butcher's cook

?? "I heard that you asked the big cousin to save two pigs to marinate bacon. How did you marinate so much? Can you finish it?"

?? "Who said I ate it myself? The big head is used to stuff sausages, and the rest is used to marinate bacon."

"No." If Bai Ning meant bacon, Tan Ming didn't have such a big reaction, but sausage...

??Thinking of its taste, even if he is not as picky about food as Tan Ming, he would think it is not very tasty.

?? "What's wrong? Such a big reaction?"

?? "Brother Ning, listen to me. The taste of the sausage is really not good, and it is sour."

??Bai Ning saw that he didn't look like a fake, but he had eaten sausages himself. The spicy ones were spicy and delicious, and the Cantonese ones were sweet ones, but they were very good for the New Year. How did they have something to do with being unpalatable?

?? "Are you afraid that what I eat is different? I remember that the spicy one is delicious, and the sweet one is also delicious. Why is it sour and smelly? I'm afraid it has been spoiled?"

??Tan Ming shook his head, "I don't know, it was my father who came back from the imperial examination one year. I heard that someone over there used pork intestines to make meat. It was delicious. I asked my mother to make some, but the taste..."

?? At that time Tan Ming was still young, about six years old, but he remembered the smell for a long time, even now he has not forgotten it.

??Bai Ning figured it out, "Has the inner lining of the pig intestines been scraped off, and is there any salt and spices in the meat?"

?? "... also put a little salt."

?? "It's probably a matter of method. The one I made is different from yours. After it's done, I'll put it in the sun for ten days. If possible, you can smoke it with pine wood."

?? With Bai Ning's explanation like this, Tan Mingyue understood it. It is probably that there is really something wrong with his mother's technique.

?? "Then it's up to you! The pig can be bought and we can kill it ourselves, and I can do it myself. The eldest brother is also busy now, so don't bother him too much."

?? "Also."

?? "Can you make ham?"

??Tan Ming shook his head, "No, I heard that ham is expensive, and ordinary people don't know how to make it."

??Bai Ning can't, but he has seen someone do it, so he plans to try it with two legs.

?? "Do you want to make ham?"

?? "Actually, I don't know how to do it. I only saw someone do it once. It's complicated but not complicated."

??Tan Ming made a final decision, "Then let's try it out."

??Bai Ning gave him a thumbs up, "As expected of a pig butcher, what you said is true, and I'm not afraid that I will spoil the pork."

"Don't be afraid, I haven't seen you spoil anything yet?" Regarding Bai Ning, Tan Ming felt 120 times relieved.

??The lobby brother was also very fast. He said he would drive them back in two days, but after noon on the third day, he drove two big fat pigs over.

?? One head visually weighed two hundred catties, fat and strong.

?? "This pig is fat enough. I haven't seen such a fat pig in the past few years. Mingzi, can you sell this pig?"

?? "Not for sale, this pig is kept for making bacon and sent to restaurants for sale."

??The people in the village are not those messy people. Some of them nodded after hearing this, but didn't leave.

?? Butchering pigs is a lively event. If you don’t want to eat pig meat, you can also see how lively it is.

??Two pigs, Brother Da Tang and Tan Ming were busy until midnight to sort them out.

?? On the scale, in addition to the internal organs, the meat and bones add up to two hundred and there are more than 280 catties left.

?? "This quantity is not bad, and the family is also sincere, and they didn't feed me before selling me." The big hall brother said cheerfully.

?? "I'm done with my work, come and have dinner today." Mrs. Qin came out and said, the kitchen has already stewed pork dishes, waiting for the butcher to eat.

?? "Come right away, Mingzi, come and put this meat in the house. It will be ready tomorrow. It's cold now, so it won't go bad after two days."

?? Tan Ming also meant the same thing. Two people carried the chopping board into a room.

?? Not enough time, just hastily cleaned up.Neither the bones nor the flesh were completely separated.There is no place to put it at home, so I can only leave it like this for the time being, and I will go back to buy salt and spices tomorrow.

?? "It smells so good." The big brother smelled the aroma as soon as he entered the door, and his stomach became hungry.

?? He sat next to his father, "Dad, this year our family will also kill one! I heard that Brother Ning is going to make ham. You don't know how delicious ham is. Let's learn how to make it."

?? Bai Ning hurriedly said, "Farewell, I haven't done it yet. I will try to do it this year. If I can do it well, I will follow suit."

?? Qin said at this time, "It's okay to kill a pig. Your seventh master came to me the day before yesterday and said that our two families will kill one."

?? "It's okay, when to kill, I'm ready."

?? "Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow is fine. Today, your Seventh Grandma heard that the pig is used to marinate bacon, so she said come here and learn how to make bacon."

?? "Then I'll drive the pigs back this afternoon. Mingzi won't be free tomorrow afternoon. There are a lot of pigs. Help me."

??Tan Ming looked at Bai Ning, and Bai Ning said, "It's okay, I can make sausages with marinated meat at home, I can do it here."

??The others didn't understand what Tan Ming meant when he saw Bai Ning, and they all laughed when they realized it.

"Oh, Mingzi knows how to love others after getting married. Don't worry, I'm going to steal my teacher tomorrow, so I won't let Brother Ning get tired." Sister-in-law Yu laughed, and then pinched her man hard. Why didn't this man think of her!

?? After eating and drinking, Uncle Tan's family will go down the mountain.

?? "You go take a shower first. I boiled water in an earthen pot in the kitchen, and the blood smells all over my body."

