Little wealth

The sun rises from the east, and the sun shines on the earth, adding a little warmth to this cold winter.

After breakfast, all the adults got up and went to work outside.

It is very spectacular to cut up a whole big pig and put it on the table. There is no room for so much pork on a table, and some meat is placed in the basin.A portion of the fresh pork was set aside for two days, and the rest of the pork was prepared to be made into sausages and bacon.

There were several large chopping boards on the rectangular table. Chen Yan and his father were standing side by side cutting the meat. Both the father and son cut the meat very fast.Butcher Chen has killed pigs for decades and cut up meat for decades. He can cut this pork with his eyes closed, and with a big knife in his hand, he cuts out a complete strip of meat.

Chen Yan's meat cutting speed is not too bad, although it is not as fast as his father's, but it is still much faster than ordinary people's meat cutting speed.

"Chop chop chop—"

Zhao He and Zhao Hu here were chopping meat, poured the minced meat into the basin, replaced it with new meat, cut it open and continued chopping.

In the kitchen, Josh is frying salt. There are a lot of sausages and bacon to be cooked today, so there is also a lot of salt to fry. It is the aroma of pepper.

The fried salt is brought out.

They walked away for a while, and when they came out, they saw two large basins full of meat. Looking at the two father and son who were cutting meat, Josh couldn't help but admire in his heart: the speed at which the father and son cut meat It's too fast!

The whole pig that was just now was almost cut up in such a short time.

"Caiyun Caixia is here to help, you go and move the two pots of meat over here." Josh asked the two little girls to help move the meat to the open space here, so as not to hinder the work of the few people over there.

Ah Qiu and Ah Chun and Ah Guang also came to help.

The other children who were younger were playing on the side, and they were not allowed to come here to help, so as to save them from being busy when they could, and causing them trouble.

Josh repeatedly told the children in the family not to go to the backyard, especially the fearless kid in their family, so he was almost tied up with a rope to watch.But he knew that the other older children would be more sensible, so he told the other two children not to take their younger brother to other places, but just play around here.

After being instructed by an adult, Ah Can and Xiaodai took their younger brother to play nearby, watching to prevent him from running away.

"What are we going to do, just put salt on it?" In the past, when they made bacon, they would just put salt on it and hang it outside to dry. People who were willing to spend money would buy more salt and come back to bacon, but Some people really don’t have much money at home, so they just buy a little salt, put some salt on it and hang it outside to dry. This kind of meat can last a whole winter.The meat of their family will be sprinkled with more salt, and it doesn't matter if the meat is eaten until the spring of the next year.

Zhao Amu didn't know how to make the bacon that the daughter-in-law said. The salt was fried with other things, but let alone, the taste of the salt was even better than when it was not fried. up.

"No, we need to rub the meat with wine first, and then use the salt that has just been fried." A large jar of wine was placed on the ground. The concentration of the wine is too low, and this wine is the baijiu they just brewed the day before, just for today's cured meat.

Josh remembered seeing someone in a village make bacon before, and they all wiped it with white wine first. Wiping the meat with white wine can not only add flavor to the meat, but also preserve it, so this step is very important.

The wine was still in the jar, and in order not to pollute the wine in that jar, they had to pour some out for use.

"Let's pour out the wine first."

"well."

As soon as the mouth of the jar was opened, they bowled the poured wine.The wine poured into the bowl was crystal clear, and there was a strong aroma of wine that wafted all over the yard.

Butcher Chen, who was cutting meat next door, couldn't help but pause the knife in his hand, took a deep breath and said, "Your wine is really fragrant, which one did you call from?" Big hobby, besides eating meat, is drinking.He went to the wine shop in the town to buy wine every now and then, and he had never seen such a delicious wine for sale!

Knowing that Chen Tuhu is a drinker, Zhao Amu laughed and said, "We brewed this wine the day before yesterday. Brother Qiao said it was for cured meat. I wonder if I can drink it?" said the last sentence At that time, he looked at his daughter-in-law opposite.

Knowing that Aunt Mu was asking him this question, Josh said: "The strength of this jar is too high, and it is easy to get drunk if you drink it. There is another jar in the house, and the strength of that jar is lighter. If you want to drink If so, then take the jar inside to drink."

"Hey, it's a good feeling." As soon as he heard that there was wine to drink, Chen Tuhu felt that he couldn't finish his work.

