Siheyuan: Traveling through Cai Quanwu, pretending to be Uncle Shazhu

Of course Cai Quanwu didn't know about the conversation between the deaf old lady and the eldest lady. Even if he knew, he would laugh it off.

Although you have lived a long time and have seen a lot, I have experienced the baptism of the information explosion and know more than you.

When Sha Zhu arrived home, he saw Cai Quanwu and He Yuyu eating happily. He went directly to the kitchen, filled a bowl of noodles, and sat on the table to eat.

After eating a bowl of noodles, Cai Quanwu burped. Silly Zhu's craftsmanship was good, and the noodles were cooked very authentically.

He lit a cigarette and said to He Yuyu, who had also finished the noodles and looked at him: "Yu Yu, wash the dishes later. Your brother will be busy later. He has a lot to do tonight, such as curing bacon, Making sausages and braised pork is enough to keep him busy."

Hearing Cai Quanwu's words, He Yuyu nodded.

At this time, Shazhu finished eating the noodles and said to Cai Quanwu with a smile: "Uncle, I will go get some pine wood and bring it back tomorrow. The smoked meat will be fragrant."

Cai Quanwu was happy to hear Sha Zhu talking about smoked bacon. He didn't like to eat smoked bacon. He preferred marinated and dried bacon.

"Zhuzi, I think you have misunderstood me. Just marinate the meat for two days and then hang it up to dry. Uncle is not used to smoked bacon."

Cai Quanwu explained to Shazhu the method of curing bacon in his mind.

When Si Zhu heard Cai Quanwu's explanation of the production method, he didn't refute it, which would save him trouble.

After resting for a while, He Yuyu went to wash the dishes, and Sha Zhu began to take the meat out of the kitchen and start chopping it on the table.

Silly Zhu picked out the bones from the meat for making sausages and put the meat aside to make sausages later. You can keep the bones for later braised and stewed in soup.

Then start processing the meat to be marinated, chop the meat into pieces, and set it aside to prepare for marinating.

After processing, Shazhu put the meat in a basin and marinated it with salt and peppercorns. This is very simple. The main thing is to control the salt and not be too salty.

After marinating, put the basin aside and cover it with a lid to prevent mice from getting in.

After the bacon is marinated, Shazhu handles the things that need to be marinated. Just cut the large intestine into a few cuts, otherwise it will be too long. Wash the rest and just put it in the pot without cutting it.

However, the pig head must be cleaned properly, otherwise there will be too much hair to eat.

Silly Zhu took the stove to the side and put the pliers on the stove to burn them red. If there were hairs that could not be removed with a knife, he used the red pliers to burn them. After a while, the room was filled with the smell of burnt hairs.

Just when He Yuyu finished washing the dishes and came out, he saw his brother scalding the pig's head with red pliers. He thought it was very interesting and insisted on trying it.

Then, wherever Silly Pillar points, He Yuyue burns wherever he goes. It's fun for the two of them to play together.

It took a lot of time to clean the hair on the pig's head, and then rinsed the pig's head with water. It took several times to wash it.

After finishing the things to be marinated, Silly Zhu took them to the kitchen, rinsed them with water again, and put them in a basket to drain.

Taking advantage of the time to drain the water, Silly Zhu took out a large pot, rinsed it with water, and put it on the stove.

After placing them, put the pig head, large intestine, pig heart, and pig lungs into the pot, and then add water to the pot. When the water was almost added, Shazhu began to put salt and various marinades in it, such as pepper, star anise, and fennel. etc.

Put in the seasonings, cover and simmer slowly.

After doing this, Shazhu returned to the main room and began to chop meat and stuff it with sausages.

There was meat on the cutting board. Silly Zhu chopped it repeatedly with a knife. After mincing it, he put it in the basin.

After chopping a few pieces of meat, Shazhu guessed that his arm couldn’t bear it, so he said pitifully: “Uncle, chop it a few times, my arm is so sore, and I have to pour it into my intestines later.

Cai Quanwu happened to be bored and readily agreed.

"Okay, you take a break and I'll chop the rest."

After saying that, he stood up, took the knife from Shazhu's hand, and started chopping.

