"E'zi, what did you say? I can't hear you!" The deaf old lady didn't dare to look Lou Xiao'e in the eye, and lowered her head guiltily, still intending to pretend to be deaf and dumb to fool her.
"Hahaha," Lou Xiao'e laughed miserably. She never expected that the old lady's kindness towards her was all a lie.
What's good for you? That seemingly kind old lady, she's really just calculating.
"Lou Xiao'e, stop pretending. If I hadn't overheard you, I wouldn't have known you were this kind of person."
Xu Damao couldn't wait a moment longer; his disgust for Lou Xiao'e had reached its peak.
"Fine, let's get a divorce. Just don't regret it, Xu Damao," Lou Xiao'e said without further explanation.
I had felt guilty towards Xu Damao before, but after this incident, all those feelings were gone. I didn't need to explain anymore. I was going to leave sooner or later anyway, so I might as well do it now.
"I regret it? Bah, I bet you are. I'd like to see who would want a capitalist's daughter like you after the divorce."
"She's still a hen that can't lay eggs." Xu Damao scoffed, "How could I possibly regret it?"
Lou Xiao'e looked at Xu Damao with a mocking expression, without saying anything more.
She had initially felt guilty towards Xu Damao, having already troubled her father to find a descendant of the imperial physician to treat him, but now that was all right, it was no longer necessary.
He, Xu Damao, is not worthy. Lou Xiao'e only hopes that Xu Damao will have many children and grandchildren in the future!
Lou Xiao'e's last lingering affection for Xu Damao vanished completely.
Yan Bugui was completely bewildered. Wasn't it supposed to be about Sha Zhu beating Xu Damao? How did it turn into Lou Xiao'e having an ambiguous relationship with Sha Zhu, and Xu Damao wanting a divorce?
"Da Mao, you really need to think this through. Divorce is no small matter. Although I don't know exactly what's wrong between you two, as the saying goes, 'It's better to tear down a temple than to tear it down.'"
Don't ruin a marriage. No, I'm not advising you, I'm telling you, you need to think this through yourself.
"Divorce is a big deal." Yan Bugui hurriedly explained when he saw Xu Damao looking at him with a grim expression.
"Yes, Damao, you should think this through."
"Uncle Yan, I, Xu Damao, thank you, but I'm determined to get a divorce today," Xu Damao said to everyone, closing his eyes and calming himself down.
Seeing this, Yan Bugui was too lazy to say anything more. He had already tried to persuade him and said what he wanted to say. Even if word got out later, no one could say that he, the old man, hadn't tried to stop him.
"Let's go. What are you looking at?" Xu Damao glared at Lou Xiao'e and said expressionlessly.
"Okay, okay." Lou Xiao'e bit her lip lightly, nodded, and smiled.
Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e exchanged a glance, then Xu Damao left. In this era...
Divorce is an unbelievable thing. If it weren't for Chairman Lou pulling strings behind the scenes, this divorce would never have happened.
After Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e left, everyone looked at each other, no one had expected this.
Things ended like this.
Ma Hua chuckled twice, finding the situation increasingly interesting and amusing.
After enjoying the excitement, I still have to go home and continue with my work.
As soon as Ma Hua got home, he closed the bedroom door and slipped into the game courtyard.
MCA is currently busy making sausages.
If you bring fresh meat home every day, it's hard to explain. You might as well make some sausages or cured meat.
If anyone asks, just say you cook for people, and they give it to you.
Besides, who can resist the deliciousness of this sausage?
In winter, it's like being in Northeast China without sauerkraut and goose when it snows.
Although I could pass, it still didn't feel right.
For these sausages, MCA even went to trouble Brother Liu from the supply and marketing cooperative. If it weren't for Brother Liu, MCA wouldn't have been able to get them on their own.
This stuff is in high demand; you can't buy it without connections.
Although the MCA (Malaysian Chinese Association) can make their own sausage casings, they can't just slaughter all the pigs raised in their system's backyard for their small intestines.
Ma Hua first soaked the dried sausage casings he got from Brother Liu in warm water.
Then, sharpening his knife, Ma Hua looked at the lively little black piglets before him, his mouth practically watering.
Little pig, little pig, it's not that I want to kill you, it's just that the sausage is tempting me. I can't help it.
If you really can't rest in peace after dying, then go find our Factory Director Yang, or Factory Director Liu will do too.
After the MCA finished slaughtering the pig, they used a knife to cut the meat they needed.
For the meat used in making sausages, it's best to choose meat from the front or hind leg. It should be three parts fat and seven parts lean. This way, it won't be greasy or dry.
Ma Hua changed the prepared meat into small cubes and put them in a large bowl.
Prepare the seasonings for making sausages: ginger water, salt, sugar, chicken bouillon, pepper, thirteen-spice powder, light soy sauce, Sichuan peppercorn powder, and white wine.
Put all the seasonings into the large bowl containing the pork according to the proportions, rub them evenly with your hands, and set aside for later use.
Take the soaked sausage casings out, squeeze out the water, rinse them with white wine, and drain them.
One end is tied with hemp rope, and the other end is placed on a special enema machine.
Technology truly changes lives; otherwise, the current methods would be exhausting.
After the sausage is stuffed, take out a needle and poke small holes in the surface of the sausage.
It won't crack easily when steaming or boiling later. Then tie it in sections with hemp rope.
Finally, after hanging them in a well-ventilated, shady place for more than ten days, the delicious sausages are ready.
Ma Hua not only made five-spice, spicy, and southern-style dishes.
Ma Hua was delighted to see the courtyard filled with hanging sausages, but alas, it lacked leaves.
I can't make smoked bacon or sausages now. I'll have to wait until I have some free time to go to Huaibaishu Street and get some cypress leaves.
