Chapter 37
Li Li and Su Qingci felt very aggrieved as they carried the big goose.
Her face was tearful, and she whimpered every few steps.
As soon as they entered the educated youth site, the two looked at each other, smiled, and high-fived.
"Yeah, Qingci, you're awesome."
"You're not bad either, you cooperated very well."
"I've made a killing! This goose weighs eight or nine pounds. If I go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy meat, I not only need a meat coupon, but the price is also 70 or 80 cents per pound."
"Although goose meat isn't as good as pork, but after it's been slaughtered, it weighs at least seven pounds of meat and bones. We got it for two dollars, which is a great bargain."
"Oh, it was worth it for me to be twisted twice. If I could eat meat every day, I would be happy to be chased by geese."
"Well, look how happy you are."
"Pick it up quickly. It's hot, so we'll fry it tonight."
"Let the river clams and river snails grow for two days to let them spit out the mud."
"Thanks to the captain today, otherwise Hu Qingxi would not have let it go so easily."
"I heard that the captain's eldest grandson was also chased by a goose."
"Send a bowl over after I fry it tonight."
Li Li rubbed her hands in anticipation, "Okay, tonight I'll let you try my specialty, the iron pot goose."
The two went into the house, found some iodine and wiped it, then started cleaning up quickly.
The big goose is chopped into pieces, blanched and taken out, an iron pan is heated, and the fatty goose fat is thrown in to refine the oil.
Li Li also carefully found a jar to collect the excess oil, intending to use it for cooking later.
Throw in the spices and stir-fry until fragrant, then pour in the drained goose meat and stir-fry until the surface turns yellow. Then add the seasoning, pour in water to cover it, and let it simmer slowly over low heat.
After half an hour, stir-fry for a while and then put a circle of pancakes around it.
When Luo Song and Lu Linping returned, the water in the goose meat had dried up, leaving only oil in the soup.
Li Li picked up a piece and gave it to Su Qingci. The meat was soft, tender and delicious, with a rich and fragrant flavor.
Luo Song and Lu Linping were so tired that they could no longer move their feet around the pot.
Su Qingci looked at the sky, served a bowl of meat, and picked out two goose legs.
He whispered, "I'm going to the captain's house. You two are covered in mud, go wash up quickly."
"When you guys are done washing up, I should be back, and then we can eat."
Liu Dazhu looked at Su Qingci who was carrying the bowl and said with a stern face, "Take it back, take it back. Who do you think I am?"
Su Qingci smiled and said, "Uncle Liu, I'm not giving this to you to eat."
"I'm giving it to Changxing."
"I heard that Changxing was also chased by this damn goose last time. Our Changxing should eat a goose leg to calm down."
The corners of Liu Dazhu's mouth twitched. What happened two months ago was used to calm him down now?
"Besides, if it weren't for Uncle Liu today, we wouldn't know how badly Hu Qingxi would have bullied us."
"Xia Xiang, you can see that this goose is so big that even the four of us new educated youth can't finish it. And it's so hot, if we don't finish it, it might go bad overnight."
Liu Dazhu tried to push Su Qingci away a few times, but she remained unmoved. Seeing his two grandsons secretly swallowing their saliva, he kept silent, thinking that he would repay her the favor when he had the chance in the future.
Seeing the man's expression, Song Manhua quickly took out a large bowl and emptied Su Qingci's bowl for her.
He kept thanking her on behalf of his grandson.
Seeing that there were two large goose legs on top of the bowl of meat, I felt even more grateful.
"This Su Zhiqing is so generous. He gave us both legs and the meat was all good. He didn't even give us the claws or the head."
"This full bowl weighs at least one and a half to two kilograms. It's not something you just do for show."
Seeing his sons and daughters-in-law staring at him, Liu Dazhu instructed Song Manhua, "Chop the two goose legs into smaller pieces, so that the child can eat as much as possible. Add some vegetables to the other dishes and stir-fry them so that everyone can have some meat."
Song Manhua nodded and told her son and daughter-in-law, "Just eat it, but don't go out and tell anyone about it, or you'll cause trouble for others."
"If you eat someone's meat, you must remember their kindness. If you encounter any problems outside, you should help them if you can."
When they returned to the educated youth site, Luo Song and Lu Linping washed and set the dishes in place as quickly as possible.
The two were listening with great interest to Li Li talking about her afternoon confrontation with Hu Qingxi.
Seeing Su Qingci coming back, they couldn't wait to start working, and each of them took out fifty cents.
Hu Qingxi has been extremely depressed recently.
She found that after a new educated youth extorted a goose from her, more and more people started coming to her house.
A few people also asked her in a roundabout way why the geese at home were not released now?
How could she dare to let it out?
She had gotten away with it once before and used half a goose to pay for the medical expenses. If it happened again, she would be dead.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
"Bah, these educated youth from the city are too shameless."
Su Qingci was lying on the lawn, holding a small bottle in her hand towards the sunlight.
This was the thing that the old man at the recycling station gave her last time.
It is somewhat similar to the snuff bottles used by ancient kings and princes.
The colors are bright, the patterns are retro, and the design is small and exquisite.
There is also a seal in traditional Chinese characters at the bottom.
"If this thing is kept in the future, it should be quite valuable, right?"
"Just because you stuffed a few candies on me?"
"It seems the old man has a lot of good things."
Song Jingzhou let go of the ox rope and walked over. "Xiao Su, the educated youth, do you want to go to town?"
"I heard they got a few pigs on the black market, and they don't need tickets."
Su Qingci Yiding, "Go, you must go."
If she were to say the only good thing about living in this era, it would be that she could eat local pork, chicken and duck.
The goose she ate last night was so delicious that it almost reached her throat. The pork here is completely different from the pork raised with feed in later generations.
If she had the chance, she would like to buy some more to make room.
The pork in later generations is grown by feeding it with feed for several months, not to mention the nutrition and calcium supplements.
The pig itself is calcium deficient.
What's more, she was just planning to meet the old man at the scrap yard.
Seeing Su Qingci's cheerful agreement, Song Jingzhou couldn't help but smile.
He guessed right, he was indeed craving meat.
After releasing the cattle, when Su Qingci returned to the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, Song Jingzhou was already waiting there holding a 28-inch bicycle.
From a distance, the piled rocks look like jade and the rows of pines look like emerald green.
He turned his head and curled his lips, appearing both wild, chivalrous and gentle, three parts bright and three parts ruffian.
When they arrived in town, Su Qingci took out ten dollars.
"I have other things to do. Please help me buy the meat. Buy as much as you can. If you don't have enough money, you can help me with it first and I will give you more later."
Song Jingzhou raised his eyebrows and didn't ask any more questions. After taking the money, he agreed with Su Qingci to wait for him under the archway at the town entrance after he finished his business.
Old man Wei was half asleep when he suddenly saw a white fist appear in front of him. He opened his eyes and saw that the fist was open with a few candies on it.
"You again?"
He quickly extended and retracted his fingers, kicking a few candies into his arms.
"Tell me, are you going to cover the wall or care about national affairs this time?"
Su Qingci laughed and stated his purpose directly.
"Old man, do you still have that thing from last time?"
"No."
"Shall I exchange something good for you?"
"No."
"food."
"No...uh?"
"Food? Sweet potatoes?"
"We have rice, noodles, and meat. We'll see what you have. We won't let you suffer any loss."
