Chapter 1493 Pretty Yaksha Scares Away Director Chu
Wang Meilan walked around the east and west courtyards and the east and west rooms, and decided that she would have to set up seven tables for today's pig-killing meal.
Among the seven tables, there were three tables for men and four tables for women and children, which far exceeded the original plan of five tables.
If there were five tables, the Zhao family could still fit them in. But if there were seven tables, they would have to be placed on the kang.
It was not appropriate to put tables on the kang, so they changed to set up a few tables at the Li family.
Since it had been decided to assign people to part of the Li family, the Zhao family might as well not set up five tables. It would be too crowded to set up five tables, so they would set up four tables at the Zhao family and then three tables at the Li family.
The Zhao family was the host family, and the three tables for men had to be at the Zhao family. The east room had a large space and could hold two tables, where people of Zhao Youcai's generation sat.
There was a table in the outer room, and people of the same generation as Zhao Jun sat. But there was one more Xing San at this table, who was more withdrawn and not used to being with strangers, so he was willing to sit next to Zhao Jun.
The table in the west room was occupied by women, and all the guests in the Zhao family were VIPs.
The three women of Chu Anmin's family, Zhao Chun's mother-in-law Hu Sanmei, Zhao Guofeng's mother, Liu Renshan's daughter-in-law Liu Shuqin, Yan Shugang's daughter-in-law, Li Dazhi's family Lin Xue, and Zhao Jun's future mother-in-law Wang Cuihua.
Wang Meilan was personally at this table, and because there were two elderly people, Wang Meilan asked the old lady to sit at this table as well. In this way, the eleven of them could sit at one table without being crowded.
But Chu Xiaoxue insisted on bringing her "newly acquainted" little sister over, so Li Tongyun was squeezed into this table.
The moment Chu Xiaoxue brought Li Tongyun into the room, the eyes of the old lady Chu and Liu Hongmei were all bright!
"Oh!" Mrs. Chu and Liu Hongmei asked almost at the same time, "Whose daughter is this?"
"My daughter." Lin Xue smiled, raised her hand and called Li Tongyun, saying, "Xiaoyun... sit with your sister?"
As soon as Lin Xue opened her mouth, she saw Li Tongyun following Chu Xiaoxue to Liu Hongmei's side.
Seeing Mrs. Chu and Liu Hongmei diligently asking Li Tongyun this and that, Lin Xue's eyes lit up.
Lin Xue heard that Chu Anmin had a son who still had no partner. She and Li Dazhi were not the kind of people who despised the poor and loved the rich and wanted to climb up the social ladder. She was just worried about Li Tongyun's personal problems.
After coming to Yong'an a while ago, the couple fell in love with Li Chen. Although the young man was a bit second-rate, he was a very honest person.
But Li Dazhi refused to agree, which made Li Dazhi and Lin Xue give up the idea of recruiting a son-in-law who had always lived in the house, and thought that it would be fine if they could marry their daughter off.
Just when Lin Xue was thinking about it, the dishes began to be served.
Celery with peanuts and braised pig's head are both cold dishes.
The braised pig's head cut into squares has dried tofu on the upper and lower sides, and deep red soup jelly with half fat and half lean pig's head meat in the middle.
This dish has a salty taste. The soup jelly in the middle is made from the stewed pig's head meat. It is slightly chewy and paired with the still soft meat after cooling, making this cold dish full of layers when eaten.
Today, the Zhao family prepared a total of four cold dishes for the pig-killing banquet. The other two are fried meatballs and home-cooked cold dishes.
The fried meatballs have been cold for a long time. And the cold meatballs are still crispy inside and out.
The key is that these meatballs are not greasy at all.
Although it is fried, it is fried in a large pot and the fire is not turned off when it is taken out of the pot, so the fried meat is not soaked in oil.
And considering that the grain pork is fat and the lean meat is oily, when filling the meatballs, the fat and lean meat are in a 2:8 ratio.
Home-cooked cold dishes, also known as home-cooked cold dishes, are not fixed in terms of what vegetables are put in them. They have to be determined according to the tastes of each family and the vegetables available at the moment.
The Zhao family has cucumbers, so they have cucumber shreds, dried tofu shreds, cabbage shreds, and rock sugar radish shreds, and then paired with soaked vermicelli and fried shredded pork. This cold dish is refreshing and relieves greasiness.
