Chapter 26 Braised Meat

After walking out of the town and finding a forest without anyone, Li Wen returned to the space warehouse.

When I came to the second floor and walked into the living room, I saw a pile of books and calligraphy and paintings piled up on the floor. Li Wen first opened six or seven ancient paintings.

"Well, this is from Zhu Yunming, the four great talents of the Ming Dynasty. Bada Shanren and Xiangguang lay Buddhists, they are all good and famous masters! These calligraphy and paintings are very valuable after they are placed. You should collect more in the future, which can be considered to be a contribution to the protection of cultural relics," Li Wen said with a smile.

The remaining part of the thread-bound books are several from the Ming Dynasty, some from the Qing Dynasty, all of which are from the Analects of Confucius, and some of them are like the Three Character Classics of the Analects of Confucius, as well as several Taoist classics and medical classics. Many of them are broken and the threads are removed from binding. Li Wen does not know much about these, but they are all sorted out and put in wooden boxes.

Find some banned books from the remaining modern books and put them on the shelf, and put them in the basket with the selected literary classics, magazines and a large stack of newspapers.

After leaving the space, Li Wen walked slowly with his hands empty-handed. It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon when he returned to the village. In the small woods at the entrance of the village, Li Wen took out the basket from the space and walked towards the house with a swagger.

"Wenzi, what did you do? I've just come back. What do you carry in the basket? It looks heavy?" When I passed by a family in the village, several old ladies who were enjoying the cool under the big tree at the door asked, shaking their palm-leaf fans."

"My mothers, isn't this fishing gear lost? I went to the county town yesterday to compensate my classmate. When I came back, I bought some scrap newspapers and old books. Li Wen put down his back basket and smiled."

"Then give me some old newspaper, you, so I can go home to make a wall. The newspaper is so beautiful that the kang is covered with walls. An old lady smiled."

"Liu Po, it's not possible today. I have to go back to read these newspapers. Besides, this little newspaper is not enough to cover the wall. Next time, I will go to the city in a while. Then I will get more old newspapers for everyone. Li Wen refused and said with a smile."

"Wenzi, that's all right, it's definitely next time! Several old ladies said happily after hearing this."

"It must be, so you guys continue to chat, I'll leave first," Li Wen smiled and carried his backpack and walked towards the house.

What is the use of buying so many old books and newspapers? What newspapers do rural people read? They are not doing their jobs, and several old ladies whisper.

Li Wen paused after listening to the scene, and then pretended not to hear him and continued to walk.

I'm back, Li Wen pushed open the gate and shouted!

"Awen, you are back. Grandma Guo Xiuyun walked out of the room and looked at Li Wen at the door and smiled."

"Why didn't you go home yesterday? Your aunt came to her house this morning and said you left yesterday afternoon. Your monkey made the family worry. The old lady smiled and pointed at Li Wen's forehead and said with a smile."

"I didn't go home last night, I went fishing," Li Wen whispered.

"Then where did you sleep, the old lady asked."

"There is an abandoned cave next to the reservoir. I spent all night there. Anyway, the weather is hot now and I'm not afraid of catching a cold. Li Wen smiled."

"Awen, you are old, so why do you do in the future and say hello to your family in advance. The family members are scared and scared. The old lady said in a deep tone.

"Okay, I know. If you have any problems in the future, I will tell you and your parents in advance, Li Wen smiled dryly."

"Look, this is the pork I cut and the pigs went into the water," Li Wen took out the book and newspaper and took the pork out from under the basket.

"This is two pounds of pork. This piece of meat is good, it's all pork belly," the old lady smiled at the pork."

"The pork is good, but why do we do it when we get these pigs into the water? We don't know how to make it," the old lady carried it, quite heavy!

"I know how to make it. I learned from books. Southerners like to use these pigs to make braised pork, heart liver pig head and other braised pork, which is delicious! Today I bought some ingredients and make braised pork for everyone at that time. It will definitely be delicious, Li Wen said with a smile."

"I have also eaten braised pork. When I was young, my grandfather bought some. It was so soft and tasty. My grandson was really capable. Well, I am waiting for your braised pork today," he said, "and back to the room and continued to make his own cloth shoes.

The weather in the yard was too hot. The old lady couldn't stay for a long time to help Li Wen handle the pigs in the water, so she had to clean them by herself.

"Well, I'll clean it first." Why no one wants to eat these water and other things? First, it is difficult to clean up, and second, it is cost-effective to make it.

Awen put down his back basket and threw the pork and drain water next to the water tank in the yard, and then came outside the door.

"Xiaojuan, come and see Li Wen, a little guy playing under a big tree in the village, greeting him."

"Brother, when are you back? I miss you so much these two days!" The little guy ran over and looked at Li Wen and wanted to hug him.

"Stop, your paws are dirty like pigs, hurry up and wash your hands in the yard." Li Wen's little guy pulled his arm to the yard.

"Brother, there's so much meat," the little guy immediately drooled when he saw the pork beside the water tank.

"Wash it quickly, after washing, go and call your brother and the others to go home to help," Li Wen was pulling the little guy to wipe his face with a towel!

