From Cultivator to Widow

Pig red pigs give water to the villagers, and the pork is cut into pieces, according to the work points, and the order is drawn in advance.

I don't give you a choice. I can choose which one I get. Su An is lucky. Two-thirds of the meat she gets is fat. This can make a lot of lard. There is no vegetable oil, and meat oil is fine.

Zhao Xialan's luck is also good. After praying for so long, she won a piece of pork belly, half fat and half thin, and she couldn't be happy. She kept thanking the gods and Buddhas in her heart - this is not allowed now.

Li Manfen's luck was not so good. She was given a pork rib and pork leg. She didn't have the fat she liked. She sighed for a long time. Looking at Zhao Xialan and her second daughter-in-law happily, she rolled her eyes, turned her head and went back. .

On this day, the smell of meat is floating in every household.

Zhang Baoguo looked at the pile of meat and asked Su An: "Mom, what do we do delicious?"

Zhang Weiguo swallowed: "I want to eat meatballs."

Zhang Dingguo hugged Su An's thigh: "I want to eat meat dregs."

Well, this piece of meat has been arranged clearly.

…

The pigs in the village have been slaughtered, and the next step is to raise them by the villagers. The villagers are not allowed to slaughter in private. of.

Zhang Baoguo had been feeding the pig before the family split, and it didn't stop until the family split.

Zhang Gen asked Zhang Quan to bring over a few catties of meat, along with a piece of pork red, a few large bones, and a plate into the water.

Zhang Gen was a little embarrassed, because there was really no fat on the meat, and the meat was not so shabby originally, but was replaced by his wife.

Su An's face was normal, this was a surprise, and she still prefers to eat lean meat. As for whether she minds this, she will have a lot of opportunities to return it in the future.

These meats cannot be stored for a long time. The climate here is not like the north. If you take them outside, it is a natural refrigerator. If they want to store them for a long time, they can only marinate them, or make them into bacon and sausages.

Once it's done, it can be dried in the sun, and it can be stored for a whole year. The festivals and guests in the next year will rely on these bacon sausages.

Su Fen didn't plan to make bacon and sausages by herself. It was such a hassle to use this little meat. She took the mustard seed space and adjusted the formation, and she could freeze them into ice cubes directly.

When Zhao Xialan came over with a pot of tofu, she saw Su An in the kitchen chopping minced meat, Zhang Baoguo and Zhang Weiguo doing their homework, the two little ones snuggling together and reading the same little book, which made her amazed for two. Sheng: "You guys are so good, unlike my stinky boy who can't sit still at home at all."

Su An came out of the kitchen to take the tofu from her hand. Not everyone knows how to make tofu. Zhao Xialan will make it from her parents' family. Before she got married, she learned a little bit. During the New Years and festivals, she would weigh some beans to make it. A cage of tofu will relieve cravings.

Su An gave her two catties of beans before and asked her to help make them together.

Su An sighed: "Why did you send it here? I said I'll go to your house to get it later."

Hi Zhao Xialan: "It's okay, I want to come out and get some air, I've been busy at home all morning." She looked at the minced meat made by Su An and pinched it.

"Your stuffing is good." There are mushrooms and yuba.

"Where did you get your shiitake mushrooms?" She would make yuba herself, and Su An also gave them.

Su An gave her a hand: "I bought it in the town before."

"Sure, I'll take it, I'll go back first." Zhao Xialan didn't refuse, their relationship was not enough to push a few shiitake mushrooms around. Now when I go back, I'll chop up the shiitake mushrooms and add them to the minced meat, I'm sure will be more fragrant.

For the Chinese New Year, they basically make tofu, stuffed tofu, dried tofu, tofu sticks, any kind of bean curd. They can't be without it on the table, and then they have a pot of meatballs and a fish every year. This is the A sumptuous New Year's meal.

Su An finished the Yong tofu. Although it was a little raw, at the beginning, the tofu would not be lumpy, but it took on a shape afterward. It was square and made rapid progress.

Zhang Baoguo stopped doing his homework, and helped with the package, while Zhang Weiguo was in charge of burning the fire.

Zhang Baoguo carefully stuffed tofu: "Mom, you are going up the mountain tomorrow, take me with you, I can also help."

