The Fiery Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 55, Stewing Goose in Iron Pot
After paying the wages of the Yan brothers, it's okay for the time being. Let's go back to the Silly Pillar House to pack up our own bedrolls.

So he closed the door of his room and walked slowly towards the middle courtyard.

As a result, I went back to Shazhu's house and saw that my bed was all made up.

Even his clothes were hung up and daily necessities were neatly placed on the table.

"Brother Zhu, I'm embarrassed to have arranged them so neatly."

Li Weiguo couldn't believe that Sha Zhu was such a sloppy person, but he helped him tidy up so neatly.

Silly Zhu rolled his eyes at him and said, "I don't even take care of my own, so I can clean it for you? Your wife will take care of it for you."

Speaking of which, he was full of resentment and his own sister didn't take care of him. Li Weiguo took care of him neatly as soon as he came. It's not fair.

Li Weiguo glared at Silly Zhu: "What do you call my wife? I'll just tease Yushui, whoever tells you that it's not a big deal, and the one who made a fuss with you, you silly Zhu misled me!"

"Hmph. Anyway, it's your own fault, and it's none of my business." Silly Zhu put on an appearance that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

Li Weiguo didn't talk to him anymore and waved his hand: "Okay, I won't talk to you. The rain is still light. Don't mention these things to her in the future. It will affect her study. The little girl is in doubt now. She might forget about it in the future. .”

Silly Zhu also knew that it was not good to intervene too much, and the rain was indeed still light. Who knows what will happen in the future, just let nature take its course.

So he shrugged his shoulders as a default.

Looking at the clock, it was eleven o'clock, and it was time to make lunch, so Sha Zhu asked, "By the way, what shall we have for lunch?"

Li Weiguo thought for a moment and said, "How about the big fat goose?"

It's been a long time since he has eaten Shazhu's handicrafts. He usually cooks secretly in the space by himself, and he hasn't eaten meat in the yard for two or three months. It shouldn't be too conspicuous to eat once now.

"Goose stewed in an iron pot?" Silhu's eyes lit up, he was also greedy.

Although the cooks don’t have to worry about eating and drinking, they are only full. If they want to eat well, that’s impossible. The good things in the warehouse have nothing to do with them. If they want to eat well, they have to spend their own money and tickets to buy them.

A big fat goose weighs more than a dozen catties at least. He, Li Weiguo and Yushui, there are only three people in total, enough to eat.

Silly Zhu's mouth watered when he thought of the smell of goose stewed in an iron pot.

Immediately urged: "Then hurry up, I will steam the steamed buns now."

"Okay, I'll go shopping now." Li Weiguo nodded, picked up his satchel, and walked outside.

Out of the yard went straight to the non-staple food store.

Of course, the non-staple food store does not sell big geese, he is here to buy wine.

After walking for 3 minutes, I arrived at the non-staple food store closest to home.

This is a subordinate unit of Jiaodaokou Supply and Marketing Cooperative. It only radiates to dozens of surrounding yards and is also very small in scale. The store, which is about [-] square meters, is similar to the canteen of later generations, and the variety of products is not large.

Walking to the counter, Li Weiguo stretched his neck and glanced at the shelves inside.

Hey, there are two bottles of Moutai.

So he took out a few fruit candies from his pocket, put them in the hands of the saleswoman, pointed to Moutai and said, "Sister, please help me get two bottles of Moutai."

Sister salesperson, look down, fruit candy is good, it can give children a sweet taste.

Smiling, he put the candy into his pocket and said, "Okay, wait a minute." Then he turned around and went to get Maotai for him.

"Two bottles of Moutai, 11 yuan, two Moutai tickets." The saleswoman pushed the bottle in front of her.

I took a look at the Moutai, hey, the "Golden Wheel" brand Kweichow Moutai from [-] was produced last year.

Good stuff, I bought it!
This thing became very popular in later generations. Li Weiguo, an ordinary citizen, had never drunk it. He happened to come across it and couldn't miss it.

Li Weiguo immediately took out the bill from his pocket and handed it to the saleswoman, then took the bill from her.

After buying Maotai, I was about to go back when I stopped. I couldn't bear to give up such a good thing. It would be such a disaster. I'd better keep it for collection and just drink it casually with Shazhu.

