Chapter 315 I Have an Idea
Madam Qin looked at this strange thing and asked, "Miss, what is this for?"
"This is for making the marinade. If you don't sew these seasonings together, it will be troublesome to fish them out later."
"This is the first time I've seen seasonings sewn together with cloth."
"This saves a lot of trouble. If you have time, please help me make a few more bags like this."
"Okay, I'll do it now."
Wen Zhen chopped the pig's head in half, and put the pig's feet and tail into the pot to blanch them.
After taking them out and cleaning them, add clean water again, put in the pig's head, sheep's head, sheep's hooves, pig's feet and pig's tail, and add the seasoning bag.
Add the bundled green onions and smashed ginger, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low and simmer.
During this time, she also found a large vat, cleaned it carefully, and prepared to use it to store the brine.
Wen Chengwen placed the pig and sheep brains in a bowl and placed it on the kitchen table: "Yi Yi, what are you going to do with these brains?"
"I'm going to make a pig brain soup."
Wen Zhenyi peeled off the blood and tendons on the pig brains and sheep brains, cleaned the pig brains, found small casseroles, added Codonopsis pilosula, wolfberry, Gastrodia elata, ginger, red dates and water into the casseroles, and finally put in the pig brains.
Wen Zhenyi looked at what she put in there and asked, "Are there any medicinal herbs?"
"Well, pig brain is a good food therapy. It can replenish qi, eliminate fatigue, and nourish the kidneys and brain."
“This is quite suitable for your Grandpa Shen and Han Xing.”
"Dad, it's also suitable for the people at home. Although it's not much, everyone can eat something."
"With you here, I really don't have to worry about wasted food."
"These are all good things. Others don't know about them. If they knew, they would definitely grab them."
"Yes, this pig only has one head."
"Dad, do you still want it to have three heads and six arms?"
"Haha, that's not possible."
After half an hour of stewing, the aroma of the stew has already wafted out, and the aroma of the meat is tempting.
When Dong Li stepped into the yard, he smelled this smell: "What delicious food has Miss Wen made again?"
Wen Zhenyi came out of the kitchen and saw him: "Grandpa Village Chief, how come you have time to come here?"
"I don't have something to ask you."
Wen Zhenyi brought him a stool: "Sit down and talk."
Dong Li sat down with a smile: "It's like this, the kimchi you asked us to make before is selling quite well now."
"What's the problem?"
"Yes, but the vegetables we grow ourselves are not enough, and we have almost bought all the vegetables from the surrounding villages."
"So that's how it is!"
"Yes, we won't be able to supply it if this continues."
Wen Zhenyi didn't expect that kimchi and pickled vegetables are so popular now, but she didn't seem to have made many dishes related to sauerkraut.
"What's the current situation with preserved eggs and salted duck eggs?"
"Now I heard from Master Cheng that there are people selling it outside, but it's not as delicious as what we make, but the price is cheaper, so it has had some impact."
Wen Zhenyi thought it was about time: "You can do less, the demand may become less and less in the future."
"Then should we continue to raise our chickens and ducks?"
"You can raise it. After all, it has other uses."
"What's the use? I'm going to make a new food. I just made some today. You can take it back and try it to see how it tastes."
"New food?"
"Well, if it succeeds, we might use more chickens and ducks."
"Okay then. We're still a little worried about what to do next."
Wen Zhenyi looked at him amusedly: "Grandpa Village Chief, you guys are not idle either now. You're working on potatoes and sweet potatoes, grain fields, pickles and salted duck eggs, and you still think you're not busy enough!"
Dong Li laughed heartily. "It's not about being busy or not. I just feel motivated when I see our lives getting better and better. Now that the children can read and write, our lives are getting better too."
“It will get better and better.”
"Wen girl, what are you planning to do in your workshop?"
"There are already two directions. When I recruit people, I will still give priority to people from the village."
"Okay, okay, you are still so generous." Dong Li sighed. Wen Zhenyi is not only the treasure of the Wen family, but also the treasure of their Xinglin Village.
Wen Zhenyi saw that it was almost time, so she asked Dong Li to sit for a while and she went to the kitchen to cut some meat for him, such as pig head, pig tongue, pig ears, and pig trotters.
She also prepared dipping sauce for him: "Village Chief, this is the new food I made. You can also make chicken and duck with this flavor later. Take it back and try it."
Dong Li was stunned when he saw the bowl full of meat. Their life was better now, but they were not so extravagant as to eat meat every meal.
Eating it once a month was a luxury for them, and now seeing such a big bowl of meat, he felt a little uncomfortable.
"Too much, too much."
"It's okay. No one usually buys these, and I was afraid you would dislike them." Wen Zhenyi said as he stuffed the basket in his hand into his.
Dong Li couldn't refuse, so he could only accept it with a smile: "Thank you."
"You're so polite."
After Dong Li left, Old Lady Wen and the others returned from the pig farm. "Yi Yi, we just ran into the village chief. What's up?"
"Nothing, just asking some questions."
"That's good. Your house is built, but what about your furniture?"
Wen Zhenyi is also having a headache now. The house is big and there are a lot of furniture. It takes a lot of time to make furniture.
She asked the villagers who were skilled in carpentry to help with the work, but even that would take some time: "I've already asked the uncles and aunts in the village to help. We'll move after they're done."
"This is the only way. It's not appropriate to bring these things from home."
"It's okay. We're not in a hurry anyway." Wen Zhenyi thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa and grandma, I have an idea."
"What idea?"
“I want Grandpa Shen and the others to live with us when we move.”
"Okay, there are a lot of yards anyway, and it will be more lively with more people." Old Man Wen would not object.
Old Lady Wen also smiled and said, "Okay, this way everyone can take care of each other."
While eating, everyone praised the braised meat.
Old Man Wen looked at Mr. Shen and said, "Brother, I have something I want to ask for your opinion."
"What's your opinion?"
"When we move house, you two, grandpa and grandson, will move in with us."
"This..." Shen Xiucai was still a little hesitant.
"She suggested this one by one, saying that this way everyone would have someone to look after, and there would be more yards. I think she also included you in the plan when she built this house."
"I have to ask Han Xing's opinion."
