Chapter 448 Cured Fish
Making sausages is a little more troublesome. Wash the meat, cut it into small pieces, add various seasonings and marinate it. You can stuff it into sausage casings at noon tomorrow and hang it on the stove to allow it to smoke naturally.
The next day, while Fang was stuffing sausages, Xu and Yang Xiaoni killed all the ducks.
It is not easy to pluck the feathers of twelve ducks, so Taotao and Qiao Xuan also help.
The method of making cured duck is similar to that of cured meat, just clean the whole duck and hang it up. The only thing is that the duck selected for the cured duck must be fat, otherwise it will only have bones without meat after drying, which is not delicious.
Twelve ducks were killed in one go, and a lot of duck feet, duck livers, duck blood, duck intestines and duck gizzards were taken, which are all good stuff.
Let's just have hotpot tonight, a double hotpot. This is the pot that Qiao Xuan had specially asked a craftsman to make because she was craving for it. Use the spareribs I bought yesterday to make the soup base, and then simply stir-fry a spicy hotpot base, just enough to make a double hotpot.
In addition to duck offal, prepare a few vegetables such as yam slices, winter melon slices, shiitake mushrooms, taro slices, winter bamboo shoots slices, spinach, coriander, etc., slice some fish fillets, and fry some meat-stuffed egg dumplings. It will be enough for a lively meal.
Sure enough, everyone said it was delicious after eating it. I didn’t expect that these duck intestines and duck blood would be so flavorful after being cooked in the spicy pot!
But everyone was so greedy that they wanted to kill twelve more ducks tomorrow.
This batch of bacon and sausages was obviously not enough, so Fang planned to buy some more meat and make another batch in seven or eight days. After hanging them on the stove for a few days, they could be taken outside to dry in the sun.
Qiao Xuan wanted to eat sweet sausages, so she smiled and agreed with Fang that next time she would make thirty or forty kilograms of sweet sausages.
Fang was surprised. "Sweet? Put sugar in it?"
"Yes!" Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "Salt and other seasonings are also needed, but don't put too much, and the amount of sugar cannot be too little. Mom, sweet sausages are also delicious!"
Fang smiled and said, "Well, I just heard it was interesting. If you said it was delicious, then it must be delicious! Okay, let's make it then! It doesn't matter if we make more! None of my family has ever tasted sausages like this!"
Now that the cured meat and sausages are ready, everyone is enthusiastic about making cured fish.
Qiao Xuan thought of the pond she had found when she entered the mountain before, and said to Xiao Qi and the others, "Why don't we go there? The fish in the deep ponds grow bigger, and they are the best for making cured fish! Although there are big fish in the river, they are relatively rare. Small fish that are three fingers wide, or mandarin fish, yellow croaker, etc., are not suitable for making cured fish."
Xiaoqi and others naturally agreed.
However, the pond is a bit far from the village, and the fish need water to survive on the road, so it is too troublesome to transport them.
Dead fish is not easy to cook.
Why not just call Shao Dalang and Xu as well?
Qiao Xuan had been thinking about the fish in the pond for a long time. With the fishing net, she had a good harvest! When she pulled them to the shore, she could see countless big fish jumping around, revealing their snow-white bellies.
Large grass carp, carp and crucian carp that were more than a foot long were caught and put into buckets.
Those that were not big enough were put back into the pool.
Two trips to the net were enough.
So Shao Dalang, Xu, Shao Sanlang and Yang Xiaoni each carried two buckets of water and went back to the village.
The fish were so big that the bucket could only hold four of them.
But it adds up to a lot.
Except for the long distance, everything else is not a problem.
When I was returning to the village, I happened to meet some villagers, who gathered around me curiously to watch the excitement.
