Chapter 70 Making Sausage

Ye Xun then told everyone about his experiences on the road, including the incident in which his silver was stolen as soon as he left the capital.

Su Qian didn't want to listen to any more of this.

She took Gu Luyun's hand and went to Gu Luyun's room.

"What's wrong, Ah Qian?"

Gu Luyun looked at the pile of pork on the ground and said quickly, "Why don't you put the pork away? It will go bad if left for too long!"

"Mom, this is it! I'm going to be away for a while in two days, and I bought this pork especially for you! As for the problem of it not being able to be kept for long, I'll take care of it!"

She smiled and said, "I'll use half to stuff sausages and the rest to make bacon. The sausages will be ready to eat in about seven days. As for the bacon, you need to let it dry for a while after it's done so that the salt can absorb the flavor before you can eat it."

"Bacon? Sausage? This is the first time I've heard of it! Okay, we'll do whatever you say!"

Gu Luyun thought for a moment and nodded, "What do we need to prepare?"

"Clean the pork first, then drain the water. I'll prepare the seasoning."

Su Qian picked out several pieces of pork that were 30% fat and 70% lean and put them aside.

The owner of the butcher shop is quite nice. He cuts his pork into small pieces.

And the bones and meat are separated!

Su Qian exchanged a boning knife at the market, carried two wooden basins from the kitchen and returned to Gu Luyun's room.

Seeing Su Qian carrying the wooden basin, the second aunt of the Su family glanced at Ye Xun and walked towards Gu Luyun's room.

"Sister-in-law, Ah-Qian, what are you doing?"

Then she saw the pork on the oilcloth on the ground. "Oh my God, why did you buy so much pork? It will go bad if it is left for too long!"

"Yes, sister-in-law. So we need to deal with it quickly. Ah Qian has learned how to make bacon and sausage from a book, and we are preparing to make it!"

Gu Luyun explained.

"Really? Then see if there is anything I can help with?"

The second aunt of the Su family became excited when she heard this.

You know, ever since she came to Dragon Fish Island, she has been thinking about making some delicious food every day for everyone to enjoy.

After all, there was nothing else to do on the island, and she didn't like going to Haiping Town.

She is not as good as her sister-in-law at making clothes, but she is okay at cooking.

"Well, the pork must be washed and drained, as well as the offal. The most important thing is the small intestine, which must be washed thoroughly inside and out, and the intestinal fat inside must be removed, so that the sausage will be clean when it is stuffed out."

Su Qian emphasized the key point in detail, "By the way, when you wash the pig, bring some flour with you, so it will be easier to wash it clean."

Su Qian used a boning knife to remove the bones from the half of the pork and said, "The rest will be used to make bacon later. You can use the ones in your hands to make sausages first!"

As for the bacon, it needs to be washed, drained, seasoned with salt and other seasonings, and kept for a few days. The sausage can be made this afternoon and dried.

"Okay, I'll take these to the beach and wash them!"

The second aunt of the Su family carried the pig, which was hung by a straw rope, into the water and put a handful of flour in a wooden basin. "As for the pork, you can just wash it and drain it in the kitchen."

"OK!"

Gu Luyun nodded slightly, put the pork that Su Qian had selected into another wooden basin, and prepared to take it to the kitchen.

"Mom, after draining it, you have to cut it into small pieces so that you can pour it into the pot."

Su Qian instructed softly.

"good."

Afterwards, Su Qian began to compete with the half piece of pork!

After picking out the bones one by one, Su Qian put them aside.

Tonight, these bones can be used to make pork rib soup, and then add pork stomach, pork lung and the like into it, which will be another delicious dish.

Then cut the trimmed pork into pieces and place them on the oilcloth.

Su Qian then walked out the door, bought a slightly smaller water jar from the market and moved it into the kitchen.

Everyone tacitly agreed not to ask where the water jar came from, and didn't even give it a curious look.

After Su Qian cleaned the water jar, he also drained it.

Then the cut pork was wrapped in oilcloth and taken to the kitchen for Gu Luyun to clean.

She herself returned to Gu Luyun's room and began to prepare the seasonings for marinated bacon and sausage.

When the water tank and the cut meat were almost drained, Su Qian smeared the meat with seasoning with a lot of salt in the kitchen and put it into the water tank.

One piece at a time, they are neatly arranged.

Afterwards, she wrapped the water tank tightly with oilcloth and placed a large stone on top.

"Mom, after seven days, take it out and wash it with hot water, then put it out to dry."

Su Qian calculated that he would not be on Longyu Island in seven days, so he instructed Gu Luyun.

"good."

At this time, the second aunt of the Su family also came back with the washed pig.

Su Qian checked the pig's small intestine and washed it clean.

She nodded with satisfaction, handed them the meat stuffing mixed with seasonings, and told them how to stuff the sausages and how to wrap them into small pieces with thin string.

After the second aunt of the Su family knew how to operate it, Su Qian began to pick up the lard that had been washed and drained earlier.

Cut the lard into pieces, boil it in a pan until it becomes lard, and then put it into the previously empty small can.

When it cools down, the lard will turn into a milky white solid. Then the second aunt of the Su family can just scoop a spoonful of it when cooking.

As for the remaining oil residue, Su Qian thought for a while, scooped out some flour from Gu Luyun's room, and made oil residue cakes.

After the cakes were ready, Su Qian went to see how Gu Luyun and the others were stuffing their sausages.

Unfortunately, there are no bamboo forests on the island, so they can only rely on the primitive method of stuffing the meat into the food little by little with chopsticks.

This will result in slower progress.

However, after an afternoon, with the concerted efforts of the two sisters-in-law, they managed to finish drinking it all.

And Su Qian’s dinner is ready!

There are spicy Boston prawns, steamed sea bass, fried dough cakes, and pork ribs and pork lung soup.

Of course, a steamer of fragrant white rice is also indispensable.

After thinking for a while, Su Qian exchanged a jar of fine wine from the market and placed it on the stone table.

Uncle Su, who hadn't drunk alcohol for a long time, was so excited when he smelled the aroma of the wine that his eyes widened.

When he was in the general's mansion, he would have a few drinks every night, but he has not touched a drop of alcohol since he was exiled.

I didn’t expect that his eldest niece would remember to bring some wine today. I am so happy!

Ye Xun, who had just arrived at Longyu Island, was also very surprised.

He never imagined that his future sweet wife is living such a good life now!

The table of delicious food before him completely overturned his idea of ​​exile and reclamation.

In his opinion, being exiled to a deserted island would definitely mean being poorly clothed and hungry.

Unexpectedly, the life that Axi and the others are living now is no worse than what he lived in the capital, and may even be better!

After all, not everyone can afford Boston!
