Chapter 48 The Braised Pork Attack is Finally Coming
When Cao Anping was about to reach the courtyard.
He took out half a pound of pork belly, hung it on the handlebars, and staggered back to the courtyard.
I had been having a pretty comfortable time these past two days, but it looks like the beasts are getting ready to cause trouble again.
Cao Anping, who had never openly brought meat home, chose to be high-profile this time and make these restless beasts cry with envy.
Arrived at the gate of the courtyard.
Yan Bugui never disappoints anyone. When he saw the pork belly hanging on Cao Anping's handlebars, his eyes lit up.
But before he could speak, Cao Anping predicted his prediction, "Teacher Yan, I can do it myself, so I don't need to trouble your family to help me."
Yan Bugui was choked and could only look away with difficulty, saying, "Doctor Cao, you misunderstood. I wanted to ask you, I have made a fishing rod, can you take a look?"
"Oh? You didn't bend the hook yourself? I don't want it then."
"Don't worry, I bought it specially. The fishing rod is also made of top-quality bamboo." Yan Bugui assured.
"Okay, bring it here for me to see. If it's suitable, I'll buy it."
Yan Bugui hurried back to the house and took out a three or four meter long fishing rod, which looked okay.
The thin nylon thread used was the kind used to sew cloth shoes, and the fishhook was a real fishhook.
You can only use it for the time being. Cao Anping didn't see any special fishing gear for sale in the supply and marketing cooperative, so he can only make do with it for now.
"Teacher Yan, how much is it?"
"Give me two dollars." Yan Bugui looked as if he had made a fortune.
"Two cents!" Cao Anping directly cut off 90%.
"How is that possible! The line and the fishhook alone cost more than two cents!" Yan Bugui was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
Cao Anping nodded and said, "But your things are worthless except for the fish hooks and fishing lines. How about I give you an extra two cents?"
"No, no, at least one dollar." Yan Bugui was also convinced. This kid was bargaining too hard. He was really more calculating than him.
The two of them argued for a while and finally made the deal for 6 cents.
After receiving the money, Yan Bugui immediately became happy. The cost was 30 cents and he sold it for 60 cents, making a profit of 30 cents.
Cao Anping knew at first glance that it was too expensive, but he didn't care. He thought it was fun to joke with Yan Bugui when he was in a good mood.
However, when I am in a bad mood, I get very upset when I see Yan Bugui trying to take advantage of me.
"Teacher Yan, can you tell me where is the best place to go fishing now?"
"I'll take you there tomorrow. It's quite far."
Cao Anping asked in confusion: "Why are there so few people fishing in Shichahai next door? Logically, there should be a lot of fish in Shichahai."
Yan Bugui leaned closer and whispered, "This summer, two people went missing in Shichahai, and the police came to the lake to salvage them.
In the end, the body was not salvaged, but all the fish in the lake were salvaged.
Later, few people came to fish, and the few who still went fishing rarely caught any big fish.”
Cao Anping understood. Logically speaking, Shichahai is in the central area of the city, and there should be many idle old men in the courtyards who go fishing there.
It turned out that a murder had occurred and the fish had been salvaged.
Cao Anping took the fishing rod and went back to the backyard.
This fishing rod cannot be folded, and is not very convenient to hold. I have to see if there is a chance to make a fishing rod that is easy to carry. Although there is space, such a long fishing rod cannot be taken out and used whenever I want.
All the way through the central courtyard, the flesh on the handlebars attracted everyone's attention, and both adults and children couldn't take their eyes off it.
I guess the kids in the yard will be crying out of greed tonight.
Jia Zhang just looked at Cao Anping's back with resentful eyes and did not attack him with her curse. It seemed that she had not fully recovered from Director Wang's warning.
Cao Anping returned home and put his bicycle and fishing rod into the house.
He took out another five pounds of pork belly. How could the previous half a pound be enough?
Anyway, I have set up a cover this time, so I can make more at one time and put them in the space, and I can eat them directly later.
This can avoid cooking meat frequently and arousing other people's suspicion.
He thought about it and opened all the windows. He tried his best to be more high-profile and piss off these guys.
He also took out the star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, pepper and other condiments he had drawn in the past two days.
As long as you have enough seasoning and some basic cooking skills, you can make delicious braised pork.
First blanch it in water and stir-fry to release the oil, then stir-fry some sugar color, add various spices and seasonings, stir-fry to color, add water and cook over high heat for an hour, then collect the juice.
For Cao Anping, cooking for an hour is a pleasure.
But for the people in the hospital, it is a bit uncomfortable.
