Chapter 262: The Kid Next Door Cried with Envy
After scraping off the pig's hair, Wang's father took a knife to remove the pig's head and then began to cut the pig into pieces.
I have to say, it is a pleasure to watch a good butcher cut up pork.
The whole process was smooth and it didn't feel like much effort was put into it, and all the joints were removed.
Next to them, Wang Dashan and Wang Dahe's craftsmanship was still inferior to Wang's father's.
Because the money and food for buying pigs were all paid by Lu Tianming.
After cutting up the three pigs, Lu Tianming, Lu Shuhe and a few others used a borrowed large scale to weigh their approximate weight.
The prices of fat, lean meat, liver and offal were set according to the grain and silver he provided.
This price was calculated in front of everyone, and we didn't make any money from everyone.
Many people in the team would not take this into account, but they trust Lu Tianming's character.
Besides, this price is much cheaper than what it was sold at in Dongning Village before.
Although many people in the team were reluctant to spend money, they had to buy it no matter how reluctant they were.
They have been fleeing from famine for so long, fighting countless times, and their hearts are stretched thin.
I didn't think much of it at the time, but after settling in, I realized that many people were feeling a little unwell.
Everyone knew that this was caused by injuries sustained while fleeing the famine.
Nowadays, even a frugal person like Tian Funiang would think about buying some meat to supplement her diet.
The men and women washed their hands quickly, ran back to the house excitedly, and came with silver and food to buy pork.
At this time, the people in the team gathered in front of the pork stall and started picking up the meat.
When Lu Tianming set the price, he only made the fat meat two cents more expensive than the lean meat.
In this situation, naturally everyone would scramble to get the ones with more fat.
Fatty meat is not only delicious, but can also be used to make lard, which can be eaten for a long time if saved.
But these pigs are not fat and have little fat on their bodies.
Therefore, everyone started to squeeze forward, fearing that they would miss out on the good meat if they were late.
Seeing so many people in front of the stall, Lu Qingqing didn't squeeze in.
She was planning on having lean meat anyway, so it would be the same if she went later.
In front of the stall, Second Aunt Lu, who was helping the Wang family father and son cut meat, happened to see Lu Qingqing standing alone outside.
She had automatically assumed that the little girl was too embarrassed to step forward and grab it.
Second Aunt Lu squeezed out of the crowd, ran over, grabbed Lu Qingqing's hand and ran towards the stall.
After they successfully squeezed in, Aunt Lu pointed at the meat on the stall and asked Lu Qingqing to pick a few pieces.
Lu Qingqing, who had planned to wait until the last minute to buy, didn't want to refuse Aunt Lu's kindness, so she picked up a few larger pieces of lean meat from the stall.
When Aunt Lu saw this child, she felt that he was too honest.
She glanced around the stall and pulled the largest piece of fat meat closest to them.
This piece of fat meat was originally next to Tian Fu Niang, and she was hesitating between this piece and the other.
When he saw that the meat was snatched away, he was about to get angry when he saw that Second Aunt Lu took it for Lu Qingqing.
All of a sudden, the fire went out.
Although she is usually quite powerful, she thinks she can read people's expressions.
Daya is no ordinary person after fleeing famine for so long.
Besides, Daya had saved them several times along the way.
Never mind, it’s just a piece of fat meat.
After a while, the meat was almost picked out, and Lu Tianming brought out the pig offal from the basin.
Everyone started scrambling for the pigs' offal again.
Because the price of pig offal is much cheaper than pork, although it is not as delicious as regular meat.
But it’s meat after all!
On weekdays, it is very difficult for people to eat meat.
After the most popular pig offal was picked out, only three large pig heads, a pile of pig bones and a basin of large intestines were left on the stall.
People don't fight over the pig's head because the bones inside take up a lot of weight.
Even if it is cheaper than lean meat, it is not cost-effective.
As for the pig bones, the tops were cleaned out so thoroughly that it was difficult to remove the meat from the bottom.
The large intestine also contains pig feces, which is really unpopular compared to other pig offal.
Seeing that no one wanted these, Lu Qingqing bought all the remaining ones.
Seeing that it was her who wanted it, Lu Tianming only took the money for the pig's head and gave her the bones and offal.
Lu Qingqing knew Lu Tianming's temper, so she didn't argue too much and planned to send them more after it was done.
At this time, Yang's father and several men from Linshan Village also came over.
After discussing it, they decided to take the whole pig back with them.
Lu Tianming naturally agreed. This way, they would save more trouble and would not have to worry about spending too much money.
When Yang's father and others found out that Wang's father and son were butchers, they directly asked Wang's father to go back and help butcher the pigs.
By this time, it was already noon.
The women went back to cook, and the men started to clean the yard.
We just got some meat today, so everyone made some for lunch.
Soon, the aroma of meat wafted through the yard.
Their yard, which is farther away from the village, is better.
The other three were in the village yard, and when they were cooking meat at noon, they really made the kids next door cry with greed.
Because of the tight time schedule, Lu Qingqing planned to simply make stir-fried cabbage and meat for lunch.
This time she bought the most meat in the entire yard. Since there was already a pig in the space, she did not save money when cooking.
Cut a large piece of meat, cut it into small pieces, fry it in lard until it turns slightly yellow, then add chopped green onions and stir-fry until fragrant. The aroma comes out immediately.
After the greasy cabbage came out of the pot, they paired it with hot steamed buns and ate until their stomachs were full.
After dinner, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang began to pack up the pig heads and pig intestines they had bought.
Qin Lang used an axe to chop the big pig's head into pieces bit by bit.
After splitting it into two halves, it can be stewed in the pot.
As for the pig brain, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang couldn't eat it, so they gave it to Aunt Lu.
Lu Qingqing cleaned the pig intestines, washing them seven times with soot from the bottom of the pot.
She didn't let go of the pig intestines that had been washed white until the water was completely clean.
After preparing all the meat, Lu Qingqing found various spices from the space and prepared special spice bags for braised meat.
That afternoon, the yard was filled with the aroma of meat.
The aroma of the marinade after cooking was so overpowering that it attracted all the children in the yard.
Even though the adults took the children back, the children in the house couldn't help but run over again.
Later, not only children but also adults came to watch.
That afternoon, groups of people came to Lu Qingqing's door.
Among them, the permanent guests are Li Rui and his fellow apprentices.
When the first pot of pig heads came out, Lu Qingqing picked out the pig snout, pig ears and a large piece of meat for the few people.
The way the brothers ate the meat could be described as wolves devouring it.
While eating meat, Li Rui did not hesitate to praise others, his words were so sweet that it seemed to choke people to death.
Then just say nice things for free!
The "lock-picking master" Brother Tu even threatened to teach Lu Qingqing all the lock-picking skills.
It can be seen that the stewed meat is indeed delicious.
Seeing that several people were eating, Lu Qingqing picked out a few portions of meat and sent them to Lu Tianming's house and Master Yan's respectively.
The rest of the people were not left behind either. She put the food in a clean large basin and brought it to the yard, where Lu Tianming distributed it to everyone.
