Chapter 17: Explosive Intestines Back to the topic...
Then again, after Chen put the pig intestines into the wooden basin, he didn't know what to do.
A pair of pig intestines weighs about 5.6 kilograms, and two pairs weigh ten kilograms. They are stacked in layers in the basin, almost filling up the wooden basin.
Ignoring the pungent smell, Su Li poured half of the bucket of clean water she had prepared earlier into the intestine, then squatted down and began to pour in a large amount of wood ash to clean it. The first time, she only needed to clean the mucus on the surface of the pig intestine.
Seeing this, Chen also squatted down to help clean. Su Tao stood aside pinching her nose. After a while, she seemed to have made enough mental preparations, then turned her head, took a few deep breaths, and came over to help.
The three of them cleaned the surface of the pig intestine in no time, but the pig intestine still smelled very bad. Su Tao felt like she was going to vomit the food she had eaten last night. Fortunately, Su Li said to her after a while:
"Fourth sister, please boil some water for me."
Su Tao finally felt relieved after hearing this. She quickly washed her hands, got up and went to the kitchen to light the fire.
This step mainly involves boiling the pig intestines to further remove the odor.
Su Li took advantage of this opportunity to ask her mother Chen for a pair of scissors. When Chen learned that her little daughter wanted to use scissors to cut pig intestines, she specially picked out a pair that had not been used for a long time. There was no other way, the pig intestines were too smelly, and her hands were a little smelly after washing them.
It was then that Chen finally came to her senses. How could she have believed her little daughter so easily? Putting aside the stench of the pig intestines, could they even be cooked to taste good? Even if they did, what good would it matter? They had used so much salt, and the cost was quite high. If they couldn't sell it, it would be a disaster.
She sighed in her heart, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on her rough face, adding a layer of sadness to it.
Forget it, now that I have done it, I can only give it a try.
"Fifth sister, it seems that it is not so smelly anymore." The smell of the cooked pig intestines was a little weaker. Su Li thought that was natural. She had just added wine to remove the fishy smell, so the smell must not be as strong as before.
As Su Tao spoke, she picked up a piece of pig intestines and sniffed it gently, then almost vomited again.
…
She was wrong. It wasn't much better. It still smelled bad, just even worse. Tears welled up in Su Tao's eyes, and she secretly swore in her heart that she would never eat this thing no matter what.
Even though this might hurt Fifth Sister's feelings, it's absolutely impossible for her to eat this! Absolutely!!
Su Li couldn't hear Su Tao's thoughts, she just kept cutting the pig intestines with scissors and then trimming off the fat inside.
There is no need for any skill to cut the fat. If you like a strong taste, cut less. If you don’t like the taste of pig intestines, cut it all off. It all depends on personal taste.
Su Li didn't like the smell of pig intestines, so she cut them very cleanly. After cutting, she added water and continued to wash them repeatedly until she could no longer smell any odor.
It was almost dark at this time. A group of sparrows landed and were quickly startled by Chen's bamboo pole. Chen put down the bucket for feeding chickens, hurried into the house, took a basket and a broom, and started to collect the dried rice in the yard. The rice was almost dried now, and it would take a few more days to be stored in the warehouse.
Su Li withdrew her gaze, scooped half a bowl of rice and two washed and cut sweet potatoes into pieces, and put them into the clay pot to simmer.
Then start to light the fire, heat the pot, pour oil and fry the pig intestines. The key to making the pig intestines delicious is the heat. Quickly pour the pig intestines into the hot pot to stir-fry out excess water, then add a small amount of wine to enhance the flavor and remove the odor, and finally add the pickled peppers and chili peppers that you just cut and stir-fry together. The whole process does not take long.
During this time, Su Tao stood up and sat down on the bench more than once, as if her butt could not sit steadily. She looked at the pig intestines sizzling with oil and emitting a domineering aroma in the big iron pot in the middle of the stove, and swallowed her saliva unwillingly. She couldn't understand how something that smelled so bad just now could become so fragrant.
Could it be that the fifth sister can perform magic and turn the stinky large intestine into a delicious delicacy?
Over there, Chen, who was carrying rice into the house, naturally smelled the fragrance and became curious. Could it be that Wu Ya really did it?
She couldn't help but speed up her movements to try it herself, and her stomach growled while she was distracted.
"Fourth sister, do you want to try it?" Su Li took the chopsticks and asked the girl with a complicated expression.
Su Tao was a little hesitant because the impact she had just received was too strong.
Is it really delicious?
Seeing that Su Tao didn't dare to eat it, Su Li took the lead and picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.
However, just one bite of Su Li made me feel that today's hard work was worth it.
The pig intestines are crispy but not mushy, and very elastic. They are coated with the sourness of pickled peppers and the spiciness of chili peppers. They are sour, spicy and refreshing, and burst in your mouth in an instant, making you want to take another bite after taking one.
Not only that, the pig intestines have a dry aroma because they are stir-fried until they are relatively dry, but they are not too hard to chew, which makes people want to eat them.
Just this one bite of pig intestines, I feel that my taste buds are activated, and my appetite that has been ruined in the hot summer is restored all at once. It is really enjoyable. If there is a cup of cool and refreshing sour plum soup at this time, it would be worth a thousand gold.
Su Tao watched Su Li eat without blinking, counting silently in her heart, waiting for Su Li to spit out the stinky pig intestines. But half a day passed and Su Li didn't vomit, and there was no sign of reluctance on her face. She even ate a few more pieces.
Chen walked in at some point and asked, "How is it?"
Seeing this, Su Li picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and handed it to Chen. Chen just frowned slightly, opened her mouth and ate it.
