Chapter 24 Cooking
Shu Nuan noticed the parents who covered their children's eyes, and couldn't help but think of the scene when he watched the killing of New Year's pigs when he was a child.
At that time, she also came to join in the fun, and then the master covered her eyes and didn't let her look.
I still remember what the master said at the beginning: children should not watch too bloody scenes.
As for why, parents have their own opinions, but the result is that 'no viewing'.
Master Sun covered the pig's eyes with a handkerchief, and the sharp knife killed it directly.
I heard the pig let out a terrible scream, and then began to struggle.
Seeing this, the person who helped to press the pig's trotters hurriedly held it down.
Shu Nuan looked at the pig blood flowing out of the knife, and then saw that the knife in Master Sun's hand pressed hard into the knife edge, and then pulled out the knife suddenly, it was really a white knife in and a red knife out.
And the pig's blood was not wasted at all, and it all fell into the big basin below.
The pig slowly stopped struggling after losing a lot of blood, and after a little convulsion, it was silent.
At this moment, no one made a sound, and everyone watched quietly.
Shu Nuan looked at this bloody scene, but began to silently recite the recipe in his mind.
"Stir-fried liver and waist, spicy blood, garlic and white meat, spicy pig's trotters, braised pig's head, ......"
She paused slightly as she muttered about the pig's head, and a flash of thought flashed in her eyes.
"The master likes to drink two taels if he has nothing to do, you can buy a pig's head and go back to pickle it and send it to him."
Say buy, buy.
Shu Nuan turned her head and said a few words to her grandmother, and gave the other party all the money she carried.
When Wu Huihong went to buy meat, Shu Nuan motioned Shu Zheming to go to the side to play with her friends, while she waited in place.
Master Sun's family helped to carry the slaughtered pig to a large iron pot with hot water and roll it twice, and then quickly scooped it up and put it aside.
I saw Master Sun holding a pig-killing knife, dehairing the pig, and then began to divide the pork.
Shu Nuan has never seen Ku Ding Jie Niu, but I think it should be similar to the current Ku Ding Jie Pig.
I saw Master Sun carrying a pig's trotters, the knife in his hand turning back and forth, and a pig was quickly dismembered.
The man, who was called the second uncle by everyone, commanded his family, quickly loaded the pork into the basket, and then asked two people to help carry it home with a flat pole.
After this pig was processed, Master Sun seized the time to start the second pig to be processed.
As soon as the second pig was pressed onto the stone slab, the onlookers cast their eyes one after another.
Shu Nuan also cast a scrutinizing gaze, this one was obviously much smaller than the previous one.
"This is Shu Guoqiang's family, right?"
"Like, I see their family is guarding over there."
"But that's too small, isn't it? At most, a hundred catties, there is no such small meat. ”
"His family is reluctant to feed food, so they feed some pigweed, how can they grow fat."
The crowd of onlookers came to the sound of conversation one after another, and these people looked like they had come to join in the excitement in previous years.
In the village, everyone knows who raises poultry well.
Shu Nuan listened to the gossip of these people beside him, and couldn't help but look sideways slightly.
After noticing her gaze, the few people who were talking nodded and smiled at her, and continued to gossip.
"His pigs have all been raised as athletes, and they have to jump out of the pigsty every once in a while."
"Wouldn't it? Pigs can't jump very high, don't his pigsty be short, right? ”
"Where, haven't you been to his house to see, the fence of the pigsty is much higher than mine."
Subsequently, the conversation of these people gradually shifted from other fences to how to feed pigs.
Shu Nuan listened silently for a while, and slowly shifted his gaze to Master Sun, who was killing pigs.
The pig, which was jokingly called by everyone with motor cells, soon became the second pig under Master Sun's pig killing knife today.
The Shu family's pig has their share.
Shu Nuan was unable to move and did not step forward, so Wu Huihong took Shu Zheming to take the initiative to come over.
After waiting for a while, it was finally time for the family who was going to sell the pork to kill their own pigs.
That family is the neighbor Uncle Yi, his family is not large, but the family has two sows with cubs, in addition to selling piglets at the beginning of spring every year, it is now this time to sell pork.
Uncle Yi is naturally also surnamed Shu, but Shu Nuan has called each other like this for so many years, and he really doesn't know what the other party's full name is.
In fact, in addition to the older generation, many of the younger generation in the village are unclear about the full names of those elders in the same village.
Uncle Yi is 65 years old this year, has a son and a daughter, the daughter married outside the mountain, and now lives with his wife and son Shu Jungui.
After buying pork, Shu Nuan greeted the old man who was surrounded by a large group of people and said, "Uncle Yi, let's go back first." ”
Uncle Yi noticed her crutches and tapped his son beside him.
"Jungui, with us watching here, you can go and help your sister Shu Nuan send these pork back."
Shu Jungui, who was already in his forties, stretched out his hand and scratched his hair, and said to Shu Nuan happily: "Sister Shu Nuan, I'll send you back." ”
"Thank you, Brother Jungui."
Shu Nuan smiled first and thanked him.
The things I bought today are dozens of pounds, and it's really not easy to move back.
Now they are an old man, a young and a wounded, and it is really difficult to move these dozens of catties.
With the help of someone, the basket that was full of money was transferred to the other party's back.
And the back basket, which was a little heavy for Shu Nuan and the others, was carried behind Shu Jungui very easily.
The way back was not far, and a few people talked and laughed and soon arrived home.
Wu Huihong helped put down the back basket and greeted her: "Jungui, drink saliva and leave." ”
"No, no, no. It's still busy, so I'll go first. ”
After Shu Jungui finished speaking, he hurriedly walked towards the outside of the courtyard.
Wu Huihong sighed: "Okay, see you later." ”
"Okay, I'll see you later."
Shu Jungui waved his hand and quickened the pace of progress.
After only the grandchildren were left, they began to pack up the pork and offal they had brought back.
But it was already past noon, Shu Nuan motioned for the other two to rest first, and got up and went into the kitchen.
Ten minutes later.
"Alright, come in and go."
Considering that it was already past noon, cooking was too time-consuming, so I hurriedly cooked a bowl of noodles.
But even a simple bowl of noodles will become unusual after passing through her hands.
The white noodles are sprinkled with green onions, and a yellowed poached egg lies on top.
The simple egg noodles were bubbling with a mouth-watering aroma at the moment, which made Shu Zheming, who was already hungry, pick up the bowl and eat it with a snort.
While eating, I didn't forget to praise loudly: "Well, what the eldest sister makes is delicious." ”
"Well, if it's delicious, eat more."
Hearing this, Shu Nuan smiled gently.
