Through the 80s peasant woman

Chapter 7

After making stewed pork for more than 20 days in a row, the Qin family already has a considerable income.Qin Laoshi is responsible for recording the amount of meat every day, and the money everyone puts in each time, waiting for the dividend on the last day.

Qin Dazhou picked up the [-] catties of pork he had just bought in a basket, his honest face was full of smiles.Wang Lin watched from the door, and immediately surrounded her, clapping her hands happily, "There is meat to eat, there is meat to eat."

Both Liu Yun and Li Mei went to help move the meat out of the baskets. Looking at the bright red color of the meat, they expressed their satisfaction, "The meat is really fresh."

"No, this is the pig that Old Man Liu's family just slaughtered today, and it only costs [-] cents a catty." Since the business has grown, Liu Yunwei has tried to control the cost, so he proposed to go to other villages to find out if there is any pig slaughtered during the Chinese New Year. , The meat is given early, this kind of meat is not only fresh, but also cheaper than the market.

Several people moved the meat to the kitchen, and Gao Cuihua and Qin Laoshi helped wash the meat.

After washing the meat, Qin Laoshi moved the meat to a wooden board and began to cut it into pieces. "Tomorrow will be 29. We finished all this today, and we will have a day off tomorrow to prepare for the New Year. I will divide the money tomorrow so that you can all have a good New Year."

After hearing this, several people were very happy.Who doesn't want to have money in their hands during the Chinese New Year.

Qin Dazhou smiled and said, "Success, Dad, we will all listen to you."

The meat was almost cut, and the brine was boiling. Liu Yun stirred it with a big spoon.Stirring and stirring, when she picked up the spoon, she suddenly found a mass of dusty stuff on the sister-in-law. She couldn't see the heat clearly, thinking it was the heat that she hadn't scooped up before.When I took it out, I saw that it was a dead mouse.

"Ah—" Liu Yun was so frightened that she dropped the spoon on the ground.The whole person lay on the stove next to him and retched.

Qin Laoshi and others turned to look at the movement. Li Mei was the first to see the mouse on the ground, and the expression on his face was disgusted and frightened.

Qin Dazhou and Qin Laoshi were better, but they were still very surprised by this incident.

"What's going on here, why are there mice?"

The key is how and when the mouse got in, and whether there is any problem with the meat made before.

Rats are poisonous.

Liu Yun retched for a while before recovering. Realizing that this matter was a bit serious, she also became anxious. "I usually seal it with a lid, just because I'm worried that something dirty will get in."

Li Mei also said anxiously: "Yes, I usually stay with Xiaoyun, I can guarantee that it is impossible for mice to get into this jar."

Qin Dazhou carefully looked at the mouse on the ground, and then poked it with a stick before standing up, "Dad, I saw that the mouse has not been in for a long time, and the meat is still hard. The previous meat should be fine."

"Even so, I'm still worried." Qin Laoshi frowned deeply.

"What happened?" Gao Cuihua heard the movement in the main room, and hurriedly led Liu Qiaohui and Qin Simei to come.

Li Meigang explained the matter again.When Gao Cuihua heard that a mouse had entered the jar, she cried out in shock, "What should I do? What if the meat eats people to death?"

Qin Simei secretly smiled, and then pointed at Liu Yun with a righteous face, "Mom, this woman wants to make some kind of braised pork, now it's all good, if there is something wrong with her food, won't she all go to our house for help? "

Gao Cuihua was also in a hurry at this time. She felt that what the girl said made sense, and she felt strange, "My third daughter-in-law, you can just stay at home and do your duty. Why do you need to fix these things? What should you do now?" Do it?"

"Send it to the Public Security Bureau in the town." Liu Qiaohui said coldly, "Could it be possible for her family members to take responsibility for the things she committed herself?"

"Shut up!" Qin Laoshi shouted angrily.

"I said it before I started the business. What happened was voluntary. You can't blame the third daughter-in-law. Now that something happened, everyone should bear the responsibility together. If someone really got something wrong, they should pay for it." Let's pay together, if you want to arrest someone and go to jail, let me, an old man." After Qin Laoshi yelled these words, he hunched over, feeling a few years older in an instant.

The whole family is very anxious, but they also know that it is useless now.

Qin Dazhou helped to pour out the brine in the big jar. Li Mei and Liu Yun brushed the jar again and again, and boiled it for several times.

"Sister-in-law, let's go to another house to borrow a jar, or buy it. If this jar is marinated again, I will panic."

Li Mei also felt this way, and nodded, "I'll go see if Aunt Wang's house at the head of the village has any. I remember that there was a water tank in their house before, and it's quite similar to ours."

The couple took the money and went to Mrs. Wang's house to get the pot.Liu Yun is preparing the seasoning in the kitchen.

