The husband is a grinding goblin [farming]

Chapter 17

Raising chickens to nourish the body

The man wiped his hands on the black apron tied around his waist, and lazily said, "I don't want them all. If you want them, I'll give them to you."

Gu Fu nodded, and saw the man bring him a thick hemp rope to tie the pig's head and intestines together, revealing the four dirty pig's feet that were covered.

The man asked Gu Fu, "How about this?"

Gu Fu nodded, and the man put the hooves the size of the palms of the four adults into the bag, and handed them to Gu Fu, who took it and said, "Boss, when will you open the shop next time?"

This shop is not open every day like the shops on the street. Last time Gu Fu didn't see the door open, so he took a special look when he came here today.

The man picked up the axe, "Six days later, let's go to market day, what?"

"I want a hind leg." Gu Fu put the pork into the basket, raised his head and said.

The man was surprised, the ax was put on the table, and he made a "Dang" sound, "Do you really want so much?"

"Yeah." Gu Fu picked up the backpack.

The man did not expect that someone would buy so much pork. Compared with meat, chicken, duck and fish, the price of pork is slightly more expensive. Even in the county, only rich people will come to him to buy it, and they will talk to him about the price for half a day. It's very annoying to dawdle, not as straightforward as this poor little guy, if he didn't see the old clothes on the little guy, he would have thought it was some young master.

Gu Fu looks good, dressed neatly and cleanly, even old clothes can't hide a kind of temperament, like the cold pine on the snow mountain, giving people a cold and alienated, like a nobleman.

The man hesitated for a while, whether he should trust this little man, seeing that he was only fourteen or fifteen years old, he said after a while: "Yes, I will keep it for you that day, and if Shen Shi doesn't come, I will sell it."

Gu Fu said "hmm", and went to the street to find the old man's ox cart to go home.

Jiang Lan looked at the ten chickens in the basket for a moment, then saw Gu Fu take out the blood-stained bag from the back basket, opened it and saw the pork, and was even more stunned. Mi, I don't know how to express my inner surprise.

Jiang Lan is used to thrift. Gu Fu will bring back the money to her after she finds a job in a small restaurant. She also knows that her son is busy from morning to night and needs to replenish his body. The basket of eggs that Gu Fu bought last time, she From time to time, they would fry a bowl for Gu Fu.

She doesn't think about herself at all, she has to help others with farm work during the day, and all she eats is some porridge and wild vegetables, which have no nutrition at all and don't care about being full. , The whole person lost a lot of weight.

Gu Fu just observed her habit. The ten chickens he bought today were also used to make up for Jiang Lan. I don’t know if he went there too late, and he didn’t find anyone selling big roosters and hens.

"Today I'm here to cook." Gu Fu carried the pork to the kitchen, and Jiang Lan couldn't help but follow, "Son, how much did this... cost?"

"The ones sold in the county are quite cheap." Gu Fu filled a basin of water with a wooden basin. Although the dirt in the pig intestines got out, the man who sold the pork didn't wash it, and there was no stain on Gu Fu's face. For the facial expression, I washed the pig intestines four or five times, wiped them with coarse salt and put them aside.

Jiang Lan thought it was Gu Fu who wanted to eat meat, and was going to help, but she heard Gu Fu say, "I bought chicken cubs to nourish your body."

Gu Fu seemed not used to saying this kind of thing, he paused, and then said: "Go and see, you can eat it when you grow up."

Jiang Lan rolled up her sleeves and felt very happy. The chickens were bought by her son to make up for her body. She responded repeatedly: "Hey! Okay, I'll find some food to feed them."

Gu Fu lit the firewood on the stove, cooked the rice, then took the pig's head and trotters and burned them on the fire, removed the unshaven hair on them, and scraped the black paint on the pig's head with a knife , exposing the scorched pigskin, and the trotters were also scraped and cleaned.

Jiang Lan searched in the house but couldn't find food to feed the chicks. She thought of a family in the village that raised three hens. Jiang Lan planned to go to this house to ask what to feed. Thinking like this, After talking to Gu Fu in the kitchen, he went out.

Jiang Lan stood at the door of a house, knocked on the door, and soon a female voice came from inside, "Here it is, who is it?"

The sound of footsteps approached, the door opened, and the young woman inside seemed to have just woken up, her hair was disheveled, and there were red marks left by sleeping on her fair face, and her belly was obviously protruding. After a while, "Auntie, what's the matter?" "Sister, I heard that your family has three hens, this is..." Before Jiang Lan finished speaking, she was interrupted by the woman apologetically , Euphemistically said: "My aunt also saw that I was pregnant. My mother's family sent three hens to make up for my health. I am afraid that I will lose my health. It's not that I don't want to sell it to my aunt."

Jiang Lan smiled softly: "I know, you should be a big fat boy by looking at you! Auntie didn't come to ask you to buy chickens, I want to ask you what to feed the chickens?"

"My aunt has never raised chickens. Today my son bought me ten little chickens in the county. It cost a lot of money. He said it was for my health, but I was afraid that it would be a pity to feed them blindly. That's why I came to ask my sister."

