Wang's little lady

As the days passed, the Xie family finally rushed to make a batch of new tea before winter. The following winter was no longer suitable for making new tea.

Waiting for the tea trees to recuperate and continue making new tea next spring.

Peas also took advantage of the season to stock up on a batch of pea starch, which can basically guarantee a basic supply in winter.

The Juhua family also took advantage of the opportunity to move from the village to the town, so that it would be easier for the two families to move around in the future.

After Juhua helps Hongdou at home every day, it will be more convenient and safer to go back.

Today is also a good day for the Xie family. The pigs raised on Zhuangzi are all fat, and it is about to celebrate the New Year. Hongdou summons good people to kill the pigs on Zhuangzi.

Therefore, Zhuangzi was particularly lively today. Xie’s town was closed for the day and everyone went to Zhuangzi to help.

"Master, where are we going to kill them? We have raised more than 30 of them. The blood will be strong after a while. Don't contaminate the stored tea."

Uncle Qu asked with a smile. Generally, killing a pig means that the New Year is not far away. Every family looks like they are working hard just to have a good year at the end of the year.

Eat better and look forward to good omens for the coming year.

At this time, Jiang's mother took the initiative to suggest: "Master, why don't you go to my house to kill the pig? Isn't my house empty? Shun'er and I only go back occasionally to check and clean."

"It's empty anyway. It's not too far away. How about we drive the pigs there?"

Hongdou thanked Jiang Mu for her kindness, but still refused, "Auntie, your yard may not be able to accommodate so many people and pigs. Don't ruin the yard."

"Uncle Qu, Brother Meng, cousin, uncle, let's set up a makeshift earthen stove next to the pig farm, put a big pot on it to boil water, and kill them there in a while."

"Zhuangzi is big, it won't affect the stored tea."

"Aunt Qu, Danhong, Ah Mao, grandma, mother, Juhua, Xiaoya, we will help boil water and prepare utensils, and the pigs' waste must be collected separately and put aside."

"Especially if the small intestine is protected separately, so many pigs will definitely not be able to finish it. I have to make new food."

As soon as Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Zhang heard that their granddaughter (daughter) had new attention, they naturally promised not to waste any meat.

They can stew pigs in water and make them delicious, so they don't want to throw them away.

"As for you little ones, Xie Yi, you can take a few brothers to play nearby and don't go too far. Today we will eat pig meat at the village."

"Okay, okay."

"Great, thank you, boss."

"Thank you, boss."

A group of children just dispersed to play by themselves. The women set up several large pots to boil water at the same time, and prepared the utensils for the meat.

Meng Da and the others sharpened their knives against the pigs and sheep.

Even with the help of several grown men, only six pigs were killed in a whole morning, which was really a laborious job.

When she killed the third pig, Aunt Qu took some fresh pork, pig offal, pig bones, pig heads, etc. on the way.

Taking Ms. Zhang, Ms. Zhao and Ms. Danhong to the kitchen to start making lunch, they finished their work and had a big meal.

Hongdou took her grandma and the others to collect the pig blood while sorting out the slaughtered pork. As long as they can be cooked into food, nothing is wasted.

"Everyone, let's take a break. We won't be able to finish the killing today. Let's continue tomorrow. There's no need to rush."

"Let's just kill six more in the afternoon. In the remaining time, I can teach everyone how to handle the casings. We can make another profit during the Chinese New Year."

Anko smiled and said to the busy people. Everyone was so curious that Juhua asked directly: "Cousin, what is this new food? Can you tell me in advance? We are very curious."

Hongdou doesn't have any secrets. Anyway, she has purchased the ingredients for the sausage in advance and will try to make some of them today.

If there are any mistakes, it is best to adjust them in time.

"The new food is called sausage. Mix the selected pork with seasonings, stuff it into a casing, tie it into sections, and then smoke it and dry it in the sun or dry it directly."

"Until the surface is dry and firm, the casing will shrink. However, the finished product will be much lighter than fresh pork."

"Of course the price will be much more expensive, otherwise we will lose money."

As Hong Dou spoke, she had already gone through the steps one by one in her mind, and her mouth couldn't help but salivation. She hadn't eaten sausages for a long time, and she missed it so much.

"In addition to making sausages, we can also make some bacon, keep part of it at home and eat it slowly, and sell the rest."

Not to mention Meng Da, Fu Sheng, Ju Hua and other young boys and girls, even Granny Xie and Jiang Mu Qu Bo couldn't help but become greedy.

"We have never seen this thing before, why does it sound so greedy?" Sun Youtian said with a slightly red face.

I am still an elder, it is really embarrassing and embarrassing.

"Stop talking about you, old lady, my mouth is watering. Hahahaha." Mrs. Xie took over the words, and everyone present burst into laughter.

The three Meng Da, Fu Sheng and Jiang Shun became more motivated. After the meal was over, they continued to kill the pigs and divided the meat for later use.

"Everyone is coming for dinner. The food is ready." Aunt Qu stood at the entrance of Zhuangzi and greeted Hongdou loudly.

Everyone moved the large pieces of pork that had been killed and chopped into Zhuangzi's front yard one after another, and continued after eating.

"Ms. Qu, your cooking skills are getting better and better. I've never seen this before." Meng San's eyes widened as he looked at the table full of dishes.

They have always known that Aunt Qu is a good cook, but why was she so good today?

After Aunt Qu put down the last bowl of food, she went to another table where the women's family members were. After hearing Meng San's words, she said proudly:

"This is the first meal after killing the pig. My boss has already told me to let go of my hands and not hide my secrets. I have been anticipating several big dishes today for a long time."

Everyone praised him one after another, and then they put their chopsticks into the food bowl in front of them, for fear that it would be gone if it was too late.

There is Xie Yi at the male table and Xiaoya at the female table. Both of them are big eaters. Although Ah Mao is not as strong as Xiaoya and Xie Yida.

But among ordinary women, they are not weak and they eat a lot.

Under the leadership of three people, everyone was full.

After the meal, everyone drank some tea to eat and rest. Uncle Qu led the men to continue killing pigs. Hongdou asked Xiaoya to take Ah Mao, Danhong and Juhua to help boil water and pack the meat.

I took a few cooks with me to sort out the small intestines left over in the morning and scrape the casings.

"Mom, grandma, Aunt Qu, aunt, I will demonstrate it again and you will watch. Wash the small intestine repeatedly with flour and coarse salt."

"Scrape out the excess fat again, but be careful, otherwise it will break."

After reading Hongdou's tutorial, Mrs. Xie couldn't help but sigh: "This thing is really expensive, and it has to be washed with flour and salt, which is very expensive."

The other people nodded in agreement. This was too expensive. Could it not be delicious?

Hongdou smiled and comforted: "It's just a little troublesome to fill the intestines with meat in the early stage, but once it's done, I'm sure you won't have enough to eat every day."
