Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village
Chapter 24 You should drink soup
"Okay, leave it to me. I'll watch them."
The third brother is as neat and tidy as ever.
"Okay, Third Brother, I'll let you see who's better then."
Looking at the third brother, who was even thinner than himself, Erlang expressed his dissatisfaction.
"Da Ni, Er Ni, you two should drink less soup first to let your stomachs get used to it."
"Also, Third Brother, drink less first."
He filled each of them with half a bowl of broth and handed it to the three of them.
It's not that Liu Guozheng is stingy, it's mainly because the stomach and intestines are in a state of contraction after being hungry for too long, and eating too much will cause acute gastric dilatation or gastric rupture, so you can't eat too much after being hungry for too long. The best thing is to eat liquid food first, or semi-liquid food, such as millet porridge, in small amounts and multiple times, to give the intestines a process of adaptation.
Of course, meat soup is also OK. If your stomach doesn't feel uncomfortable after eating it, you can eat a little meat, and potatoes should be OK. But you can't eat too much, just eat until you are 70% full.
"It smells so good."
"I can be full by drinking mutton soup."
"Brother Zheng...Brother Zheng, I just want to drink mutton soup."
"I'll just have the soup."
"Me too."
The mutton soup was a little hot, so the three of them blew on it and drank it in small sips. Otherwise, they would have been unable to hold back and would have finished it in one breath.
"Don't be impatient. Drink slowly. The main purpose is to let you get used to it first."
"See? This pile of meat is our lunch today. Don't worry, it's enough."
Maybe they don't understand what I mean about the stomach and intestines, but just listen to me. After drinking the soup, if their stomach is not uncomfortable, they can still eat some potatoes and mutton.
I can only eat cooked food, forget about grilled food, as it would probably be hard to digest.
"Brother Zheng...Brother Zheng, look, it's okay, I'll drink some more."
I was already hungry, and the aroma from the pot kept coming into my nose, making me even hungrier. The two little girls also looked at Liu Guozheng eagerly, and their meaning was very clear.
"Old Three, you three go see if Old Yang has finished his work, and get some firewood."
Forget it, I'll just find them something to do, wait for them to come back, drink the soup, and then try to eat less meat.
"Um"
Putting down the bowls, reluctantly, the three of them were just one step away from turning back, the taste was so tempting.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Lao San, Yang Youde and others came back.
Da Ni and Er Ni each held a few small plates.
Yang Youde held a few big ones.
"Guo Zheng, what do you think?"
Yang Youde, handed over the plate.
"Well, that's good. It's fine as long as it works. It's just for temporary use anyway."
The rectangular dinner plate is one size larger than the stainless steel dinner plates of later generations, and can be used to serve meat or steamed corn bread.
The small one is square, about the same size as an ordinary plate. You can put the roasted meat directly on it and eat it while holding it. You can also put it on the ground to temporarily replace bowls and plates.
"Old Yang, you should drink some soup first, and then eat the meat after you get used to it."
"Also, just keep an eye on these three and don't let them eat too much."
Let's leave this question to Yang Youde. He is old and smart, and he must understand all kinds of principles after living for such an old age.
"Okay, Guozheng, don't worry, leave it to me. I will definitely take good care of them."
Yang Youde took the third child and two little girls to drink soup from the pot.
Liu Guozheng and his friends were grilling meat and potatoes nearby.
"Boss, this is too expensive."
"Yeah, let's get some potatoes and steamed bread."
"Yes, yes. The wages are high anyway. As long as we can fill our stomachs, that's enough. We are not picky about food."
"Yeah, we're all a little embarrassed."
Wang Fugui and the other three looked at the two large plates of mutton, their eyes sparkling, and they kept swallowing their saliva. They all liked to eat meat, but they had never been so extravagant before. Two large plates, they had never eaten as much meat as this one meal in several years.
This is not an exaggeration, it is the truth, they live in the remote suburbs of Beijing and their lives are no better than those of people from other places.
The land in the remote mountainous areas is already barren, the seeds are not good, and the yield is pitifully low.
In the past few years, I could still make ends meet.
Due to various reasons, I could only eat until I was 70% full in the past two years. This year it is even worse. I would be content if I could eat until I was 50% full.
Although these craftsmen earned more than others, they could not buy anything with their money. All daily necessities required tickets.
I heard that those who eat commercial grain have to go to the black market to find food. The price is high, but it can solve the urgent need.
Villages in the suburbs would occasionally organize to go to the black market to buy some high-priced food. But it was not the same for those in the far suburbs. Each trip was fifty or sixty kilometers, and the food they bought was not enough to cover their consumption.
There is also the issue of safety. Although not everyone has a gun these days, anyone who wants to take a different path will definitely prepare something. Guns can't scare people, only the courage to shoot can scare people.
"Master Wang, Master Zhang, eat with confidence."
"How can we go without meat while guarding the mountains?"
"You saw it too. The textile factory took away three wild boars this morning. We don't lack meat."
"I'll leave the construction work to you. Just do a good job and I'll take care of the food."
It is difficult to get meat and food, but that is for others. Not to mention that there are deep mountains to the west of Xishan. If you want to eat meat, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu can get it done in one night. If there are no restrictions, the two of them can cause ecological imbalance in the mountains within a few months.
However, now they basically don't need to go into the mountains to hunt. There are more animals in the second world, and they are fatter. The clones can handle them directly, and they don't need to do it themselves. Now there are several thousand kilograms of meat stored in the storage space, all of which are processed whole pigs. There are also some hares, pheasants, and wild goats.
"Don't worry, do it yourself, bake it yourself, and eat it yourself. Don't be polite."
"Good good."
"Then we're welcome."
“This barbecue smells so good!”
"Um!"
The four of them stopped being polite and started eating.
While they were talking, Erlang was not idle. When others had just started, he was almost full.
Liu Guozheng was roasting the mutton slowly and leisurely, sipping the soup from time to time, his face full of enjoyment.
Yang Youde drank half a bowl of mutton soup, and then he talked to the third brother and the others about the harm of eating a lot after being hungry for a long time, etc. Fortunately, they still listened to Yang Youde.
