Chapter 108 What's wrong with Xiao An?

Put oil in the pot, push in the minced ginger and garlic, and as the cold oil heats up, the aroma will gradually come out.

Then, pour in the quail pieces and quail giblets, set the quail eggs aside, and soak them in cold water for later use.

Stir fry quickly in the pot to let the quail pieces heat evenly, cover the pot and simmer for a while.

"Qing'er, your uncle Chang Geng, I told you, after he helps us plant rapeseed and wheat in the next two days, he and your Aunt Guihua will go back to Aunt Guihua's natal family."

Sun raised her head and discussed with Yang Ruoqing.

"What I mean is that when they return to their parents' house, they will catch the piglet. Aunt Guihua asked me to go with them. We will go back the same day. What do you think?"

Yang Ruoqing nodded happily: "Sure, it's better to go and choose by yourself."

"Qing'er, how many should we catch?" asked Sun.

"Three." Yang Ruoqing said.

"Is it difficult to feed three pigeons? Didn't you say two last time?" asked Sun.

Yang Ruoqing said: "I thought about it later and decided to raise three. Two males and one female."

"If you really want to raise three, then three sow piglets, right? I think the male piglets will be fine. If they grow fat later, they will have to be castrated. It will be troublesome!" said Sun.

Yang Ruoqing made no sound as she was lost in thought.

People in the Mianniu Mountain area raise pigs, mostly sows.

Sows can be sold for money, killed for meat, and can give birth to piglets in exchange for money.

Raise boars, mainly for castration.

It's better when the weather is colder, but when the weather is hot, the mouths of castrated pigs become ulcerated and filled with pus. This is how many boars die.

Don't castrate it. As the boar grows older, he will be thinking about other things all day long, and he won't gain weight just by eating!

Therefore, the price of female piglets in this area is higher than that of boars, but even so, people who raise pigs would rather catch female piglets.

"Mom, I've thought about it carefully. If we don't follow the trend, we'll catch two boars and one sow." Yang Ruoqing analyzed it carefully with Sun.

"One sow, let's keep her offspring and sell them for money. Two boars, one castrated, fattened and sold for money, or killed for the New Year. There is also a boar, we won't castrate it."

Sell ​​more but don’t kill!”

"Ah? What are you going to do with it?" Mrs. Sun looked puzzled.

"Let's raise it as a breeding pig!" Yang Ruoqing smiled and winked.

"In the eight villages ten miles away from Mianniu Mountain, the number of breeding pigs is less than five fingers, and they are all old and sick pigs that were not castrated. We then raised breeding pigs to breed with pigs in nearby villages.

, set a price, and as long as the pig doesn’t have any serious problems and lives for three to five years, we will not only get back our capital, but also make some profit!”

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's analysis, Sun's eyes also lit up.

She couldn't help but think of the old sow piglet from the old Yang family. When it was time to raise the piglets, the villages in Shiliba were struggling to find suitable adult piglets!

I was mated twice with the old and thin breeding pig from the next village, but I didn't get a match.

Later, I asked people everywhere to bring a pig from another village for breeding. This time, the pig was bred in one go, but the pig's seeds were not good.

The piglets born in that litter were not easy to feed, and several died of illness before they even came out of the nest.

That year, the old Yang family lost money raising sows. After that, the Tan family no longer raised pig girls. They only fattened the sows and sold them for money or killed them for meat.

"Qing'er, what a great idea. That is, if you want to raise three pigs at once, where will the pigsty be set up?" asked Sun again.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and pursed her lips toward the courtyard outside the kitchen: "Isn't there an open space next to my grandma's pigsty? We will build a pig's nest there and pull some fishing nets around it.

Come back, put in a bamboo fence and make a chicken pen."

"Sure!" Sun smiled and nodded.

At this time, the quail in the pot gave off a burning smell.

Yang Ruoqing quickly opened the lid of the pot and took a look. The quails were braised with grease, and the skin and meat on the surface were an attractive golden color.

