Chapter 33 Braised Pork Offal
At noon, Xu Wanning took out some pig offal from the space. Although no one wanted these things on the black market, that was because no one knew how to cook them in this era. Braised pork intestines and braised pig heads were actually fragrant and oily, and very suitable for inviting the team leader and others to eat.
She first sprinkled some flour on the pig intestines, rubbed them repeatedly, washed them clean, and cut them into pieces. She also washed the pig heart, pig stomach, etc. several times, and then singed the pig head and cleaned it.
After cleaning the pig offal, Xu Wanning took a basin and went to the team leader's house. The stove in her old house had just been built in the morning, and she would not be able to cook until tomorrow, so she could only borrow the kitchen from the team leader's house.
“Boom boom boom…”
"Who is it?"
"Here I come."
"Auntie, I'm Xu Wanning!"
Xu Wanning had a faint smile on her face. When she saw the captain's wife, Li Meiyun, coming out, she asked:
"Auntie, I'd like to borrow your kitchen. I just built the stove in my house, so I can't light a fire today."
Li Meiyun saw that she was carrying a large basin of pig offal which looked quite heavy, so she quickly opened the door and let her into the yard.
"Come on, Ningning, come in quickly!"
"But Ningning, were you tricked into giving me this pig intestine?"
"I've bought this stuff before, but it was stinky and inedible!"
Xu Wanning knew that everyone disliked pig intestines because they were difficult to process and people were reluctant to add seasonings. In this day and age, people were happy as long as they could eat their fill, so who would add all kinds of seasonings to it?
Xu Wanning smiled and explained patiently:
"Auntie, this braised pig intestine is very fragrant. You will know it when you try it later."
Li Meiyun didn't want to discourage the girl. The pig intestines were really not very tasty. In the past, everyone in the village thought pig offal was cheap, so they bought them home and cooked them. But the pig intestines were so smelly that they were inedible.
"The kitchen is over there, feel free to use it."
"Ningning, if you need anything, just tell me. Don't be polite to me."
Xu Wanning smiled and nodded when she heard that. She really couldn't be polite today. She only bought a pot when she went to town yesterday. She forgot to buy oil, salt and seasonings.
Today she only brought some rock sugar and a basin of pig offal. She didn't bring anything else when she went to the countryside. She always cooked at Han Jinghuai's house and used Han Jinghuai's seasonings.
"Auntie, I won't be polite to you then."
"I haven't had time to collect some firewood yet, and I haven't bought any seasonings, so I wanted to borrow some from you."
Li Meiyun felt that this girl was too sensible, and she felt a little more distressed in her heart.
"Why are you being so polite, girl? Just use whatever you want."
"I'll find some seasoning for you right away."
Not long after, Li Meiyun came out of the house with a package and handed it to her.
"Ningning, can you use this?"
"These seasonings were brought back a while ago by a truck-driving friend of your brother Wei Min. He said they were seasonings for cooking. I don't know much about them and have never used them. See if you can use them."
Xu Wanning opened it and saw that it contained all the spices she needed, including star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, peppercorns, and cumin, which were all used for braised pork offal.
"Auntie, that's great! These spicy braised pig offal can be used just right."
Li Meiyun smiled indifferently. Since she didn't know how to use this thing anyway, she might as well give it to this girl.
"Okay, then you can use it!"
"Ningning, let me help you light the fire!"
"Auntie, no need to trouble you."
"I can burn it myself."
"Why are you being so polite to me? You are such a jerk."
