Chapter 57 Eating Big Pot Rice (1)
Since Lu Xiaoxiao was the last one in line, when it was her turn, there was no meat left, except for some lean meat and bones, only pig’s trotters and pig’s head, so she asked the team leader if she wanted pig’s trotters and ribs.
The captain looked at Lu Xiaoxiao in surprise after hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words: "Don't you want meat? Although it's not fat, it's better than pork ribs without much meat."
After hearing the captain's words, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but rejoiced in her heart that she didn't have fat meat. She had never eaten wild boar meat. If she shared the fat meat, how would she eat it? She never ate fat meat.
Although Lu Xiaoxiao thinks so mentally, she can't say that, otherwise she will definitely be regarded as a crazy person. There are still people who don't like big fat meat these days.
"Captain, I'm not thinking that when everyone eats a big pot of rice later, it won't be all bones. Adding more meat will make everyone eat delicious, and now that I'm growing up, it's just right for me to cook soup with bones."
The captains, the accountant, and the butcher all thought that this child was a good one when they heard Lu Xiaoxiao's words. Soon after she came to the village, she could think of the villagers mentally, and they couldn't let their children suffer.
So after their discussion, they gave Lu Xiaoxiao four pig's trotters and two large ribs. They still felt that Lu Xiaoxiao was at a disadvantage because these two things seemed too much to hold up. Many people in the village thought that this kid was a fool when they saw it. They wanted bones instead of flesh.
If Lu Xiaoxiao knew what they thought, she would definitely say that I am not at a disadvantage, and I am not stupid. You must know that these things are much more expensive than meat in later generations.
Lu Xiaoxiao asked the butcher to chop a rib and two pig's trotters into pieces for her to make soup, and she planned to make the other ribs and two pig's trotters into salty meat for stewing radishes and cooking hot pot. It couldn't be better.
Seeing so many pork ribs, Lu Xiaoxiao was still thinking about how to take them home, when she saw Aunt Cauliflower walking towards her from a distance with a basket on her back.
Aunt Cauliflower walked up to Lu Xiaoxiao and said, "I knew you didn't bring anything to pack the meat, so I came back with a basket to look for you as soon as I brought the meat home."
Lu Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly after hearing Aunt Caihua's words: "Thank you Aunt, you are still thoughtful, otherwise I really don't know how to take the meat home."
When Aunt Cauliflower helped Lu Xiaoxiao carry the pig's trotters and ribs to Lu Xiaoxiao's home, she asked Lu Xiaoxiao, "Why do you want bones and not meat, even though it is lean meat, it is better than bones OK."
Lu Xiaoxiao heard Aunt Caihua's words and said: "I heard from doctors in the city that drinking bone soup is good for your health and you will grow taller, so it is just right for me at this age."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Aunt Cauliflower thought that there was another way to say it. It seems that in the future, I can buy bone stew soup for my grandson at home. Anyway, bones are cheap and I don’t need a ticket. No matter whether it is as good as the doctor said, it’s good to stew anyway. The soup that came out was meaty.
When Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at home, she put the bones in a basin, and she took the bowls and chopsticks and the cauliflower aunt to the grain drying yard to wait for the big pot meal.
When she arrived at the grain drying field, Lu Xiaoxiao saw dozens of aunts busy in full swing around the ten cauldrons set up, and many children circled around them in groups, sucking their mouths from time to time. They chatted in groups of three or four, and she felt very warm seeing such a scene.
After about half an hour, when Lu Xiaoxiao was chatting with Aunt Caihua and her daughter-in-law, she suddenly heard the sound of dinner being served, and before she could react, she felt as if thousands of horses were galloping past her, and the people in the sun-drying field Everyone ran in the direction of the ten cauldrons, and Aunt Caihua also dragged her to the cauldron with a masked face.
