Goldfield
Chapter 82: New Flavors

Although he was greedy, he also knew that the Shitou family did not have an easy life. Meat was expensive and if they felt it was too precious to eat, what would it mean if he interfered in this?

However, Little Shitou grabbed his hand and pulled him into the kitchen enthusiastically. The little boy pointed to the hot boiled pork head meat that had just come out of the pot and smiled, “Coming early can't beat coming at the right time! Come, try a little talent my second sister.. ”.

Actually, Little Shitou was being sneaky. He wanted Qian Wu to be the first guinea pig. After all, whenever he thought of the appearance of a pig head before boiling, he felt a little afraid to try it.

Boiled pork head meat is reddish red and has an alluring smell. The meat looks tender and tasty, fatty without being greasy, and has all the qualities needed to arouse the hunger and longing of any customer.

Xiaocao seemed to have grasped Little Shitou's plan and smiled understandingly at her. He cut a small piece of pork head meat from a corner and stuffed it into Qian Wu's mouth before he could say anything.

As soon as it reached his mouth, an explosion of savory taste and wealth occurred. It was so delicious that Qian Wu almost cried in joy. It tastes too good !! He had never, in his entire life, eaten this delicious meat !! Xiaocao's cooking talent should be better than his mother's ability by at least a hundredfold. It would be perfect if she was his little sister. Then he could often feel the fruits of his talent.

Little Shitou stared intently at the many expressions that crossed Qian Wu's face and excitedly asked, “How? Does it taste good? Is there a strange taste? ”

Qian Wu forcefully grabbed Little Shitou's hand, held back the tears of happiness in her eyes, and replied solemnly, “Shitou, the two of us should exchange lives! You can be my mother's child. Didn't you always want to have a sister, right? I have a little sister waiting for you at home! I, instead, will go to your family and become Xiaocao's younger brother. ”.

Several imaginary black lines appeared above Xiaocao's head. ‘Hey, hey! First of all, Qian Yafang is older than Little Shitou, and because of that, she cannot be her ‘sister’. Besides, Xiaowu, brat, you are also older than me, venerable Xiaocao, a year, okay? How could you dare to say such shameless things? ‘

Madam Fang had helped them prepare the pig's intestines and as she brought the basin into the kitchen, she heard Qian Wu's childish advice and couldn't help but say ‘pfffft’ and laugh, I think, “Wuzi, if your mother hears that you want to sell your sister and leave the house to eat, she might hit you until your leg breaks !! ”

“Tasting Xiaocao is really too good. In this life no, in my previous life and in my previous life, I swear I have never eaten meat that tastes as good as today. Shitou, what did you say just now? Is it called boiled pork head meat? Does it use meat from a pig's head? That's not true, is it ?? The head of a pig is an object that looks disgusting, how could it possibly be made into something so tasty? ” Qian Wu shook her head to resemble a toy. He obviously did not want to believe that the meat he ate came from the head of a pig.

When Little Shitou saw Qian Wu's reaction to the meat, she hurriedly cut off a piece and put it in her mouth. He believed that knowing the boiled blood and braised chicken innards he ate yesterday was the most delicious dish in the world. Who would have thought that the head of a pig, which everyone avoided like the plague, could be boiled into a dish that was even more palatable than boiled chicken innards?

Once boiled, the meat from the pig head has a perfect comparison between fatty meat and lean meat. When eaten, the taste of lard and seasoning blends into a burst of flavor. The savory taste seemed to permeate all corners of the mouth and make people feel so happy that they almost died.

Looking at their expressions, Xiaocao took out pieces that did not look pretty and cut them into pieces that were enough to fill the plate. He let everyone taste a little and also used a pair of chopsticks to try his own handiwork. He stuffed a small piece into his mouth and carefully chewed it. Mhm, it tastes good and is like the original. In his previous life, he was almost sick of eating boiled food because that was all he made in his shop, but he never got tired of eating boiled pork head meat. Because of this, his weight went up quite a lot.