Compared with cold dishes, hot dishes are much more abundant.
Braised spare ribs and braised pork are all soft and tasty, and they look great.
Or maybe it's just that professional chefs are different.
The meat cooked by the two brothers Han Dachun and Han Daming is really full of color, fragrance and taste.
In these days, even the city chefs don't make many dishes, such as braised pork slices and pot-wrapped pork.
They are all meat dishes coated with batter and oil, one is salty and fresh, the other is sour and sweet, each with its own merits.
It is said that: spicy in the east, sour in the west, sweet in the south, and salty in the north.
In Zhao Jun's family, especially the men, they rarely eat sweets, especially when eating.
The men here don't dip sticky bean curd in sugar or syrup when eating it. They eat it as a staple food with stew.
However, the pot-fried pork is an exception, and many men are also proud of it.
There is a small bowl between the sliced square meat and the cut blood sausage, and the small bowl is filled with garlic sauce.
It can be seen that both dishes have to be eaten with garlic sauce.
The blood sausage is made of casings on the outside and pig blood on the inside. The pig blood is tender. Some people are afraid of cutting the pig blood into pieces when cutting the blood sausage, so they use two fingertips to pull the edge of the casing on the top before cutting each piece.
But the Zhao family has a magic weapon. Zhang Yuanmin made a special knife specifically for cutting blood sausage.
The shape of the knife is similar to a small saw blade, but the blade is extremely sharp.
When cutting blood sausage, one hand holds the blood sausage and the other hand holds the knife from the bottom of the intestine to the top, and a piece comes off with one touch.
At this time, we have to praise the Han brothers for their good craftsmanship. The blood in the casing is bright red, bright red, bright and bright.
Take a bite of this with garlic sauce. The casing is crispy, and the blood is smooth and tender. The two are combined with the dipping sauce, which has a special fragrance and gives people a special sense of satisfaction.
And to satisfy your appetite, you have to cut the square meat slices. This simple stewed meat has skin on the top, fat in the middle, and lean meat on the bottom.
When the chopsticks hold the lean meat, the fat and skin on the top are all bent down. In this way, dip it in the garlic sauce bowl, and it tastes fat but not greasy, but it is more satisfying than braised pork.
As Han Dachun said, if there are seven tables, some things cannot be served.
For example, boiled liver is not good, and a set of pig liver is not enough for seven tables.
So Han Dachun took the heart, liver, tripe, and kidneys and made four dishes. These four kinds of offal have their own taste and flavor.
Add meat fried with garlic sprouts and meat fried with celery, and that's eleven dishes.
Finally, put a pot of pig-killing dishes in the middle, and that's twelve dishes. The steaming pickled cabbage and white meat, when they are on the table, it means the feast is about to begin.
Twenty or thirty years later, when we can eat vegetables freely in winter, such a table is nothing.
But in 1988, this table was amazing.
Looking at the table of dishes, Chu Anmin said to Zhao Youcai with emotion: "Youcai, this is the first time in so many years that I have seen someone slaughter a pig and the vegetables are so hard."
"Hahaha..." Zhao Youcai laughed and said: "Director Chu, the vegetables are hard, you should eat more and drink more."
As he said, Zhao Youcai raised his cup and invited everyone to drink together.
Although there was soda at the table of the woman in the west room, everyone was busy eating.
Old Mrs. Chu didn't look like a city person at all, let alone the director's mother. She only had a mouthful of blood sausage, a mouthful of pot-wrapped pork, and then took a piece of square meat and dipped it in garlic sauce.
After eating the square meat, Old Mrs. Chu threw a fried meatball into her mouth.
There were too many delicious foods today, and she was so busy that she didn't know which one to eat.
Chu Xiaoxue especially liked Zhao's braised pork, and she took three pieces of braised pork in a row.
The slightly red bean rice in the bowl has been partially soaked in the braised pork soup and turned dark red.
The rice dipped in the braised pork soup is more fragrant, and it is very satisfying to take two mouthfuls.
Wang Meilan, Lin Xue, Li Tongyun and the old lady usually eat meat every day in Zhao's house. Compared with square meat, they prefer braised pork and pot-fried pork.
The women ate for half an hour for this meal. Not to mention the men's room, nearly 30 people drank two boxes of Shanhebai.
At least, they had to drink more than half a catty.
