Chapter 11: Pig Offal
Xu Qingmeng bought two more chickens and ducks, some peanuts, bean curd skin, tofu, kelp and other vegetarian dishes, as well as some fresh vegetables.
Xu Qingmeng went to buy some soybeans, planning to add them to the buns she was selling tomorrow morning, as well as soy milk and tofu pudding. She also bought some mung beans, planning to make mung bean cakes for the two little ones.
After buying everything, he saw Yun Mo, who was following him obediently, and went to buy some candies, thinking of giving them to the two little ones to sweeten their mouths first.
On the way back from shopping with Yun Mo, Xu Qingmeng saw someone selling candied haws again. However, the candied haws now were of the same kind, all red hawthorns, five in a string, and three cents a string.
Xu Qingmeng's eyes widened as she watched, and she also wanted to eat some, but then she thought about her figure and decided to give up. She bought one string each for Yun Mo and Yun Sheng, and let Yun Mo take them himself.
Yun Mo was a child who had good sense. Even though he was a little greedy, he saw Xu Qingmeng wanted to eat some too, so he raised the candied haws in his hand high and handed it to Xu Qingmeng, "Sister-in-law, you eat it."
Xu Qingmeng felt warm in her heart, "Yun Mo, eat it. Sister-in-law doesn't like sour food." She also called Yun Mo, "Let's go, take the other one home for my sister to eat."
Yun Mo followed happily with his short legs.
Yun Sheng was very happy with the candied haws that Xu Qingmeng brought back. He followed Xu Qingmeng, calling her sister-in-law all the time, just like a little follower.
Xu Qingmeng first soaked the soybeans and mung beans in water separately, then tried to make soy milk and tofu pudding in the evening, and then boiled the eggs and prepared to wash the pig offal.
Yun Sheng covered her little nose, looked at the thing in Xu Qingmeng's hand with disgust, and then retreated tactically.
"Sister-in-law, this thing stinks. What are you doing with it?"
"This is delicious," Xu Qingmeng quickened his movements, then looked at the pig intestine in his hand, trying to wash and remove the odor as quickly as possible.
Pig intestines are a rather special ingredient. If they are cooked well, they are better than meat and can be addictive. However, this is also uncertain. The distribution of the population cannot be determined. After all, people who don’t like the taste will not be able to eat it no matter how delicious it is.
This thing is extremely cheap here, but if it is made well, it can be sold at a high price. Although I don't know if everyone here will like it, there will always be some people who will like it.
Yun Sheng really couldn't stand the smell, so he quickly ran back into the house, leaving Xu Qingmeng alone in the yard to wash. He hadn't come back yet.
After a while, He came back. When she returned to the yard, she saw Xu Qingmeng in the yard, washing the smelly pig intestines. She quickly went to the kitchen to boil a large pot of hot water.
At this time, Yun Mo also helped Gu Yunyi out to bask in the sun. As soon as Yun Mo came out, Yun Mo quickly pinched his nose and said in disgust,
"Brother, let's go back. The yard stinks."
Yun Mo's voice, isn't he taking care of Gu Yunyi?
Xu Qing dreamed of something and turned around suddenly, and saw Gu Yunyi standing not far away, looking like he was about to fall.
He held Yun Mo's hand and just looked at her.
"Why did you come out? It's cold outside and you've just felt better. You'd better go back to your room," he said, subconsciously wanting to get up and give him a hand.
Just as Gu Yunyi was about to say something, Yun Mo beside him hurriedly stopped him.
"Sister-in-law, please don't come over here. You really stink."
Xu Qingmeng paused, then remembered that when he washed the pig intestines, a lot of dirty water got on his clothes.
However, Xu Qingmeng immediately became unwilling, and crossed her arms around her waist, glaring at Yun Mo.
"Who told you to say that girls smell bad and that being fat is not allowed, do you understand?"
Yun Mo was puzzled. "Why?"
"Do you still want to get married in the future? Even if she is really smelly or really fat, you can't tell me. Do you hear me?"
"But children can't lie!" Xiao Yunmo said firmly.
Xu Qingmeng snorted coldly, "Then you should stay hungry at noon and don't eat."
"No, my sister-in-law is not fat at all. She smells good and doesn't smell bad at all."
Xiao Yunmo quickly changed his words, fearing that Xu Qingmeng would really not let him eat. After all, the food cooked by his sister-in-law was delicious.
Xu Qingmeng was satisfied then, and then she remembered that Gu Yunyi was still here. She saw the corner of his mouth slightly raised, as if smiling, and her face turned red instantly. When did she become so childish?
He boiled some water and came out, just in time to solve the embarrassment in front of her, "Meng Niang, go wash it first. Tell me how to deal with these things, and I'll do it."
Xu Qingmeng was not pretentious. The boss was still here, and the pig intestines had been washed. She also felt that the smell on her body was very unpleasant.
So he told Mrs. He how to deal with the remaining ingredients.
Chickens and ducks need to be dehaired with hot water. They don't need to be chopped up, just leave them whole. Pig's trotters also need the hair on the skin burned off, then split in half, and the fat cut into large chunks. Vegetarian dishes are even easier to handle.
Although He was not good at cooking, she had helped out a lot when Gu Hongxin was around. So, there was no problem for He to handle these things. After Xu Qingmeng finished speaking, He understood roughly.
Xu Qingmeng went to take a shower with peace of mind.
Xu Qingmeng took a comfortable bath, changed into clean clothes, and looked much more energetic.
Xu Qingmeng walked out of the room and saw Gu Yunyi sitting in the yard basking in the sun, reading a book in his hands.
Xu Qingmeng couldn't help but sigh that the doctor's medical skills were quite good. It was only after taking the medicine a few times, but the sequelae of Gu Yunyi being drugged had improved a lot, and he was not so weak anymore. Gu Yunyi could even sit in the yard for such a long time. The way he read so seriously was really pleasing to the eye, except that he was too thin.
Gu Yunyi was actually sitting there, not concentrating on the book, so when Xu Qingmeng came out, Gu Yunyi knew it immediately. Gu Yunyi closed the book and said seriously,
"Mother told me that you paid for the medical treatment and medicine, and I will definitely compensate you one day."
Xu Qingmeng was stunned for a moment, then said, "It's not much money, don't worry about it." Then she took the clothes she had taken off to wash.
Gu Yunyi’s mind was full of thoughts. Xu Qingmeng was still the same person, but her attitude changed so quickly. And her craftsmanship. As for the money, he was not worried. After all, with her family’s love for her, it was entirely possible to get the money. However, he did not figure out the reason for her change...
When Xu Qingmeng came back from washing clothes, He had already prepared lunch. However, due to He's cooking skills, she simply fried some cabbage and put a circle of corn pancakes on it. That was just a makeshift meal for lunch.
After all, she couldn't cook like Xu Qingmeng, so she could only make a simple pancake. Xu Qingmeng didn't care, but she didn't rush to eat. She first soaked the spices bought by He in hot water. But then she thought that Gu Yunyi was still recovering, and what He made was not suitable for Gu Yunyi to eat, so she planned to make it for him separately.
