Hearing aunt Xie say eat mutton pot, song Xintong felt a little moved and turned into the kitchen, "Aunt Wang, shall we eat mutton pot at night?"
"Yes. Yesterday, shopkeeper song sent a whole one. I'll take it outside and freeze it. I'll cut it into thin slices later in the evening." Wang immediately replied, "it seems that there is no special pot at home. If only there were a copper pot like that in Beijing."
Song Xintong took out a pot he had made before. "It's the only one. It's separated in the middle. We can cook spicy and not spicy at the same time."
"Well, I'll do as the girl told me." Wang took the pot and went to wash it.
At noon.
Song Xintong looked at the day when it began to rain again. He was worried and asked, "Da Ya hasn't come back yet?"
"Not yet, villain. Go out and have a look." The poplar followed closely out of the courtyard.
"Girl, don't stand outside. Let's go to the dining room and have lunch with the two young masters. I'll wait outside." Wang said.
Song Xintong took a look at the two people who were eating in the hall, "let Yang Gao have dinner first. They have to go to the school at the end of noon."
"All right."
As soon as song Xintong entered the room, he heard the voice of poplar shouting, "girl, Daya is back."
Song Xintong looked towards the gate. After two steps, he saw Daya come back with blood and a red deer. He was so scared that his voice was dumb, "Daya, are you not hurt? Why are you covered in blood? "
Daya said in a loud voice: "girl, it's all deer blood, not my blood."
"Daya, what's mine? How did you forget again? " Wang's in a side to listen to busy remind a way.
The big Ya ooh ooh two, "the maidservant has not been injured, all is this deer's blood."
"The deer's blood is a treasure. How come it's all gone?" Poplar distressed cry, "Xiaoyue quickly get a bowl to see if you can pick up a bowl or two?"
"Oh, I'm going to get it." Xiaoyue runs towards the house quickly.
"Sister, is this a deer? It's so big. " Dabao and Xiaobao opened their eyes wide. It was the first time they met each other, so they were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths.
"Sister, you see it has big horns." Xiaobao ran to the antler.
"Young master, please keep away from blood." Poplar stopped Xiaobao, "after a while, I peel the skin and take down the antlers for you, young man."
"Come back." Song Xintong called Xiaobao back, "you two go to dinner first, and then look after dinner."
Twins do not want to go, "sister, I look again, I have not seen."
"It'll scare you. Go to dinner." Song Xintong see two people also don't want to move, face said: "sister said don't listen to, right?"
"Oh." The twins take three steps and turn around, hoping to stick their eyes on the red deer.
Song Xintong sighed helplessly, carrying the twins back to the dining room, "good, first you'll have enough to see."
"Oh." The twins are eating and looking out.
Song Xintong shook his hand in front of Dabao's eyes. Dabao buried himself in the meal with a guilty heart. "I'll let you see it when you're finished."
"Elder sister, I've never seen a deer before. I've only heard the master say," Yo Yo, the deer is singing and eating wild apples. " Dabao said and looked out. "It turns out that deer have such big horns."
Song Xintong said softly, "only adult deer have such big horns. Younger deer don't have such big horns. They have some mellow, fine hair and blood in them."
"Ah?" Xiaobao turned to listen to song Xintong, "then why is it just sharp outside?"
"Because it's old, it's hard and sharp, and it can fight with its horns." Song Xintong told the twins about his limited knowledge of the animal world.
"Is that an old deer?" Dabao said, "does the DOE have horns?"
"No, only the bucks." Song Xintong said.
Xiaobao asked: "why?"
"I don't know. I'd better ask my master when I go to school later." Song Xintong secretly smiles. The two boys can't answer questions. If they continue to answer, the meal will be finished in a quarter of an hour, so they are asked to annoy Mr. Lu.
"Oh." The twins responded, speeding up the meal.
"Chew and swallow."
"Oh." The twins responded, but they didn't slow down.
Forget it. She's too lazy to talk.
When they finished eating, song Xintong put away the dishes and chopsticks, and then followed them to the outside of the yard. Daya had taken down the deerskin and whip and put them aside. The rest was the deer meat.
Da Ya washed the blood on her hands, "girl, how can the deer be divided?"
"There are still sheep left to eat at home. This deer is also a great tonic. It's not suitable to eat more. Give some to them." Song Xintong commanded Daya to cut the meat down with the bones, "one for Xie's family, one for he's family, and one for the village head's family."
Poplar said: "good girl, villain will go to see you off later."
Dabao pulled song Xintong's sleeve and whispered: "elder sister, I want to give it to my master."
Song Xintong let Daya share the remaining half of the deer. "I'll give it to you two to see off the master later."
Xiaobao, who was feeling the antler, nodded heavily, "well."
"It's useless to take the deerskin and whip. We can't make them." Said the poplar.
"Girl, I know how to make deerskin and whip." Da Ya said, "give it to the maid."
"Good." Song Xintong naturally has no opinion. If she got a deer whip that could sell more than ten Liang half a year ago, she would be very happy, but now she doesn't care much.
In the afternoon, after the poplar was delivered, the Xie family, he family and Wan village head's family all brought their vegetables and food for fear that the Song family would not have any fresh vegetables.
In the evening, I eat mutton pot.
Song Xintong didn't care about the difference between master and servant, so he directly asked the six people of Daya to sit around the table and eat together.
Both Wang and Yang were a little stiff and did not dare to step forward.
"Auntie Wang, if you eat a pot, you have to have more people, right? Our sister and brother are not busy eating. Come on, all of us sit here. Daya eats a lot, and I have an appetite. " Song Xintong put chopsticks on several people, "do you want me to help you?"
"Thank you for your seat." Wang family just sat down and picked up the chopsticks.
Song Xintong did not care about them. He cooked some spicy mutton and venison for the twins. "You eat slowly."
"Sister, let's do it ourselves."
"Well, do it yourself. Be careful not to burn your hands."
Daya can't eat her own tongue, "girl, it's really delicious."
"If it's delicious, eat more. There are so many mutton and venison. If you don't eat them, they will be bad." Song Xintong said with a smile.
"Well, girl, I won't be polite."
Looking at the steaming pot, song Xintong could not help but raise his lips. He suddenly felt that he had gone back to the past. In his spare time every weekend, he would go to a hot pot restaurant with three or five friends, and sometimes he would wait for hours. Now, although he is just a master and servant, the atmosphere of eating pot is really lively.