"Don't drink anymore." Chu Anmin, whose face was red from drinking, had not drunk enough. He waved his hand, pointed to the wine glass with a little left at the bottom of the cup, and said, "That's all I have. I have to drive back after that."
"Why don't you stay, Brother Chu." Zhao Youcai said polite words to keep the guests. The two of them got closer and closer, and even called Brother Chu.
"No, Youcai." Chu Anmin shook his head and said, "I have to go to the village tomorrow, so I have to go back today."
"Hey, Director Chu." Zhou Chunming asked with concern, "You drank so much, can you drive?"
It was New Year's Day, and Chu Anmin didn't call a driver, he drove here by himself.
"It's okay, it's okay." Chu Anmin waved his hand and said, "Old Zhou, you don't understand me."
As he said that, Chu Anmin waved his hand and said in plain language, "I was drunk and unconscious. As long as someone helps me get in the car, I can drive the car as soon as I hold the steering wheel."
After that, Chu Anmin picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Zhao Youcai beside him, saying, "Youcai, this pig-killing meal is so delicious."
"Haha, right." Zhao Youcai smiled, and Li Dazhi next to him said : "This pork is so delicious."
Hearing Li Dazhi's words, Zhao Youcai somehow became excited. He raised his hand and pointed at Li Dazhi, saying: "Your sister-in-law was stingy with money before. She said that she would not let me spend money to catch pigs, and insisted that the children go up the mountain to catch wild boars."
"Huh?" Li Dazhi was stunned, and saw Zhao Youcai spread his hands and said to everyone: "Can the wild boar meat be compared with this meat?"
"Can it be compared?"
There is no mistake in the first post of the first post!
"What is wild boar meat?"
"This meat is so delicious!"
People who don't know will echo Zhao Youcai.
After everyone said this, Zhao Youcai became more excited. He shook his hand lightly and said, "I told her that it's not possible. Is there anything to eat from the wild boar? The meat is so shabby and there is no oil at all. After that, I told my son that he must go to the production team to catch the pig for me."
At this time, the West Room had finished the work, and the women were sitting together chatting.
The food in the outer room was almost done. Hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Zhao Jun curled his lips, and Wang Meilan in the West Room gritted her teeth.
As Zhao Youcai boasted, everyone drank the wine in the cup, and then took bowls to serve bean rice, sauerkraut, and stir-fried vegetables.
As the men ate and drank enough, drank tea, and chatted, the pig-killing banquet had come to an end.
Wang Meilan, Jin Xiaomei, and Zhao Ling took plastic bags and distributed the remaining pig-killing dishes and meat to everyone.
The more you cook the pig-killing dishes, the more fragrant they are, and the more you cook them, the more delicious they are.
When the meat was first roasted, there were two front elbows in the pot. Wang Meilan gave one to Chu Anmin. There was also half a blood sausage left, which was also given to Old Lady Chu.
After all, she is the leader.
Not only that, Zhao Jun, who was outside the house, also used a sack to pack a hind leg and half a hind leg for Chu Anmin.
Just as Zhao Jun was packing things, he saw Li Tongyun sneaking out of the house.
"Xiaoyun, what are you doing?" Zhao Jun raised his head and pointed his chin towards the window of the west room while speaking, and said, "I think that means that Director Chu's wife doesn't want you to be her daughter-in-law?"
The last time Chu Anmin came, Zhao Weipeng was still there. At that time, Chu Anmin had said that his son was a few months older than Zhao Jun, but he still didn't have a partner.
"Yeah." Li Tongyun pursed her lips and said, "I'm not very happy."
"Why?" Zhao Jun asked, Li Tongyun whispered, "I'm the only daughter of my father and mother, I don't want to be too far away from them."
"Ah, that's fine." Zhao Jun didn't say much to Li Tongyun, but when he saw her walking out by herself, Zhao Jun thought she was going to the toilet, so he didn't ask much.
But until everyone escorted Chu Anmin's family out of Zhao's house, Li Tongyun didn't come back.
Everyone chattered and sent Chu Anmin to the car, watched the jeep leave, and then everyone said goodbye to Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan, and then went back to their own homes.
Zhou Chunming's family didn't rush to leave, and stayed until the end to wait for Zhao Jun to send them off.
The families who usually hang out at the Zhao family didn't leave, and everyone was chatting in the house.
