The piece of pork they brought was so big and fatty, there was hardly any lean meat in it.
Ning Jing had already planned it out: cut off a piece of lean meat to cook, and render the rest into oil. The rendered fat could then be mixed with rice or added to stir-fried wild vegetables.
Offal doesn't keep for long, and if I cook it all, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it all.
Xiuhua took out the taro and potatoes, and Ningjing squatted down, holding a kitchen knife to peel them.
Seeing her sister-in-law do this, Xiuhua hurriedly ran out and found a broken piece of tile against the wall.
Then he brought it in and handed it to Ning Jing.
"Sister-in-law, use this to prepare these outer skins."
Potatoes and taro are so small, and a kitchen knife is so big. Peeling them bit by bit is not only dangerous, but also wasteful.
Ning Jing looked at the piece of tile in front of her with a headache. She didn't know how to use it, and what should she do with the outer layer?
When Xiuhua saw that her sister-in-law didn't take it, she simply pulled up her trouser leg, squatted down, and with one hand holding a potato and the other holding a piece of tile, she quickly peeled the potato clean, just like she was peeling something.
After reading it, Ning Jing couldn't help but sigh in her heart, marveling at the incredible wisdom of the people.
"Um, Xiuhua, I'll take care of this. Go ask your older brother if the people who helped us are having lunch here."
Watching Xiuhua's fingers fly as she peeled off the skins of potatoes, Ning Jing couldn't help but want to try it herself.
Also, just delivering some materials shouldn't require that many people, right?
These people are probably here to help build the house.
"Okay, sister-in-law."
Xiuhua handed the tile in her hand to Ningjing, clapped her hands, and walked out.
Sure enough, after unloading the bricks and tiles, those people took out lime powder from the truck and drew lines in the locations designated by Fu Hongxing.
After finishing the drawing, he took the hoe he had brought and started digging the foundation.
"Tell your sister-in-law to cook more meat dishes; she needs oil and fat to work."
When Fu Hongxing heard Ning Jing ask Xiu Hua to inquire, he thought for a moment, worried that Ning Jing might be reluctant to cook the dishes she brought back today, so he gave her an order.
When Ning Jing heard what Xiu Hua said, she didn't feel anything.
After all, although Fu Hongxing brought back a lot of meat today, there seemed to be quite a few people who came to help as well.
Even if we made it all, I doubt each person would get more than a few bites.
"Okay, don't dig up those taro roots, so you don't get itchy hands later."
Simply fill a jar with water, wash off the mud from the taro, and then put it in to cook.
Once it's cooked, set it aside to cool before peeling off the outer skin. Then, your sister-in-law will make you a scallion oil taro dish.
Cut all the potatoes into chunks, then cut the pork into cubes starting from here to make braised pork with potatoes.
Render all the remaining fat into lard, but don't render it too much. You can save the cracklings for your older brother to eat with his drinks, or stir-fry them with some wild vegetables later.
Soak the soybeans first, and then stew them together with the pork skin after you scrape it off.
Braised pork intestines, a small piece of pork liver was steamed into a paste, the rest was sliced and stir-fried, and the pork lungs were cooked with wild vegetables as before.
Also, chop up more sweet potatoes and cook them with the corn grits, so everyone has enough to eat.
The scallions used were wild scallions that Xiuchun and her friends picked up from the mountains when they went to dig for wild vegetables, and they brought them back together with the wild vegetables.
Even if it's not used as a condiment, it can be eaten as a dish on a regular basis. Yesterday, because there were quite a lot of vegetables, Ning Jing specially picked some out and put them aside. She didn't expect them to come in handy today.
