Chapter 8

Song Yiren took Yinyin back home, arranged for Xiaotuanzi to play in the yard, and he could see her anytime, so he was busy working on the stove in the yard.

Boil the water, soak the pig's bottom in the water, put the pig's trotters on the fire, and burn all the remaining pig hairs.

Another large basket of plant ash was picked up and used to scrub the pigs into the water.

Song Yiren boiled a large pot of water with a large stove, took out a large basin for washing clothes, scooped out more than half of it and let it dry to soak in the pork offal bought for three Wen this afternoon, and washed the canna leaves picked by the river.

People in this era generally use flour and salt to clean pig offal, and they need a lot of flour and salt, otherwise they cannot remove the fishy smell of pig offal.But as a modern food blogger, Song Yiren knows that plant ash is not only cheap and easy to get, but also more effective.

After they were all processed, they were put in pots and put into the cellar at home that had not been used for 800 years—although it was fresh that day, but it was summer at this time, and people in Song Yi were afraid that it would spoil if left overnight.

Fortunately, Songjiazhuang is located in the north, it is cool at night, and the temperature of the cellar is naturally lower than that of the ground, so there is nothing to worry about.

At Chenshi the next morning, Song Yiren got up on his own.Over the past few days, Song Yiren has gotten used to watching the sun get up and go to bed.

Not to mention, this habit is really healthy!These days, my body feels better than before!Yi Ren stretched energetically.

She figured that the family had only saved two eggs in the past two days, which was far from enough to make omelets, so she had to temporarily postpone the plan of omelets.

But yesterday in the mountains, we not only picked fungi and wild vegetables, but also found some wild fungus, wild onions and wild garlic!

This thing is hard to find wild in modern times!That has to be called green organic food.Yi Ren picked a lot excitedly, until he felt that he might not be able to recite.

Fungus can be used as a vegetarian dish for mushrooms, fungus and eggs!Wild onions and garlic can be used to stir-fry pigs.

Yi Ren thought about it in his heart, roughly calculated the allocation, and the more than one catty of flour in his hand could probably make six or seven cakes.But for mushroom stuffing, the dough can be less. It is not a problem to make eight cakes, and the main one is thin and big.There is one catty of cornmeal, and the wild vegetables fried with lard are about the same as ten cakes
She found a water ladle, mixed it with warm water and flour to form flocculation, and kneaded it into a smooth dough. After kneading, she put the water ladle on the stove to keep it warm and wake up for a few minutes.

While waking up the noodles, she did not sit idle. She sliced ​​and diced the fungus and fungus, and the knife work was done in one go without stopping.If anyone else was around at this time, they would definitely be amazed at her good knife skills, which can only be achieved after many years of practice.

Yiren added more firewood to the stove, dug out half a spoonful of lard, and poured the beaten eggs into the pot. The lard moistened the golden eggs, and the fragrance wafted out for several miles.

She rummaged through the boxes and cabinets at home, and finally found two old water ladles that were not used, which could serve as bowls temporarily to hold the eggs out.

Then set the pot on fire, pour the mushrooms and fungus into the pot, and put some salt.

In fact, it is best to add a little soy sauce, which is modern soy sauce, but this has to be something that big restaurants and wealthy people can afford. some!
One day I must open a restaurant!I can put whatever seasonings and sauces you want!Yi Ren gritted his teeth and thought!
After frying and turning off the heat, Song Yiren poured in the eggs and stirred them in the big pot—there really are not so many pots and pans at home!

After busying with the stuffing, the noodles were almost awake, Song Yiren divided the dough into small doses according to the same size, and unexpectedly divided into nine!

Roll out the small jiaozi, wrap it with fillings, Song Yiren wraps it up like a steamed bun, and then flatten it, a vegetarian three fresh pie is complete!But after a while, the Su Sanxian white noodle cakes are all ready.

Yiren set up the pot again to burn the lard, stir-fried the wild vegetables, and then stirred the cornmeal, lard and wild vegetables together. There was no need to wake up the noodles and stuffing, just divide them into portions and make them into cakes.

The pigs that had been washed yesterday were taken out of the cellar and put into the water. The people of Song Yi still left the pig's trotters in the cellar and cooked them at night.Slice pig heart, pig liver, pig lung, etc., and cut pig intestines obliquely into sections.

Do not put any oil in the hot pot, throw away the large and small intestines with a lot of fat, and slowly boil the oil out of the fire.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the pig's large intestine and small intestine were slightly golden and oily, and the courtyard was filled with a burnt aroma.

Song Yiren poured the boiled lard into the previous jar with a large spoon, and the jar was actually full.

Leave the base oil in the pot, throw the sliced ​​wild onion and wild garlic into the oil, the crackling sound is accompanied by the fragrance of the onion.

Then put the sliced ​​pork heart and liver into the pot, and stir-fry over high heat.

After the pigs are cooked, roll up the leaves of the canna and divide them according to the type. Put ten yuan on each leaf, tie the seal with cotton thread, and put it in a basket.