Chen Yan glanced at his father, a smile flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

Several people gathered around a large wooden basin. They poured the wine on the meat, and then rubbed the pork with their hands so that the surface of the pork was evenly covered with white wine.After rubbing the pork with white wine, pour in the fried salt just now and continue to spread evenly.

Seeing that there are a lot of people working here, and the meat over there has already been chopped into two large pots, Josh said: "Mum, you continue to spread salt here, and put it in the wooden barrel over there. Go over there to see how the meat is chopping and see if you need to deal with it."

"Hey, you can go." Zhao Amu raised her head in response without stopping her hands.

Ah Qiu also squatted beside the wooden basin to help with the work, pinching the raw meat with his hands, how can I say this feeling... I am not used to wiping it.

Others are not used to it. Seeing so much white meat, what they think is that they don't have to worry about running out of meat this winter.

**

Over there, Zhao He saw Fu Lang approaching him, stopped the meat chopping knife in his hand, and asked, "Is it time to use meat?"

"Well, how is your chopping going?" Josh saw half of the pot of chopped meat, and saw that there was already a lot of chopped meat, so he said, "Let me mix some meat to stuff sausages first."

Zhao He put down the knife and asked, "Do you want me to take it down for you?"

"Help me carry it to the table over there."

After Master Zhao put the meat on the table and put it on the table, Josh asked someone to bring over the wooden shelf in the kitchen. This wooden shelf is the meat filling assistant made by their Master Zhao. .

The chopped meat needs to be seasoned, salt, wine, and sugar are indispensable, and a little pepper powder can be added to increase the aroma.

Just as he was putting the seasoning into the meat, he saw Chen Yan walking towards him, and Josh asked, "Ah Yan, have you finished cutting the meat on your side?" By the time Chen Yan's father had changed to chopping meat, he thought he should have finished chopping the meat.

Chen Yan responded: "Well, it's finished. I'll come over to see what you have to do here."

"Then help me mix this meat." Josh moved back a little bit, and asked Chen Yan to help him mix the meat evenly.

The pig intestines have been washed and soaked in clean water. This is to soak the casings, and it is better to pour them in later.

After their meat is mixed, the next step is to pour the meat into the casing.

"Tie a knot at the very end...well, yes, put this casing into this small opening, Ah Yan, you pour the meat stuffing through this opening." Josh asked Caixia to put the casing on the small opening, and helped Hold down the small opening so that it doesn't come out halfway through the filling.

Then Chen Yan was responsible for pouring the meat in from the upper entrance, and he himself was in charge of turning the small pole, and the meat poured in from the entrance slid down the pipe and slowly filled into the intestines. After the meat, it is full and full little by little.

After filling one casing, leave a little blank at the end, tie a knot, and replace it with another casing to continue filling with meat.

When they finished filling the pot with meat, the three people on the other side chopped up more than half of the pot and brought it over.Josh was in charge of seasoning again, and Chen Yan came to help him mix it, and then continued to pour it into the casing after mixing it.

Everyone didn't feel that time passed quickly when they got busy, and the whole morning passed so quickly without knowing it.

The sun in winter doesn't feel like it's basking in the sun. Instead, it feels warm when the sun shines on your body.

The sun had risen to the very center of the sky, and Josh remembered that their lunch was not ready yet. The big pot of porridge cooked in the morning was finished, and lunch had to be made separately, so he asked everyone: "What do you want to eat at noon?" ?”

"It's all right, you can eat anything." Zhao Hu replied over there.

"Yeah, just get something to eat." Zhao Amu shouted.

Seeing Josh looking at him, Chen Yan replied, "I can do anything."

Anyway, this family eats "anything" and "anything", which is what troubles him the most as a cook.There happened to be minced meat. Josh thought about it and said, "Why don't we eat fried meat pies at noon, and cook a piece of meat soup. Let's make do with it at noon, and make it richer at night?"

"All right, I'll listen to you."

Naturally, everyone has no opinion on this.

The minced meat is already chopped, just seasoning is enough. The seasoning for making meat pies is different from that for making sausages.

I used a big bowl full of minced meat to go home, and someone had already helped to make the noodles.

Josh himself only needs to be in charge of the seasoning. When he wanted to cut some onions, he realized that there was no chopping board and knife in the kitchen, and the chopping board and knife were taken out for use outside.

He happened to see three small heads outside, so he put a piece of ginger and garlic in a bowl, took a handful of shallots, picked off the heads and tails, washed them, and shouted: "Chan, come here, do me a favor, give this to me." Your master, let him cut it for me."

Ah Can ran in to take the big bowl and green onions, then turned and ran out.
