Back to the Red Age

Chapter 117 Qin Ming’s blind date
Early the next morning, Qin Ming got up. He first went to the city to buy small intestines, and then bought some other things before returning home. When he was approaching the entrance of the village, he picked up a dog from the system space and put it on the The basket in front of the car was something he borrowed from Orion's house in the village. Fortunately, Zhang Orion's dogs were a male and a female, so he left such a hard work.

"Uncle is back, wow, there is a dog..."

Tiepi was playing with his younger brothers and sisters in the yard. When he saw Qin Ming coming back, he ran over to greet him. As a result, he saw a half-sized puppy in the basket of the bicycle. The children's eyes suddenly lit up and they started barking and pounced. passed.

Qin's mother took Qin Wuni and Zhang Yinghong to make clothes in the house. When she heard the commotion and came out, she saw a white dog playing with several children. Qin Ming was taking things from the car, including a large string of small intestines and a heart and lungs. As well as some other food, the three of them hurried over to help.

"Is it cold? You must be exhausted from the journey. Go in and rest quickly. Let your sister and sister-in-law pack these things." Qin's mother asked after greeting her. When she saw the dog playing with the child, she looked up at her and shouted at her. As she wagged her tail, Qin's mother suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, where did you get this dog? It can recognize people."

The dog raised in the system space has smooth skin and is full of intelligence. Qin Ming has already greeted it in advance and knows that he is taking it home. At this time, he neither barks nor makes trouble, and behaves very well. .

"It's true, this dog is really obedient." The women were no longer in a hurry to help unload the goods, and joined the children to play with the dog. The one Qin Ming brought back is naturally a member of the family. Let's get familiar with the dog. It also saves you from being bitten by dogs when you go in and out later, right?

"This dog has a slender body and strong legs. He is a good hunter at first glance!" Qin's father was playing with straw sandals in the house. When he heard the noise and came out, his eyes lit up. A hunting dog is a good match for a hunter, but there are only two hunting dogs in the village. He Although he was also greedy, it was hard to find good hunting dogs. He still thought that when the old Zhang family's hunting dogs gave birth to puppies, he would catch one and raise it, but he didn't expect that Qin Ming had already got it for him.

"This can't be done. Look at this dog. It doesn't even bark. It just wag its tail at people everywhere. I'm afraid it won't work." Qin Sanniu disagreed. People and hunting dogs are very fierce. Look at their dog, his eyes are full of docility. , it doesn’t look like being able to go hunting in the mountains at all.

"Who said that? Even if you don't hunt, this dog can still look after the house and the courtyard. Today, I will make the decision to keep this dog." Qin's mother glared at her third son. This third son really couldn't speak. Even if If you can’t go hunting in the mountains, can’t you still look after your home and protect your home?
"Mom is right!" Qin Sanniu said coquettishly, but he was not happy in his heart. Their Hongliang Village is not far from the Yongding River, and the people who look after the home and courtyard are all big geese. Because they don't have enough food, they can still go to the river by themselves. Catch small fish and shrimps to eat. Now if you have a dog, you have to feed it with food. My mother is biased because my younger brother brought the dog back, so she decided to keep it.

"I think this dog is okay. Yaoyao, let's take the dog and go for a spin in the mountains." Qin's father felt itchy and planned to go into the mountains to try.

"What are you going to do in the mountains in this weather? You didn't get anything from yesterday's set. It's better to make straw sandals at home." Qin's mother disapproved. The old Qin family is a hard-working family. Now there is no freeze-drying work in the fields. The family members She was not idle either. She took her daughter and daughter to work as female bridesmaids, while Lao Qintou took his two sons to the reeds by the river to cut reed poles and come back to make straw sandals. These are light and comfortable to wear when working in the fields in summer, so they are a must. Something less.

"It's okay. It won't work if you sit for a long time. Dad, take your dog for a spin and exercise your body. I'll make bacon and sausages at home."

Qin Ming had already said so. Qin's mother told Lao Qin to leave early and come back early. The eldest and third children followed into the mountains. Qin Ming started to process the meat. Qin's mother took Qin Wuni and Zhang Yinghong to do the same. Come over to help, a few people are twisting the pig hair, while Qin Ming is frying the salt for curing the bacon.

Heat the pot over low heat, then pour in the salt, peppercorns, star anise, and bay leaves, and stir constantly with a spoon until the aroma of the spices is stir-fried, and the white salt begins to turn slightly yellow. It is considered ready. Take out the spices and salt and put them aside to dry, and then Qin Ming cooks the sauce and meat ingredients again. This process is relatively simple. You only need to put the soy sauce, sugar, salt, and spices into the water and cook them directly. It is very easy. Soon, the sauce and meat ingredients were ready. Qin Ming took out a clean jar, sterilized it with wine and poured the sauce into it.

