Chapter 632: Whole Pig Banquet(1/2)
Zhu Yunmo looked aggrieved, quickly got up, clasped his lips and hugged the queen mother's legs, and said dissatisfiedly:
"The emperor's grandmother doesn't like Sun Chen anymore. Why did she help the emperor to experiment with whether this thing is useful, but she was treated like this by the emperor's grandmother?"
The empress dowager covered her nose and said, "You are young and strong in firepower. The smell of your feet is really pungent even if you clean them every day. How can you use it if you step on the Ai family?
Zhou Heng said very clearly. The Ai family already knows how to apply it. You don’t need to demonstrate it. If you want someone to find Zhou Heng, don’t touch the Ai family. Yuzhu quickly put these things away.”
Zhu Yunmo curled his lips and wanted to resist, but Madam Cui was quick to deal with. As soon as the empress dowager said the order, she got up and packed the things, wrapped them up again and directly ordered them to be put into the inner hall.
"mean!"
The queen mother glanced at me, "The Ai family is just stingy, what can you do?"
Madam Cui, who had sorted out the things, quickly stepped forward. The older the empress dowager was, sometimes she was like a child and needed to coax her.
"Empress Dowager, I see it getting late, otherwise I will order people to send food to eat in Cining Palace?"
Zhou Heng looked out the window and it turned out that the sky was already dark. Unexpectedly, he looked at the portrait and discussed Liu Renli's marriage again. It was time to leave until this time, after all, he had been here for quite a while.
"The Queen Mother was tired this day, so we still left now. You can take a break. Just try these small items when you have used dinner and bathing."
The Empress Dowager was a little reluctant. After all, it was really happy that someone would spend the day with her like this. However, Zhou Heng was moved by her words. She held Liu Xiuer and Su Xiaoxiao's hands and said reluctantly:
"Zhou Heng made sense. I won't leave you much for the Ai family, but if you want to come and sit when you have time, you don't have to ask these two brats to come again when you have time, do you remember?"
Su Xiaoxiao had no mother since childhood and grew up with her father like a wild horse in Datong.
Xiu'er even grew up in the yamen with her brother and she was sick all year round. She cherished the care of her elders very much. The two nodded obediently.
"Don't worry, the Queen Mother, we sisters will come here often."
After saying that, several people stood up, and the empress dowager did not forget to instruct Madam Cui to bring the rewards she gave to Liu Renli, and everyone left the palace.
The two carriages returned directly to Zhou Mansion. Now the Zhou Mansion has changed its brand, and the four gold-plated characters in the Bo Mansion of Zhongyuan are still particularly conspicuous.
Su Xiaoxiao got out of the car and snorted, "You have never invited us to a meal yet. Wouldn't we be in a loss?"
Zhou Heng rubbed his nose. This girl was really annoying. She had never collected money for her medicine. Now she disliked herself for not treating her to dinner.
However, it is the most unwise thing to reason with women. No matter what, Su Xiaoxiao is considered Zhou Heng's life-saving benefactor, and he still remembers this love.
"It's better to choose a day than a day. Let's have a meal today. I haven't cooked for a long time. How about Xiaoxiu?"
Zhu Yunmo and Xiu'er both laughed, and the few of them hurried into the inner house.
As soon as they arrived at the backyard, Sheng'er and Dong'er rushed out early and threw themselves into Zhou Heng's legs. Both of them grew taller, which changed a lot from Qingping County.
Zhou Heng bent down and picked up the two children directly. After living here for a long time, Sheng'er naturally no longer missed his parents. Dong'er seemed to understand the reason and never mentioned it again. It was so sensible that it made people feel distressed.
Su Xiaoxiao came over, pinched the noses of the two little guys, and said with a stern face:
"Why, I don't think of my fifth sister anymore after not seeing each other for many days, two little unconscience-free guys?"
Dong'er smiled and showed the defects of her front teeth, and she felt a little embarrassed.
"Fifth sister, don't say that. We miss you very much. But if two people pounce on you, they are afraid that you will not be able to hold you. Wouldn't this feel sorry for you?"
Su Xiaoxiao glanced indecently.
"I can't hold you? I can't hold you five together. How could I not hold you two little things?"
Dong'er was a little anxious, climbed down from Zhou Heng, hurriedly hugged Su Xiaoxiao's legs, and said shyly:
"Don't, don't do this. You are a woman, you should be weaker. Even if you have the strength, you can't show it here. Have you ever seen a lady running on the street with an adult in her arms? She won't get married in this way. Only when you learn to show weakness will someone feel pain. Marry a good family!"
