Candide in Chronology is on strike

Qin Xi has a big appetite and buys a lot of meat, but if she hadn't considered that there were a lot of people queuing up behind, she might have bought more. After all, compared to two yuan, two yuan, and five catties of pork on the black market, this fifty cents a catty Yes, just like picking up in vain.

But she must leave enough things for the people behind. If one is greedy and buys too much, so that the people behind have no choice at all, it will attract gossip and the eyes of caring people.

Originally, the three brothers and sisters were public enough in the village. They were the first educated youths to go out and build a house. It cost a lot of money to build that house. The reason why they were able to live in peace before was because her two older brothers looked tall and powerful. The big one is not easy to provoke.

She was afraid that they would be too flamboyant in the village. If they bought so much meat all at once, some unscrupulous people would target their house. Of course, now that Fangzheng and his young couple moved next to their house, the safety of the three brothers and sisters would naturally be more secure. Yes, if something happens, you can hear it over there.

The two sides can help and guard each other. Needless to say, this is a tacit understanding that they should have in secret. They, educated youths from outside, should watch and help each other.

When the brothers and sisters left, many people stared at the things in their hands, but after seeing that there were only four pig's trotters in the basket, many people with pregnant women at home breathed a sigh of relief. There were sixteen pig's trotters in total. There are still twelve left, which is enough for them to buy. After all, they will only buy one or two trotters to make braised pork trotters with soybeans for their pregnant daughter-in-law.

Of course, such mother-in-laws are still in the minority, and those who are mean like Li Dazui are also a minority. Most of them don't care about their daughter-in-law. They live and die by themselves. Whether they live or not depends on luck.

At this time, women have many births and many deaths. They often have eight or nine children, and in the end they can support only four or five, maybe one or two. Like that, luck is particularly bad.

After all, it's not because of poverty, there is not enough nutritional supplements during pregnancy, the mother's body is weak, and the situation of the fetus is naturally not much better.

In the end, those who can survive are often those who are strong and able to withstand the cold. Unless it is like Li Dazui's grandson Chen Jun, who has a seedling in a thousand hectares of land, otherwise in this poor family, how can there be so much food to feed him? His chubby body was not picked out from the mouths of other family members. You can tell by looking at his second uncle's family. Even pregnant women are skinny, let alone other people.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Tang Ying hurried over and looked at what Qin Xi had bought.

As for the pig's brain that was chopped in half in Qin He's hand, it was too bloody, so she refused.

"Qin Xi, wait a minute, if it's our turn later, what would you like to buy? Give me some advice, I really have no idea."

Seeing the pig's trotters, liver, pork belly and ribs in Qin Xi's basket, Tang Ying was envious.

She and He Yuan had a limited budget, and they pooled up two yuan in total, so they couldn't buy so many things from them.

"What do you want to buy, do you have no idea?"

Seeing her shaking her head, Qin Xi didn't know what to say: "Pork liver and intestines, if you have them, you can buy some."

"Then the pork ribs and trotters are also good. When it's your turn, buy the leftovers!"

She would buy pork liver because it can improve eyesight, and she would be blind at night, which is really annoying.

And the taste of pork liver is still very good, she quite likes to eat it.

As for the pig's head, if she didn't smoke bacon, she definitely wouldn't buy it, because it was too difficult to clean up.

As soon as he got home, Qin He pinched two pieces of oil residue to relieve his cravings, and then began to help Qin Xi clean up the meat he bought.

Qin Xi didn't think about stuffing sausages and smoked sausages until she got home. It's hard to take off the pig's cheek meat because it's raw. She can chop up the meat like ears and pig's cheeks, marinate it, and stuff it into the sausage. Tie it tight, it's simple, a piece of sausage is ready, it's really not difficult.

Moreover, the sausage takes less time to smoke than bacon, and the operation is simpler and easier, and the taste is better than pure bacon.

But she didn't buy powdered sausages, it was a small trouble, but it wasn't a big problem.

"Second brother, take this one dollar to find Tang Ying and the others. If you have any, ask them to buy us two catties of noodle sausage." Qin Xi handed the money to Qin He and said.

"What is this plan for?" Qin He asked doubtfully.

He has lived for so many years, but he has never seen anyone make sausages. Even the bacon is rarely smoked at home. Tie up the meat and hang it on the edge of the wood-burning stove. After ten days and a half, it is almost done.

As soon as people from other families come, the meat will be put into the pot directly, and then it will be eaten separately, and it will not stay long at all.

"Making sausage is similar to smoked bacon. You also need bacon, but you need to cut it into small pieces, stuff it into the powder sausage, and then tie the hole tightly with a rope. Like smoked bacon, hang these sausages and smoke them slowly with smoke until they are dried and become sausages."

Qin Xi doesn't like to smoke meat or intestines directly on an open fire. The meat roasted like that is dark and has a layer of pine smoke on it. Not to mention it is extremely difficult to clean up. Not to mention, if you use an open flame to smoke and barbecue meat, it is easy to burn the meat.

Although the sausage is smoked slowly with thick smoke, the speed will be much slower, but the sausage is not big, and it will be almost smoked in about four or five days, and this is still when the work is not started at night.

Use thick smoke, especially fire to slowly ignite the thick smoke produced by the fruit tree branches, that is, keep the branches unburned and ensure that there is no open flame. The sausage smoked in this way is golden in color and tastes different from other The sausage is very different, with a little fruity fragrance.

Compared with smoked and roasted bacon, people in Chenhui Village prefer to dry bacon. After marinating the pork with a lot of salt, choose a day with good weather and hang the meat directly on the clothes rail at home to dry. The bacon also has a special flavor. More importantly, as long as it is dried, the meat is very resistant to storage. If you see a little mildew in the bacon in the future, you can also take it out to dry in the sun to keep the bacon dry. , as long as there is enough water and enough salt, the meat will not spoil.

In addition, cut the meat into 1/4 the size of an adult's palm, roll it in a salt basin, sprinkle with chili powder, and place it neatly in a jar. This method can also preserve the meat for a long time. Jar meat, when you want to eat, use chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat, which can be used to stir-fry a large dish.