"Sister Yiren, is your family eating meat today?" A sister-in-law who passed by Song Yiren's door warmly greeted her through the wooden door.

"It's just a little pig offal, how can I afford meat!" Song Yiren searched the original owner's memory. She is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ma family, Zheng's, who is not far from her home. I kept it short, so I didn't want to talk to her in detail, let alone let her into the hospital.

Seeing that Song Yiren didn't intend to say more to her, Mrs. Zheng rolled her eyes, turned and left. "No matter how good-looking she is, she won't be divorced by a man. This kind of woman is only worthy of eating some stinky pigs!"

Song Yiren saw that Mrs. Zheng was gone, so he put lard in the pot, put the pies and corn cakes wrapped in the pot, fried them until golden on both sides, and put them in a cloth-lined basket.

Both baskets were covered with white cloth, one to keep warm and the other to look clean.In the food business, the most important thing is to be clean.

After finishing everything, Xiaotuanzi got up just in the middle of the day, and Song Yiren left a plain pancake, which he shared with Xiaotuanzi.

Sending the small dumplings to Aunt Li, Song Yiren went to the town with two pancake baskets.

When they arrived at the pier, Song Yiren placed the two baskets under the shade of a tree closest to the pier, and the shout of "stop work" came out after a while.

Song Yiren immediately opened the basket and yelled loudly: "The pies made in the capital! The pancakes are oily and salty. Eat them to gain strength!"

"Delicious and cheap meat, only one penny for ten yuan!"

Some curious people came over to look at the pancakes, but they were attracted by Song Yiren's beauty.

"Little lady, you are so young, why bother to work?"

"Naturally, the family is poor, so I have no choice! Brother, would you like to try a pancake? It's delicious and not expensive. White flour pies cost two cents each, and corn cakes cost one penny each!"

"What did you shout just now? Is there salt in this cake?" The workers on the docks do physical work, and if they eat something with salt, their strength will be better.

"Of course, big brother, don't you believe me, buy it and try it?" Song Yiren took out a small piece of cake from the edge of the basket and handed it to big brother.This was prepared before she came. She cut a piece of cake into small pieces for everyone to try!
"Then give me a tortilla first!" The elder brother tasted the tortilla and found that there was salt in it. He nodded repeatedly, but he was more cautious and bought a cheaper one.

After I bought it, I squatted under the shade of a tree and ate it. I took a bite, but felt that the corn tortillas were different from those sold in other places. They had a meaty aroma, and they were not rough, and they did have a salty taste.The eldest brother lost a pancake after three times, five times and two divisions.

"Give me two more white noodles, what are they called?"

"Pies, brother, white flour pies, plain and fresh."

"Yes, yes, just this cake, give me a taste of two! There is also that ten piece of meat, is it really only a penny? What kind of meat is that?" The elder brother stared at the meat and said again: "My surname is Xiao, you can just call him Big Brother Xiao!"

The people around saw that the eldest brother bought two more pancakes, and they all gathered around to watch the excitement. As soon as they got closer, Song Yiren also lifted the white cloth on the basket in a timely manner, and the fragrance wafted out. It was delicious and not expensive, and everyone competed buy it up.

After a while, eight white flour pies and ten wild vegetable tortillas were sold out!
"Little lady, I haven't tasted that pancake yet, why do I make this?"

"Brother, don't worry, I will come back at this time tomorrow, and I will definitely make more! Today you can take a look at my ten yuan meat that only costs one penny."

"Then let me try this meat!"

People in Song Yi never mentioned that it was pig offal, because people in this dynasty considered pig offal to be unclean, and it wasn't when there was a famine in a famine year, and people with a little extra would not eat it.She listened to what her elder brother said to taste, and took out a pack of pig intestines that she thought should be the most delicious, and also tried it.

"Little lady, this looks like a pig's large intestine. Are you kidding me? This thing sells for a penny?"

"Brother, is there a fishy smell when you hold it in your hand?" The elder brother sniffed it carefully, and there was really no smell, so he shook his head.

"That's it, you have to try it! No money!"

When the elder brother heard that it was free of charge, he picked up a piece and chewed it with his eyes closed, but he didn't expect the taste to be surprisingly good.He opened his eyes immediately, and nodded while chewing. "Give me a penny!"

Seeing his reaction, the people around him were curious and wanted to buy it, but they were also afraid that it would be an unappetizing pig.

"Little lady, what is this, is it a pig into the water?"

"Yes, the elder brother bought pig intestines just now, but there is absolutely no fishy smell, and the smell of oil is overflowing. If you don't believe me, ask the elder brother!"

"Give me another copy of that! Is it also a penny?" The big brother who bought the intestines just now had no time to answer them, pointing to the pig liver in the basket and asked Song Yiren.

Everyone saw that he didn't have time to answer and paid again. Everyone was afraid that they would be like pancakes, and they would not be able to buy them after hesitation.

"Big brothers, today's ones are sold out. I'll come back at this time tomorrow!"

"You're selling here, have you paid the booth tax?" An indifferent male voice sounded from above Song Yiren's head. The booth was busy just now, and everyone scattered like birds and beasts.
