Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 33
Zhixin saw that the blood was almost done, so he put the basin aside and went to shed the pig.Xue found a sorghum stalk, split it in the middle, folded it into a triangle, put it in a basin and stirred it continuously. "Jinghan, come here, help mother stir this blood, be sure to stir slowly, until the sorghum stalks are all covered with blood, and then stop. Mother will help your father, we will pour blood sausage in a while, and we will eat it at night Sauerkraut, white meat and blood sausage."

When Jinghan heard this, she quickly took the sorghum stalks and kept stirring them in the pot.The blood sausage is naturally eaten. This sauerkraut white meat blood sausage is a famous dish in Northeast China, and it can only be eaten when pigs are slaughtered.Jinghan likes to eat this dish very much, but her family didn't raise pigs for many years in her previous life, so she couldn't eat this authentic dish.I didn't expect to be able to eat this dish in another time and space, and my saliva would flow out just thinking about it.

Not to mention that Jinghan is stirring up pig blood here, but Zhixin has scalded all the pig hairs with hot water over there.Then he disemboweled the pig, took out the water inside, and threw it into a large basin.Mrs. Xue saw that Zhixin's work was almost done, so she took the basin to the well to clean the unloaded goods.Rinse everything with clean water first, and wash the heart, liver and lungs with clean water twice, then put them in a basin.In addition, clean the pig intestines, which are the dirtiest. You have to wash them with plant ash, then with alkaline water, and finally with vinegar. This is the end of the job.

After the intestines were washed, Mrs. Chen also prepared all the ingredients for the blood sausage.The taste of blood sausage is all about the seasoning. Generally, onion, ginger, garlic and pepper noodles are put in it, and some fat meat should be cut into it, so that the cooked blood sausage will be delicious.Mrs. Chen put all the ingredients into the pig's blood and stirred vigorously with sorghum straw.

Just as Mrs. Xue came over with the washed intestines, Mrs. Chen was filling the sausage with blood, while Mrs. Xue went to cut the meat and sauerkraut.Mrs. Chen took a funnel with a pig's small intestine attached to it. The other end of the small intestine was tied with a string, and pig blood was poured into the funnel.In this way, the pig's blood can be poured into the pig's intestines.Fill it a few times, and blow it with your mouth to see if there is any gas in it, and just pour it one by one.The length of a blood sausage is only about one and a half feet. It is too long to pour blood into it. When the blood is almost filled, tie this end with a string.

Boiling water was boiling in the pot, and Mrs. Chen put the blood sausage into the boiling water. The fire was heated under the pot, and the water boiled again after a while.Mrs. Chen squeezed the needle in her hand and kept piercing the blood sausage, firstly to let the air out, and secondly to see if the blood sausage was cooked.As long as there is no blood on the needle, the blood sausage must be quickly removed.It won't taste good if it's overcooked.

Zhixin had cut the pig into pieces, and the big bones had been shaved off.Mrs. Chen poured out the water that boiled the blood sausage in the pot, then cleaned the pot, added more water, and put the big bones in the pot to simmer.When the bone soup turned pale, Mrs. Xue also cut a large pot full of sauerkraut, and there was also a lot of fat.Pour the sauerkraut into the pot and cook, and put all the fat slices in, and keep cooking like this, and at the same time, put some seasonings in it.After a while, the unique taste of sauerkraut and the aroma of pork came out.In the other pot, there is still some meat. Mrs. Chen put enough seasoning, so the fragrance is also wafting far away.

Jinghan and Wenxuan had been helping to light the fire, and they couldn't help sniffing when they smelled it. "It smells so good." Jing Han said.

"Greedy little cats, don't be greedy there, the food will be ready later. Let you eat freely today, it's a good idea." Seeing the expressions of the children, Mrs. Chen smiled.

Lin Xing's family is here to help deal with all the pigs, and they are about to leave.How could Mrs. Chen let him go?According to the rules here, if you help others butcher a pig, you have to have a meal there. "Xingjia, you can't go here, eat here, and leave after eating. Let Jinghan and the others go and call Zixuanniang and a few children here, and let's have dinner together."

"Auntie, that's not acceptable. How can someone help and bring the whole family to dinner? I'll just eat here." Lin Xing's family refused.

Mrs. Chen couldn't force it, so she had no choice but to not call the daughter-in-law of the Xing family, but thought in her heart that when the Xing family left, she would bring him some food back.Although it is said that in the twelfth lunar month, almost every family slaughters pigs, but this is the way of human relations, there must be back and forth.Furthermore, it tastes the same as making things by yourself, so it's good to taste them instead.

Mrs. Xue stewed rhubarb rice in the pot in the East Wing, which is a rare and delicious food.Northeast people like to eat something sticky, and this rhubarb rice is a kind of glutinous rice.It is generally used to make bean bags, sticky fire spoons, sticky mice, etc.Xu's family planted less rhubarb rice this year, so they couldn't make sticky bean buns, so they could only save them for dry rice.The new big yellow rice filled the yard with a unique fragrance of grain.