After finishing the condiments, I found that there was no sugar in the kitchen, and I was going to find Gao Cuihua to get sugar.As soon as he went out, he saw Qin Simei sneakily pouring things into the stinky ditch.When I turned around, I happened to see Liu Yun standing at the door of the kitchen looking at herself.Feeling guilty, she roared, "What are you looking at?" Then she entered the room arrogantly.

Liu Yun frowned, and looked into the stinky ditch, only to find that it was rice.I was a little surprised, where did the leftovers come from? Even if it was leftovers, it should be poured into the pig trough to feed the pigs.

She always felt that there was something strange in her heart, but she couldn't figure it out.

When Qin Dazhou and his wife came back carrying the big pot, they happened to see Liu Yun standing at the door in a daze.

"It's winter, why are you blowing cold wind outside?"

"It's okay." When she turned her head, she happened to see the family cat jumping into the ditch to eat the leftovers.

Although I have something in my heart, I can't take care of other things when I get busy.Putting aside the thoughts in my heart for the time being, I started to repaint the pot and boil the brine.

The longer the brine is boiled, the better the taste of the meat.This newly opened brine is definitely not comparable to the previous ones. In order to ensure the quality, she and Li Mei stayed up all afternoon.In order to prevent the previous incident from happening again, the two stayed in the kitchen and looked at the jar, and didn't even leave after eating.

In the middle of the night, Qin Dazhou, his wife and Liu Yun started to put the stewed meat on the wooden board to dry.Cut a little and tasted it, the taste is almost the same as before.But if you eat carefully, you will still find something different.

Eighty catties of stewed pork was ready, and it was already dawn.The few people did not feel sleepy, and cooked porridge on the stove again, and ate it for breakfast.

When Gao Cuihua got up and went out, she saw several people packing up the baskets and preparing to deliver the goods.Because of what happened yesterday, she was always in a bad mood, and she didn't look good when she saw Liu Yun.When I came out with the basin to wash my face, I didn't talk to a few people.

As soon as I splashed the water and was about to turn around, I caught sight of the ditch from the corner of my eye and screamed in fright, "Ouch,"

When Qin Dazhou saw the movement, he also ran over to watch, only to find that his big tabby cat was lying on its back in the ditch, in a strange posture.It looked a little perverted.

"Which killer killed our cat?!" Gao Cuihua cried, "What are these things? It's Chinese New Year, what's wrong?"

Liu Yun looked at the cat in the ditch and frowned.

Li Mei helped the frightened Gao Cuihua back to the main room, Qin Dazhou was also worried, seeing that it was still early, he followed into the main room.

Qin Laoshi and the others had already heard the movement and came out of the room.

"What happened again, it's early in the morning."

Gao Cuihua cried, "Honestly, our big flower is dead."

Liu Qiaohui gloated in her misfortune, and said aside: "Since Liu Yun came in, our family has never stopped. I heard that her father died not long after birth, so it must be her fault."

"Shut up!" Qin Laoshi slapped the table heavily, with veins bursting out on his face, pointed at Liu Qiaohui and shouted: "If you say such things again, get out of this house."

It was the first time for them to see Qin Laoshi getting so angry, they didn't dare to speak, even Liu Qiaohui hid behind Qin Chunqiu.

Qin Laoshi took a few breaths before asking in a calm voice, "What's the matter?"

Liu Yun came in from the outside with a serious expression on her face. "I saw the cat eating leftovers in the ditch this morning, so I guess there is something wrong with the leftovers."

Qin Simei who was standing beside Gao Cuihua flinched and lowered her head.

Gao Cuihua wiped her tears, but she was still in a bad mood, "Nonsense, who would pour rice into the stinky ditch." Now she looked at Liu Yun a little bit angry.

Liu Yun didn't speak, and turned to look at Simei Qin, "Mom, I'm going to ask Simei about this. I saw her pour something into it this morning."

Naturally, she would not hide it for Fourth Sister Qin. Such a child must be taught a lesson.

Qin Laoshi stared at Qin Simei with a sullen face, "Simeizi, tell me what's going on. Why did Dahua die after eating the rice you poured out?"

"I, I... Dad, she was talking nonsense. I just poured it in without finishing my meal."

"Am I talking nonsense? Dad will know when he goes to see it. Dahua looks like he has been poisoned by rat poison."

Rat poison!
Everyone turned to look at Fourth Sister Qin.

There are cats and chickens in the house, so they don't know how to make rat poison. The whole family knows this truth, and it is impossible for the fourth sister not to know.

Seeing that everyone in the family was staring straight at her, Qin Simei was also scared, and explained incoherently, "I, I just saw that there were too many mice in the room, so I took some back."
