"Oh, it ran too fast. I guess your father couldn't catch it. It looks like we can't have it for dinner tonight. Let's have the goose stewed in an iron pot in the evening." Qin Zijin clapped his hands and stood up, watching the rooster run away with a look of regret on his face.
The braised rooster with sand ginger tasted so delicious, what a pity.
As soon as Tang Simeng heard about the goose stewed in an iron pot, he immediately swallowed hard.
As for whether it was a rooster or not, she forgot.
"Okay, okay, Mom, which goose do you want to eat? I'll go catch a goose for you, okay?" Tang Simeng rubbed her hands together, looking eager to try, as if she was ready to bring back a goose and stew it for Qin Zijin at any time.
Qin Zijin raised his hand and gave her a slap: "What are you doing? Don't you want your hand anymore? Have you forgotten what I just told you? A goose is much more lethal than a rooster. If it really pecks you twice, do you still want your hand?"
"But I want to eat goose stewed in an iron pot." Tang Simeng pointed at her fingers with a face full of grievance, but there was expectation in her eyes.
Children have no resistance to delicious food.
Qin Zijin couldn't help but smile at her greedy look, raised his hand and slapped her on the head, and said unhappily, "How can you be without food? I'll have Grandpa send someone to get some food later. Don't move around. If you have nothing to do, go find your grandma and help her pick some vegetables for side dishes. I'll ask your dad to build me a simple stove."
Tang Simeng's eyes lit up when she heard that, and she immediately ran away to find Zheng Huilin to pick vegetables together.
Qin Zijin found it a little funny, but it was normal for children to be lively and active, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with Tang Simeng being like that.
Tang Can and Tang Aiguo didn't know what they were talking about. After chatting for a while, they saw Qin Zijin coming over. Tang Can immediately smiled and waved at Qin Zijin.
Qin Zijin trotted over. Tang Shen took her hand and warmed it in his palm. Seeing her face flush from running, he couldn't help but pinch her cheek in amusement: "What's wrong?"
"If you want to eat goose stewed in an iron pot, go get a simple stove. We'll make a big pot in the yard outside and eat together." Qin Zijin greeted Tang Aiguo first, then pulled Tang Shen to speak.
"Dad, I'll accompany her there first. Don't think too much. It's not a big deal. I'll talk to you about it later." Tang Can turned his head and greeted Tang Aiguo.
Qin Zijin looked at Tang Aiguo with some curiosity, wondering what the father and son were talking about.
Of course, she didn't ask, because Tang Shen would tell her eventually.
The two of them walked away quickly.
Shufen walked up to Tang Aiguo with a bit of melancholy at this time, raised her head to glance at the direction Tang Can and the others had left, and spoke carefully and nervously: "Brother Aiguo, this matter is really too much trouble for you. In fact, you don't have to do this for me. I..."
"Since you come to work here, you are one of my family. It's not a big deal. Once you have arranged your family affairs, you will be able to work with peace of mind in the future." Tang Aiguo shook his head gently, but his expression showed no emotion.
Shufen looked at him secretly, and finally lowered her head silently.
Tang Shen and Qin Zijin chose a flat place, dug a hole, found a lot of large stones to build a stove, and finally went to the kitchen to take out the big iron pot.
Qin Zijin looked at the big iron pot and rubbed her hands with anticipation. She hadn't eaten goose stewed in an iron pot for a long time.
At this time, Zheng Huilin also brought Tang Simeng back. The little girl was covered in mud and looked dirty, but her face was full of joy and she was humming a little tune.
Qin Zijin sent Tang Shen to catch the big goose.
There are quite a few big geese raised in the orchard. Each one weighs about seven or eight kilograms and is very fat.
After all, Tang Shen grew up in the countryside, so this kind of thing was easy for him. Not only did he catch the goose, he also slaughtered it on the spot for Qin Zijin.
According to Qin Zijin's request, the goose was chopped into pieces.
Qin Zijin first heated the oil and sautéed the onions, ginger and garlic, then put the chopped goose meat into the pot and stir-fried it for a while. Then he added water and various seasonings, stir-fried it again, and covered the pot.
Zheng Huilin and Tang Simeng were already washing vegetables.
There are quite a few varieties of vegetables grown here, and they all grow very well.
Qin Zijin joined the vegetable washing army.
Soon the preparations were completed and the aroma from the pot began to waft out. Everyone sniffed and almost drooled.
Tang Aiguo also came over with Shufen at this moment.
Because work has not officially started today, there are only four workers in the orchard.
Shufen is responsible for breeding.
When she came here, she felt a little embarrassed and looked up at Qin Zijin cautiously. However, Qin Zijin was busy watching the goose in the pot and had no time to pay attention to her.
The other workers were also a little reserved and stood aside without moving.
"Tang Shen, please move a small table over. Don't be polite, find a place to sit down, and you'll be able to eat in a while." Qin Zijin gave the order without even raising his head, and added some firewood.
Tang Shen went into the house and moved out the table where Tang Aiguo and his friends usually ate. The others didn't want to sit idle either, so they all went to help, some moving stools and some taking bowls and chopsticks.
Smelling the rich aroma, everyone suddenly felt hungry.
The fire was burning very brightly, so we didn't feel cold when we gathered together. Everyone rubbed their hands and looked up from time to time to take a look at the situation in the pot.
The goose meat in the pot is almost ready, but if you want it to taste good, you need to stew it for a while longer. The goose meat needs to be stewed until it is soft and tasty.
Qin Zijin put the freshly made dough on the edge of the pot.
Because of limited materials, white flour is used.
There were white flour cakes stuck to the edge, and everyone was a little curious.
People in the south rarely eat this way, so it looks very novel.
But the fragrance was not fake. They had never eaten anything so delicious before. They were swallowing their saliva desperately and couldn't wait to start eating.
Time passed by minute by minute.
After a full hour, Qin Zijin finally spoke: "Okay, you can eat now. Bring your bowls over, each of you get a bowl of meat, and then sit at the side table and eat."
Qin Zijin was still not used to eating from the same pot with strangers, so he planned to let them eat on the side.
No one had any objections, after all, it was great that you could eat it.
So everyone lined up and waited with their bowls in hand.
Shufen was also queuing at this time, her eyes were always on Qin Zijin, but she was still a little nervous.
She also just found out that the hostess was a good doctor and might be able to cure her child. She just didn't know whether Qin Zijin would agree to help, after all, she had bumped into him today.
Amidst her anxiety, it was her turn.
She silently handed the bowl to Qin Zijin, who took it and scooped a large spoonful of meat into it without even looking up.
After dividing the food among them, Qin Zijin turned to Tang Shen and said, "I feel like one goose is still not enough. There are so many of us. Go kill another one so we can have a full meal today."
