Today the brigade is slaughtering the New Year pig. Guo Youxing and Guo Jianping went to help slaughter the pig early in the morning.
Guo Jianjun and Guo Yu also went out to collect firewood early in the morning. There was not much firewood left at home, and it would be used up quickly when there were so many people.
At noon, Guo Youxing and his son brought back a lot of meat. There were two laborers in the family, and Guo Jianping and his two siblings often went to pick grass for pigs and carry manure when they went home on vacation, so they still had a lot of work points, so they could get a lot of meat this time.
There is a piece of pork belly, a piece of lean meat, two ribs, half a pig's head, and a pair of pig intestines.
There are quite a lot of these things. Although not much compared to others, it is still a big basin.
As soon as I brought it back, Deng Qingling smelled a bad odor, covered her mouth and asked, "Why does it smell so bad? It smells so unpleasant." It made me want to vomit again.
"I ordered a pair of pig intestines, so it smells a bit bad," Guo Jianping said directly.
"It stinks so much, how dare you eat it?" Deng Qingling asked again.
"If you wash it clean, it won't smell bad. It tastes delicious when fried with pickled cabbage and chili peppers. You'll know when the time comes," said Guo Jianping.
"I don't want it. It's for pig shit. You can eat it if you want. I won't eat it anyway," Deng Qingling said quickly with a look of disgust on her face.
"Okay, if you think it smells bad, I'll go to the well to wash it." Guo Jianping was afraid that if he continued talking, his wife would vomit, as if he was asking her to eat shit.
"Yes, yes, go quickly." Deng Qingling couldn't wait for him to go.
Liang Xueying and Deng Qingling began to process the remaining meat.
Separate the fat and lean parts of the pork belly, rub salt on the lean meat and pig head to make bacon, and put it on the side when roasting to make smoked meat.
The fat is used to make lard. Cut the fat into small pieces, boil water in a pot, and blanch the fat. This way, the lard will be cleaner and more fragrant.
After blanching, put the pot back into the heat, add a little water, pour in the fat and start to boil the oil over high heat.
Although the lard produced is not much, only two or three pounds, if used sparingly, it is enough to last for a year.
While the ribs are fresh, let’s make some pork rib and white radish soup first. As for the pig intestines, let’s leave it for Guo Jianping to make himself in the evening.
In the evening, at the dinner table, stir-fried large intestines with pickled cabbage were placed in front of Deng Qingling. She didn't even look at it, but lowered her head to eat her soup and rice.
"Try it, I promise it's really delicious," Guo Jianping almost patted his chest to make the promise.
Seeing that he spoke so highly of the dish, Deng Qingling picked up a piece of pickled cabbage to try it. She said, "This pickled cabbage is delicious, sour, spicy and refreshing." Then she picked up another piece of large intestine.
I chewed it once and it tasted good, but after a few more chews, why couldn't it be chewed? "It tasted good, but it was hard to chew and swallow."
Guo Jianping: "This can be swallowed after just a few chews. If you chew it thoroughly before swallowing, it will be very tiring for your teeth."
"Really?" Deng Qingling responded and swallowed the large intestine, but she felt uncomfortable in her throat. She always felt like something was crawling around, which was very uncomfortable.
Deng Qingling quickly took a few mouthfuls of rice and said, "I'll just eat the pickled cabbage, you guys can eat the pig intestines."
Guo Jianjun said, "Sister-in-law, you really don't know how to enjoy life. This pork offal is the most delicious. I can eat two big bowls by myself." After saying that, he picked up several more pieces of pig intestines.
Guo Jianping: “…” There is nothing that doesn’t taste good.
"We will be fishing in the public pond tomorrow. This year it's our village's turn. You two brothers should go and help," said Guo Youxing.
There is a public fish pond in the brigade, which is not very big. The quality of the fish caught is uneven. There are five villages in the brigade, with two or three hundred households. If the fish are divided together, each household will only have one fish. Many people complained because the difference is too big.
