Border Cook

Chapter 604: Glutinous Rice, Pork Ribs and Sausage
"I thought it would be warm in the afternoon when the sun was strong and I wouldn't feel cold in the yard, but it still blew. I guess I can't be too confident in the future."

As Xia Mingyue was getting dressed, she couldn't help but let her nose run and quickly took some tissue to wake herself up.

Yin Qiao hurriedly made a bowl of hot ginger soup to drive away the cold for Xia Mingyue.

Xia Mingyue, who was originally busy washing pig casings in the yard, had to give up temporarily, leaving Yin Qiao, Lu and others busy.

A bowl of rich, steaming ginger soup was quickly prepared and brought to Xia Mingyue.

Drink it while it's hot, without the need for a spoon, just blow on the hot steam and drink it in circles along the edge of the bowl. The charcoal stove is warming it, and she is wearing thick clothes. After drinking this bowl of hot ginger soup, Xia Mingyue feels hot all over, and her back is sticky and covered with sweat.

After a while, beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead, and beads of sweat were oozing out one after another all over his body.

Xia Mingyue was sweating profusely, feeling her whole body was clear and refreshing. Her nostrils, which were originally blocked, were now completely open, with a pool of clear mucus flowing out.

After clearing all the snot, I felt more refreshed, as if a heavy shackle had been removed from my body, and I felt relaxed all over.

"Good luck!"

Xia Mingyue let out a long sigh, and after all the sweat on her body had dried off, she changed into a set of clean, dry clothes and was about to walk out.

"My wife has just gotten better, and now she is busy again. It would be better for her to rest for a while."

Yin Qiao tried to dissuade him, and even Mrs. Lu, who was busy in the yard, chimed in, "It's almost enough to wash it, just rinse it a few more times, it won't hurt even if you're busy."

"Then I..."

"We'll soak the glutinous rice later!"

"Then I'll go fry the peppers. You won't get cold if you work by the stove." After saying this, Xia Mingyue didn't give anyone else any room to refute. She went straight to the kitchen to get the dried peppers that had been picked up, washed, and dried earlier.

Lu: "..."

Xiangqiao, "..."

Well, he is just a person who can't sit still and won't listen to anything you say.

Since I can't sit idle, I'll just do as Xia Mingyue said, it's better to stay warm by the stove than be exposed to the wind outside.

Moreover, Xia Mingyue was a person who usually liked to get things done first. If she was really stopped from doing it now, she might complain about discomfort all day long.

Mrs. Lu and Xiangqiao let her go, and Qingju followed Xia Mingyue into the kitchen to help light the fire.

Xia Mingyue poured some oil into the iron pan, and poured in the dried red peppers, stir-frying over low heat until all the peppers were dried and fragrant, smelled spicy and the skin was crispy when pinched. Then she took all the peppers out of the pan, put them in a stone mortar, and slowly pounded them into chili powder.

After all the chili powder is prepared, pound all the seasonings such as Sichuan pepper, pepper, rock sugar, nutmeg, cumin, cloves, star anise, costus root, angelica root, ginger, etc. into powder, pour them into the basin containing the raw ribs soaked in blood and chopped into pieces together with the previous chili powder, mix thoroughly and marinate for two hours.

Everything is ready. The glutinous rice that was soaked previously has also been soaked for a full twelve hours. After being scooped out and drained of water, it is mixed with the marinated ribs and stuffed into the cleaned pig intestine casings.

After all the filling is completed, tie them into sections with fine hemp ropes, poke some holes with bamboo sticks to facilitate exhaust, and then hang them on bamboo poles in a cool and ventilated place to dry in the shade for seven or eight days until the surface of the casing is dry and hard with wrinkles. Put the dried spicy glutinous rice and pork ribs sausage directly into the pot and cook on medium heat for half an hour, then you can take it out and eat it.

This was Xia Mingyue's first attempt at making glutinous rice pork ribs sausages. She didn't have much confidence, so she didn't make much. She only tried to cook four or five sausages.

But just these few sausages, when they were being cooked, gave off an extremely rich aroma. After they were cooked and cut, the aroma of glutinous rice and pork ribs suddenly rushed out, drilling into people's nostrils, and hooking out all the gluttonous bugs in their stomachs.

Xia Mingyue couldn't help but sniff, sniffed the aroma, picked up a piece of pork ribs and sausage and put it into her mouth.

The first thing you eat is the chewy sausage casing, followed by the soft glutinous rice.

Because the glutinous rice has been soaked for a sufficient amount of time before being stuffed into the sausages, it is very easy to cook no matter how long it is air-dried. However, because it has gone through the air-drying step, even after being cooked, it is soft and sticky, and has a firm texture that ordinary glutinous rice does not have.

The meat and bones of the ribs can be separated very easily, and the meat is firm and chewy. After being air-dried and sun-dried for many days, all the seasonings that were previously mixed and filled in have been soaked into the ribs, making the ribs taste authentic, rich and delicious.

Even the bones left after eating the ribs and sausages, if you take a few more bites now, you will still feel full of flavor and endless aftertaste...

In a word - delicious!
Xia Mingyue ate with gusto and was very satisfied with her own cooking skills. She then took out the cooked pork ribs and sausages and shared them with others to have a taste.

It's very glutinous, spicy and fresh, and the meat is firm and delicious...

Take a piece of pork rib sausage and eat it slowly. The more you chew, the more delicious it becomes. Although it is not as satisfying as the sausage made of pure meat, where you can eat half of it in one bite, you can slowly savor the flavor by chewing it slowly, and it feels more and more delicious.

"good to eat!"

“It’s really delicious, and the more you chew it, the more delicious it becomes.”

"This glutinous rice, pork ribs and sausage is perfect for a banquet!"

"I think it's best eaten as a snack in the afternoon. If you eat it at a banquet, it will be too slow and not very satisfying."

"It's because you eat slowly that it's suitable as a banquet dish, to prevent you from eating too fast and leaving us with nothing to eat..."

"!!!"

The popularity of the glutinous rice, pork ribs and sausages exceeded Xia Mingyue's initial imagination. These five or six sausages were not enough to satisfy her hunger, so she had to put the remaining sausages into the pot to cook.

After lunch and dinner, only a few pieces of the big pot of glutinous rice, pork ribs and sausages were left.

The remaining few were picked up by Yin Lingyou after dinner.

"I'm old and useless. I'm picky about food and need to eat small meals frequently. You guys ate so much just now, let these be a midnight snack for me."

Everyone, "..."

No matter it is lunch or dinner, Mao Sanli has always been the champion in terms of appetite, but Yin Lingyou is only second. Now you say that others eat more?
