Chapter 193: Killing Pigs
No matter how Qu Weiyang and Qiaolian persuaded her, the old lady refused to stay at Qu's house for the New Year.
Qiaolian also had no choice but to stay with the old lady for a while, and wait for the old lady to return to the Chen family when the year was over.
Otherwise, there are too many bad things in the Chen family, and the old lady will not be able to eat and live well when she goes back, and Qiaolian is afraid that the old lady will not be used to making trouble again.
Anyway, this year's New Year's Eve is late, and the days will be warm after the New Year, and the most feared thing for the elderly is winter, and it will be better as soon as the weather is warm.
The old lady also knew her daughter's hard work, so she didn't refuse again, so she stayed with Qiaolian to prepare things for the New Year.
Generally, after the Northeast people enter the winter, they like to wrap sticky fire spoons or sticky bean buns, and then make some pancakes, and people in winter do not like to get up early to paste cakes, generally hot sticky fire spoons or Shan pancakes to eat.
But Qiaolian was very busy this year, and the two went to Linjiang to take care of Qu Weiyang, and the family couldn't wrap the sticky fire spoon.
At this time, it can no longer be wrapped, otherwise it will be easy to break when the weather is warm and the outside is not freezing.
Don't pack sticky fire spoons, there are other things to do, not far from the New Year, the family always has to make a bag of tofu, steam a few pots of steamed buns, and kill pigs.
At the beginning of spring, Qiaolian took two little piglets and came back to raise them.
There are the buds that Qiaolian led the children to pick up last year, and then mixed with the bark pods of the beans, as well as rice bran and wild vegetables, etc., the pigs of the Qu family are really fast, and they are already about 200 catties in winter.
simply killed the fat one and kept it for the New Year, and the remaining one was killed in the spring of next year.
Qu Weiyang was still recuperating from his injuries, so naturally he couldn't go to the ground to kill pigs, so on the twenty-second day of the lunar month, Qiaolian invited the Zhang family to come over to kill pigs, and the big guys were lively and lively by the way.
Brother Zhang Wenguang and his brother Zhang Wenguang were used to doing this, and they got up early in the morning and grabbed a pig from the pigsty and tied it to a bench, and Zhang Wenguang took a sharp knife in his hand and stabbed the pig's heart quickly and accurately.
Poking the heart is faster than cutting the artery in the neck of the pig, and the pig dies faster and suffers less.
Although some people say that the blood in the pig's body cannot be released in this way, and the taste is not good, most of the countrymen still do this, and it is neat and effortless.
The pig howled twice, and then stopped struggling and stopped moving.
Jiakang Jiayuan saw the pig killing for the first time, and when the blood came out, Jiayuan was so frightened that she closed her eyes and didn't dare to look at it.
It's Fenglin Fengrong, I don't feel strange to see it every year, Fenglin quickly handed over the basin, and quickly caught the pig's blood.
"Let me tell you, this pig's blood is delicious, my mother loves to make blood sausage, and she made it with this pig's blood.
Let my mother do it later, and you can taste it too. Feng Lin took the blood while talking to Jiayuan Jiakang.
Big bone sauerkraut blood sausage is the most famous pig-killing dish in Northeast China, which can basically only be eaten by killing pigs at home.
In the past, when they were in Shijiagou, the grain yield was low enough to eat, and the Qu family rarely raised pigs.
Especially after Qu Weiyang left home, the life of the Qu family is not as good as day by day, it is good that people can barely fill their stomachs, where can they still raise pigs? So Jiakang Jiayuan and her two babies have really never eaten blood sausage since they were young.
Jiayuan didn't believe Fenglin's words a little, and shook her head while carefully removing the little hand covering her eyes.
"Brother Fenglin, you just fool people, the blood is sticky and fishy, how can it be delicious? I don't believe it. ”
Jiayuan is a little girl after all, she loves to be clean, and she feels uncomfortable when she looks at the bright red blood in the basin.
Fenglin, the kid has a simple temper, followed Zhang Wenguang, and he was not annoyed when he heard Jiayuan's words, but only smiled.
"You, just wait, wait for my mother to make blood sausages, and you will swallow your tongue when you keep the food."
As he spoke, Feng Lin took the pot containing the pig's blood aside, and then went to the barn to find sorghum straw, split it from the middle and fold it into a triangle, and stirred it in the blood.
This is to prevent blood clotting, and after a while, you will see red blood on the sorghum stalks, which are platelets.
In the process of stirring the pig's blood in the wind forest, the Zhang brothers over there had already used boiling water to fade the pig's hair very quickly.
Then disemboweled, took out the internal organs and put them alone, picked up the big knife to separate the pork, and divided it according to Qiaolian's requirements.
Over there, Qiao Lian and Qiao Juan Chun Tao were not idle, and hurriedly took the internal organs to clean.
The offal is also a good thing, but it can't be wasted, and it's delicious to eat when you clean it up.
"Second sister, these pig hearts, pig livers, and pig lungs, you can freeze them directly outside, and wait for the New Year to take them out and cook them, and you can add two dishes.
Let's wash the intestines and fill the blood sausage today, I'll do this specialty, and in the afternoon, we can eat the sauerkraut big bone blood sausage, and keep the rest. ”
Qiaojuan is a life-goer, and the Zhang family didn't come over to eat things that were deliberately harmed by big households, so without waiting for Qiaolian to speak, Qiaojuan helped calculate it.
"Sister, what Wei Yang means is that he wants to invite several families here in Shizuizi to come over and have a good time, after all, they have helped us a lot.
I think it's better to cook some meat, let's not be afraid of people coming to eat it, make it look better. ”
Killing pigs in the countryside is a top priority, and they usually invite three or five relatives and friends to come over to eat pig-killing dishes.
Qu Weiyang means that he has not been at home in the past few years, thanks to the help of relatives and neighbors, Qiaolian's mother and son can live a stable life, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity to invite the big guy.
Qiaolian also means this, so the pig killed this year is not sold at all, except for treats, the rest is kept for her own food.
Qiao Juan was also reasonable when she heard this, so she nodded, "Cheng, then listen to you." ”
Killing pigs is a happy event, everyone has a smile on their faces, no one is dirty, so everyone started to clean the pigs and unload, and put the frozen ones on the frozen ones, and the ones that should be left to eat are dealt with.
The pig's intestines were also turned over and rubbed four or five times with plant ash, soda and vinegar, washed with water, and then Qiaojuan went to fill the blood sausage.
The children all thought this thing was strange, and they gathered around Qiaojuan one by one.
I saw Qiaojuan tie one end of the pig's intestines tightly with a thread, and then stretched it open with an oil drain from the other end, and poured pig's blood with chopped green onions, minced ginger, salt, peppercorn noodles, fat meat and a little water.
All the platelets in the pig's blood are stirred out and will not coagulate, and with these materials, the boiled blood sausage will be extraordinarily smooth and tender.
After a while, a few blood sausages were filled, just as the water in the pot was boiling, the blood sausage was put in, and while boiling water, it was deflated with a needle.
Wait for the needle to be pierced and there is no blood, and immediately take it out, otherwise it will not taste good when the heat is too big.
The blood sausage was fished out and put in cold water to ice, the spring peach had already cut a lot of sauerkraut, and the big bones in the pot were almost boiled.
So with the soup in the big bone pot, put the sliced fat into it, and then put the sauerkraut, and simmered it on such a high fire, and after a while, the whole yard could smell the aroma of the sauerkraut fat and big bones.
The big guy couldn't help but sniffle and praised, "Fragrant, it's so fragrant." The second sister's pig is well raised, fat, and the fat is thick, and it must be fragrant. ”
