Moreover, we have a lot of mutton at home, so we can make a pork offal hot pot and a mutton hot pot.
Eating hot pot while it's snowing – life couldn't be more pleasant.
He Shitou was very diligent in washing vegetables, and the children liked to ask him to do things for them.
After all, it's more reassuring to order around He Shitou than to order around Young Master Sun.
The well water, freshly drawn in winter, wasn't cold; it was warm. Besides, He Shitou had thick skin and wasn't afraid of his hands getting cold.
He was secretly delighted to have such an easy life when he saw a dark shadow blocking the light in front of him.
He Shitou, sitting on a small stool, looked up and saw Sun Qi, her face flushed, blocking the doorway with an axe in her hand.
He couldn't even breathe properly when he opened his mouth, "Cough cough... Brother Stone, let's switch roles."
Sun Qi felt he was losing face. He wanted to grit his teeth and keep chopping wood, but his hands wouldn't allow it.
He felt his hands trembling and he couldn't lift the axe.
He Tiantian was chopping cabbage when she saw Sun Qi looking mournful at the door, so she instructed He Shitou.
"Stone, go chop some firewood. Leave some easy work for Young Master Sun."
Having no other choice, He Shitou got up, grabbed the axe, and went outside.
Just as Sun Qi was about to sit down and continue washing the vegetables, He Tiantian said again, "Young Master Sun, could you please wash the pig intestines in that basin?"
Wash the pig intestines... Sun Qi looked shocked.
He felt very uncomfortable looking at the basin full of white intestines.
"Auntie, do we need to wash the food for the dog?"
Does anyone dare to eat pig intestines? They smell like filth! Even dogs wouldn't eat that stuff!
Zhao Wanzi was very unhappy with what Young Master Sun said and retorted, "Hmph, I'm afraid that once my mother has cooked the pig intestines, Young Master Sun will eat them with more relish than a dog!"
"Pfft..." Li Qianqian couldn't help but laugh.
However, she didn't dare wash pig intestines either. Those things looked too scary; she wouldn't even touch them.
Not just pig intestines, Li Qianqian rarely dared to touch any kind of meat.
Vegetables are the best; they grow clean and cute. Just eat more vegetables.
Unable to argue with the women in the room, Sun Qi disdainfully picked up a basin of intestines, intending to pour water and wash them.
He Tiantian couldn't stand the pungent smell either, so she handed the brush, salt, and starch to Sun Qi.
She then carefully explained to Sun Qi the correct order for cleaning the pig intestines. After that, she sent her away to wash them by the small river not far from the door.
If you feel you can't wash it well, you can ask He Shitou to help you.
Sun Qi, of course, didn't want to suffer, so he grabbed He Shitou as soon as they left the house.
As the two passed by the old locust tree at the entrance, they happened to run into Zhao Xiaohe, who was strolling around.
After exchanging a brief greeting, the three of them carried the pig intestines to the riverbank.
Zhao Xiaohe couldn't forget the magnificent horse that Young Master Sun owned, so he wanted to come and see it.
Instead of seeing a fine horse, they became laborers to do the work.
He Shitou and Zhao Xiaohe had both eaten pig intestines before, and the taste was so delicious that they still remember it vividly.
As for washing, the two of them were naturally very skilled at it. After all, Aunt He used to make them do the washing.
He Shitou took a stone and smashed several holes in the ice on the shore. The ice surface quickly cracked, revealing several openings.
Zhao Xiaohe pulled out a section of intestines and skillfully threw it into the river to wash it.
He also said happily, "Brother Stone, do you think I can catch fish if I throw my intestines here for a while?"
Just thinking about the delicious fish soup made Zhao Xiaohe's mouth water.
He Shitou slapped Zhao Xiaohe on the back of the head. "Be careful or I'll throw you into the river. That way we can catch more fish! What are you doing out here so early in the morning in this freezing weather?"
Zhao Xiaohe glanced at the still hesitant Young Master Sun and said, "Hey, I just wanted to see Young Master Sun's horse."
He was so scared yesterday that he didn't even have time to take a good look at the horse.
Hearing this, He Shitou also became curious.
Their village has quite a few horses now; Zhao Yange's family has one, Director Song's family has one, and their family has one.
I originally thought that the horses of those three families were the most handsome and best-looking in the world.
But when he saw Young Master Sun's horse, he could only say that there are always people better than you, and there are always horses better than you.
Where did Young Master Sun buy his horse? It's so good-looking and pleasing to the eye!
He Shitou, holding the pig intestines, nudged Young Master Sun without any politeness.
"Brother Sun, how much did you buy that horse for?"
Sun Qi kept his mouth tightly shut, his face turning bright red. He finally managed to overcome his mental defenses and squeezed out a pig intestine.
"Yes, Brother Sun, your horse must have been very expensive, right?" Zhao Xiaohe asked.
Sun Qi tossed the pig intestines into the river, "Of course...that horse was three hundred...ugh..."
Finally, Sun Qi vomited up the glutinous rice balls she had eaten that morning.
Damn it, this stuff stinks! Even if it tasted delicious, he wouldn't eat it!
If he eats pig intestines, he'll cut off his own head and stuff it inside!
He Shitou and Zhao Xiaohe were used to it; after all, they had gone through the same thing back then.
"Brother Sun, just bear with it a little longer. You'll get used to it after a few more washes."
Sun Qi threw the pig intestines on the ground, yelling, "Useful my ass! It's disgusting!"
Zhao Xiaohe and He Shitou looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
Zhao Xiaohe urged, "Young Master Sun, finish what you have to say. Three hundred taels of silver?"
Three hundred taels of silver is far too expensive. He probably won't be able to afford such a fine horse in his lifetime.
