262: Fat
Putting aside this matter, what Xin'er said is indeed right, and the New Year is very close. Fastest updateββ
"Brother, sister-in-law, don't think about this anymore, it's the fifth day of the lunar month, what should we do with our pigs? Do you keep it for yourself or sell it all? β
In fact, she already had an idea in her heart about this, but she didn't want the two of them to think about unhappy things all the time, so it could be regarded as changing the topic.
"What else can I do, the same as before."
I said it without thinking about it.
"Sister-in-law, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Xin'er first glanced at him, and then asked An Niang on the side.
"How were you guys before?"
An Niang was silent for a moment, and then asked.
"In the past, we sold a whole head, and the rest was killed and half sold, and half was left for our own consumption."
The Ding family basically raises two pigs every year, and when the conditions are not good at the beginning, they sell both, or keep a little for themselves, and sell the rest.
Later, when life was better, they basically sold a live pig, and then sold half of the pork, and the remaining half of the pig plus some sewer, and their brother and sister could eat it for a year.
"Then listen to your brother, just like before."
After listening to what Xin'er said, An Niang felt that this was also very good, so she agreed to what Youyi said.
"That's okay, but can we eat half a pig for three of us for a year?"
People in the village generally don't have anything to do and basically don't go to sell pork to eat, but pork is too expensive, and the worst pound costs ten yuan, which is much more expensive than rice grain.
Moreover, basically everyone in the village has pigs, and they rarely buy pork to eat, usually kill a pig at the end of the year, sell part of it like them, and keep part of it until the next year.
Moreover, this is still willing by the family, and the people with better conditions can do this, and those with bad conditions will almost all be sold as soon as the pigs arrive at the New Year.
"It's okay, if you don't have enough to eat, we can buy some fresh meat to eat occasionally, besides, it's okay to save some food, you can live before, why can't you live now."
"Okay, then it's decided, we'll sell it when the pig collector comes after a while, and buy two more pigs to feed after selling the money, anyway, I don't have anything to do, the circle at home is big enough, and there is pig food, and I can sell two more pigs for more money in the coming year."
Since An Niang came to the house, Xin'er found that she had nothing to do at all, and during this time, she could be regarded as finding something for herself to do in the future.
Maybe An Niang and Youyi both knew her thoughts, and they didn't object, they just said that they listened to her.
They didn't object, so they were naturally very satisfied, and they smiled and prepared to buy a few piglets in the future.
"Speaking of the Chinese New Year, there are still two days to go, what flavor of Laba porridge do you like to eat, sweet or salty?"
Knowing Xin'er's thoughts, An Niang didn't hold on to it, but instead asked about Laba in the next two days.
"Laba porridge, we didn't pay much attention to it before, it was cooked like porridge on weekdays, brother, what flavor do you like?"
For Laba, they didn't pay much attention to their hearts before, and they didn't pay much attention to the two of them at home.
"I can eat whatever I want, as long as I can eat it."
Youyi scratched his head and thought about it, but he didn't have any ideas after thinking about it for a long time.
"Then sister-in-law decides, we will eat everything and not pick."
Looking at the two people in front of her, An Niang suddenly felt a little sad.
In the past, although she was a person for others, she was called by others.
But I have to say that the previous master family is still very good, as long as they don't make mistakes, they are still very good to them, and they are rewarded for doing things well.
Especially these festivals or something, although they can't say how good they are, but the government will never forget them.
"Okay, then I'll take care of that."
An Niang rubbed her sour nose and said with a slight choked voice.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"
Her tone changed, and her heart was a little worried.
"I'm fine."
"Is it really okay, sister-in-law?"
"Really, I'm really fine, don't worry."
Looking at the worried eyes of the two of them, An Niang quickly sorted out her emotions.
"It's okay, sister-in-law, you must tell us if there is anything, don't hold it in your heart, suffocate people."
"yes, I know."
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Laba has arrived.
On this day, An Niang made two flavors of laba porridge, sweet and salty, she made a big pot, and sent some to the old house and close people, and the Feng family was naturally no exception.
The Feng family was very close, just a few steps away, and Xin'er volunteered to send it.
An Niang was a little hesitant at first, but after thinking about it, she agreed, and they also had to send several more.
Of course, there is another reason that Xin'er hasn't been out for a long time, and she can see that she wants to go out very much, because Zheng Zhi locked herself at home, she can see that she is not very happy, and she thinks it is okay to go out once in a while.
After another two days, the pig collector came, and Xin'er's pig was sold, and he also asked him to kill and pull away half of the remaining pig in the family, and the remaining half was left with the pig's internal organs.
Send some to the old house, and the rest are salted except for the ones that have been eaten recently, and even the pig heart, pig liver, and pig water are salted and dried.
Over the years, Xin'er has also thought of a lot of ways to preserve and dispose of these things.
Don't talk about the rest, just talk about these pig offal, all the oil and foot oil are boiled and put on the jar, and the oil residue that is boiled out is sprinkled with salt and put it in a small basin, and you can add some when you cook soup and stir-fry vegetables in the future, and the dishes are also very fragrant.
Pigs, small intestines, pigs, large intestines, pork belly, these are washed and blanched with boiling water, smeared with some salt, dried and put away, and boiled and fried in the future.
Of course, you can also eat it when it is fresh, just kill the corners of the pig once enough for them to eat for several days, and these things will be bad if they are left untreated.
Other pork livers, pig lungs, pig heads, etc., are washed and marinated like cured meat.
Killing a pig, it took their sister-in-law a whole day to deal with it, mainly because An Niang was not very familiar with these things.
After killing the pig, the time before the New Year is even shorter, this day looking at An Niang who is working in the kitchen, her heart suddenly has some doubts, why does she think that her sister-in-law has gained weight during this time?
"Sister-in-law, how do I think you seem to be a little fatter?"
When I think of it, I ask, this is the way I treat people close to me.
"Ah, do you think that too? I also feel like I'm a little fatter. β
An Niang was also aware of this, but she asked Youyi before, and Youyi said that she was not fat, but she was too careful, so she didn't say anything.
But now that Xin'er asked her, she didn't believe her father-in-law's words so much.
"Well, it feels like I'm a little bit fatter than before."
