Chapter 94: Pickled Meat



Xiaoguo followed Zhuangzhuang's line of sight and saw that it was true!

The two skinny cows have now grown stronger and taller, and they look like they can even carry the donkeys next to them.

I think we should be able to drink milk next year.

After dinner in the evening, Xiaoguo took Zhuangzhuang to study. After finishing a part, Xiaoguo thought about asking him some questions to see how much he remembered.

Unexpectedly, Zhuangzhuang could already recite several passages by heart. Xiaoguo put down the newly bought Three Character Classic. Zhuangzhuang had memorized all the first chapters, so Xiaoguo went to the bookstore and bought a lot of more books.

This batch of books we bought are much more advanced than the previous enlightenment books. My colleagues said that these books were all learned in school.

Xiaoguo now thinks that Zhuangzhuang will finish all the books in school before the school starts.

"How's it going, Mom? Is there anything wrong?"

After Zhuangzhuang finished reciting the last paragraph, he looked at Xiaoguo with sparkling eyes, wanting to ask him if he had recited it correctly.

Xiaoguo gave Zhuangzhuang a thumbs up. Zhuangzhuang curiously followed Xiaoguo's gesture and gave him a thumbs up. "What does this mean?"

Xiao Guo raised both thumbs up. "This is to praise how awesome you are. Two thumbs up means you are twice as awesome!"

Zhuangzhuang followed suit and raised his two thumbs up to Xiaoguo, "Mom is twice as good!"

Xiaoguo was instantly warmed and rewarded him with a big kiss.

The next day, Xiaoguo couldn't fall asleep after lunch, but Zhuangzhuang was sleeping soundly in the house. Children really sleep a lot. Don't old people always say that children grow in their sleep?

After coming out, Xiaoguo looked up at the sky. It was not too hot at the end of August. And the climate here, maybe because there were many trees, Xiaoguo felt that even in the hottest months of June and July, it was not very hot.

Anyway, there is nothing to do. Xiaoguo is really busy, so he thought of doing an enema. It won't go bad if he leaves it outside in this weather.

Xiaoguo did what he said, went into the space, and took out half of the intestines from the refrigerator.

I don’t plan to cook all the small fruits, but I’ll leave some sausages and roast them on the Mid-Autumn Festival.

By the way, I carried out the pork I bought.

As soon as Xiaoguo slipped out, he saw Zhuangzhuang leaving and was startled.

He quickly squatted down and secretly observed whether Zhuangzhuang had gone far away. After seeing him go back into the house, Xiaoguo quickly put down the meat and intestines and ran into the house.

As soon as I stepped into the house, I ran into Zhuangzhuang coming out.

"Mom? Where have you been?"

Zhuangzhuang woke up with a crying voice. He had just woken up and called for his mother, but no one answered for a long time. So he went out to look for her, but he didn't see her when he got to the kitchen. He was very anxious.

Xiao Guo picked him up and patted him gently to comfort him, "Mom is going to look for Sister Yang."

Xiaoguo lied calmly, but in fact, she was not very calm. After all, she had to lie to such an innocent and cute little darling. How much pressure must she have been under in her heart!

Zhuangzhuang lay on Xiaoguo's shoulder, rubbing his eyes with his little hands, his little nose sniffing like he was sobbing after crying.

Xiaoguo was heartbroken by Zhuangzhuang's behavior. How could this happen to him while he was sleeping?

"Zhuangzhuang, dear, what's wrong?"

Zhuangzhuang slowly raised his head, revealing slightly red eyes, and looked at Xiaoguo pitifully.

"It's okay, I was sleepy..."

Only then did Xiaoguo understand what Zhuangzhuang's strangeness was.

It turned out that Xiao Zhuangzhuang had a dream. When he woke up, he didn't see Xiaoguo. He thought he had returned to that time and thought Xiaoguo had gone out to find food as he did in the dream. He was confused and started crying.

Xiaoguo immediately hugged Zhuangzhuang with heartache. This child really lacked a sense of security. It seemed that she would have to try her best to stay close to him.

"It's okay, Zhuangzhuang. Mom will not leave you. Mom will take you wherever she goes in the future. Okay?"

Xiaoguo gently comforted Zhuangzhuang, and Zhuangzhuang rubbed his eyes and looked up at Xiaoguo, "Zhuangzhuang will follow mother closely in the future. Mother can go anywhere she wants."

Zhuangzhuang was afraid that Xiaoguo thought he was too clingy and didn't like him.

"Zhuangzhuang, you are my son, so of course I will always take you with me, wherever I go~"

Xiaoguo suppressed the sadness in her heart and repeated over and over again how important Zhuangzhuang meant to her!

Zhuangzhuang gradually stopped feeling sad, and then felt a little embarrassed. People say a man should be a manly womanizer, but now he was letting his mother hug him and he was crying. It was so embarrassing.

Looking at Zhuangzhuang's rosy face, Xiaoguo knew that he was fine, so she held him and teased him for a while. Only when he laughed out loud did she let him go and led him to the kitchen.

It’s too late to do an enema now, so let’s cut the meat and marinate it first, and leave the rest for tomorrow.

Zhuangzhuang knew that Xiaoguo was going to have his intestines swollen, and he also knew that he had been delayed for a long time, so he stood aside obediently holding Xiaoguo's legs. Although it was a bit inconvenient, Zhuangzhuang felt that his mother was right, he was her little baby, and she would not be angry even if he hung on her.

Although he thought so, Zhuangzhuang let go after hugging his mother for a while. He decided to let his mother cut the meat seriously. He was just still a little sad and just wanted to hug his mother longer. Now that everything was fine, he couldn't cause any trouble for his mother.

Xiaoguo did not forget to talk to Zhuangzhuang while cutting meat. She did not let him idle during the process and assigned him the task of fetching spices so that he could stop thinking about his dream by being busy and also have a sense of participation.

Zhuangzhuang had completely forgotten his dream at this moment. He hummed happily and ran to get spices for Xiaoguo.

Xiaoguo takes a piece of hindquarter meat and separates the fat and lean parts. This piece is three parts fat and seven parts lean, which is perfect for making intestines.

Xiaoguo first separates the fat from the lean meat, then cuts the lean meat into thin slices. After all the lean meat is cut, put it in a bowl and start chopping the fat until all the fat is minced.

At this time, Zhuangzhuang also came over with the spices. Xiaoguo took them and put them on the table, then turned around and put the fat into the pot first.

Zhuangzhuang carried a stool, came to the table and stepped on it.

Because the table is high, Zhuangzhuang cannot see the whole thing. Now he is standing on a bench, which is at just the right height for him to see it.

The spices that Xiaoguo bought were not powders, but real things that needed to be ground by oneself.

There is no need to use a grinding plate for these. Xiaoguo can directly use the garlic mortar for pounding garlic, put all the spices in, and crush them together. Although they cannot be too fine, Xiaoguo thinks it is okay. I personally feel that the meat will taste better if it has a granular texture.

Zhuangzhuang recovered and became one hundred thousand curious babies. Every time Xiaoguo added one thing, Zhuangzhuang would ask the same question, for example, what is this and what is that.

Xiaoguo answered him one by one. Knowing that he was a curious baby, he let him smell each one and Zhuangzhuang used his little nose to feel the objects.

It was not until he smelled the chili that he sneezed several times. Xiaoguo quickly washed his nose with cold water, and the sneezing stopped.

"I know this, this is chili!"

Zhuangzhuang was leaning on the table, some distance away from the red peppers.