After the little guy finished washing up, he ran out without Li Wen urging him!

After cleaning the pork, Li Wen began to process the pigs in the water. It was indeed difficult to clean the pigs in the water. It was not well processed, and the seasonings were not enough to come out of the pot and it was very fishy and smelly. However, it was indeed a difficult delicacy.

Li Wen bought two pairs of pigs today, weighing 20 to 30 kilograms. If he was asked to clean it alone, it would probably take at least four or five hours, so he quickly called back to help with his younger brother and sister.

First, I deal with the pig heart, took out the two pig hearts, used a knife to separate the white fascia, and then used scissors to pierce several holes in front of it to facilitate the severity and cleaning, and then threw them aside and waited for my younger brother to come back to clean it.

Next, remove the fascia from the second pair of pork loins, then truncate a few small holes and put them in a basin to soak the blood.

The pig spleen, liver, and belly all remove the white fascia outside and then soak it in a basin.

"Mom, please help me cook a large pot of boiling water and use two pots behind the stove. I will still use the aluminum pot later," Li Wen raised his head and shouted at Li Wen.

"Okay, I know," the old lady's voice came from the house.

"Brother, we're back," the door was suddenly pushed open, and four or five children rushed in.

"Wow, there's so much pork today," the little guys squatted aside and watched Li Wen take care of the pigs in the water, and exclaimed.

"Stop looking, hurry up and help me clean them. These pig hearts and pig kidneys have to rinse the blood before they can eat them, otherwise they will not be able to eat them," Li Wen pointed to the pig internal organs that had been processed on the side.

"Okay, let's clean it," a few little guys brought the basin to start cleaning.

"Brother Wenzi, we also want to help clean it together. Can we eat it for us when the pork is cooked? Just a little bit," Li Qiang, the boy from the next door, and Li Wenhu from the accountant, stared at the pork with a slight slight look.

Looking at the two young guys who were eight or nine years old with anticipation, Li Wen nodded with a smile.

OK! Wash the pork and eat pork. The two little guys immediately joined the cleaning gang cheerfully. For a while, the water splashed and it was very lively. Li Wen leisurely treated the mucous membranes and oil stains on the small intestine.

"How do you deal with this pig lung? It's red and there's always blood inside. We can't wash it clean. Li Min carried the pig lungs."

"Yongzi, go and break a hollow branch," Li Wen picked up the pig's lungs and looked at it and shouted.

"Look, use the branches to blow water into the tube, Li Wen made a demonstration, and the little guys seemed to have found new toys, rushing to the top."

After cleaning it, Li Wen then took out the white vinegar, took out the bulk liquor he had bought from the town from the room and started marinating it and removing the fishy smell.

It took more than two hours for a group of people to completely clean the pig in the water.

"It's so tiring. It's really troublesome to treat this pig in the water," the little guy sat on the ground with water stains on his face, wailing.

"Okay, you little guys are all up and clean them up. Li Min goes to our mother's house to get soap and wash the smell of water on her body. You won't need you anymore. You can eat it after waiting for more than one or two hours."

Li Wen smiled. These little guys have indeed made great efforts today. I had known that handling pigs would be a meticulous job. It is very challenging for children who are active to do patiently for more than two hours.

Blanch all the pork in water to remove the blood foam and fishy smell, and then Li Wen starts to braise it.

There is not much oil at home, so Li Wen quietly took out some from the space to use it.

After the oil is heated, add sugar and boil it into the sugar color. Then pour the meat into the pot and stir-fry it and add soy sauce and salt to season it. Finally, take out two braised pork buns from the space and put them in, pour it on the source of life and cover it with the lid of the pot to open the braised pot.

Fortunately, the aluminum pot is big enough, and about 30 kilograms of water and pork can be put down. Everything is done. I worked hard for more than four hours.

It was almost seven o'clock in the evening, and the adults had already started to work.

After about half an hour, the water in the pot had already boiled, and the taste of braised meat had already floated out faintly.

"It smells so good. What delicious food is mom making at home tonight? It smells so good. Uncle Er pushed open the door and smelled the fragrance in the yard and smiled."

"It seems to be meaty, just like the pig-killing vegetables made by the village chef Lao Te during the Chinese New Year. My father put down the wood in his hand and smiled."

"Dad, you're done working," Li Wen and the little guys were sitting in the yard chatting. When he saw the gate open, his father and others came back and hurriedly got up.

"Well, I'm back. What did you do when you didn't go home yesterday? Li's father walked to the water tank in the yard and said while scooping water."

"I went to my classmate's house and just came back this afternoon," Li Wen said as he saw that there were other children in the yard, so Li Wen changed the topic.

When Li's father saw Li Qiang and Li Wenhu, he smiled and said, "What do you do in the future? Your mother and your mother were worried all night yesterday."

"Yes, your child didn't come back last night and didn't say anything. I was worried that I didn't sleep well all night, so my mother also pushed the door open at this time."

OK, dad and mom, I will notify you of everything in the future, and Li Wen immediately raised his hand to surrender.
