Hard work

Chapter 243 Making Sausages

Lan Hua'er thought about it for a long time, and saw that there were unprocessed pig intestines in the house, so she thought that she might as well use these to dry the sausages.Although she has never dried sausages in person, she often sees her elders doing this when she is at home.

Of course, in modern times, it is much more convenient to do this, at least you can buy casings directly, and you don’t need to wash pig intestines yourself.There are also some sausage enemas used for enemas, so there is no need to worry about breaking the casings or not filling them well.

In an environment like ancient times, it was much more troublesome to make sausages.

And the season for drying sausages should be autumn.It was dry and windy at that time, and it was easy to dry the sausages.But these days it has stopped raining, the sun is fierce and the wind is strong.Lan Hua'er thought about it, and felt that this matter should still be possible.

She kept an eye out and didn't plan to do a lot, but just tried a little first.

She had nothing else to do at home anyway.

In order not to waste the meat, she also specially smoked the meat first, so as not to spoil it.Usually, if something is broken, it will be broken, but now it is different, even a little food is very expensive.If she hadn't thought that the meat would have to be worked to preserve it, she wouldn't have dared to try making sausages at such a time.

Sausages are difficult to say, but they are actually not that difficult.But it is easy to say, but it is not so easy to do well.

The ingredients are all visible.It's nothing more than some sugar, salt, cooking wine, meat, and some ginger paste.Chop them all up and mix them together.The taste is adjusted according to the orchid's own taste, and there is no chili.It's not that Lanhua'er doesn't want to make it Zanglang's favorite flavor, but that there really aren't that many peppers at home for her to squander.

The more troublesome thing is washing the casings.

There are not many pig intestines at home.I used to cut some to stir-fry before, but now there are only a few left.The intestines must be turned over first, and all the oil in the intestines must be washed, washed into thin slices, and then dried.

Lan Hua'er is naturally reluctant to part with the lard in her intestines.

She can't eat lard for a few days on weekdays, so she dares to waste it.Although not a lot, the fat in the intestines was carefully peeled off, and it was ready to be mixed in the porridge at night, which was to add some oil and water.

The casing is also considered strong, as long as it is not pulled very hard, it should not be broken.Orchid was a little trembling when she first started making it.After she found out that the casing was very strong, she slowly let go of her hands and feet, quickly rubbed the casing with arrowroot powder, washed it and dried it.

When Gaihua came out, I was shocked when I saw those translucent casings floating around in the yard, so I ran to ask Lan Huaer, "My sister, what are you doing? What? It's scary."

Lan Hua'er didn't know how to explain sausages to him, and she wasn't sure if there were any sausages in this place, so she could only vaguely say that she thought of a way to make dry goods, and she didn't know if it would work, so she just thought about it. If you want to try it, it’s better to change the taste at home.

When she said this, she was still a little uneasy, for fear that Gaihua would think that she was wasting food.I didn't expect Gaihua to trust her very much. Hearing what she said, he just nodded and said with a smile, "The things my sister makes are naturally good. It's a pity that I can't get out now, and I'm stuck in the village Yes. Even if my sister cooks delicious food, she won’t be able to sell it for much money. Hey, let’s get full first. If you cook delicious food later on, I’ll have to work even harder to clean up the mountain road.”

Lan Hua'er didn't expect Gaihua to trust her so much, she never thought that she would fail and waste everything, so she couldn't help but feel a little stressed, and began to regret why she had to experiment indiscriminately at such a time .

"I don't know if it can be done..." Lan Hua'er was a little embarrassed, "Brother, either, I still don't do it. This is meat, if it is wasted, I... I'd better keep it for smoking. Wait later The weather is fine, and then..."

She only spoke halfway through, when Zang Lang came out from the house, scratched his head after hearing what she said, and asked her what was wrong.Lan Hua'er couldn't hide it from him, so she told the story slowly.She originally wanted to make something delicious to make Zang Lang happy.But of course this reason cannot be said.

Because of the reason at the beginning, I couldn't say it, so the whole sentence stuttered a little. Gaihua and Zanglang listened and thought she was really anxious about this, so they couldn't help rubbing their hands together.

"The little lady wants to do it, then do it." Zang Lang turned his head and looked at the sausage casings hanging in the backyard outside, "There is not enough meat, so I will kill it again. If the little lady wants to be happy, then do it. I will eat what I can eat." Eat it all. The little lady makes it delicious."

Although Zang Lang didn't understand what Lan Huaer wanted to do, he still trusted Lan Huaer blindly.Lanhuaer has made so much food before, and none of them are bad.In his heart, he didn't believe that Lan Hua'er would break things.