Su Xiaoxiao's face suddenly became gloomy and she looked up at Zhou Heng. These words were not something Dong'er could explain. She was only seven or eight years old, so how could she understand whether to get married or not?
"Zhou Heng, see if I don't break your legs, what can I do with? You have taught you both torture. If not, I will pick these two little guys away at night, hum!"
As he said that, he was about to raise his fist, Zhou Heng was startled and hid next to Xiu'er, grabbing Xiu'er's shoulders, really afraid that this desperate person would be in trouble.
"Stop! Why are you angry without discrimination? When did I teach them? But then again, isn't Dong'er worried about you? Although this is not listened to, what he said is nothing wrong?"
Su Xiaoxiao was so angry that she stomped her feet. She grabbed Xiu'er's arm and was about to swing her fist. Zhou Heng was so scared that she was really capable of doing things. It would be easy for anyone to be angry.
"I'll go cook first, let's have something special today. Do you eat it?"
Taking advantage of this time, Xiu'er had already grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's fist.
"Okay, how old are you, do you still have to worry about these things? If you really hit someone here, your reputation will be really spread. Let's go in quickly. Don't say that you are really hungry, how about punishing him to cook delicious food for us?"
Su Xiaoxiao was still very angry. Dong'er felt that she had caused trouble, and she looked nervous and worried. She was almost crying when she looked at Su Xiaoxiao.
"Fifth sister, it's all Dong'er, so why don't you beat Dong'er? Don't scare Brother Zhou. He looks very tall, but he is actually very timid. He is not as strong as you, and he can't beat him even if he beats him. He can only get beaten..."
Xiu'er reached out to cover Dong'er's mouth. The girl said nothing in a hurry. This explanation was that the more she described it, the darker she became. The two of them could get Zhou Heng's care, get good education here, and have the warmth of home. It was really hard-won for them, so Dong'er cherished it very much.
"Okay, you scared the two children. We will come back very rarely. Don't fight when we meet, otherwise I will go back to Beishan."
Su Xiaoxiao snorted and said nothing more. Zhou Heng turned around and wanted to leave.
Zhu Yunmo looked proud. After all, she didn't provoke this female devil today. She pointed her gun at Zhou Heng. She was quite happy to watch the fun.
But it’s all right to add fuel to the fire. Su Xiaoxiao, who was chasing him in the capital, still remembers it fresh.
"What did you say you want to make special food?"
Zhou Heng stopped, took a look and thought for a while and said:
"The wild boar cubs I bought with Brother Xue have been fattened. They are all fed with our special feed. Today, I will kill one and cook a few dishes to make sure you will enjoy your appetite. By the way, we will go to the flower hall after half an hour. We will have dinner there today."
Zhou Heng left after saying that. Xiu'er wanted to ask if she needed to help her, but looking at Su Xiaoxiao who was still angry, there were two children who were a little scared. She didn't ask more about how many people she took to her room.
Zhou Heng walked quickly to the kitchen. Boss Xue followed him at some point, rolled up his sleeves and looked at Zhou Heng.
"Young master, do you want to kill pigs? I'm good at this, why don't I help you?"
Zhou Heng nodded and looked up and down at Boss Xue.
"Where did you go just now?"
Boss Xue blinked and pretended to be stupid in front of Zhou Heng. It would be useless to tell the truth.
"Looking at Miss Su Wu's posture, I dare not show up. After all, I can't beat her, and she can't attack the young master, so I secretly went to see Mingyu.
The boy was so stupid about studying. I said a few words to him. There was nothing wrong with him, and I didn’t want to disturb him. After all, I was still worried about this place, so I came back and checked out quickly.”
Zhou Heng knew that Boss Xue was telling the truth, and it seemed that Su Xiaoxiao's martial arts had improved again.
"You can't beat her now?"
Boss Xue had a silly smile on his face and waved his hand quickly.
"I couldn't beat it before, and now I can't do it. I'm a three-legged cat kung fu, just to take advantage of it with a little more strength and have no real tricks. However, Miss Su Wu is not an ordinary master, and I can't hear her breathing and footsteps."
Although Zhou Heng doesn’t understand these, he has seen a lot of martial arts. It seems that Su Xiaoxiao’s martial arts grows very quickly because of those drugs.