Yang Ruoqing added a ladle of water to the pot, stirred it gently a few times, and then put the lid on the pot again.

I took a clean earthenware bowl, put salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and a little caramel into it, grabbed a handful of dried chili peppers, chopped them into pieces, and put them in. Finally, I kneaded a little more wheat flour and added some heat.

water, stir quickly with chopsticks.

"Qing'er, why are you putting all these condiments in a bowl?"

Mrs. Sun looked at Yang Ruoqing's movements with a puzzled look on her face.

Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and pretended to smile mysteriously: "Mom, I am making soup stock. The amount of each ingredient in it is very particular. This is my exclusive recipe. I won't tell other people!"

As he was talking, more white hot steam came out from the edge of the pot.

Yang Ruoqing quickly opened the lid of the pot and poured the prepared soup stock into the bowl.

Put the fifteen quail eggs in as well, stir gently to let the soup penetrate evenly, and then cover the pot with the lid.

When it comes out of the pot, the color of the quail becomes particularly beautiful and attractive, and the soup has successfully penetrated into it.

Yang Ruoqing sprinkled in the chopped green onions, put it in a bowl and started cooking.

While turning his head towards the outside of the kitchen, he shouted: "Daan, Xiaoan, come quickly..."

There was no movement outside.

"What's going on with these two boys? You won't even do anything nice like letting them taste food?"

Yang Ruoqing said, turning towards the door of the kitchen and taking a look outside.

This look startled her.

I saw Da'an carrying Xiao'an on his back, running towards the kitchen with a pale face in panic.

Xiao An's head was lying on Da An's shoulder. Yang Ruoqing did not see Xiao An's face, but she saw drops of blood dripping from Xiao An's face.

Part of it stuck to Daan's shoulder, turning red, and part of it fell to the ground.

So much so that Daan ran all the way over, leaving a trail of red blood drops behind him!

"Da'an, Xiaoan, what's going on?"

Yang Ruoqing shouted and ran over.

Daan's voice was crying, "Sister, Xiaoan's nose is bleeding a lot!"

"Don't panic, let's go inside first!"

The noise here alerted Mrs. Sun in the kitchen. When Mrs. Sun came out and saw this, she screamed in fright and almost fell to the ground.

After carrying Xiao An into the house, Lao Suntou, Yang Huazhong and Chang Geng were all shocked when they saw this!

"What's going on? What's going on? How did you become a brother, Da'an?"

Yang Huazhong was so anxious that he slapped the edge of the bed and almost slipped off the bed.

Old Sun Tou was so distressed that his old face was distorted. He grabbed the scissors that Sun used to make shoes at the foot of the bed and rushed out.

He was stopped by Chang Geng.

"Uncle Sun, don't be impulsive. You can't go after listening to Da'an's explanation of what's going on!"

Yang Ruoqing ordered Mrs. Sun to fetch a basin of hot water, rolled up her sleeves and quickly stopped Xiao An's bleeding.

Lao Suntou, Sun Changgeng and others gathered around.

Here, Yang Huazhong called Daan to the bedside, "What's going on? Don't cry, it will be faster!"

Daan raised his sleeves to wipe the tears from his eyes, and swallowed: "Dad, it was my sister-in-law who beat me..."

"What?" Yang Huazhong's eyes almost hit the ground.

"Isn't your sister-in-law staying with your second uncle in the town? Why are you back?" Yang Huazhong asked.

Yang Ruoqing had already given Xiao An a simple nose treatment, and Xiao An also woke up. Mrs. Sun held Xiao An in her arms and cried.

When Lao Suntou heard that the perpetrator was Yang Huazhong's sister, Yang Huamei, the old man did not rush out, but his face was as black as the bottom of a pot!

"We don't care how my sister came back. Da'an, don't panic. What's going on? Let's start from the beginning!" Yang Ruoqing wiped the blood from her hands and walked over and asked.

"Qinger, how is Xiaoan's nose?" Yang Huazhong asked again.

"Thank God the nose bone was not broken, but I had a lot of nosebleeds and suffered a lot!"