So he turned around and said to the saleswoman: "Sister, help me get three more bottles of Red Star. I just forgot, there are many guests at home."

The saleswoman said nothing and helped him get three more bottles of Red Star.

After paying the ticket, Li Weiguo walked back with five bottles of wine.

Walking to a corner with no one in the alley, I took Moutai directly into the regular warehouse of the space and stored it, leaving only three bottles of Red Star in my hand.

After putting away the Moutai, Li Weiguo took out a large fat goose that had been slaughtered from the static warehouse, weighing 23 catties, and packed it in a large sack.

Then he took some onions, ginger, garlic, and vegetables and put them all into a sack.

Everything is blocked by sacks, you can't see anything, and you don't worry about others running over to look at it, it's perfect.

He lifted the sack, put it on his shoulder, and walked back unsteadily.

Back at Shazhu's room, Shazhu had already steamed the steamed buns.

He put the sack on the dining table and said to Silly Zhu: "Brother Zhu, I got the stuff back and I'll leave it to you. I'll just sit back and wait to eat."

"Okay, leave it to me."

If a rich man offered food, Silly Zhu couldn't wait for it. He quickly patted his chest to promise it, and then he untied the mouth of the sack and took out the things one by one.

Onions, cabbage, romaine lettuce, green peppers, celery, onions, ginger and garlic, there are quite a few side dishes.

Finally, there was a big fat goose weighing more than 20 kilograms, which had been slaughtered clean.

"Good guy, this goose is really fat. It weighs more than 20 kilograms. It saves me all the effort to kill the goose. The old and young men in our yard will suffer today, hahahaha." He picked up the big fat goose and weighed it. Silly Zhu laughed.

Can you not suffer, once the smell of goose meat wafts up, you probably won't be able to eat, and the children in the family will not be able to live in peace.

Silly Zhu carried the big fat goose and various vegetables, put them all on the edge of the chopping board, and began to stew the big goose in the iron pot.

Li Weiguo didn't leave, just stood beside him, watching Shazhu cook.

Since I have the opportunity, I must learn two tricks, so that I can cook and eat by myself in the future, without having to find a cook everywhere.

Silly Zhu put the big fat goose on the chopping board, picked up the meat cleaver and chopped it with a bang, chopped the goose into pieces, then put the goose in cold water, put in the onion, ginger and cooking wine, and boiled the water for 10 minutes. Finally, take it out and dry it.

I took an iron pan, cleaned it, put it on the stove to heat it, poured two tablespoons of oil into the pan, waited for the oil to heat up, put in the blanched goose meat, and started to stir-fry for a few minutes to get the water out.

Add bean paste, dark soy sauce, and white wine step by step, and stir-fry until red oil is produced.Then add onion, ginger, garlic, and dried chili and sauté until fragrant.Finally, pour an appropriate amount of boiling water into the pot, cover it, and simmer over high heat for an hour.

After an hour, open the lid, add noodles, mushrooms, salt, and secret sauce, and simmer over high heat for half an hour.

After half an hour, open the lid, put in the tofu skin, green and red peppers, and simmer for 10 minutes.

Finally, open the lid and add monosodium glutamate, green onion and coriander and stir evenly. The whole stewed goose in an iron pot is considered a success.

The goose stewed in the iron pot was ready, but a group of children gathered outside the door. Children like Yan Jiekuang, Bang Gang, Yan Jiedi, Liu Guangfu and several other children were lying by the window, stretching their necks and sucking. Gas, while drooling.

Yu Yu had already been attracted by the fragrance and ran in. When she saw Li Weiguo, she was no longer shy and started sucking hard on the big iron pot.

"Well, it's really delicious."

Seeing her like this, Li Weiguo and Shazhu couldn't laugh or cry.

Shazhu patted her on the head: "Okay, don't smoke, get ready to eat, Yushui will get the bowls and chopsticks, Weiguo will bring the steamed buns for me, and I will serve the goose meat."

The three of them acted independently. Soon, Shazhu took a vegetable basin, scooped out a basin of goose meat, and put it on the dining table. There were twenty or thirty kilograms of goose meat. It was too much to eat in one sitting. So he scooped out a basin of goose meat first. Eat.

Just as it was about to start eating, none of the children outside the door left. They all gathered around the door of Shazhu, staring directly at the pot of goose meat, and their tongues almost dripped to the ground.
