Chapter 378 People can’t be cooked?
"Leave one pig's stomach for me."
Liu Laowu didn't even raise his head, "I'll leave a big one for you."
"Thank you, Uncle Wu."
"You're welcome."
Yi Chichi left happily. When Wen's mother saw her coming over from Liu Laowu's place, she whispered, "What did you say to your fifth uncle?"
"I asked Uncle Wu for a pig's stomach."
Wen's mother understood immediately that this was for Old Madam Song.
"Can the old lady's stomach be cured?"
"Something is better than nothing."
This means that there is no hope for treatment, but it can be controlled.
"How about when we distribute the meat later, we ask for less wild boar meat and take all the local meat?"
This idea is good. Comparing wild boar meat and offal, Yi Chichi prefers offal.
It’s nothing, wild boar meat really doesn’t taste good.
The meat is rough and has a strong fishy smell. No matter how much ingredients you put in, it's just like that.
On the contrary, the internal organs are better.
While equally rich in flavor, the offal has a less harsh texture.
After cleaning, make it into a braised dish and soak it until the flavor is absorbed. When the weather gets cold, cut some and use it for stir-frying, or eat it directly.
That’s right, there are many people in the village who like domestic products.
"If no one wants it, I'll buy it all."
Anyone can pack as much as they want.
Wen's mother thought it was okay.
So, this topic ends here.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the team leader who had gone to the public office to slaughter wild boars came back. Seeing that the two little wild boars had been cut up on the chopping board, the team leader waved his hand and announced that they would have the pig-killing meal today.
The crowd cheered.
Qin Jiu and his group of children were the most excited. When the adults were busy preparing the pig-killing dishes, they stood by the stove and smelled the aroma coming out of the pot.
The food tasted delicious only when people rushed to eat it. There were a lot of pig-killing dishes, and the quantity was large, but the whole team, men, women, young and old, came to eat.
It took more than three hours to cook the meal, but it was completely gone in less than twenty minutes after it was served.
Yi Chichi held the bowl in her hands and concentrated on eating. The dishes in her bowl were all snatched from the chopsticks of a group of aunts and ladies with lightning-fast hands by Wen's mother using all her cooking skills.
Not only did he grab food for her, he also grabbed food for Qin Jiu. While grabbing food, he also fed himself and was now helping to clean up the dishes.
Seeing this, Yi Chichi sped up his eating speed. Aunt Ma advised, "Don't be in a hurry, kid. Eat slowly and be careful not to choke."
"……good."
She responded obediently and continued eating.
By the time she finished eating, Wen's mother and the others had almost cleaned up the table and dishes.
Yi Chichi wanted to help and was driven away to see the child.
When she got to the group of children, she found that these children didn't need her to watch them at all. They were having a lot of fun playing with pig bladders and Kalaha.
There was also sandbag throwing and skipping rope, and the participants included Zhou Qiuyu and others.
Seeing her standing there motionless, Zhou Qiuyu waved at her, "Chi Chi, come jump rope with us."
"Come!"
She knows this; she played with it when she was a child.
Then, she joined the rope skipping team. After jumping, she came to the rescue to help Niu Niu win the sandbag throwing competition. She played Kalaha with Ye Zi and the others, and took advantage of her height advantage to snatch the pig bladders from Qin Jiu and the others.
She played too much and ended up being accused by all the kids of having no moral ethics.
To be fair, the adults were expelled from the competition by the children.
The children were making noises, the adults were laughing, and the young and old were gathered together chatting.
Time passed minute by minute and the sky gradually darkened.
The wild boars haven't been killed yet, so we can't share the pork today.
We can only divide it tomorrow.
The old man and his family also had the pig-killing meal today and left early after the meal. On the way back, Qin Jiu held Yi Chichi in his left hand and Wen Mu in his right hand, and every cell in his body was filled with joy.
“The pig-killing dish is really delicious.”
Wen's mother teased him, "Is my cooking better or is the pig-killing dish better?"
This kid knows how to treat everyone equally. Without even thinking, he blurted out, "They're all delicious."
Mother Wen said to Yi Chichi, "He also knows not to offend anyone."
Yi Chichi's mouth twitched, "He's not stupid to begin with."
On the contrary, quite smart.
Wen's mother thought so too. A gust of wind blew, and all she could smell was the smell of smoke and fire.
"Go home and boil some water to take a long bath."
"good."
Yi Chichi nodded. The temperature dropped as soon as the first snow fell, and the temperature difference between morning and evening became even greater. There was no heating in the countryside, and heating depended solely on burning kangs and fire walls. However, taking a shower at home was still bearable in this weather.
When November comes, if you want to take a bath, you can only go to the commune kitchen. It is easy to catch a cold if you take a bath at home.
However, it is not convenient to go to the commune, especially on snowy days. If you don’t take a sled and want to walk or ride a bicycle, you will be stuck.
We have to find a way to solve the problem of difficulty in taking a bath in winter.
"Mom, can we change the stove?"
"How do I change it?"
Yi Chichi described the pot bathing custom of farmers in the south of the Yangtze River. Wen Mu's face was filled with doubt, "There's a fire burning in the stove, and people sitting in the pot and bathing?"
"Um."
She had experienced it once, and how should she describe the feeling? It was a bit novel and a bit scary.
I was always worried that I would be cooked while washing.
But it’s really not cold to take a bath in winter.
Wen's mother seemed to be thinking, "Are you sure you won't get cooked if you take a bath like this?"
"Won't."
"Then give it a try?"
Looks very hesitant.
Qin Jiu, who had listened attentively throughout the conversation, immediately responded, "Try it. I've never experienced this kind of bathing before, and I want to feel it for myself."
Yi Chichi also thought it was worth a try.
Now that all three of them agree, what are we waiting for? Let’s take action.
However, the operation was forced to stop.
Because there are no pots that big for sale and they don’t accept customization, you can’t buy a suitable pot even if you have money and tickets. Instead, Yi Chichi brought back a small iron pot.
Mother Wen looked at the pot she brought back, and after a long silence, she sighed, "It's hard to put a baby in this pot, let alone an adult."
Yi Chichi explained with a wry smile, "This is for cooking noodles, dumplings, and other dishes on the stove."
Wen's mother asked, "...isn't it for bathing?"
"There's no pot big enough for a bath."
She looked miserable. Mother Wen was stunned for a moment, then realized what she meant and burst out laughing. "Fortunately, I didn't rush to find someone to change the stove."
Otherwise, if you don’t buy the pot, you have to modify the stove first and then modify it back, which is very troublesome.
It’s so much better now, it saves trouble.
Yi Chichi sighed, "I didn't expect iron pots to be in short supply, especially large iron pots."
It is really inconvenient to go to the commune to take a shower in the middle of winter.
She felt despair when she thought about having to run to the commune in the snow and ice just to take a bath.
"What about winter?"
Wen's mother didn't think it was a big problem. "Since the iron pot is out of the question, let's change it to the bathroom. Build a fire wall. When you want to take a shower, just light the fire wall. Then use iron pipes or bamboo to make a water tank. Connect it directly from the stove to the bathroom. When you need to use hot water, just put it in. What do you think?"
This is possible, right? "Iron pipes are probably not available, and as for bamboo..."
Does bamboo grow in Northeast China?
Never noticed.
I haven't seen it either.
"Mom, does the security guard have bamboo?"
