This housewarming celebration cannot but be carried out in a big way."
Ning Pengpeng touched the snow-white wall and was extremely satisfied. With a wave of her hand, she paid for the housewarming banquet of several families.
When Ning Youzhi rushed over, he happened to hear what his aunt said and quickly agreed with his heart. He would take care of the banquet and ensure that it would be done properly.
When hosting banquets in the countryside, there are masters who specialize in this business.
Generally, such a master would have several apprentices.
Then the women and men in the family serve as helpers. If there is not enough manpower, they will spend additional money to hire a few people to help with the work.
The owner can just calculate the wages with the master chef, and then buy all the vegetables himself.
However, the master chef usually knows the people who kill pigs and sheep, and they can buy it much cheaper.
And the host's family may not be able to hold a few banquets in a lifetime. If you don't know, buying so many things, and the price of each item is a little more expensive, will add up to a lot of money.
Moreover, having to wash the dishes and clean up the mess afterwards is really tiring.
It is better to just ask the master chef to prepare the menu for the host, and then give the price for a table, and they will take care of the aftermath. In this case, the host can relax a lot and the price will not be much higher.
The master chef can also take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit from the price difference, and also earn a few wages for the people below him, and he is happy at both times.
Therefore, when Ning Youzhi came to ask Ning Pengpeng which method to choose, Ning Pengpeng directly chose the latter.
However, Ning Pengpeng requested that the ingredients needed for some dishes should be given priority to those in the village.
If it is cheaper for the master to order these materials than to collect them from the village, then Ning Pengpeng is willing to subsidize the extra money to the master.
When the master heard what his master said, he gave Ning Youzhi a thumbs up and praised him for his benevolence and righteousness!
When the villagers learned that the Ning family was going to set up running water mats and hired a master chef, they were a little sour in their hearts, but they had to be convinced. Now, Mrs. Ning seems to have been reborn, completely different from before!
Those who raised pigs, chickens, ducks, and vegetables at home were even more delighted.
Because there was a flowing banquet, the banquet was held in the rice field in the middle of the village.
The fat pig, which was squealing with its legs tied up, was pulled over and laid down on a bench. Several big men held down the pig's body.
The butcher's knife flashed and stabbed into the pig's neck. When the knife was pulled out, the pig's blood flowed loudly into the basin below.
When a woman saw that the blood was almost gone, she quickly stepped forward, sprinkled a handful of salt into the pig's blood, stirred it, and set it aside to wait for the pig's blood to solidify into a blood clot.
After bleeding the fat pig, it completely lost its breath. The butcher began to scald the pig's hair, then cut open the belly and took out all the internal organs.
When the internal organs were taken out, they were still hot.
However, the women took it over with smiles, keeping some of the heart, liver and pork loin, and preparing to throw away the other lungs and intestines.
"Why should these be thrown away?"
Ning Pengpeng was shocked. Forget the lungs, this large intestine is so delicious, but it was just thrown away like this?
"Ms. Ning, these intestines are full of pig manure and can't be eaten. Why don't you throw them away?"
The woman who was helping looked at Ning Pengpeng with the same surprise, and couldn't help but murmur in her heart.
Could it be that Mrs. Ning's stingy temper has come out again?
Otherwise, why wouldn’t he even let go of the smelly pig intestines?
"..."
Ning Pengpeng was speechless.
"Okay, please leave these pig intestines and lungs to me first, and go do other things first!"
Ning Pengpeng stepped forward and took those things over.
Then he called Mrs. Liu to go to the kitchen, scooped out a lot of plant ash, and carried it together to the small river next to the village.
"Mom, why do you wash such a smelly thing? Is this thing edible?"
Ms. Liu was holding a bucket of plant ash in one hand and covering her nose tightly with the other.
She was used to being in the town, but she suddenly couldn't stand the smell of pig shit.
Ning Pengpeng glanced at her and snorted coldly.
"I'm afraid you won't be able to stop using the chopsticks when it's cleaned and ready."
Mrs. Liu wanted to retort, even if she was beaten to death, she would not eat something that smelled like pig shit!
When I think about the pig feces in this intestine, even if it is cleaned, I still can't get over it!
However, thinking of her man beating herself up every night these days, Liu pursed her lips and swallowed her words.
This made Ning Pengpeng couldn't help but look at Mrs. Liu a few more times. It seemed that the boss was doing a good job of teaching his wife by his pillow these days.
Holding your breath, turn the pig intestines over, and then wash off the pig feces in the first pass.
Then, remove some lymph from the intestines!
Then, he scooped up the plant ash and put it on the pig's intestines. He kept it there every day. After wrapping it carefully, he kept scrubbing it.
After repeated scrubbing for several times, the smell of pig feces was completely eliminated.
Then use scissors to cut along the tube of the pig's lung bit by bit, even the tube that is not much larger than the embroidery needle.
Then he picked up the plant ash, smeared it on the lung tubes, and kept rubbing it.
At first, the foam came out, and slowly the color turned to snow white, and then it was rinsed clean!
Ning Pengpeng was satisfied and put the cleaned pig intestines and lungs into a clean basket, ready to go back and show off his skills.
Mrs. Liu stood aside, covering her nose from the beginning to opening her mouth wide at the end, looking at her mother-in-law's hands as if they were the hands of a god.
To actually wash such a smelly thing clean, she quietly came closer and took a closer sniff, and found that there was really no smell of pig shit at all!
If she hadn't watched her mother-in-law wash the pig intestines and lungs with her own eyes and wait until they were ready and served, she would probably not associate this dish with pig intestines.
Now, she is looking forward to what kind of dishes her mother-in-law will make from these two things!
I even want to know how those people would react if they put these dishes into their mouths without knowing what they were made of.
Mrs. Liu's eyes were shining brightly, carrying a basket filled with pig intestines and lungs, as well as a bucket that had previously contained plant ash but was now empty, and followed Ning Pengpeng happily.
Naturally, Ning Pengpeng would not occupy the boiler at the master's side.
Therefore, Ning Pengpeng directly asked Mrs. Liu to carry these things back to the kitchen of her old house and put them away.
First, ask Liu to boil water, put these things into the water, and then add some wine and ginger to blanch the water to remove the smell and foam.
Pick it up again, wash it in clean water, then put it in the pot, put in various seasonings and start cooking.
After the pig lungs were blanched and washed with water, they were cut into pieces. Then Liu asked Ms. Liu to pull out some garlic, clean it, and cut it into segments.
Add oil again, pour the cut pig lungs into the pot and stir-fry. After adding the seasonings, add the garlic and stir-fry.
Before it was even out of the pot, Liu couldn't help but take a deep breath. It smelled so fragrant?
