Bai Banxia went to pick up the custom-made copper stove hot pot and hot pot. The blacksmith shop had already made them, and they were almost the same as the designs she drew.
"You can have hot pot tonight!" she said happily to Qi Zhen.
Qi Zhen laughed and said, "Food is the most important thing for the people. Just be happy with it."
Since she wanted to eat hot pot, she had to buy more ingredients. Bai Banxia took Qi Zhen to the vegetable market again and bought a lot of big bones and fat intestines. If Qi Zhen hadn't followed, it would have been difficult for her to carry them alone.
"Are you buying so much as a treat?" Qi Zhen asked.
"Everyone helped us today, and I didn't think of how to thank you. Why don't we cook some fattened pork sausages and send a bowl to each family for them to try," Bai Banxia said.
Qi Zhen grinned, showing his white teeth. The word "we" made him feel very good.
"I'll help you wash it," he said.
"Go back and wash together." Bai Banxia pulled him and quickened his pace. He almost caught up with everyone when they reached the village.
Bai Tian looked dissatisfied, "My dear, why did you go so long?"
Bai Banxia pointed to the things Qi Zhen was carrying, "We went to the vegetable market to buy more things, but we were exhausted."
"What did Banxia buy? Are you going to do some new food business?" Mrs. Zhao San asked curiously. She couldn't help but frown when she saw the pig intestines.
"I'll finish it later. Please give me your opinions." She said with a smile.
She was afraid that she would just offer it to everyone, but these simple neighbors would not accept it, so she simply asked them to help taste the food and needed their opinions.
Everyone agreed one after another.
When he returned to Bai's house, Bai Tian told his two elders about the villagers going to the town to help. The old man burst into tears and said to Bai Banxia: "Banxia, if you have the opportunity to repay your neighbors in the future, don't forget today."
of kindness.”
Bai Banxia nodded, "Grandpa, I made a note of it, and I will make some deboned pork sausages for everyone to try later."
The old man was very satisfied and said, "I feel much better now. Let's go and clean your colon."
"Then don't touch Miata, I'll go wash it." The old lady said with a look of disgust.
Bai Banxia took out another two cents and stuffed it into her, "Grandma, please rest and go buy some sweets."
The old lady quickly collected the money, but still went to help wash the fat intestines.
Today's volume was so large that almost all of the Bai family were dispatched. Even the second daughter-in-law and Sanlang came out to help. It was just that Sanlang was not serious about washing, so it would be nice if he didn't help.
"Sanlang, take a good bath, or I won't feed you at night." Bai Banxia said fiercely.
"Wash well, then wash well, no matter what you shout about." Sanlang muttered, but his movements became more careful. It seems that not eating meat is indeed quite a deterrent.
After that, Bai Banxia burned a few pieces of charcoal while burning the fat sausages, and then prepared the dipping sauce.
"Mom, wash the hot pot inside and out carefully several times. We will use it tonight." Bai Banxia arranged.
"Okay." Zhang Lingzhi is a true foodie. Although she doesn't know how to use this hot pot, she knows that she can definitely eat good food with her daughter, so she can't help but swallow her saliva just washing the hot pot.
In the evening, when the meat and intestines were cooked, Bai Banxia found a few empty bowls, filled several large bowls, and arranged for his father to deliver them to each house in person.
"Dad, we don't have enough bowls. Let's go deliver it to a few houses in the east of the village first and ask them to bring bowls to them. Then you take the bowls back and I'll fill them up for you and send them to the west of the village."
"okay!"
Bai Tian has been practicing martial arts very hard these days, and he is no longer unable to carry it on his shoulders or pick it up like before. He picked up the basket steadily with one hand and walked quickly towards the east of the village. After walking for a long time, he didn't even breathe.
.
In less than half an hour, Bai Tian sent a bowl of deboned pork sausage to each family that came to help today.
The first person to receive it ate all the deboned meat inside. It smelled really good!
After they finished eating, some people had the courage to try a piece of sausage. Oops, it smells good, and it tastes even better!
In the end, the family ate the whole bowl of vegetables, even the oil at the bottom of the bowl.
The second, third... the same was true for other people who received it. After the meal, they couldn't help but go out for a walk and chatted with each other.
"How is this Banxia dish made and why is it so delicious? I think this business will definitely work!"
"Who would have thought that large intestine can be used for cooking, and its strong taste goes well with rice. It's more flavorful than meat."
"I know how to make it, it doesn't have any weird smell, and it can handle a lot of oil."
Wang Taohua handed Ye Qin her handkerchief and ran to Wang's house to see her. She said excitedly: "You know, the Bai family gave my aunt a bowl of meat and vegetables, which included pig intestines. I took a bite and it turned out to be particularly delicious.
.”
She pointed to her collapsed little basket, "My aunt asked me to deliver some melon seeds she just roasted to the Bai family."
"Pig intestines?" Wang Taohua looked disdainful, "The business of Bai Banxia cannot continue, so everyone starts eating pigs?"
"I heard that their business was not affected. Today, many people from the village went to town to support their business, including my aunt." Ye Qin was a little unhappy. She thought it was delicious. Why don't you believe in the peach blossom?
"Haha, how can we support him every day? Sooner or later they will lose everything!" Wang Taohua's expression was ferocious. The three scratches on her face were only dark red marks, but it looked like they would definitely be scarred.
Ye Qin pouted, "It seems that their business is getting better. Let's not talk about it for now. I have to deliver the things, otherwise my aunt will scold her."
Not long after Ye Qin left, someone threw stones at Wang Taohua's back window. She quickly got up and opened the window with difficulty.
"How's the thing I asked you to do?" she asked.
"I haven't had a chance yet, and you didn't give me the delicious food you promised me." The visitor's eyes almost fell into her room, and he looked around for something to eat.
Wang Taohua gritted her teeth, took out an oil paper bag from her purse, "Take it and eat it."
The oil-paper package was opened, and inside were a few pieces of dry preserved apricots, but they were extremely rare in farmers' households. They couldn't even afford the meat. Who could be so prodigal as to buy preserved apricots for their children that were more expensive than sugar?
"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible." The person came and ran away with the preserved apricots.
On the Bai family's side, hot pots have been set up in a lively manner. Bai Banxia placed a copper plate, burned a few pieces of charcoal in it, and placed a copper stove hot pot on it.
The style of the pot is that of an authentic old Beijing copper stove hot pot, with high legs, a large fire chamber, and a deep but not "wide" pot body. It is characterized by fire-retention and fast boiling.
Bai Banxia made the soup base from the bone soup she had made before, and added scallions and ginger slices. The meat could be cooked as soon as the pot was opened.
Unfortunately, it was forbidden to eat beef at this time, and there was very little mutton. She bought some pork at the market and asked Qi Zhen to cut it into very thin slices and spread it on the plate.
The meat is too expensive, so I can only try it. There are a lot of other side dishes prepared, including a large piece of pig blood that the boss gave me when I bought the meat.
"It's time to eat! We're having hot pot today. Let's gather around the table and enjoy it," she shouted.
Everyone in the Bai family gathered in the main room, and Sanlang helped Baishui out.
"What's it like if men and women don't sit at separate tables?" Baishui said in a very disgraceful way.