"Brother, we have already cleaned all the hair on the pork skin. Shall I take it and wash it?" Qin Wuni doesn't talk much at home. She is a person with a low sense of presence. Today, she was stimulated by the big pot of pork. The whole person was also a little excited.

"Okay? Don't wash it." Qin Ming walked out of the house carrying a jar of Erguotou. "You can't wash the bacon sauce with water. It will break easily if it comes in contact with water. You have to use wine to wash it. It can sterilize and kill bacteria." It adds flavor.”

Qin Ming opened the seal on the wine jar, and the clear wine poured down.

"Oh, so much, it's such a waste. This wine is the essence of food, so you can't be so irritated!" The expressions of several women in the Qin family changed. Mother Qin, who has always been diligent and thrifty, almost slapped her with a slap in the face. Thinking that the prodigal was her darling, she forcibly held back and did not do anything, but her mouth was filled with distress.

"Mom, you don't know that this thing needs to be thoroughly sterilized. Not only does it taste delicious, but it also lasts a long time and won't be afraid of spoilage in the dog days of summer."

After hearing Qin Ming's words, Qin's mother opened her mouth, but finally didn't say anything. She just asked Qin Wuni and Zhang Yinghong to help her back to the room to rest, "My legs are weak and I can't walk."

Qin Ming does know why Qin's mother can't walk. Yue Mo is still worried about the food, but this matter is indeed not a waste of money for him. After all, some ingredients are not processed by washing them with water. Fortunately, this is making bacon. , I will kill the pig tomorrow and I will have to wash my large intestine with white flour. By then, will the old lady be so distressed that she won’t get off the bed?
"Mom, don't feel bad. Your son can earn enough. From now on, he can afford to eat meat and drink wine three times a day."

"Bah, who wants to eat meat and drink three meals a day? Landlords and rich people don't do that. Stop talking nonsense." Qin's mother was angry and laughed, but in the end she felt sorry for Qin Mingming who had to work in the freezing cold, leaving Qin Wuni and Zhang Yinghong When Qin Ming went out to help, he was not polite and asked the two of them to help rub the fried spices and salt on the meat.

"Uncle, when can we eat meat?" Cuicui looked at it with tears streaming down her cheeks. She had never seen so much meat at home in her entire life.

"It's still early. Let's marinate it for three days to get the flavor first, then smoke it and dry it, and wait for six or seven days before eating it." This was already the fastest, but when Cuicui stretched out her little finger to poke it, she hurriedly He stopped her and said, "Cui Cui, I don't want to taste this meat. It's raw. Eating it will cause diarrhea."

"I'm sorry, uncle, Cuicui is wrong." Cuicui apologized with aggrieved look. The pitiful look made Qin Ming's heart soften. The little niece was so cute that he couldn't bear to blame him, "Cui Cui wants to eat it." Meat, how about my uncle make you a slippery meat pad to pad your belly today?"

The smooth meat slices taste tender and refreshing, and the soup, meat and vegetables also taste warm, which is perfect for this cold weather. "That's great, we have some meat to eat." Cuicui was still at the age where she was happy as long as she had meat, and she clapped her hands happily.

"What's the fuss about? I heard your voice from so far away." Wang Limei's voice came. The little girl who had just been clapping her hands and laughing was instantly frightened into silence. She stood there and looked towards the courtyard door to see Wang Limei. Come in and call out "Mother" in a low voice.

Seeing Cuicui like this, Qin Ming frowned. This third sister-in-law was really bad at disciplining her children. Look how scared she was when she appeared.
But Wang Limei didn't think there was anything wrong with her behavior. Instead, she scolded her eldest daughter, "Yuanyuan, there are guests at home. Hurry up and pour tea for your aunt and cousin."

"Okay, ma'am." Yuanyuan agreed, put down the pork she was handling and was about to stand up. Qin Ming said, "Sister-in-law three has a guest? Please entertain yourself. We are busy here."

"Look at the look in my eyes. I was in such a hurry that I didn't pay attention. I'm busy. This is my aunt and cousin. They are here to visit me today." Wang Limei didn't dare to say anything to Qin Ming and glared at Yuanyuan. , and quickly introduced the person behind him to Qin Ming, "Third aunt, Xiaoru, this is my brother-in-law Qin Ming."

"Are you Qin Ming? You are so good-looking. What are you doing? Why do you have so much meat in your family?" Before the third aunt could speak, Xiaoru ran over happily.

"Third sister-in-law, it's not convenient for us to receive guests here. You can take them to your mother's house." Qin Ming frowned, a little unhappy with Wang Limei's behavior. This third sister-in-law has to be delayed for several days every time she returns to her mother's house. Today But it only took a long time to get back, while she was curing bacon. Did she deliberately show off her wealth in front of her family to satisfy her vanity, or was it just a coincidence?

