Chapter 22 Making Meat Floss, Jerky, and Meat Tenderloin
Erya originally planned to skin the wild boar herself, and at most Xiaohu would be an assistant.
As a result, the uncle and the second uncle have to follow suit, saying that they have learned, and they will not need to do this rough work with a girl in the future!
Seeing that so many people were fighting, Erya was not polite. He ordered a tripod to be erected in the courtyard, and a rope was tied around the pig's neck, and he hung it on it.
Er Ya stood on the stool, made an incision from the pig's neck, and began to peel the skin little by little. Since it was hoisted, it was much easier and more convenient than the original plan to lay it flat on the ground and peel it, and even the round stick that had been prepared was not used.
After dinner, they lit torches and tried their hand at each other. The pointed bamboo knife has to be sharpened from time to time, so compared to peeling rabbit skin, it takes a lot of time!
When it was time to peel off the pigskin, it was already early winter. I am not afraid that the meat will spoil, so the big ones wash their hands and go back to their respective homes.
The next day, Xiaohu and his family brought about 20 pheasants and sent them directly to the restaurant in the town.
Some of the ingredients used for spiced meat are found from pharmacies. Sugar, caustic soda, gypsum, quicklime, etc. These are all needed immediately, and you can't buy them. bought it back, and it is estimated that the eldest uncle and second uncle will have their eyes wide again.
Walking on the way home, thinking of a large family, the demeanor that may appear in their ability to spend money, Er Ya smiled and shook his head.
Xiaohu saw his daughter-in-law shaking her head inexplicably, so she asked with concern: "Daughter-in-law! What's wrong with you? Headache? Were you tired yesterday? ”
Erya turned her head and smiled at Xiaohu: "No, I just think of the uncle, seeing that we didn't bring a penny back, it is very likely that our eyes will be as big as copper coins." Wouldn't it be funny if you said it was true! ”
"Nope! Uncle doesn't care how much money you spend, didn't the uncle say it all at the beginning, let you be the housekeeper. Therefore, if you spend money, the eldest uncle and the second uncle will not say anything! ”
"I hope so! By the way, are you struggling to train now? I want to start changing you for two pounds of sandbags, I don't know if you can afford it! ”
"That's no problem, it's just that we're in a hurry every day, we want to learn the moves earlier."
"Okay! Then I'll start teaching one group a day from tomorrow morning. There are three or four moves in one group, and there are also seven or eight moves. There are four or five groups in one set, and there are more than a dozen groups. In fact, many groups are much the same, just to prevent the other party from seeing the number of sets, and make some specious changes. When you are studying, you should also be more careful, be flexible, and don't draw the scoop in a daze. ”
Let Erya tell what kind of martial arts he has learned! Erya really can't say it. Because Erya found that what she knew was different from what she would do in the later movies and in the martial arts competitions. She didn't know which one was more powerful.
Because she never had a chance to make a move; When I was young, I was eager to try and win a championship or something. But Shigong was resolutely opposed, so he had no choice but to give up.
Later, Shigong passed away, and no one cared about it, but unfortunately he was old and lost the sense of honor that martial arts is a skill, but it became an ordinary thing like being able to speak and write!
When I arrived at the door of the uncle's house, I saw the uncle and a man, grinding a pick, pushing around!
Erya looked at it curiously, Xiaohu glanced at it, looked prescient, and said confidently: "That's Shanzi's father, it must be to give him meat, his family doesn't want it, and he sent it over again!" ”
Er Ya doesn't look like it, that meat can't be picked. smiled and amused Xiaohu: "Let's bet!" If you don't bring meat back, you'll go out tomorrow in women's clothes! ”
Xiaohu was a little confused, "Huh!? I don't bet on you! You're good or bad. ”
"Hahaha!" Erya laughed all the way into the uncle's house! I forgot to even say hello to the guests, but fortunately, I still knew to go back and say hello.
Xiaohu followed behind depressedly, and when he greeted Shanzi's father, he also took a special look at the things in the pick. Oh! It turned out to be rice. Call! Fortunately, I didn't listen to my daughter-in-law, what a bet!
When I arrived at home, Erya began to be busy making zuò, meat floss, jerky, and meat tenderloin! Fortunately, they had already cut the pork into small pieces and soaked it in water, and according to Erya's requirements, all the tendons and a little bit of fat were removed.
The eldest aunt was at the window of the kitchen and saw Erya checking in a few basins of soaked meat. Then he came out and pointed to a few basins, and told them one by one: "Nephew and daughter-in-law! In these two basins are tenderloin, cut into strips as you say; In these two pots is the rump meat, cut into pieces as you say; In these two basins are the remaining meat, cut into slices as you say; The bowl was minced meat, fat, tendons, and so on. The time to soak should be almost! ”
Erya smiled very satisfied: "Auntie, I can't worry about your affairs." It's amazing, even better than I could do it myself! ”
The eldest aunt touched her hair a little shyly, and said with a smile: "You kid! Just coax your aunt to be happy. Actually, I didn't do anything, just did what you said, let your uncle take a few children to do it. ”
"Haha! That's also how well the aunt taught! ”
Erya began to take out the meat from each basin, wash it, and put it in the marinade.
