Chapter 107 Delicious Sausage

Big Brother Lu invited Wang Mazi to come over, he knows how to kill pigs. When

the Lu family kills pigs, Xu Laonian will definitely come to help, this is his long-standing habit, he thinks that as long as Old Man Lu and Fang Dihua are still alive, they are his bosses, although the government does not allow it, but he thinks so in his heart.

The men are busy catching pigs, tying pigs and killing pigs, and the women are boiling water to prepare to remove the hair.

Wang Mazi: "Wow, this pig is really fat!"

Big Brother Lu borrowed a large scale from the production team to weigh it, it weighs 180 kilograms.

The members who came to watch the excitement were envious. "The pig we handed in was just 120 kilograms, and we almost didn't hand it in."

"We raised it together, and it's 60 kilograms heavier than us. What did it eat to grow so big? It's so delicious."

"Accountant Lu's family is well-fed, and the pigs are also very good. It's really eye-catching."

Mrs. Wang now has a good relationship with Fang Dihua, and said happily: "Not only are the pigs good, but the chickens and ducks are also well-fed. They still lay an egg every two or three days."

Other people's chickens and ducks don't like to lay eggs after winter. Now they lay one every five or six days at most, and some may lay one every ten days.

Everyone envied the Lu family more and more.

They were all in the same production team, so how could they live such a prosperous life?

Looking at myself, I am getting more and more frustrated.

Oh, I have to keep a close eye on the Lu family in the future and get on good terms with them to get some blessings.

Old Changtou was also in the crowd. He looked at the big fat pig and then at the tall and handsome Lu Shaotang, and felt mixed emotions.

His pig didn't complete the task because it wasn't heavy enough. If it was half a pound short, he could still fool around, but if it was four or five pounds short, it wouldn't work.

Oh, if the relationship with the Lu family wasn't so bad, he could shamelessly exchange pigs with them.

Anyway, we're eating it ourselves, so what's a few pounds more or less?

Unfortunately, ever since old man Lu became a barefoot doctor and big brother Lu became an accountant, he became more and more stern. Seeing that old man Lu was no longer welcoming, he thought that the two families had severed ties, so he was too embarrassed to mention it .

At this time, Lu Shaotang came back, caught gangsters and killed the New Year pig. Half of the members of Lujiazhuang came to see Lu Shaotang, and then watched him and the pig being killed, so he naturally sneaked in.

With so many people around, people would not pay attention to him, and they didn't have to talk to him.

Alas, all the good things in the world have been taken by the Lu family.

God is really biased.

But Lao Changtou felt that he was not a vicious person, and never hoped that others would die. It was of course good to be alive.

But how can he let the Lu family know that he is also looking forward to Lu Shaotang's return? If human will can produce miracles, then his family also contributed to Lu Shaotang's return.

The Lu family should thank someone,

no matter what. Old Chang is here thinking about all sorts of things, but Lu Shaocai is uncomfortable at home.

He has been in a trance for several days since he lost his accounting job. He is afraid of embarrassment and does not go out. He asked Zhao Meifeng to contact the old man, but he has not been able to contact him. Instead, he received a New Year subsidy of 30 yuan.

He was too lazy to see what happened to Xu Ermao yesterday. He had no interest. What does other people's life and death have to do with him?

Unless he returns the accounting job to him and apologizes to him in a nice tone and invites him to take the position, he has decided to give them the cold shoulder for the rest of his life.

Lu Shaotang came back suddenly, and he was a little confused. He

really wasn't dead.

Then...then his second uncle's family automatically owed him a favor.

He waited for Lu Shaotang to come and say hello to him and invite him over for dinner, but Lu Shaotang didn't come to see him since he came back yesterday afternoon, and today he was killing pigs at home, and still didn't come to invite him!

Lu Shaocai was so angry that he was really going to die.

Impolite, right?

Ignoring him, right?

If he got mad, he would go to the grave and cry, believe it or not?

Zhao Meifeng didn't have that much confidence, she was scared!

"Oh my god, what should I do?"

"I introduced a date to his wife. If he finds out, he will slap me to death, right?"

"I heard that he smashed Xu Ermao's face with one punch, and his teeth, nose, ears and jaw were all broken."

Lu Shaocai: "What are you talking about? How dare he touch you when I'm here?"

Zhao Meifeng calmed down and said, "Yes, his wife still owes me money and cloth and cotton. The cotton shoes I wanted to make for Changfu were made by her for your second uncle."

And her cotton-padded jacket, the cloth she lent to Lin Shu!

It can't be wasted!

She has to continue to associate with Lin Shu, and she must get those back. She absolutely can't lose out.

