Chapter 57 Eating from the same pot (I)
Since Lu Xiaoxiao was the last one in line, there was no meat left when it was her turn. Apart from some lean meat, bones, pig's trotters and pig's head, she asked the captain if she could have pig's trotters and ribs.
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the captain looked at her in surprise and said, "Don't you want meat? Although it's not fatty, it's better than pig's trotters and spareribs that don't have much meat."
After hearing what the captain said, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel lucky that there was no fat. She had never eaten wild boar meat before. If there was fat, how could she eat it? She never eats fat.
Although Lu Xiaoxiao thought so in her heart, she couldn't say it, otherwise she would definitely be regarded as a psychopath. Nowadays, there are still people who don't like to eat big fat meat.
"Captain, I was thinking that when we eat the big pot later, we can't have all the bones. It will taste better if we add more meat. Besides, I'm still growing and bones are just right for making soup."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, several team leaders, accountants and butchers all thought that this was a good child. She had just arrived in the village and was already thinking about the villagers. They couldn't let the child suffer any harm.
So after discussing, they gave Lu Xiaoxiao four pig's trotters and two large pieces of pork ribs. They also felt that Lu Xiaoxiao was at a disadvantage with this distribution, after all, these two things looked great but had too many bones. Many people in the village also thought that this kid was stupid, who didn't want meat but bones.
If Lu Xiaoxiao knew what they were thinking, she would definitely say that I was not at a disadvantage at all, and I was not stupid. You know, these things were much more expensive than meat in later generations.
Lu Xiaoxiao asked the butcher to help her chop a slab of pork ribs and two pig's trotters into pieces for making soup. She planned to make the other slab of pork ribs and two pig's trotters into salty cured meat, which would be perfect for stewing radishes and making hot pot.
Seeing so many pig trotters and ribs, Lu Xiaoxiao was still thinking about how to take them home, when she saw Aunt Cauliflower walking towards her from a distance with a backpack.
When Aunt Cauliflower walked up to Lu Xiaoxiao, she said, "I knew you didn't bring anything to pack the meat. I just brought the basket back to find you after I sent the meat home."
After hearing what Aunt Caihua said, Lu Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, Auntie, you are so thoughtful. Otherwise, I really don't know how to take the meat home."
When Aunt Caihua helped Lu Xiaoxiao carry the pig's trotters and ribs she was given to Lu Xiaoxiao and sent them to her home, she asked Lu Xiaoxiao, "Why do you only want bones and not meat? Even though it's lean meat, it's better than bones."
After hearing what Aunt Caihua said, Lu Xiaoxiao said, "I heard from a doctor in the city that drinking bone soup is good for the body and helps grow taller, so it's just right for me to drink it at my age now."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Aunt Cauliflower thought to herself that there was such a saying. It seems that she can buy bones to make soup for her grandson at home in the future. After all, bones are cheap and free of charge. No matter whether it is as good as the doctor said, at least the soup made from it will have a meaty taste.
After Lu Xiaoxiao got home, she put the bones in a basin. She took her bowl and chopsticks and went to the threshing ground with Aunt Cauliflower to wait for the big pot meal.
When she arrived at the threshing ground, Lu Xiaoxiao saw dozens of aunts busy around ten large pots. Many children were circling around them in groups, licking their lips from time to time. The men were chatting in groups of three or five. She felt particularly warm seeing such a scene.
About half an hour later, Lu Xiaoxiao was chatting with Aunt Cauliflower and her daughter-in-law when she suddenly heard a voice saying "It's time to eat." Before she could react, she felt as if thousands of horses were galloping past her. All the people in the threshing ground were running towards the ten large pots. Aunt Cauliflower also pulled her, who was confused, and walked quickly towards the pots.
