Chapter 586 Zhou Xilai marries a wife
The villagers are generally poor, but Zhoujiazhuang is considered to be relatively good. Almost every family has someone working at the "Liren Textile Factory", and the village economy is relatively active.
But even so, no one's wedding had ever been so grand.
At most, I would cut a few pounds of pork and cook a pot of vermicelli dishes.
If you don’t have money, just make a pot of vegetarian vermicelli dish.
However, whether it is vegetarian or meat, the big pot dishes taste very good.
Because it is stewed in a large pot for a long time, the aroma is absorbed into the dish, making it taste extra delicious.
The Zhou family was the only family that held a banquet and cooked vermicelli dishes.
Xue Guixiang was not showing off, she just felt that her brother-in-law should not be stingy and feel wronged in his marriage, so that she could be worthy of the dead man.
Chicken and pork were hard to buy, so she contacted the chicken and pig farmers in advance and ordered their chickens and pigs.
It was difficult to get fifty or sixty chickens, so she bought almost all the chickens in half of the village.
Two big fat pigs weighing 200 kilograms were fed so well that they were fat and strong. A white knife went in and a red knife came out.
There is strength in numbers and the work can be done quickly. A dozen women, each holding a chicken and a kitchen knife, closed their eyes and chopped off the chicken's neck. The chicken died before it could even whimper.
After a few rounds of killing, the chickens were almost all killed.
A large pot had been set up over there, with the water in it boiling. Dozens of chickens were thrown into a large iron basin, and boiling water was poured on them. A foul fishy smell came to the nose.
But people don’t mind it. There is no fishy smell, so how can the chicken smell good?
The dead chickens were piled up in a large basin, steaming, and accompanied by people's laughter. Everyone was very excited, even happier than when they had a celebration at home.
The women took the chickens out of the basin while they were still hot and began to pluck their feathers.
The permed chicken feathers are still easy to pluck, and you can get a handful at a time.
In an instant, the yard was in chaos.
The thick chicken feathers were quickly plucked off, leaving only the thin feathers, which the women pinched off one by one with tweezers.
After processing the chickens, a few women were left to clean them while the rest went to kill the fish.
The fish was bought from the reservoir by someone else.
The villagers had never eaten fish and were not familiar with killing fish. It was only with Qiao Jingzhen's demonstration that everyone learned how to kill fish.
When the fish was bought, it was lively and slippery, and timid women dared not touch it.
The brave woman began to kill them one by one according to the method taught by Qiao Jingzhen.
First, use a small hammer to knock the fish unconscious, then scrape off the scales and cut open its belly.
The villagers worked efficiently. Although it was a bit difficult to kill dozens of fish, they finally finished killing them.
The last step is to wash and pick the vegetables.
In addition to the banquet at noon tomorrow, we will also have a meal of dumplings in the morning.
The dumplings are filled with cabbage, green onions and meat. The meat is freshly slaughtered pork, and the cabbage and green onions are fresh vegetables grown by the villagers themselves.
After washing the vegetables, everyone put the large chopping board on the table and chopped vegetables and meat in the yard to prepare dumplings for tomorrow morning.
Several people gathered around a large chopping board, some were chopping vegetables, some were chopping meat, working busily.
The children were running around and shouting, and a group of dogs came to take advantage of the situation and see if there were any discarded meat bones.
After the vegetables and meat were chopped, several women were responsible for putting them into basins, and several women began to knead the dough and prepare to make dumplings.
The flour was also bought through someone else.
One pot of vegetables, one pot of chicken, one pot of fish, three pots of pork, half a pot of chicken offal, one pot of pork offal, and one pot of pork stuffing.
They are placed there in a row, which looks very grand.
