Lin Qiaoqiao returned home, opened the cupboard, poured all the seasonings she was going to use onto the newspaper, and then packed them into a ball. She made sure nothing was left out before leaving in a hurry.
When they returned to Li Xiaoyan's home, the goose's blood had been drained and the boiling hot water had been poured on the goose.
Li Xiaoyan's mother-in-law was plucking the hair quickly, and soon the ground was covered with hair.
Lin Qiaoqiao put the seasoning she brought back on the stove and squatted down to help.
"The water is hot, don't move!" Seeing this, Yu Li quickly reached out to stop him.
Lin Qiaoqiao rolled up her sleeves and said, "I'm not afraid of this little bit of heat. I used to do this kind of work at home."
Yu Li then let go of her hand, then lowered her head and continued plucking the hair quickly.
"I used to hear people say you were lazy and greedy, but it was only after getting to know you that I realized you were a hardworking girl."
"Don't believe the rumors. Others have their mouths on their bodies and I can't stop them from saying anything. Anyway, it's enough for you to know what kind of person I am." Lin Qiaoqiao moved her hands very quickly and soon pulled out all the hair on the ground.
Yu Li picked up the big feathers and put them aside, and put the down into a bag. "These goose feathers are really good. If we save them, we can make a down quilt."
"It's really a good thing. I won't feel cold in winter if I cover myself with it." Lin Qiaoqiao thought of the thick quilt that made people feel depressed. "Auntie, do you think these goose feathers are easy to collect?"
Yu Li, "It's easy to collect. Haven't you heard of exchanging goose feathers for sugar? Every once in a while, a peddler would come to the village and shout "exchange goose feathers for sugar" as he walked. In fact, you can exchange anything, salt, MSG, hairbands, hairpins, and so many other things!"
Lin Qiaoqiao thought of hoarding goose feathers, "Then how do they usually collect them?"
"What's the matter? Do you want to collect some goose feathers?" Yu Li asked.
Lin Qiaoqiao nodded decisively, "Isn't the weather cold? I was thinking of making two new quilts, but cotton is expensive and hard to get. If I had goose feathers, I could make goose down quilts, which would be thin and warm."
Yu Li, "You are a clever kid, so you can take these goose feathers back! They will just stay there anyway, and you will have to keep them for several more years!"
"It's not good for me to eat and take at the same time!" Lin Qiaoqiao didn't want to take advantage of others for nothing, especially if it was someone she knew. It would be even more embarrassing.
Yu Li smiled and said, "What's there to be embarrassed about? It's just some goose feathers. Even if you exchange them for sugar, you can only get half a pound.
Why don't you get some sugar and exchange it with the people in the village to make two quilts? That should be enough."
Lin Qiaoqiao was thinking about collecting goose feathers when she came back from Jinghai, and then making the quilts before the weather got cold, and try to make one for each person, but she didn't know if she would succeed.
The goose feathers were plucked quickly, and the next step was to chop the goose with a kitchen knife. The old lady was clumsy and she gestured with the knife, not daring to start.
Lin Qiaoqiao took the kitchen knife and began her performance. With one cut, the goose legs were removed, and with a few more cuts, the big goose was divided into several pieces.
After some chopping, the big goose meat was divided.
Yu Li, "It takes several years to master the knife skills. Do you often kill chickens at home?"
Lin Qiaoqiao, "I don't kill often, I just like chopping things. Over time, my knife skills have improved."
Yu Li admired her very much, "You are a capable girl."
Lin Qiaoqiao poured some more water into the large basin, washed the goose meat, and then put it into another basin. In a short while, sweat appeared on her face.
It takes more than an hour to stew a goose in an iron pot, so you have to speed up the process.
Yu Li was unable to help much and could only light the fire and watch the goose being put into the pot, which soon began to emit a fragrant aroma.
Then Lin Qiaoqiao started to cut the side dishes and mixed a small bowl of cornmeal with warm water and added a little white flour. It was the first time she saw this way of eating and it seemed quite strange.
Seeing that it was almost time, Lin Qiaoqiao went to the school to pick up Qin Ling.
I heard that I could eat Qinling goose at noon and my mouth almost watered with greed.
Lin Qiaoqiao waited until the Cao family father and son arrived home before opening the pot lid. The corn cakes were already cooked and placed in the pot. The goose meat was stewed very brightly, and there were dried potatoes and vegetables in it. It was a big pot full.
The Cao family was very greedy after seeing this. It was the first time for them to see a goose stewed so deliciously.
Li Xiaoyan quickly took the spatula to serve the food. She couldn't wait to eat it.
There are two tables at home put together so that we can sit on the kang to eat.
Lin Qiaoqiao was also hungry. The pancake in her hand was so delicious. From time to time, she would put some meat on it for the two children to make sure they were full. She, on the other hand, liked the side dishes. The goose meat was very delicious but it was also sticky.
They all left with full stomachs.
Yu Li asked them to take a bowl back for Qin Fang to taste. Lin Qiaoqiao declined a few times, but seeing their tough attitude she had no choice but to take it back.
She also took back the small bag of goose feathers.
She originally delivered the goods to the door, but ended up bringing back more than she delivered.
When I brought the goose feathers back, she washed them with water, then took them outside, spread a fiberglass bag on the ground, and then spread the goose feathers on top. After being exposed to the sun for an afternoon, they could be collected at night.
The first thing Qin Fang saw when he got home was the goose feathers on the ground. He felt a little strange and wondered where the goose feathers came from.
After parking the car, he took the lunch box out of the car and found a few cut salted duck eggs inside.
Qin Ling ran out of the house, jumping and skipping like a monkey, and came to his brother, "Brother, there will be delicious food tonight!"
Qin Fang handed the lunch box to his brother, "What did your sister-in-law make for you again?"
Qin Ling opened the lunch box and saw salted duck eggs inside. "So many duck eggs!"
"You can have it with porridge tomorrow morning." Qin Fang was thinking that he could raise some chickens, ducks and geese in the yard next year so that he wouldn't have to worry about having eggs to eat.
When Lin Qiaoqiao heard the cheerful voices outside, she quickly took the rice out of the pot and put it on the table.
When Qin Fang entered the room, he saw meat on the plate on the table. The texture didn't look like chicken. "Is this duck or goose?"
Lin Qiaoqiao put the bowls and chopsticks on the table, "Goose meat, I went to Xiaoyan's house today, and it happened that the geese in her family lost a fight and were very angry, so I helped to cook a pot of stewed goose in an iron pot, and we had lunch at her house at noon.
When you left, you asked me to bring a bowl back for you to try. I had no choice but to bring it back. It wasn't that I insisted on bringing it back, but it was given to me by someone. Come and try the goose I stewed today and see if it's delicious."
Qin Fang laughed, "Your luck is unstoppable. It's rare to see a big goose being angry to death, but you happened to be there."
Lin Qiaoqiao didn't see the scene, but she saw the lungs became very big when she opened the goose's stomach.
"The lungs have become so big, I'll handle it myself!"
