Otherworldly Days

Chapter 216 Making Bacon

The big pig let out a shrill cry, and was choked halfway, and the sound stopped abruptly. Cao Ada, a professional pig butcher, killed a pig neatly, disemboweled it, and replaced it with a big knife. With a smaller knife, the knife seemed alive in his hand, separating the contents of the pork belly one by one.

This job is not without ten or eight years of hard work, and it really can't be so meticulous.

The pig red was packed in a big pot, and the big pot was full, and the pigs were separated one by one, and they were packed in a big pot.

"Boy, uncle is leaving now. Zhilan is still helping me look after the stall. I'll replace him." After killing the pig, Cao Ada has to rush back to sell pork. His brother is still helping to look after the pork stall. To be known by his mother, he will talk about him again later.

As he saw just now, there are quite a few unfamiliar men here, Cao Silang didn't lie to him.Cao Ada was very satisfied with the man with the big beard, and looked over frequently, that's what he should look for when looking for a man for Zhilan.

"Thank you, Uncle A, for making this trip." Cao Xiangnan noticed Cao Ada's eyes, remembered his good deeds, ahem... If he read correctly, Wang Dahu and Liu Baishu seemed to be a couple?The two men looked at each other in the wrong way.

But Wang Dahu is not successful, Wang Dahu should have many brothers, the big deal is to call one successful.

Inviting someone to kill a pig is a red envelope, and Cao Xiangnan sealed a red envelope for Cao Ada.

Cao Ada didn't refuse either, he stretched out his hand to take it, whispered something to Cao Xiangnan in a low voice, said hello, and left with his big knife.

"..." Cao Xiangnan.

Butchering pigs to make cured meat is done at this side of the old house, and Cao Xiangnan is not willing to let Qi Wanfeng come over, the scarlet all over the floor is very bloody at first glance.Qi Wanfeng and Sun Bailian still have things to do at home, and they are busy making lunch for everyone.

The morning is the time for the children to study. The children are not allowed to run out of the yard to play outside. Even if they hear the sound outside, a group of small children dare not run out, and sit on the bench obediently and write big characters.

When Cao Ada went back to the pork stall, his brother was cutting pork with a big knife. It would be hard for him to change to another father, but Cao Ada, the father, looked relieved.

Sure enough, his elder brother has inherited this good skill from Lao Tzu!

"...You go quickly." Cao Ada whispered something in his brother's ear, urging him to go quickly, as if he was late, "Father, then I will go, this stall will be handed over." I'll show you." Cao Zhilan took off the white cloth on her chest after hearing her father's grunting voice, and let her hang it around his father's neck, with joy faintly visible on her face.

Looking back, Cao Zhilan still didn't forget to call her friends over there.

Everyone in the small yard started to get busy. Before making the cured meat, the pork had to be cleaned first.

Cao Xiangnan directed everyone to work, and the cleaned casings had to be soaked for half an hour, and they would be used later when making sausages.In the front, the pork must be processed first, and then marinated, and then it can be carried on later. A pig is washed and cut in the front, and then the meat is minced. It is not a small project.Fortunately, there are quite a few of them, and everyone is able to work. After the work is divided, everyone is busy with the things at hand in an orderly manner.

"Silang, I'm here to help you. He's Qingzhu. Don't look at him as small. He's stronger than me." The tall Cao Zhilan brought a skinny brother who was a head shorter than him. , the appearance is very ordinary, both of them are older brothers in Cao's village who have not yet found their husband's family, but they have become friends in the boudoir.

The two grinned at him, Cao Xiangnan couldn't help but also smiled.

Standing together, these two people are really two extremes. One is tall and one is short, one is strong and the other is weak. Cao Xiangnan does not judge people by their appearance, and said, "Okay, let's help with the work together when you come, there is a shortage of manpower now."

"... I'll eat lunch at my place, finish the meat early, and go back early." Cao Xiangnan explained the rules to the two of them, and when they nodded and said there was no problem, he asked them to help.

Before coming here, Cao Qingzhu knew that Cao Jiashiro had [-] big money. He didn't believe it at first, but now he heard Cao Jiashilang say it himself, and he pinched himself, and it was really true.There is also a lunch. There is no lunch at home in his house. There is only one meal of porridge in the morning and evening every day. The little thing he ate in the morning is now hungry again.

"Right, I didn't lie to you." Cao Zhilan's first thought about such a good thing was his friend.

"Yeah, Zhilan, thank you." Cao Qingzhu said.

Later, it really proved what Cao Zhilan said, the thin brother of Half a Pig can easily lift it with one hand.Cao Zhilan's knife skill is [-]% that of his father's. A knife is flexible in his hand, and the cut meat is uniform in size, as if measured with a ruler.

"First cut out the skin of the meat, um, yes, separate the skin."

"Use a straw rope to pass through here."

"You put salt on these meats, like me, not too much and not too little, evenly spread."

These steps have to be done step by step. Those who are suitable for making bacon should be cut out to make bacon, and those who make sausages should be made into sausages. Cao Xiangnan directs everyone to work, and every two people are responsible for a part, and one pig is separated and reduced little by little.