?? "No hurry, clean up the sewage first, the smell will be too strong tomorrow."

??Bai Ning remembered that before, he just picked up the pork liver and suet, and put the rest in a bucket, waiting for free time.

?? "Can you see it? I'll light two candles for you."

?? "Don't be so troublesome. After working for so many years, you can clear it even with your eyes closed."

?? This is just bragging, but with a little moonlight, I can see that I am vaguely capable.

?? Bai Ning still lit a candle and went over. As for helping, he would not do it.

??After he was busy, it took half an hour before Tan Ming brought the bucket filled with sewage into the house. The bath water was already cold, so Bai Ning could only boil the water again.

?? When everything is dealt with, it's almost midnight.

??Little Treasure has long been thrown into the bed by Bai Ning, and the couple quietly leaned over, "Keep your voice down, don't wake him up."

?? It was said that Bai Ning slept alertly, and Xiaobao was no exception. Tan Ming just lay down, and Xiaobao looked at him with a pair of bright eyes, without the hazy feeling of just waking up.

"Hey, you're quite vigilant." Tan Ming just stretched out his hand, wanting to touch his head, but Xiao Bao hid it.

"Smelly."

??Bai Ning grinned when he heard the words, "You smell it, it must be that you didn't wash your hands clean just now."

??Tan Ming raised his hand. There was indeed a smell, but it was not so obvious. He had to smell it closely to find out.

?? "This little nose is smart."

?? "Go and wash it quickly, Xiaobao and I both have a keen sense of smell, if you don't wash it tonight, you'll be on the floor."

??The daughter-in-law has spoken, what can Tan Ming do?Do it!

??I washed it several times with fragrant soap, and smelled it again. I made sure that there was no smell before going back to the house.

??Lying under the quilt, he deliberately put his hand under Xiaobao's nose, "Smell it again, see if there is any more?"

?? "Hee hee, no more, Xiangxiang."

?? "You two, stop making trouble and go to sleep. You have to go to the street tomorrow, and you Xiaobao, you have to get up and walk tomorrow."

??…

??Dreamless night, Bai Ning had a rare sleep in. He was called out by Tan Ming.

?? "What time is it?"

?? "The time has passed."

?? Bai Ning rubbed his eyes, feeling that he still didn't wake up.

?? He yawned, "When did you get up?"

?? "I got up for a while, it's time to eat. I fried the leftover rice from yesterday, and boiled pea tips with yesterday's bone soup."

??Bai Ning put on his clothes, and then sat down at the dining table, but looking at the steaming food, he didn't seem to have much appetite.

"What's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable?" Bai Ning's appetite has always been good, and he feels that everything tastes delicious, so now Tan Ming saw that he had one chopstick but not the other. Worry.

?? "It's okay, I don't have much appetite, maybe I went to bed late last night."

?? "I slept a little late, or you won't go to the county today, just tell me the spices you need and I'll bring them back. You eat it yourself and then sleep again?"

??Actually, it's not just today. A few days ago, Bai Ning also felt that he yawned a lot and wanted to sleep.

?? "Well, with some spices, star anise, pepper, cinnamon, fennel, and white wine, that's the kind of strong wine."

??"that's it?"

"That's all, one catty for each item, let's talk about it if it's not enough." Bai Ning didn't know if it would be enough, so he could only guess when the time came.

"Also, bring me back the small stone mill I put in the old house."

??"it is good."

??Tan Ming had just left the house for a while when Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Yu's sister-in-law and Mrs. Tan's second sister-in-law came over.

?? "Brother Ning, didn't you talk about making sausage and bacon today? I'll come and learn."

??Bai Ning also said to go back to sleep for a while, but everyone came to the house, and he didn't have the reason to leave the guests behind and sleep by himself. He yawned a lot and went out of the room.

?? "It's very simple, and there are no complicated procedures. How did you do it in previous years?"

"Just put some salt to marinate it, take it up to wash and hang it on the stove after eight days, smoke it with smoke, it tastes delicious, and our village has the best bacon." Qin said proudly , "Let me tell you, use the sawdust noodles made by your uncle to smoke, it is very fragrant."

??Bai Ning's eyes lit up, "Hey, I forgot if I didn't tell you. Uncle Carpenter, you have a lot of sawdust. Do you have any? If you have, give me some."

?? "Yes, yes, I keep the sawdust face all year round, and there will be more this year."

?? "Okay, I made bacon later and invite you to eat bacon."

??The meat from yesterday was not cut open, and it was still on the chopping board. It was really difficult for a few people to handle it.

"Come on, Brother Ning, go and carry some stools, first take this chopping board out."

??"it is good."

?? Qin patted the fat on it, "This meat is fat, this is really profitable."

?? Second Aunt Tan continued, "It seems that this pig has been fed for at least a year, and it will definitely not be so fat after a year. Mom, do you want to catch two piglets and bring them back to feed next year?"

?? Qin nodded, "Alright."

?? "Auntie, did you say that you will feed the piglets next year? Where there are, I will catch two and feed them."

??The other three people looked at him, nothing else, Brother Ning didn't look like a pig feeder, why did he want to feed the pigs?

?? "You are too busy to come here, aren't you going to start planting grapes next year?"

?? "What's the matter? Just cut some hogweed and pour some rice bran. It doesn't take much?"

?? Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, look at me and I look at you. When did feeding pigs become so easy?Think about how many fights they had with others because of a handful of pigweed when they fed pigs before?Why in Brother Ning's mouth, it's nothing.
