Chapter 406 Natural Refrigerator 4
Feng Qingxue finished feeding Xi Bao and walked out of the bedroom. She didn't see Lu Jiang. "Tianjun, where is your uncle?"
When I was feeding Xibao, I clearly heard the sound of Lu Jiang coming into the room to distribute candy.
"Kitchen." Lu Tianjun had a candy in his mouth and didn't want to talk, but he had to answer Feng Qingxue's words, so he simply spit out two words and then accelerated the melting of the candy in his mouth.
The Lu family's etiquette had long been ingrained into his bones, and he was not used to talking with food in his mouth.
Feng Qingxue knew his character very well. She laughed and held her fat son, who had just eaten and changed his diaper and was happily playing with her braids. She asked her nephew to help her open the curtain. The mother and son entered the kitchen and heard the sound of tinkling.
"Ajiang, what are you doing?"
"I left two and a half buckets of water outside yesterday, and they froze into ice today. I didn't have time to deal with it when I went out this morning. Now I'm going to drill a hole in the ice in the bucket, and put the meat in there without going bad for a few days." Lu Jiang showed the bucket with the hole in it to his wife.
The winter at this time was much colder than the winter decades later. In the coldest months of the year, water almost turned into ice.
The wooden barrel was half full of ice, and a big hole was chiseled in the middle. Two pounds of pork were put in, and there was still space in the hole. Lu Jiang also put the large intestine that had been washed twice in it, and placed the pork shank on top of the ice.
If you put the lid on the barrel, isn’t it just a natural refrigerator?
This is the good thing about winter: you can freeze dumplings and many foods can be kept for many days without going bad.
Lu Xibao imitated his mother and looked into the bucket. He seemed to recognize the bone and pointed at it and exclaimed.
"Xibao also recognizes bones, right? Do you want to eat meat?" Feng Qingxue smiled, "Mom will make you meat puree tomorrow and cook bone soup with noodles. Forget about tonight, it's not easy to digest meat at night, so our Xibao has to be a good baby."
In fact, the baby was not obedient at all. He pointed at the chisel in Lu Jiang's hand that kept hitting the ice and shouted, "Ahhhhhhhhhh!"
The jingling sounds made the little guy couldn't help dancing.
Feng Qingxue almost couldn't hold him, "Alright, alright, Xibao, don't move around, if you move again, mommy won't hold you anymore!"
"Ah!" The little guy's voice suddenly dropped.
Lu Jiang raised his head and looked at his fat son who was holding his finger with an aggrieved look on his face. "Wife, he seems to really understand what we are saying, but sometimes I don't know if he is pretending not to understand."
"I'm not him, I don't know." Feng Qingxue denied it completely.
Seeing her husband about to put half a pig's head into the bucket, she quickly stopped him and said, "Don't put it in. Go boil some hot water and clean the pig's head and pig's large intestine. I'll braise the pig's head and pig's large intestine tonight and cook them for you to eat with wine tomorrow."
His wife's cooking skills were excellent. Lu Jiang sucked his saliva in disgrace and stuffed the yellow croaker into the bucket of ice.
It was exactly the same as Lu Xibao who was sucking saliva! Feng Qingxue's eyes were full of smiles.
Lu Jiang boiled a pot of hot water and cleaned the pig's head under the guidance of his wife. The butcher had removed the pig's skull in advance and did not weigh it. He only needed to remove the eyes, ear loops, lymph nodes, cartilage and other debris, and remove the pig hair that was not burned clean on the outside. Then he divided it into two large pieces, washed the pig's large intestine over and over again, and scraped the inside of the intestinal wall clean.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After processing and marinating them in a basin, Lu Jiang began to prepare dinner. He did not forget to stew crucian carp soup and noodles for Xibao. Feng Qingxue and Xibao accompanied him in the kitchen, having a lot of free time.
