Chapter 273 273 Cured bacon and stuffed with sausages
Author: Zhou Ji’s Nine-Life Sick Cat
Blanch the bones and pig's trotters, put them in a large pot, and simmer slowly over low heat. Half of the stewed soup is used to stew the radish, and half is used to cook the blood soup.
Qiao Hui added some charcoal to the stove and looked up at Wu Shufen: "Aunt, cousin and the others will be here tomorrow morning, right?"
Wu Shufen, who was frying pepper and salt, nodded: "They came over on the early morning bus." He raised his head and glanced at her, "lower the fire, the peppercorns will be burnt."
Qiaohui nodded and shoveled two pieces of charcoal into the inner stove. She watched Wu Shufen stir-fry the salt and pepper neatly and said, "Auntie, why is it that the dishes my mother cooks are not as delicious as yours?"
"Alas!" Wu Shufen sighed, "When your mother left, the family didn't even have food to eat, and your grandpa couldn't get the job of hosting banquets. Where can he learn to cook?"
Qiaohui thought of her parents who rarely even had a meal of meat at home: "When I make money in the future, I will buy delicious food for my parents and bring them to live in Dongshi."
She remembered that her second brother had become her second sister-in-law's son-in-law. Every time she came home, she would complain that her parents were incompetent and made him become someone else's son-in-law. When her second brother left, her stepmother secretly wiped her tears and said that she should not have given birth to them and harmed them.
Suffer in the next life.
"Silly girl," Wu Shufen glanced at her angrily, "If you want it, your brother and your mother won't agree."
Qiao Hui looked at her puzzled: "Why?"
"Why do you need a daughter to support you when you have a son? If your parents really want to live with you, your brother and sister-in-law will be stabbed in the back." Wu Shufen looked at her, "Also, when you get married and start a business, the husband's family will not agree with you.
Bring your parents to live with him at his house!"
Qiaohui thought for a while: "I want to learn my skills from my cousin. When I make money in the future, I will buy a house for my parents to live in."
Wu Shufen smiled and said: "Okay, your parents are just waiting for you, a filial daughter, to make enough money to buy a house for them to live in."
After frying the salt and pepper, put them into the pottery bowl. Wu Shufen used her cleverness to cut the pork belly, hind legs and ribs into strips and put them on straw ropes. She spread the pepper and salt on the meat strips and put them in a wooden basin to marinate overnight. Tomorrow morning
Hang it until the surface moisture dries up, then smoke it with cypress branches, sugarcane bark and chaff.
Cut the pork belly for the oil-based meat into 7 to 8 ounces, mix it evenly with salt, white wine, pepper, and peppercorns, then marinate it until tomorrow afternoon and fry it.
After the meat was marinated, Wu Shufen drained the soaked glutinous rice, poured a bowl of brown sugar powder into it, mixed it well and spread it evenly in the steamer.
I poured two large ladles of water into the pot, put a few blanched pork belly in the pot before placing the steamer in the pot, and started steaming glutinous rice to make sweet roasted white.
Qiaohui added some coal to the stove, and the charcoal fire in the stove started burning brightly.
Wu Shufen led her to cut the front meat and the back meat into thin slices.
Pour an appropriate amount of salt, white wine, grass fruit powder, pepper, Sichuan pepper powder and sea pepper noodles into the meat slices. Finally, grab a handful of rock sugar, pound it into powdered sugar, pour it in, mix the meat evenly, and put it on the chopping board to marinate.
Qiaohui carried the small intestine into the kitchen: "Auntie, do you want to make casings now?"
Wu Shufen nodded: "Well, bring me a pair of scissors."
Wu Shufen used scissors to cut off the excess oil skin on the casings of the selected small intestines, poured the small intestines into a large wooden basin filled with water, grabbed one end of the small intestines with one hand, and stroked the small intestines from beginning to end with the other hand.
Clean the dirty things inside with warm water.
Then take a chopstick, turn over a piece of small intestine and rub it onto the chopsticks, push the small intestine down, and easily turn out the inner layer of the pig's small intestine.
Rub the turned small intestine several times with flour and wash it thoroughly with water.
