Traveling through time and encountering war, I took the whole village to escape famine
Chapter 35 Yun Qingqing 1
Li Xiuxiu quickly cut the meat into pieces and washed it with hot water. Seeing that there was still a lot of hot water left in the pot, Li Xiuxiu used a ladle to scoop it into the wooden basin.
Yun Duo walked out and soon took out a few pieces of ginger and a few packets of spices. "Mom, this ginger was dug by grandpa in the mountains, and this is a spice bag that grandpa made by combining all the spices he picked in the mountains. Grandpa asked me to give it to you for stewing meat."
"The wild ginger your grandfather dug this time is much bigger than before." Li Xiuxiu felt that the ginger this time seemed different from the previous ones. Without any doubt, she took a piece, washed it and started cutting it. She also cut the green onions that she had prepared in advance.
Li Xiuxiu was afraid that the lard would be lost, so she didn't want to blanch the meat. She poured the meat directly into the pot and stir-fried it over high heat until the meat changed color and the water vapor was dried up. The meat was stir-fried and sizzling with oil.
Li Xiuxiu put the prepared green onion and ginger into the pot and continued to stir-fry. When the aroma came out, she added a spoonful of brown sugar.
Brown sugar was still very precious in this era, and only the slightly better-off people like Yun Qingsong could afford to buy it. He didn't want to put too much, so he put a small spoonful, and then put salt and a small spoonful of soy sauce, and the seasoning packet in. Li Xiuxiu turned around and scooped the water from the basin.
When Li Xiuxiu turned around, Yun Duo quietly took out the braised sauce that had been prepared in the space, quickly poured it into the pot, and then quickly put the plastic packaging back into the space.
Li Xiuxiu brought the water and turned around to pour a ladle of water into the pot without paying attention. Seeing that the water was a little less, she scooped another ladle and poured it in. After putting the water in, Li Xiuxiu felt that the color of the water seemed a little darker. Before she could come to her senses, Yun Duo had helped to cover the wooden pot lid.
"Mom, I'll light the fire. You go and see how much meat Dad and the others have sold." Yun Duo diverted Li Xiuxiu's attention, and Li Xiuxiu turned around and walked out.
Just as she reached the door, she suddenly remembered that her daughter should not control the fire well or the food would burn, so she said to Yun Duo: "Mom, let me light the fire and you go and see how your father and the others are cleaning up."
The wild boar was very big. After removing the hair, internal organs and bones, there were probably about 200 pounds of meat. The villagers bought 70 to 80 pounds of it one after another, and the family stewed more than 10 pounds, so there were about 100 pounds of meat left.
When Yun Duo arrived outside the yard, she saw Yun Hai walking slowly towards them with two old men in their sixties or seventies, with gray hair and wrinkled faces. Yun Qingsong greeted the old men, "Fifth Master and Sixth Master are here, come in quickly."
"Qingsong, I just went to your fifth and sixth uncle's house to deliver meat, and I'd like to invite your fifth and sixth uncles to come over for dinner." Yunhai remembered that the original owner still had two uncles who were still alive, so he sent two kilograms of meat to each of their families.
Yun Qingshan and Yun Qinglin also called out, "Fifth Master and Sixth Master, please come in and sit for a while. The meal will be ready soon."
"Qingshan, take your fifth and sixth uncles into the house first," Yunhai instructed his eldest nephew.
"Okay uncle, Fifth Uncle and Sixth Uncle, let's go into the house first." After hearing his uncle's instructions, Yun Qingshan invited everyone into the house.
"Qingbai, don't throw away the pig offal. Pick the gallbladder carefully and use it as medicine for me. Throw away the pig lungs and keep the rest," Yun Hai stopped Yun Qingbai when he saw that he was about to throw away the pig offal.
"Uncle, this offal is fishy and smelly and not tasty. It also wastes oil if fried. Why keep it?" Yun Qingbai thought that his uncle could just keep the gallbladder for medicine, but why did he keep this stinky offal.
"Turn the pig intestines inside out and clean them with stove ash. I'll prepare some marinade ingredients and ask your cousin to marinate the pig head and offal after dinner. I guarantee you'll be drooling at the smell."
When Yun Qingbai heard what his uncle said, he resigned himself to cleaning up the stinky pig offal.
Seeing that there was still over 100 pounds of flesh, Yun Hai remembered that the original owner had a daughter, Yun Qingqing.
Given the Yun family's financial situation, many people came to propose marriage to them. Their conditions were all very good, and some even opened shops in the town. However, Yun Qingqing was a face-chaser and did not like any of them. Instead, she only fell in love with Zhang Sigui, a carpenter who came to Yunjia Village from Kaoshan Village to do work.
At that time, the family members did not agree with this marriage. It was said that Zhang Sigui's mother was a well-known shrew in the surrounding villages. The eldest son married her niece, the second son married his niece, and the third son's wife was tortured to death by her and her two wives.
But Yun Qingqing was attracted by Zhang Sigui's appearance, and the two of them exchanged glances and secretly fell in love with each other.
Zhang Sigui went home and told his mother that he liked Yun Qingqing and asked his mother to propose marriage. Who was Mrs. Zhang? When she heard that her son was going to marry the scholar's sister, she was very happy.
But with Mrs. Zhang's nature of taking advantage of others, how could she possibly offer a betrothal gift to propose marriage? So Mrs. Zhang asked her two daughters-in-law to go around the village to discredit Yun Qingqing, saying that Yun Qingqing had had physical contact with her son.
Mrs. Zhang casually found a matchmaker and came to the Yun family to propose marriage without even bringing a gift. She also threatened everywhere that if her family didn't pay any dowry, her son would be able to marry the scholar's daughter. Yun Qingqing's mother was so angry about this that she fell seriously ill. Since then, Yun's mother's health became worse day by day, and she passed away within a few years.
Neither the original owner nor Yun Qingsong agreed to this marriage, but Yun Qingqing felt that her reputation had been ruined and she liked Zhang Sigui very much, so she knelt in front of her parents and begged them to agree to the marriage. Zhang Sigui also knelt down and repeatedly told the Yun family that he would treat Yun Qingqing well.
Yun Qingsong saw that his sister refused to listen to advice and was determined to marry Zhang Sigui. He also thought that although Zhang Sigui's mother was not a good person, Zhang Sigui was a good person. He was honest and had the skills of a carpenter, so he agreed.
