Chapter 63: You little bastard, are you blind?
Su Qiao instructed Qin Zhengrong to clean the loaches caught by the children.
She cleaned the bones herself and cooked green bean and winter melon soup.
Mung bean and winter melon soup can clear away heat, relieve summer heat and detoxify. When the weather is hot, this is Su Qiao’s favorite soup.
After the bone soup was cooked, Su Qiao found an iron hook and heated it in the stove until it turned red, then began to clean the pig's head.
Pig heads are delicious, but not easy to clean. You need to use a red-hot iron to burn off all the hair on the pig head, then cut open the ears and clean out the earwax inside.
Qin Zhengrong was halfway through processing the loaches when he suddenly noticed Su Qiao was processing a pig's head with a red-hot iron hook in her hand.
He was so frightened that his heart was lifted up, and he quickly took two steps out, "I'll do it."
Doesn't this little woman have any idea of her own abilities?
With such thin arms and legs, he used such dangerous tools to do such dangerous things!
In this hot weather, it is indeed a bit tiring to use a red-hot iron hook to process the pig head by the stove hole.
Su Qiao was sweating profusely and her little face was red.
She didn't argue with the man and readily handed the red-hot iron hook handle to him, "Can you do it?"
Qin Zhengrong raised his eyes and glanced at her without answering, but his hands were already moving swiftly.
Su Qiao was slightly embarrassed for a moment. How could she forget that this man went up the mountain to hunt wild boars at the age of fifteen.
After the call back, he handled everything by himself.
The man took over her job, and she was originally planning to deal with loaches.
But just as she walked to the basin where the man was processing loaches and before she even squatted down, the man's unquestionable voice came from behind her, "Put it there, I'll do it.
You and the children go and rest.”
Su Qiao took a look at the loaches cocooning in the basin.
Loach is delicious, but it is also very difficult to handle.
The body was covered with slippery mucus and smelled fishy. If possible, Su Qiao didn't want to deal with it.
Now that the man had spoken, she walked into the house with a clear conscience.
It just so happened that she was planning to make a skirt for Qin Xue, but she hadn't had time to cut it yet.
Take advantage of this time to do whatever you can.
Su Qiao cut clothes for a while, and when she went out, Qin Zhengrong had already cleaned the pig's head.
At this moment, loaches were being processed in the yard. Three little guys were squatting by the basin, surrounding their uncle.
This heartwarming scene brought a little more smile to Su Qiao's eyes.
This kind of home really feels like a home.
Su Qiao went into the kitchen.
Dabao and Erbao quickly followed and ran in, "Aunt, I'll help you light the fire."
"I'll help too!"
Now Su Qiao doesn't let the two little guys do too many things, but if they are happy to do small things like making a fire, she never stops them.
"Okay, thank you Yangyang and Xiaojing." Su Qiao pinched the two little guys' slightly chubby faces and thanked them with a smile.
She threw the cleaned pig's head into the milky white bone soup in the pot and started cooking.
I got some wood ash and started cleaning the pig's large intestine, small intestine and stomach.
She had already thought of making a steamed pig intestine with rice flour, which was fragrant, soft and glutinous, and even the three treasures could eat it.
Pig intestines are used to make bitter intestine soup.
But the family can't eat so much today, so they will be hung in the well and eat slowly over the next two days.
As for the pork tripe, she planned to ask if anyone in the village had any old hens to sell tomorrow so that she could stew some chicken with the pork tripe.
Anyway, she has enough money for food and drink, so she prepares better meals for the man and children so that the children can get back in shape as soon as possible.
By the time Su Qiao cleaned the offal, the pig's head in the pot was almost cooked.
She rolled up the pig's head, soaked it in cold water to cool it down, and then separated the bones from the meat with her hands.
Save the cherry flesh for making soup in the evening, make cold pork ears, and stir-fry the pork scalp with garlic sprouts and fermented black beans.
After she prepared the dishes, Qin Zhengrong also prepared the loaches.
Wash and clean the loaches, coat them with batter, and fry them in a pan. Fry the larger loaches for a little while, then pick them up and put them back into the pan to braise.
The small ones are fried until crispy and given to the children as snacks.
The children made a lot of loaches, and the small ones were fried to fill two full bowls.
She divided one bowl into two and gave each to Dabao and Erbao. "Yangyang, Xiaojing, take these two bowls of loaches to Tiedan and Gangzi."
She had just asked the children why they were able to bring back so many loaches.
The adults in Tiedan and Gangzi's families said that loaches were a waste of oil and refused to cook them for them, so all the fish caught by the children were given to them.
Dabao and Erbao carried the loaches and ran out like a gust of wind.
Tiedan lives nearby, just next door, and it was delivered in a short while.
When the two little guys arrived at Tiedan's house, Tiedan was already drooling at the aroma coming from Su Qiao's house.
Seeing Dabao and Erbao bringing him loaches, he quickly wiped his saliva and couldn't wait to stuff one into his mouth. He instantly squinted his eyes because it was so delicious.
"Good time, thank you Yangyang and Xiaojing." Tiedan said vaguely while eating fried loach.
Dabao and Erbao also smiled happily, "Our aunt made it, isn't it good?"
"I told you, my aunt is the best person in the world, better than my mother. Do you believe it now?"
Tiedan was so confused that he nodded desperately and said, "Yes, can I also go to your house and be your aunt's child?"
Erbao can’t come back to this problem.
He scratched his head and looked at Dabao.
Dabao thought about it and said seriously: "We don't know about this either. We should ask your mother to find out!"
Tiedaner ran back with the bowl of loaches in his arms, "I'll go ask my mom right now."
Soon, Tiedan'er's grief-stricken cries were heard from Aunt Qin's home, "Why can Yangyang and Xiaojing be Aunt Qiaoqiao's children, but I can't?
I don’t want it. I also want to be Aunt Qiaoqiao’s child. Aunt Qiaoqiao knows how to fry loaches. Wuwuwu…”
…
Gangzi's home is a little far away, at the entrance of the village.
The two kids knocked on the door and it was Gangzi's mother, Aunt Biying, who opened the door.
After Auntie Biying collected the loaches from them, she also gave them half a bowl of braised beans for them to take home.
Dabao and Erbao were holding the bowls and walking back carefully.
Suddenly, with a "bang", Dabao, who was only paying attention to the bowl, bumped into someone.
Dabao was thin to begin with, and after the collision, he fell to the ground with his butt, and the half bowl of beans in his hand spilled out.
Chen Guiying followed Su Dawei into the Red Star Production Team. Thinking about having to ask Su Qiao for help later, she became so angry that she wanted to kick every dog on the street.
Now that Dabao bumped into her, the gunpowder barrel was immediately ignited.
"You little bastard, you are blind!
Do you know how much the clothes I'm wearing cost? If they get dirty, can you afford to pay for it, you little bastard?"
Chen Guiying opened her mouth and started swearing.
Even though she was just scolding him, she still felt a little unsatisfied and walked forward to kick Dabao.
