Song Tanglan and Xu's mother were also quite fast in processing the small intestines, especially since they both had experience in making sausages.
And the small intestine is easier to clean, so it doesn’t take long to finish everything?
They bought a lot of meat this time, so Xu's mother decided to make some sausages and salami. Both of these are easier to preserve and can be eaten for a longer time. When they share them with relatives during the New Year, there won't be much left.
As soon as they finished packing the sausage casings, Xu's mother asked her youngest son to cook. At this time, Xu Qi came back with the New Year's goods they bought.
He was holding something in his hand and had a backpack on his back, which was full of cut meat.
When Song Tanglan saw this, she thought of the more than 50 kilograms of meat they had bought, as well as the meat hanging in the cellar. She also thought of the 20 kilograms of meat she had taken out of the space. If all of these were made into sausages and bacon, she could make a lot of them.
"I'm back!"
"Um."
Xu Qi was very happy to see the little girl coming to greet him, and put down his things.
Xu's mother came forward dragging the basket to sort the meat. She really knew very well what kind of meat was best for making sausages and cured sausages. For example, fatter meat was better for making cured sausages, but leaner meat was also fine for making sausages.
So when she distributed the food, she found that the quantities on both sides were not much different.
Xu Qi looked at his busy mother and saw her smiling so happily, then he asked about the little girl next to her.
"Mother said you wanted to eat sausages. Is that true?"
"Yeah, mom said the sausages you make are delicious. We have prepared the casings. Do you want to make them?" Song Tanglan looked at him expectantly after she said that, thinking that if he agreed to her, she would be able to eat fresh food again.
In fact, it’s not that she hasn’t bought sausages and cured sausages before, but she bought them outside because they weren’t as delicious as the ones made at home. Song Tanglan had never tasted the cured sausages made by Xu Qi, so when Xu’s mother mentioned it, she wanted to eat it.
"Okay, I'll do it later."
Xu Qi knew that the little girl was greedy when he saw her like this. In fact, every time the little girl was greedy, her eyes would wander around and she would swallow her saliva subconsciously.
Thinking of this, I went to the kitchen and prepared to start chopping the meat.
It is said that the Xu family eats meat every few days. Their house is five or six hundred meters away from their neighbors, and if the door is closed, the fragrance cannot spread so far, so they are not afraid to eat meat.
On the contrary, he is very generous.
After all, throughout the year, few people came to their house, except for those familiar people. Even when they made plans to go out and play, it was Xu's mother who went to find them.
So there is no shortage of bacon at home, but after eating too much, Xu's mother occasionally wants to change the taste, so she came up with the idea of sausages and bacon.
Song Tanglan was very happy to hear that he agreed. After lunch, the three members of the family helped Xu Qi.
Everyone was assigned a task, some were cutting ingredients, some were chopping meat.
Xu Qi only needs to be responsible for adjusting the seasoning and frying the spices. After he is done, someone will take the meat from him and start stuffing it into sausages.
After making the sausages and bacon, the remaining meat will be saved for the New Year. In weather like this, it is a natural refrigerator and it won’t go bad if you just throw it in the snow. You just have to worry about cats and dogs taking it away.
So they usually put water on the meat and hang it at the door, and then take it back and put it away when the meat is frozen.
This year's New Year was a very lively occasion for the Xu family. With Song Tanglan around, not only did Xu's mother have someone to chat with, but the other two men who didn't talk much also occasionally joined in the conversation.
It also doesn't seem as deserted as in previous years.
Song Tanglan had already understood the situation of the Xu family during their interactions over the past few months. The more he understood, the more relaxed he became, and he was no longer as cautious as before when speaking.
Talking about gossip with Xu's mother is really easy, especially since the gossip they both know is from different places, so they have a lot of common topics.
Every time Xu Qi looked at his mother who had occupied his wife, he felt helpless, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't say anything to either of them. If he did, they would definitely get angry. His mother had a temper that could easily explode, and he would be scolded endlessly.
If his wife gets angry, she won't let him get on the kang and will ask him to sleep with Xiaonan, so he really can't afford to offend anyone now.
Fortunately, his mother had some sense and at least returned his wife to him at night, otherwise he would have to stay alone in the empty room.
In this lively atmosphere, the sunny weather did not last for a few days and snow began to fall again.
Now all of their cats are hiding in their rooms from the cold of the heavy snow, except Xu Qi who has to get up every day to heat the kang for his family.
Song Tanglan really wanted to stay in bed all day. Not only was the weather cold, but the wind was also so painful that it hurt.
Even though she was wrapped tightly, she still felt cold.
Xu Qi had been watching the little girl huddled on the kang these past few days, unwilling to get down, and he felt helpless. He knew the little girl was afraid of the cold, but he hadn't expected her to be so afraid.
But he was also afraid that she would catch a cold if she went out, so he didn't force her.
Seeing that she was alone in the room, I was afraid that she would be bored, so I stayed with her and watched her paint.
As Song Tanglan was painting, she took out the bag of rubies that she thought were the most beautiful from the space.
She had carefully sorted the gems in these bags and picked out the good quality ones, thinking that she could make them into high-quality and expensive jewelry.
Xu Qi had long been accustomed to the fact that his wife would occasionally conjure up something. At first, he would be afraid that the girl would accidentally show this ability to outsiders, but gradually, he discovered that the girl was very cautious in this regard. Except for closing the door at home, she never did this at other times.
