The Era of Hard Work

   Chapter 87 Roll up your sleeves and end the game (recommended ticket)

   On National Day, Lu Dong pulled goods to the market early in the morning, and Du Xiaobing arrived before seven o'clock.

   "Old Du, are you serious?" Lu Dong had been dubious yesterday.

  Du Xiaobing changed into some faded clothes he washed, also Nike, went directly to the booth, and moved with Lv Dong and Qiao Weiguo to distribute daily necessities.

   "Didn't you agree yesterday?" Du Xiaobing followed behind Lu Dong to fight: "Of course I want to come."

   He suddenly had a face full of intoxication: "I've already thought about it. I'll use the 50 yuan I earned myself to buy a gift for Ning Xue. She will definitely be moved."

   Hearing this, Qiao Weiguo touched his bald head and felt that Du Xiaobing's head was abnormal.

   As he was thinking, Jiao Shougui and Jiao Sanhei arrived.

   Jiao Sanhei set up a stall and asked Qiao Weiguo, "Did you listen to it yesterday? Xu Liang and Fang Shuan killed the Kunlun monk and Gu Yue monk, and Long Yunfeng was killed by Xia Suiliang..."

  Qiao Weiguo said: "The Martial Saint will appear tonight."

"Yeah, Yu He is amazing! Pushing 800 horizontally has no opponents, Xuanyuan re-emerges as a martial artist! No. 1 in the world!" Jiao Sanhei suddenly changed the subject: "Wei Guo, you are a member of the martial arts. Who is the number one martial arts master today? Yes? Is there no one similar to Martial Saint Yu He?"

  Qiao Weiguo thought for a long time: "The first master should be the host of Shaolin Temple."

   Jiao Sanhei asked again, "More powerful than Master Haideng?"

   "I don't know." Qiao Weiguo told the truth: "Because no one has seen the current host make a move."

  Jiao Sanhei thought of the martial arts novels he had read: "I understand, once he makes a move, he will definitely cry, and the situation will change!"

  Du Xiaobing looked at the two and felt that there was something wrong with their brain circuits.

   As a senior student of the Physical Education Institute, he has seen Sanda practitioners compete with traditional masters. The scene was too tragic.

   completely broke the original cognition.

  Wulin? Du Xiaobing shook his head, came to the back of the braised pork biscuits truck, consciously wore an apron and hat, picked up the kitchen knife and gestured twice.

   It seems that he really wants to use his labor income to buy gifts for the goddess in his mind. Since the first person came over in the morning, Du Xiaobing has worked hard, and he is busy until more than eight o'clock in one breath.

   Lu Dong greeted him and Qiao Weiguo, took the red star's car to Quannan, first went to the West Market to buy goods, and when he came back, he went to Shilibao Niu Ge to pick up the ordered pigs.

When    arrived, Brother Niu was collecting soybean worms, each of which was five centimeters long and round and meaty. It made people think of cooking methods such as frying, boiling, and roasting.

   Brother Niu finished the bill and came over to greet Lu Dong: "Dongzi, here we come."

   Lu Dong went over, picked up a bean worm and looked at it, and asked, "Brother Niu, this thing can be eaten by the people in the city."

   Brother Niu laughed: "It's good to have someone." He asked Lu Dong: "Have you ever eaten it?"

   Lu Dong put down the bean worms: "I was poor when I was a child, and I didn't have much to eat, so I had to find something delicious by myself. This thing is cooked on fire, it's first-class."

   If you eat it now, it probably won’t be that flavor. It’s not that things have changed, but that you eat more good things, and the taste has changed.

  Brother Niu covered the bean worm basket and said, "Unfortunately, you don't receive the goods anymore. This is a good time for bean worms and grasshoppers."

   Lu Dong smiled: "We are not still cooperating, I got all my meat from you."

   Speaking of goods, Brother Niu called Lu Dong to go to the house with him and took water from the big freezer.

   Lu Dong came out with a big pig's head. Looking closely, the slaughterhouse really didn't have to hurry, and there were a lot of fine hair left.

  It was normal in this era, he said, "Brother Niu, I want to give people some brine, so I can get it fresh."