With this in mind, Zhao Meifeng packed ten eggs and carried them in a gourd to visit and congratulate Lin Shu next door.

Yesterday, Lu Shaotang brought Lin Shu back, and the neighbors went to visit. She wanted to go, but she was afraid of Lu Shaotang, so she didn't dare to go.

She tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep, and today she finally plucked up the courage.

She didn't even know it, but the superiority she had always felt in front of Lin Shu disappeared unconsciously, and now when she saw Lin Shu, she unconsciously tried to please her.

When she saw Lin Shu, she comforted and congratulated her.

Lin Shu injured her ankle and toe, not her foot, so naturally she didn't want to listen to Lu Shaotang and stay on the kang to recuperate.

She was teaching Lu Xiuxiu how to make clothes, and she didn't look cold when she saw Zhao Meifeng coming over.

People like to celebrate during the Chinese New Year.

"Didn't I tell you that he's back? Why do you believe it now? You said you didn't believe me, but why are you still talking to me all day?"

Zhao Meifeng said quickly, "I don't believe it. It's good that he's back, it's good that he's back."

Lin Shu: "Do you have any fabric? I'll make clothes for you."

Zhao Meifeng refused quickly, "No, no."

She was obviously a fierce person, but now she couldn't act like a jerk in front of Lin Shu.

Lu Xiuxiu was very surprised. Is the third aunt... too powerful?

This aunt from the next room is mean and takes advantage of others. The second aunt is scared. Why does the third aunt treat her so kindly?

Zhao Meifeng saw Lin Shu was busy, and after a few words, she went out to watch the pigs being slaughtered.

Lin Shu continued to teach Lu Xiuxiu how to make clothes.

She found that Lu Xiuxiu had not learned much in the past two years. Maybe her master had laid a foundation first. Her level of hand sewing and sewing was good. Lu Xiuxiu could basically do what she asked.

But Lu Xiuxiu still couldn't sew a complete piece of clothing, let alone cut it. She couldn't do it at all.

She asked, and Lu Xiuxiu said that Guo Tailor only let her and another girl help. The master cut the clothes, and they sewed, hemmed, buttoned, and buttoned the clothes, but he didn't teach her the complicated skills of sleeves, collars, trousers, waists, and pockets.

The master said that he would wait until the third year to teach them, so that they could lay a solid foundation first.

Lin Shu guessed that the most complicated skills would be taught to them in the last few days of the third year.

She found that Lu Xiuxiu was not a smart girl, and she was not a fast learner, but she had one advantage, her personality was not impatient, she would listen to whatever you said, she would not refute or question, and she would not show any unhappy emotions.

I don't know if she was born like this or if she was PUA by the master.

"Xiuxiu, let's take a break." Lin Shu said a little dry-mouthed.

She had to teach Lu Xiuxiu several times before she could understand something.

Lu Xiuxiu stood up and took the initiative to pour tea for Lin Shu, and brought her some red dates. "Auntie, take a rest."

She sat down again and continued to think, using scraps of cloth to practice the method of putting on the sleeve cage that Lin Shu taught her.

Lin Shu drank the tea, chewed the red dates slowly, and watched Lu Xiuxiu do needlework.

She couldn't help but sigh that the Lu family had good genes. Lu Xiuxiu was only 15 years old after the Chinese New Year, and now she is 170 cm tall.

She is 165 cm tall, and she is tall when standing with others. After all, most people these days are malnourished. A woman of 160 cm is considered tall, and some men are about 165 cm tall. 170 cm is considered tall.

Compared with these people in the Lu family, she is short.

Who makes Fang Dihua and Lu Dasao both tall? Their father is short and their mother is short. If the mother is tall, most of the children will not be short.

Lu Xiuxiu looks like her elder brother Lu and is very beautiful, but her eyes are like Lu Dasao, very black and bright, and you can tell she is full of energy.

She is tall, quiet, and has a bit of classical beauty, which is pleasing to the eye.

Lin Shu really likes her looks and wants to give her an ancient hairstyle and dress her up in Chinese clothes. She will definitely be a gentle and classical beauty.

But does this beautiful girl look a little...melancholy? She is only fourteen years old, why does she look so lifeless?

She asked Lu Xiuxiu to stop, "Go out and play for a while. Didn't you sew a shuttlecock? Go play shuttlecock with your brothers and sisters."

Lu Xiuxiu was a little embarrassed. Although Lin Shu's tone was gentle, she was afraid that her aunt would criticize her.

