Chapter 167 Buy Pig Head

Chapter 167 buying pig head

Seeing the butcher remove the fat from the pig's abdominal cavity, Liu Fen asked Li Jianguo, the head of the family, "Jianguo, how much meat should we buy?"

"Buy thirty pounds. If you can't finish, you can have bacon." Li Jianguo said boldly, now that the family conditions are good and they have money in their hands, it is natural to be lively and polite during the new year.

"Jianguo, do you really need so much?" Li Yuanlin's eyes were wide open. His family had been buying new year meat here for the past two years. They bought a lot each time. This time, they bought too much.

It was rare for Li Jianguo to joke with him and point to the people around him, "Five people from our family eat pig food. If we don't buy more, wouldn't you lose?"

"Hehe, okay, I'll fill a big bowl of pork chopping vegetables for each of your five family members and let you eat until you're full." Li Yuanlin laughed back at him.

Li Haitang smiled and waved, "Uncle yuan lin, I want a big bowl of pig blood soup."

"Okay, there's plenty of pig blood soup. You can have a pot." Li yuanlin laughed happily. This thing was not worth much. Whoever wanted pig blood here would just take a bowl.

Li Yongchun, who was carrying a pail of steaming pig blood into the house, smiled and said, "Li Haitang, there's a lot of pig blood. I'll get you a big bowl and bring it back later."

"Okay, thank you." Li Haitang thanked them and did not forget to say, "Other uncle Uncle, you work in a cement factory. The dust you breathe in is very heavy. You must eat more pig blood. This is the best thing to clean up the dust in your lungs."

"Oh, yeah, if this thing has this effect, then we should eat more." Li Yuanlin's eyes lit up and he shouted to the kitchen, "Yongchun, tell your mother to make more pig blood soup and two big pots."

"Okay." Li Yongchun shouted back in the kitchen.

"It's ready to cut." The butcher howled.

One of the older men shouted with his hands behind his back, "Jianguo, your family needs to buy more. You can come first."

Li Jianguo walked over and handed him a cigarette, "Uncle seven, we're not in a hurry. You can buy it first." After lighting the fireworks for the old man, he went to light up another cigarette for the others. A large group of men gathered around him and puffed up smoke.

While everyone was cutting the meat, Li Yongchun's tall body suddenly rushed to Li Haitang. "Li Haitang, come and help."

Li Haitang didn't ask anything, so he went with him.

Following him to the kitchen door, she saw his mother, brother and sister working in the kitchen. She greeted them and was puzzled, "Li Yongchun, what can I do for you?"

"Hehe, that fish head with chili sauce you made is delicious. Come and help me. Teach me." Li Yongchun came over with a basin. There were three big fish heads in it.

It turned out to be a small matter. Li Haitang nodded, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to dry. He said, "Prepare three big bowls, ginger, onion, garlic, chopped pepper, pepper, salt."

"Right away!" Li Yongchun quickly turned to the cupboard in the back and brought three big bowls. His sister had already cut up the other ingredients and came over with the plates for her to take.

Li Haitang marinated the fish head with salt and spread the onions, ginger and garlic evenly on the bottom of three large bowls. After chatting with them for 15 minutes, he got up again and placed the fish flat on the bowl. Then he spread the fish with red chopped chili.

She pinched a bit of chopped chili and ate it. It was so spicy that she said, "Wow, auntie, your chopped chili is so strong and spicy. I put too much into it. This dish is definitely enough for dinner today."

"Hehe, this chili was planted by my family this summer. It was taken from my mother's house. It's very spicy. You, Uncle yuan lin, like to eat it, so I made two jars of chopped chili. I don't like it. It's too spicy. It's okay to eat it in winter, but it's sweaty in summer." She could not help but shiver when she saw the thick layer of chili on the fish's head. It was indeed too much, but men liked to drink, so it was good to have more spicy food.

"Li Haitang, is it all right?" Li Yongchun had been watching from the side. The dish was delicious and the recipe was simple. He had learned it.

"Yes, 15 minutes is enough."

Li yongqing helped cut the vegetables and asked curiously, "Sister hoi tong, where did you learn this kind of food?"

"This dish is a random one. It tastes good and is easy to make. It's suitable for lazy people. Some of the other dishes are made with a few classmates. Their skills are not bad. Each of them has a few specialty dishes. Just look at them a few more times." Li Haitang washed his hands in the basin next to him and sat down by the stove to dry.

She was just watching from the side. It was really simple. She smiled and said, "This dish is really simple. My brother said it's super delicious. I'll try it later."

Li Tao had already started weighing the meat in front of her. After searching all around, he couldn't find Li Haitang. Finally, he heard her voice outside the kitchen. He ran over and shouted to his elders before pulling her away, "Sister hoi tong, start weighing the meat. Dad asked you to choose the meat that will be sent to Mr. Tang's house later in the afternoon."

"Oh, okay." Li Haitang greeted them and followed him out.

Watching the two of them leave, Li Yongchun's mother asked curiously, "Yongchun, how much meat did the haitang family buy today?"

"Uncle jianguo said thirty pounds."

"So many!" The expression on his mother's face was a shock, then a great joy.

Li Yongchun pretended not to see it, but his mother's behavior was actually not deep enough to see what she was thinking at a glance. He shook his head helplessly and continued to add firewood to the stove.

