"Why do you seem not nervous at all? I've never seen a daughter-in-law as relaxed as you are about to meet her in-laws."
Jiang Mengxue laughed. Could she say that she didn't feel any sense of reality at all?
She had no idea of being married and having a new family, and her parents-in-law were also strangers to her.
"Why are you nervous? Even if you want to be nervous, wait until you meet the person. What if my mother-in-law is easy to get along with? If I'm nervous now, I won't be worrying about nothing."
Ma Dajiao obviously didn't expect Jiang Mengxue to have such a theory, but it made sense when she thought about it.
Why are you worrying about this when you haven't even met the person yet?
Besides, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will only live together for a few days at most, get along happily, and then they can do whatever they want after the people leave.
How can there be any conflict between two people who have never come into contact with each other?
When I walked to the middle of the team, I met a few families in the yard.
"You guys have already finished shopping and are back. Can we still buy meat after queuing so far?"
Wang Qun came over just after he had settled his daughter at home. He thought that his daughter was about to give birth in a few days, so he wanted to buy some bones and meat for her to use during the confinement period.
But seeing that there were dozens of people in front of her, she was really worried that she wouldn't be able to buy even a bone.
"Don't worry, we slaughtered a lot of sheep today, and we haven't sold many yet. I'm sure there will be more by the time you get them."
"Hey, why are you carrying a bag? You bought so much?"
The meat was in the pocket and they couldn't see what was inside.
Jiang Mengxue opened her mouth and said, "No, it's a bag full of unwanted bones. I thought they wouldn't go bad if I left them out, so I usually use them to make soup or cook.
Aunt, you guys line up, I have to go back and deal with these bones."
After saying that, he pulled Aunt Ma away.
Ma Dajiao didn't expect Jiang Mengxue to be so smart. She was still thinking about how to fool them.
I didn't expect Jiang Mengxue to react so quickly.
We all live in the same courtyard and our living conditions are similar.
Even if your family is well-off, you should usually be frugal, for fear that people in your yard will be displeased and jealous of you.
If neighbors do not get along well with each other, it will be unpleasant to live there.
When they got home, Jiang Mengxue opened the door and Ma Xiangqian carried the bag into the house.
"Sorry to bother Auntie and Brother Xiang Qian."
As she spoke, Jiang Mengxue took out a few sheep bones from her pocket and handed them to Aunt Ma.
"Auntie, take some bones home to make soup. Add some radish and cabbage and it will taste really delicious."
How could Ma Da Jiao possibly want that? If she took advantage of others after helping them with such a small amount of help, what kind of person would she be?
"What are you doing? Aren't you treating me like an outsider? It's not a big deal. You can keep the bones for yourself."
Jiang Mengxue directly pulled Ma Xiangqian's basket and put the bones in it.
"Look at what you said, Auntie. I didn't say I was thanking you. A few bones are not worth anything. I have plenty here.
I also want to ask my aunt to help me clean the sheep's internal organs. I have never dealt with these things before and I don't know how to clean them."
Jiang Mengxue took out all the sheep offal from her pocket and put it in the basin.
The smell was so strong that Jiang Mengxue had to hold her breath to avoid vomiting.
Ma Dajiao also realized that Jiang Mengxue would definitely not be able to handle the situation like this.
He did not refuse any more and said to Ma Xiangqian, "Second Brother, you go back first. I will process the meat when I get back."
Then he turned to Jiang Mengxue and said, "It's convenient to take it outside to the snow for cleaning. Just rub it in the snow."
Jiang Mengxue really doesn't understand these things
"Then wait a moment, Auntie. I'll go boil some hot water in the pot outside. I can't wash with cold water, and it won't be as clean as hot water."
Jiang Mengxue asked someone for help. She really didn't want someone to wash directly in the snow. Rubbing her hands in the snow would make her hands frozen in a short time.
After the water in the pot became warm, Jiang Mengxue scooped it into a basin with a ladle.
First clean the dirt inside the sheep intestines and sheep tripe, and then wash away the remaining dirt with water.
Jiang Mengxue endured the smell, added some salt and alkaline noodles and rubbed it hard.
Until the water comes out clean.
Ma Da Jiao laughed at her expression.
"Look at you, you look like you're going to vomit any second. Go to the side and let me take care of this. You can't freeze the internal organs. It's best to cook them directly later."
Jiang Mengxue planned to braise the sheep's head, sheep's heart, sheep's liver, and sheep's lungs together.
The sheep intestines can be kept to make sausage and pork rib sausage, and the sheep tripe can be made into tripe meat. She has been craving this since she saw the lamb.
It was already afternoon when everything was done, and Ma Da Jiao was ready to go home for dinner.
She is basically alone at home during the day. Today, Ma Xiangqian is at home helping to cook, so she can finally have a ready-made meal.
The smell of meat also came from other houses in the yard, and everyone was stewing meat.
Jiang Mengxue wrapped all the spices in gauze and simply blanched the lamb offal in water.
Fry some sugar color, add water and put the meat in to marinate.
Jiang Mengxue’s cooking is quite simple. She just uses a marinade packet, then adds light soy sauce, garlic and ginger. The food is not very good but not bad either.
Next, Jiang Mengxue began to prepare to make belly meat.
Cut the mutton into smaller cubes, add onion, ginger, garlic, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, pepper powder and five-spice powder, mix well and marinate there for half an hour.
Cut the cleaned goat's stomach into palm-sized cubes.
Wrap the meat in the sheep's stomach and tie it tightly with cotton rope.
Put ginger, star anise, cinnamon, peppercorns, bay leaves and dried chilies in a casserole, pour in cooking wine and simmer for an hour.
The offal was already being braised on the stove outside, and the tripe meat was cooked on the stove inside. Soon the aroma filled the yard.
It didn't seem like much work, but by the time Jiang Mengxue put everything in the pot to cook, it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was beginning to darken.
Jiang Mengxue had nothing to do but wait.
I took out some pork and cut it up, planning to make some grilled sausages with lamb intestines.
Chop the lean pork into small pieces while retaining some granularity, and chop the fat directly into a paste.
Add salt, ginger powder, five-spice powder, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, and cornstarch, then start stirring. You can add ice water several times in the middle and keep stirring in one direction. Jiang Mengxue was afraid that the sausage would not be firm enough, so she stirred for almost half an hour.
Take out the enema tool, put the sheep intestine on it, and half a basin of meat will be filled in half an hour.
At this time, the belly meat in the pot has been cooked.
Jiang Mengxue took out an iron pot and put the sausages in the pot to cook, added ginger, green onions and cooking wine, and simmered them on medium-low heat throughout the process. The water in the pot must not boil.
This was Jiang Mengxue's first attempt at making grilled sausages. She had seen many people fail and ended up making a pot of broth, so she hoped she would succeed this time.
It was already dark outside. Jiang Mengxue did not sense Gu Qingbei entering the space, so she could only sit in front of the pot and watch the fire.
Jiang Mengxue, who was almost dozing off, was woken up by the noise coming from the He family.
