"You--" Mrs. Gu didn't expect that Li Qingyun would dare to disrespect her like this in front of so many people. She was completely overwhelmed and pointed at Li Qingyun, unable to speak for a while.
Everyone saw that the situation was not right and a war was about to break out, so they quickly separated the two men and each went their own way.
The people around Mrs. Gu were all on good terms with her, so they naturally looked down on Li Qingyun.
"Why are you arguing with a lunatic like her?"
"That's right, let's not bother with her. She's just a jerk."
"You don't know, I was badly bullied by her! -" When Mrs. Gu saw someone comforting her, she immediately started complaining.
On the other side, Li Qingyun acted as if nothing had happened, as if she was not the one who had just cursed.
"Tingzhou family, please stop talking. Your sister-in-law is always pretending to be pitiful."
"That's right, it's not worth getting angry with someone so shallow."
Qiu Ju also quickly advised her: "Don't argue with her, you're just making yourself angry."
"It's okay, I know my limits." My limits are: whoever dares to mess with me, I'll kill her.
Father Gu went to the public to buy pigs today. Brother Gu went to the neighboring village to make cabinets and has not come back yet. Since the separation of the family, he has been working much harder. After all, what he earns now goes into his own pocket.
Gu's mother was inside with a few aunts preparing the pig-killing dish. When she heard someone say that her two daughters-in-law were almost fighting, she rushed out to try to stop the fight.
By the time she arrived, the battle was over.
She didn't seem nervous, but rather a little disappointed. She didn't get to watch the first scene and missed a good show in vain. With the fighting power of the second brother's family, they absolutely couldn't lose.
This old man is just asking for trouble.
After the farce, the pig slaughtering came to an end. The internal organs in the stomach were taken out, and several aunts began to wash them skillfully. The main dishes of today's pig slaughtering meal were these pig organs and pig blood.
After the pork is weighed, the accountant will calculate how much each family can get and how much they will receive.
Each household had no time to care about anything else and quickly ran home to get basins to divide the meat and contribute to the pig-killing dish.
If you want to eat the pig-killing dish, you have to contribute. You contribute a few radishes, I contribute a few cabbages, and he contributes a few potatoes. This is called contributing.
After being reminded by Gu's mother, Li Qingyun had already brought some food to contribute, about three or four pounds of potatoes.
After paying for the dishes, you can queue up to get your share of the meat.
Li Qingyun was at the front of the line and it was soon her turn. Aunt Jiang's man was very familiar with her.
"Which one do you want?"
"Here." Li Qingyun pointed to the tenderloin.
The accountant said, "Uncle, her family can get three pounds."
Their family could only get three pounds per person, but Li Qingyun didn't mind. Who doesn't like getting something for free?
With one cut, a large piece of pork tenderloin was separated out. When weighed, it was exactly three pounds.
The hands are really amazing. Li Qingyun immediately gave a thumbs up to show how awesome it is.
She asked again, "Can I have two of these bones?"
A pile of raw ribs, with the meat shaved off and only the bones left, are usually unwanted. In the end, they are sold to the big yellow dog guarding the granary in the village.
Aunt Jiang's man was the one who made the decision and gave her a lot of things.
Li Qingyun put the babies into the basin she brought with her like treasures, and then went home leisurely with the two children.
Li Qingyun didn't cook any dishes for the big pot meal at noon. She just steamed a pot of big steamed buns and would kill the pig and eat it later.
I gave Dabao some biscuits to eat as a snack and waited for lunch to bring a bowl to share the pig-killing dishes.
It was freezing cold, so everyone took a bowl and took the food home to eat.
When it was time for dinner, every family would carry their food bowls and run to the former big canteen, fearing that all the food would be distributed if they were too late.
Li Qingyun also saw someone carrying a huge washbasin, and she couldn't help but wonder if the one she was holding was too small?
She only took a half-sized ceramic bowl that she usually used to store vegetables at home. Even when Erniu was eating alone, he took a big bowl.
Sure enough, Qiuju saw her coming from a distance, and quickly raised the big basin in her hand to greet her: "Why are you holding such a small basin? Look at what the big guys are holding." After saying that, she glanced at the aunts next to her.
"It's okay. There's only me and Dabao at home. As long as there's enough food, it's fine."
The two of them stood in the middle of the queue, waiting to get their food. After getting their food, everyone did not linger but happily took their dishes and left.
It was Gu's mother who was in charge of serving the dishes. When it was Li Qingyun's turn, Gu's mother calmly scooped out several spoonfuls of pig heart, pig liver, pig lung and blood sausage, filled her bowl, and then covered it with a layer of vegetables.
Li Qingyun felt embarrassed. She had truly experienced how easy it was to be an official if you had someone in the court. The meat was too generous.
She carefully carried the basin back, waiting for Qiuju as she walked.
Gu's mother also gave Qiuju a full meal of meat and vegetables. She had been in the industry for many years and had already mastered the skills. No one could tell whether the meat was good or bad, and they all thought she was quite fair.
Qiuju happily caught up with Li Qingyun with the basin in her hand, gave her a wink, and the two smiled at each other knowingly.
This pig-killing dish smells quite delicious, but I don’t know how it tastes.
Li Qingyun didn't have high hopes at first, but after taking one bite, she couldn't stop eating. It's said that the working people are wise. Although this pig-killing dish is just a big pot of stew without any special seasonings, it tastes really delicious. This may be related to the quality of the pork and vegetables themselves.
The original pork and vegetables taste great.
Li Qingyun was rarely too full, so she and Dabao lay on the kang and didn't want to move. Erbao crawled all over them, drooling all over them.
This winter she stayed at home eating every day and gained weight visibly, but fortunately she was originally very thin, so she was not so fat that she needed to lose weight.
Dinner in the evening was still half a pot of pig-killing dishes left over from lunch.
Li Qingyun put the three pounds of pork tenderloin that the family got directly into the space, preparing to eat it during the New Year. This is domestic pork, and the meat is tender, while wild boar meat is indeed a bit dry.
The free spare ribs were stewed with radish soup and eaten with dumplings the next day.
After the New Year pig was slaughtered, the Chinese New Year was getting closer and closer. Since Gu Tingzhou had already agreed not to go home, Li Qingyun had no expectations and prepared everything for the New Year step by step.
This is her first New Year here. Even if Gu Tingzhou is not at home, she will have a prosperous time with her two children.
When Cheng Jie went to the commune, Li Qingyun asked him to help send a new letter to Gu Tingzhou, and asked him to bring back some New Year's goods for her family, and buy whatever was available.
He brought back some freshly caught frozen fish, five pounds of frozen shrimp, three pounds of kelp, ten pounds of frozen persimmons, and ten pounds of frozen pears.
Some things have purchase limits, so he can only buy so much, and the two families split the profit roughly the same.
We also brought back a lot of firecrackers for the New Year.
There is also some red paper, which can be used to cut window decorations and write couplets.
Li Qingyun was very satisfied with the frozen shrimps. She hadn't eaten shrimps for a long time and she had to save them for the New Year.
