Looking at He Yuzhu who turned to leave, Lin Fan remembered that he seemed to still have five pounds of pig water that was still frozen and unprocessed. Thinking back, Lin Fan shouted: "Silly Zhu, wait a minute."
He Yuzhu, who was about to cross the middle courtyard, paused, turned around and asked, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"
Lin Fan parked his bicycle and said, "That's right. I bought a few kilograms of pigs last time, but after I got them home, I realized that I didn't know how to do it. Could you please help me do it?"
After saying that, Lin Fan felt a little embarrassed.
After hearing this, He Yuzhu waved his hand: "Hey, I thought it was something. Just leave this little thing to me. I'm a cook. Is it any trouble to deal with something as simple as pigs getting into the water?"
"Okay, just wait a moment, I'll get it to you when I get home."
After saying that, Lin Fan opened the door, walked quickly into the house, walked to the place where the pigs were kept, and took out the frozen and hard pigs.
"Here, it's really troublesome. I just wanted to watch the pigs in the water for free, so I bought more, but I didn't expect that I couldn't do it myself."
Lin Fan handed the bag containing the pig's sewer to He Yuzhu and thanked him very sincerely.
"Hey, it's a small thing, just wait, I'll do it for you when I get back."
He Yuzhu took the bag, said hello and left the backyard.
"This silly Zhu has a bad mouth, but he is still a nice person."
Looking at He Yuzhu's back, Lin Fan sighed with emotion.
He Yuzhu was a chef. When he went out to help people prepare a banquet, he would pay at least five yuan. Unexpectedly, He Yuzhu left without saying anything about his compensation.
Lin Fan planned to wait until He Yuzhu finished it, and at least half a pound of pigs would be left in the water as a reward.
Anyway, he has no shortage of things like pigs in the water, but it would also be good if he could learn this skill from He Yuzhu.
But Lin Fan also knows that this is a bit whimsical, and he has no apprenticeship. How could He Yuzhu easily hand over this skill to you.
After shaking his head, Lin Fan turned around and went home. He still had to make lard.
Put away the things you bought, and you don’t have to worry about the pork getting spoiled. It’s such a cold day in Sijiu City. Basically, when you open the door, it becomes a natural refrigerator.
No, it's lower than the temperature of the refrigerator.
In the past, when I watched a certain audio and video clip, I was often reminded of how cold the winter in the north is. Many northerners said that they could just pack the meat they bought in winter and bury it in the snow.
refrigerator?
No, just put some popsicles, leftovers and the like.
Because the space is sealed.
That's why Lin Fan can safely buy the meat and store it without worrying about spoilage.
Although Sijiucheng is not as cold as Northeast China, the temperature in winter is still more than ten degrees below zero.
I took out ten pounds of pork suet from the ranch warehouse, but no one saw it anyway.
However, Lin Fan would not go outside to clean it, as he might be seen by others, so it would be difficult to explain these ten pounds of pork suet.
Bring the water back from outside, pour it into the prepared enamel basin, cut the lard oil slightly and clean it.
Slowly cut the pork suet into small pieces and pack them.
When the stove is ready, pour a little water into the pot, half a bowl is enough.
Then pour the cut pork suet into the pot, stir slowly over low heat, wait until the water dries, and cook slowly over low heat.
Stir occasionally during the process, and then wait until all the oil residue floats and turns brown, then add 10 peppercorns and fry slowly over low heat for 2-3 minutes.
Adding Sichuan peppercorns can remove the fishy smell of lard, and then it can be packed.
The aroma of cooking lard spread far away, and gradually the whole yard was filled with smells.
But this time, although everyone was a little envious, they didn't say much.
Most of the residents in this courtyard work at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. Although not many people know that Lin Fan received a reward from the director today.
But things like this spread quickly.
In this age where there is not much entertainment, anything happens quickly.
At first, they were very jealous that Lin Fan got the meat ticket, but as time went by, everyone also understood that Lin Fan had real abilities, received praise from the director, and completed the tasks assigned by the director on his own.
But everyone still couldn't help but murmur in their hearts that Lin Fan, who knew how to live a good life, could actually buy so much fat.
Now Lin Fan's house is completely free of meat, and I admire him for being able to buy so much fat meat.
There were quite a few people going out with him in the morning, but most of the people who stayed away bought fat and thin meat because they went late.
It’s the New Year, and there are still a lot of things to do.
Clean up the house.
Taking a broom and a rag, Lin Fan began to clean the house carefully. Lin Fan cleaned the corners that he usually didn't notice with great care.
This is my first New Year's Eve in the 1960s, so of course I have to be careful.
The room is not big, and there are not many things in it. Lin Fan is almost done in one morning.
When it was almost noon, He Yuzhu took the treated pigs into the water and came to the backyard.
"Lin Fan, you're at home. The pig you want is ready. I'll bring it to you."
The large bowl held in He Yuzhu's hand contained prepared pig waste.
"Oh, I'm really sorry to trouble you."
Lin Fan quickly stood up from the chair, took the bowl from He Yuzhu's hand, turned around and poured it into the bowl at home, leaving almost a fifth of it.
He would not be stupid enough to keep the bowl in He Yuzhu's hand. No one has many bowls at home.
"Si Zhu, thank you. You can take these back and treat them as my thank you gifts. I don't know how much you usually get paid for going out."
Lin Fan said: "Don't refuse, it's not easy for everyone. Don't refuse this thing. You also know my current salary. I can feed myself and the whole family is not hungry. I can still afford this little thing."
He Yuzhu wanted to refuse, but since Lin Fan said so, he couldn't refuse anymore: "Okay, then I will accept it shamelessly."
Although he took advantage of the government, he felt that since the factory leaders were running a small business, there was nothing wrong with taking some for himself.
As he said: Just allow them to drink workers’ blood, but you can’t let me drink some soup.
But for ordinary workers, they won't say anything about compensation for a little help.
"Si Zhu, have you eaten?"
Lin Fan looked at his watch and saw that it was already lunch time, so he asked casually.
"Not yet, isn't this your business?"
"Well, let's have lunch at my place. Let's have some drinks. We have these cooked vegetables. I'll get some peanuts. I haven't had a drink with you yet."
"Okay, then I'm welcome."
He Yuzhu thought that he happened to be communicating with Lin Fan, so he agreed, at best, I can invite him back next time.
After finishing the cooked food, Lin Fan fried some peanuts. He knew that He Yuzhu had a special hobby for peanuts.
There is still a lot of wine. I always have more than two kilograms of loose wine at home. I just bought it back yesterday.
The two of them drank a pound of white wine, but didn't drink much. They both had things to do in the afternoon.
