◎Can you kill?◎
After receiving the goods, Wu Yun directly gave Jiang Che ten Great Unity Banknotes.
Jiang Che took the money, and if it weren't for his face, his mouth would almost be crooked from smiling. Although he had made some money during this period, this was the first time he received so much money at one time.
He couldn't help but count them carefully. When he reached the tenth one, he paused, took one out and returned it: "Too many, too many."
Wu Yunli ignored him and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, stop wasting time with me. The extra five dollars is a deposit. Go back to work if you have nothing else to do. I have to hurry and deliver these sauces to people."
Jiang Che simply didn't refuse, he took the money neatly and said, "Okay, I'll leave first then."
He endured the whole day with the money in his pocket. When he got home in the evening, he didn't even have time to eat. He ran to the kitchen and pulled Wei Xuan back to the house to count the money.
Wei Xuan staggered as he pulled her: "Hey, what are you doing? I'm still cooking."
Jiang Che ignored her, went back into the house, and took out the money to show Wei Xuan: "We are going to be rich, we are really going to be rich, my wife, take out the money box quickly, let's see how much money we have now."
...
...
"Look at you, you useless guy. Just wait." Wei Xuan said to him angrily and turned to get the cash box.
The couple opened the money box and poured all the money inside onto the kang.
It's quite spectacular looking at it this way, because most of them are small coins of fifty cents or one yuan.
Each of them drew a pile and started counting.
It took a while to count them all, and then they added both sides together. They both looked at each other and started to giggle.
"Our savings will soon reach one thousand." Jiang Che didn't expect that he was so rich.
Wei Xuan also likes the feeling of working hard together to save money: "Well, there will be more in the future."
After counting the money, the two calmed down and were shocked to realize that it was already dark outside and their stomachs started to growl.
So Jiang Che was responsible for putting the money back, while Wei Xuan went to the kitchen to reheat the food. After all this trouble, the food had already gone cold.
After dinner, Wei Xuan thought that it was almost time to start preparing the new food she had mentioned before, so she told Jiang Che: "Remember to talk to Brother Wu during this time and leave more meat for us."
Jiang Che became interested when he heard this: "Are you going to do something else?"
"Well, the New Year is coming soon, and we need to prepare some New Year goods for the family, and make some more to sell."
"Okay, Angkor will definitely be happy to help."
In fact, the food Wei Xuan was talking about is very simple, just sausages and bacon.
In addition, Wei Xuan thinks pickled salted duck is also delicious, but obviously there are not so many ducks for her now, so she only plans to pickle some salted duck for her family to eat.
When I was in the orphanage, the director would organize everyone to make sausages and bacon before the Chinese New Year, and then save them for the New Year. Almost every household did this.
But the approach is different in each place.
Wei Xuan prefers sweet sausages, but most people prefer salty ones. This time she plans to try making both, and if she can't sell them, she will keep them for herself to eat slowly.
As for the bacon, she used a recipe she had figured out herself, combining the production methods of several famous places in her previous life. She first rubbed it with a large amount of salt, pepper, soy sauce, sugar, white wine and other seasonings she could find, then put it in a container and left it for about seven days before taking it out for steaming.
"Don't move. Let me do it." Jiang Che saw Wei Xuan was about to move the jar and quickly stopped her.
Wei Xuan tried and found that it was indeed beyond her ability to move, so she didn't try to do anything. "Okay, then you move these two jars of bacon to the corner outside the kitchen."
"Got it," Jiang Che put down the work in his hands and washed his hands.
Wei Xuan walked over to where he had just been squatting and working and asked, "Have you washed all these casings?"
"I don't think there's much left. How about you check it again?" Jiang Che reached out and tried the jar of bacon: "It's really not light."
"It's not much, and it will be even less after it dries."
In order to make bacon and sausages, Wu Yun specially got them a whole pig.
Pigs nowadays are not fat to begin with, and after removing the bones, internal organs, pig heads and other miscellaneous items, the remaining usable meat is less than 150 kilograms.
After all the moisture is dried, only about 100 kilograms of finished products can be obtained, so Wei Xuan feels that the bacon and sausages must not be sold at a low price, otherwise it would be a waste of their hard work.
Sausages are more troublesome to make than bacon. First, you have to cut the meat and mix the seasonings, and then stuff the meat into the sausage casing.
There are no special tools now, so the two can only use the most primitive method and take it slowly. Fortunately, except for being a little slow in the beginning due to unfamiliarity, they become more and more proficient later.
After stuffing the sausages, poke small holes in them with a toothpick and hang them in a ventilated place.
By the time I finished making the sausages and had no time to take a break, Laba Festival arrived.
That morning, Wei Xuan made Laba porridge to suit the occasion. The soft bean porridge was sprinkled with sugar and was very sweet. Wei Xuan drank two bowls by herself.
After Laba Festival, it is time to take out the bacon and steam it.
Considering that it is not convenient to smoke directly with fire, Wei Xuan decided to smoke it in a large iron pot.
Put the smoking materials at the bottom of the iron pot, put a rack on it, put the bacon on it, and turn on high fire underneath. It will be smoked in about twenty minutes.
As for what to smoke with, Wei Xuan and Jiang Che collected all the orange peels and peanut shells they had eaten and added rice bran. Although it was not as fragrant as the cypress smoke, it also had a unique flavor.
Jiang Che smelled the smell and sighed, "It's worth it that I've been picking up unwanted orange peels and peanut shells every day."
Wei Xuan wanted to laugh when she heard this. Wasn't she the same?
This caused Sister Hong to ask her specifically if something happened at home.
After hanging the last string of bacon on the eaves, Wei Xuan and Jiang Che both breathed a sigh of relief. They had been so busy during this period of time and had not had a single moment of rest.
Fortunately, the result was gratifying. Looking at the rows of meat hanging under the eaves, both of them felt extremely satisfied.
In the following period of time, in addition to continuing to make braised meat every day, Wei Xuan used her spare time to make two sets of autumn clothes and autumn pants for Jiang Che.
Until Jiang Che came back with three ducks and two chickens in a sack.
"Wife, I have the duck you want."
Wei Xuan was still in the house making breakfast. When she heard what was said, she ran out to see that the things in the sack were still moving. She asked, "Is it alive? Can you kill it?"
Jiang Che looked at her innocently: "You don't know how to do it? Wu Ge said he had some already slaughtered, but I said no, this is fresher."
Wei Xuan looked back at him silently...
"Okay," Jiang Che surrendered, "I'll figure it out. You don't have to worry about it."
Then Wei Xuan really gave up, because she had no other choice.
