Chapter 166 slaughtered pig vegetables
After washing, the others were watching tv in the small living room. Li Haitang went upstairs first. Now that she had watched the tv show in her previous life, she didn't want to pursue it, so she went back to her room and wrapped herself in a quilt to read.
Li Jianhong came out of the toilet in the backyard and looked into the small living room. Seeing that Li Haitang was not there, she wanted to talk to her tonight, so she had to ask Li Tao, who was sitting at the outermost corner, "Taoer, where's Sister hoi tong?"
"She went back to her room to read." Li Tao replied without looking back.
"Oh." Li jianhong responded, stopped at the same place and thought about it, then decided to find another time to tell her not to disturb her reading.
She sat down in the chair next to her and suddenly realized that her character had really changed a lot. She didn't know when she began to think about others, especially Li Haitang's studies.
Li Tao and Duan Jinqiao watched tv downstairs and went upstairs at 9: 30. When they went back to sleep, they knocked on Li Haitang's door to remind her that it was time to sleep.
Li Haitang answered, and when they returned to their room, he also turned off the lights to rest.
This was the first time that she had stayed in the li family or in a new house two and a half years after she came to the other world. It was a strange feeling, but she could not bear to be tired and fell asleep in bed not long after.
It was a deep sleep, and it happened that the countryside was particularly quiet. In addition, there were no chickens or dogs barking at home. Li Haitang, who was sleeping under the covers, did not wake up until 7: 30.
"Jin qiao, why haven't you seen haitang yet? She usually gets up early. Why is she sleeping so late today?" Liu Fen had already cooked all the noodles for the morning. The others were already up, and only Li Haitang was still downstairs.
Duan jinqiao answered, stepped on his little leather shoes and went upstairs. He gently pushed open Li Haitang's door. Seeing that she was still sleeping in bed, he walked over and pushed her. "Sister hoi tong, Sister hoi tong, it's time to get up. You can have breakfast."
"Uh..." Li Haitang reached out from his warm bed with a hand, opened his dazed eyes, and when he saw the person in front of him, his voice was hoarse, "Jinqiao, what time is it?"
"It's exactly 7: 30."
Li Haitang sat down abruptly and glanced at the watch on his wrist. It was really 7: 30. He rubbed his head, "This house is really comfortable. I haven't slept in a long time. I accidentally overslept."
"Hee hee, I was exaggerating when I first came back. I didn't get up until nine o' clock." Duan Jinqiao took her cotton-padded clothes and pants and smiled, "Come down quickly. You can eat. You're all alone."
"Yes, okay." Li Haitang quickly got up and put on his clothes, quickly made the bed, grabbed his hair casually and went downstairs.
After washing her face and brushing her teeth, she walked into the hall and saw that everyone was sitting at the table waiting for her to eat. She said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. The house is so good to sleep. If jin qiao hadn't called for me, I would have slept till lunch."
Li Jianguo knew that she worked hard at school. She went to class before dawn. She couldn't sleep until 10: 00 pm. She took a fried egg from the big bowl in the middle and one for each of the others. She said, "If you haven't slept enough, go to bed later. You don't sleep much at school. It's good to have a good night's rest at home."
"No, I've had enough sleep. Call Yuanhua Uncle's house later, then go to Li Yongchun's house to buy some meat. You won't be tired if you go out for a walk." She had a good night's sleep last night, with a new quilt and a new bed.
"Well, you can buy more meat later. I'll send jianhong and the rest of them to town later and come back to pick you up so that we don't have to move the freight." After that, Li Jianguo began to gobble up the noodles.
Liu Fen nodded, turned to look at Li Haitang, and asked her, "Haitang, I heard from two younger siblings that there is a new year gift here. Do you want to send it to the wang family and your junior high school teacher's home?" She knew that Li Haitang had always been on good terms with the two families, so she asked.
Li Haitang looked up from the bowl. She didn't know it before. She turned to Li Jianguo and said, "Dad, do we really have this custom here?"
"Yes, but it doesn't matter if you don't give it away. Just bring a piece of meat with you during the spring festival." Li Jianguo answered her.
Li Haitang was a little stunned, "Then I really didn't go to give new year's gifts before the new year. Instead, I often took food and meat from the wang family. I went to visit the spring festival and didn't buy any meat."
Li Jianguo rarely smiled and added, "This custom is usually directed at newly married people. You are still a child. It's enough to bring gifts to the new year. They don't care about this."
"Oh, I see. Dad, next time you have a special custom, remember to tell me so that you don't make another mistake."
Li Jianguo replied, "Okay."
After dinner, Li Jianguo sent Li Jianhong, mother and daughter to town first. Li Haitang went to visit aunt er zhu's house next door. They had two pigs at home, but they were slaughtered and sold in october. They were going to Li Yongchun's house to buy new year's meat later, so they invited them to leave together.
Li Rong also slept in at home and got up under the noise of his nephew. While brushing his teeth, he spoke to her incoherently, "Haitang, are you going to the Yongchun house to buy meat later?"
"Go, do you want to play too?" Li Haitang was eating the sweet potato jerky that auntie er zhu had stuffed into her hand.
