After leaving the Chinese medicine store, Lin Siya changed her clothes again, asked passers-by about the location of the tailor shop, took out the clothes and pants she bought at the supply and marketing cooperative, as well as a few pieces of cloth from the space, and prepared to go to the tailor shop to have her clothes altered.
The tailor shop was not far from her home, where there was a master tailor and several apprentices.
"Master Chen, I want to have these clothes altered. They're too big for me. How long will it take? I also want to have two more clothes made. How much will it cost?"
The tailor's surname was Chen. After looking at the clothes and fabrics Lin Siya had brought out, he carefully measured her and said, "Your clothes don't need alterations. I'll just fill them in a little. You're still young and have a chance to grow. When you grow taller and fatter, you can just take out the stuff that was filled in. Clothing can be folded in quickly. If you're not in a hurry, you can just wait here for a while. If I were to make the clothes, it would take three days."
"Okay, Master Chen, please help me put these clothes away first. I will wear them to work in a few days. As for the other clothes, there is no need to rush. You can take your time."
Lin Siya waited in the tailor shop for more than half an hour. After her shirts, jackets and pants were all put away, Lin Siya tried them on and found that they were much better than before. Although they were still loose styles, they were finally not empty anymore.
She left the money for alterations and making the clothes, and the tailor shop also gave her a receipt with the time to pick up the clothes written on it. Then Lin Siya went straight home.
When they were almost home, Lin Siya took out all the big bones and offal she had bought and carried them back with difficulty.
"Hey, girl Lin, why did you buy so many things?"
When several neighbors saw her carrying such a large basket, they hurried forward to help.
"Aunt Xu, Aunt Zhang, and all the sisters-in-law, thank you. I didn't buy anything fancy, just some pork bones and offal. Those don't require tickets."
"Oh, girl, why did you buy all this? There's no meat on it, and the offal is inedible. Oh, girl, you really don't know how to live."
Several aunts and sisters-in-law looked disgusted, thinking that they would be better off buying meat with the money.
"Auntie, these bones are good. When I was in the hospital, the doctor told me that they contain calcium. People of short stature can use them to make soup. When making the soup, you have to break the bones into pieces for the best effect. And as for the pig offal, I saw a method for preparing it in a book. As long as it is prepared properly, it tastes good too."
When several aunts and sisters-in-law heard that the doctor in the hospital said that this bone was good, they immediately became interested.
"Lin girl, are you serious? Is it really that effective?"
People nowadays generally do not grow tall. In addition to environmental factors, another reason is that there are no calcium supplements in this era. Every household has many children, and it is very difficult to ensure that every child is well fed, so people do not pursue quality.
"I heard what the doctor said, so I bought some to try. These things are cheap anyway, and at most they will just waste some firewood."
"That makes sense. I'll go back and try it."
"I'll go back and try too. My kid is short."
"My daughter too!"
With the help of several people, Lin Siya finally got the basket of things back home.
Several neighbors didn't stay long either. Each family had a lot of work to do, so it was difficult to chat much.
After seeing off the neighbors, Lin Siya was not idle either. She immediately started to process the pig bones and offal she brought back.
Break the cleaned pig bones and put them directly into the pot with cold water. After the water boils, skim off the foam and transfer them to the coal stove. Stew them slowly in a large casserole. There is only one big pot at home, and she has forgotten where she copied the coal stove from. It also comes with several hundred kilograms of coal balls, which are just right for stewing soup.
After stewing the pork bones, Lin Siya began to prepare the pig offal.
Pig offal tastes good, but is difficult to process. Fortunately, these offal had been slightly pre-processed when she bought them, otherwise she wouldn't dare to eat them.
After cleaning the pig's offal inside and out, Lin Siya scooped a spoonful of flour into it and began to rub it continuously. Then she poured vinegar and salt, and cleaned the pig's stomach, intestines, etc. until there was no smell.
Then she put the food into the pot with cold water, added cooking wine, green onions, and ginger, and blanched them. After the water boiled, she took out all the ingredients, washed them again, and put them back into the pot. She also added the marinade and various seasonings that she had prepared at the Chinese medicine store today, and started to stew them slowly.
The smell of the braised pork offal was so overpowering that passersby stopped and looked for the source of the fragrance.
When the braised pig is put into the water, the pig bones have already been boiled. The essence of the pig bones has been boiled out, and the soup has become milky white and very rich.
Lin Siya directly took out the pork bones, leaving only the bone soup. She added hand-rolled noodles and rapeseed into the soup. Although it was not time to eat yet, she was very hungry after a busy day. After eating a big bowl of hand-rolled noodles in pork bone soup, she felt comfortable all over.
After a large pot of braised pork offal was ready, Lin Siya took it out of the pot, cut a little of each, and cut several plates in a row. She planned to give these things to the neighbors who had helped her.
The first house they went to was Aunt Feng's. Although Aunt Feng lived far away from their home, she was the most enthusiastic person in the area. When the original owner was young, he had also received help from Aunt Feng.
