Chapter 13 Refined Salt

Banniang said: "The offal is not eaten by the subordinates, unless the poor are extremely poor, they will pick it up and cook it." ”

Su You then remembered that the Song people didn't eat much blood, and they didn't eat much chicken offal yesterday, so I don't know where the cook threw it.

An honest villager grinned and said, "That is, in our Zhuangzi, except for the fat cow intestines boiled and fed to the dogs, everything else is thrown away......"

Su You's eyes straightened: "Such a waste? ”

After speaking, his eyes rolled, and his face was full of seriousness: "The farmer is full of hard work, but he has food and clothing, and it is difficult to keep a hundred dollars after a day of hard work in the market." A porridge and a meal, when thinking is hard-won, half a silk and half a thread, and the constant thought is difficult. I am in the Su family's Zhuangzi, but there is no such thing. ”

These words froze Twenty-Seven Niang there, and Su Banniang had tears in her eyes: "Uncle Xiao, we are really living so hard in Longli Mountain and Farm?" ”

Twenty-seven Niang walked in front of Su You: "The slave family has been taught." ”

After that, he stood up, with a serious face, and said to the stout man just now: "Shi Da, I won't pursue the matter of ploughing cattle stumbling, but what Mr. Xiao said is reasonable, let you eat offal as a punishment today, can you be convinced?" ”

"Huh?!" Su You and Shi Da were dumbfounded at the same time.

Shi Da had a bitter face: "This matter is the fault of Zhuang Shang, Twenty-seven Niang, we admit this punishment, thank you little lady for raising your noble hand and letting it go gently." ”

Su You didn't do it: "Wait! ”

Twenty-seven Niang said, "What do you have to tell the little gentleman?" ”

Su You wiped a handful of saliva, gritted his teeth and said: "I am an outsider, I shouldn't have interfered in the affairs of your village, this is rude first, so I should also be punished." And if I don't share the weal and woe with the dealers, it will be slander and resentment, so I must also eat with the dealers today! Cattle! Mixed! ”

Banniang and Twenty-Seven Niang hurriedly stopped it, but Su You had already made up his mind, and even did not hesitate to raise his seniority to suppress people, so he barely got by.

Called two farmers to find the buried offal, Su You secretly wiped a handful of sweat, it was really not easy to eat a bite of delicious food.

Hairy belly! I'm coming!

Picking up the freshly buried offal from the ground, Su You instructed the two to move the offal to the stream and set up a battle to clean it.

Caught a child, named Dong'er, that is, he accidentally dropped the cow while herding the cow, and went back with himself to ask the head of the village for half a catty of wheat noodles, and took a large basket, and spread a clean straw pole underneath, and the pole was covered with clean river sand in the stream, and another layer of straw was laid on the river sand.

Banniang and Twenty-Seven Niang looked at it all the way and felt extremely weird, and they all came to see what he was going to do.

Su You instructed Dong'er to burn a pile of grass ash, then drag out a large wooden basin to mix the grass ash into the pot, and then scoop it into the basket and filter it to get clean water.

The water that has been filtered through three layers is very clear and pure, and Su oil is a little slippery when you try it.

I asked for half a catty of mustard seeds from the head of the village, let Dong'er scoop them into fine powder, add warm water to make a paste, pour soybean oil to isolate the air, and then buckle the plate and put it on the stove to keep warm.

At this time, the farmer had already washed the offal and sent it over.

Su You instructed Zhuang Hu to make a pump with a bamboo tube, draw water into the cow's lungs, and then rub and squeeze it to force out the blood and water impurities inside.

Leave the beef heart and liver alone, scrub the tripe with flour and soak it in grass ash water to remove excess fat.

On the one hand, the main arteries removed from the cow were also collected by Su oil, scraped and cleaned, and also soaked in grass ash water, which is a delicacy in the hot pot.

Then the pancreas is fed to the dogs, and the sirloin is left for a while before being processed.

The rest is beef intestines.

The small intestine is processed first, and the farmer is instructed to rub out the powder with salt, and then hang it off with flour and wash it.

The same is true for the large intestine.

Soon, several large basins were set up in the yard, and they were full of clean cow offal.

Su Banniang and Shi Twenty-seven Niang looked at each other, this guy kept saying that he wanted to eat coarse food, and he hadn't cooked it yet, the salt powder went to half a catty first, and the flour went to two catties first, isn't this a waste of things!

But looking at a few pots of things, there is a world of difference from the dirty internal organs seen in the past, maybe ...... Can you really eat it?

Su You didn't care what they thought, after washing, he boiled a large vat of water, and asked people to break the cow bone mallet and add it to the vat to boil.

Then let people boil another jar of water, cut the large and small intestines into large sections, throw them into the jar and scald them for a while, take them out and ask people to cut small slices, and then collect the white grease on the intestinal wall in a small basin.