Li rong nodded, took a mouthful of water, and then answered, "Go. Yongchun called me over. Their family is going to kill two pigs today. They will go to their house to eat pig food at noon."
"Pork chop?" Li Haitang's eyes lit up slightly. She had heard of this dish in her previous life. She had never eaten it. The original owner had eaten it at home. She remembered in her mind that it was delicious.
"Yeah, you won't forget the smell, will you? Pork, pig lungs, pig liver, and so on. It's delicious and fresh. It's super delicious." Li Rong missed the smell very much. If anyone killed the new year pig when he was a child, he would have the cheek to sit there and eat.
Uncle Zhu sat by the fire and said with a smile, "It has been many years since the founding of the country had raised a new year pig. The pigs that were raised in the past have also been put on the market very early. You guys should all go to the far Lin family for pig food today. Yesterday, he personally called for us to eat together. Two pigs are enough for a few tables."
"Hehe, okay. Actually, I really want to eat pig blood soup. There should be this dish today, right?" Li Haitang had not eaten this dish for a long time and felt that it was the most lively dish to eat when slaughtering pigs in the countryside.
"Yes, there is no lack of pig blood soup to kill pigs. It will probably be a big pot. You can eat as much as you want." Li Rong gave her a look of disdain. She didn't like to eat good meat and preferred to eat all these miscellaneous things.
Auntie er zhu walked over from the kitchen with a small bowl in her hand and handed it to Li Haitang, "Haitang, try it. This is auntie's own ciba. It's not very good. It tastes good."
Li Haitang looked at the shape of the ciba in the bowl and crumpled up. He couldn't help but laugh out and tease, "Auntie, what kind of ciba do you make? It's like a nest head sold in the capital."
Auntie er zhu couldn't help but rejoice. The quality of the ciba she made was really not good.
"Haha, I laughed at my mother yesterday. I said it was like a bun, but you said it was like a nest. It seems that she really doesn't have the talent to make ciba, but at least it tastes good." Li Rong grabbed one in each hand and ate it for breakfast.
They were eating happily when Duan Jinqiao's voice came from outside the door, "Sister hoi tong, we can go now."
Aunt er zhu walked out with a bowl in her hand and said with a smile, "Jin qiao, come on, there's still one ciba left for you to eat."
"Okay, thank you, auntie."
Duan Jinqiao trotted in, pinched the ciba up and down, looked around, but did not say anything, took a bite, and praised: "Delicious, sweet."
Auntie er zhu smiled and said, "Jin qiao is still the most obedient and sensible. She won't destroy auntie."
Li Haitang wiped his hands in the house and went out with Uncle Zhu and the others. After the doors of both houses were closed, a large team walked towards Li Yongchun's house.
When they arrived at Li Yongchun's house, the family had not yet started slaughtering pigs, and the preparations for the family had already been completed, waiting for the butcher in town to come over. During this break, Li Haitang went to the captain's house next door and called Lin Peipei.
Lin peipei's shop was on holiday, and she was busy with the new year's eve, so she agreed.
Watching the butcher sharpen his knife in the yard, several young and strong men in the village each grabbed a pig's foot and dragged a fat pig out. Li Haitang looked at the excited Duan Jinqiao beside him, "Jin qiao, have you ever seen a man kill a pig before?"
"No, I've only seen killing chickens and ducks. There's pork for sale at the farmers'market, but the butchers kill it in a fixed slaughterhouse and then bring it to the market for sale. So I've never seen the process of killing a pig." Duan Jinqiao thought it was quite lively to spend the new year in the countryside. These days, he had come into contact with many new things that he had never experienced before.
Now she was quite excited, and when she saw the butcher stab the shiny, cold butcher knife into the pig's neck, her small face turned pale with fear, which naturally attracted a burst of laughter from Li Tao, and then gave her the nickname "City bumpkin."
The first pig had just shed its fur when Li Jianguo came back in his car, which was parked on the road outside. He hurriedly walked up to Li Haitang and told her, "Haitang, just now in town, I happened to see Mr. Tang and her daughter Liu Qianqian coming to the red shop to buy clothes, but they were targeted by a yellow-haired thief who took her daughter's bag and knocked her down on the ground, as if her arm was injured."
"Ah, what about now?" Li Haitang was anxious.
"Wang Yao was also driving in town at the time. Dr. Tang at the health center examined her and said that her bones might have cracked. It would be better to send them to the county for a photo. Wang Yao drove them there, so I didn't follow them."
"Did you catch that thief?" This kid dared to steal from the deputy mayor's daughter and hurt her. He probably didn't run away.
Sure enough, Li Jianguo told her, "I got it. It's a busy day in town. All the businessmen know Mr. Tang. They don't even need her to shout. They all took the initiative to help. In a few moments, they took the man to the police station."
"Well, I'll take a look this afternoon." There was nothing I could do to help them in the past, so I had to visit them in the afternoon.
Li Jianguo recalled the customs he mentioned this morning and reminded him, "Then you can cut a few more pounds of meat here later and give it as a new year's gift."
Li Haitang nodded. She didn't think about giving new year's gifts before. She thought that it would be better to give them generously during the spring festival as it was last year. Now that you're going to Mr. Tang's house, buy another piece of meat and go to the wang's house.
