Siheyuan starts to eat the old man

Chapter 231 Chapter 230 Offal Soup Carnival

Soon, this silly roe deer was cleaned up in the hands of Sha Zhu, and the flesh and bones were separated and piled up in the big basin prepared in advance.

Looking at Silly Zhu who was cutting meat, Yan Jiecheng in the crowd wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and asked, "He Yuzhu, have you ever eaten roe deer meat? Is this roe deer meat delicious?"

Sha Zhu still has face in front of his own children. Ever since Sha Zhu got married, he once sternly warned the neighbors in the courtyard that they could no longer call him Sha Zhu's nickname, and punish whoever called him.

The neighbors in the courtyard did not take it seriously at the beginning, but after being dealt with by Sha Zhu, the neighbors in the courtyard have changed their minds and no longer call He Yuzhu a Sha Zhu.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Is meat not tasty?" Liu Guangtian, who was also watching the excitement, stopped staring at Yan Jiecheng after hearing Yan Jiecheng's words. He glanced at Yan Jiecheng and said with contempt.

Yan Jiecheng gave him a blank look: "Aren't you talking against me, cat meat doesn't taste good?"

"Have you ever eaten cat meat?" Liu Guangtian retorted unconvinced
After hearing Liu Guangtian's rebuttal, Yan Jiecheng said triumphantly: "Don't you know that cat meat is not good if you have never eaten cat meat? You should read more books when you are free. It says that cat meat is not good, so users are rare, do you know the Compendium of Materia Medica?"

Yan Jiecheng is worthy of being the son of the third master. Although his education is not high, he has read a few books, otherwise he would not have known about the cat meat recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica.

The current information is not developed. Of course, Liu Guangtian, who only has a junior high school diploma, does not know about the book "Compendium of Materia Medica".Seeing Yan Xiecheng's triumphant look, Liu Guangtian wanted to refute, but he was afraid of making a joke out of it, so he simply gave Yan Xiecheng a vicious look, and then turned his gaze to the silly Zhu who was cutting flesh.

"Roe deer meat is not bad, it's almost like pork, and it's quite tender, but it doesn't have much fat on it, and it doesn't smell like big fat meat when you eat it." After finishing his work, Sha Zhu put down the knife and took it out of his pocket. He took out a cigarette and called, and answered Yan Jiecheng's question while smoking.

Hearing that it was similar to pork, among the onlookers, recalling the feeling of eating pork, there was another sound of swallowing saliva.

Looking at the internal organs and bones piled together, Li Pingan quietly pulled Yi Zhonghai out of the crowd.

When the two came to the corner, Li Pingan looked around and said in a low voice, "Uncle, that's what I think. This thing is picked up on the road, but the meat is too little, and it's not enough to divide the meat from house to house. Don’t stew these things other than meat to make a pot of offal soup and let the neighbors in the courtyard drink a bowl.”

Although they are poor these days, there is still a lot of human kindness between the neighbors in the courtyard, especially for prey like this that do not cost money. If you catch a big wild boar, you are not allowed to buy or sell it now, and you can keep it for yourself. If you can't finish eating, you will usually take the initiative to share a piece of meat with your neighbors.When hunting small prey, they usually invite helpers or people who are close to the yard to have a meal at home.

If you catch prey, just keep it in your own house to eat and drink. Although the neighbors in the yard will not say anything in front of you, they will definitely poke your spine from behind. The mouths of the neighbors, in Li Pingan's opinion, are a very good deal.

Although reputation these days is not as important as it was in ancient times, it is definitely more important compared to later generations. After all, later generations live behind closed doors and don't even know the neighbors who live across the door.

Reputation is very important these days. If a person's reputation is bad, the promotion and salary increase in the unit can be said to have nothing to do with you.

After listening to Li Ping'an's opinion, Yi Zhonghai nodded in satisfaction. Now, as the patriarch of the entire courtyard, Yi Zhonghai naturally didn't want his family to eat alone and be stabbed in the back.

It's just because this is what Li Pingan got back. Although I am Li Pingan's uncle, I am not my own son after all, and I still expect him to take good care of me in the future. Things that make Li Pingan feel uncomfortable.

The two of them finished discussing in the corner, Comrade Lao Yi walked back to the middle courtyard, and said to the onlookers with a red face, "Don't surround yourself here, don't eat too much for dinner at night, after dinner, come to me Here for the chop suey soup”

After hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, the onlookers immediately fell into cheers and praised Yi Zhonghai and Li Ping'an for their grandeur.

