Rushing to the sea: I can see the prompts

Chapter 98

In the afternoon, the boat owned by Zhang Yaohua's family was finally sold for 2 yuan cheaper than before.

It's not that easy for Shui Wang's family. The price they offered was extremely low. Ah Hui was so angry that he stopped talking and was willing to let it rust without selling it. It was too much to bully others.

"Keep it for now. If you have a small boat, you can go around the nearby waters when you have free time." Ah Hui said to Zhang Yaohua.

"By the way, where's Ah Jiu?" he asked again.

Zhang Yaohua: "Going to pick up his friend."

"Arrived too?"

"Yeah! I'm waiting in town!"

About half an hour later, Ah Jiu came back with a spirited young man named Huang Jiaqiang, who was also carrying a bucket, as if he was working in a factory.

To be honest, his original plan was to go to Foshan to work screws for two or three months after cutting down the sugar cane to earn some wages during the New Year.But since Ah Jiu strongly invited him to be a boatman, he came over.

At first, he didn't even know how much he would get paid as a boatman, and he wondered where he could go without working.

Only later did his friend tell him about his treatment, and he told his family directly that he would not be managing sugar cane at home next year.

Silly?

The basic salary is 8000 yuan, which almost includes food and accommodation. Where can I find such a job?As for being a boatman being a hard worker, what is there to do as a part-time worker that is not hard?

There wasn't much choice at all.

"He is my uncle, please call me Brother Hua! This is Brother Hui, and..."

The young man greeted each one quickly: "Hello, Brother Hua, Hello, Brother Hui... Just call me Qiangzi."

"Okay! Qiangzi, we will be brothers on the same boat from now on." Zhang Yaohua patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother, we're eating dog meat tonight. Qiangzi brought a slaughtered dog. Brother Hui, you guys can come and eat too!" Ah Jiu said.

Ok?Good guy!
Guangxi is indeed famous for its dog meat, and I heard there is a special dog meat festival.

"Come together! Let's get together on the same boat." Zhang Yaohua suggested.

Ah Fai: "Okay! Me, Shui Wang and my cousin will come over to help later."

The dog meat rolls around, and the immortal cannot stand still!
They are all dog meat eaters.

It just so happens that the weather is cold now, which is a good time to eat dog meat.

Zhang Yaohua's mother arranged for Ah Jiu's friend to stay, and there happened to be only the last room left. It was a bit messy with clutter, and a mosquito net had to be hung.

In Guangdong, no matter what month or weather, there are still mosquitoes.There is no mosquito net, just wait to be bitten!
Compared with being bitten, Zhang Yaohua is more annoyed by the feeling of mosquitoes flying around his ears.

"Auntie! Okay, okay, I'll do it myself." Qiangzi shouted quickly.

Zhang Yaowei chopped the dog meat into pieces and prepared various ingredients.Ginger, bay leaf, star anise, tangerine peel, cinnamon, grass fruit, etc.

Not long after, Ah Hui brought Shui Wang and Cheng Rongguang over to help and started a fire.

Although we eat dog meat in the evening, we still have to make something else to eat at home.Children like Zhang Yuanhang and Xuanxuan cannot eat dog meat.

Zhang Yaohua was not allowed to eat until he was in junior high school.

In addition to children, there are some people who are conflicted with it, have some taboos, and seem to be unable to eat it.

In short, there are sometimes more taboo things in the countryside.Regardless of whether it is superstitious or not, it is better to believe in it. You can't really cause problems for yourself just for the sake of those two bites.

Ah Jiu is still the one who cooks dog meat.

"Is there any Goudou?" Ah Jiu asked. "I know who has it. I'll go get some." Zhang Yaowei said.

Neither his family nor Shuiwang's family grows that kind of beans, but some people do so in the village.

Dog beans are not uncommon in the south, but you must be careful when eating them because they are poisonous. Like cassava, they must be cooked and soaked.

The correct way is to boil the beans with the skins on for 5-6 minutes, then take them out and put them in cold water to cool down, peel off the outer layer of bean skins, and then put the peeled bean pods and bean kernels together in cold water for 1-2 days. .The water needs to be changed several times in between, and it cannot be left in the sun, otherwise it will easily deteriorate.

It is also quite good to use it to stew dog meat.

"Do you still grow kudzu at home?" Ah Hui said in surprise when he saw Zhang Yaohua peeling kudzu again.

Kudzu is what they call it here. In some places it is called cold potato. You can eat it as a fruit by tearing off the skin. It is slightly sweet and crispy.When I was a kid, if anyone in the village planted this, I would be sure it wouldn't grow big.

"Do you want to eat it? Qiangzi brought it." Zhang Yaohua asked him.

"Come on, I haven't eaten this for a long time. Some people actually call this thing sweet potato. I was confused when I was delivering the takeaway." Ah Hui said.

Zhang Yaohua peeled the skin off and gave it to Ah Hui.

"Sweet potatoes? Sweet potatoes are sweet potatoes, right?"

Ah Hui nodded: "Yes! I have always been a sweet potato and called it sweet potato."

Zhang Yuanhang led three little ones over and wanted to eat too.

Zhang Yaohua had no choice but to give each of Xuanxuan, Yongzi, and Jinsheng a small piece.Children should not eat too much. Since it is called cold potato, it means it must be cold in nature. It is not good for children to eat too much, especially if it is eaten raw, it may cause diarrhea.

"This thing is better after speculation." Qiangzi reminded.

"It's okay, just eat half a piece."

Over at Ah Jiu, the dog meat is getting ready to be cooked.There is no need to rush, it has to be simmered slowly, and the flavor must be absorbed to make it delicious.

He asked: "Would you like to keep some free cuts?"

what?
"Can dog meat be cut for free?" Cheng Rongguang was shocked.

He knows about plain-cut chicken. Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan both like to eat it, but plain-cut dog!There are really people who haven’t heard of it.

"Brother Rongguang doesn't know how to eat Leizhou? I've tasted it, and it's pretty good." Ah Jiu said.

Zhang Yaohua: "Better say goodbye! The sauce is very particular. If you don't get the sauce right, it will be useless if you cut it plain."

He has also eaten it, but he is still a little bit unaccustomed to it.People who like to eat it will find it delicious. Just like raw pickled food, there are always fans.

Because the dog meat was stewed in the stove outside the house, after half an hour, the aroma began to spread to all parts of the village.Some people are also greedy and think about buying a dog to eat in this weather.
People always have some emotions, so they rarely kill their own animals. They can sell them to others to kill.

Of course, there will definitely be people who don't care.You can kill your own chickens, ducks, pigs, and even cows for meat, but not dogs?Are dogs nobler than other poultry and domestic animals?
Zhang Yaohua went to call his uncle and others over for dinner.

From Grandpa’s teeth, the dog meat can only be smelled.Besides, grandpa doesn’t like eating dog meat, so he can only share the table with the children.

The old man was quite happy with it. His great-grandson and great-granddaughter were surrounding him, and they were all picking up food for him!
"Eat what you have! If your grandpa doesn't want to eat that, sit still for me." Mother Zhang said.Then, give the old man his favorite dish.

The old man smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth: "Eat, you can eat anything."

The great-grandson and great-granddaughter pinched it, even if it was a bone, it would take two bites!

The two pregnant women, Xiaomei and Azhen, naturally have to be careful not to eat dog meat.

Dog meat is hot.

Zhang Yaohua's father, uncle, and Uncle Chen toasted each other while talking about recent events in the village.
