When Lin He woke up, it was almost dark, and he reacted to how he had fallen asleep, so he turned over and hurriedly got up.

"Brother Hui, Yu'er Hao'er, what time is it now, where are the aunts?"

"Everybody's back." Li Yu came out of the kitchen with a bowl.

"Mother, you finally woke up, uncle and grandmother said that you drank a lot of wine at noon and got drunk, now you don't feel uncomfortable, right?"

"This is warm water, Dad asked me to prepare, saying that you will be thirsty when you wake up."

Lin He took the bowl, it was still warm, his mouth was dry, and he finished a big bowl in one go.

"What about your father? Why are you alone at home? ”

Looking around, the yard had been cleaned, there was no trace at all, even the blood stains had been wiped clean.

It's not dark yet, but it's getting sooner, probably in the middle of the unitary hour.

"Uncle and grandmother, they marinated all the bacon in the afternoon, and then poured sausages together, after the uncle and grandmother left, my father said that he wanted to buy some tofu and come back to make pig blood balls."

"Hao'er An'er didn't go out to play all day, and it was very noisy, so my father brought them all with me, so as not to disturb my mother's rest."

Lin He pinched his eyebrows: "Drinking and making mistakes, it seems that you can't be greedy for a cup in the future." ”

Today was so happy that I got a little carried away for a while.

Thinking of the sausage, he asked Li Yu to take him to see it.

The sausage made by the eldest aunt, she is not worried, when she first arrived in the village before, she ate the sausage made by the uncle's mother, and the taste is very good.

It's a pity that I fell asleep, otherwise, I could learn the recipe of my aunt's sausage.

After all, she hadn't made any of these things before, she just knew a rough idea, seasoning or something, and she hadn't tried it.

The sausage hangs under the eaves outside the kitchen, just on the tuyere, this does not need to be pickled, it is dried for a few days, and then it can be received in the house, and then smoked.

"I've done so much, and I'll be blessed with it from now on."

"It looks like eight pounds of meat." Li Yu remembered what his uncle and grandmother said.

"Really, it looks like a lot."

However, Lin He didn't delve into it, and stretched his waist: "Let's cook first, your father and they should come back in a while." ”

There is a tofu shop in town, not far from them, a quarter of an hour's walk away.

"The leftover dishes at noon, in addition to the ones specially taken home by my aunt and grandmother, some of the rest, my father also asked my uncle and grandmother and my aunt to take them back, leaving only a bowl of wild goose soup and a bowl of pheasant soup, and my father said that you can eat at night just by getting some food."

The bowl Li Yu said is not a rice bowl, but a sea bowl, the soup is watery, there is not much meat, mainly because there are a lot of side dishes in the soup.

There was still a lot of rice left at noon, and when Lin He got up, Li Yu was steaming the rice, which was already steaming.

I looked around, and I haven't eaten the bean sprouts I bought yesterday, so I simply fried them all, and I'll be old tomorrow.

The bean sprouts were originally made with water, and they were not dirty, so they were simply washed twice, some mung bean skins were skimmed off, and after filtering the water, they were about to ask Li Yu to light the fire, when they heard the movement of two children outside.

Lin He hurriedly went out and happened to see Li Changhui locking the door.

However, seeing Li Changhui's empty hands, he couldn't help but be a little strange: "Didn't Yu'er say that you went to buy tofu?" ”

"I'm just going to order tofu, I've been busy all day today, and I may get up late tomorrow, I'm afraid that the tofu will run out, and I need fresh pork to make pig blood balls, so I've just decided it, just go and get it tomorrow."

"Well, I overslept in the afternoon, and I didn't help either."

"It's not easy for you to cook in the morning, just take a break."

Lin He asked the father and son to wash their hands and rest first, and they could eat immediately.

Two or three stir-fried dishes, heated the soup, beckoned everyone to eat, not to mention other people, she herself was hungry.

I won't drink tonight, and the leftovers at noon will be solved, Li Yu and Li Hao brothers will wash the dishes and boil hot water, and the two of them still have something to do.

"These internal organs haven't been cleaned up yet, how to get a piece of pork liver, pig heart and pork belly? Have you eaten these two days? The eldest aunt suggested that it could be marinated with meat and eaten during the Chinese New Year. ”

There are only ten days left until the Chinese New Year.

Lin He looked at the big pot and took out the pork kidney: "It's better to eat fresh this, let's marinate the rest first, and eat it slowly in the future, it's so good to eat these days, eat it for a few days." ”

Recently, the weather has been cool, and these things can be left for a few days with a little salt.

When I was cooking today, I heard my aunt chatting about how few people in the village killed pigs by themselves, and even if they did, they would not keep all the pork, but would sell a large part of it, and keep twenty or thirty catties for themselves, which is already a lot.

The uncle's family is already wealthy, and during the Chinese New Year, he is only willing to make two or three catties of sausages.

Like them, who don't sell any meat at all, and keep all of them to make bacon by themselves, they can only say that they have never seen it, at least they haven't seen it.

Lin He said that he understood that in these years, a pig is worth more than a person, and of course he would rather sell it.

As for what their family does, that's their own business.

The two of them cleaned up the entrails, refilled the pig's lungs with clean water, hung them under the eaves, put a wooden basin to receive water, and then took out the lard.

looked at the time, it was not early, thinking that Li Changhui had been busy all day, and hurriedly rushed to wash up.

"What about you? You don't sleep? ”

Lin He was helpless: "I slept all afternoon, and now I am very energetic, I can't sleep at all, instead of lying in bed and feeling uncomfortable, it is better to boil this lard." ”

Seeing that Li Changhui didn't move, Lin He simply went to help him scoop hot water to wash his face and take a bath: "Don't hesitate, let's rest, didn't you say that you want to go to the mountain tomorrow?" ”

"Alright then, if you're tired and sleepy, call me."

Boiling lard is inseparable from people, but there is really nothing to do when you can't sleep at night.

"Okay, okay, go wash up, there is a heavy smell of pork on your body, take a shower and change into clean clothes, don't get on the quilt."

It's okay if Lin He doesn't say it, but as soon as Lin He said it, Li Changhui himself couldn't help it.

Since I got up in the morning, I haven't changed my clothes, and I press the pig and shave the pig's hair, and I make bacon and sausage or something.

Hurriedly lifted the hot water, and deliberately carried two buckets.

Not only do you have to take a bath, but you also have to wash your hair, which she has been trying to ignore before, but now that she is mentioned by Lin He, she can't stand it for a moment.

Lin He saw with her own eyes that Li Changhui's calm face was cracked for a moment, and she couldn't help but want to laugh in her heart, she used to see Li Changhui picking dung and watering the ground, and thought he didn't care about this.

I didn't expect to care so much about my image.

For a moment, I seemed to be in a good mood.

Well, it wasn't bad before, but it's better now.

Even when cleaning the lard, I couldn't help humming a relaxed tone, and my mood was very happy.

Under the dim candlelight, Lin He was complacent about boiling oil, cutting the lard into pieces and putting it in the pot, adding a bowl of water, simmering slowly over low heat, and the fragrance gradually came out.
