"What kind of deposit do you need for a brigade?" Old Mrs. Zhao smiled and waved her hands, "Just come and pick it up at six o'clock."
Lin Lan put the money back into his pocket and said politely: "I'll trouble you."
"No trouble!" The old lady thought for a while and then said, "Do you want the blood to be strong? If so, bring a basin to put it in when you get the duck." After saying this, she led Lin Lan in to see the duck blood.
Lin Lan followed her into the yard and saw rows of small pottery pots on the table, filled with solidified dark red duck blood. "Okay, leave two pots for me."
This is the authentic duck blood. Authentic native duck blood has a salty and cool taste, and has the functions of nourishing blood, clearing away heat and detoxifying. Xuewang can moisten the intestines and relieve constipation, and remove dust and impurities that enter the human body. It is known as the "human body scavenger".
Mrs. Zhao smiled and said: "My duck blood is not sold for money! We kill so many ducks every day, it would be a pity to lose the duck blood, so we made Xuewang and gave some to people who came to buy stewed vegetables."
"Thank you, Grandma Zhao." Lin Lan came out of Zhao's house and felt that people in the food business these days are really honest. I don't know when that changed.
With the improvement of material living conditions, everyone is blindly pursuing good-looking food. In order to cater to customers, businesses clearly know that eating it is harmful to the body, but for the sake of profit, they still pursue profits without conscience. They feel that their own family will be fine if they don't eat, but they don't know that others are like this too.

Li Xiangyang and Brother Yong went to the blacksmith's house to pick up the barbecue table and copper pot, and then went to Lin Lan's house.
Lin Changyou saw Li Xiangyang sitting in the back seat of Brother Yong's car carrying a table. He hurriedly stepped forward to help lift the table, placed it on the ground and looked at the hollowed out place in the middle of the table: "Why did you hollow out the middle?"
Li Xiangyang smiled and put the iron plate on the table, "Uncle Lin, it's for barbecue!" He took off the iron plate and put the copper pot on it, "Put the copper pot on and you can heat the hot pot."
Seeing Lin Changyou staring at the bottom of the table, Brother Yong lifted the table and said, "Uncle Lin, there is a charcoal stove below. Get some charcoal or briquettes and put them in it, so you can cook hot pot or barbecue."
Lin Changyou had already figured out the clue, smiled and nodded in praise: "You young people are still smart!"
He glanced at Brother Yong and saw the long scar on his face at a glance. He thought it looked a bit oozing at first glance. But after a closer look, he saw that he had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a high nose. He must have looked good before he was injured.
Seeing that he was looking at him without speaking, Brother Yong smiled nervously and said, "Uncle Lin, I was busy the past two days. I didn't know you were here, so I didn't come to see you in time."
Lin Changyou looked at him gently and said with a smile: "It's okay, don't worry about me, you young people can just do whatever they have to do. As long as you and Yuezhen live well in the future, we will be relieved."
He paused, pointed to the things that Brother Yong was carrying, and said sincerely, "It's not easy to make money. Don't buy these things in the future. If you come to see me, I will be happy."
"Okay! I remember." Brother Yong felt that the old couple of the Lin family was really rare. Those who had gone on a blind date in the past wished that he would buy more things. They would look down on him if he didn't buy one, and they would marry him before they even talked about it.
A lot of requests were made.
Lin Yuezhen happily brought tea and water, and was busy collecting the things brought by Li Xiangyang and Brother Yong into the house.
"Yue Zhen," Lin Changyou called to Lin Yuezhen, who was walking to the kitchen with things, and said with a smile, "Xiao Zhu is a nice person. You two will live a good life in the future."
Lin Yuezhen blushed and nodded, carrying her things to the kitchen.
Sitting on the eaves in the cold, Lin Changyou, Li Xiangyang and Brother Yong went to the main room to drink tea and talk.