Li Haitang went to the front yard and cut five kilograms of meat for the Mr. Tang family and the wang family. Li Yuanlin took a straw knot and a rope and tied it up for her and put it in a basket before weighing the meat for Li Jianguo and the others.

Li Jianguo weighed 30 pounds of meat, including the front and back legs and the pork chop. He asked the rest of the family, "Do you have anything else you want to eat?"

Liu Fen pointed to the fresh pork belly on the chopping board, "Jianguo, buy a pork belly for the children to stew and drink."

"Okay." Seeing that there were other miscellaneous items on the chopping board, he decided to say, "Yuanlin, take this pig belly, add a pair of pig feet, and take a pig head."

"Pig head?" The three children were all surprised.

Li Jianguo nodded, "Well, I'll give the three of you a tonic."

Li Tao replied reflexively, "The three of us are extremely smart and don't have to eat pig heads."

Li Haitang and Duan Jinqiao: ... "" his stupid brain must eat a whole pig's head

"Haha..." The silly boy's answer made everyone at the scene laugh. Even Li Jianguo laughed. Who gave birth to the silly boy?

Li Haitang looked at Li Tao's red, bleeding face and laughed and joked, "Dad, jin qiao and I are not eating. Let Li Tao eat. Haha, you might as well buy uncle yuanlin's two pig heads for him to eat. One might not be enough."

Duan Jinqiao burst into Liu Fen's arms with laughter and almost lost his footing.

"Haha, tao, you eat two pig heads. You can get the first place in the middle school examination." Li Yang followed his parents to buy meat, hid behind his father and laughed, then ran away quickly.

Li Tao gritted his teeth and chased after them at the speed of the wind. He had just lost his mind when he said that. He couldn't make the other adults shut up. Li Yang could still clean up.

When Li Jiangang and Li Jianhua and the Uncle Zhu family next door called it meat, they took the meat back in Li Jianguo's car, and the other women and children were playing here, waiting for the pig to be slaughtered at noon.

Li Haitang went to the kitchen again and poured the hot oil gently on it. The hot oil covered the red chili. The strong smell of fish mixed with the pungent smell made the smeller swallow.

Not long after, Lin Peipei called Li Yuanhua's house and his daughter sent a message to Li Haitang that she had bought the train ticket.

At noon, the banquet finally began. There were not many kinds of dishes prepared in their home, but the portions were very large, and they were all in bowls like bowls. The small bowl in the middle had the smallest portion of minced chili fish head, but it was placed in the middle, which was particularly attractive.

Everyone's chopsticks abandoned their favorite pork chopping dish for the first time. They all chopped the fish heads with chili peppers. After tasting, everyone was full of praise.

Li Haitang also picked up a chopstick. It was super spicy, but it was delicious. It was really nice to eat this spicy dish in winter. After only one bite, she felt a lump of fire in her stomach. She quickly took a sip of tea to suppress the pressure and went to eat the big pot of pig slaughtering vegetables and pig blood soup instead.

"The pig slaying dish cooked in this big iron pot is really delicious. The pork that I just killed is still warm. The meat that I cooked is soft and sweet. No wonder everyone here is happy to hear the pig slaying dish. I want to eat the second meal after eating it for the first time." Liu Fen sat at the same table with a few women and chatted with them.

"What about that? You probably don't have this dish in your city, do you?" Wang Hongjuan sat at the same table with her and ate a big bowl of pork and pork with pork lungs.

Liu Fen shook his head, "People who work in the slaughterhouse should be able to eat it. Others are more difficult. Farmers usually start selling vegetables at 3 or 4 am in the morning. We go to buy vegetables at 5 or 6 am at the earliest. By then, the pork is cold, and the taste is not so good. And the slightly cheaper stews like pig lungs, pig intestines, and pig livers are sold out early. If you want to eat them, you have to greet the butcher in advance and ask him to help keep them."

This was the same as the farmers'market in Ping shan town, but the villagers would only weigh meat once in ten days and a half months. They rarely get up early and go to the town to buy meat.

"Haitang, I just heard that you made this fish head with chili. Don't just eat pig blood soup. Eat more fish too." Wang Hongjuan greeted her with a smile. Although she was Li Yongchun's aunt, they were sitting at another table and had to treat them as if they were masters.

Li Haitang looked up from the bowl and said with a smile, "Auntie hong juan, I just tasted the fish head with chili. It's delicious, but uncle yuan lin's chili is too spicy. It makes my stomach feel like a ball of fire is burning. I don't dare to eat it. I'm afraid I'll have a stomachache later."

"Oh, haha, that's true. This chili tastes good. It's better to eat less if you're not used to it." Wang Hongjuan and the rest of them liked to eat super spicy chilies, and they almost split a bowl of fish.

"Ladies and aunts, eat as much as you like. I like pig blood soup and pork chopping vegetables. It feels like I haven't eaten it in years. It's really delicious." Li Haitang really liked this dish. Although it was filled with ugly earthen bowls in the countryside and the color of the big pot cooked with firewood was not very good, it really tasted delicious, and it felt very good to eat with the villagers in such a noisy way.

Wang Hongjuan smiled and said, "That's fine. If you like this, eat more."
