butcher's little man

After arriving home, Li Wenxuan put down the burden and went in to look for Li Amu. He had to ask his Amu to bring out a big board so that he could put the tofu on it and freeze it outside.

Tian Xiaoman arrived a little later than him, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Grandfather Li who was sitting on a stone table cutting window grilles and Li Yiran who was writing auspicious characters for couplets.

"Brother, your handwriting is really beautiful!" Tian Xiaoman looked at it for a long time, although he couldn't read well, he could still tell if it was good or not.

Li Yiran smiled, "My word is neat at best, not pretty."

"Isn't this pretty?" Tian Xiaoman called out, the ones his mother bought on the street in previous years were much uglier than this one, and they were also very expensive!

"I also think it looks good, brother, don't be humble!" Li Wenxuan also came out, "Let me see what you wrote, leaping horses take off to make a fortune, and smelling chickens dancing makes great achievements." It happens that next year will be the year of the rooster. It is in line with the New Year and coincides with Li Yiran's thoughts, so it is not bad.

There are also a few other pictures scattered beside it, such as "Five Grain Harvest", which is posted on the granary, "Liu Livestock is thriving", which is posted on the chicken coop, "Entry and Exit" is posted on the door, "Every year is safe" is posted on the bowl Cabinets and so on, each thing has a corresponding auspicious words.

Tian Xiaoman thought, it would be nice to have someone who studies at home!These things don’t cost money at all, unlike his home, there is only a lonely pair of couplets for the New Year, and some simple window grilles, and there is nothing else after that.

But after thinking about it, he became happy again. That Zhang Bin is a scholar, but he still has to buy Spring Festival couplets. His mother asked him to write and he would say something insulting to the gentleman.Tian Xiaoman doesn't know what is polite, but he knows that going to the latrine is definitely not a polite thing, is this also called insulting politeness?

After reading Brother Li's words, the two went to look at Father Li's window grilles. There are many styles and they all look beautiful.There are the most chickens in it, all kinds of chickens, reminding everyone that next year is the year of the rooster all the time.

"Father, can you cut people?" Tian Xiaoman asked curiously.

"Yes," Father Li replied, and quickly cut out Tian Xiaoman's image.

Tian Xiaoman held it in his hand and looked at it carefully, it looked like him! "Can you cut another husband?" Tian Xiaoman pointed to Li Wenxuan, who was always called Li Wenxuan's husband in a very serious way in front of adults.

Grandpa Li looked at the two of them and thought to himself, this young couple has such a good relationship.Thinking in my heart, I can't stop holding hands, and after a while, I cut out two small people holding hands, which look very similar to them.

"Father, you are really amazing!" Tian Xiaoman praised, looking at this window grille with a smile on his face. He wanted to stick it on their bedside and see it every day.

Father Li is very happy, he has been cutting it for many years, and he has never been praised by others, so he is still happy to raise a brother.

Li Wenxuan watched Tian Xiaoman bouncing back to his room, and sat down in front of Father Li, "Father, I want to learn too!"

Father Li, "..."

After Tian Xiaoman posted it, he went out to have a look and found that it was almost noon, so he hurried to the kitchen to help Li Amu cook.

There are no vegetables in the vegetable garden in winter, nothing more than Chinese cabbage, radish and so on.Tian Xiaoman was almost tired of eating, but he couldn't help it, he lived like this every winter.

Suddenly, Tian Xiaoman thought of the sauerkraut Li Amu had accumulated before, and hurriedly asked, "Amu, can you eat the sauerkraut?"

Li Amu thought for a while, "I haven't opened it yet, wait, I'll go and have a look."

After speaking, he ran to the sauerkraut jar in the corner, lifted the lid on it, and a strong sour smell that made people drool came out. Tian Xiaoman smelled it, and the saliva in his mouth couldn't be swallowed. Suddenly I feel that sour things are delicious!It must be Amuji's sauerkraut! It's so delicious!