This chat brought up Li Tongyun and the Chu family's love for Li Tongyun.
"His father!" Liu Hongmei, who was sitting in the back seat of the jeep, leaned forward and said to Chu Anmin: "You didn't see it, my mother and I saw it, that girl is so beautiful."
"Really? Is it fake?" Chu Anmin was a little unconvinced, and then heard Mrs. Chu say: "Really, just like the person in the painting, uh!"
These days, whoever is praised for being good-looking is said to be the person in the painting.
But today Mrs. Chu ate a little too much, and she burped while praising.
"Our son will definitely be proud." Liu Hongmei continued, "That boy is proud of his beauty."
"What about that girl?" Chu Anmin said, "What's the use of being pretty? Can she live a good life?"
"She's a good person." Chu Xiaoxue spoke for Li Tongyun and said, "Punish evil and promote good, eliminate violence and protect the good..."
"What the hell?" Chu Anmin and Liu Hongmei were stunned, and then they heard Chu Xiaoxue exclaimed and pointed out the window, "Dad, look, that's Sister Yun."
"Let me see!" Chu Anmin slowed down and looked out the right window, and saw a girl in red down jacket, hurrying on the road.
Behind her, there were two people chasing, one tall and one short, the tall one walked shakily, with his legs spread out, like a big duck.
"What's this for?" Liu Hongmei frowned, and her first reaction was that Li Tongyun had an affair with the young man. Such a girl can't be a daughter-in-law.
But at this time, Chu Anmin slammed the brakes. After stopping the car, Chu Anmin looked back and saw that Li Tongyun was walking faster and faster, and the "big duck" chasing her must have had a problem with his legs and feet. After being left behind by Li Tongyun for a distance, the "big duck" ran away.
"CTM!" Chu Anmin cursed: "Little hooligan!"
Chu Anmin was a soldier, so he didn't see this. He pushed the door and was about to get out of the car.
"Dad!" Chu Xiaoxue, who was sitting in the passenger seat, grabbed Chu Anmin's arm with both hands and said, "Let's not meddle in other people's business! Let's go!"
"Fuck you! Let go!" Chu Anmin shook his arm and broke free from Chu Xiaoxue.
Seeing Chu Anmin get out of the car, Liu Hongmei, Old Lady Chu, and Chu Xiaoxue followed him out.
The three chased Chu Anmin from behind, and Chu Xiaoxue was almost exhausted.
When Chu Anmin chased after him, the "big duck" was getting closer and closer to Li Tongyun.
At this time, Li Tongyun seemed to remember that he could still run.
The girl leaped forward three steps, and then there was a big willow tree in front of her.
The "big duck" followed closely behind, only two or three meters away from Li Tongyun.
"Then..." Chu Anmin was about to shout, when he saw Li Tongyun jump up and kick the tree with his right foot.
As his right leg kicked away, Li Tongyun took advantage of the force to rise. Then, while turning in mid-air, Li Tongyun kicked out with his left leg.
This kick hit the chest of the "big duck" hard.
The big duck flew back two meters, fell to the ground and rolled, and couldn't get up.
At this time, the little follower of the "big duck" was scared and turned around to run.
But Li Tongyun raised his leg and kicked him to the ground.
"I'm so pretty!" Li Tongyun stepped close to the little follower and kicked him on the head.
Chu Anmin's roar stopped abruptly, and his feet were rooted to the ground.
"Oh my god!" Liu Hongmei, who followed, exclaimed, and this cry brought Chu Anmin back to his senses.
After coming back to his senses, Chu Anmin turned around, holding Old Lady Chu in one hand and Liu Hongmei in the other, and walked away.
Liu Hongmei pulled Chu Xiaoxue with her, and the family of four got on the jeep. Chu Anmin drove out of the village.
Next to the big willow tree, Zhang Laifa even called grandma, just begging Li Tongyun to let him go. And Zhang Laibao, who fell to the ground, could only hum.
"Don't pretend to be a grandson with me!" Li Tongyun angrily scolded Zhang Laifa, who called her grandma, and then looked at the Zhang brothers who fell to the ground with disdain, and said: "Two little Karami, dare to mess with me? You are blind!"
Today I will make pork skin jelly first, and then stew pig heads and elbows. I am busy a little late. I will update one chapter first, and there is another chapter before two o'clock. Brothers, go to bed if you are tired, and read it tomorrow morning
