Splendid Pastoral Wife

Chapter 119 Buying New Year's goods, a plague occurs (4)
"I also escaped because of fear, but I was not infected with the epidemic." The scholar hurriedly distinguished.

"No, I can't let you destroy a village by yourself. If it is known that people from Yangguan Village have escaped to Tianshui Village, then Tianshui Village will also be finished, and you should be handed over to the county magistrate."

"Wait..." Tian Liusu felt unimaginable when he heard Qin Baozhu's treatment method, but also felt helpless. If he really got the epidemic, he could only deal with it in this way.

"Susu, I'm afraid you don't know about this disease. If it spreads, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"I'm not trying to stop you. Let me ask you about the specific situation first. What are the symptoms of the epidemic? Are there any dead people?" Tian Liusu turned to the scholar after finishing speaking.

"Not yet, it's just high fever, coughing and vomiting, and drinking soup and medicine doesn't help..." The scholar said it all in a hurry.

"You said you were not infected?" Qin Baozhu quickly covered his mouth with his hands.

Tian Liusu lowered his head and thought for a while, then said to him, "It doesn't have to be the plague, you take him back to Qin's Village now, and isolate him there."

Tian Liusu's thoughts changed. The symptoms he said were not like the plague, but rather like a kind of flu. Flu is also contagious, and it will kill people if it is not cured for a long time, but it is not as terrible as the plague.

"Alright, it's okay to isolate him at my place. I'll send someone to the county magistrate to inform him later."

"Well, let him choose for himself, should he follow you to your Zhuangzi, or be sent to the county magistrate?"

"Thank you both, I'd better go to Qinjiazhuang with Master Qin." After hearing what Tian Liusu said, the scholar hurriedly agreed when she saw that she would not send him back.

Then Qin Baozhu uttered cruel words to those bullies. If he caught him next time, he would definitely drive out of Qinjiazhuang and never appear here. They were shocked by him, and they agreed again and again, and they didn't dare to think about it again. .

When he saw the New Year's goods bought by Tian Liusu, he felt sad again. When he was a child, his father would personally take him to the street to buy New Year's goods every New Year. In a blink of an eye, he hadn't bought New Year's goods for many years.

Tian Liusu observed his words and knew in his heart that he had thought of something unhappy again, so he smiled and said, "I'll buy it again some other day, and I'll send you a copy too. Today's too much, I can't take it."

"Okay, then I'll wait." Qin Baozhu shouted happily.

After sending the scholar to Qinjiazhuang, Tian Liusu and the others returned home with several baskets full of New Year's goods.

After sorting these things into categories, she put all the meat outside to freeze. In Yunluo's absence for the past few days, she suddenly became quieter, but she always felt a little empty in her heart. Her poison was almost all these days After unraveling, she also remembered a lot of things about the past in her mind, but they were all fragments one by one, and she couldn't piece them together yet.

During this period, Mrs. Song would come to her every day to explain to her the growth of the sweet potato planted. Everything is normal. It's a sight.

After Qin Baozhu sent the scholar to Qinjiazhuang, he asked Lao Liangtou to see him. They have all been sealed off, and the county magistrate has already reported the matter to the court, and it will be dealt with after the new year. Tian Liusu secretly complained, why report these things to her?She is not the village head.

Her pigs, chickens, cows, and sheep have grown very well under her careful feeding, especially the goat and pigs have grown fat and strong, and they are ready to be slaughtered for meat.

The slaughter of pigs and sheep in the village is also a major festival. The villagers in the village should be called to help kill them. After the slaughter, they should be entertained at home for a meal. When it was the coldest, raw meat could freeze overnight if left outside, so Tian Liusu decided to kill pigs and sheep today.

Early in the morning, she got up to boil fire and boil water, and called Mrs. Song's family to come and help.

Since Zaoya's father came back, their family has become more and more prosperous with the help of Tian Liusu. Today they came to Tian Liusu's house to help. The two adults were still wearing old clothes, but Zaoya had already put on a newly sewn one. Small flower cotton jacket and cotton trousers, and the water red outfit looks festive and cute.

After Zaoya's father arrived, he opened up tools for sharpening knives and preparing pig hair removal, and called Changgui, Tie Dan, Song Xi, Niu San and others from the village to come to help.

There was a burst of laughter and greetings, several people heard that after Tian Liusu's family slaughtered a pig, they all put down their own affairs and came to help. Tian Liusu was also very happy to see the expressions on the faces of these people. The "New Year flavor" of the village is very strong, and she can feel the festive and peaceful atmosphere surrounding Tianshui Village every day at home.

The process of slaughtering pigs and sheep in the countryside is very particular. The pigs and sheep must be driven out of the pen first, and the blood cannot be slaughtered in the pen. Tian Liusu actually complains about such killing behavior in her heart, but she is not hypocritical People, pigs and sheep are destined to become food in people's mouths. She is not a religious believer, so she can't pity them.

They were skilled workers, and after the slaughter, they washed the faded meat and brought it back in the morning, and then she began to prepare the meal for today.

She remembered that when she was a child in her previous life, she lived in the mountains, and every family in the village would kill a pig to celebrate the New Year. It was the same at that time, and she had to make an appointment with the people in the village in advance, and on the day when the pig was slaughtered, she would treat guests to dinner.

The meat should be cut into one-finger-length and slightly thicker pieces, then fried in a pan to get the fat out, and seasoned with onion, garlic, sauce, vinegar, etc. The sauerkraut to eat is cooked in a big pot, and it tastes very fragrant and delicious.

But there is no sauerkraut here. Although potatoes are available, they are in limited supply. Only the capital can sell potatoes, so it is impossible for her to cook that dish, so she made modern famous home-cooked braised pork to entertain them.

She bought a lot of oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar for the Chinese New Year, and the seasoning is complete, so this dish is quick to prepare. First, put some oil in the pot on a small fire, and when it is hot, add a few spoons of white sugar and stir it with a spoon. Pour out when the pot is bubbling and set aside.

Then cut the fat and thin pork belly into cubes the size of mahjong cubes and put it in the pot. After frying the oil, add the onion and garlic seasoning and stir fry for a while, then add soy sauce for coloring, and add water when the meat pieces are fried golden brown After the meat is cooked, add other seasonings and simmer on low heat. After the meat becomes soft, add sugar juice, then add firewood and collect the soup with high heat. A pot of braised pork is bright red and attractive, fat but not greasy. The entrance is soft and instant. It will be made.

Naturally, her craftsmanship is not bad, and she once again made the villagers full of food, because she made a big pot, and there was some left after eating. She gave a bowl to each of the tenants in the village for their children. Let them eat it, let them try something new, after all, they can't eat meat.
