Lin Xiaoman took a look at the ingredients prepared today. In addition to this big pig, there were also two chickens and a few fish.

After the pig was killed, Lin Xiaoman went over to watch people cut the pork, leaving the meat on the pork ribs. She wanted to make a sweet and sour pork ribs.

They also asked people to take the pig intestines and clean them with plant ash, fill the small intestines with pig blood, and fry the fat intestines or stew them.

Pig hearts, lungs, pork belly, and liver were all put aside and not fed to the dogs who had been squatting outside the hospital waiting to be fed.

After cleaning up, according to Lin Xiaoman's request, put the pork belly and big bones into a large pot to cook, and put the pig head, pork knuckles and trotters into another large pot to cook.

After the pork and pork bones are cooked, Lin Xiaoman shreds the sauerkraut, washes it with water, and puts it into a large pot for cooking meat.

People in the village had never seen sauerkraut before. It looked like the weeds they grew, but it was different. When Lin Xiaoman said it was pickled from weeds, everyone was thinking that if it tasted delicious, they would ask Xiaoman to teach them.

How to pickle it? Otherwise, in winter, it will be difficult to have two meals a day of cabbage, radish and tofu.

It was already dusk when the pig-killing dishes were prepared. Looking at the meat and vegetables on the table, the people who stayed in the village gathered around the courtyard of the patriarch’s house.

It's just that the county magistrate is at the patriarch's house, so they don't dare to come in.

Lu Jin has been a meticulous snacker since, but this was the first time he saw a pig being cooked. He was inevitably a little disappointed. How fragrant a pig would be if cooked in a big pot

Even if Lin Xiaoman cooked it himself, it would still be boiled meat in salt water.

Just smelling the aroma of meat and stewed sauerkraut in the air, he couldn't help but want to drool: Does real delicacy only require simple cooking methods?

Lin Daqiang has rushed back from the county seat and is staying with Lu Jin looking for words. It has only been a few days since the last time the county magistrate came to the village. No matter how great the changes are in the village, there are only a few things he can talk about.

We can't talk back and forth.

When Lin Dawu came in and said that the wine and food were ready, Lin Daqiang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sir, take your seats now."

Lu Jin nodded implicitly and followed Lin Daqiang to the main room.

The big table in the main room has been set up, but it is empty.

As soon as we sat down, someone was placing dishes one after another. Each dish was given a name: Guobao Pork, Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs, Braised Sausage, Vinegar Braised Cabbage, Spicy Chicken Nuggets, Steamed Crucian Carp, Sauced Pork Bones.

……

Lu Jin raised his eyebrows slightly: Lin Xiaoman actually didn't deal with him, and actually cooked these delicious-looking dishes for him.

But he could tell that most of these dishes were made of pork, but they were all new to him.

When the last stewed sauerkraut was served, several large bone sticks could be seen in the finely shredded sauerkraut, as well as some blood sausage said to be made from pig blood.

To be honest, it doesn’t look good, I just don’t know how it tastes.

Lin Daqiang and Lin Youwang observed Lu Jin's expression and saw that he was expressionless and could not tell that he was happy, but fortunately he was not unhappy either. They felt relieved. They had confidence in Xiaoman's cooking skills, but they were afraid of this little man.

You adults are so naughty.

Fortunately, after taking the table, Lu Jin did not comment, but he kept using his chopsticks, obviously he was happy with his meal.

As a result, the two of them put their hearts back into their stomachs and began to taste the delicious food.

After tasting this, they were all shocked by Lin Xiaoman's cooking skills. Where did this little girl learn to cook such dishes? Her mother had never seen her cook them before. Is she really better than her master?

After eating in the house, a big pot was set up outside the courtyard, and the remaining pork was made into vegetables. If the meat was not enough for the whole village, more cabbage was added. Every household brought their own basin or bucket to receive the vegetables.

A person is worth a spoonful of vegetables.

Everyone in the village is beaming with joy. Hedong Village is poor, and it was many years ago that we received pig-killing vegetables during the Chinese New Year. Now we can get vegetables even if it is not a festival, which shows that the clan has really made money.

It’s also thanks to the county magistrate. I heard that they can still eat well when the magistrate pays for meals. I really hope that the magistrate will come more often.

The people in the east of the village happily received the dishes of slaughtered pigs, and some people who lived in the west of the village also received them and took them back to eat.

The aroma of the food wafted far away, and the exiled prisoners living in the west of the village began to swallow their saliva when they smelled it.

But after walking more than 2,000 miles from the capital to Qingping County, I endured the hardships on the road. However, the family that used to be so close and affectionate had long since separated due to calculations and quarrels, and no one was willing to take out the money.

Satisfy other people's cravings.

For a while, the child was so greedy that he cried, and the crying upset the adults. He was beaten and then cried again. The woman complained and the man scolded, creating a quarrel.

The people of Hedong Village in the west of the village shook their heads when they heard this. These people are really annoying. Ever since they came here, they have been fighting and making trouble every day, making it difficult for people to even have a rest.

Hurry up and finish the work and drive everyone away.

Lin Xiaoman finished cooking and walked back with Lin Erhu carrying the meat and vegetables their family had received.

She didn't ask for the pork stewed with cabbage, but took some cooked pig intestines, tripe, liver, and lungs, and wanted to go back to make braised pork. She also asked for two leg bones, and took them back to make milk soup for He Tiantian.

When I walked to the west of the village, I was startled by the noise here and asked, "What's going on?"

Lin Erhu sighed: "Sister, you haven't been at home much these days. Maybe you don't know that since they came, the first two days were fine. These days, they have been noisy and troubled every day. Our homes are quite far away.

There is no peace."

Lin Xiaoman frowned, "After all, we were all officials in the past, so why are we worse than the old ladies in the country?"

Lin Erhu shrugged, "It's already like this, I don't even care about face."

Suddenly, a cry for help came from the front: "Help, someone has fallen into the water."

When Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu heard the words, they ran in the direction of the sound.

When I got to the river, I saw a little girl jumping up and down in a hurry. When I saw Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu coming over, the light in my eyes dimmed, and I shouted for help again.

Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu don't know how to swim. Looking at the people splashing in the water, they are not far from the shore. They can pull them out with a stick.

So, Lin Xiaoman put down the pot in his hand, went to the tree and pulled out a branch toward the water.

The people splashing in the side water didn't know whether they were confused or really didn't see it. Instead, they floated towards the river.

Lin Xiaoman was anxious, "Stop flopping around, grab the branches quickly, and I'll pull you up." The person in the water floated deeper again.

Lin Erhu pulled Lin Xiaoman, "Sister, I don't think she is drowning. Isn't the river in our village that deep?"

Lin Xiaoman has never been to the river, but in the summer many boys in the village go to the river to swim, and no one has ever heard anything about how deep the river is and how it can flood people's heads

Lin Xiaoman handed the branch inward again, "If you don't come up, I can leave."

The people in the river simply turned their backs, and the person calling for help on the bank advised: "You two don't know how to swim, so don't show off here. You'd better hurry up and call someone who can swim."

Lin Xiaoman sneered, "The people in our village who know water are all men, you really want me to call someone"
