Chapter 363 Removing the Fishy Smell
Shen Yueyao thought for a moment and said, "How about giving everyone preserved eggs, salted duck eggs, and braised duck necks and heads? These are easy to make and can be made in batches."
When everyone heard this, they thought it was a good idea.
Madam Meng said, "Preserved eggs and salted duck eggs are no problem. We have many large vats at home, all of which are pickled. The preserved egg workshop also pickles them. As for salted duck eggs, you taught the farmers how to do it, so I'm sure everyone pickles some too."
Su Daya said, "Someone from the workshop brought their own salted duck eggs before, but I feel that they are not as delicious as Aunt San's. The ones they pickled don't have much yolk, but Aunt San's salted duck eggs have yolks that are oily and especially delicious."
Su Erya also nodded and said, "Of course not. When you eat salted duck eggs, you eat the yolk."
Thinking of the juicy salted duck egg yolks, she felt like eating them.
Su Xiuye said, "As for duck heads and duck necks, they're sold at our village farmers' market. There's quite a lot of them, so it's convenient to buy them. We just need to pickle them ourselves."
I remember that my third brother’s wife used a secret recipe to marinate duck heads and duck necks, and they tasted really delicious.
It's not easy for others to make this thing. Even if they make it, the taste will still be different from the one made by my third brother's wife using the secret recipe.
It’s just that my third brother’s wife is too busy on weekdays to pickle these.
Shen Yueyao's expression changed and she said, "Then order more during this period. I guess many families who raise ducks will kill and sell them during this time to make some extra money to supplement their family expenses."
Madam Meng said, "People in the nearby villages who raise pigs usually sell their pigs before the New Year. Usually, the price of pigs sold at this time is higher than usual, and there are more people buying pork at this time."
Su Erya explained, "Grandma, that was in the past. Now there's a stall on the commercial street next to the village selling pork, mutton, and other things. Business is brisk every day. Even on weekdays, people are buying a lot of pork and are very enthusiastic."
Mrs. Meng thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case.
She sighed, "In previous years, people in the village would only spend some meat during the New Year. On weekdays, many families would not even buy a pound of meat to eat."
Su Erya reacted quickly. She looked at Shen Yueyao and asked curiously, "Aunt San, are you buying so much meat? Are you going to prepare something?"
Shen Yueyao glanced at Su Erya with appreciation and patiently explained, "Well, I'm going to make something delicious. When it's done, you'll know how it tastes."
“So you need a lot of pork.”
She planned to put in more ham and sausage.
The weather is cold in winter, and the outside is a natural freezer, so you don’t have to worry about things spoiling and being difficult to store.
Shen Yueyao told her family about her plan.
The next day, the family started to get really busy.
It’s really time to prepare for the New Year’s gift of closing the workshop and the New Year.
Shen Yueyao also asked Fan Quan to mobilize a group of people from the farm to come and help.
These people were the ones that Shen Yueyao had asked Fan Quan to buy before, and most of them were orphans.
They usually help Fan Quan and Fan Tongtong with some chores, such as looking after the rapeseed on the farm and the medicinal herbs in the mountains, and they also learn to read and write.
Fan Quan and Fan Tongtong also selected a few smart people for important positions.
These personal contracts are all in Shen Yueyao's hands, so there is no need to worry about them leaking secrets.
Shen Yueyao gathered more than ten people who were good at work to help prepare the New Year gifts.
As for enema, the Shen family did it themselves at the beginning.
Anyway, Shen Yueyao didn't plan to use enema as a New Year gift, because there was really not enough time to make so much of it.
Make some first to eat during the Chinese New Year.
When everyone actually started making the ham sausage, they realized what Shen Yueyao bought so much meat for.
Only then did I know that sheep intestines have this effect.
In fact, sheep intestines can also be used to make thread for suturing wounds, so there is no need to remove them.
Su Erya was busying herself excitedly while saying, "Aunt San, we never thought that sheep intestines could have such a use before."
“I didn’t expect it could be eaten.”
Su Erya was actually also curious about what the ham sausage that Aunt San mentioned would taste like.
Su Daya did this work quietly, thinking that this thing must be delicious with so much meat in it.
Shen Yueyao said: "Sheep intestines are indeed good things. We will use them to make ham sausage in the future."
"Make a batch first and try it. If it tastes good, we can make more."
She soaked the sheep intestines in wine to remove the fishy smell.
Everyone agreed that the food must be delicious.
After stuffing the ham sausage, Shen Yueyao did not dry it out to dry.
She felt that the drying time was a bit long, so she steamed it in a large pot.
When steaming, everyone can smell the rich aroma coming from the pot.
Dabao and Erbao were writing in the study.
This was the homework Su Xueyi assigned to the two treasures after she came back.
The two children are already four years old, so it’s time to let them practice calligraphy.
The two babies practiced calligraphy very seriously and attentively, and soon, a fragrance filled the air.
The two treasures paused in their movements and looked at each other.
They both saw the same thing from each other's eyes, that is, their mother was making something delicious.
Even if they had eaten a full meal at noon, they would still feel hungry after smelling the fragrance.
I feel like my mouth is watering.
Su Xueyi was writing an article nearby. She seemed to sense something and turned to look at Dabao and Erbao. She said helplessly, "You two are not paying attention."
Erbao blinked his big eyes, looked at his father with soft and cute eyes and said, "Daddy, Mommy has made delicious food."
Su Xueyi smiled helplessly and said, "You have really sensitive noses. You can smell it now?"
Dabao also said seriously: "Dad, this smells so strong. Mom said she wanted to make something delicious. Dad, can we go over and take a look?"
Su Xueyi was silent for a while.
He wanted to be stricter with Dabao and Erbao.
But looking at their longing eyes, Su Xueyi couldn't help but feel her heart soften.
Especially since some of their eyebrows and eyes resembled Yao Niang, he was even more reluctant to reject Dabao and Erbao.
But children's concentration and endurance must also be cultivated.
But now we have indeed entered the twelfth lunar month and the Chinese New Year is almost here.
In fact, there is no need to be so serious. Let the two children enjoy the New Year time.
In Yao Niang's words, one should combine work and rest.
Seeing Su Xueyi's serious expression, Dabao said, "Dad, we'll just go and watch for a while, and then we'll come back to continue writing. We'll write very seriously."
"Yes, Daddy, we will all write well."
Dabao and Erbao also cherish the time when their daddy accompanies them in reading and writing. When their daddy is at the academy on weekdays, they miss him and so they are very obedient.
Su Xueyi knew that the two children kept their words.
He touched their heads and said, "We have studied for such a long time today. You can go and play. We can continue studying and writing tomorrow."
When the two treasures heard this, they excitedly put down the brush in their hands, got down from the stool, and ran to the kitchen.
