Chapter 215: Making casings, the family affair has been withdrawn, but the matter has not been resolved
Ai Qiaoqiao asked people to buy pig intestines everywhere.
There are butchers in ten miles and eight villages, and if you want to collect more pig intestines, you have to go to the villages to collect them, and Ai Qiaoqiao can't be busy at all.
Zhang Wu and his father went into the mountains to hunt and hadn't come back yet, so she could only go to her uncle Ai Tiancheng and Wen Wenhua.
Fortunately, it was a time when the farm was slack, and each family had no farm work, so Ai Tiancheng and Wen Wenhua went to the surrounding villages to contact the butchers.
The price of pig intestines is not expensive, because it is really troublesome to pick it up, so when I hear that someone accepts this, many people are willing to sell it to them.
When the weather is cold, there is no need to worry about the pork intestines being shipped back to spoil.
It's just that the smell is really bad, Ai Qiaoqiao didn't dare to put things at home, so he asked Ai Tiancheng to help, and built a shed in the leeward place not far from the river, which was specially used as a workshop for washing pig intestines.
The farmer family has a way to wash the pig intestines, but Ai Qiaoqiao's requirements are very high, not only to clean the pig intestines, but also to scrape off all the fat and red meat in the intestines, and turn the intestines over, with a special smooth wooden spoon to scrape on it repeatedly, until only the casing part remains.
Ai Qiaoqiao brought the casing to Runxue to see.
At this point, the casing is already a little transparent.
Runxue was very puzzled, "I scraped everything inside, how can I have anything to eat?" ”
Ai Qiaoqiao smiled, "What I want is not fat intestines, but casings, the thinner the better." ”
Anyway, Ai Qiaoqiao paid the salary, no matter what she said, Runxue just did it.
Ai Qiaoqiao continued to scrub the translucent casing with salt, rinsed it and poured some flour on it, rinsed it again and rinsed it with vinegar, and finally Ai Qiaoqiao picked up the processed casing, like a thin piece of paper.
"It's going to be like this, if it's not very transparent, it's going to be worse, because everyone scrubs differently, don't break the casing when washing." Ai Qiaoqiao hung her washed casing on the shelf and asked everyone to come forward to check them one by one.
"Finally, after washing, turn the casing over again, and blow the casing up to see if there is any damage or air leakage, if not, it is a complete success." Ai Qiaoqiao announced with a smile.
"The weather is cold, and it will be very hard to do this work, and I will give ten big money every day to do it, and I will take care of the meal at noon." Ai Qiaoqiao looked at everyone.
This time, Runxue found a total of eight women, all of whom were diligent and capable.
Five of them had helped her make slurry before, and Ai Qiaoqiao could trust her.
When the women heard that there were ten big sums a day, they all nodded their heads in agreement.
It is to go to the Niangniang Temple to repair the bridge, if there is no craftsmanship, the stone for a day is only ten big money.
Ai Qiaoqiao taught Runxue how to handle casings, and they became proficient after only a few times.
Ai Qiaoqiao set up two large cauldrons outside the shed, and the hot water was continuous, so that Runxue and the others could use some warm water when rinsing the casing, so that they would not be too cold.
Every day, the prepared casing will be packed in a clean container, mixed with an appropriate amount of salt, salted, and put into the cave behind the old house.
After two days of casing, Ai Qiaoqiao began to prepare for the meat filling.
She asked Ai Tiancheng to go to the city to buy three pig's hind legs and came back, removed the meat skin, cut off the meat, and chopped it into meat filling.
She scraped off the fat from the skin of the pig, boiled the skin in a pot, and added condiments to make the skin jelly.
Because of the cave, a natural cold cave, the jelly quickly took shape, and at noon, Ai Qiaoqiao took out some jelly, cut it into thin slices, and poured some garlic sauce on it.
Authentic and very popular.
Even the night is full of praise for eating it.
On the second day, Ai Qiaoqiao changed the condiments again, blended the soy sauce and vinegar with sesame oil and fried pepper oil, and finally poured oil and spicy seeds on it.
Packed in a white porcelain plate, the white jade-like skin is shiny, with fiery red spicy seeds piled on top and a layer of red oil floating below.
Listening to the wind and rain, I ate an extra half bowl of rice.
"Qiaoqiao girl, you might as well make some jelly and sell it, someone will definitely buy it." Listening to the rain touching the bulging little belly, licking his mouth and proposing.
"Miss Qiaoqiao eats everything you do." Listen to the wind.
Ai Qiaoqiao smiled, "Actually, anyone can make skin jelly, but my dish is delicious because the sauce I mix is special." ”
She cut two large pieces of skin jelly and sent them to Wen Wenhua and Ai Tiancheng respectively, and when she came back, Wen Wenhua took out the little wolf and asked her to take it back.
The little wolf was much harder than when she first saw her, and although it still looked like a cub, it ran around, and its legs and feet seemed very dexterous.
"If you want to use it to take care of the yard in the future, you can't feed it too much." Wen Wenhua instructed, "And it's extremely wild, you'd better keep it on a chain." ”
Ai Qiaoqiao took the little wolf with her when she went to deliver skin jelly to Ai Tiancheng, and watched it follow behind her, and she was a little reluctant to tie it up.
"What if it grows up and runs away?" Ai Tiancheng was also worried when he saw the little wolf.
Ai Qiaoqiao looked very open, "If you run, you will run for miles, and I don't really want to point to it to guard the nursing home." ”
I don't know if the little wolf really understood her words, so he howled twice and bared his little teeth at Ai Tiancheng.
"Hey, they say that wild things are untamable, you have to be careful." Ai Tiancheng accepted the jelly, and told Ai Qiaoqiao about the old Ai family in the past two days.
"Xiaoling's family affairs have retired from your grandfather, and your second uncle and your grandmother are not satisfied." Ai Tiancheng said.
Ai Qiaoqiao sneered twice, she had already guessed that things would not be so easy.
"What does my milk say?" Ai Qiaoqiao asked.
Ai Tiancheng sighed, "Your grandmother is naturally reluctant to be pretty, Xiaoling is just a granddaughter, and she doesn't care about it, so it's naturally not expensive." ”
Ai Qiaoqiao pouted.
can be Ma's will, in this family, I'm afraid that only Ai Qiaohua and Ai Yonggui are expensive.
I really don't know what Ma's thinks, he actually trusts Ai Yonggui so much, if someone else sells the pretty flowers, Ma's will pounce on him and tear him up.
But Ai Yonggui is good, after some rhetoric, Ma really believed it, it seems that she still has sustenance for Ai Yonggui in her heart.
felt that Ai Yonggui would be able to take her and Ai Mingshan into the city to enjoy happiness after getting a new errand.
Without Ai Tiancheng and Fang's family, and then marry Xiaoling, there will be only Ai Daquan in the family, and when he arrives in the city, let Ai Daquan go to find a miscellaneous errand, with these two people to support, and then invite a few more servants at home, and it is not Ma's hand covering the sky outside the house.
Just thinking about such a day will make Ma laugh out loud.
However, Ma's has been frowning these days.
Because Ai Mingshan refused to agree to Xiaoling's family affairs, and asked Ai Yonggui to find a matchmaker to come to his house, and returned the five hundred taels of silver.
Xiaoling's relatives were retired, and the five hundred taels of silver also flew, and Qiaohua's deed of sale could not be redeemed.
Ma Shi was worried, and went to Ai Yonggui to discuss privately that night, but he didn't notice that Ai Xiaoling was secretly following her.
