Chapter 125 Lamb Leg Soup
After leaving the space and returning to the attic, Second Aunt had already treated my cousin's wounds.
The wound was wrapped with white gauze and tied with a bow that looked like it was about to spread its wings and fly high, which was in line with Second Aunt's style!
Lu Qingqing smiled to herself and hurriedly cleaned up the supplies she had brought back from the Song Mansion today.
This time when I went to the Song Mansion, I didn’t buy much stuff, just a goat, a pig’s head and two pig’s trotters!
Lu Qingqing cut off two goat legs and put them into the backpack, and put the remaining goat into the space for storage.
Two pig's trotters and a pig's head were also placed in the space, and only two goat legs were taken and placed on the backpack.
There were also some scattered flour, dried fish and two strings of bacon in the backpack!
He took a piece of the newly acquired cloth, cotton-padded jacket and bedding and put it in the backpack, and put the rest into the space!
All the gold, silver, treasures and banknotes were also kept in the space and not taken out in public.
Yang Liuqing packed up for Lu Yuanzheng and hurried over to help Lu Qingqing pack up!
She picked up a piece of brand new cloth, smelled it, and said with a smile:
"With this new piece of cloth, I can make a set of summer clothes for each of you."
This year's summer came early, but they still hadn't found clothes.
Now, with this new cloth, she cut it carefully, and by patching together some of the other scraps, she might be able to make two sets for each person.
Lu Qingqing looked up, taking in Yang Liuqing's thoughtful expression, and quickly responded:
"Okay, Second Aunt, you have to make yourself a nice set too. Don't worry about not having enough cloth. This piece of cloth is big enough, more than enough!"
During this period, whenever there was new cloth, the first thing Second Aunt thought of was to make new clothes and shoes for them, but she never made one for herself!
Every time I talked about her, she would evade the question by saying that she had plenty of clothes to wear.
Lu Qingqing looked at her second aunt's clothes, a lavender satin dress with countless patches on it, in all kinds of colors, all colorful. She was already thin and had poor blood circulation, and she looked even thinner in this dress.
However, every time Lu Qingqing asked her second aunt to make her a new set of clothes, she would always smile and respond but never take any action, and this time was no exception.
"Don't worry, Second Aunt will make a set for herself after she has made your clothes."
Lu Qingqing nodded and said nothing more!
It seems that Second Aunt’s clothes cannot be left to her to make by herself, so she should make a set for Second Aunt!
Although her needlework skills are not very good, she can still make a decent dress!
After packing up the supplies that Lu Qingqing brought back, Liang Pei also packed up himself and returned.
He was wearing a black brocade robe, with his hair combed up, and had thin features and a pair of bright eyes.
At this moment, he did not look like an eloquent shop owner, but rather like a scholar going to Beijing to take an imperial examination.
However, one of his ancestors was a high-ranking official. Although his family has been in decline for many years, after all, he is also from an official family and still has that innate scholarly air!
Liang Pei didn't know that Lu Qingqing thought of him this way. When he came in, he saw his aunt and nephew dividing supplies.
Liang Pei also quickly placed the supplies he had harvested in front of them, and it was obvious that he was giving them to them without asking for anything in return!
"No, no, we have already disturbed you enough. We must not take your things anymore."
Yang Liuqing handed the things to him, but Liang Pei held them back with his hand: "It's not something valuable, just a quilt and three cotton jackets. I happen to have a lot of these things in my store, and I can't use them. It would be a waste to leave them there, so I might as well give them to you."
Yang Liuqing still refused, and the two of them kept refusing for a while, neither of them giving in!
Lu Qingqing had no choice but to accept it, but she didn't want to do anything to express her gratitude, so she treated him to lunch at noon as a thank you!
Liang Pei didn't expect them to be so polite. Knowing he couldn't refuse, he had to agree.
The two newly obtained lamb legs were very fresh. For lunch, they prepared a pot of lamb leg soup, which was eaten with meat rice balls!
Every time when cooking, when it comes to chopping bones, I don’t need to call out, my second uncle will come over and chop the bones!
He was very strong and with a few bangs he chopped two lamb legs as thick as an adult's arms into pieces, filling a large basin, which weighed about eight pounds.
If you put these together, no matter how wealthy your family is, you won’t be able to eat them as a meal!
However, the weather is unpredictable nowadays and food is difficult to store. It is better to eat it quickly while it is fresh so that it will not go bad and be wasted!
There is no stove in the attic, and it is impractical to build one, so we have to borrow Liang Pei’s kitchen!
Liang Pei was very happy and even took over his second uncle's job of making the fire while cooking!
My second uncle had nothing to do, so he had to run back to feed the horses!
After feeding the horses, he and Lu Yaoyao acted as door gods, always keeping in mind everything around them and not daring to relax at all!
My cousin was injured, and my second aunt asked him to lie down and rest, and didn't let him do anything!
But he inherited the good genes from his uncle and aunt, and is a person who can't sit still at all!
There was nothing suitable for him to do, so he and his second uncle and Lu Yaoyao scouted the area together. With three pairs of eyes and six eyeballs, they would not let go even a bird flying through the sky!
Lu Qingqing looked at them with amusement.
At this time, the water boiled, and Lu Qingqing poured the lamb legs she had liked into the pot. When blood foamed out, she took them out, cleaned them, and put them back to cook!
Wait for the soup to boil for half an hour, then put a layer of steamed meat and rice balls in the steamer!
Lu Qingqing put about twenty meat rice balls in, but was afraid that the rice balls would not make them full, so she took two wild yams and steamed them together!
Liang Pei is worthy of being the owner of a restaurant and a chef himself!
He lit the fire very well. If Lu Qingqing asked him to make it bigger, it would be bigger. If Lu Qingqing asked him to make it smaller, it would be smaller!
As the fires of different sizes switched back and forth, the lamb leg soup was ready. Before the lid of the pot was opened, the aroma of the meat had already filled the entire kitchen, making everyone swallow their saliva in envy.
