Making half a pig into pork belly is not a small task, and they still need to prepare a lot of things.

"Before the marinade, the meat has to be marinated first, and it is cold, so I am afraid that it will have to be marinated until the second half of the night." Uncle said.

"And salt, we don't have that much salt in our house." Yu Song said.

"There aren't enough spices." Yu Feng learned a little bit of craftsmanship with his father and knew that sauce and marinade required a lot of spices.

"I said." Jiang, who had been silent, opened his mouth, "Do you have to kill the pig first?" ”

Everyone: "......"

Killing pigs is a technical job, the only butcher in Lotus Village was requisitioned together with Awan's father as early as that year, and there was also a butcher in the next village, but unfortunately he accompanied his mother-in-law back to his mother's house two days ago, and has not returned.

"Or ...... Shall I go find a plug? Yu Song said that the bolt is the son of a butcher in the village, the same age as Yu Song, and the two have a good relationship, "He has killed a few pigs with his father." ”

Yu Feng shook his head and said, "How big was the plug at that time?" It's just to hand a bucket to his father, which is also called killing a pig? I don't think I'm going to drag the pigs out into town and kill them. ”

The uncle said disapprovingly: "Once you go, don't talk about spending money, the meat is delayed on the road, and it is not fresh enough, so you have to kill it on the spot and marinate it on the spot." ”

While talking, the three of them arrived at Yu Wan's house.

There was a dim light in Yu Wan's house, and it was Yu Wan who opened the door one step earlier.

Yu Song pursed his lips and snorted, "Then what can I do?" Could it be that we can kill ourselves? ”

The uncle looked up to the sky and sighed: "Now it seems that I have to kill myself." ”

As soon as the words fell, a muffled snort came from the backyard.

Several people looked at each other in confusion, and went to the backyard to take a look, but it was Yu Wan who smothered the pig with a stick, and then, she grabbed the front and rear hooves of the pig, threw one to the bench, held it with one hand, and quickly picked up the knife with the other hand.

The pig didn't even have time to suffer, so it was "exceeded" by Yu Wan.

The father and son were dumbfounded and swallowed their saliva in unison.

In the year that the girl disappeared, I'm afraid she was abducted to kill pigs......

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

In order to make the most delicious marinade, the uncle needs to boil the best quality marinade, Yu Wan also needs to cook the finest salt, and the Yu brothers went to the town as quickly as possible to buy the required ingredients, side dishes and rock sugar.

The ten catties of salt that Yu Wan bought will only be less than six catties after purification, so she asked the eldest brother and the second brother to buy an additional bucket of salt and soybeans used to cook salt.

Yu Wan handed the boiled salt to the uncle.

Uncle began to marinate pork, keeping half of it for the New Year to marinate it salty, and the one used to make braised pork was slightly lighter.

The eldest aunt also came to help.

The family hadn't been so busy for a long time, and the eldest aunt couldn't believe it when she looked at the meat all over the yard.

"You take it and hang it up, hang it in a ventilated place." Uncle pointed to the meat in the barrel.

These are kept for the New Year.

"I know!" The eldest aunt went in good spirits.

Yu Wan's kitchen is too small to make so much braised meat.

Jiang stayed behind to take care of the two young children, and Yu Wan and the father and son went to the old mansion with the meat.

This night, the aroma of braised pork in the old house filled most of the village, and the villagers were in a commotion!

It was the second half of the night when all the braised meat was ready, and the three brothers and sisters were a little worried that the uncle would not be able to stay up at first, but the uncle was getting harder and harder, and in the end, he was more energetic than the three of them.

"Awan, try this." Uncle cut a piece of pork belly in the most tender sauce and handed it to Yu Wan.

The meat color of the sauce is crystal clear, the meat is full, the fragrant taste blooms layer upon layer in the taste buds, fat but not greasy, the marinade is like glue, salty and soft and glutinous, revealing a trace of just the right sweetness.

"How?" Uncle asked with a smile.

