Chapter 274 Fried Pork Ribs
Although spring has arrived, the weather is still very cold and we still have to wear cotton-padded jackets.
Only now the sun is warmer and the wind isn’t as biting.
But compared with Lianglin Village, the border is still windy and snowy.
Seeing that the snow outside was getting heavier, Qi Xu simply dropped his weapon, turned his wrist and went to find Zhou Shouan.
Recently, Zhou Shouan’s fried skeletons are very popular.
When I have free time, I will make some to satisfy everyone’s cravings.
Sprinkle some seasoning powder on it to make it taste more fragrant.
I can never get enough of it. Qi Xu’s mouth is watering just thinking about it!
It's snowing today, which gives him a chance.
He insisted that Brother Zhou fry him a pot of it so that he could enjoy it.
After spending several months together, Qi Xu had already established good relations with this team of cooks.
When everyone saw him coming, they greeted him.
"Shen Yang, where is Brother Zhou?"
Shen Yang was busy working and pointed behind him, asking him to find it himself.
Qi Xu came to the back and saw Zhou Shouan fiddling with something with his head down.
There are either dry or wet vegetables next to it.
"Brother Zhou, are you busy?"
Qi Xu raised the ribs in his hand, which he had taken from his father's kitchen.
"Yeah, I'm busy. Do you want to eat ribs?"
Zhou Shouan was working hard with a piece of green onion leaf in his mouth.
"Well, are you free to make it for me? I want to eat fried pork ribs."
"Okay, help me chop the green onions. I just chopped some chicken bones and fried them together. I'm out of chili powder, so I plan to use the green onion powder as a condiment. I think it should taste good."
"Okay, then you go ahead and fry them. I'll take care of the chopped green onions."
Qi Xu stuffed the ribs into Zhou Shouan's hands and told him to hurry up.
Zhou Shouan chuckled and went to the front tent carrying the ribs.
This kid is a foodie!
Zhou Shouan began to prepare the batter, added some salt and five-spice powder into it, threw the chopped meat and ribs into it, coated them all with the batter, and then put them into the oil pan to fry.
Fry it repeatedly two or three times. When frying it for the last time, sprinkle a layer of chopped green onion on top. The fried ribs will have the aroma of green onion.
Crispy, fragrant and delicious!
The brothers in the kitchen shared some and ate the rest, and Qi Xu took all away.
"I'll let my dad and brothers have a taste and I'll be leaving soon. Brother Zhou, I'll put yours in the bowl for you."
Zhou Shouan scooped out the hot oil and saw a bowl full of pork ribs. This kid still has a conscience.
He chuckled and called Shen Yang to come over and eat.
"Come and eat, sheep."
Qi Xu was afraid that the ribs would get cold, so he covered them with two layers of cage cloth.
It's dinner time now, a good opportunity for everyone to taste this delicacy.
"Dad, eldest brother... second brother and third brother are here too..."
Why are you all gathered here today? Did something happen?
"Come and try it, it's delicious."
Qi Xu lifted the cage cloth, revealing the golden ribs inside. The aroma of onions kept entering his nostrils.
Everyone took a piece to try.
"Xu'er, did you do this?"
Qi Yan chewed it twice and felt that it tasted really good and fragrant.
"No, I'm not cut out for this. This is what the chef made. How is it? It tastes good, right?"
Qi Xu raised his eyebrows proudly.
"Well, it's really good."
Qi Rui and Qi Jian on the side also ate two or three pieces.
The general only ate one piece. As he was old, no matter how delicious the food was, he would only taste a little bit and didn't care much about his appetite.
"Xiao Xu, you're here just in time. Go with your second brother to pick up the peace ambassadors in a few days. They wrote to say they're on the way and will be here soon."
"Okay, how come you came so quickly? It's only been a short while. The snow is still falling."
"Why bother yourself so much? Just do what you are told." Qi Rui tapped his younger brother's head.
"Okay, remember to call me when you leave." Qi Xu gnawed on the ribs and muttered at the right time.
"okay."
The Gentiles were close by, so it made sense that they came so quickly.
However, the emperor of our dynasty is far away, and even if it is an urgent express letter with a speed of 800 miles, it will take a lot of time to travel back and forth.
The civil officials had to travel by horse-drawn carriage, and as it happened to be the Spring Festival, it would take at least March for them to arrive.
General Qi stroked his beard and read a book when he had nothing to do.
"Dad, after we finish this, can I go out and play for a while?"
Qi Xu asked tentatively.
As soon as he sticks out his butt, I know what this guy is going to do!
General Qi rolled his eyes and asked, "Where do you want to go?"
"Hey, it's not far, it's just a small village. We can go home after playing. It's not far from here, Sanshui County. Dad, do you know this place?"
"Oh? Sanshui County?" At this point, General Qi became interested.
News came from Beijing that an open-pit iron mine was discovered in Sanshui County. Could it be this Sanshui County?
"Do you want to do anything else besides having fun?"
General Qi closed the book and took out a letter from the interlayer.
"Dad, that's all. I don't have anything to do. I just don't want to go back to Beijing so soon. Beijing is not fun at all. I am restricted by my mother wherever I go. It's not fun at all."
Seeing his son's reluctant look, General Qi felt relieved.
"Okay, go if you want to, but there's a letter from the capital saying that an iron mine has been discovered in a village in Sanshui County, and the emperor asked your second brother to send troops to garrison there. How about going after the peace talks are over? Are you interested?"
General Qi placed the letter on the table for his son to read.
"Really? That's great. I must go. I'll tell Zhou Shouan right now and ask him to come with us. His family is from Sanshui County. Hahahaha, God is helping me."
"You little brat, you've grown your wings and don't want to be tied down at home anymore."
"Dad, how could that be? I will definitely go home when I have stayed out long enough."
"Okay, but this matter is still confidential. Don't talk nonsense when you go out, you big mouth. Shut up tightly, otherwise, you'll be in trouble!"
"Oh, I see. When will the peace ambassador you mentioned arrive?"
"There are still four or five days left. Just follow your second brother."
"All right."
As soon as they finished talking about the matter, Qi Xu ran away.
General Qi shook his head. This kid has been in Beijing for too long and behaves like a child in everything he does.
There is still a month and a half until March, so it is a little too early to make preparations, but it is enough to make Qi Xu happy.
……
Now that the weather is getting warmer, Mr. Zhou's business has reopened.
Once the family gets busy, there will be no more sadness about Zhou Mingjie and Zhou Mingyuan going to school.
But because there are two fewer people in the family, some work has to be redistributed.
Zhou Mingshu and the others now had more work to do.