At first, Madam Fang was too afraid to give it a try. However, after seeing how everyone enjoyed the meal with great pleasure, he took out the smallest piece of meat with a pair of chopsticks and placed it in his mouth. Immediately, his eyes began to shine with astonishment. The taste of this meat, ah, is more flavorful and tasty than its best dish, boiled pork. From wherever Xiaocao studied this dish, it was truly incredible!

“Xiaocao, Xiaocao! How do you make this boiled pork head meat? I want my mom to learn from you, is that okay, right? ” Qian Wu ate the meat deliciously as the taste and oil from the meat filled her mouth. He ate the pork head meat with a big bite and did not forget to sing his praises and lectures.

Little Shitou's eyes instantly widened, and he said, “Second Brother's culinary skills came from the gods in his dream. He can't tell anyone else! If the god blames him for spreading his secret and decides to eliminate his ability, then you will never be able to eat something as delicious as this again, even if you want to! ”

Madam Fang thought it was just something made up by children. He reckoned that Xiaocao had learned a secret recipe from someone and was told not to publish it. Therefore, he decided not to ask to be taught either.

However, Qian Wu really believed what Little Shitou said to her. Just think about it, in the past, Xiaocao had a very weak body and it was considered a good day when he could get out of bed. How could he possibly learn to cook from someone? Also, no outsiders had passed through the village recently. If God had not taught him, then where would he have gained this skill from? After thinking about it, Qian Wu nodded her head angrily and said, “I won't let my mother come here to study then, every time you make some kind of new food, please don't forget to keep it. Some of it for me ah.. I won't be a freeloader either, I can help you collect wild plants, I can help you collect wild plants, stealing eggs from wild birds, and when the weather gets warm again, I can also dig up some shells. ”.

“That's a deal! When there is something delicious to eat, I will have Little Shitou grab you! ” Xiaocao does not add any more pieces of pork head meat to the finished plate. After all, the boiled meat was supposed to be sold tomorrow at the dock.

After making sure that the boiled pork head meat had been done properly, Xiaocao began to boil the intestines and tripe. Boiled intestines have a good taste, a soft and soft texture, are savory and rich in taste, and have a very good taste in the mouth. Boiled pork chops have a sweeter taste, a silk-like texture not mushy, and chewy. Both are very tasty and delicious types of boiled dishes.

Madam Fang knew that the purpose of making all these foods for sale at the dock, so she stubbornly refused. However, Xiaocao told him that all of his ingredients were bought with the money he made from selling chicken innards. If Madam Fang did not want the meat, Xiaocao said that she would give her money instead. Only after hearing that did Madam Fang bring a plate of food home.

That night, after Zhou Dacang and his son returned from peddling the goods all day, the two of them nearly ate the entire plate of boiled food. They praised him endlessly and even wished there was more for them to eat. They repeatedly told Madam Fang, ‘A set of meat dishes that are so delicious, in the future, you should buy more to eat at home.’

Madam Fang laughed but did not divulge Xiaocao's secret. The village is not very big. If Madam Li and Madam Zhang knew of Xiaocao's culinary talent, the two of them would definitely come to make trouble. None of them would tolerate the second branch of that family well!

The next day, Xiaocao and his brother carried the very heavy basket to the dock. Once there, Foreman Sun, who arranged the flow of workers transporting cargo and goods, instantly saw it with eagle eyes. He shouted in a loud voice to the dock workers, “Brother, work hard! After you have finished transporting the goods on this ship, you can all rest and have breakfast !! A pair of brothers and sisters who sold a serving of meat for one copper coin yesterday were here again !! ”

The workers who yesterday tried the braised chicken offal all felt their morale increase and their morale to work increased significantly. In addition, the man who yesterday could not taste the boiled food also became more energetic. They wanted to finish the cargo haul before others queued up to get food and tried the meat that their co-workers had praised endlessly.

