delicious farm girl

Chapter 190
The next day is the new year.

On a happy day, Li Er also came back.When the whole family gets together, everyone is in high spirits.

The weather was just right that day, although there was a bit of a breeze, the sun was so warm that people almost sweated on their backs.The whole family had a lively breakfast in the morning, and then drove a pig to Zhang Butcher's house in the neighboring village.

In the first half of the year, the family caught two little piglets. During the first half of the year, the first thing Quan Geer, An Geer, got up every morning was to prepare something to feed them. When he came back from school at night, he still didn’t forget to feed them dinner. From time to time, they would secretly feed them a few slices of cabbage and radish.Up to now, these two pigs have weighed more than 100 catties.Brother Zhuang's little tail often followed them, and the little guy was still chattering so much he didn't know how many words he had with the pig.

Now Su Ran and the others picked the fattest one and rushed to the neighboring village to kill it.

In fact, from the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, the village began to prepare for the slaughter of pigs one after another.By the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, almost all the people who should kill pigs have been killed.When Su Ran and the others came, Butcher Zhang had already been at home for several days.

Seeing Su Ran and the others driving the pigs over, the children in the village also came to watch.Brother Zhuang is full of strength now, and his energy is extremely strong, and he will play wildly with these little guys again in a short meeting.

Butcher Zhang pressed the pig on the chopping board and stabbed it steadily and accurately. The pig struggled a few times before lying there motionless.The deep wound on the pig's neck immediately began to bleed out. This time, Su Ran asked Brother Quan to bring a big wooden basin with him.As early as when Butcher Zhang went down with the knife, she had already put the wooden basin down, and not a drop of pig blood was wasted, all of it flowed into the wooden basin.The blood flowed for about a bowl of tea, and most of the basin was filled with it, and the blood finally stopped.

Su Ran was about to instruct brother An to move the tub away when Li Er strode over.As soon as he stretched his arms, he lifted the heavy wooden basin and sent it directly to Su Ran.

Su Ran looked at him, and quickly took out a small bag of salt that he brought with him, sprinkled it in, added some water, and stirred it gently with chopsticks.

"Let's go, go home!" She nodded her head again.

The man nodded too. "Okay." After the pig's blood was drained, Butcher Zhang and his little apprentice had already unloaded the pig from the chopping board and put it into the huge pot at the back.The pot was already half filled with boiling water, and the stove below was still burning.The next step is to scald the pig skin and shave the pig hair.

Su Ran and Li Er had no chance to witness this process.The couple quickly returned home with the pot of pig's blood in their hands.

Walking all the way back, I spent another cup of tea.Coupled with the fact that the weather is cold now, by the time they got home, the pot of pig blood had already started to coagulate.Put it on for a while, and the pig's blood will gradually take shape.

Su Ran picked up a knife and cut the pig's blood in the basin into several large pieces, then poured it into a pot filled with clean water.Turn on the fire on the stove, simmer on low heat, and gently stir the water in the pot with a spatula, so that the pig's blood is heated evenly.

After a short time, the pig's blood in the pot has been cooked, and it is tender and smooth, with an excellent texture.

Su Ran hurriedly told Li Er to turn off the fire, and she picked up the cooked pig's blood and soaked it in cold water. This pot of pig's blood was treated temporarily.

As soon as he was done with this, he saw Angle running in with a big basin in his hands.

"Sister, here you are!" Throwing the big basin in front of Su Ran, he had already run away again.After living for so many years, it was the first time the family slaughtered a pig. He wished he could stand aside and watch the whole process.If it wasn't for Brother Quan insisting that he send back these pig offals, he would really be reluctant to leave.However, even if he came back now, his heart was still there, of course he refused to stay for a moment, left his things and ran away quickly.

Now the basin is full of pig intestines, pig heart and lungs, etc. It is another big basin.

Dealing with these things is much more troublesome than pig blood.Su Ran immediately rolled up her sleeves and got busy with Li Er.

Fortunately, knowing that their family slaughtered pigs today, Osmanthus mother and Osmanthus mother and daughter also came to help.With the help of the two of them, they finished the pot of things by noon.

