As a granddaughter, he can't be stingy and hold back his granddaughter's generosity.
No, he asked Qi Kang'an to call a dozen more men back and prepare to have them kill the big snake together.
With Dr. Gao here, you don't have to worry about keeping anything precious. Anyway, you don't have to worry about it being wasted.
Unexpectedly, we encountered a problem at the first level: Snake Lin was too hard.
Even the knife couldn't cut it, so Qi Kang'an used his flat-headed knife to cut it with all his strength, only to get a shallow mark.
Qi Kang'an wanted to cut it again, but Doctor Gao immediately stopped him, saying that the snake lin was a good thing, so don't destroy it.
what is it now?
It was Doctor Gao who suggested breaking off the Lin pieces one by one. These Lin pieces might be sold for a lot of money in the future, so it takes a little effort now.
However, Doctor Gao didn't say this directly, he just said that since it couldn't be chopped, it would be easier to break off the lin pieces. It would definitely be easier to deal with the flesh than to deal with the lin pieces directly.
Then there was a group of men pulling at the big snake.
As long as a hole is opened and the meat inside is exposed, the other pieces will be easy to deal with.
Doctor Gao was right, it feels easier to break the lin slices than to chop them directly.
The mouth was ready. Yinzai bit the big snake, and the seven-inch and corresponding abdominal positions were bitten by it, which penetrated directly into the flesh. Especially the seven-inch, several pieces of Lin had fallen off, exposing the inner quilt.
The bite turned red and bloody.
However, this ease is only relative. The snake was too big and the lin pieces were numerous and difficult to break. It took more than a dozen men from Sishi to Shenshi to break off all the lin pieces.
Lao Qi's family was not stingy, so they stayed for everyone to eat at noon and made three-height pancakes.
After Lin Pian is processed, the rest will be much simpler.
Not counting the lin slices, the snake's gallbladder and snake teeth were also taken away. The inside of the snake's belly was also cleaned. After chopping it into pieces, the pure meat was weighed and weighed more than four hundred kilograms.
If we weigh it together with the Linpian ones, we estimate it to be five to six hundred kilograms.
Old man Qi made a decision. Each of the men who helped lift the snake would be given five kilograms of snake meat, and those who helped kill the snake would be given ten kilograms. It would be more laborious to break the snake than to lift it.
Other villagers were divided into households, and each household received an average of two kilograms of meat.
In this way, about three hundred kilograms were gone, and Lao Qi's family still had about a hundred kilograms left.
Old man Qi thought for a while, then carried ten kilograms alone to the old man's house.
After delivering the meat and returning to the gate of the hospital, the brother and sister came back one after the other.
Qi Bao'er walked in and said, "Nai, has everyone set up a stove?"
She and her eldest brother came in from the nearest side door. To return to the main courtyard, they had to pass through the large kitchen. Yesterday, there were people queuing up to cook there. When they passed by just now, the stoves were being used and there was no one outside.
.
"But no, your Grandpa Kaishan has informed me that the yard where these two people live now will not be left. After our houses are built and moved out, this place will have to be demolished and rebuilt."
There is no need to keep it anymore. For your own convenience, it is not difficult to find stones around. Today, many people have built simple stoves for use.
Dali asked doubtfully: "Rebuild it? Who will build it?"
Who can afford such a big piece of land?
The old man Qi washed his granddaughter's face and said, "The plan is to build this side of the yard as an ancestral hall and the other side as a school."
"Master, don't you invite someone to take a look?"
Is it okay to choose the place for the ancestral temple so casually?
Old man Qi looked calm: "So it's just preparation."
This is a major event related to the future of the Qi family, how can you do it casually?
Da Lang said oh and went to fetch water to wash his face.
Another greater convenience of the main courtyard is that there is a well in the courtyard, so they don't have to wait in line for a long time to get water like others.
Of course, Lao Qi's family didn't say that the well here couldn't be used by others. The courtyard door was always open except at night, so you could get water at any time.
It's just that the people in the village are kind and won't compete with Lao Qi's family for water during cooking time.
-
At night, the whole village is filled with the smell of meat, and everyone is reluctant to do it this time. When it's time to stew, it's time to stir-fry.
Trying to have fun is not.
Besides, with the weather now, the meat won't last long. It's hot here. In September, the weather is cooler at night, but it's still muggy during the day.
Instead of letting it stink, it's better to eat it all in your stomach to replenish your family.
Unlike others who were running around with bowls in their hands, Lao Qi's family waited for everyone to come back and then closed the courtyard door in order not to stand out.
There were so many people that we were divided into two tables for dinner, one for men and one for women and children.
Speaking of tables and chairs, although they have carpenters, the carpenters can't conjure up tables, chairs and benches for you at once.
These two tables in Lao Qi's house were originally the master bedroom. Rich people were very particular about having an inner and outer room. There was a wooden wall in the middle and the door was a double door. These two tables were made after the pair of double doors were removed.
The bottom was built with stones to serve as table legs.
As for the chairs, the wooden wall in the middle of the big house was also removed, and they were made of long boards with the same stone legs underneath.
They are already doing very well. Others in the village have nowhere to go, so they can only eat while standing with their bowls in hand, or put the food directly on the ground.
I went off the rails again, come back.
The tables were divided, but the food on both sides of the table was more or less the same. Unlike other families, there was not as much food on the men's table, but less food on the women's and children's tables.
Lao Qi's family has a lot of snake meat, and Mrs. Tian is not stingy about it. The potatoes are stuffed with snake meat, and the potatoes are stuffed into a big nest. You can hardly see the potatoes. It is served directly in a pot.
Another big bowl of pork belly and Chinese cabbage.
The stewed chicken that Old Man Qi ordered, Old Mrs. Tian saw that the food was enough and decided to cook it tomorrow.
Good things cannot be created once and for all.
The staple food I made in the evening was steamed buns, which were served in a big box until they stood out.
There was a special extra dish at the men's table in the evening, and Ye Sanni ordered a plate of peanuts.
There is nothing to say about this, it is just a snack for men.
The Lao Qi family had a rule of not eating, talking or sleeping, and the three families of Song, Qi and Ye also lost this rule.
It has been cooked to perfection for a long time, and no one is restrained at the dinner table. There is a mouthful of steamed buns, a bite of meat, and laughter everywhere.
The men were still sitting and chatting after eating, drinking some wine and eating peanuts. These days were so bright.
There is hope.
The women put down their chopsticks after eating. They still had to deal with the remaining snake meat. In this weather, they couldn't let it go to waste.
"Mom, why don't you let Brother An take it to the city and sell it tomorrow?"
Mrs. Tian also had the same idea. She winked at Ye Sanni and said, "Then just pretend and let Anzi go into the city early tomorrow morning."
Ye Sanni immediately understood and went to get the meat in a bucket, "Mom, let our baby go to the city with her father tomorrow. We are short of everything at home."
"Okay, let Anzi take Guaiguai around for a walk. I didn't pay attention to Yong'an City when I came here. Let Guaiguai help me take a look first."
Qi Yue, who was washing dishes next to him, laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, there is no one to help look after this. You have to go to the city and take a closer look."
Anyway, it only happened for half an hour. We are at home, so you can go to the city with Anzi tomorrow."
Mrs. Tian immediately shook her head, "This can't be done. How can I walk away now? It's better to wait until everything is settled."
She also thought, what about Yong'an City? Why wouldn't she want to take a look?
The whole family has to eat and drink, so how can she walk away with peace of mind?