"Okay, I'll go find mom." Wang Limei smiled and pulled her aunt and cousin into the house. Before entering the house, the two of them frequently looked back at Qin Ming. Wang Limei was overjoyed. She knew that with the conditions of the Qin family, , plus Qin Ming is so handsome, no matter how arrogant this cousin is, she has to admit defeat when she sees Qin Ming. As for Qin Ming's obviously cold appearance, Wang Limei doesn't care. The colder Qin Ming is, the more cold he becomes. In the future, when Xiaoru gets married, she will be more grateful for her matchmaking. The three of them entered the house, but the women outside looked at each other.

"It's true, Li Mei. It's such a coincidence that you brought someone back at this time. It's not a good thing to have someone see such old flesh." Zhang Yinghong looked worried, "That's right. It’s strange, it’s almost the New Year, how can anyone choose to visit relatives at this time?”

Zhang Yinghong murmured in confusion. After all, the Lunar New Year is also an important day for family reunion here, and few people choose to visit relatives at this time.

"Brother, tell me, the third sister-in-law is trying to match you, right?" Qin Wuni poked Qin Ming with her little hand. She observed carefully and felt something was wrong in her heart, "That woman just entered. The eyeballs at the courtyard gate looked over. The girl saw the flesh at first sight, and then she looked at you. But you can’t do it. If you are really looking at each other, how can any girl stare at the man as soon as he comes up? of?"

Qin Wuni wasn't sure. After all, she thought this was too shocking. Even her younger brother was shy at first when there were so many girls at home.

"What? Matchmaker? Uncle, then you have to be careful. I heard my mother say that Wang Xiaoru is very arrogant. She has always said that she is beautiful since she was a child, and that she will marry someone who will live happily in the city." Yuanyuan With a nervous look on her face, she quickly said what she overheard her mother saying. After saying that, she probably felt that it was not good to speak ill of people behind their backs, so she embarrassedly asked Qin Ming to keep it a secret for them.

"Sister-in-law, fifth sister, Yuanyuan, please stop making random guesses. I told my mother that we don't care about each other. Let's get to work first." This Xiaoru has a bit of an eccentric vibe, and she also has fair skin. She is beautiful and upright, but Qin Ming is not interested in her.

Wang Xiaoru's laughter could be heard faintly in the room, and everyone in the Qin family outside the room increased their speed.

After putting the bacon and sauce meat into the vat respectively, Qin Ming processed the lamb intestines and soaked them in water, and then started to cut the meat to make sausages. There are many ratios of fat and thin sausages, but Qin Ming still prefers to use [-]%. Leg meat, [-]% fat meat and [-]% lean meat. The sausage made with this ratio is neither oily nor firewood, and tastes just right.

Sterilize the cut meat with white wine to remove the smell, then add salt and spices, mix well, and then you can start enema. There are no machines at this time, everything is made by hand. First, thread the cleaned casings Tie a knot, then put the other end on a clean bamboo tube, and then stuff the meat into the bamboo tube. As the meat pieces continue to be stuffed into the bamboo tube, they will eventually flow into the casing.

Qin Ming's speed was very fast, and the casing was filled almost instantly. The women who watched were stunned.

"Brother, you are so awesome." Qin Wuni looked dumbfounded. Although everyone in the family knew that Qin Ming was the chef, he had hardly done anything at home as a chef. Today, Yuanyuan is considered a master. It opened my eyes, "I wish I could have skills like yours."

"What's the point? Fifth sister, do you like me to teach you?" In his previous life, the twin sister with a weak sense of presence left early, so he didn't know what the other party was good at. Seeing her interest in cooking, he immediately gave her advice. Getting up, Zhang Yinghong quickly took Yuanyuan away. It was fine before, but now they are passing on skills and it is not suitable for them to be here.

Qin Wuni really has some talent for cooking. With a little guidance from Qin Ming, she can get started. Although it is not standardized, she is already much better than the naive Qin Sihuo.

"Well done Fifth Sister, you can practice with me at home first. When spring comes, I will take you to Fengze Garden." He is the head chef of Fengze Garden, so it is no problem to bring an apprentice in. Yes, when Qin Wuni completes her studies, there will be another craftsman in the family who can carry a large spoon.

"Yaoyao, how do you feel about Xiaoru just now?" Qin Ming and Qin Wuni were busy talking when Qin's mother suddenly walked in and said, "Your third sister-in-law went back to her parents' home today and happened to meet her cousin. Someone acted as a matchmaker for her daughter, and then she brought her back. If you are a matchmaker, mother, go and tell them, how about a kiss?"

Qin Wuni and Qin Ming blinked and said, "Let's see, that's what I guess."
