This morning Gu Qiqi was busy doing these two things and eating.
After finishing the work, Butler Jian happened to be back.
Behind him was Shan Lei who picked something unknown. Behind Shan Lei was Fu An, who held a pair of pig intestines in his hands.
Behind them were Shan Qing and Shan Qiang, each carrying half a fan of pork.
When Lixia saw this, he was surprised and said: "Captain Shan Lei, are you taking everyone to rob somewhere?"
Shan Lei put the two baskets of things under the eaves and replied: "Butler Jian just went to arrange for people to kill the pigs, so we went with him without anything to do, and we made a robbery there by the way."
"This basket is made of fat. Nowadays, as a big family like this girl, we must use oil for cooking. Therefore, the fat of two pigs killed today was recovered by us."
"In the basket here are pig feet, pork belly, pork liver, pig lungs, pork loin, and two pig heads. There are also two chickens."
"The pig intestines are very smelly, so I asked Fu An to bring them back alone."
"What's going on with those two fans of pork?" Lixia asked again.
"Haha... This is not because the girl is back. She must want to get bacon, so we took advantage of the pig farm to kill pigs today and just killed them and brought them back." Shan Qiang followed behind and said with a smile.
.
Lixia pointed to the two big pig heads in the basket: "These two must be what you want to eat, right?"
Shan Qiang replied: "This is what the captain asked for."
Shan Lei: "I'm not thinking about it. Anyway, now that we have more people, let the girl teach us how to handle it together. When the time comes, we can make it and serve it as a meal for the master and Mr. Qi."
Li Xia: "I think this is what you want to eat. You two are just like the two bastards in this basket. It's the girl who loves you. I think you, the guard, are the happiest guards in the world."
After finishing her work, Gu Qiqi smiled and said: "Okay, we have to do it anyway. They have been working hard for more than half a year. It is the Chinese New Year, and everyone should have something good to eat. But since you want to eat, you have to help.
Together."
"Fu An, go and clean the pig intestines and tripe, make some pork tripe and chicken for lunch, make some fat sausage with sour bamboo shoots, twice-cooked pork slices with green pepper, and stir-fry pork liver."
"Peel some more sweet potatoes and potatoes. The sweet potatoes will be used to make rice noodles, sweet potato steamed pork ribs, and spicy and sour potato shreds. Finally, let's have some stir-fried Chinese cabbage."
"Six dishes and one soup! Girl, sooner or later you will spoil everyone like this." Lixia said with a small mouth.
Gu Qiqi: "My people, let me pamper you. This is not normal. Go and help. Go and help cut the pork into strips. I will pickle it later and clean the pig's trotters and pig head."
"We can do whatever you want. Don't do everything yourself, girl." Li Xia's dissatisfaction was not because she felt sorry for Gu Qiqi.
Only Fang Yu knew Gu Qiqi, so when Li Xia was talking to Shan Lei and his group, she had already started to help break down the two pork fans.
Remove the ribs separately and remove the bones from the pork legs separately. These are good things for making soup.
After removing the bones, there is a thin layer of lean meat in the pig belly that can be torn off directly.
This piece of meat is especially delicious when used to make crispy pork, or it is also great when stir-fried with chili peppers.
After a tiger operation, you only need to cut the remaining meat into strips.
Gu Qiqi went to the kitchen and started making marinades.
Rice wine, soy sauce, and salt are all necessary, and the rest can be added according to personal preference.
After preparing the seasoning, smear the pork strips one by one, then put it in a clean pot and submerge it for a day or two to deepen the flavor.
After marinating and then smoking, you can finally make successful bacon.
The busy days were actually very happy, and everyone was very satisfied with their lunch.
Gu Qiqi made the pig head into braised pork head meat, which is a good dish to go with wine.
Gu Qiqi had pickled the pig's trotters together with the pork, and she was going to process them into bacon trotters.
Cured pig's trotters are also very good for making hot pot, as well as for cooking soybeans. It doesn't have to be braised.
She cleaned the pig intestines and processed them into sausages.
The processed sausage is delicious grilled or fried.

In the past few days a year ago, Gu Qiqi was busy making various kinds of food at home.
Bacon is made, salted duck eggs, and preserved eggs are made.
There are also glutinous rice cakes and sweet rice wine.
She has prepared all the New Year's goods.
All that's left is to wait for the New Year.
However, the Dayong New Year celebration is very simple.
Regardless of whether you live in the south or the north, you generally don't need to visit any relatives. All you have to do is arrange and give gifts before the year.
During the Chinese New Year, I stayed at home.
It’s too cold in the north during the Chinese New Year, so I rarely go out.
Compared with the south, it is much better because the weather is much warmer.
Gu Qiqi spent a few days preparing enough New Year's goods for her family, and on the morning of New Year's Eve, she took her father and grandfather to go fishing in their lake.
It just so happened that God was very cooperative on this day, and the sun came up rarely.
But when they were halfway out, Gu Qiqi met Chang Wu and Chang Ning, who were driving back in a carriage.
Looking back at Zhao Song, Zhao Hu is also back.
"Miss Tao, we are back." Seeing Gu Qiqi, Chang Wu raised his hand to say hello from afar.
When they came to bring Gu Qiqi to them, Gu Qiqi asked with confusion: "Why are you here?"
Chang Wu smiled and replied: "It's not just us, look at who else is here."
Just as he finished speaking, Nangong Ye walked out of the carriage.
When Gu Qiqi saw Nangong Ye, she was still in a daze for a moment. When she realized what she was doing, she wanted to kneel down quickly. After all, he was the emperor now.
But Nangong Ye saw Gu Qiqi's actions at a glance, and immediately got out of the car to stop him: "We don't need these etiquettes between us. Where are you going?"
After saying that, Nangong Ye did not forget to bow down and salute Gu Bei and Mr. Qi as a junior: "Uncle Gu, grandpa."
When Gu Bei and Mr. Qi saw Nangong Ye lowering his body to greet them, they nodded with kind smiles on their faces.
Mr. Qi replied: "Qiqi is preparing to take us fishing. Mr. Nan, do you want to come with us?"
Nangong Ye: "Fishing? Then let's go together."
After saying that, he turned to Chang Wu and Chang Ning and said, "You guys drive the carriage back and put the things away. I'll go fishing with the old man and Uncle Gu."
Chang Wu: "Wherever you go fishing, we will come there soon."
How can they miss things that they have never played before?
Mr. Qi replied: "It's the lake in front, where we fish."
"Okay, we'll be here soon." After Chang Wu finished speaking, he drove the carriage and continued walking toward the yard on the mountain.
Mr. Qi took Nangong Ye towards the lake.
Gu Qiqi was left standing behind alone with a confused look on his face.