Lin Changyou asked about the situation of Brother Yong's family, and learned that Brother Yong still had an older brother at home. The old house left to him by his stepmother when he left to serve in the army was also occupied by his brothers. He made a meritorious service and changed his career, and the government arranged for him to work in the joint defense team...
Lin Lan rode into the yard and saw Lin Changyou, Li Xiangyang and Brother Yong sitting in the main room drinking tea, and said with a smile: "When did you come?"
"Just arrived!" Li Xiangyang came out of the main room with a smile and pointed to the table on the eaves, "The table is ready, and I also made a copper basin. Let's make hot pot and eat it tonight!"
"Okay!" Lin Lan put the car away and walked forward, looking at the square hot pot table, "Not bad! Let's go to Shilian to chop wood and burn some charcoal to bring back, barbecue, and heat the hot pot."
Lin Changyou said cheerfully: "We have charcoal at home. Before the beginning of winter, your brother went to the mountains to cut down green charcoal trees and burned more than a dozen baskets of charcoal to keep on fire in the snowy weather."
The temperature in the mountains is lower than in the city, and it snows for most of the month.
"Then we don't need to make charcoal when we go back." Lin Lan looked at Li Xiangyang, "We will have hot pot in the afternoon. Without butter, we can only use big bones to stew the soup."
"I brought the tube bones and pig's trotters. Let's cook pig's trotters hot pot."
"Okay! The pig's trotters hot pot is good. You can take Uncle Li over when the stall is closed in the afternoon. Let's have hot pot tonight."
Li Xiangyang agreed with a smile. Seeing Brother Yong and Lin Changyou talking in the kitchen, he followed Lin Lan to the kitchen: "I asked Uncle Da to inquire about it. He said that he could get a mixer, grinder, oven, and baking soda."
Furnace thermometer, call Lao Chen and ask him not to ask."
Lin Lan turned her head and looked at him deeply, saying a thousand words into one sentence: "Thank you, Xiangyang!" She didn't expect that she just mentioned it, but he took it to heart.
"Fool!" Li Xiangyang smiled and rubbed her head, "I'll help you clean up the pig's hooves."
"Yeah!" Lin Lan nodded stupidly.
Li Xiangyang looked at her silly look, kissed her quickly on the cheek, then took the pig's trotters to the earthen stove and started to clean them up.
Lin Lan blushed and looked around. Seeing Lin Yuezhen in the backyard, she hurriedly took the bucket and fled to the vegetable patch.
Li Xiangyang watched her escape and smiled secretly.
Lin Lan arrived at the vegetable field, picked vegetables, and took a look at the vegetables in the field that could be used for hot pot?
White radish, lettuce, winter vegetables, spinach, cabbage, pea tips from the ground, some bean sprouts, potatoes, chopped meatballs, fried small crispy pork, tofu skin, soaked in dried mushrooms, tofu, and duck
Blood, red sweet potato powder...
Lin Lan suddenly discovered that there were quite a lot of vegetables. She pulled out a handful of celery and picked off the leaves. She also pulled out a few garlic sprouts and two rouge radishes. She went to the ditch to wash them before turning back to the kitchen.
Lin Lan checked the time, and Xiaodouzi would be back from school in a while.
She started cooking vegetables, fish-flavored shredded pork, boiled pork slices, shredded radish with rouge radish salad, and a pot of white radish. After mixing the water for dipping, the sound of little beans could be heard at the door.
"Mom, grandpa, I'm back!"
Lin Changyou came out of the main room and saw the wrinkles at the corners of his grandson's eyes turning into flowers: "You're back! Your mother is cooking. Uncle Xiang Yang brought pig trotters and said he would cook hot pot for dinner tonight."
"Hot pot?" Xiaodouzi looked at Lin Changyou curiously, "Grandpa, what is hot pot like and how to eat it?"
Lin Changyou said with a smile: "Just make a pot of vegetables, mix the water for dipping, and eat while cooking."
