Twenty-three, twenty-three, sticky melons; twenty-four, sweep the house; twenty, grind tofu; twenty-six, sell meat; twenty-seven, slaughter the rooster; twenty-eight, make noodles
On the 29th, I steamed steamed buns; on the 30th, I stayed up all night and walked around the streets on the first and second day of the lunar month.
On the 23rd of the New Year, the flavor of the New Year becomes more intense. Here in the capital, the 23rd is called the Little New Year, and the celebration is more solemn than in Liujia Village. Everyone follows the local customs and gets up early in the morning. In addition to the business that they have to take care of, they
It is to invite the Stove Master to wish you good weather, food and clothing in the coming year. In fact, there is a gift of a stove before inviting a stove, but because the talents of Liujia Village have settled there, there is no portrait of the Stove Master on the stove, so this is a gift.
In addition, there are many people paying homage to their loved ones on this day, but the villagers don’t know how the others are doing. They are all safe, and perhaps other relatives and friends are also fine.
After removing these, we can make stove candy, which children like very much. The barley soaked a few days ago has already grown a section of tender green buds. Let the steamed glutinous rice cool a little, chop the malt into even pieces.
Stir in and place in a warm place for three to four hours to ferment.
After fermentation is completed, filter it with gauze to filter out the excess rice and malt to ensure that all the juice is in the pot. At this time, the water will appear off-white. Add low heat and simmer slowly, and the sweetness of the sugar will come out. Wait for a while
After cooking, put the popcorn popcorn in a basin, add sugar, stir evenly, and cut it into cubes. If you like, you can also add some fried nuts, peanuts, sesame seeds, etc.
Things smell better if you put them inside.
Yun Xi didn't cook it alone. Firstly, she didn't like sweet food, and secondly, the cooking was too little and she had to occupy a pot, which was too troublesome. So she simply gave some fried sesame and peanut nuts and asked Mrs. Liu to help make some and left them for Liu.
Let’s make snacks!
She is not idle now. Beef is hard to buy and hand-made beef balls cannot be made. However, you can still make some hand-made pork balls, but this requires a lot of pork. Fortunately, Liu Xingzhi collected several of them, and now it is just right.
Take it out and kill it!
Because there was wolf meat, none of the pigs were killed. Seeing that every family had to sell meat during the Chinese New Year, Liu Xingzhi thought for a while and asked Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang to come over and help kill one. Each family should share the rest.
Not much left, Yunxi just happens to be planning to make some smoked sausage.
It costs money to collect this pork, plus the feeding for the past few days costs money. Liu Xingzhi still sells it to the villagers for twenty cents per catty. If people from Qiushui Village or other villages come to buy it, then
Just add five cents more, which is considered a conscientious price! You must know that the price of pork in the city at this time has risen to thirty cents per pound, and you may not be able to buy it yet!
Every family in Liujia Village has money, and every family in Qiushui Village is also quite wealthy. A three-hundred-jin pig doesn’t even have enough money, let alone villagers from other places.
Seeing this, Liu Xingzhi asked someone to kill another head. Unexpectedly, in the end, there was still not enough to sell, and only some pork ribs and lean meat were left.
Yun Xi didn't like eating fat meat, and these were more to her liking, but in this way, there was no meat to make sausages and meatballs. Liu Xingzhi was not willing to let his wife down, so he waved his hand and killed him! So, another pig was killed
After the intestines were broken open, most of them were divided out, and the rest was left to Yunxi. With the meat, the sausages can be made first, after all, it takes several days to smoke the sausages!
Mrs. Xu helped wash the casings, Granny Liu chopped the meat, and prepared the Yunxi seasoning. Salt, cornstarch, pepper powder, cumin powder, seasoning powder, soy sauce, chili powder, cooking wine, and sugar were added in turn, and stirred evenly. Yunxi asked Liu Xing to
I made a small bamboo tube to put on the casings and stuff the meat into it. You can't use pure lean meat for making sausages. Pork belly with alternate fat and meat is best. Otherwise, front legs and hind legs can also be used.
Stuffing the mixed meat into it, Yun Xi found a ball of white thread and tied it with white thread at intervals. Then he poked a few holes with a needle, and the sausage was ready. The next step was how to smoke it!
Take some fruit wood and light it, extinguish the sparks, hang the sausage on it, surround it with an oilcloth, and then wait.
Yunxi took some orange peels and grapefruit peels that he had eaten in space before, and secretly threw them in. In this way, the smoked sausage would not only have a fruity and woody aroma, but also have a light fruity flavor! After all this busy work, it was already dark, but not
Delaying her making meatballs.
Mrs. Liu left some minced meat for her, and then chopped it into minced meat. The chopped ingredients had already been prepared in advance.
Liu Xingzhi took the knife from Yun Xi's hand and he was the one to chop the meat. He handed the washed pig lungs that he had just brought back to his wife! The pig lung soup he had last time was mixed with pepper and served with
Green onion, coriander, I was sweating after eating it, and now my mouth is watering just thinking about it.
Take the pig lungs, blanch them, add oil, ginger and garlic, heat them up, pass the pig lungs inside for a while, so that the soup will turn white. After boiling over high heat, simmer over low heat until the soup is cooked.
After cooking, sprinkle with salt, pepper, green onions, etc., and eat it with steamed buns. It is very hot.
By the time Yunxi is done cooking, Liu Xingzhi has already cooked the meat. Add the eggs, oil, sesame oil, cooking wine, light soy sauce, pepper, chicken essence, salt, and ginger that Yunxi prepared previously, and mix well.
, and then beat it in the basin, beat it a few more times, only in this way, the meatballs will be more delicious and stronger.
The beaten meatballs can be fried or boiled. Yunxi likes boiled meatballs, which are less greasy, while Liu Xingzhi likes fried meatballs, which are fragrant.
Yunxi makes some of both, mainly fried. Most people here are short of oil and water, and more people like deep-frying. The freshly fried pork balls are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sprinkled with cumin powder and chili powder
It's just delicious.
Yun Xi picked up a bowl and a large bowl of pig lung soup, and asked Liu Xingzhi to carry it to Mrs. Liu. Thanks to her and Mrs. Xu's help today, otherwise there would have been so many sausages and meatballs that he would have been busy for several days.
The New Year is over and the New Year is getting closer!
The next step was to clean up, put up Spring Festival couplets, and make steamed buns. Mrs. Liu used mung bean sprouts and mung bean flour to fry the bean dumplings, while Yunxi used spareribs to make salt-and-pepper pork ribs. Both sides exchanged some, and both enjoyed the meal.
In the past few days, the happiest thing is the child. Not only does he have delicious meat and sweets for every meal, but also the new clothes sent by Yunxi, he couldn't be happier.
Twenty-eight and twenty-nine, steaming steamed buns, steaming buns and making dumplings, killing chickens and ducks, it’s so lively!
After delivering the goods for the last time on New Year's Eve, Yunxi checked the account books, and his eyes were full of stars. After a few days of braised wolf meat and leopard meat without any money, the braised food side earned nearly thirty taels a day, and the bean sprouts earned nearly thirty taels a day.
It is fixed at a dozen taels, and the vegetables can be eaten, and there are more than two taels of silver every day. In addition, the dry seasoning ingredients are doubled, which is more than one tael a day. The income of fifty taels is more than 400 taels in eight days.
