Chapter 56 Making Bacon

The two tables that were later added to the family were moved to the yard and put together together. Butcher Gao, Lao Er Su, and a few villagers who came to watch the fun helped, and together they moved the big fat pig from the ox cart to the table. superior.

"Uncle Gao, I'm going to sell bacon. You can cut it more beautifully for me. I plan to make ham from the two hind legs of the pig. You can do whatever else you want."

"Okay, Su Yatou, you just have to take a look. Now I'm going to show you your uncle Gao's craftsmanship."

The butcher Gao has been butchering pigs for ten years, and his skills are not bad. He removed the pig's head and trotters in a few strokes and placed them in a wooden basin nearby.He changed to an ax and cut the pig into two parts, then used a bone razor to shave off the pig's ribs and set them aside, and then used a different knife to remove the pig's front and rear legs.In the end, the remaining meat was changed into strips of pork belly. The size of the changed meat was about two kilograms.Su Yu was very satisfied with Gao Butcher's knife skills, which saved the family a lot of trouble.

In less than half an hour, a big fat pig turned into four big pots in the hands of the butcher Gao. One pot was filled with various kinds of pig offal, one pot was modified pork belly, the third pot was the front and rear legs of the pig, and finally the remaining It's pork suet.

"Uncle Gao, your craftsmanship is getting better and better. I plan to start the bacon business in the future, and I will buy pigs from your house after I finish it."

"That's a good relationship. If you keep it at my house for a long time, uncle will give it to you at a cheaper price."

"Thank you very much, uncle."

As soon as Butcher Gao left, the Su family also got busy. They brought the pork belly to be marinated on the table, sprinkled the previously mixed seasoning on it, poured in soju and salt, and left the rest of the kneading work to their boss. Dad, my small body really doesn’t have much strength.

Second Su took over the job. After kneading, the bacon was stacked in another basin, and the husband and wife went to the stove to put it away.Then start to process the ribs. At first, Su Yu planned to make cured ribs. Just like the cured bacon before, the ingredients were evenly wiped and moved into the house.And finally the two hind legs of the pig.Su Yu planned to make ham, so he evenly coated the two hams with seasoning, covered the outer layer with a thick layer of salt, put a lot of stones in the corner of the room, put a board on it, and put the two hind legs on it , and then put a board on it, and finally press the stone, and it should be almost the same after pressing for 20 days.

While the father and daughter were dealing with these, Lian took a basin of pig intestines to the river to wash them, and now she is back.The bacon is made of pork belly, and the leftover front legs are some. The mother and daughter chopped them up and mixed them with seasoning to make sausages. The tools for enema in ancient times were not very convenient, and every household used bamboo tubes to stuff sausages.After filling the bamboo tube with meat, put a casing on one end, and press it down with a smaller bamboo tube on the other side. It took a long time for the family to finish all this.The only thing left is the pig's offal, and the Su fish is not wasted. It is directly stewed in a pot. The smell of the Su family's braised pig's offal directly drifts half of the village. At night, no one is in the mood to eat. People with children Crying and arguing for meat, he was beaten and screamed by adults.

I'm complaining about the Su family in my heart, your family eats meat, why do you cook it so delicious, and crying for the baby in the family, this is too much.

The Su family didn't have any sense of self-consciousness. When it was getting dark, Su Laoer went to deliver a copy to the village chief's family, and Mrs. Lian went to deliver a copy to Yang Ermei's family.

Yesterday, the village head and his family all went to visit relatives, and no one was at home. When they came back and heard about what happened to the Su family, the family was angry with Mrs. Liu for losing people from Yujia Village.The village chief planned to let his eldest son go to Su's house in the evening, but he didn't expect the second son Su to come.

"Second brother, that's the kind of person Mrs. Liu is. Don't worry about her. No matter how much she suffers, she doesn't have a long memory. Man Jiang is a good person, but with such a mother, she has lived a miserable life. "

"Uncle, I know everything you said, and I won't care about Mrs. Liu's incident this time. It's just that my family will not dare to get involved with a family like this in the future."

The village chief sighed inwardly, and didn't say anything in the end. It was all his own fault. He wanted to help Mrs. Liu, but people probably wouldn't appreciate it if they knew about it.

The next day, Lian went to Yang Ermei's house and asked them if they wanted to start the pig offal business, and if they wanted to do it, they could get the goods from her house.

When Yang Ermei heard that there was such a good thing, there was no one who disagreed. The pork head meat sent by the Su family last night was full of oil in his family's mouth. What did the Su family do?

"Auntie, this business is run by my family. When the time comes, let Doudou's father sell it. It's just a job for your family. I'm afraid he won't be able to do it."

"These are all small things. I just came to ask. If your family wants to make some, I will keep it for your family. There is still a lot of braised food from yesterday. Ask Zhushan to pick up an earthen pot and go to my house to get it. The price is five cents. A pound.”

"Sure, I'll let Doudou's father go over later."

Not long after, Xu Zhushan came over, picked up a load, and put an earthen jar on one end.

"Auntie."

"Zhu Shan is here, bring the earthen pot in, and Auntie will get you some brine."

I ate some of the marinated water yesterday and gave some away, and the remaining two earthen pots were filled with half of each.

"Auntie, I don't even know what to say."

Xu Zhushan is not a ungrateful person. He naturally knows that the Su family did all this to repay his mother and daughter-in-law for their help in the past two days. In his opinion, it is nothing. The Su family is giving money to his family for free. .

"It's all from neighbors, and no one in my family has time to sell it. It's better to give it to your family instead of selling it to anyone. But Zhushan, how much do you plan to sell for a catty of braised water?"

"Auntie, I plan to sell it for eight cents per catty."

"You are such a down-to-earth kid. You listen to my aunt and sell it for ten cents per catty. You carry a load and go to the alleys of the town to sell it."

This price was also told by Su Yu to Lianshi in advance, otherwise Lianshi would not be able to remember it.

The Xu family plans to sell it for eight cents a catty. This pig offal is delicious, and they are afraid that others may shake their heads when they hear that it is made of pig offal.Now my aunt said to let him sell it for ten cents a catty, and pork is only sold for ten cents a catty. Would anyone really buy this pig offal without buying pork?

"There are not many goods today, so you sell it for ten cents first. If no one buys it in the end, you can lower the price and sell it out before dark."

"I listen to my aunt."

As soon as Xu Zhushan left with the burden, word spread in the village that the stewed water smell was so strong, and it was the same smell that came from Su's house yesterday, how could the villagers not know about it.

Many people were hooked by the taste yesterday, and they are still scratching their heads. When they heard that Xu Zhushan was going to sell pigs into the water, some people wanted to buy some. When they heard that it cost ten yuan a catty, many people hesitated. In the end, I bought two or three, not many, and one family bought a catty to taste it. It sounds like a lot, but which one is not a dozen or so, divide it, divide it, and you can’t divide it into two.