Do not add salt when cleaning the small intestine. Salt will change the toughness of the small intestine, causing the prepared casings to break easily when filling sausages.
Lay the turned small intestine on the washboard, scrape off the thick intestinal mud and mucosa on the surface of the small intestine, clean it, fill it with water and check if there are any holes or leaks.
If there are any, cut off the holes and leaks to prevent the flesh from squeezing out of the holes.
After cleaning, the intestinal mud and mucous membrane of the small intestine are scraped off, leaving only a thin and transparent layer of toughness, like a cicada-like film, and the sausage casing is ready.
Cut the casings to a certain length, wash them again and soak them in clean water for later use.
Qiaohui washed her hands, wiped them with her apron, and thumped her waist: "It's so troublesome to stuff sausages, my waist is almost broken."
"You won't say that when you eat the sausage."
After Wu Shufen finished speaking, she looked up at the sky and asked Qiaohui to pick up Xiaodouzi from school and take a look around the city.
She went to the woodshed to find a piece of bamboo, cut it with a machete into a length of more than an inch and less than two inches, cleaned it and set it aside for stuffing sausages later.
When Wu Shufen returned to the kitchen, the braised pork head meat in the clay pot was also cooked, exuding an alluring aroma.
"My mother-in-law, you've braised pig brain meat. You can smell the aroma as soon as you walk into the yard!" Before she finished speaking, Yang Liqun, her mother and her son walked to the door of the kitchen.
Wu Shufen nodded cheerfully: "Zhigang helped me pack the pig head meat, and I marinated it with marinade for dinner."
Wang Zhilin sniffed: "Grandma's cooking is the most delicious. I will find a wife who can cook in the future."
"Glutton!" Yang Liqun smiled and patted him, then said to Wu Shufen with a smile, "My mother-in-law, are you tired?"
"I'm not tired, I have to trouble you again." Wu Shufen fished out a piece of pig head meat with a grappling hook and cut a piece for Zhilin: "Can you help grandma taste it?"
"It smells delicious." Wang Zhilin chuckled, took the bowl aside and started eating.
Wang Zhixue saw the meat slices in the basin and said with a smile: "Grandma, you guys are so fast. Not only did you scrape the casings, but you also marinated the meat."
"No, Zhigang and Mingzi have been helping me for a long time!" Wu Shufen said, bringing the basin with the casings soaked in it to the meat basin, "I'll get you scissors and cotton thread."
Wang Zhilin pinched a piece and stuffed it into Wang Zhixue's mouth, and said loudly: "Grandma, the braised pork you make is more delicious than the ones sold."
Wu Shufen said cheerfully: "If you like it, go grab it from the jar and cut it yourself."
"Greedy!" Yang Liqun patted Wang Zhilin, held up a small stool, and the mother and son sat around in front of the big wooden basin.
Wang Zhilin wiped his hands and handed her the small bamboo tube used for canning sausages, "Mom, I don't know how to stuff sausages, let me help with other things!"
Yang Liqun gave him a sideways look: "Sluggard."
"Hey!" Wang Zhilin laughed.
Wu Shufen came out of the room with two pieces of white cotton thread and two small needles and handed them to Yang Liqun: "You guys help me fill the sausages, and I'll pick the pea tips from the radishes."
"Let Zhilin help you pick vegetables." Yang Liqun said, taking the cotton thread and cutting it into short sections with scissors for later use.
Wu Shufen nodded: "Okay, Zhilin will help me pick the vegetables, and I'll make the braised pork, steam it sweet and cook it until it's white."
Wang Zhilin swallowed after hearing this: "Grandma, I like to eat sweet roasted pork and pork belly."
Yang Liqun glared at him angrily: "Don't be ashamed, you are such an old man and you are still so greedy."
When scraping the small intestine to make casings, the scraped intestinal mud makes people feel a little nauseous and uncomfortable. But you can still make your own casings when filling the sausages. Don’t worry, the sausages will be delicious.
The cat will regret it once he scrapes it, and will continue to buy small intestines to make casings before the next Chinese New Year.