I don’t know if this thing has the ability to take drugs to last.
"If you have it, don't talk about anything else. Come with me to kill pigs. I'll make some food and keep the pig blood for me. Don't throw it away. I want to make a whole pig feast."
As they said that, the two entered the kitchen, and the wild boar had long been tied to the yard of the kitchen.
When he entered the door, Zhou Heng ordered that it was a wild boar, which was raised since childhood, and his fangs had been pulled out and castrated. It was just that his strength was great, and because of the castration, his wildness was much smaller, he was even more lazy and very fat.
Boss Xue is a hunter and is the best at cleaning up wild animals. He quickly finished killing the pig and cleaned it up. He also burned the skin and scraped it clean with a knife. He did not throw away the blood of the internal organs, and he divided it into pots and stuffed it into pots.
Zhou Heng started to prepare, shaved the large pieces of meat separately, and started cooking with the pig's heads in a large pot. The ribs were made into sweet and sour pork ribs, and the pig's trotters were stewed together with peanut rock candy in a casserole, and braised with elbows.
The internal organs were cooked in a pot directly according to the braised sauce, and put various spices to start stewing. As for the tip of the buttocks, he chose a portion with fat meat, chopped it into diced meat and made a few braised lion heads. This dish is his favorite, fat but not greasy, and it is very delicious.
Cut the pork belly into two inches squares, bale it into squares with rushes, stir-fry the sugar color, add rice wine to stew it, and paste it on the edges of the casserole with rice paper. Soon all kinds of fragrant flavors came out.
As for the pig blood, Zhou Heng asked someone to beat eggs, stir with the pig blood, add salt to the pot and steam it into blood tofu, cut it into slices, put it into plates, and drizzle it with garlic juice.
The firewood in a large pot is very fast, and the braised pork heads will be cooked soon. They use an iron hook to remove all of them. Zhou Heng cut some of them on the plate, and of course the remaining one is the big head. These people from Huichuntang will have a good taste.
Zhou Heng felt a little tired of it. After all, it was all pork. He quickly prepared four cold and refreshing side dishes, clapped his hands and counted the dishes, and waved his hand at the servant.
"It's OK to serve the food."
Boss Xue was so greedy that he had already taken advantage of Zhou Heng's unpreparedness to cut a piece of pork liver and a piece of pig's face and chewed it there. After eating, Boss Xue's eyes were lit up, and he swallowed it all in one go, rubbed the corners of his lips and asked quickly.
"Young Master, why is this wild boar meat different from what I had eaten before? It has no fishy smell at all, and the meat is not so tidy, and it is very delicate?"
Zhou Heng raised his eyebrows, "I'll ask if you taste delicious?"
Boss Xue kept shaking his head, "It's delicious, not ordinary. Some people raise this pig in the village, but the meat is unpalatable and it's always lost, so few people are willing to raise it. Why is this completely different? Is it because of the feed?"
Zhou Heng shook his head, "Not all, except for breeding pigs, I asked Desheng to castrate all the other pigs. I had no other thoughts. I only knew how to eat and sleep, and I didn't like exercise. Naturally, I grew meat very quickly. These were only six or seven months. If I had been raised for a year, the taste would be better!"
Boss Xue knew that Zhou Heng always had all kinds of novel ideas, and he was not surprised at all.
After all, young masters are omnipotent. They treat diseases and save lives, make money by opening shops, and build various workshops. They know everything, just hold on to their thighs.
Thinking of this, he grinned, "Young Master, Beishan raises a lot of chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, there are really not many wild boars. Otherwise, I can get more pigs and raise more. This meat is so delicious, and you can attract business even if you open a restaurant."
Zhou Heng raised his eyebrows. In fact, this was just a test. After all, he had never done it. He just remembered that if you want to raise pigs, you have to slay the pigs early, so the piglets that Boss Xue had brought back were already dealt with.
This has been handled like this since I was a child, and I don’t have much wildness. Since this technology is possible, I naturally have to manage it well. If pork can be included on the dining table in the capital, it is not impossible for ordinary people to eat meat twice a year.
The feed for raising a sheep is also artificial, which is not much different from raising pigs. It can be slaughtered a year, but a sheep can reach 40 or 50 kilograms at the top, while pigs are different. They can easily grow to 200 kilograms a year. If they are well raised, it is not impossible to be taller.
This thing is half cheaper than this!
