"Sister Chunhua, what should we do with all this pig offal?" Wang Guixiang looked at the pile of pig intestines, liver, heart, and other offal with some confusion, completely at a loss!

This stuff smells terrible. Although it is meat, many farmers nowadays can't stand the smell. Of course, they are poor, and they will occasionally buy some to eat, since it is meat. But it really doesn't taste good, and I've never heard of using it for a banquet!

Wang Guixiang didn't dare ask Qin Sanniang directly about this. For some reason, although Sister-in-law Sanniang seemed kind, she always gave off a sense of pressure. As for He Xing? She dared not ask her either, since their family's living standards had improved considerably, all thanks to Qin Sanniang.

Wu Chunhua didn't mind at all, and was quite happy looking at the basin of pig offal, thinking to herself that it was because they didn't know how good it was!

"Oh my, you guys don't know this! Dishes made with these offal are guaranteed to be so delicious you won't know where to begin!"

"Oh my, there's pig intestines! Auntie, I love stir-fried pig intestines the most, as well as stir-fried liver tips with vinegar. Sweet and sour pork ribs are also my favorite. You can make all of these today, right?" Xiao Er and his friends were playing in the yard when they were attracted by the stench. Sure enough, it really was pig offal.

The other children laughed along, but A-Nan's face showed a look of disdain and disgust. Having a gluttonous second brother wasn't a pleasant feeling at all! However, after learning what the dishes would be for today, the children couldn't help but swallow hard. They hadn't had pork intestines, liver tips, and sweet and sour pork ribs in a long time, and they really wanted Qin San Niang to make them, but she always declined, using being too busy as an excuse.

The children were all sensible; they knew the adults were busy building houses and brewing wine, and had no time to deal with these pig offal. Not to mention anything else, the smell of those pig intestines was truly awful! To avoid the adults changing their minds at the last minute, Xiao Er and He Mingzhe exchanged a knowing glance and said something tacitly.

"Auntie, we're going to dig up some wood ash right now, we'll be right back!" With that, the two of them dashed off like the wind, their speed so fast that one might mistake them for some kind of monster following them...

The two children had already disappeared from sight, leaving Liu and the others who were busy in the outer courtyard completely bewildered. They didn't even have time to tell them to "slow down" before the two children were nowhere to be seen!

The speed of the action made Wu Chunhua laugh out loud. She then explained to He Xing and the other person, "Pig intestines need to be scrubbed with wood ash. They're a bit smelly, but if you scrub them a few times, the smell will definitely be gone!"

The taste is absolutely fantastic; you won't be able to stop eating it! It would be even better with salt and cornstarch, but those things are so expensive!

Wang Guixiang and He Xing believed it to some extent, but they were still a little puzzled, wondering how these smelly pig intestines could taste so delicious. Then they thought, if it really was true, they could buy some and eat it too! It was incredibly cheap, only three or four pounds for a penny!

Wang Guixiang's mind became even more active. She thought, "Since Sister Chunhua taught me how to remove the odor from pig intestines, isn't that like giving me a free recipe? What benefits will this recipe bring? Putting aside everything else, wouldn't it be a great thing if my family could have more meat to eat in the future?" With this in mind, she felt even closer to Wu Chunhua. As for He Xing, she wasn't stupid either, and hurriedly followed Wang Guixiang to help clean the pig intestines.

Wu Chunhua smiled at the two women and told them some key points about processing pig intestines. She had already informed San Niang about this beforehand, so San Niang naturally had no objections. She didn't plan to do business with pig offal anyway, so if she could help everyone out, there was nothing wrong with it!

People were struggling in those times; ordinary people couldn't even get a full meal. Being able to eat a little meat was a remarkable thing!

Wang Guixiang and her husband were both very diligent and efficient, and they were both hardworking. A little smelly? What's so scary about that! Look, Sister Chunhua is really generous with the amount of salt she put in! The two women exchanged a glance and really wanted to tell her not to put in any salt. Although scrubbing with wood ash is a bit more troublesome, at least it saves on salt!

Why serve pig offal when hosting a dinner party? One reason is that Qin San Niang didn't want to be too ostentatious.

The money used to build the brick house could be considered as previous savings, but if rice and meat were served at the banquet, it would really be an eyesore, and there would be no guarantee that no one would be jealous and try to ambush them under the cover of darkness.

So, the women discussed it and prepared these dishes: braised pork ribs, stir-fried pork intestines, stir-fried liver tips, pickled vegetables with scrambled eggs, cold wild vegetable salad, scrambled eggs with chives, braised carp, and water shield and egg drop soup. The staple food was a mixture of white and brown rice cooked into a dry meal! This didn't cost much, but it was very satisfying! Moreover, most of the dishes were meat-based—don't doubt it, for farmers, eggs were considered meat too! And they cost two coins each! How precious!

Of course, the eggs and ribs were taken out of the refrigerator in Qin San Niang's space. Looking at the gradually emptying freezer, Qin San Niang felt that her business of raising chickens, ducks and pigs could start.

So far, two-thirds of the rice and flour in the space have been used up, and there is still a lot of peanut oil left. She has never seen peanut oil before. Most of the oil that people eat is soybean oil, castor oil, and lard rendered from pork fat.

Lard is the cheapest and most commonly consumed food. But even with lard, a layer of pumpkin vine is used to coat the bottom of the pot – every effort is made to save money!

We've almost finished eating all the meat in the store. The supermarket isn't very big to begin with, and the prepared food section doesn't have much stock left.

Of course, what comforted Qin San Niang was that there were still quite a few daily necessities, and most of them were things that didn't exist in this era, such as sanitary napkins and toilet paper. Don't expect her to use wood ash as a substitute. There was also a bamboo stick for wiping her anus, which was really a miserable experience!

When she first arrived, she wasn't stumped by the unpalatable wild vegetable pancakes, but these other things made her feel emo. In the end, she decided to risk being discovered and use them anyway. Who cares? Who can stand this?

After cleaning the pig intestines, He Xing and Wang Guixiang felt their clothes were about to stink, but when they looked down and smelled them, the intestines were indeed odorless! They exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes. This method really could remove the odor! That works! Everyone has wood ash, and it's cheap!

When Qin San Niang started cooking, the two said goodbye and went home to change their clothes. After all, they were going to be at a banquet, and they couldn't be all smelly. However, they had learned how to clean intestines today, so the stench they endured wasn't for nothing!