The cargo ship owner has been shipping goods for decades but he has never seen dock workers work this fast before. He felt confused and curiously asked what ‘one copper coin for a serving of this meat’.

Foreman Sun was an old acquaintance of the master of this cargo ship. He knew that if the owner of this cargo ship gave good words to him to the merchant who sold the goods, it would be of great help to his business.

He immediately invited the ship owner to eat at the only shack in the area selling stir-fry dishes and had Erzi call the two brothers and say, “Little girl, , can you give me ten servings of boiled meat yesterday? , and also tell me the blood is worth two copper coins .. ”

“Sorry, Sun Foreman! I brought various types of boiled food, and I have no idea of blood today. ” Foreman Sun felt very disappointed when he heard Xiaocao's reply. He had relied on this delicious yet cheap boiled food to give him face and reputation!

The owner of the cargo ship was somewhat dissatisfied that Foreman Sun invited him to dine in such a rough and low place. He thought a little and decided that next time he should recommend Old Six to take the job of taking things down …

However, at this time, he heard a little boy cheerfully reply, “Uncle Foreman, the food boiled today is even tastier than yesterday! I have some crispy pork ear slices, soft and fatty pig lips, delicious and savory pork innards, as well as a chewy and fragrant pork tripe… You won't regret trying it after one bite! ”

When the cargo ship master saw Little Shitou, who seemed to be the same age as his youngest granddaughter, he naturally began to miss his youngest and most beloved grandson. Although Little Shitou was dressed entirely in tattered and tattered clothes, her face was completely clean and she had a bright and sweet smile on her face. The owner of the ship, who spent most of his time in the sea shipping cargo, looked at Little Shitou and smiled, “Little boy, your mouth is quite nimble! After hearing you advertise your merchandise, the greedy monster within me suddenly became very interested! ”

Foreman Sun feels justified and interrupts strategically, “Little girl, give us two servings of all your sister recommended! If we like what we eat, we will also give you an extra gift. ” The boiled food Xiaocao brought this time has been packed together in small portion sizes again. In addition, he has also packed several individual packages in anticipation of special requests from those who eat the food and only like one of its kind.

“Good!” Xiaocao agreed with a ringing sound.

One by one, the boiled dishes were prepared. First is the pork ear tape mixed with chives, garlic, and chili oil. The dish has a beautiful deep red color that evokes appetite. In addition, the pork ear meat glistens under the light and looks delicious. Then there are the fat-rich pork offal without the greasy taste. Lastly, pork tripe that has been sliced thinly tastes savory and delicious. Xiaocao specifically borrowed some dishes from the stall owner and arranged the food carefully. Although the food portion is not much, but the aroma and appearance of the dish immediately arouses appetite.

The shipowner grew up in a rural area near the water, and was the type of man who liked to drink alcohol and eat meat. After traveling extensively for many years, this was the first time he had eaten something delicious and cheap every single one of these meat dishes. As he ate from the food, he felt as if he had gone to heaven. Soon, more than half of the food had been removed by the old man.

Beside him, Foreman Sun continued toast with wine but he only ate from a stir-fried vegetable dish. He did not forget to look Xiaocao eyes meaningfully to signal —— do not forget to give me some, ok….

“Bos, there are other boats that will reach the beach. We must leave immediately and not let Old Man Six take business away from us. ”Erzi shouted loudly as he ran, gasping for breath.

The captain of the cargo ship also knew that the items on his ship would be dismantled soon. He looked at Foreman Sun and said, “Go and do your job, okay? No need to accompany me anymore! Don't worry, in the future when I have a business, I will make sure to hire you.. ”.

After receiving the results he wanted, Mandor Sun continued to run towards the pier by the sea. Wherever there are people, there are homeless people. So wherever there is business, there must be competition. Because Tanggu dock thrives and crowded, it is natural that not only one team of dock workers work to unload cargo.