   "Don't worry!" Brother Niu took out a pile of heart, liver, spleen and lungs: "The pigs that were slaughtered by the meat factory last night were delivered in the early morning."

   Lu Dong said with a smile: "Brother Niu is righteous."

   This time, the stewed water is not for sale, but for self-eating and giving as a gift. Lu Dong didn’t want much, so he just hung it up.

  In the south of Quan, a hanging pig is put into the water, basically including the pig's head, heart, liver, spleen, lung, hoof, intestines, stomach, tail and so on.

  The pig's head is divided into cheeks, ears, arches and mouth strips.

  Because of different customs and eating habits in different places, the specific scope of pig water is also very different.

  For example, there is a famous stir-fried kidney flower in Shandong cuisine, so the kidney here is a single-sale product, and it is rarely classified as a dunk.

   In addition to the four hangings into the water, Lu Dong also bought some well-made large plastic lunch boxes in the market. When it comes to fashioning food, at least it looks like that.

   When things are delivered to the house, put them in the freezer first, and Hu Chunlan will dedicate a day to cook them tomorrow.

   It was already afternoon when Lu Dong returned to the university town. There is no need to worry about Qiao Weiguo, and there is no big problem for Du Xiaobing.

   After all, he is practicing sports, except for his sore wrists, everything else is fine.

   After five o'clock, Lu Chun came over again in plain clothes to squat.

   Lu Dong asked, "Any clues?"

   "No." Lv Chun said: "In the afternoon, a worker at the innovation port construction site called the police and lost a bag, but there was no valuables."

   Lu Dong was curious: "Is this another group of people, or is it a shot to change places?"

   Lu Chun shook his head: "There are no clues for now. The market is crowded with people. Let's try it first." He then said to Lu Dong, "I'm going to Quannan for a temporary mission in two days, and I can't contact the outside world."

   When I go back at night, the market has been calm.

  On the morning of the 2nd, just after dinner, Lv Dong started busy, assisting Hu Chunlan in handling the pigs that came in yesterday.

  This era is not more than ten years later, but the slaughterhouses or slaughterhouses are not so careful, and the raw water bought in the market must be treated twice before it is put into the pot.

  Because there are only four hangings, no special preparations have been made, so traditional methods are used to deal with them.

   The tradition of boiling water with boiled water during festivals in Lujia Village can be traced back to a hundred years ago. There are many people in the village who are good at it, but there is only one household named Cheng Lifeng in the whole village.

  Hu Chunlan learned this cooking skill from Grandma Lu Dong, and then made some changes based on her own accumulated experience.

   Some changes can kill a traditional dish, and some can make the taste even better.

  Hu Chunlan belongs to the latter.

  Limited to family conditions, this is the rarest food for Lu Dong when he was a child. Since he was in his early ten years, he has learned to assist Hu Chunlan in handling live pigs.

   In the final analysis, when I was a child, my stomach was short of oil and water, and I was greedy.

   It was a time when a family was stewing chicken and drooling all over the street.

  The four big pig heads are neatly placed on the table, the hot water is boiled in the iron pot on the large stove, and in the stove below, the soldering iron, fire hook and thick steel bar are burning red, waiting for someone to use it at any time.

  There are many fine hairs on the pig head and trotters that are not easy to handle, so secondary hair removal is necessary.

  Lü Dong wrapped the steel bar in coarse cloth, took it up and waited for it to cool down a bit, came to the front of a big pig head, adjusted the angle, and inserted it directly into the nostrils of the arch, and the burnt smell immediately wafted.

  The steel bar keeps stirring in the pig's nostrils, trying to remove all the hair.

   Poke both nostrils in a row, put the steel bar back into the fire, and change the soldering iron.

   Next, use a soldering iron to dehair the pig's head.

  The place where the soldering iron is not good, and the red-burning fire hook.

  In this way, the hair removal efficiency is relatively low, and the scorched areas need to be shaved again after that.

   But this is a traditional practice in Lujia Village.

  Rosin and asphalt are easy and labor-saving for hair removal. People here have known for a long time, and even used asphalt many years ago.

   Cheng Lifeng's deceased father realized the toxic side effects of asphalt and corrected the practice of the whole village by himself.

