Chapter 172: Can it really be eaten?
Lin Xiaoyue said helplessly, "I was forced to do this! Firstly, the current situation is unstable. If there are a few more assassinations, customers will be afraid to come back, no matter how much they like the story of Journey to the West! It will erode their good impression of the story! Secondly, revealing too much story content before publication will reduce customers' desire to buy, so let's wait a while!"
Chen Yunyun agreed and said, "Well, Sister Lin is right!"
At this time, Zhan Ying's voice was heard outside the study, "Miss Lin, the pork delivery is here!"
Lin Xiaoyue stood up and said, "I'm coming! Tell him to wait!"
As she spoke, she opened the door and walked into the yard.
The pork seller smiled again when he saw Lin Xiaoyue. "Girl, this is a pig we slaughtered today. All the meat and internal organs are here, a total of 400 kilograms! I haven't even washed it yet, so you can weigh it if you're worried. Also, we agreed yesterday to pay in cash, so..."
Lin Xiaoyue didn't wait for him to finish and readily took out a bag of silver and gave it to the pork seller, "Here are 160 taels. I'll continue to deliver tomorrow!"
The pork seller didn't expect Lin Xiaoyue to trust him so much. He was a little excited for a moment. He put down the money and thanked her: "Thank you, young lady! I'll still be here at this time tomorrow. If you are not satisfied, just tell me!"
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and said, "Okay! I believe you. If I need you later, I will have my men find you!"
The man selling pork said gratefully: "Thank you, young lady! My name is Wen Laowu, you can call me Laowu from now on! I still have to go out to set up the stall, so I'll take my leave today!"
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and sent Wen Laowu to the door, saying, "Take care, Laowu! See you tomorrow!"
Back in the yard, Lin Xiaoyue saw a group of men pointing at a pile of pig offal on the ground. They were worried in their words and even complained about why Wen Laowu brought this!
She asked jokingly, "How come you guys, who aren't afraid of killing people, are so scared of pig intestines like mice seeing a cat? When I cook it, it will be so delicious that you won't be able to stop eating!"
Zhan Ying said in disbelief, "How is that possible? Didn't you smell how stinky that large intestine is? Throw away that pig's head too! If you get sick from eating it, Miss Lin, the master won't let us off the hook!"
Lin Xiaoyue initially thought that Wen Laowu would only give her pork, but unexpectedly he also gave her pig's internal organs and head!
The pig's head alone can make several dishes! Before the time travel, pig's head was very expensive! And the pig's large intestine is absolutely delicious as long as it is cleaned. The pig's liver is also delicious! It's a pity that Wen Laowu didn't bring the pig's blood, otherwise we could have made blood sausage!
But these things need to be cleaned immediately, so I have to leave the shopping for groceries to Yunyun!
Lin Xiaoyue patted her chest and said, "Don't worry! I never do anything I'm not sure of! Yunyun, Zhanying, you guys have to go shopping today. I need to deal with these offal and pig heads first."
Because Chen Yunyun's family was poor, she had never seen a pig being slaughtered, and these pig offal had never entered her home, so she really couldn't imagine how to eat these dirty offal.
However, in order not to undermine Lin Xiaoyue's confidence, she nodded and agreed: "Okay, what do we need to buy?"
Lin Xiaoyue returned to the study, wrote a list, and handed it to Chen Yunyun, saying, "The more soybeans, the better. Also, buy as many vegetables and fish as you like. Also, if there are laying hens and ducks for sale, buy a few! Try to buy from experienced farmers, and don't bargain. We need them to make a profit."
Chen Yunyun put away the list and said, "Okay, I've got it! Let's go first!"
After Chen Yunyun and Zhan Ying left, Lin Xiaoyue found Zhan Tian and said, "Zhan Tian, I need a tall water jar. The opening doesn't need to be very big. I'm going to use it to marinate meat! We're running low on salt, star anise, and other spices in the kitchen. Go out and buy some!"
Zhan Tian took the purse from Lin Xiaoyue and nodded, saying, "Yes! I'll do it right away!"
Lin Xiaoyue called Zhan Wei over and started moving all the pork onto the kitchen table. She then grabbed a bag of flour, a can of salt, and a wooden basin and went outside to process the pig's innards.
The most difficult thing to clean here is the pig intestine. Lin Xiaoyue threw the pig intestine into a wooden basin, poured in flour and salt, and then began to rub it vigorously.
Zhan Wei came out of the kitchen and saw Lin Xiaoyue rubbing the cloth non-stop. He felt strange and couldn't help asking, "Miss Lin, is that white flour? Can it be washed clean like this?"
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and said, "Yes! Because flour can absorb mucus and impurities in the large intestine, removing these can greatly reduce the fishy smell of the large intestine. I also added salt, which can kill bacteria and disinfect, and can clean the large intestine more thoroughly!"
Zhan Wei still couldn't understand. Could these two things alone cleanse him of all charges? But he didn't dare to question Lin Xiaoyue all the time. After all, his master had spoken first. If he asked too many questions and made Lin Xiaoyue angry, he would be in big trouble! He would definitely not get away with it from his master!
But he didn't leave. Out of curiosity, he stood by and watched.
Lin Xiaoyue rubbed it for a long time. Her hands looked sticky and smelled very bad, but she didn't even frown. She grabbed one end of the large intestine with her hand and pushed the mucus to the other end.
Lin Xiaoyue raised her head and said to Zhan Wei, "Don't look at it anymore. Go get some water. I need to wash my colon!"
Zhan Wei nodded. He brought out a wooden bucket, filled it with water from the large water tank, and poured it into Lin Xiaoyue's hand. "Miss Lin, are you done?"
Lin Xiaoyue rubbed the intestines back and forth under the running water to clean the flour off them. Then she changed to a clean wooden basin and said, "Okay, go wash that wooden basin. And then get me a bucket of water!"
Zhan Wei suppressed the nausea in his throat, adjusted his breathing, and awkwardly picked up the wooden basin to wash it aside.
Lin Xiaoyue poured flour into a clean wooden basin and continued kneading. When Zhan Wei came over with a full bucket of water, she stopped and said, "Pour it!"
Zhan Wei lifted the bottom of the barrel and the water in the barrel poured out.
Lin Xiaoyue washed it back and forth following the running water. After she poured out the water in the wooden basin, she asked Zhan Wei to fetch a bucket of water.
Zhan Wei doesn’t feel tired, but is it really okay like this?
He couldn't hold it in any longer and asked, "Miss Lin, are you sure this will clean it? What if it still tastes like a toilet? Won't I have diarrhea?"
Lin Xiaoyue poured in the flour for the third time and continued kneading it vigorously. "Wait until I'm done cooking. If you still smell the toilet odor, don't say you won't eat it. Even if you want to eat it, I'll throw it away! So, don't worry about diarrhea!"
Is pig intestine really edible? Zhan Wei couldn't help but silently recall the very smelly foods he had eaten. The only ones were stinky tofu and stinky amaranth, but these smelled stinky but tasted delicious!
I wonder which one tastes better, pig intestines or these two smelly things?
