Fu Beimo's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Ali, your brain has never been injured, so it really works better than mine."
"It's just average." Ali said, "Bei Mo, if your head hadn't been hit, you would have been an extremely smart person, as smart as the Master."
Fu Beimo suddenly asked seriously, "How do you give birth to a child?"
Ali scratched the back of his head. He had just been praised for his sharp brain, but the following question stumped him.
"I don't know either!"
Fu Beimo laughed at him: "Ali, you are also quite stupid."
Ali thought for a moment and lowered his voice: "Master is smart, he knows."
Fu Beimo nodded: "What you said makes sense."
On the other side, when Yan Funing arrived at the Li family at the entrance of the village, Li Xinheng was putting reins on the cow.
There were already villagers waiting to ride the ox cart.
"Brother Li." Yan Funing called out.
Li Xinheng turned around and asked: "Miss, are you going to town today?"
Yan Funing shook her head and handed him a piece of pork belly: "My husband asked me to bring it to you."
Li Xinheng declined: "I can't accept this."
Normally, if he wanted to become a disciple, he would have to give gifts to the master.
After eating so many dishes at the Master's house last night, how could he have the nerve to eat meat again today?
The villagers who were waiting for the bus on the side were envious when they saw this.
Someone said sarcastically, "Driver Li, they have so much meat that they can't finish it all, so just accept it."
Someone laughed and shouted: "If you don't want it, there are plenty of people who do."
Li's mother, who was in the house, heard the noise and came out. Seeing Yan Funing holding a piece of meat and insisting that her son accept it, she stepped forward and asked, "Miss, what is this?"
"Auntie, it's like this. My husband heard that the wine we drank last night was left by Brother Li's father. He felt bad for drinking such precious wine. Now he's going to the village school, so he asked me to bring him a piece of meat."
Yan Funing handed the meat to Li's mother.
"We still have some wine at home. His father was going to use it for his son's wedding. He never thought his son would never find a wife, so the wine stayed there forever, but his father is gone."
Having said this, tears instantly filled Li's mother's eyes.
"Then you should accept it." Yan Funing hung the straw knot tied on the meat on Li's mother's finger.
Mother Li said happily, "Although we raise pigs at home, we can only eat meat a few times a year."
The pigs had to be sold for money, and she had to save the proceeds to find a wife for her son.
There is no extra money to buy meat.
She was so happy to see the top quality pork belly!
"Mother, Master helped me get the cow back, gave me such a nice name, and taught me kung fu." Li Xinheng came over, "We shouldn't have accepted this meat!"
Mother Li looked at the meat and felt reluctant to part with it.
The villagers nearby swallowed their saliva one after another.
Pork belly is fat and lean, but it’s good meat!
When cooking, cut a few slices and you will enjoy the taste that is only available during the Chinese New Year.
A piece of meat like this weighs at least three pounds, so it’s worth a lot of money!
Li Xinheng said to his mother, "Mom, the Master taught me Kung Fu, so in my heart he is my Master. I haven't even paid the apprenticeship fee, so how can I accept a gift from the Master?"
As he said this, he took the meat from his mother's hand and wanted to return it to Yan Funing.
Yan Funing declined: "It was Master's idea to send the meat over. Since you regard Master as your master, won't you obey Master's orders?"
Li Xinheng was stunned: "This..."
"Just take it with peace of mind." Yan Funing smiled, "I'll be back soon, you guys go ahead and get busy."
She waved her hand and walked away briskly.
The mother and son of the Li family looked at each other, both with tears in their eyes.
At this time, Hu Ajing and Meixiang came to take the car.
The two men passed by Yan Funing and turned around to see the pork belly in the coachman Li's hand, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Hu Ajing asked the villagers, "Is this the meat sent by Wanniang and her daughter-in-law?"
The villagers scoffed, "She sent it here. She really doesn't know how to live. She's so generous that she gave away such a good piece of meat so easily."
Mother Li cast a glance at them and said to Yan Funing's back, "What a good girl, what a good teacher!"
Then he took the meat from his son's hand, walked past the villagers waiting for the car, turned to his son and said, "From now on, when Wan Niang and her family come to ride in the ox cart, you can't charge them for the fare!"
Li Xinheng nodded: "I had this plan last night."
Meixiang was surprised and asked, "Auntie Li, why did Wanniang and her daughter-in-law send meat to your house?"
She wants to eat too.
Not only did she want to eat it, she believed Hu Ajing also wanted to eat it.
Li's mother smiled and said, "Because we didn't occupy their yard, nor did we plant their land, and we didn't gossip or stir up trouble behind their backs."
This sentence made everyone look at Hu Ajing.
Hu Ajing lowered her eyebrows, her face turning pale and blue, and for a moment she was unable to retort.
Although everyone knew the truth, once she refuted it, it would be tantamount to admitting that it was their Hu family who did something wrong.
--
Near noon, Yan Funing cut up the remaining pig heart and tongue, and put some of them on the same plate.
He served a plate of stir-fried cabbage with oyster mushrooms, cut half an apple and put it on a small plate, and served a bowl of rice and put them all in the lunch box.
Ask Fu Beimo and Ali to deliver it to Fu Ciyi.
Fu Beimo took it and said goodbye to her with Ali with a smile.
The two of them smiled at each other, as if they were hinting at something, but Yan Funing didn't understand what these two guys were doing.
I had no choice but to tell them: "Go quickly and come back quickly, don't play around on the way."
"I understand, sister-in-law."
The two of them quickly left the yard and walked away.
Yan Funing shook her head and called Fu Nanyao to come and light the fire.
When the pan is heated, she stir-fries salt with bay leaves, star anise and peppercorns until fragrant, then removes the ingredients and lets them cool for later use.