Li Amu didn't feel it himself, he pushed aside the stone and looked, "Oh, it's really edible." Then he brought a wooden basin and took out two sauerkraut.

Tian Xiaoman took it and moved out to wash it. He wanted to eat it quickly!But what goes well with sauerkraut?Then, he thought of the fat sausage that Li Wenxuan brought back two days ago, let's make sauerkraut stir-fried fat sausage!

Tian Xiaoman gave the washed sauerkraut to Li Amu, and then went to search for the two fat intestines.But he couldn't find it after looking around, so he asked Li Amu.

Li Amu said, "I smelled pretty good, so I put it outside."

Tian Xiaoman went out to take a look, and sure enough, Feichang was hanging in a basket in the corner of the room!Fortunately, he didn't notice when he came in and out.

He took off the fat intestines, fetched a basin of water and prepared to wash them well.The well water was not only not cold to the touch, but also warm. Tian Xiaoman sprinkled a little salt in the water and it melted quickly.

There was some fat on the surface of the sausage, Tian Xiaoman was too lazy to use scissors, so he tore it off with his hands.Then, he took something with a cylinder on top and a hollow bamboo pole on the bottom, inserted it into the opening of the large intestine, and poured water into it.

The large intestine that has been filled with water is swollen, and then the water is released, so that the inside can be rinsed once.The next step is a very important step. Some people only roughly wash it, and then fry it in the wok. The smell is not worth mentioning!

Tian Xiaoman took a long chopstick, picked up the bottom of the fat sausage, and then poked it in with the chopsticks, turning the fat sausage over.

Sprinkle flour on top and knead the balls together with your hands until a lot of dirt comes out, then put them in salt water and do the same for another strip.

After soaking enough in salt water, rub it again, and then rinse it several times with clean water.

Tian Xiaoman took a look at the fat intestines, frowned and sniffed, and found that there was no peculiar smell, and felt a little better.

Then he walked in with his fat sausage, and Li Amu was surprised when she saw it, "Why is it so clean, it doesn't smell at all!" If the old ones could be washed so clean, they wouldn't have to eat them every time.Later, Father Li simply told him not to make this dish, because it would save too much oil and salt, so he gave it away afterwards.

Tian Xiaoman explained the method to Li Amu in detail, and proudly said that it was all taught by his Amu.

Then after boiling the water, he threw a few star anises and a few pieces of ginger into the water, and then threw the fat sausage in, boiled it first to remove the fishy smell.

While cooking the large intestine, Tian Xiaoman cut the sauerkraut into small pieces and put them on a plate, then chopped a few dried chili peppers and chopped some ginger.

The large intestine was cooked in a short while, and it was no longer a soft piece before. Tian Xiaoman cut it into small pieces after letting it cool.

After cleaning the pot, Tian Xiaoman put some oil in it, heated it up, poured red pepper and minced ginger into it and sautéed it until fragrant, then poured the large intestine and stir-fried it until it was fragrant.Since sauerkraut is inherently salty, Tian Xiaoman did not put salt in it, but poured some rice wine into it, which is also a good thing to remove the fishy smell.

When the large intestine was almost fried, Tian Xiaoman poured the sauerkraut in again, and then quickly stir-fried it with a shovel. For a while, the sour taste was mixed with some peppery flavors, and it smelled delicious.

Tian Xiaoman speeded up the stir-frying, then added a little water to it, collected the juice, and the frying was done.A big big bowl full came out of the pot, Tian Xiaoman swallowed his saliva, and hurriedly greeted them to eat, anyway, the rice was cooked, and other dishes were also fried by Li Amu.

Li Yiran took some food into the house in a small bowl, and then came out to eat with everyone.

Tian Xiaoman took a bite and put it in his mouth, sighed contentedly, he didn't know why he wanted to eat this so much today!

The rest of the chopsticks are also non-stop. They have eaten radish and cabbage for many days, and finally changed to a new dish, and it is so delicious fried. Who doesn't want to eat more?

Even Le Geer's hot little mouth is red, but he still keeps asking Li Amu for it!