And when all this was done, Brother An and Brother Liang, brother Qiu's man, had already returned.The three of them carried a large door panel together and walked in unsteadily.Put the door down, and there are two pork belly on it.In the past half a day, the pig had been shaved clean, and according to the various parts of the body, the butcher Zhang skillfully divided it into several pieces, and placed them neatly there.The red and white meat is placed full on it, and it looks really festive.

Most of the families in the village can only afford food and clothing for the whole family, and the only one who can afford to kill pigs is the village chief's family.Half a month ago, everyone had watched the slaughter of pigs at the village chief's house.But now that half a month has passed, and now it's Su Ran's turn to kill a pig, the people in the village will inevitably come over to watch the excitement.Especially the little dolls, everyone stared at this big piece of pork, and couldn't help but start drooling.

Su Ran cut off a piece of fat and thin pork belly, cut it into thin slices and put it in the pan for frying.This time, there is no need to put oil in the pot. After frying the pork belly for a while, the lard will automatically overflow from the meat. Stop and poke your mouth.

Stir-fry the oil from the fresh pork, and then sprinkle a handful of wild vegetables in the pot. Now there is no other seasoning, just sprinkle a little salt, and the vegetables will be fragrant when they come out of the pot.

Su Ran picked up a small piece of blood tofu again, cut it into thin slices, and boiled it in hot water. This time, she didn't fry it, but directly added it to the small pot on the stove.In the small pot was Su Ran's soup made from fresh fish.The fish soup is milky white and delicate, delicious and fragrant.Not only the blood tofu, but also the cleaned pig intestines and liver are put in, and it is a small steaming hot pot.

Each person served a bowl of rice, sat down around the stove, and took whatever he wanted to eat out of the pot.If you feel that the things in the pot are too greasy, add a chopstick of wild vegetables.Otherwise, if you put the cleaned wild vegetables and radishes directly into the small hot pot to rinse, the taste will be completely different.

Although there are not many dishes today, they have everything that one expects to find, making the big guys sweat profusely and feel warm all over.

Brother Zhuang is over two years old, and the little guy has also started to learn how to eat.He didn't want Huang's to feed him, so he had to eat by himself.Su Ran moved a chair over, put his small bowl on the chair, and told him to stand by the chair with a spoon to eat.

Seeing that the little dolls in the village were all slobbering, she simply asked Quan Geer, An Geer, to bring these little dolls in as well, and each of them served a bowl of rice with a lot of vegetables in it. Just ask them to sit next to the chair with brother Zhuang to eat.

They are all from the same village, and it is very common for everyone to go to each other's home for a meal or something.What's more, now that it's the little ones eating, the adults don't care even more.However, there were still a few families who were afraid of offending Mr. Chen because of this incident, and took their children away desperately.Among them are sister Feng's parents.

Su Ran saw it, she just turned her head to one side, and continued to gently ask the little doll beside her what she wanted to eat, and then generously put it into his bowl.

After lunch, Su Ran will continue to process the meat in the afternoon.After all, with so much pork, it should be spoiled after just two days.It's just that it's almost the Chinese New Year now, the time is too rushed, and Osmanthus Mother and Osmanthus Mother and Daughter are here to help.Sister Qiu also came, but she had a big belly, Su Ran was worried about asking her to do too much work, so she just asked her to help pass things back and forth.

By the time most of the pork was marinated, Su Ran was already so tired that she could hardly straighten her waist.

Guihua Niang helped Su Ran put all the bacon into the jar, and she quickly wiped the sweat from her forehead. "That's it! Yesterday I was talking to Osmanthus's father, Mr. Chen is so black-hearted this time, he emptied all the money in your hands, how will you live your new year now! I just saw it today , just for this pig, you can live a very comfortable year this year! Then we can rest assured."

"Of course. Money is something outside of the body, so go as soon as you go. But now is the New Year's Eve, we will not treat ourselves badly, and we must live this year well." Su Ran said softly, and she rushed again Li Er smiled, "Do you think so?"

Li Erding nodded. "necessary."