The woman couldn't help being shocked when she heard this. Who in this village doesn't know Gu Fu, a worthless little bastard who doesn't come home all day long and fights with others from time to time. Although she hasn't seen Gu Fu in the past few days , but as long as I think about it, I know that I have gone out to hang out with people again. When I went to wash clothes by the river before, a few women talked about it, and I listened to it.

Now Jiang Lan actually told her that Gu Fu bought her ten little chickens. She had seen that little guy Gu Fu a few times before. With a weed in his mouth, and the gangsters next to him calling him brother and brother, he can tell at a glance that he is not a good student.

The second time I saw Gu Fu fighting with people in the village, riding on people's body to fight suppressively; Lan disappeared immediately after giving the money, regardless of Jiang Lan's begging to let him go home early...

Such a man with hands and feet who does not work to subsidize the family, but instead asks his mother for money, now even buys chickens for Jiang Lan to make up for Jiang Lan's body, and even buys ten chickens!Gu Fu Is this the sun rising from the west?

"Sister?" Jiang Lan looked at Hongmei in a daze, and called again.

Hongmei came back to her senses, and glanced at Jiang Lan's face again, seeing that Aunt Jiang's expression didn't look like a lie?And why did you lie to her?

Thinking of this, Hongmei swallowed the shock, let the door open and said, "Come in, Auntie, I'll show you."

Hongmei is good at raising chickens. She is a little proud of raising three fat big hens. Pointing to them in the chicken pen, she said to Jiang Lan: "They are the same as us, and they eat three meals a day. To feed them well, wheat bran, millet, vegetable leaves, corn, leftover rice and vegetable leaves are fine. They will also catch insects and earthworms, and even eat small stones. It’s nothing to worry about, as for the chicken coop. …”

Jiang Lan listened very seriously, and when she finally left, she asked her to go to her house when she had time, so she could come to her if she had anything to do. Although she said so, she also knew that her son had a bad impression in the hearts of the villagers. Also a little cramped, didn't bring anything.

After Hongmei sent Jiang Lan away, she went into the house and started cooking, and waited for her man to come back and talk to him.

After Jiang Lan came back, she smelled the smell of meat coming from the kitchen. She couldn't help but walked towards the kitchen. Gu Fu separated the fat meat and cut it into pieces and put them into the pot. Now the snow-white fat meat has turned It became a browned and browned oil residue piece, which tasted fragrant and burnt, with a light oily juice in the mouth.

Gu Fu put the boiled oil into a dry bowl, and a small bowl of lard was boiled, leaving some in the pot. Gu Fu put the lean meat in, stir-fried it, and waited for the meat slices to form and cut them again. Good wild vegetables.

Jiang Lan looked a little stunned. It was the first time she saw Gu Fu cooking. This look was a little strange. She didn't study how this strange feeling came from, because Jiang Lan never took good care of Gu Fu since she was a child. .

When her husband passed away, I had to prepare for the funeral and a series of other things, and then went to find work to help people collect farm work. When I was busy, I didn't have time to cook a meal for Xiao Gufu. Xiao Gufu also went hungry several times. Later, Jiang Lan When going out, little Gu Fu also went out to find the children to play with. Jiang Lan didn't know whether they were hungry or full, and she didn't have the energy to take care of them. As time passed, the relationship between mother and child was not very good.

As long as Gu Fu came back to ask her for money after going out for a few days, she would feel this strange feeling.

Gu Fu knew that Jiang Lan was at the door, and he looked at her when he cooked the dishes. Jiang Lan smiled and told Gu Fu about raising chickens.

Gu Fu listened and responded from time to time. He cracked four eggs and started cooking egg soup: "Put them in the basket first, and then I will make a chicken coop for them."

Jiang Lan responded and went to feed the chicken.

The pig’s head and pig’s trotters in another pot next to Gu Fu’s were scooped up by Gu Fu and boiled over high heat. Ginger and garlic were also put in it to remove the fishy smell. Shrunk hard.

Gu Fu picked them up with chopsticks, cleaned the pot, and started to stew pig's trotters. There were very few vegetables in this season, so Gu Fu grabbed a few handfuls of soybeans and soaked them with pigs. Cook hooves together, put onion, ginger and garlic and cover.

The pig intestines were cut into small pieces. Gu Fu poured out the egg soup, put in the cut intestines, and stir-fried them with chili powder. Hot and sour stir-fried pig intestines are out of the pot.

Gu Fu didn't mess with the pig's head, cut it into medium chunks, put it in a large bowl, and put it away.

After Jiang Lan finished feeding the chicken, she came to the kitchen to wash her hands and serve the food. Gu Fu cleaned the pot, turned off the fire, and heated some water with the residual heat to wash the dishes.

Jiang Lan looked at the white and soft rice, and thought of the coarse rice at home and the ten catties of rice that Gu Fu bought back, so she knew it, took two bowls and filled one full.

After Gu Fu got the water ready, he came to serve the rice and whipped his chopsticks.

The village was shrouded in the sunset glow, which gradually disappeared into the sky, and the night slowly opened.