The shuttlecock she sewed was not a chicken feather shuttlecock, but a small square pocket made of cloth, which was filled with corn kernels or beans. There were six small pockets in total, and each corner was sewn two by two. In the end, it turned out to be a shuttlecock like a ball.

Who would be willing to use cloth to sew shuttlecocks these days?

If adults saw it, they would be beaten.

But the Lu family didn't care about this. Fang Dihua was outgoing and would use things to make the children happy as long as she wasn't hungry, so Lu Xiuxiu didn't even say anything when she was sewing a shuttlecock. But Lu Xiuxiu had

been staying with her aunt and master for a long time, and she was inevitably nervous because she saw that the rules of other people's families were also applied to her.

Lin Shu saw that she didn't go out to play, but stood there with her head down, fiddling with the corners of her clothes, as if she had done something wrong.

Such a tall girl stood in front of her, with her head down, looking like an elementary school student. Lin Shu felt a little pressured.

"Xiuxiu, what's wrong?"

Lu Xiuxiu whispered, "I won't... waste food, and I won't play too much in the future."

Lin Shu felt a little sympathetic for her.

The children of the Lu family were almost all free to do what they wanted. Even Lu Cuicui was scolded by her mother all day long, but she was not so cautious. The sensible Lu Xiuxiu was not scolded by anyone, but she was still so cautious.

If you are not happy learning skills, don't learn them.

Lin Shu smiled and said, "What are you talking about? How is food wasted? This is not called playing around, this is called combining work and rest. If you don't go to learn skills, you can cook and sew at home now, and you can play as you like."

Seeing that she had no intention of criticizing, Lu Xiuxiu really went out to play.

Outside, Tiantian, Panpan and Xu Xiaoyou were throwing sandbags.

Because Lu Hehuan did not go back to her parents' home to visit her uncle and aunt yesterday, Xu Xiaoyou packed up the gifts from relatives in a serious manner after breakfast today. She took a small basket of hawthorns that Xu Shihua brought home yesterday, and put a few taro in it. The other white sugar and brown sugar cans were locked by Xu's mother and she couldn't get them, so she just gave up.

Anyway, Grandma Fang and the uncle didn't care what they took, it was just a gesture.

When the third brother came back, Lu Hehuan of course wanted to go back to her parents' home to get together, and she insisted that Xu Shihua come with her.

But Xu Shihua coldly refused.

Because Lu Hehuan took the initiative to ask Lin Shu to make clothes for him and was humiliated, he was very angry and kept using cold violence against Lu Hehuan.

Lu Hehuan felt upset for a while but then she didn't take it seriously and continued to try to please him every day. If he ignored her

, she would just let him go back to her parents' home with her. Now that her third brother is back, she must let him go back with her!

Xu Shihua refused, and Lu Hehuan felt upset and insisted on asking him why he didn't go.

"My third brother hasn't been home for several years and almost died before. Now he finally comes home and all his relatives and friends come to visit him. How can you not go?"

Xu Shihua: "Why should I go?"

What does his coming back have to do with me?

Go to listen to him show off that he married Lin Shu?

To see Lu Shaotang show off that he is taller than him, more handsome than him, can make more money than him, or can fight better than him?

He went to see Lu Shaotang, which was completely to fulfill Lu Shaotang's vanity, completely suppressing himself, and not doing himself any good.

Why did he go?

His parents-in-law would not change their opinion of him if he went, and they could not treat him worse if he did not go, so why did he go?

Xu Shihua rode his bike to another village to find pen pals to discuss writing poetry. Lu Hehuan was angry with him and insisted on watching him, so she followed him in the back seat.

So Xu Xiaoyou, a small child, came to welcome his uncle home on behalf of the family.

Fang Dihua valued Xu Xiaoyou more and more, hated Xu Shihua and Xu's mother more and more, and felt more and more towards Lu Hehuan: What a sin I have done to give birth to a fool!

Killing pigs is too scary, Fang Dihua did not let the children go to watch, and only let them watch after the hair was removed and the pigs were decomposed.

They looked at the white and red meat, which had a fishy smell instead of the fragrance of the pot, and immediately lost interest and played the shuttlecock game.

Over there, Fang Dihua had someone add salt to pig blood, and then had a basin of pig blood coagulate. She also had Big Brother Lu and Second Brother Lu wash the pig's large and small intestines, rub them vigorously with alkaline flour, and finally rub them with sweet potato flour. After rubbing them clean, they piled them in the basin, and then she asked Lin Shu to make nine-turn large intestines.

Big Brother Lu loves to eat but doesn't like to handle them, because they think they are dirty, so while Xu Laonian was helping Second Brother Lu, he slipped aside to talk to Lu Shaotang.