"Okay, go wash your hands and prepare to eat." Chen said to the greedy cats in the yard.It happened that Wen Han and Wen Cheng also came back, so I asked them to wash their hands quickly and eat together.

Jinghan and the others helped to set up the table and set up the dishes.Mrs. Chen lifted the pot of sauerkraut, poured the blood sausage cut into small pieces into it, and then hurriedly put the vegetables out.This blood sausage is already cooked, just warm it up lightly, otherwise it will be old and tasteless.Mrs. Chen filled two small pots of sauerkraut, with slices of meat and blood sausage floating in the dish. As soon as she put it on the table, the aroma rushed into her nose.

Mrs. Xue also cut up the meat and brought it up, and made two bowls of garlic sauce, just dip it in the garlic sauce when eating. "Okay, hurry up and eat, let you eat hard today."

Everyone sat down to eat, and the children naturally ran for the meat. Fortunately, several children were quite civilized, and there was no competition for the meat.Wen Han picked up some meat for his younger brothers and sisters one by one, and also brought a bowl to help hold sauerkraut and blood sausage.There is soup in this sauerkraut, and the essence of big bones in that soup, so it tastes good, Jinghan and the others naturally won't waste it.After eating sauerkraut and meat, and drinking sauerkraut soup, my stomach became round after a while. "Father, grandma, father and mother, Uncle Lin, eat slowly, I'm full." Jinghan touched her round belly and left the dining table, she couldn't stay here anymore, otherwise she would still want to eat.

Wenxuan and Wenchang also left the table, touching their bellies one by one, with satisfied smiles on their faces.

Seeing their appearance, Mrs. Chen quickly ordered a few words, "Don't lie down first, and be careful of food accumulation. Jinghan, didn't you make some mountain reds in autumn? Take it out and boil some water to relieve the greasy, otherwise you won't be able to hang on Grease and water." I seldom eat greasy food all the year round, and if I eat it once in a while, I'm prone to stomach upset.

Jinghan also understood, went back to the house and found the Shanlihong made in autumn, grabbed a lot, put it in an earthen pot and stewed it on the stove.After a while, the water boiled, boiled for a while, then took it down to let it cool, Jing Han put some honey in it.This honey was brought back by Zhixin when he went up the mountain a while ago.Here, people usually go up the mountain in winter to get honeycombs, and then steam them in a pot to get honey.

"Come on, drink some red water from the mountains. I put honey in it. It tastes good." Jinghan took the water and went into the house of the eldest brother and the others, just as Wenhan and the others were reading.Jinghan took out a bowl, and everyone poured a bowl.The red soup is appetizing just by looking at it.Wen Han and the others all picked up their bowls and drank.

"Second sister, your boiled water is good, sweet and sour, delicious." Wenxuan said while drinking from the bowl.

"Drink more if it tastes good." Jing Han said and went out.She reserved two bowls for Jingya and herself just now, and brought the rest here.Back in her own room, Jingya took the needle and thread and wanted to embroider, but Jinghan refused, "Sister, you can't always be like this, the lamp is too dim, be careful to hurt your eyes."

Jingya put down the needle and thread in her hand, "It's just uncomfortable to be idle, and I have to do some work on my hands. Listen to you, I won't embroider." Jingya picked up the bowl and took a sip. "Oh, it's really good. It's delicious." Girls generally like this kind of sweet and sour taste, and Jingya is no exception, holding the bowl and taking two more sips.

"Sister, we have a lot of this stuff at home. If you like to drink it, cook it often. It's good for digestion. This year, I was busy getting pine nuts or something, but I forgot to pick some mountain grapes. Otherwise, I boiled mountain grape cake and put it in It's even better here." Jinghan also held the bowl, drinking water in small sips.

"You are already capable enough. This autumn, you have been tanned. After a while, you look fairer. You can't be like this in the future. You are a girl, what should you do after you get sunburned?" Jingya actually said I really admire my younger sister. She went up and down the mountains and rivers all day, but she never complained of being tired. This autumn, I bought a lot of things at home.

Jinghan laughed when she heard her sister's words. "Sister, I'm still young, and I'll catch up when I get older. My eldest brother and brother Wencheng both go to school to study, and Wenxuan and Wenchang are small, so someone has to lead them? You see, this year, we picked up So many acorns, the pigs eat them, so they grow much faster? Next year we have to pick up some more, and one pig can be sold for more than four taels of silver. I can think of this year, in addition to selling, I can keep food. How wonderful. Besides, the pine nuts and walnuts we got are also sold for money to make clothes? The new clothes are so good to wear, they look good and Warm. I like working. If working can bring back a good life, what can I do if I work more?" Jinghan feels that she is better now than when she first came. You know, when she first came, where did the family How many meat stars can you see?Of course, this is not only her credit, but she is still happy.