Faced with the compliments from everyone, Yi Zhonghai seemed very satisfied, and pressed his hands to signal everyone to be quiet.

After everyone quieted down, Yi Zhonghai said: "Bright sky and bright blessings, Jie Cheng Jiefang, you go and set up the big iron pot in our courtyard and prepare to cook the soup. Everyone else should leave and go back to their homes." Go, come over for soup in the evening"

Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiecheng, the four brothers, heard Yi Zhonghai's words and rushed out of the crowd. The Liu family brothers built a stove in the middle courtyard, and the Yan family brothers quickly ran towards the front courtyard. Supplies are stored in two inverted rooms in the front yard.

The inverted house faces the alley outside. There is no window on the wall, only a fist-sized transom, which cannot let in sunlight.This kind of house is not as good as the basement of later generations. Li Pingan went in and looked at it, and the house is really tide.

The basements of later generations are at least reinforced concrete, no matter how damp the basement is, it will not be so damp, and it is still within the acceptable range.This house was built in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, there was no concrete to insulate the earth, so the house was too damp to live in. After a long time, people would definitely get sick.

Of course, this kind of situation can be solved by opening a big window on the wall, but when the house was built, it did not consider the issue of opening windows in the future. If the windows are forced to open, it will definitely affect the main structure of the house. Open a big window, in case the house collapses, whose responsibility is it?The street will definitely not agree to open the window privately.

Although housing is tight now, it is not as outrageous as it was in the 70s. People would rather wait for the unit to reassign housing than to ask for an upside-down housing. After all, no one wants to live in a room that cannot see sunlight and is very humid.

After the people dispersed, Silly Zhu also wanted to pack up his things and prepare to leave, but was stopped by Yi Zhonghai: "Zhuzi, what happened, now that Yanxia is pregnant, you take this piece of meat back and give it to Yanxia Replenish your body," Yi Zhonghai said, taking a piece from the meat bucket, about three to four catties of meat, and handing it to Shazhu.

"Then thank you, Grandpa." For the piece of meat that Yi Zhonghai gave, Shazhu was not polite, and took it with a smile, and wanted to go home with the meat after speaking.

Seeing that Silly Zhu was about to leave, how could Yi Zhonghai agree, this guy took all the meat, and you want to leave before finishing the work?That can't be done!
Yi Zhonghai hurriedly stopped Silly Zhu: "Zhuzi, you are the chef of our steel rolling mill, and you will be in charge of stewing offal soup later. After they put the iron pot on the stove, you have to come in charge of the ladle as soon as possible."

"Okay, sir, so you are waiting for me here! I really can't take your piece of meat."

"Isn't that you are a chef, who made you a good cook?"

"Okay, okay, let them boil the water first, and I will come out after I finish cooking"

The Yan family brothers moved very quickly. The Liu family brothers had just found the bricks for the stove when the Yan family brothers walked in quickly from the front yard carrying a big iron pot.

"You guys will boil the water later, and when you drink offal soup at night, the four of you will eat one more bowl of offal than the others." After Yi Zhonghai made a promise to the four of them, he turned around and went home for dinner without looking back. Yes, it's cold outside after all, isn't it?

Why are the four willing to obey the orders of the uncle?Isn't it just to drink one more bowl of soup than others when you can drink soup?
With the promise of the uncle, the four of them are now full of energy, and they all rush to work. After a while of work, they set up the stove, put the iron pot on the stand, and prepare to light the fire to boil water.

Li Pingan looked at the four people with quick hands and feet, smiled and shook his head, leaving the four people with excited faces to work outside, while he went home with Yi Zhonghai for dinner.

Back in the house, Ding Qiunan and Da Ma had already put the food on the table, and they were waiting for Li Pingan to come in for dinner.

Today's dinner was very quiet, Li Pingan felt a little uncomfortable, and always felt that something was missing. After thinking for a long time, he realized that the little black dog didn't come to whine under the dining table today.

"By the way, where is that little black dog? Where did it go? Why is it so quiet after eating today?" Li Pingan looked at the big mother curiously.

When Da Ma and Ding Qiunan heard Li Pingan ask about the little black dog, they both laughed.