"Third brother, why don't you get a jeep to drive during the New Year?"

Big Brother Lu was happy for a few days because there was a bicycle at home, but other people also had bicycles, so he thought it would be awesome if he could get a jeep and drive it for two days.

"I learned to drive a car, I can even drive a tractor!" He was very proud.

Lu Shaotang was not used to him like his second brother, "The army didn't reward me with a jeep, where can I get one?"

Fang Dihua heard it and hit Big Brother Lu with a stick, "Your skin will itch if I don't hit you for a day."

Lu Shaotang glanced at Big Brother Lu, although he didn't say anything, he said everything: Big Brother, you are old and you still let me hit you, you are really capable.

Big Brother Lu blushed and wanted to save face, but Lu Shaotang had already gone into the house to see his wife.

Seeing Lin Shu sitting in front of the sewing machine, he thought she was making clothes, "Your feet need to be taken care of, don't use force."

Lin Shu: "I'll just sit for a while."

Lu Shaotang squatted down to check her ankle. The medicinal wine worked well, and he rubbed it with good strength, and the swelling was very effective.

She was bored, so she asked Lu Shaotang to help her go out to take a look.

It was not easy to kill a pig, and every drop of blood could not be wasted, and every part had to be used to its full potential. She wanted to discuss it with her mother-in-law.

Lu Shaotang stretched out his hand to hug her.

Lin Shu was angry and glared at him. He hugged her angrily and helped her out, taking three steps at a time.

Lin Shu: "Mom, let's make some sausage wraps this year."

Fang Dihua: "What sausage wraps? There are only large and small intestines here."

Lin Shu: "Why not just wrap them together?"

Everyone was curious and asked how to wrap them together.

Lin Shu checked it out and said, "Wash it clean, chop a bowl of minced ginger, mix it with pepper powder, pepper powder and chopped green onions, mix them evenly and stuff them into the small intestine, then stuff three or four small intestines with ingredients into a large intestine. Later, boil a big pot of pig heads, offal, pig trotters, etc., it smells delicious."

It hasn't even been cooked yet, but everyone is drooling at her words, and they all want to make sausage wraps quickly.

This job had to be done carefully and cleanly, so Fang Dihua let Father Lu and Second Brother Lu do it, and didn't allow Sister Lu to interfere.

Sister Lu was very rough at doing housework.

Some were making sausages, while others were cutting pork, each doing their own job.

The weather was cold in the month of Leon, and water would freeze into ice. The pork that was not to be eaten was wrapped in newspapers and oil paper and placed in a clay pot. It would soon freeze a layer, and at night it would be frozen in a large vat.

Wang Mazi, who helped to kill the pig, didn't want any reward, but just stayed to eat the pig-killing dishes. Almost every household killed a pig at the end of the year, and he could eat more than ten pounds of fat during the New Year.

Fang Dihua invited Wang Pozi and Hu Zi to stay and eat together.

Different places have their own different flavors of slaughtered pigs, but most of them are rough in the north. A large iron pot with 12 seals is heated up, and pig blood, pig bones, and pig offal are boiled in a pot. When it is

ready, cabbage, tofu, etc. are added. This year, Lin Shu made a different slaughtered pig dish for them. Instead of fresh cabbage, she used sauerkraut that had been stored for a long time.

The large bones, spare ribs, etc. are used to make soup, and then pig blood, sauerkraut, radish, and potatoes are added.

Another large pot is used to make brined meat. The broken pig head, pig ears, pork strips, pig trotters, pig intestines and other pig offal are all thrown in, and a large bag of seasonings wrapped in gauze is added. It is boiled over high heat and simmered over low heat for at least three hours.

These spices were collected by Lin Shu over the past six months. Some were bought from the supply and marketing cooperative, some were Chinese herbs that Lu's father helped him get, some were picked from the wild, and some were collected from the canteen of the steel mill.

Dozens of spices were perfectly matched together to perfectly stimulate the aroma of the pork.

In other words, the soup was delicious even for dipping shoe soles.

After a few hours, the aroma swirled around the Lu family's yard, and swirled with the wind to other people's homes. It was really fragrant for ten miles, and the surrounding villages could smell the aroma of their brined pork.

The pot of big bones and pickled cabbage is ready first.

Fang Dihua asked Aunt Li, Jin Ping'er, Aunt Qiu, Aunt Wang and others to come for dinner. They were only willing to come one person at a time, and at most they would bring their children who were close to Tiantian and Panpan. When they killed a pig, they would also invite Old Man Lu and others to eat the slaughtered pig dishes.

There was a lot of give and take, and they got along well.