In addition to scalding the offal, he used a spoon to slowly and methodically remove the foam in the beef bone soup jar.

The farmer relieved the beef, left some good tender meat for the two ladies to make ingredients, and the rest was marinated in large pieces, and then some people came over to help.

At this time, Banniang asked the person who went to get the thirteen incense powder to come back.

Su You asked people to sew half of the medicinal powder into a yarn bag, picked a stone, washed it, tied it and sank it into a large vat to boil soup, and added a lot of peppercorns and ginger slices into it.

While supporting the village to boil the intestinal oil, on the other hand, take out the hairy belly artery and rinse it with water, cut and change the lung slices, hairy belly, and yellow throat.

The children were arranged to pick celery, coriander, shallots, ginger and garlic.

The women cooked and prepared vegetables.

Although there were many people and miscellaneous things, Su You's command was well arranged, and everyone played to their maximum efficiency.

Twenty-seven Niang whispered to Banniang on the side: "Ba Niang, if Xiaoyou is the head of the village, including food and housing, and opening ten yuan a year, there is no problem at all." ”

Banniang chuckled proudly: "Our little uncle, in the future, I will study and be admitted to the Jinshi master." A porridge and a meal, when thinking is hard-won, half a silk and half a thread, and the constant thought is difficult. Can Zhuang Tou say this? ”

Twenty-seven Niang covered her mouth and smiled: "I want to tell my ancestors and add this to the family motto, ouch, what does this smell so fragrant?" ”

Banniang also smelled it at this time, and swallowed her saliva: "Yesterday, Uncle Xiao made a chicken blood soup with chicken blood, which tasted delicious, otherwise, we will also lead by example today?" ”

Twenty-seven Niang snorted: "Well, it makes sense, Xiao You is a guest in the final analysis, there is no reason for a guest to come to eat water, and the host is eating beef on the side." I decided, and I also share weal and butter with Xiaoyou and the farmers! ”

After saying this, both of them felt a little shameless, and they couldn't help but look at each other and laugh secretly.

Salt is the most unbearable thing in this world, clean up, Su You beckoned Zhuangtou over, didn't say it, purified salt.

It's okay to say that the rice noodles or something, and the beef offal is also tossed by the little master, but the salt costs money to buy, and the head of the village does not dare to call the shots in this matter, so he went to tell the twenty-seventh mother.

Twenty-seven Niang waved her hand: "What does the little master of the Su family want to do, just listen, don't use it to report." ”

The next step is to boil salt, filter, burn lime, and grind soy milk.

Just burned the ashes of the plants, and the fact that the resulting solution is potassium carbonate.

Lime is ordinary, necessary for farms, calcium oxide is obtained after burning, and water is added to become calcium hydroxide solution.

Then it's time for the trick.

Grass ash water and lime water are mixed to obtain potassium hydroxide lye solution and calcium carbonate precipitate.

Saturated brine is added with potassium hydroxide lye to generate magnesium hydroxide suspension to remove magnesium ions in the brine.

Then add plant ash water, use potassium carbonate to generate calcium carbonate suspension, and remove calcium ions in the brine.

Soy milk is then added, and the complexation that occurs when the protein meets the salt is used to condense the suspended solids and impurities in the suspension into a clump.

After filtration, sodium chloride and sulfate and potassium salts are obtained.

Finally, through heating crystallization, the vast majority of sodium chloride is precipitated by using the principle of different crystallization temperature and concentration of different salts, and the remaining liquid is evaporated to become mixed crystals based on sodium sulfate and potassium salt.

When a bowl of snow salt and a few gall pills were placed in front of Banniang and Twenty-seven Niang, everyone was dumbfounded.

Twenty-seven Niang dipped her finger in the snow salt powder, put it in her mouth, and sighed: "It's so pure salty, there is no bitterness or astringency at all!" ”

After speaking, he was about to pick up a gall pill with his hand and prepare to lick it, but Su You hurriedly stopped: "This is a gall pill, the bitter taste that disappeared from the snow salt, but it is all concentrated here, it can be used to make tofu, but you can't taste it like this." ”

Twenty-seven Niang has now become a fan of Su You's brain, and nodded stupidly: "Oh......"

Su You asked, "The person who went to pick Guanyin soil has come back?" ”

Twenty-seven Niang came back to her senses from the snow-white gallbladder pill: "I'm back, I'm back." ”

Su You said: "Then let him pick out the whitest Guanyin soil, and use my method in the morning to stir out the mud, filter, stir, stand, and precipitate." Absorb water with a strip of yarn. ”

Twenty-seven Niang said: "Then I and Banniang will deal with this matter first." ”

Su You smiled: "Go, come back early, there is something delicious tonight." ”
