Wen jinniang's appearance frightened Biwu and forsythia. They quickly took the water and patted her back. Biwu took Wen jinniang's ribs and threw them back into the oil paper bag.
"Master, are you all right?"
Forsythia looked at Wen jinniang, who had drunk half a glass of white water, and her face was relaxed. She looked at Wen jinniang uneasily.
With a soft smile, Wen jinniang raised her hand to touch the top of Forsythia's hair. She remembered that she had just pinched the spareribs, but she could not wipe it.
"It's OK. Maybe I smelled the smell of meat, but I almost vomited."
"The smell of meat? Isn't this plum spareribs from the same family? "
Biwu looks at the plum ribs on the table. Forsythia blames herself that the plum ribs she bought are not right for wenjinniang's spleen and stomach. As soon as wenjinniang looks at Forsythia's remorse, she explains quickly.
"These two spareribs are bigger. They should be pickled. They are not tasty, so they lack some flavor. It's not incomprehensible."
Wen jinniang's words didn't make Forsythia look relaxed. Anyway, she frowned and stood up to make a gesture. She was about to take out the two bags of plum ribs and throw them away. Biwu stopped her.
"Master, I don't think the ribs are good. I should go back to the seller. It's worth the money. If I throw them away, I think I'm unlucky!"
Biwu thought about the food he bought today, but only Meizi ribs were the most expensive. It's a pity to throw away such two bags of ribs.
Forsythia carrying two bags of ribs looked at Wen jinniang, obviously waiting for Wen jinniang to say something. Whether to throw or not is between Wen jinniang's thoughts.
After drinking the rest of the white water, Wen jinniang completely calmed down her disgusting feeling, and then returned her eyes to the two bags of plum ribs. In her nose, she still had the memory of the fishy smell of the meat. The plum ribs she had eaten before tasted very good, and she could not smell any peculiar smell. This contrast made Wen jinniang feel strange.
"Forsythia, go to the store and ask for a plate. It's bigger."
"Yes, master."
Forsythia put down the plum ribs, hurried downstairs to wake up the shopkeeper, asked for a large solid wood food plate, also carefully washed again, wiped the water back.
Wen jinniang looks at Biwu pouring two bags of plum ribs into the food plate and arranging them one by one through the oil paper bag. The plum ribs, which were originally packed in the bag, just feel that they are bigger. When they are arranged so separately, Wen jinniang and her three see something wrong.
Biwu doesn't need to be explained by Wen jinniang to start to piece together according to the fracture of the ribs. A whole plate of ribs finally managed to piece together three ribs, and the rest of the ribs were not connected.
"Master..."
Forsythia looked at the three ribs some breathing instability, this rib how to look like pig ribs ah, but the more you look like... Adult ribs!
Bi Wu and Wen jinniang also understand what Forsythia didn't say, and their faces are not very good-looking. Especially Wen jinniang almost spoke just now. Rao is as calm as Wen jinniang, and her stomach is not comfortable at the moment.
"Forsythia, please tell me more about the situation of going back to buy ribs."
Wen jinniang sits on the edge of the bed with a cold face and stomach. Biwu takes out a cape from her burden to cover Wen jinniang. Forsythia looks white and tries to remember everything in the day.
"I turned back and said that I wanted to buy some more plum ribs. The man was stunned. He said that there was still some in the room, so he went in and took it. A big plate was filled with plum ribs, which was just out of the oven and was still steaming. Thinking that the master liked to eat, I bought more and asked for two bags. The man laughed and loaded it for me. After weighing it, I took the money, and then I came back with the ribs."
Wen jinniang pondered for a while, raised eyes to look at forsythia, asked softly.
"Well, what do you think of the man's hands?"
"The hands... Are long and broad, and some are white and tender. They look very gentle. They don't look like an ordinary merchant. They don't talk like a scholar."
Forsythia efforts to recall the man's appearance, Wen jinniang is to hear the problem.
To make this kind of plum spareribs, first cut the spareribs into small sections, preferably one piece at a time, and then add scallion, ginger slices and cooking wine to the pot to boil the blood foam. Then skim the blood foam, take out the spareribs and drain them for later use. Heat the oil in the pot and fry the spareribs until the skin is golden. Then fry the spareribs to make sugar color, The next step is to put the fried spareribs in, mix them evenly, add sugar, add plum, add water and seasoning, stew them until they taste good, collect the juice, and then put them out of the pot.
In the whole process, the hands that make plum ribs every day will never be white, tender and clean. Even if the man only sells them every day, and touches them every day, the tiny cracks between his fingers will turn out oily light because of the grease. How can they be clean and tidy to the point where they are not stained?
Wen jinniang's eyes are fixed on the three ribs. If they are human ribs, they should be women's ribs, but they are not the same women's ribs.
"I'm afraid our journey will be delayed for a few days. Let's go to the county government tomorrow.
"Yes."
The three of them fell asleep quickly, but they all felt chilly to the ribs on the table.
After daybreak, Wen jinniang watched Biwu go to renew the rent for three days. The shopkeeper said goodbye to Biwu with a smile. Biwu also heard about the residence of the county magistrate.
The three arrived at Xiangping county's residence in a carriage. Biwu and forsythia knocked on the door. Wen jinniang sat in the carriage and watched as the door opened, revealing the head of a thin middle-aged man. After Biwu and forsythia talked with him for a few words, the man's head shrank back.
With the help of Bi Wu, Wen jinniang got out of the carriage and walked slowly to the front door. After a while, the door opened again. The man suddenly saw a pregnant woman. She was obviously stunned. Forsythia stepped forward to block the man's eyes and looked at the man calmly.
"Three... Please come inside. My county master is waiting."
"Thank you very much."
Wen jinniang walked slowly with a big stomach, and the man didn't urge her much. It took her a long time to lead the three to the main hall.
Xiangping County Grand Master Sun yawned and looked at the three people who came in. After seeing Wen jinniang's pregnant belly, he sat a little more upright.
"What's the matter with the three sufferers? The magistrate of the county thinks that the three can actually go to the county government to beat the drum and complain. "
Wen jinniang motioned to Biwu to put the food plate covered with white cloth in the hand of the county magistrate. Sun looked at the food plate in doubt. With Wen jinniang's gesture, she uncovered the white cloth and looked at the whole plate of plum ribs. Suddenly, her mouth water came down.
