes good."

"understood."

"Tiger eggs are also fine. Do you know how to cook tiger eggs? The kind that are fried in oil until the egg skin wrinkles."

Guixiang rolled her eyes: "It hasn't been burned. Let your daughter do it herself to honor you."

Father Xiao laughed.

Thinking about today's dinner, his mouth is watering.

When the children got home from school, it immediately caused a sensation.

They have never seen so much meat during Chinese New Year!
The casserole was served on the table, full of sharp chunks of braised pork, fat and thin, shiny and trembling.The aroma is strong and tangy.The eggs covered in gravy are all oily and more attractive than meat.

Gui Xiang didn't wait for the children to move their chopsticks and said, "One piece of meat and one egg per person. I'm tired of eating too much at night."

Ling Hui grabbed the biggest piece of meat and ate it in one bite. From the skin to the fat and then to the lean meat, it was fat but not greasy, with a moderate amount of saltiness and sweetness.Supremely delicious!
Ling Yun prefers to eat eggs, and feels that the eggs absorb the taste of meat and taste better than meat.

Ling Mei is also very satisfied, Luo Guixiang's handicraft fans are good, and the idea of ​​developing her culinary skills is more determined.

After Ling Hui ate two bowls of rice, he didn't listen to his mother's advice. He not only ate an extra piece of meat, but also mixed the rice with gravy.Guixiang glared at him and said nothing.Ling Yun and Yue Shan received the letter, they exchanged glances, and stretched their chopsticks towards the small casserole again.

Guixiang gets annoyed and declares first, but only Lingmei is the most obedient.In a fit of anger, he stuffed a piece of meat into his daughter's bowl, and said in a breathless voice, "Eat. Why do men eat so much and let's eat less? Eating everything counts!"

Ling Mei glanced at her, a little dumbfounded.

This meal really ate up all the braised pork in a casserole.

In fact, two catties of pork belly is not much after it is cooked. Fortunately, there are eggs to make up for it.

After the meal, Lingmei washed the dishes in the kitchen.Father Xiao looked around and said to her, "I went to town today and met those two foreign guests."

Ling Mei was startled, and raised her head: "They didn't leave?"

"Live in an ordinary guest house." Father Xiao frowned, "Tell me, are they still thinking about the yew on our mountain?"

Ling Mei patiently wiped the washed bowls and chopsticks with a clean cotton cloth: "Is there any agreement with Secretary Zhang?"

"I think so too."

Lingmei remembered the catastrophe suffered by Yew in her previous life, she clenched the cotton cloth tightly, her face seemed to be smiling, but there was no smile on her face. "This matter should be shared with the villagers. Let everyone know the preciousness of the yew, and we can't let a little money be deceived."

Father Xiao frowned: "There is no definite news from Secretary Zhang. We have nothing to say. In case the two Japanese buy yew at a high price of four or five yuan a catty, all the yews on our mountain will The bark of the tree is kept in pieces."

Isn't it? !

Rather than saying that Father Xiao understands the villagers, it is better to say that he understands human nature too well.

"It's not just our side. The yews grow in other places too. Once foreigners bid to buy them, all the yews in the whole country will suffer." Ling Mei frowned, "So this matter must be known to the people of the whole country."

Father Xiao was in a hurry: "Secretary Zhang said he was going to seek proof, why hasn't there been any news yet?"

Ling Mei comforted him: "There is nothing we can do if we are in a hurry. Father, you can go to the village chief tomorrow and tell him the details. Let him go and ask if there is any progress on Secretary Zhang's side."

Father Xiao nodded: "I understand."
