Zhang Xiaobing asked suspiciously: "Yueyue, is it really delicious?"
Zhang Xinyue nodded, "Yeah, it's really delicious!"
“Does it stink?”
"It doesn't smell bad, it smells good."
"Mom, I want to eat more!"
Zhang Hulan cut some more food for Zhang Xinyue and put it in her mouth.
Seeing Zhang Xinyue's mouth moving constantly, Zhang Xiaobing licked his lips. Then he looked at Zhang Hulan and said, "Auntie, let me have a taste too."
Zhang Hulan smiled and said, "Didn't you say you didn't want to eat?"
Zhang Xiaobing said, "I'll just try a little bit, just a little bit."
Zhang Xinyi asked Zhang Xinyue, "Yueyue, it really doesn't stink?"
Zhang Xinyue nodded her head, "Second sister, it really doesn't stink. It smells really good!"
Zhang Xinyi said to Zhang Hulan, "Mom, let me have a taste too."
Then Zhang Hulan cut some for Zhang Xinyi and Zhang Xiaobing to put in their mouths.
Zhang Xinyi's eyes lit up when she put it in her mouth. "Oh, it's really delicious!"
Zhang Xiaobing's eyes widened and he nodded continuously, "It's really delicious!"
Zhang Hulan also cut some for Zhang Xinyao, Shanzi, Zhang Xiaojun and Zhang Dahahua. After Zhang Xinyue finished the food in her mouth, she asked Zhang Hulan for more.
The pig intestine, which was about one foot long, was divided up among the children.
Zhang Xiaobing also asked Xiang Chunhua, "Mom, try it, it's really delicious."
Xiang Chunhua was very skeptical, "Is it really delicious?"
Zhang Xiaobing nodded. "It's really delicious. It doesn't smell like shit, and it's not smelly at all."
If Zhang Xiaobing hadn't said it tasted like poop, Xiang Chunhua would have wanted to try it. But when she heard Zhang Xiaobing say it tasted like poop, she didn't want to try it anymore.
Zhang Hubing came forward and said, "Let me have a taste."
"What do you want to taste? It's time to eat."
Zhang Hulan used a spoon to put the pig brain into another pot. Although the pig head meat had not been braised yet, the brine had already boiled. The marinade should be cooked for a longer time to taste better. The pig brain should not be put directly into the pot, otherwise it would be difficult to fish it out later, as it is very easy to break.
…
"Xinyao, get the bowls and chopsticks and get ready to eat."
"Okay, Mom!" Zhang Xinyao and Zhang Xinyi quickly brought the bowls and chopsticks to the table and served the rice.
A bowl of pig intestines, a bowl of sliced sausage rolls, and a bowl of tripe strips. Zhang Hulan also made seasonings with minced garlic, minced ginger, and soy sauce, which the sausage rolls and tripe strips can be dipped in.
I also stir-fried two green vegetables and two large bowls of pig brains.
Everyone was already waiting at the table, and as soon as the dishes were served, Zhang Xiaobing started to grab them.
Wang knocked Zhang Xiaobing on the head with her chopsticks, "What are you fighting for? Do you have any manners? Your aunt hasn't even come to the table yet."
Zhang Xiaobing quickly put down his chopsticks and sat obediently on the stool waiting for Zhang Hulan to come to the table.
Zhang Hulan wiped her hands with a rag and said with a smile, "It's okay. We are all family. There is no need to follow so many rules. Let's eat."
Old Man Zhang said, "Dani'er, I know you love your children. You should treat the soldiers as your own children, but you still have to follow the rules, otherwise it will be hard to change the habits that have been formed."
"Okay, Dad, please teach them more in the future." Zhang Hulan did not object to Old Man Zhang. It would be better for children to understand the rules.
In fact, when Zhang Hulan was a child, the rules at home were very strict.
Sometimes when I’m playing at someone else’s house and see them preparing to cook, I’ll leave immediately.
When there are guests at home, children are not allowed to sit at the table. They can only sit on a small stool at the side and eat some food from the side.
Not to mention children, Zhang Hulan remembers that when she was very young, her mother would not sit at the table when guests came to her house, but would eat with her at the side. The rules here are similar to the current ones.
Later, as women's status in society improved and the country advocated gender equality, these rules gradually faded away.
Zhang Hulan thought this was a good idea. Why couldn’t women and children sit at the table to eat?
But at least some family education is still necessary. In the following years, fewer and fewer children understand the rules, whether outside or at home, they act like little ancestors.
It's just that you don't need to be so strict with your family, just be casual. When guests come to your home, there's no need to stop your children from eating at the table, but it's still better to follow some rules when you're outside.
We've gotten a little off topic, let's continue eating, otherwise the food will get cold.
After Zhang Hulan sat down, Old Man Zhang started eating, and the others followed suit.
Seeing that several children were scrambling to eat pig intestines, Xiang Chunhua and Li also took some to try. After tasting it, Xiang Chunhua and Li changed their perception of pig intestines.
"Sister, why is this pig intestine so delicious?"
Zhang Hulan smiled and said, "How is it? Is it delicious?"
“Mmm, yummy yummy!”
"If it doesn't taste good, can I make it and sell it?"
Zhang Xiaobing took some pig brain and tasted it, then said excitedly: "Auntie, this pig brain is delicious too!"
Everyone started to taste the pig brains again. The pig brains had a delicate texture and melted in the mouth. After being boiled in brine, there was no fishy smell at all. Xiang Chunhua also thought it was delicious after tasting it.
Li was also ready to try it, but Zhang Hulan said, "Sister-in-law, why don't you eat pig brains? Pig brains have the effect of inducing labor. Although it should be okay to try a little, it's better to be careful."
Li quickly put away her chopsticks and asked, "Can this thing also induce labor?"
Zhang Hulan nodded, "Yes."
Xiang Chunhua said, "Sister, isn't it true that boiling pig intestines with eggs can induce labor? Can pig brains also induce labor?"
Zhang Hulan blinked and asked, "Have you ever eaten pig intestine boiled eggs?"
Xiang Chunhua nodded, "Yes, I have. When I was about to give birth to Xiaobing, my mother cooked it for me, and it was the pig's butt.
I couldn't eat it at that time, so I pinched my nose and ate the egg.
If eating pig brains works, then I will eat pig brains when I am reborn."
Zhang Hulan smiled and said, "I think it's better to boil eggs with pig intestines."
Wang then said, "Second brother, are you planning to have another child too?"
Zhang Hubing said, "We have this plan. My eldest brother already has his third child, and we want to have another one too."
Wang smiled and said, "Okay, okay! Hurry up and give birth, while I can still move, I can help you take care of it for a few more years!"
We had a very enjoyable meal today and everyone was burping after eating so much.
The people were full, and the two little ones were full too. Zhang Xinyue picked up a lot of scraps of meat to feed them.
In the afternoon, Zhang Hulan also braised the pig's head and checked it out.
Although the temperature is still relatively high now, it won’t go bad if you boil it and leave it in the pot overnight.
The next day, Zhang Hulan called Zhang Hujun to go to the county town together.
Arriving at the county town, Zhang Hulan first went to the back door of the county government office.
I knocked on the door, and the concierge opened it a crack and asked, "What are you doing?"
Zhang Hulan asked, "Excuse me, is Madam Ye here? I am Zhang Hulan from Daping Village, and I am here to bring some food to Madam Ye."
The concierge opened the door a little wider and looked at Zhang Hulan carefully. Zhang Hulan had been here before, so all concierges knew her.
The concierge said, "Wait a moment, I'll go and inform them."
"Okay, that's trouble!"
