Chapter 7 Nine Turns of the Large Intestine
When Su Tao returned to the educated youth site, the educated youth who had worked that morning had already returned and were preparing to eat in the greenhouse. Su Tao hadn't paid for food in the first place, so he had no food to eat. Hu Xiao had been absent that morning, so no one had offered her any food.
"I'll cook later, you can eat with me." Su Tao turned to Hu Xiao and said.
Hu Xiao was stunned. She didn't expect Su Tao could really cook. Hu Xiao's cooking skills were not very good either. She planned to cook a quick meal for herself after she came back.
Hu Xiao helped Hu Sutao put the quilts, kettles and other daily necessities into the dormitory, and then he and Sutao carried pork, flour, refined rice, etc. into the kitchen.
Su Tao wasn't worried about his belongings being stolen. In those days of scarcity, everyone had a count of their belongings. If someone was caught stealing, it would be a serious offense and they would go to jail. Besides, with everyone coming and going in the dormitory, stealing would be easy to spot.
Everyone looked at the meat, flour, and rice Su Tao had brought back with envy. How much did that cost? For educated youth like them, a day's work points was only worth 50 cents, not enough to buy a pound of pork. Their families didn't give them much in the way of coupons, so eating meat once a month was a luxury.
Shen Ziqian looked at Su Tao's busy figure and fell into deep thought. He thought that Su Taotao's father was the manager of a state-owned restaurant, and their family conditions were considered upper-middle-class even in the city. In the past, Taotao would give him any delicious food first, and he also enjoyed Su Taotao's attention. If Su Taotao's temperament had not become more and more spoiled, and He Xinyi had not appeared, he might still be with Su Taotao and would not have come to the countryside. Life in the countryside was not easy, and Shen Ziqian felt a little complicated for a while.
The educated youth had just finished cooking, and the stove was still burning, saving Su Tao the trouble of having to light a fire. He planned to use half of the lean pork he'd bought to make dumplings. He minced the pork filling, mixed salt, soy sauce, cooking wine, and other seasonings in the right proportions, and set it aside to marinate. He hung the remaining half of the pork with a rope at the bottom of the well to cool for a few days. Then he found an enamel basin, poured out the flour, and deftly kneaded the dough and rolled out the dough, his movements flowing as smoothly as flowing water.
Hu Xiao stared at Su Tao with his eyes wide open, watching as he quickly wrapped the dough and meat filling into plump white buns. His eyes lit up, and he admired Su Tao so much that he almost worshipped him. He helped Su Tao put the buns into the steamer and steamed them on the stove.
After finishing the buns, Su Tao planned to deal with the pig intestines.
"Oh my, it turns out there are people who like to eat this kind of dirty and smelly stuff~" Sun Chuanfang pinched his nose and laughed.
Su Tao glared back at her, and Sun Chuanfang fell silent instantly. Su Tao's ferocious image that day was still vivid in her mind. Why did she dare to provoke her?
Seeing that she was no longer picky, Su Tao returned to processing the pig intestines. He was preparing to make the Nine-Turn Large Intestine.
Su Tao first soaks the large intestine in vinegar, then turns it over and rubs it with flour, repeating this process several times. Finally, he boils the large intestine in cold water, removes it, and cuts it into small pieces. Pour out the hot water, heat some oil until 70% hot, then add the large intestine, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and other seasonings and stir-fry over high heat until the sauce thickens.
The aroma of the Nine-Turn Large Intestine wafted into the air, and the food that the educated youth had been trying to fill suddenly became bland and inedible, making it difficult to swallow.
Large intestines are difficult to store, so Su Tao bought so much, intending to share it with the educated youth.
"If you don't mind, come over and try my cooking," Su Tao warmly invited everyone to come over. The educated youth, already hungry from the aroma of the large intestine, picked up their bowls and came over to taste it.
Because of what happened just now, Sun Chuanfang was too embarrassed to come over to eat. She stared at everyone's happy expressions, hoping that Su Tao would give her a chance and invite her over to eat.
Su Tao is not a saint. Sun Chuanfang provoked her again and again, but Su Tao would never give her a good face. She ignored her and pretended not to see it.
He Xinyi and her good friend Li Yongmei had a conflict with Su Tao recently, so they didn't come over either. They just ate steamed buns and sweet potato porridge dryly.
Shen Ziqian went to eat with everyone and invited He Xinyi to come and eat with them. He Xinyi was reluctant, so he didn't force her and turned back to continue grabbing the large intestine.
"Oh, this bastard." Su Tao cursed him in his heart. He didn't know why his wife liked him. And that He Xinyi, Su Tao could see through it. She was clearly a little white flower, a plastic flower sister. His wife was really blind, she couldn't see that.
Several pounds of large intestines, a large pot, were devoured in no time by a dozen young men who hadn't eaten meat in a long time. They were still craving more; it was so delicious, the large intestines were tender and crisp, without a trace of odor. Su Tao's cooking skills were truly amazing; he could make something so dirty and smelly taste so good.
Su Tao ignored the satisfied crowd. The steamed buns she'd been dreaming about were finally ready. Su Tao handed a large meat bun to Hu Xiao, and Hu Xiao was moved to tears. Su Tao was so kind, offering her large intestines in return for the large meat buns. However, she was already quite full from the large intestines, so she planned to save the meat buns for the afternoon.
Everyone saw Su Tao put the buns away and did not share them with everyone, but they did not feel surprised. After all, they bought the buns with their own money, and they were very satisfied after eating such delicious large intestine dumplings.
Su Tao stood in front of the stove, frowning slightly and looking at the used pots and pans with an embarrassed look. She really didn't like the greasy feeling of washing dishes.
"Taotao, go and have a rest. We will help you wash the dishes." The male educated youths, who were grateful for the favor, quickly took the opportunity to rush forward and offer their courtesy to help Su Tao wash the dishes. Su Tao accepted it as a matter of course.
Everyone watched as Su Tao twisted her slender figure, a look of fatigue on her face, and walked gracefully towards the dormitory. She was like a lazy and noble cat, beautiful in an enchanting way, yet there was nothing wrong with her, as if this was her true appearance.
It wasn't until Su Tao disappeared behind the dormitory door that everyone came to their senses. Both men and women secretly thought in their hearts: "Witch."
Su Tao had been busy all morning and was exhausted. With some time left before the afternoon shift, he decided to take a nap. He took off his shoes, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep in a few minutes.
