Before dawn the next day, Lin Qingmei took Lin Zheng to the county town on a bicycle.
The weather in July was hot and muggy, and when the sun gradually rose, the scorching sun shone on the two of them. Lin Qingmei's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, but she didn't stop pedaling.
Arriving at the county town, there were already many people coming and going on the streets. Lin Qingmei first took Lin Zheng to the supply and marketing store to buy pork. Even though they came very early, there was already a long queue at the pork sales place.
Finally it was Lin Qingmei's turn. There were only some lean meat and bones left on the chopping board. Fortunately, the pork she wanted had not been bought yet.
"How much is the pig head?"
"Two dollars for a pig's head, and a half-pound of meat ticket."
"I'm buying a whole pig's head. Can you give me a set of pig's intestines?"
"Okay, pig intestines are hard to handle. You should clean them several times when you return."
Lin Qingmei gave two yuan for half a pound of meat ticket, and happily took Lin Zheng away from the supply and marketing department.
Afterwards, the brother and sister went to a wonton shop on the street, and Lin Qingmei ordered two bowls of wonton noodles.
"Second sister, this pig's head doesn't taste good at all. Why did you buy it?" Lin Zheng was originally looking forward to having meat at noon, but when he saw the pig's head in his second sister's hand, he suddenly didn't want to eat meat anymore.
"Lin Zheng, you don't understand this. This pig's head will be so delicious when it's cooked. After I clean it at noon, I will make some braised meat for everyone. Don't cry with greed then. As for the pig's large intestine, you can wash it and stir-fry it with sauerkraut." Lin Qingmei loved eating braised pig's head in her previous life. In order to eat clean and delicious braised pig's head, she specially found a master chef who could make delicious braised pig's head and learned from him for more than a month.
"I bought pig heads when my dad was still alive, but my mom didn't cook them well. She didn't even clean the pig hair off, and it pricked my mouth when I ate it." Lin Zheng wanted to vomit whenever he thought of the memory of eating pig heads. That was the worst meat he had ever eaten.
"Pig heads are very dirty. If you don't clean them properly, they won't taste good. Try the pork head I make at noon. I guarantee you'll love the taste."
At this time, the wonton noodles were served. In the steaming bowl, the wontons with thin skin and large fillings floated on the surface, and the soup exuded an attractive aroma. The brother and sister ate it with big mouthfuls. After eating, Lin Qingmei took Lin Zhengdian to the department store to buy two kilograms of chicken biscuits and one kilogram of sugar.
After coming out of the department store, Lin Qingmei drove Lin Zheng home.
After returning home, Lin Qingmei put Lin Zheng down and rushed to the farm. In order for everyone to have braised pig heads at noon, she was asked to go back quickly to teach Second Grandma Lin how to make it.
After Lin Qinglan joined the army, the farm changed several chefs. Finally, Second Grandma Lin managed to stay because of her delicious preserved meat rice.
"Qingmei, I have cleaned the pig's head. Come here and teach me how to make braised pork." It took Second Grandma Lin more than an hour to clean the pig's hair.
Lin Qingmei walked into the kitchen, looked at the processed pig head, and nodded with satisfaction.
She began to instruct Mrs. Lin Er to prepare various seasonings, and the stove was filled with star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, peppercorns, etc.
While Lin Qingmei was explaining the steps, she personally started to cook. She blanched the pig's head, put it into the pot, added the prepared sauce and stewed it.
At this time, other people in the farm smelled the fragrance and gathered around. Everyone's eyes were shining, staring at the pig head in the pot.