Although the weather was cold and the air molecules were not moving violently, I still cooked more than five kilograms at one time.
The smell of braised pork still filled the backyard, drifted to the middle yard, and stopped in the middle yard.
I wonder if Yan Bugui would feel at a loss if he knew that the fragrance did not reach his house and he did not smell it.
Liu Haizhong curled his lips when he smelled the fragrance, thinking, "I am the second uncle, I am not envious at all." But he shouted:
"Guangqi, fry two eggs for me."
The deaf old lady smelled meat in the house and her mouth was watering, but she would not go to Cao Anping's house to ask for it. She would not fight a battle without confidence.
Jia Zhang was sitting at the door sewing shoe soles, muttering to herself, "Damn you, you eat alone and fill the yard with the smell of meat. How could you not choke to death?"
Bang Geng next to him started crying, "Grandma, I want to eat meat."
"I still want to eat meat. Go find your mother. No, my dear grandson, wait for Shazhu to come back and find him.
He hasn't come back today, he must be cooking for the family, maybe he will bring back some meat."
When Banggeng heard that Shazhu would bring back meat, he stopped crying immediately.
Yi Zhonghai wrapped the meat in newspaper and returned to the central courtyard. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he smelled the aroma of braised pork.
He pinched the meat in his hand and suddenly felt that today was a good day to eat meat.
At least it is not that noticeable. As the highest-paid person in the hospital, he has always lived a low-key life. After all, he has to integrate with the masses.
Today I wanted to invite the deaf old lady to discuss something, and I happened to go to Fifth Master's place, so I bought a pound of meat.
Jia Zhang's eyes were like a hawk's as she sized up the newspaper in Yi Zhonghai's hand. The shape, the texture, could it be meat?
"Bang Geng, go to the uncle's house and see if what he brought back is meat."
Banggeng rolled his eyes and ran towards Yi Zhonghai's house.
"Old Yi, why are you back so late today?" An old lady was cooking and asked when she saw Yi Zhonghai coming back.
"I went to buy a piece of meat. You ask Sha Zhu to come over and help cook it, and then take the old lady over." Yi Zhonghai put the meat into the kitchen.
An old lady opened the newspaper and saw a piece of fat meat. She was immediately happy.
She said, "It seems that Zhuzi hasn't come back yet."
Yi Zhonghai asked in confusion: "I didn't hear that the factory had any guests to entertain today?"
In order to appease the workers, Li Huaide has now stopped the small kitchen in the factory, and only when there is a reception will Sha Zhu be asked to cook.
So these days, Shazhu didn't cook for himself and didn't bring back a lunch box.
As for the big pot of food, Sha Zhu was not interested in bringing it. He had enough food and drink, and the Jia family didn't often ask for his lunch box now.
The lady shook her head and said, "Then I did it myself?"
"Okay, you do it, I'll go to the backyard to call the old lady." Yi Zhonghai said helplessly.
I finally had a meal of meat, and it felt so good that I didn't let it go to waste.
Banggeng ran back quickly after hearing this, "Grandma, I heard the old man say to eat meat, I want to eat meat too!"
Jia Zhang happily patted Bang Geng's head and said, "Okay, good grandson, let's have meat tonight. Go tell your mother not to cook anymore."
If it were any other family, she would at most take advantage of them, but for Yi Zhonghai's family, she, Jia Zhang, took it for granted that she was entitled to eat.
Jia Zhang was well aware that Yi Zhonghai was training Jia Dongxu as an elder. Not only did she not object, but she was happy to see it happen.
This way, she can take advantage and get Yi Zhonghai's favor in the courtyard. There is no stupid widow with a child, there is only a difference between good and bad ones.
As for retirement, that will be at least ten years later.
At this time, Sha Zhu slowly woke up at the entrance of a remote alley.
He subconsciously touched the back of his head and saw a big lump. He then touched his neck and picked off pieces of blood.
"Hiss!" He took a breath of cool air. The winter in the city was really cold. If he didn't wake up, he would probably freeze to death.
"Which bastard threw a stone at me?!" Sha Zhu cursed.
He didn't think that it was Cao Anping who knocked him unconscious. After all, the direction was completely wrong and the stone couldn't turn.
"Where is my sack?" Sha Zhu quickly felt in his pocket and found the five dollars was still there.
Sha Zhu gnashed his teeth and cursed in his heart, "Who is this? He knocked me out just to steal a sack?"
He supported himself on the ground with his right hand, trying to sit up, but he fell to the ground again with a thud.
"Why are my hands numb?" Sha Zhu muttered, and stood up with his hands.
After dancing a few times on the spot, he finally felt much warmer, then went back to the courtyard in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
......