He was so worried before that the fermented bean curd made by the little lady was a strange thing, whether it would make people have diarrhea.But even the moldy tofu can be made so delicious by the little lady.Since then, he has never doubted again.No matter what it is, as long as it is in the hands of his little lady, it will definitely turn into a flower.

Gaihua's feelings for Gaihua are naturally not as deep as Zang Lang's, but he also believes that his younger sister is a good cook and has a lot of ideas, not the kind of person who will do things carelessly.Now that Lan Huaer has already made up his mind, he must be sure of success, so he also said, "Yes. If you want to do it, then do it. In this weather, no matter what It won't break either. It doesn't matter if it tastes good or not."

Lan Hua'er hadn't thought about making something, but now that the two of them talked about it, she suddenly felt pressured.Looking back at the sausage casings drying outside, and looking at the meat I put on the chopping board for cutting, I felt a little unsure whether I should do it or not.

She was still thinking about it in a daze, Zang Lang had already walked up to her, looked at the things on the chopping board, and asked in a low voice, "Little lady, do you want to cut it? I'll do it. Chop it all up?"

"Ah, who asked you to help." Lan Hua'er was amused when she saw that Zang Lang immediately picked up the kitchen knife, and quickly stretched out her hand to push him and drive him out, "What am I always talking to you about?" Come on, don't grab my job. Why are you like this again? I don't know what to do. I just want to do something at home because I'm in a hurry. You two wash up quickly Wash your face and go to work outside. Have you finished working in the fields and the mountain roads?"

Zang Lang was pushed by her, holding a kitchen knife in his hand, and he didn't dare to argue with her, so he could only obediently be pushed out of the door by her, and holding the knife blade of the kitchen knife with his back hand, he handed the handle to Lan Hua'er .

Lan Hua'er took the kitchen knife, and turned back to Gaihua, "Brother, I've packed everything for lunch on the table, you and Alang... no, let Alang take both. He looks like Be fierce, no one dares to grab his things. If you are hungry at noon, you can hide aside to eat, be careful to be watched. The water is also boiled and loaded, and the herbs given by the husband are mixed in it. You can just drink it yourself. Both Ah Lin and Brother Tiesheng sent herbal medicine over there."

Gaihua nodded, explained a few words to her, and then dragged Zang Lang out.

Yang Langzhong and Changwu got up later, and they were also shocked when they saw the sausage casings drying in the backyard when they came out.Chang Wu also asked with a smile, "Miss Zhao, are you trying to pretend to be a god or play a ghost?"

Lan Huaer poohed him and said, "I'm going to make something delicious, so don't eat it."

Changwu immediately changed back to that gentle expression, "That's not acceptable. Subduing demons and eliminating demons is the bounden duty of the poor."

It was the first time that Lan Huaer heard him call himself "Poverty".Deliberately want to gossip, but the things at hand are really busy.After Changwu said this, he probably felt that if he stayed to talk to Lan Huaer, he might really have nothing to eat, so he walked away with a smile, and Lan Huaer had no chance to say anything more.

These people are going to be busy outside, so naturally they don't stay at home.

Although Xiaodie kept it, she had to help with the cleaning, so she was busy walking around the house all day long.She looked at the casings curiously, but didn't ask any questions—I wonder if she had been thinking about it for a long time, and she couldn't figure out how to express her doubts in Chinese.

Lan Hua'er chopped up the specially selected wolf leg meat, mixed it with some fat, adjusted the taste, and then stuffed the meat into the casing.

Naturally, there is no funnel in this year, but it doesn't bother Lan Hua'er.

She found a piece of clean linen, scalded it with hot water, cut a small opening in the middle of the cloth, and then stuffed the opening into the opening of the casing to make a cloth funnel as suggested.In this way, as long as the meat is poured on top of the cloth, the meat can be stuffed into the casing.

The casing was very slippery, and Lan Huaer stuffed it for a long time, watching the length while stuffing it, and tied a knot on the casing with cotton thread.

At the beginning, Lan Hua'er didn't know how to make holes in the casing, and was still wondering why it was full of gas.Later, she saw that something was wrong, so she took an embroidery needle, pricked a few holes in the sausage casing filled with minced meat, and let the air escape, and it became the sausage she had seen before.

After filling the intestines in this way, they can be put behind to dry in the sun.

But just put it outside like this, Lan Huaer is always worried that people will see it and cause trouble.She simply threw another layer of dried Ula grass on top of the sausages.In this way, if you look outside, you will think she is drying grass.

In this way, although the sausage will dry slowly, it can also prevent mosquitoes, which is also a good way.