Su An glanced at his height: "Wait when you grow up, and then follow me into the mountains." She planned to go deeper, and if she was in danger, she could hide in the mustard space at any time.

She looked at him, her eyes fixed: "don't sneak in by yourself, there are wild boars in the mountains, and there are wolves in the deepest places."

Although there are no more ferocious beasts than the cultivation world, but for ordinary people, encountering wild boars is enough to eat a pot.

Zhang Baoguo puffed out his mouth a little unwillingly and stopped talking.

Su An looked amused, if it wasn't for the inconvenience, she would have touched his hair.

"You are growing up now, eat more, grow up quickly, and soon you can go into the mountains with me."

When Zhang Baoguo heard this, his bulging mouth shrunk: "...Mom, should we save a little?"

The staple food between them on the grandparents’ side is sweet potatoes, and a few grains of square rice are also added to suit the occasion, but after the separation, a small bowl of rice is cooked almost every day, or porridge, or stewed rice.

The food he eats is delicious, but if he eats it like this, he doesn't know if he can last until a few years ago, and they don't get much rice.

In addition to eating rice, there is also oil. In the past, at my grandparents’ place, I used a little bit of oil with chopsticks each time. Now, the amount of oil is estimated to be enough for ten days. Even if my mother has recently refined a lot of lard, Bottom soon, right? The same goes for fish and meat. Either fish or meat is eaten every day. Are there so many fish on the mountain?

The four of them also share a bowl of custard every morning…

He was really worried.

It's not that there are no people. They ate and drank heavily when they first distributed food, and then lived on grass roots and borrowed food.

Su Hui raised her eyebrows slightly: "Our sweet potatoes are all in the room, you can see them, they won't eat them all in one go, as for the rest, it's what I think of, you are still young, don't think too much, someone If you ask, just say what your mother told you."

The expression on Zhang Baoguo's face became even more tangled: "Mom..." He is no longer a child, but a big child who can be trusted.

Su An prepared dry food to go up the mountain the next day.

There are less than ten days before the Chinese New Year, and the farm work is basically gone. Everyone is busy with their own affairs. Some go to the mountains to collect firewood, some wash their brushes at home while the weather is good, and some are preparing for the New Year's goods...

Su An also saw a few young people with eyes on the mountain playing tricks. Su An recalled it and remembered that those few were educated youths in their village.

Going to the countryside to support construction.

After the Chinese New Year, some educated youths can go back to their hometowns to visit relatives, but those with insufficient years, those who are delayed, and those who cannot afford a ticket... will stay in Li Village for the Chinese New Year.

It's not allowed on the surface, but in private, many people are doing it, the place is more hidden, and the gains are not made public. If you don't have hatred, you won't deliberately expose it. , no one is completely innocent.

Su Hui walked faster and faster, without the exhaustion and panting from walking on the mountain road at all. If someone was watching carefully, she could still notice her rhythmic breathing.

After she walked for more than an hour in one breath, there were not many paths for people to come out of here. She had to use a hatchet to open the way and cut through the grass halfway up to her waist.

There are a lot more prey here than outside. She saw several pheasants infested, but because she was going to open the way, the movement was louder, and they avoided far away.

When she came to a seepage stream, she saw many footprints, Su An held her breath, and it was here.

She came to this puddle, found a hidden place and started to squat. After not waiting too long, she saw a small muntja emerging from the grass on the opposite side. She looked left and right smartly, and saw There was nothing in the situation, and he stayed on the spot alertly. After more than 20 minutes, it slowly came over and walked back into the puddle one step at a time. Just when Su An was about to make a move, she heard the movement, and she was dormant again. down.

A little disappointed, it was a gray rabbit. Su An held two sharp bamboo pieces in her hand, and with a flick of her wrist, they flew out like this. The two pieces hit the key point. Muntja took a few steps in vain.

Su An quickly put them into the mustard space, very good, she moved fast enough, she sprinkled a little powder, and the slight **** smell disappeared, she squatted back again.

A rabbit weighs more than two kilograms, and a small deer is about thirty kilograms, enough for the Chinese New Year, but she still wants to sell some money. The Chinese New Year is often the time when Chinese people are most willing to spend money.
