Li Yan took out the handkerchief she wanted to embroider from the package she brought back and told her mother, "This is the pattern I drew. Do you know how to embroider it?"
Lin picked up the pattern and studied it carefully for a moment. "It's quite novel and unique. I've never seen it before! I'll study it first."
After the two finished talking, Li Yan went to the kitchen. At this time, Daya had already prepared the wood ash. Li Yan took the offal she bought in the town, packed up her things and walked towards the stream.
The stream water is so clear that you can see the bottom, and occasionally you can see small fish swimming around. When she reaches a flat area, Li Yan first cuts open the large intestine with scissors, pours in plant ash, adds a little water, rinses it with water, then removes the grease, and finally rinses it twice more with water.
Daya looked at Li Yanran who was handling the offal neatly and said, "Second sister, are these delicious?"
Li Yan said, "Of course, I'll make you a dish of pickled cabbage and pork intestines today! Please give me your suggestions when the time comes."
After cleaning the offal, the group headed home. Li Yan asked Daya to go to the vegetable garden and pick some chives and cilantro. She, on the other hand, busied herself with cleaning the small intestines. It took a while to peel the casings and place them in a clean bowl.
I found two chopsticks and used them to fix the intestines and wrap them from the bottom up. After wrapping them, I tied knots at both ends and pulled out the chopsticks. Then a sausage elbow was made. However, due to limited intestines, I only made three.
After preparing the ingredients, it was already 3:00 PM. Li Yan quickly took out the spices she had bought. She had to first simmer the marinade for her secret recipe of pork head and pork intestines. The children were busy in the kitchen, and before they knew it, the adults had returned from outside one after another!
As soon as we entered the house, we could smell the rich aroma. After a busy day, everyone was a little hungry! My aunt couldn't help but go into the kitchen and asked, "What's this stew? I can smell the fragrance from far away!" After saying that, she couldn't help but lift the lid of the pot!
Old Mrs. Wu also smelled the smell and came in, coughing. Hearing her mother-in-law's voice, the eldest aunt turned around and said, "Mom, let me see how the eldest girl and the others are preparing dinner!"
Daya hurriedly said, "Grandma, we made a stew of pickled cabbage and pork intestines today, and we're waiting for you to come back and have dinner!"
Old Mrs. Wu asked with a puzzled look in her eyes, "Sour cabbage and pork intestines? Didn't I only allow you to buy meat?"
At this time, the little cousin said anxiously: "Grandma's pickled cabbage and pork intestines are delicious. My sister let me try it this afternoon!" The aunt glared at the boy and told him to shut up.
Li Yan said, "Grandma, I think offal is cheap. I happened to see this kind of food mentioned in a book when I went to the bookstore with Dad last time, so I wanted to give it a try. And my eldest cousin might need it!"
Grandma Wu was even more confused. How could it be related to her eldest grandson? Li Yan told her about her encounter with her cousin in town today.
After saying this, he took out the fifty coins that Wu had given him this morning and said, "Brother, pay for the meat. You can take this money back!"
The aunt-in-law looked at her mother-in-law and wanted to reach out to take it, but was glared at by Old Mrs. Wu.
Wu asked, "How much did it cost to launch these attacks?"
Li Yanran said, "These cost a total of thirty-five cents!"
Wu poked Li Yan's head distressedly and said, "Is a pair of offal so expensive? You were cheated, right? Tell me who it was, I have to settle the score with him." Li Yan hurriedly grabbed her hand and said, "Grandma, there's still half a pig's head!"
"You also bought a pig's head?" Wu's voice suddenly rose. Li Yan hurriedly explained, "I'll cut some up for dinner later and bring it to the table. You can try it. If it doesn't taste good, you can scold me. I promise it's delicious!"
