(No system, no cheat, no troublesome relatives, no CP.) Li Yu was very capable. Her childhood spent as a 'left-behind child' made her yearn more for home and a life of financial freedom. La...
When we arrived at the old house, the pig had not been killed, but it had been tied up.
When Li Yu entered the kitchen, he realized that there was not enough boiling water and several people were boiling water.
That’s right, although the pots at that time were all big, they were actually not that big. One or two pots of boiling water were not enough to boil a pig that big.
Li Yu asked Mrs. Zhong, "Sister-in-law, what can we use to collect the pig's blood?"
Before Zhongshi Zhong could answer, Wang Yulan asked first: "What? Pig blood? Why would you collect that? It's so dirty."
?
This time, Li Yu was shocked. Did people here not eat pig blood, or did they not know it was edible?
Mrs. Zhong also turned around and asked Li Yu: "Can you really eat it?"
"Sure. Like this, sister-in-law. When we kill the pig later, you give two bowls to brother and let him collect two bowls of blood. I will use one bowl to make delicious food for us, and keep the other bowl for me and I will take it home." Li Yu said.
Seeing that Li Yu was serious, Wang said quickly: "Three bowls, three bowls, sister-in-law, please take a look at me. I will learn how my second sister-in-law makes it, and then I will make it myself when I go home." Her family did not raise pigs this year, so she had to save some for herself.
When Mrs. Zhong saw that it was Li Yu who did it, she took out a basin without saying a word and asked them to keep the blood when they slaughtered the pig.
Those who came to help kill the pig all looked confused.
After the water boiled, the man helped to clean the pigs.
Because the pork is still being plucked and has not been cleaned up yet, the blood has been collected.
The women were all in the kitchen learning how Li Yu made pig blood.
There are many ways to eat pig blood. In my previous life in the south, most people ate it with pig blood tofu, as in hot pot. But for Li Yu, who grew up in the Northwest, this way of eating pig blood was completely unknown.
She remembered that there was also a delicacy from Northeast China - blood sausage, which she also couldn't make -_-||
All she knows how to cook is frying pig's blood.
There are many ways to eat fried pig blood, such as stir-frying, stewing with tofu and vegetables, and eating pig blood pancakes with vegetables.
It’s very simple to fry pig blood first.
Use water, pig blood, buckwheat noodles and a little salt in proportion and mix them into a paste.
Just brush oil in the pan and fry it as you would pancakes.
After a while, Li Yu stopped and let Wang Yulan take over. It was very simple and as a housewife, Wang Yulan learned it at a glance.
After everyone finished frying, the pork outside was also cleaned up.
When someone comes to slaughter a pig, they must invite someone to stay for dinner.
Everyone else was busy cooking the meat, leaving a pot for Li Yu to use exclusively for her three dishes using pig blood.
Li Yu made a dish of pig's blood stir-fried with scallions, ginger, and garlic, and then fried shredded potatoes and wrapped them in a pig's blood pancake. Finally, he made a stew of cabbage, tofu, and pig's blood—pig's blood stew with tofu.
Since we are slaughtering a pig today, the food must be made from the pig's body.
There are both stir-fried and stewed dishes.
There were a lot of people, so men and women sat at separate tables until all the dishes were served.
Old man Lin picked up his chopsticks and took a bite, and then everyone else started to pick up their chopsticks.
Needless to say, the three pig blood dishes made by Li Yu are the most talked about, although these dishes are not big dishes like braised pork and stewed pork elbow.
But it is very novel to those who have never eaten it, and of course it tastes really good.
Several families in the village who came to help asked what it was made of and how it was made, so that their wives could learn it too.
Li Yu will definitely not keep this simple delicacy to himself, and once he learns how to make it, he can add one or two dishes to the dinner table of ordinary people, and the cost is not high.
Li Yu said frankly: "It's made with pig blood. My sister-in-law just left some pig blood for me. If any sister-in-law wants to learn it, come and join us tomorrow."
This made several men who had already slaughtered pigs beat their chests and stamp their feet. They actually ignored such delicious food when they slaughtered the pigs a few days ago.
However, Li Yu's neighbor Lin Quan's family has not slaughtered their pig yet. They are probably waiting for their son to come back. His second son has been an apprentice in a blacksmith shop in town for three or four years and is probably about to graduate.
He was there today, and when he heard Li Yu say they could learn, he said to her, "My youngest son will be home the day after tomorrow, and we'll be slaughtering a pig, so his aunt will come over to help. Teach his mother how to make it, too. This is really delicious."
"Of course, our two families live next to each other, and you and Mrs. Deng help us a lot. Just ask for this small favor." Li Yu would of course not refuse. Lin Quan and Lin Zicong are good friends, and Lin Quan is also Lin Zicong's cousin.
The relationship between the two families used to be very good. After Lin Zicong passed away, he rarely spoke to Li Yu to avoid suspicion, but Deng helped the original owner a lot.
Seeing Li Yu agreed, he was obviously relieved.
Everyone lives next door. Li Yu's family is living a good life now and his son is still in school.
He was really afraid that others would look down on his family, so he refused to agree.
