Chapter 127 Brewing, Making Bacon, and Stuffing Sausages
In addition to medicine, Tang Zangyue also gave him whole grains.
In the space, there are coarse grains made from corn with cobs and wheat with ears. Not only the person in front of me eats it, but also the family who moved out also eat this.
She gave a look of ten kilograms, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "If you don't have the conditions to make it, you can come to our Xiao's kitchen at night to make some and put them away."
Meihua quickly shook her head, "I won't bother the old lady."
Tang Zangyue nodded, "It's best if you can handle it yourself."
Seeing Mei Hua stand up, she said again: "Sit down for a while."
Meihua sat back again. She didn't know how long she waited, but both of them were speechless. She could only stare blankly at the light of the fire and listen to the crackling sound of the firewood.
Just as she was about to ask, the other party pulled out a large pumpkin from the fire.
Only then did Meihua recover from the mental stress!
She was so focused on the medicine that she didn't notice the scent of roasted pumpkin filling the air when she entered the room.
Tang Zangyue asked her to pick up the hot pumpkin through her sleeves and put it in a sack. Then she said, "Go back and be kind to yourself."
"……Um."
On the other side.
I really asked Dongmei to catch the Chen family getting up at night.
It's uncle.
The eldest brother never gets involved in the affairs of the second wife. Uncle Chen knows that his mother has a bad temper, and if there is no one to vent her anger on, he is afraid that he will extend his hand to the eldest brother. He is not as stupid as his second brother.
pain.
Uncle Chen has always turned a blind eye towards his second wife.
"Uncle." Dongmei is indeed smart. A second ago, her mind was in a mess, but now she has returned to normal.
Uncle Chen hummed and went to the hut with a cold expression. After returning to the house, he turned over several times and couldn't fall asleep, and even woke up his wife.
Chen Zhu raised her heavy eyelids and said, "What's wrong? I went to the latrine and lost my mind."
"Guess who I saw when I passed by the front yard." Uncle Chen lowered his voice and said.
"who?"
"Dongmei."
Chen Zhu frowned and looked away from her sleepiness, saying, "Her? What is she doing up late at night?"
"Who knows, standing at the door is so scary... Hey, my mother pushed me too hard."
Chen Zhu didn't like hearing this.
Chen Zhu pursed her lips and said, "Don't interfere. Her men are all hiding away. As the eldest uncle, what's the point of interfering?"
"Don't worry, you don't need to tell me about this. If you don't vent your anger, mother will have to reach out to our room. I don't want you to be wronged. The reputation of our old Chen family is bad enough..."
As the couple chatted, they began to think about separating their families, but when they thought about Mrs. Chen's personality, they stopped thinking.
Sleeping is the most reliable way.
Winter plum finally waits for plum blossoms.
She almost cried, "Mom..."
Mei Hua lowered her voice and said neatly: "If you have anything to say, go back to the house and say it, let's go."
A big pumpkin, Meihua split it in half, gave half to Dongju sisters, and ate the other half herself. Dongmei went to the kitchen and stole three spoons and came back, chatting while digging.
It smelled of a strong pumpkin fragrance. They scooped a spoon into their mouths and chewed it twice. It was so fragrant that their tongues almost melted.
It's so delicious and warm.
My daughter was sleeping soundly, so it was inconvenient to feed the two children at night, so Mei Hua had to eat by herself. If my daughter were older, I guess she could eat some secretly at night.
"Mom, uncle bumped into me." Dongmei took a few bites and suppressed the hunger in her abdomen before she remembered this.
Mei Hua pondered for a moment and said: "They never interfere in the affairs of our second wife, for fear of causing trouble. As long as they are not broken up by Chen Mazi and Mrs. Chen, others don't have to worry about it."
The sisters don't think there's anything wrong with the stepmother calling daddy and grandma by their first names. Even they themselves have done so in private.
"That's right." Meihua opened a slit in the sack and couldn't help but feel happy on her face, "This is the food my mother brought. I will give it to Aunt Zhang tomorrow and ask her to help make cakes. Our mother will share a little every day."
, at least I won’t be as hungry as I am now. If the pancakes don’t catch the eye, other people in the Chen family won’t notice.” Of course, asking for help is not in vain, half a catty is taken away as a thank you.
"But mother, this bag is not big. If Granny Zhang takes it away, she will be discovered."
Mei Hua thought for a moment and said, "Okay, just wait a few days until the Chen family is not at home, and then ask Aunt Zhang."
"Uh-huh."
…
After giving the medicine and coarse grains to Meihua, Tang Zangyue stopped paying attention to the Chen family's affairs and focused on making wine.
The Qian family's cellar was dug very large, so the completion time was delayed again and again. It was just around the corner from Sister Ling's birthday. The Qian family moved into their new home as soon as possible and there was room for the Qian family's belongings in the front yard.
The rice wine was brewed so successfully that Tang Zangyue went to the county town and bought a lot of sorghum to prepare for making white wine.
Aunt Liu will not question what she did now, and even feels that the amount of wine she brewed the first time was too little?
Tang Zangyue raised her eyebrows slightly, "Do you think the brew is too little?"
Hearing this tone, Aunt Liu's heart skipped a beat.
Tang Zangyue: "Tell me, how much wine do you think is appropriate?"
Encouraged by Xiao Wu's eyes, Aunt Liu anxiously expressed her opinion: "I thought, since the Qian family's cellar is so big... at least fill it up?"
For a moment, Tang Zangyue nodded.
"Not bad, a good idea."
The next day, Tang Zangyue went to the county town again and bought a lot of sorghum. In addition, she saw pork in the market and bought a whole pig.
The job of processing the pork fell on the head foreman.
Maodong's long-term workers are idle at home. If the Xiao family has something to do, of course they are willing to do some work and receive wages.
In an hour, a pig can be clearly arranged.
The pig head meat can be braised and sold, after all, no one in the Xiao family eats it.
Pig's trotters are a good thing, and can be made into soups or braised for home consumption. Other parts can either be preserved and hung with salt to make bacon, or stuffed in casings to make sausages.
This is the first time for the border people to make sausages.
Several long-term workers heard Tang Zangyue say: "There are many ways to make it in the south, but it lacks a seasoning... Hey, I hope the taste is not far different."
The missing ingredient is chili pepper.
She had asked Qian Daniu to pound the spices into powder with a garlic mortar early in the morning. Wang Xiaoliu was supposed to do the work, but since the family only signed Qian Daniu's life contract, she felt more at ease with Qian Daniu's use of these.
So he took it up on Qian Daniu.
The long-term worker in the family only knew that the powder added to the enema casing was spices, but he really didn’t know what the specific spices were. However, the concerned people in the village went to the town to inquire about it, but they did not hear that Doctor Tang or the Xiao family often went to spice shops.
It is said that the owner of the spice shop made brine based on the spices purchased by Tang Zangyue, but the taste was not that authentic, so he finally gave up the idea of competing for business with the Xiao family.
Only Doctor Xue and Shopkeeper Chu know the reason——
I'm afraid Doctor Tang didn't go to other counties to purchase it.
The sausages and bacon were ready, and the wine was almost ready. Uncle Zhao drove the ox cart and put the carts of wine jars into the Qian family's cellar and hid them.
Because the long-term worker was helpful, Tang Zangyue also gave a few special instructions: "I hope everyone will keep my brewing secret. If the village knows about it and takes notice of it, then the agreement we signed before will probably be invalidated."
Tang Zangyue: "If only one of you leaks the secret, everyone will no longer be used by the Xiao family."
