Chapter 96: Lap-mei
You...... You people dare to slander Xiucai like this, you ...... You wait for me! ”
When the woman saw that there were two people from Jiangxi's side, coupled with Zhang Butcher's disdain for the two family members she brought, she knew that she was not the opponent of these people, and if she continued to stay, she might be bullied herself.
The so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, the woman thinks that these words must not be understood by these Tufuzi, she follows her family's talented master, who has read some books, so she will not worry about these Tufuzi.
At that moment, he ran away in a puff of smoke.
When the two family members she brought saw her running away, they didn't care about smashing the butcher's stall at this time, and they all slipped away with their tails between their legs.
As soon as they left, Zhang Butcher snorted: "It's really a chicken feather as an arrow, a talented lady, and she still doesn't take people seriously." ”
After speaking, he looked at Jiangxi, "How about the girl, I'll let you come over early, look at this pork, you almost can't keep it."
But you girl, what are you doing when you buy so much meat back, even if it won't be bad in winter, it doesn't taste as good as fresh meat, you say you buy so much, you can't eat it next year, isn't it a waste? ”
It is also because Jiangxi often buys meat here that the Zhang butcher will say these heart-to-heart words, if you want to change the virtue of the previous woman, no matter how much you buy, as long as you can sell it, the Zhang butcher will be silent.
Jiang Xi smiled at Butcher Zhang: "Uncle Zhang, I know you mean well, but I will take this meat back for other purposes." If I do well, you might be able to sell your pork very well next year. ”
Jiang Xi is a child with ideas, and those who are a little familiar with their family know this.
Hearing Jiang Xi say this, Zhang Butcher's eyes showed a light in his eyes.
"Girl, what you said is true? If you can really make something special to make my meat sell much better next year, then I will give you the cheapest price when you buy meat from me! ”
"Okay, Uncle Zhang, I'll write it down, and by this time next year, you must not be fooled!"
"You, Uncle Zhang, and I have never told a lie."
While the two were talking, Zhang Butcher cut the meat that Jiang Xi wanted into small pieces according to the size she said, and cut a knife on it, which was also required by Jiang Xi, and the time should be used to hang the bacon with a rope.
The meat was marked down and weighed, a total of about two hundred and twenty catties, in addition to the meat, there were also some large intestines, small intestines and pork liver, which were all given to Jiangxi by Zhang Butcher.
After all, these are negligible compared to the price of the meat.
After giving the silver, Zhang Butcher also helped Jiangxi carry the meat onto the flatbed.
A flatbed truck that was not too small, it was rigidly stuffed with things, and Jiangxi was also helping to push it behind.
When they returned home, when they saw so much meat, Li and the old lady were stunned.
"Xi'er, why did you buy so much meat, this thing is a lot of money, even if our family is rich, it is not used like this."
Six dollars a pound of pork belly, a total of one or three dollars of silver, sounds extravagant.
For one or two or three dollars of silver, ordinary people can eat and drink for half a year.
"Mother, it's useful for me to buy this meat, don't think I use a lot of money, when I make this meat, you may think I buy less."
Li didn't believe it, but the meat had already been bought, so there was no other way, so just leave it to Jiangxi to tinker with.
Left and right, now there is still some silver at home, and the crops in the field are growing well, even the vegetables in the vegetable field are green, and their family can be regarded as worry-free.
The premise is that God is willing to give food, and there will be no major drought or flood.
However, their place has not had those disasters since ancient times, but it can be regarded as a treasure land, so this place is also expensive.
Unloading things from the car, if it weren't for the greens in the basket, Jiangxi would have almost forgotten about it.
"Yuan Xiu, you take a hoe and a wooden barrel, come with me."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Xi carried the big basket and ran quickly towards the ground.
Although Yuan Xiu didn't understand what she was going to do, after hearing her words, he went into the house and picked up the farm tools, followed her and ran to the field.
"Hey, these two kids." The old man shook his head and smiled.
The corners of Li's mouth also showed a smile, there was one more person in the family, and their days were much more lively.
"Dad, you can rest for a while, and then these grains will be slowly moved in. Now that the sun is out, there is no rush for this time. ”
As he spoke, Li took out a large basin from the house, scooped a bucket of water out of the well, and began to wash the meat he had bought.
In the greenhouse, Jiangxi and Yuan Xiu were also busy, Yuan Xiu dug a pit, and Jiangxi planted vegetables in it. After planting, the two of them also went to the river that had not frozen for the time being to scoop a bucket of water out for irrigation.
"Xi'er, can you survive if you plant this?" Yuan Xiu asked while watering.