It is no problem to teach others to do these things before, but he still has to make the marinade and seasoning by himself.These spices are all ground into powder, and the original shape cannot be seen. Cao Xiangnan is not worried about who has learned it. It is difficult to make the same thing if the materials are not well grasped.

Rice wine can be used in many ways. Rice wine must be used to marinate meat to cover up the taste of meat. Fortunately, he made rice wine before.Now the family brews wine every day, and the brewed wine is sealed in a jar. There are a lot of orders from Yipinzhai, and they will be sent over there when the time comes.

Cao Xiangnan plans to make several flavors of sausage and bacon, so that it can also meet the needs of people who like to eat different flavors. These things are not made for their own family, and they will be sold later.

After such a busy day, half a day has passed.

"Lunch is ready, everyone stop and come over to eat." The meal over there was ready, and Sun Bailian came over and called everyone to eat, "Okay, everyone put away your things, let's go over to have lunch first. "Cao Xiangnan shouted.

"Ah Mu." Sun Bailian saw his Eh Mu and rubbed over, and he asked, "Are you tired?"

"Fortunately, this kind of work, how can I be tired." Sun's attitude towards this brother has eased a lot now, and he often hears his husband talking about the man his brother married. Cao Gang is still the most capable man, not to mention building a big tile house with blue bricks, he is also the village head of their Caojia Village.

What his husband said was right, his brother married well, and his husband also hurt, so it was good.I don't know how many people around are envious of him.Some things can be let go, let go, and my heart is much more relaxed.

After tidying up here and locking the gate of the yard, everyone went there for lunch together.

The place for lunch is also simple. There are porridge, river noodles, and steamed buns made of coarse grains and rice noodles. There are also stir-fried vegetables and meat on the table, and a large bowl of fried eggs, which are placed on the table one by one. All enough.There are more than a dozen children in the family eating lunch with him every day. The tastes of the children must be considered. In addition, everyone is working today, and there are a few more adults than usual.

The dining table is spliced ​​together. If there are too many people, the table will be extended at the back so that everyone can sit down and have a meal.

"Everyone is free to eat, even if you are full, we have prepared everyone's portion." Seeing that there are a few more guests at home today, Qi Wanfeng is afraid that they will be shy and embarrassed, he said to everyone with a smile .

Cao Zhilan grinned like an idiot. Ah Mo cooks in his family, and the taste of the food is not as good as that of Cao Silang's. Fortunately, he and his father are not picky eaters, Ah Mo cooks. They will eat whatever they want.

I have been to Cao Silang's place to eat several times, and he especially likes the food of Cao Silang's family. The taste is really good.

In front of him was a large bowl of rice noodles, and there were a few pieces of meat in the bowl. Cao Zhilan gave Qingzhu all of them, "You eat." His family often eats meat on weekdays. He doesn't like meat very much. He knows that Qingzhu The family was poor and had no meat to eat, so they gave all the meat to Qingzhu.

Speaking of Cao Qingzhu, he was only eleven or twelve years old when his father died. One of his elder brothers was so sick that he could faint in the next field, and there were two younger brothers below him.He has to take care of E'Mu by himself, and he has to pull out the two younger ones. He does all the work in the house, but the delicious food doesn't reach his mouth.

His family is poor, and the two younger brothers are also at the age of marriage, and no one is willing to marry the elder brother into their family.Eminem is a terrible person. He has been served by the big brother for so many years on the court, and he doesn’t remember half of the big brother’s kindness. There are two little ones in his heart. The big brother is so old, and he still thinks that he is at home. Helping with the work inside, so as to save some dowry money for the two younger ones, and marry the daughter-in-law for the two younger brothers.Qingzhu is also a big hearted person, she works diligently and without any complaints.

Cao Qingzhu saw the extra meat in the bowl, glanced at it, and started to eat it.

"Em, I want Eggy." Eggy is too far away and her hands are not long enough.

"Here." Qi Wanfeng picked up a chopstick of eggs for the child and put them in his bowl. Seeing the child burying his head in the porridge, he smiled and asked, "What else do you want?" ?"

"I have the egg." So I don't want it.

Everyone ate very fast, and the things on the table disappeared quickly.

Fortunately, I know that there are a lot of people eating at home today, and several of the men eating at his home eat a lot of food. Qi Wanfeng is not a stingy person, and he prepares a lot of food, so after a meal, everyone can eat enough .

After eating a large bowl of rice noodles and a steamed bun, he drank the last bit of soup in the bowl. Cao Qingzhu felt full in his stomach. He had forgotten how long he hadn't eaten so full.He also ate several pieces of meat, even during Chinese New Year holidays when there was some meat at home, none of the meat could get into his mouth, and the smell of meat was still in his mouth.

Cao Zhilan winked at Cao Qingzhu, meaning I didn't lie to you.

This fake brother has completely forgotten that his father and aunt told him to come here to find a man, so he only cares about working and eating, "Everyone rest here for a while after eating, we will go there in half an hour Side." After eating, Cao Xiangnan didn't let everyone go there to work immediately, but asked everyone to sit and rest in the living room for a while.
