Fu Beimo's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Ali, your head has never been injured before. It's really better than mine."
"It's just so-so." Ali said, "Beimo, if your head hadn't been smashed, you would have been a very smart person, as smart as the Master."
Fu Beimo suddenly asked seriously: "How to give birth to a child?"
Ali scratched the back of his head. He had just been praised by him for using his head, but the next question stumped him.
"I do not know either!"
Fu Beimo laughed at him: "Ali, you are quite stupid too."
Ali thought for a moment and lowered his voice: "Master is smart, he knows."
Fu Beimo nodded: "What you said makes sense."
On the other side, when Yan Funing arrived at Li's house at the entrance of the village, Li Xinheng was putting the reins on the cow.
There are already villagers waiting to ride the bullock cart.
"Brother Li." Yan Fu called out.
Li Xinheng turned around and said, "Girl, are you going to town today?"
Yan Funing shook her head and handed him a piece of pork belly she was carrying: "My husband asked me to deliver it."
Li Xinheng declined: "I can't accept this."
Logically speaking, if he became a disciple, he would have to give gifts to his master.
After eating so much food from the Master's house last night, how could he be so embarrassed to eat meat today? The villagers waiting for the bus were envious when they saw this.
Someone said bitterly: "Driving Li, I have too much meat to eat, so just take it."
Someone laughed and shouted: "If you don't want it, there are plenty of people who want it."
Mother Li in the room heard the sound and came out. Seeing Yan Funing carrying a piece of meat, she insisted on her son taking it, so she stepped forward and asked, "Girl, what is this?"
"Auntie, it's like this. My husband heard that the wine he drank last night was left by Brother Li's father. He drank such precious wine, which made my husband feel bad. Now he is going to the village school, so he asked me to deliver a piece of meat."
Yan Funing handed the meat to Mother Li.
"We still have wine at home. His father planned to hold a wedding banquet for his son. Who knew that his son could not find a wife, so he kept the wine, but his father is gone."
Having said this, Mother Li's eyes instantly filled with tears.
"Then we should accept it." Yan Funing hung the straw knot knotted on the flesh on Mother Li's finger.
Mother Li said happily: "Although our family raises pigs, we can't eat meat more than once a year."
The pigs had to be sold for money, and she had to save the money to find a wife for her son.
There is no extra money to buy meat.
She was so happy to see the good pork belly! "Mom, Master helped me get the cow back, gave me such a nice name, and taught me kung fu." Li Xinheng came over, "We shouldn't accept this meat!"
Mother Li looked at the meat with great reluctance.
The villagers nearby swallowed their saliva one after another.
Pork belly is alternately fat and lean, but it’s such good meat!
When cooking, cut a few slices, and the taste will be unique to the Chinese New Year.
Such a piece of meat weighs at least three kilograms, and is worth a lot of money! Li Xinheng said to his mother: "Mom, my master taught me Kung Fu, and he is my master in my heart. I haven't even given the apprenticeship ceremony, how can I accept the master's gift?"
With that said, he took the meat from his mother's hand and wanted to return it to Yan Funing.
Yan Funing declined: "It's Master's wish to bring you meat. Since you regard Master as your master, and Master has orders, don't you obey it?"
Li Xinheng was stunned: "This..."
"You can accept it with peace of mind." Yan Funing smiled, "I'll be back soon, you go ahead and get busy."
She waved her hand and left briskly.
The Li family's mother and son looked at each other with tears in their eyes.
At this time, Hu Ajing and Mei Xiang came to take a ride.
The two of them passed by Yan Funing, and when they turned their eyes and saw the pork belly in the hand of the driver Li, they couldn't help but wonder.
Hu Ajing asked the villagers: "Meat sent by Wan Niang's daughter-in-law?"
The villager sneered: "She is the one who sent it. She really doesn't know how to live. Her hands are so loose and she can give away a good piece of meat easily."
Mother Li glanced at them and said to Yan Funing's back: "What a good girl, what a good wife!" Then she took the meat from her son's hand, walked it to the villagers waiting for the bus, and turned to her son: " From now on, when Wan Niang and her family come to ride the bullock cart, you can’t charge them fares!”
Li Xinheng nodded: "I had this plan last night."
Mei Xiang was surprised: "Aunt Li, how come Wanniang's daughter-in-law brings meat to your family?"
She also wants to eat.
Not only did she want it, she believed Hu Ajing also wanted to eat it.
Mother Li smiled: "Because we didn't occupy other people's yards, we didn't plant their fields, and we didn't gossip behind their backs."
Those words made everyone look at Hu Ajing.
Hu Ajing lowered her eyebrows, her face turned green and white, and she couldn't retort for a while.
Although everyone knew it well, once she refuted it, it would be equivalent to admitting that the Hu family had done evil things. - Near noon, Yan Funing cut off the remaining pig heart and tongue, put some of them on the same plate.
I filled a plate with cabbage and fried oyster mushrooms, cut half an apple and put it on a small plate. I also filled a bowl of rice and put it into the food box together.
Ask Fu Beimo and Ali to send them to Fu Ciyi.
Fu Beimo took it and said goodbye to Ali with a smile.
The two of them had normal smiles and seemed to mean something, but Yan Funing didn't understand what these two guys were doing.
I had no choice but to tell them: "Go back quickly and don't play around on the road."
"Understood, sister-in-law."
The two quickly left the yard and walked away.
Yan Funing shook her head and called Fu Nanyao to come over and light the fire.
When the pot is hot, she stir-fries the salt, bay leaves, star anise, and Sichuan peppercorns until the aroma explodes, then takes it out to cool and set aside.
"Okay, no need to light the fire."
Fu Nanyao: "I thought you still wanted to roast meat."
"The meat will be cooked later, and now I'm going to make bacon and bacon."
Yan Funing took out two jars, took six strips of fresh pork belly, and spread wine on the meat.
After the salt cooled, she spread it evenly.
Three of them were put directly into the jar to marinate, and some soy sauce was added to the remaining three.
Fu Nanyao said: "I understand, the one without soy sauce is bacon, and the one with soy sauce is bacon."
"There's not enough seasoning. It's just made as simple as that, and I don't know how it tastes."
Yan Funing spread the soy sauce on the meat evenly and put it into the jar.
Another hour after burning incense, Fu Beimo and Ali came back.
During lunch, Ali said, "Master said he would bring the walnuts back himself."
Yan Funing nodded.
In the evening, Fu Ciyi returned.
He placed the six hard walnuts he picked out in the west wing, then carried the food box and basket into the kitchen.
In the kitchen at the moment, Fu Nanyao was lighting the fire, Ali was washing the dishes, and Yan Funing was cooking.
Seeing him come back, Yan Funing said: "We can eat after this dish is cooked."
"Okay." Fu Ciyi slowly scooped water and washed his hands.
Seeing that his brother was finally back, Fu Beimo jumped to the door of the kitchen and shouted excitedly: "Brother, please have a baby with your sister-in-law!"
Yan Funing shook her hand: "..."
Fu Ciyi frowned and looked sideways: "Huh?"
"I want my nephew to call me uncle." Fu Beimo saw that his brother looked wrong, and quickly pointed at Ali and muttered, "What Ali said, he said that you are a smart wife and know how to have children!"