Cai Quanwu thought, it's a good thing not to chop it into dumpling fillings, otherwise it would be very troublesome.

With Cai Quanwu's unremitting efforts, he finally chopped the meat. During this period, He Yuyu insisted on trying it twice. After chopping for less than two minutes, he put it down and retreated.

After the meat was chopped, Shazhu began to mix it with seasonings, such as white wine, sugar, salt, five-spice powder and so on.

After mixing, the next step is to watch Shazhu's performance. Nowadays, there is no machine for filling sausages at home, and most people really can't get it.

But Silly Zhu was an experienced practitioner. He tied one end of the small intestine with a rope, took out a spoon, and started drinking. His movements were very skillful. It seemed that he had done this a lot when he was learning the art.

In more than an hour, Shazhu filled the sausages, and then tied knots with thread about ten centimeters apart. After that, he used a needle to poke holes in the sausages. After the holes were punched, Shazhu hung them all up.

We haven't started getting rid of the four pests yet. There are a lot of rats, so we still have to be careful.

After all the work was done, the three of them came to the kitchen to see how the braised pork in the pot was doing.

When I opened the lid of the pot, a scent of fragrance hit my nostrils. Fortunately, it was already very late and most people in the courtyard had gone to bed at this time, otherwise there would probably have been quite a fuss.

As the aroma spread, Shazhu poked the pig's head with a chopstick. It felt almost the same, so he sealed the stove.

Silly Zhu took the pot down, put the kettle on the stove, then smiled and said to Cai Quanwu: "Uncle, I'll cut some braised pork, and we can eat two bites?"

Cai Quanwu thought for a moment and agreed.

"Okay, just cut it a little bit."

As soon as Cai Quanwu finished speaking, He Yuyu was dissatisfied with being ignored and protested: "I want to eat too, I want to eat pig ears."

Seeing He Yuyu's energetic look, Cai Quanwu felt particularly amused. He smiled and said to her, "Okay, let your brother do it for you."

"Yu Yu, let's go. Let's take out the chopsticks and wine glasses and wait for your brother. Uncle will get you something to drink."

Hearing that there was something delicious to drink, He Yuyu showed a smile on his face, and he and Cai Quanwu left the kitchen and returned to the main room.

After placing the chopsticks and wine glasses on the table, Cai Quanwu went to the room.

After a while, two cans were taken out from the room. One was filled with milk powder and the other was filled with sugar.

Put the two bottles on the table and tell He Yuyue.

"Rainyin, bring your enamel jar and a spoon."

He Yuyu looked at the two bottles for a long time, only recognizing one as candy and not the other. However, after hearing his uncle's words, he still quickly went to get it.

Without much effort, He Yuyu brought over the enamel jar and spoon.

Cai Quanwu signaled He Yuyu to put things on the table, then picked up the kettle and poured water into the enamel jar, filling most of the enamel jar with hot water.

After pouring the hot water, Cai Quanwu opened the bottle of sugar, used a spoon to get a spoonful of sugar, and put it into the enamel jar.

After it was done, he opened the bottle of milk powder, scooped out a few spoonfuls of milk powder with a spoon, put it into the water and stirred it, and a milky fragrance came out.

He Yuyu's eyes lit up when he smelled the fragrance, and then asked curiously: "Uncle, is this milk powder?"

Cai Quanwu smiled and nodded.

Seeing Cai Quanwu nodding, He Yuyu looked at the enamel jar even more eagerly. In her memory, this was the first time she drank milk powder.

Under He Yueyue's longing eyes, Cai Quanwu pushed the enamel jar to He Yuyu, and then gave instructions.

"Be careful, the water is still hot, don't burn yourself."

"I know, uncle." He Yuyu said happily.

He Yuyu got the enamel jar, scooped it up with a spoon, blew on it, and drank it in small sips. After drinking a spoonful, he said to Cai Quanwu: "Uncle, the milk powder is so fragrant and delicious."

Cai Quanwu heard He Yuyu's words, capped the lids of the two bottles, and said to He Yuyu: "Take the bottles back to the house, drink slowly, don't talk about it everywhere, you know?"

He Yuyu nodded excitedly, feeling happy in his heart, thinking that he should save the milk powder and drink it slowly.