Jiang Xi glanced at Qingcai carefully, and then shook his head: "Actually, I don't know. But I always have to try, I believe that the greens that can survive the wind and snow before can't be so weak. ”
"You have a point." Yuan Xiu watered even harder.
After planting the vegetables, when the two returned with baskets, barrels, and hoes, Li had already washed half of the meat.
Jiang Xi ran over with a smile on his face.
"Mother, you're washing, I'll come and help you."
In winter, the water in the well is very warm, and even washing meat becomes a pleasure rather than a job.
After the meat was washed, it needed to be cleaned again, Jiangxi was cleaning, and Li began to wash the pig's large intestine.
When he took the large intestine, Li saw that there was still a transparent small intestine inside, so he asked, "Xi'er, why did you buy this thing, what is the use?" ”
Jiang Xi looked up and saw that it was the small intestine, which she hadn't discovered before.
"Mother, this is not bought, the large intestine and small intestine and pork liver were all given to us by Uncle Zhang, by the way, don't move the small intestine first, leave me to wash it for a while, this thing is very useful."
Jiang Xi, who didn't plan to make sausages, temporarily changed his mind at this moment.
The pig small intestine is an indispensable raw material for the small intestine. As long as you have it, and then you have meat, you can always put it out.
Li washed the large intestine and took it to the kitchen, the main dish at noon today is braised fat sausage, and Li also plans to make a stir-fried pork liver.
Jiangxi washed the meat and divided it into four small piles to make a different cured meat.
The most of the piles are used to make smoked meat, which is also the most delicious one of bacon.
There are also sauced meats, regular versions of bacon, and sausages.
Smoked meat is not easy to make, not to mention the complicated process, and it also takes a lot of time to do one thing - smoked.
For comparison, the easiest thing is ordinary bacon, first marinate it with salt, and when the flavor is in, hang it on a bamboo pole and let it dry in the sun.
Simple is simple, but there are still many things to pay attention to, such as the amount of salt, which must not be missing, once it is less, then as soon as this winter passes, the meat will rot. But it can't be too much, otherwise you have to eat a mouthful of salt, and the proportion must be mastered.
Another point is that it must be dried, otherwise it is estimated that it will not be able to eat this winter, and it will be moldy.
Compared with bacon, soy sauce is different in only one procedure, one is salted, and the other is marinated with soy sauce and various spices such as ginger, onions, garlic, etc., so that the meat is darker in color, and the taste is rich, and the mouth is full of fragrance.
Jiangxi first marinated the three piles of meat, leaving only the part that was made into sausages, which were to be minced first and then accompanied by seasonings, salt, ginger, onions, garlic, peppercorns, and chili peppers.
After dinner in the afternoon, Jiangxi took the old man up the mountain with her to cut some branches of cypress trees and came back, and the special thing about smoked meat was that it could only be smoked with the branches of this tree.
It took two or three days for these cured meats to finally hang in the courtyard of Jiangxi's house one by one.
If it weren't for the winter, almost no one in the village would go out, and Jiangxi would be a little worried. After all, there is so much meat, and if you can't keep it, you will have the intention of stealing.
On the day of the Winter Solstice Festival, Jiangxi's family steamed a big pot of steamed buns, and the family sat around and ate happily.
Just as they were eating, an uninvited person knocked on the door of her house.
The sound of "dong dong" sounded, and the action of the family eating was a meal.
Jiang Xi jumped up from the stool, "I'll go see who it is." ”
Wearing cotton clothes, the speed is still very fast, mainly because it is too cold outside, Jiang Xi just wants to see it and hurry back.
Even if the sun shines on his body, he still can't resist the cold breath.
When she arrived at the gate, she wanted to pull the bolt of the door, but she suddenly had a heart, and then glanced out at the small crack in the door.
"Hiss......" Jiang Xi gasped, thinking that it was good that he didn't open it.
Where is a person from outside, it is clearly a family.
Her second aunt and grandmother, who brought all the people in the family to their house for dinner.
Winter Solstice Festival, do you want to come and eat delicious food, or do you have other intentions?
Jiang Xi looked back and glanced at the meat hanging in her yard, yesterday she found that someone was sneaky and stood in front of her house for a long time, and the snow in front of the door was stepped down a lot deeper.
Scold! This family, really like rats, is hiding in the shadows.
I didn't open the door and ran straight into the house.
"Don't eat it, hurry up and clean up, my second aunt and their family are here, it seems that they are still coming for our meat." We're going to collect it, but we can't let them take it! ”
After saying that, she went to the kitchen and got a big wooden basin out, ready to go to the yard to pack all the bacon and sausages.