Once the meat is marinated, go to the kitchen and wash your hands. There are no soaps, detergents, or hand sanitizers for hand washers. You can only grab a handful of straw ash in the pot hole, rub your hands back and forth, and then wash it with water. Actually, the effect is quite good.
After washing her hands, Erya, who had nothing to do, just walked around the yard. I saw Xiaohu on the crutch of the yard, spreading the pigskin on the big wooden board, and scraping the fat there. Just walk over and see how he shaves!
I don't know if I don't see it, I was startled when I saw it, this little tiger was silent, when did he do it so well: "Roar! Okay, kid dad! I've learned this technique! ”
Xiaohu heard his daughter-in-law speak and stopped what he was doing. With the crook of his arm, he wiped the sweat from his forehead. looked at his daughter-in-law and said, "Daughter-in-law, look at what you do, don't think." When I did it myself, I realized that this was really powerful! If you use a little less force, you won't be able to scrape the grease attached to the skin. ”
Er Ya nodded appreciatively, Xiaohu grasped the point so quickly, that is, blunt knife and hard work! This kid is very smart.
When it was time to eat, several of the brothers who had been training outside had returned. Laizi ran to Erya and asked, "Sister-in-law!" Shanzi also wants to train with us, and he still wants to tie sandbags, okay? ”
What's not to be with that? "Okay! Just give him a pair of your sandbags, and I'll change two pounds of sandbags for you from tomorrow, and I'll start teaching moves tomorrow. By the way, how many words do you remember? I just taught you, and I haven't checked it yet! ”
Laizi patted his chest: "I remember, if you don't believe it, I will recognize it if you write it!" Sister-in-law, if it is "Laizi suddenly stammered.
"What if? If you don't recognize it, I won't punish you, just teach it again. As for being so unproductive? Erya frowned slightly.
Laizi was in a hurry, and waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no!" I was asking, if Shanzi or my other cousins also want to read and write, can I teach them? ”
"Oh! That's your business, you can teach it if you want! However, you have to study hard, don't learn the typo and then teach others, and then, a litter of typos, that is a funny man! Hahaha" After speaking, Er Ya still looked at Laizi and laughed wildly! I'm so angry that I'm choking.
At the dinner table, the uncle began to speak again. That's all there is to the countryside about, there is no rule that you can't talk at the dinner table. Otherwise, it's not fun to eat with a stuffy head.
"Today, I sent the meat for Shanzi to his house, but his father accepted it. But he turned around and picked up most of the half load of rice and sent it over, I don't want it, he won't leave, so I'll take it.
The conditions of his family are not very good, and there will be enough to eat! I wonder if I will call Shanzi when I go up the mountain in the future, so that his family will also have a little extra income! What do you see? ”
The second uncle was gnawing with a rabbit head in his hand, and he couldn't open his mouth to speak, so he nodded vigorously and made a "uh-huh" from his nose.
A few children didn't even say that Er Ya has always been very in favor of the uncle's approach, and if he can repay it, he will try his best to report it. But don't do anything to repay later, don't wait for you to repay, people have already lost their good impression of you.
After the meal, Erya asked the brothers to bring all the meat to her house and prepare it in their own kitchen.
The rump meat is made into meat floss, with a slight sweetness; Tenderloin made into tenderloin, spicy; The meat on the body is made of jerky, spiced.
It took two days and two nights to boil and fry dry. Fortunately, there are many people at home, and it doesn't take much time to tear shredded meat! Otherwise, you can take Erya's life!
The brothers were a little tired of staying at home, and they began to argue again about going up the mountain. Last time, I didn't bring back the fungus tree and mushroom tree, and a few of them tried their best to drag it back.
The second girl wanted the eldest uncle and the second uncle to take them there, and she still had a lot of things to do: the cow not only fed water from time to time, but also ground soy milk and fed it with bean foam. I also want to exchange rabbit meat for rapeseed oil cakes and come back for it to eat. In short, it would be best to try your best to take care of its body, let it carry it by itself, and pull the bezoar down with the feces!
There are also rabbit furs and pig skins that she has to do, and the second aunt and the eldest aunt have to go out to kill geese and ducks, but they don't have time to do these things.
Let the uncle or second uncle do this at home, and the second person is not at ease. Men who are careless are really not the ones who do such trivial things.
But they have always been taken by Erya, and they were a little panicked when they heard Erya say not to go.
Erya persuaded again: "You still have to train more at home, practice more moves, recognize more familiar words, practice more archery, jump pits, climb trees, these must be practiced, don't think that those are not important, maybe when, those can become the tricks to escape, don't always think about going to the mountains, just for the immediate benefits."
Let's go in a few days, let the eldest aunt go too, bring two baskets, find someone to ask for some rough food, and bring back all those wild eggs in the mountains. Let the uncle send her back on the same day! When the time comes, we will build a small kang and pick up the eggs that can float the chickens and separate the floating chickens! The leftover eggs are eaten by themselves, and wild eggs are highly nutritious. ”
Uncle knocked on the table, "Listen to Xiaohu's daughter-in-law's arrangement, don't always think about going to the mountains to play!" ”
Everyone didn't dare to refute, so they had to wait patiently for Erya to speak.