"Delicious!" Yu Wan said without thinking.

Uncle cut another large piece for her.

The two brothers were also hungry, so they came over.

The uncle also cut two slices for the two.

The two of them looked at the braised pork the size of a fingernail in front of them, and then looked at the big guy that Yu Wan couldn't stuff in the bowl, and the corners of their mouths twitched so much that they were about to have a stroke......

"Uncle, don't you make these pork belly?" Yu Wan looked at the meat that had not been put in the pot on the stove and asked.

Uncle smiled: "This is the next five flowers, the sauce is not the best, and it is the best to make crispy meat." ”

The lower pork belly is a piece of meat on the pork belly, which is evenly fattened and thin, and is most suitable for a crispy taste on the outside and tender on the inside.

When the uncle made a large plate of crispy meat, the fourth watch day also arrived.

Heavy snow fell in the middle of the night, leaving a thick layer of snow on the road.

A few people packed up their things, hired the village's ox cart, stepped on the snow, and creaked away.

Although it is a small market, it is not worse than a big market because it is close to the end of the year, but because of the snow, everyone arrives later than before.

Yu Wan found that the stall fee had gone up, which meant that the price of their vegetables would also go up.

That's not a bad thing.

Yu Wan rented two stalls in one go, one to sell braised vegetables and the other to sell game.

The uncle's legs and feet were inconvenient, Yu Wan took a stool for him to sit down, there were not many guests at the moment, and she and her two brothers were busy.

Yu Wan's crucian carp and winter bamboo shoots were sold a little famously, and after a while, repeat customers came over.

"Girl, it's you again, how is the fish today? New or not new? A fat aunt asked with a smile.

"Aunt Wu." Yu Wan greeted politely, squatted down, and scooped up a fat big crucian carp with her bare hands, the crucian carp shook its head and tail, and it was very fresh, "You still don't worry about the fish I sell?" It's cold, the lake is frozen, this is the last batch of fish, and we won't sell it this year after we sell it. ”

As soon as she heard this, the fat aunt decisively asked for five!

On the other side, the kettle stove was also set up, and the uncle slowly heated the marinade, and an attractive aroma of marinade slowly came out.

The fat aunt looked at the stall next to Yu Wan: "Is this also your family?" ”

Yu Wan nodded: "Yes, it was only out of the pot this morning, my uncle's skills are very good, I don't believe you can taste it." ”

Yu Wan cut a piece of fat and thin pork belly and handed it to the fat aunt.

The fat aunt stuffed the hot pork belly into her mouth, chewed it carefully, and instantly widened her eyes: "Ouch! How is it so delicious! Bring me a pound! ”

Yu Wan asked, "Do you want pork belly?" Or is it half a catty, half a catty? The price is about the same. ”

"How much is a pound?" The fat aunt asked.

Yu Wan said: "Selling others is 35 Wen, you are a repeat customer, and it is the first business today, I will charge you 30 Wen." ”

"It's so expensive?" The fat aunt was shocked.

To be honest, it is indeed expensive, but aside from the labor cost, their household is snowflake salt, and the cost of salt alone is much higher than that of its peers, and the price has been specially reduced in order to open up the market.

"Your stuff is more expensive than others!" The fat aunt complained.

Yu Wan said: "The workmanship is different, the cost of ingredients is different, and the price is naturally different. ”

Leng Buding was deducted a high hat, and the fat aunt was a little speechless, although it was a little painful, but she was not short of a few copper plates, and after hesitating, she still bought it: "You can give me something else." ”

"My braised pork skin is also good." Yu Wan cut half of the shiny flesh skin and gave it to her, "Did you bring a bowl?" Decorate the sauce for you, my sauce is not salty, you can mix braised pork, you can also stir-fry vegetables and rice, how to do it is delicious. ”

The uncle sat aside to collect the money, listening to Yu Wan say "my family" one by one, and laughed so much that his mouth grinned to the root of his ears.