Ding Qiunan helped the first mother to explain: "Now Xiao Hei is still crawling under the bed. When he was skinning the roe deer just now, Xiao He was frightened. He clamped his tail and ran under the bed and couldn't scream. Now I guess I haven't slowed down yet."

"This little black dog is a bit timid. When he grows up, I think it will be a bit embarrassing to use it to watch the nursing home." After listening to Ding Qiunan's explanation, Li Pingan also became happy.

"They all live in a courtyard, where dogs are used to watch the house. Since Qiu Nan likes it, let's keep it for fun," Yi Zhonghai said.

When Li Pingan's family was discussing the little black dog, the little black dog, which had been huddled under the bed, smelled the aroma of the food in the house, and tentatively poked out a dog's head from under the bed to observe.

The dog's head inspected the environment of the house from left to right, and after confirming its safety, it ran out from under the bed in a panic, wagging its tail and begging for food from the big mother.

"Grandpa, the water is boiling, should we pour the offal into the pot now?" Yi Zhonghai and the others had just eaten, and Yan Jiecheng, who lived outside to boil water, hurried in.

After hearing the news that the water was boiling, Yi Zhonghai stood up from the stool, and followed Yan Jiecheng outside to check the situation: "The water is indeed boiling, you go to the pillar room and ask Zhuzhu, he will make the offal soup later "

"Okay, I'll go find him now." After Yan Jiecheng finished speaking, he ran into Shazhu's room in a hurry.

After a while, the two of them came out of the house, and the small oiled paper bag in Sha Zhu's hand should contain prepared seasonings.

Silly Zhu came to the iron pot and directed the brothers of the Liu family to throw all the cleaned offal and big bones into the pot.

The chop suey and bones were put into the pot, and it didn't take long to cook, and a strong smell of broth wafted across the yard.

Those who hadn't finished their dinner at this moment felt that the cornbread in their hands was no longer fragrant, and ate the cornbout in their hands in two or three bites.The child, who couldn't bear the greediness, had already run out of the house with his own rice bowl at the moment, drooling greedily around the iron pot in the middle courtyard.

Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, also came out of the house with their jobs in their hands.

The flesh on the faces of these two little girls is obviously a whole circle thinner than when Li Pingan first came. The black and shiny hair before is now a little dry and yellow due to malnutrition, but even so, the two This little girl still looks slightly better than the other children in the courtyard.

After all, it is supported by the foundation of the past, so how long has it been without oil and water? You must know that the children in the courtyard and their age group are already capable of eating enough, and it is often ten days and a half months. Not a single oily smell.

From the changes in the two of them, it can be clearly seen that the Jia family does not have the blood bag of Sha Zhu for continuous blood transfusions, and the life of the ordinary family is no different from that of ordinary families in this era.

First came the children, and later, as the aroma became stronger and stronger, the adults who had been waiting in the room couldn't sit still anymore, and they all came out with bowls and prepared to line up for the offal soup.

After the offal soup was ready, Li Pingan took a spoon from the kitchen.Although the iron pot is not small, but there are also a lot of people in the courtyard. Basically, one spoonful of offal soup is enough for one person, not even one bowl for one person.

Li Pingan made soup for them one by one. Li Pingan had no prejudice against Qin Huairu and her two children. Each of them took a spoon, and they left after beating, and could not stay in front of the pot.

Soon, the pot of soup was bottomed out, but a small number of people still didn't get it. There was no choice but to add water and boil it for a second time.

The second pot of soup did not add a lot of water. After the second pot of soup came out, in order to compensate the people behind, Li Pingan made a full bowl of soup for each of them. Naturally, he got a lot of thanks discourse.

After all the people in the courtyard finished beating up, Li Pingan made a bowl of offal for the Yan family and the Liu family brothers, and then gave all the offal left in the pot to the children in the courtyard. Finished perfectly.

In the evening, Li Pingan took off his clothes and lay down on the bed. He didn't even have the strength to move his right arm. It's really hard work to make a meal, and ordinary people really can't do it.

"Look at your tiredness. Isn't it just making soup for the people in the courtyard? It's only a lot of work. You are so tired. If you are asked to go to the field to earn work points, I think you will starve to death." Ding Qiunan saw Li Pingan's tired face. With a collapsed look, he couldn't help laughing and teasing.

Regarding Ding Qiunan's ridicule, Li Pingan was so tired that he didn't even want to defend himself, which seemed to be a bit of a joke.
