"So you've heard about beef?" Mrs. Lu asked happily, "Why don't you go quickly! Many places only have morning markets. After the stalls are closed, there is no place to buy."
"Don't worry." Lu Chixiao took the towel handed by the child's mother, wiped his face, raised his arm and smelled it. There was a fishy smell. Forget it, don't wipe it, just take a shower later.
They would pick up the beef and trade it on the shore."
"Is this okay?"
"Why not?" Lu Chixiao raised an eyebrow, "I asked them to buy a whole head of yellow beef."
Here are the big customers! Not to mention just transporting it to the shore for trading, they would be happy to have it cleaned up and picked up on the yacht.
"...You're a pig!" Mrs. Lu was stunned for a long time, then came to her senses and raised her hand to pat him, "I just went out today, the cold storage is still full, where are you going to stuff a whole head of yellow beef? Are you going to let it sleep on your bed?
?”
"..."
Lu Chixiao turned to look at the child's mother.
Xu Suizhu nodded helplessly, the cold storage was indeed very full. And who would have thought that Baozi Daddy would buy a whole head of yellow beef? Haha!
"Why did you ask me and my second brother to pick seafood when it was so full?" Lu Zhanfeng said, "We thought we didn't bring much food, and Doudou likes beef, so we bought one."
"There isn't much seafood, but there are other things." Mrs. Lu couldn't help scolding her wife, "Otherwise, where do you think the steamed buns and steamed buns you ate in the morning came from? The drunken shrimps, bad chicken, and old duck that were all off your tongue last night
Where did the claypot come from? Aren’t they always prepared in advance and stored in the cold storage? How could it have fallen from the sky?”
"..."
Got it! I misunderstood the bird!
What should we do now? You two, look at me, and I’ll look at you.
For a long time——
"Actually, it's easy to do." Lu Chixiao rubbed his chin and came up with an idea, "It's said to be a whole head, but it's all ready. When the time comes, the head will be stewed directly on the shore. Please help the master to eat it together. I heard them say that the neck
The meat is dry and firm, with some tendons. It’s best to make beef balls. It’s better to pay them to make them into meatballs and freeze the other parts in the cold storage. I’ll ask the nearby fishery to buy some ice cubes for the food I freed up in the cold storage.
Eat it as soon as possible during the day, and you can replenish it along the way later..."
The price has been negotiated, and the other party has gone to transport the beef. It doesn't seem good to go back on it at this time.
After much deliberation, this method seems to be more appropriate.
So, Lu Chixiao went to the fishery to buy ice cubes, and Xu Suizhu and her mother-in-law opened the cold storage to select food that could be stored for a day or two even after taking it out, so as to make room for yellow beef.
Lu Zhanfeng was sitting on the deck, cooking the seafood he bought today.
Chen Wanyu didn't wait until her husband, who had gone back to catch up on his sleep after watching the night, fell asleep, then gently removed the big palm that was around her waist, stood up gently, and joined in to help.
Xiao Wu led the children who woke up one after another out of the inner cabin.
Seeing that the adults were all busy and did not even mention taking them ashore to play, Little Baozi became anxious: "Mom, when will we go ashore?"
He held the opera turtle in his arms and couldn't wait to get off the boat to play.
"In a while." Xu Suizhu replied while making room for the cold storage, "When your father comes back, I will take you ashore. We will stew beef on the shore at noon. Do you like it?"
"Really?"
When he heard that there was beef to eat, the little guy was happy. He no longer cared about what the adults said, and squatted on the deck with his cheeks in his hands to watch Mr. Lu kill fish and pry scallops.
At this time, Lu Chixiao came back with good news: "I have negotiated with the nearby fishery. We will pay and they will work to help us make beef neck meat into beef balls. They will also provide gas tanks and cauldrons.
Help us stew beef head soup..."
"The relationship is great!" Mrs. Lu breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Where are the ice cubes?"
"It will be shipped to you shortly."
Money makes things easier.
After a while, the owner of the fishery and his workers brought two large ice bricks over. He asked politely if they were enough, and if they were not enough, he asked people to put up the stoves and pull over the gas tanks.
I heard that there was beef soup, and workers and fishermen who couldn't get out of the boat came to help. Who wouldn't be happy if they could exchange their efforts for a meal of beef head?
So, when the butcher pushed a cart of freshly slaughtered and chopped beef to the shore, the water in the cauldron was boiling.
Seeing that Lu Chixiao didn't look like an ordinary merchant, the owner of the fishery enthusiastically carried a box of beer over and said, "How can you eat beef head without drinking alcohol? He's here to buy the wine."
After checking the beef, Lu Chixiao made sure it was fresh, disease-free, and not water-injected as the child's mother said. He weighed and paid without hesitation. He handed over the head to the master who was good at stewing, the neck meat to the worker who was good at making meatballs, and the rest.
The meat was loaded onto the yacht.
"This master who cuts the beef is really good! Every piece of meat is decomposed cleanly and refreshingly." Mrs. Lu repeatedly praised, "Beef tendon, brisket, rump, tenderloin...the quality of yellow beef is really good!"
Xu Suizhu couldn't help but nod.
I think compared with the water-injected beef of later generations, this yellow beef is the best among cattle!
And because you buy it by the whole head, it’s similar to wholesale, and the price is affordable. Dad Baozi really did something right!
Seeing that the child's mother was satisfied, Lu Chixiao smiled and said, "I'll ask her for a reward tonight."
On the shore, blanch the beef head meat in water to wash away the foam, add the aniseed ingredients and stew it.
Beef neck meat is also beaten into pulp by knowledgeable fishery workers using special iron rods with both hands to make meatballs.
Little Baozi and several children gathered around to watch the fun.
The thought of having chewy beef balls to eat and fragrant cow head soup to drink soon made his face flush with excitement. Little Baozi was especially enthusiastic. He clapped his hands and applauded the workers and shouted: "Come on, uncle! Come on, uncle!"
The workers were already happy - the factory does not deduct wages and they can get a few extra bucks here. Now they are even more happy listening to the children's childish words. They are swinging the two sticks vigorously and beating the meat pulp.
.The onlookers roared and cheered.
The lively scene attracted many passers-by. At first, I thought someone was hosting a happy event. After stopping to ask, I found out that someone bought a whole head of beef, rewarded the helper with the head, and paid the workers to make meatballs.
.
Darling! A whole cow? So rich!
Having said that, you can’t buy such a magnificent yacht without money!
"Give it! Give it!"
The shrewd fishery owner saw that Lu Chixiao didn't look like an ordinary merchant and his accent was from the north. He guessed that he was a noble man from a wealthy family. He thought that there were only advantages and no disadvantages in getting close to him, so he diligently brought a box of beer and said, "Where are you going to eat beef head?"
Why don't you drink? I'll treat you to this drink today!"
Lu Chixiao smiled and cupped his hands to express his thanks.
They really didn't bring any beer when they went out this time. They did have some health wine made by the mother herself.
The main reason is that my brother is preparing for pregnancy and has not drank alcohol for half a year; the old man found the beer too bland and boring; Xiao Wu and Xiao Xu, as competent bodyguards, have never drank alcohol; he alone would not have thought of bringing beer as a drink.
Today, in a foreign country, I was lucky enough to have a bottle of stewed beef head.