Fang Dihua would serve half a small basin of meat soup to those who didn't come, scoop up the side dishes, pig blood, and bones, and let the children pass it over, and everyone followed suit.

This fragrant meat soup is so fragrant that even the pancakes are so fragrant.

When the pot of salted pork was cooked in the evening, the whole village was so hungry that they couldn't sleep!

This is too... fragrant, right?

Even big fat meat is not so fragrant!

It's not like every family has slaughtered a pig for the New Year and stewed a big pot of pork, why isn't it so fragrant?

The meat at home is not fake.

I must go to Lu's house tomorrow to ask for some meat soup to taste!

When I slaughter a pig for the New Year at home, I have to ask Lin Shu to help direct it, and it has to be cooked so fragrantly!

After eating a slaughtered pig dish in the afternoon, Fang Dihua was reluctant to eat the salted pork in the evening, and only gave everyone in the family a piece of sausage.

It has a strong ginger flavor, but it is not too spicy. It has a rich and mellow fat aroma, but it is not greasy at all. It is also filled with fragrant meat soup. It is really delicious, rich, chewy and satisfying.

They have never eaten this before, and adults and children all say it is delicious.

Brother Lu's eyes sparkled as he ate the food, and he felt so satisfied that he could die on the spot!

"If I drink two cups of wine, it will be even more perfect. It is a delicious enjoyment that even gods would not trade for!"

Father Lu was very happy. He made an exception for San'er. After drinking in the afternoon, the whole family had a few drinks in the evening. The main reason was not to let down the delicious brined pork.

There were preserved fruits, fruit jams, and canned fruits made by Lin Shu for the children at home. They took them out and soaked them in water for toasting with the adults. It was a warm and noisy time.

Xu Xiaoyou was asked to stay overnight by Fang Dihua.

Lu Xiuxiu loved cleanliness. She originally thought that the sausage must not be clean and delicious, but she was conquered the moment she tasted it.

She had never eaten such delicious sausage!

The meat soup was also good. It had solidified into jelly. It tasted unique, with distinct layers, rich and refreshing.

Dipping it in mashed garlic was an ultimate enjoyment.

Lin Shu didn't drink alcohol when eating the slaughtered pig in the afternoon. At this time, the family was in a happy atmosphere, and she couldn't help but drink two cups.

Fang Dihua was afraid that it would affect her foot.

Father Lu: "It's just a small injury, it's okay."

The whole family was happy that San'er came back, and it was reasonable to drink two cups.

While Brother Lu was pestering his father, Lu Shaotang secretly clinked the wine cup with his wife, and looked at her with a smile in his bright black eyes.

Lin Shu: "Dry!"

She drank it all in one gulp. Although she didn't have the alcohol tolerance of Fang Dihua and Sister-in-law Lu, she could still drink a few cups.

Lu Shaotang: "...Drink slowly."

He wanted her to just take a sip, but who knew that she drank it all in one gulp.

Lin Shu poked him with her wine glass, "Pour it up for me."

Mrs. Lu came to clink glasses with Lin Shu again, and they clinked glasses with Fang Dihua, and the children drank from the glasses in this way and that way.

After a while, Lin Shu drank four or five cups of wine.

The smell of alcohol on her face made her look like peach blossoms and her eyes like water.

Lu Shaotang didn't dare to give her any more wine, and let her and the children drink sweet water.

Lin Shu even made a face at him, "Stingy!"

Lu Shaotang quietly pinched her waist.

While washing up, Big Brother Lu found that the third brother was particularly happy, and he was humming an unknown tune.

He smiled and said, "Third brother, the brine made by your sister-in-law is so delicious! If you can eat it three times a year, your life will not be in vain."

The hidden message is, Third brother, find a way to get a pig back every few months.

Lu Shaotang was so happy that he didn't say anything to his elder brother. He quickly washed up and went into the house.

Lin Shu looked at the empty kang and had a bad feeling.

Unfortunately, she had drunk a little wine, so her brain was a little slow, and the wine made her brain relaxed, so she couldn't resist the temptation at all.

Originally, she said that she had to rest because of the injury, but when Lu Shaotang came into the house and took off his vest, revealing his strong and distinct chest and abdominal muscles, she touched him with jealous eyes.

Lu Shaotang had drunk wine, and there was a hint of red in his eyes. His voice was also very low: "Your foot is not healed yet." She was

in so much pain last night that she whined in his arms and said she couldn't sleep.

Lin Shu moved her feet, which were soaked in medicinal wine, and continued to touch him, "It's okay, I don't need my feet anyway."

Later, when she sobered up, she regretted it.