  In the village, except for Cheng Lifeng, who is in the water business, other people boil water or eat it by themselves.

  Hu Chunlan soaked the internal organs in cold water, and took a knife to scrape the pig's head: "We eat it by ourselves, and we also give it to others to try it out. It must be handled well."

   Lu Dong put the iron on the pig's head again, and said, "I originally wanted to buy a gas spray gun and burn it directly. I searched for it in the market for a long time, but I didn't see any for sale."

   Once he went to the slaughterhouse because he bought the chicken from a copycat fried chicken shop. At that time, the treatment was very fine, like small fine crumbs, and the flame of the natural gas gun was sprayed, and the effect was excellent.

   "There are only four hangings into the water in total, no trouble." Hu Chunlan took a knife and cut off the pig's ears: "There is no need to spend that money."

   She is skilled, cutting off her ears and arching her mouth: "Stupid methods are safe and non-toxic."

   Lu Dong nodded, there are not many things, if you really want to cook a lot, you must use other methods.

Hu Chunlan cut off the pig's mouth: "The orchard is about to expire. I've been thinking about it in the past two days. Cheng Lifeng's store will close on August 15th after the sale. We don't do braised cooking in our village. Why don't we open a store? "

   The business of Lv Dong University Town was booming, and Hu Chunlan was also moved.

  Economy and society, people's minds change, some people see the benefits of doing business, and some ideas will break through the original conservative.

   In July, Lv Dong caught leeches and cheetahs to sell, and Hu Chunlan repeatedly told them to hide them, thinking it would be a joke.

   Later, I felt that this business was good, and I gradually relaxed my mind.

   went to Lv Dong to do business in the university town, and began to support him vigorously.

  Now, get ready to roll up your sleeves and go out in person.

   Lu Dong persuaded: "Mom, this is a tiring job! You can just help me make braised pork. At other times, you can play poker on the old street..."

   "No matter how tired you are, can you serve these 20 mu of orchards?" Hu Chunlan interrupted Lu Dong directly: "Without the orchards, there will be only two mu of land left on the southern slope.

   Without waiting for Lu Dong to answer, she said again, "I'm only forty-three years old, when will I end my idle time! When people are idle, they are prone to get sick..."

   Married early in the early years.

   "What's wrong? Mom, let's not talk about this." Lu Dong thought about it and said, "When the orchard in the field is finished and the weather is cool, you can help me. We also have someone to take care of in the university town."

  Hu Chunlan said: "Don't you both have people in business?"

  Lu Dong thought carefully: "Let's not make braised pork first, it's not suitable for a university town at this stage. I'll think about making a living and making money."

  Hu Chunlan's focus is to earn money to find a wife: "Also."

   To perfect the pig's head, after Hu Chunlan cut off the ears and the mouth, Lu Dong brought the axe sterilized by boiling water and began to split the pig's head with the axe.

  This picture is a bit scary.

  The whole pig's head is not easy to cook when it is put into the pot. The pig's head meat is very difficult to cook, and it is not delicious after cooking.

   Lu Dong is very strong, the axe is heavy enough, and it has been specially sharpened. After a few strokes, the second senior brother's head will bloom.

   After finishing the heavy work that required strength, Hu Chunlan could handle the rest. Aunt Li Min also came to help, and Lu Dong rode the Jialing car to the university town.

   It took a lot of time to process the pigs, and Lu Dong finished two runs, much later than before.

   Not only did Qiao Weiguo and Du Xiaobing arrive, but there was also a customer waiting to buy braised pork biscuits.

  The big crown was parked on the sidewalk, and Qian Rui was sitting at the folding table talking to Zhao Juanjuan. Since he came here every morning, Qian Rui and Zhao Juanjuan were very familiar.

   "Little boss, here are some biscuits!" Qian Rui waved to Lu Dong.

   Lu Dong dressed neatly, washed his hands and made braised pork biscuits, and asked, "Why do you change the time today?"

  Qian Rui said with a smile: "The construction site will have a meeting at eight o'clock."

   After talking to Lu Dong, Qian Rui chatted with Zhao Juanjuan.

   Lu Dong didn't stay in the market much, and went home to help Hu Chunlan make the water. Even if he had a big pot and a large stove, he was busy all day.
