"That's perfect. Gu An has finally come back from the academy and can finally eat some meat." Fan replied.
Liu Miaohua's expression changed. It was Gu An again!
Later, Fan will definitely give the delicious food to Gu An and Gu Lan, and the only food they can eat will be some tough bones!
Xie Yunjiao noticed that Liu Miaohua's eyes were not right, but she didn't want to care. After all, it was their family's business, and how they dealt with the meat had nothing to do with her.
Xie Yunjiao quickly divided the pork and the pig skull, and then wanted Doudou to deliver the meat. However, she was afraid that the pig head was too heavy and Doudou could not lift it, so she decided to braise the pig head first and then deliver it herself.
There are a lot of hairs on a pig's head, and it would take a long time to scrape it with a knife. She just burns it with fire, which can also remove the odor on the hair follicles.
After burning the pig hair, wash it with water and then scrape it clean with a knife.
She then picked up the knife and split the pig's head in half, throwing the portion for the old Gu family aside and starting to deal with the half she was going to eat.
Remove the bones and use them to make soup. Blanch the pig skin and meat and put them into the pot. Add star anise, peppercorns, bay leaves and cinnamon picked from the mountain, then add ginger, onion and soy sauce, and add some sugar before stewing.
She covered the pot and was about to send the pig's head and pig's head to the old Gu family when she suddenly saw Doudou dragging two pieces of sugarcane and walking towards her with a happy face.
"Mom, come and see, there are so many sugarcanes!"
Doudou learned his lesson. He returned to the kitchen and whispered to Xie Yunjiao to avoid being heard by those people who might come and steal their food.
"Where did all this sugarcane come from?"
"I gave it to you." Zhou Jinhai's wife Xiaoyu walked in with some sugarcane in her hand.
Xiaoyu's face was haggard, and her eyes were dark, as if she had not rested for a long time.
"Xiaoyu, it's you. Why did you bring so much sugarcane?" When Xie Yunjiao saw Xiaoyu, she hurriedly came out to greet her happily.
Xiaoyu smiled at Xie Yunjiao, a hint of bitterness flashing in her eyes. "Xiaofu has been seriously ill recently, and I have to stay at home to take care of him. I don't have time to sell the sugarcane. Now it's the New Year, and no one is going to the market in town. If you leave it in the fields for too long, the sugar content will decrease. If you keep it at home for too long, it will go bad. We can't eat all of this ourselves, so we brought some over for you to eat."
"Your family hasn't sold all of the one acre of sugarcane?" Xie Yunjiao frowned. That was indeed a big problem. It would be a pity if it couldn't be sold, and it would lose its sugar content if left in the field and become unpalatable.
She thought about it for a moment, and suddenly an idea came to her: "Why not sell it to the candy maker?"
"They don't want it. They say our sugarcane is fruit sugarcane and not as sweet as sugar cane." Xiaoyu shook her head uncomfortably.
"Then sell it to me. I'm just sitting around doing nothing these days anyway."
"Are you going to eat them all? That's too much. Your mouth will be damaged if you eat so much sugarcane." Xiaoyu said hurriedly.
Xie Yunjiao was amused by the seriousness on her face. She knew she couldn't eat so much sugar cane. She wasn't a machine. If she ate so much sugar cane, her teeth would probably break!
"No, I bought it to make candy. I just messed around with it when I had nothing to do." Xie Yunjiao said with a smile.
"You can make candy?" Xiaoyu was stunned and looked at Xie Yunjiao in surprise.
Ever since she met Xie Yunjiao, she felt that Xie Yunjiao was amazing and could do everything.
The down vests she made for them with goose feathers were very warm and very convenient for working. She and her family always loved to wear these vests. They would even put on a thin shirt outside when wearing them for fear that they would get dirty or torn.
"No, but I've seen others do it." Xie Yunjiao said.
She once visited a sugar factory and saw how people squeezed juice and fried sugar.
The process is not complicated, it just takes a long time.
"That won't do. You've only seen it. If you fail, wouldn't that be a waste of money? Forget it. I'll give you these to eat."
Xiaoyu looked around the yard and asked, "Where's Brother Gu? He's not home?"
"Let's go up the mountain." Xie Yunjiao said.
Gu Huaida was fascinated by the fragrant wood after he discovered it by the river at the foot of the mountain. He knew that Xie Yunjiao wanted to make incense, so he volunteered to help her find more fragrant wood.
Although Xie Yunjiao didn't want him to work so hard, she had no choice if he insisted on going.
Anyway, she was not going up the mountain to hunt, so she felt more at ease.
"Oh, I see." Xiaoyu smiled, but hesitated to speak.
Xie Yunjiao felt that Xiaoyu's sudden visit today must not be just to give her sugarcane.
She must have something else going on!
"Xiaoyu, is something wrong? Given our relationship, you must tell me and we will help you."
Gu Huai and Zhou Jinhai are childhood friends and have a very good relationship.
Xiaoyu loves her family and treats her well, defending her in front of the villagers many times. So if something really happens to Xiaoyu's family, she will definitely help if she has the ability to.
"Jin Hai went to town yesterday and hasn't come back yet. I'm worried about him." Xiaoyu said, crying.
"He hasn't come back yet?" Xie Yunjiao was slightly startled. "You are so careless! Your man has been missing for a whole day and night, and you're only worried now!"
"I'm at home taking care of the children. I'm so tired." Xiaoyu covered her face and sobbed.
Xie Yunjiao was most afraid of others crying. Seeing Xiaoyu crying pitifully, she didn't know how to comfort her.
She had no choice but to walk over and pat Xiaoyu on the shoulder: "I'm sorry, I'm not good at talking."
Xiaoyu pursed her lips and shook her head, then raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, this matter has nothing to do with you, it's my fault.
I didn't dare to tell my elderly parents-in-law, so I had to come to you. I wanted Gu Huai to help me check in the town."
Her child was still running a high fever at home, but Zhou Jinhai was missing. She was very anxious, but there was nothing she could do.
"When Gu Huai comes back, I will definitely let..."
"I'll help you find Jin Hai in town."
It was Gu Huai's voice. He was back.
I don’t know when he came back or how much he knew.
However, Xiaoyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief that he agreed to help find someone in town.
"Thank you, Brother Gu. I'm sorry to bother you again even though the New Year is almost here. I will remember your kindness forever."
Xiaoyu was about to kneel down when she spoke. Xie Yunjiao guessed what she was going to do and quickly reached out to support her as she was about to kneel down: "Don't be polite with us."
"Madam, I'll leave now." Gu Huai said.
"Here's some food. Take it and eat it on the way. When you get to town, go find Mr. Zhong and ask him for help." Xie Yunjiao was helping Gu Huai pack. "What do you think? If we go to Captain Hai's house and tell him that you are the master's nephew, would he be willing to help?"
However, Xie Yunjiao denied it as soon as she said it: "Uncle Ye doesn't seem to want people to know your identity. Forget it, I'll go with you and leave Doudou to Aunt Tian to help take care of her."
