An Dashan asked An Ning: "Ning Ning, what are you going to do with this meat?"

An Ning said, "Dad, help me cut the meat first, and I will tell you how to do it later."

An Dashan nodded and started to cut the meat with a knife. An Dashan was a hunter, and he was no slower than a professional butcher in processing pork. An Ning took advantage of the time when An Dashan was cutting the meat to clean the pig's offal. With the experience of handling the sheep's offal last time, An Ning quickly handled the pig's offal this time.

After An Ning had processed the pig's offal, she found that An Dashan had already cut the meat, so she said, "Dad, cut off all the skin from the pig's legs, and then chop it into minced meat. The minced meat doesn't need to be too fine, just a little bigger chunks will do."

An Dashan nodded and said, "Okay, no problem." Then he went to cut the meat.

An Ning saw An Dashan cutting the meat, so she was not idle either. She cut the meat into pieces about two inches thick, and then marinated it in the marinade. In order to make it taste better, An Ning even rubbed it for a while.

Gao was making clothes in the house. She didn't know what the father and daughter were doing, so she went to the kitchen to take a look. As soon as she entered the kitchen, she saw the kitchen full of meat. She couldn't help but vomit because of the stench.

An Ning and An Dashan were so wet that they couldn't help Gao, so they could only ask with concern: "Ying Niang (mother), are you okay?"

Gao waved her hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay, you guys go ahead and do your work, I'm going back to my room." Then she fled back to her room.

An Dashan and An Ning looked at each other, smiled, shook their heads, and continued with their work.

After An Ning had chopped all the meat, it was already time for lunch. An Ning said to An Dashan, who was chopping the meat, "Dad, take your time chopping this first. I'll cook first."

An Dashan nodded and said, "Okay, go and cook!"

An Ning nodded and went to cook. An Ning steamed the rice first, and then started to cook. Because Gao couldn't eat meat, An Ning stir-fried some cabbage for Gao, soaked some bamboo shoots, cut some meat, and cooked a dish of bamboo shoots and meat.

After An Ning finished cooking, she said to An Dashan, "Dad, let's eat first. We can continue working after dinner."

An Dashan was indeed tired, so he nodded and said, "Okay, chopping meat is really tiring. I can hardly lift my arms."

An Ning smiled and said, "I'll help you chop it this afternoon."

An Dashan shook his head and said, "Forget it. Your little arms and legs will get tired again."

After that, he went to wash his hands. An Ning brought the meal to the main room and called out, "Mom, it's time to eat."

After hearing what An Ning said, Gao put down her work and walked out. She looked at An Ning and said, "Ning Ning, what are you and your father doing?"

An Ning said: "I plan to make some preserved meat and see if I can sell it. If I can sell it, it will also bring in some income for the family."

Gao nodded and said, "Take it easy and don't tire yourself out. I can't help you in my current state."

An Ning smiled and said, "Mom, this job is not that tiring, don't worry!"

Gao knew that An Ning wanted to reassure her, so she said nothing more and the family started to have lunch.

It was winter now, and other families only had one meal a day. Even the village chief's family only had two meals a day, and they were all porridge. An Dashan had originally thought that his family would only have two meals a day, but An Ning said that her family now had money, and Gao was a pregnant woman, so she couldn't go hungry, so An Dashan agreed.

After lunch, An Dashan and An Ning took a short break and then started working again. An Ning had already marinated the meat, and now all that was left was to stuff the sausages.

An Ning helped An Dashan to chop the meat, and then put seasonings into the meat. After seasoning the meat, An Ning put a bamboo tube on the sausage casing and started stuffing it in.

This bamboo is not very useful. I will buy a funnel next time I go to town.

An Dashan had never seen anything like this before, so he asked, "Ningning, did you also learn this method from the old immortal?"

An Ning nodded and said, "Yes, I'll let you guys try it when it's ready. It will definitely be delicious."

When An Dashan heard that it was the old immortal who taught him, he felt relieved and said, "Okay, let's try the old immortal's way of eating."

An Dashan watched An Ning drink for a while and then learned how to do it, so he said, "Ning Ning, go and take care of the pig's head and bones, and leave the rest to me!"

An Ning nodded, handed the intestines and bamboo tube to An Dashan, and then went to deal with the pig's head. She put the pig's trotters and bones away and stewed them for Gao when she could eat more.

An Ning put the processed pig head, heart, liver, stomach and lungs into the pot, added seasoning and started to cook. While the meat was cooking, An Ning turned over the marinated meat in the morning and gave them a full body massage.

After finishing all this, he went to check on An Dashan's progress and found that An Dashan had already stuffed all the intestines. An Ning said to An Dashan, "Dad, go to the yard and get a pole similar to a clothes drying pole. We will hang the stuffed intestines on it later."

An Dashan now listens to his daughter in everything. When he heard his daughter's request, he immediately said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

After saying that, he walked out of the kitchen. An Dashan was a man of quick hands and feet. In a short while, he bought two poles in the yard and tied a thumb-thick hemp rope to the poles.

Seeing that An Dashan had tied the rope, An Ning hung the stuffed intestines on the rope.

An Dashan saw that there was nothing for him to do in the kitchen, so he said to An Ning, "Ning Ning, I'm going to feed the rabbits and mule. Just call me when the meal is ready."

An Ning agreed and went back to the kitchen. The pig's internal organs such as the heart, liver, stomach and lungs in the pot were already cooked. An Ning took them out and put them in a porcelain basin. Then he added a fire to the stove. When the fire in the stove burned out, the pig's head was almost cooked.

An Ning fished out the pig's head and followed Gao's example, dipping her hands in cold water and scraping the meat off the pig's head. The soup in the pot was not wasted, and it could be made into jelly later.

An Ning saw that it was getting late, so she started to prepare dinner. Since she had already eaten rice at noon, An Ning planned to make some noodles in the evening.

An Ning rolled out the noodles deftly, put a little lard in another pot, sautéed it, then added water, and when the water boiled, put the noodles in. While the noodles were cooking, An Ning washed a few cabbage leaves, cut them into thin strips, and put them in the pot.