After Cao Anping stewed the meat, he took out the rice that had been cooked together from the space.
Started eating with big mouthfuls.
While eating, I heard the sounds of children being beaten coming from several families. Even Guangtian Guangfu from the second uncle's family was being beaten.
I vaguely seemed to hear the two brothers stealing their father's scrambled eggs.
Listening to these programs, Cao Anping drank an extra bowl of rice and had a bunch of grapes after the meal, feeling very happy.
At this time, the Yi family was also preparing to eat.
On the table was a small bowl of braised pork, a pot of pork stewed with vermicelli, a pot of stewed radish with some oil floating on it, and a basket of steamed buns made of two-grain flour.
Even considering Yi Zhonghai's family's income and ration, tonight's meal is quite rich.
The deaf old lady's teeth almost fell out from laughing. She had just smelled the aroma of meat from Cao Anping's house in the backyard and was so greedy that she couldn't help it. She didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai would be so generous today.
Although an old lady brought her meals in the past, they were all her own food and she had hardly ever tasted meat.
"Dong Dong~"
Just as the three were about to start eating, Jia Zhang came knocking on the door.
"Old Yi, my Dongxu is still suffering in the police station, and you, the master, are celebrating by eating meat at home, right?"
Yi Zhonghai was speechless. The smell of Cao Anping's meat had already covered it up, so why did he still come to his door?
He replied, "Ms. Jia Zhang, please stop knocking on the door. I just bought some meat to honor the old lady."
The deaf old lady stepped forward and cursed, "Zhang Xiaohua, you're itching for trouble, right? Do you want to be beaten with a stick from me?"
Jia Zhang was suddenly speechless. The only person in the courtyard whom she couldn't be a scoundrel to was this deaf old lady.
So she winked at Qin Huairu and Bang Geng behind her.
"Grandma, I want to eat meat." Banggeng cried.
Qin Huairu also came forward with a crying voice, "Uncle, Dongxu is not here, and our family has run out of food.
It doesn’t matter to us adults, but please, for Dongxu’s sake, have mercy on the two children.”
"Hey!"
Yi Zhonghai sighed. What else could he do? He could only open the door.
Since he had plans for Jia Dongxu, he could not completely resist the Jia family's persuasion.
Besides, everyone in the courtyard was watching, and if he allowed the Jia family to make a scene right outside his door, that would have a very bad impact.
As soon as the door opened, Jia Zhang rushed in and sat at the table in a familiar manner.
Next came Banggeng, and then Qin Huairu who was holding Xiaodang.
The deaf old lady and the middle-aged lady's faces turned pale.
When Jia Zhang saw the dishes on the table, her eyes lit up and she said, "Haha, no need to wait for us, let's eat."
After saying that, he started to pick up the braised pork in front of the deaf old lady, and Banggeng sat directly next to the deaf old lady.
Yi Zhonghai's face turned a little dark when he saw this, but he didn't say much. It had already been put in, so there was no point in saying anything more.
So I sat down quickly, and the food was finished in just a few bites, making it a complete waste.
Then, suddenly, the room became quiet except for the sound of chopsticks hitting the bowl and the sound of chewing.
A few minutes later, when the bowls of food were wiped by the steamed buns, everything was eaten.
Jia Zhang was still not satisfied and said, "Mr. Yi, you didn't make enough steamed buns with the flour."
The aunt wanted to say: "I didn't prepare anything for you."
After thinking about it, she decided to give up. It was totally unnecessary. Jia Zhang had no shame at all. She simply ignored him and went to the kitchen to clean up the dishes.
The deaf old lady didn't get to eat the two pieces of meat, and her face looked bad. Her hands had already started to reach for the crutch. She really wanted to beat Jia Zhang in the face.
Yi Zhonghai saw that the atmosphere was not right and started to chase people away, saying, "You guys go back first. The old lady and I have something to discuss."
Qin Huairu thanked Xiaodang profusely and left with him.
Jia Zhang's eyes turned and she asked, "Old Yi, are you talking about cleaning up that jinx in the backyard?
I can help too. He caused my Dongxu to be arrested, and I won’t let him go.”
She turned to Bang Geng and said, "My dear grandson, go back first. Grandma is busy."
"Grandma, if I don't leave, do you still want to eat meat?"
"Listen, there's no meat left. We're here to talk about something. Go to Sha Zhu's house and wait. He will bring back the meat."
"Okay." Banggeng heard it and ran away.
Yi Zhonghai thought about it and agreed to let Jia Zhang stay, as there were some things that Jia Zhang could really help with.
