Chapter 8 Preparing New Year’s Goods

The next day, Jiang Rong went to help slaughter the pig just after breakfast.

Jiang Yun tried to persuade him but he didn't go to see her. She was a little angry and planned to ignore Jiang Rong today.

Before noon, Jiang Rong brought back a section of pig intestines, 30 kilograms of pork, mostly fat, 10 kilograms of ribs, and a pig ear.

When Jiang Yun saw the meat, she had already put aside her anger and started to process the meat.

Jiang Rong didn't let him take the knife, so he went to prepare the ingredients, running around, busy and having a lot of fun.

First, chop a rib into pieces, blanch it and wash it.

Heat the pan with cold oil, add some brown sugar to make sugar color. Stir-fry various seasonings, pour in the ribs, add some white wine to remove the fishy smell, a large ladle of water, and add some firewood, and let it burn.

In the kitchen, Jiang Rong washed vegetables, chopped meat, cut vegetables, and cooked.

Jiang Yun was responsible for pounding the seasonings that would be used to stuff the sausages into fine powder.

He would show it to Jiang Rong from time to time and taste the saltiness of the dishes.

After the meat is cut, add seasoning, mix well, and marinate. It is troublesome without disposable gloves, and the seasoning and oil are all over your hands.

After stewing the ribs for a while, put the pig ears in and continue stewing.

When the meat is fully cooked and mushy, serve it out. Add some boiled eggs, dried tofu, lotus root slices, and green vegetables to the soup to enhance the flavor, simmer for a few minutes, and serve.

The two of them ate first, a bowl of rice, with braised vegetables and meat, and a little marinade, it was delicious. I felt like I could have three bowls in one breath.

After finishing the meal, I started to prepare sausage stuffing. First, clean the small intestine inside and out to remove excess fat.

A funnel was made using a small bamboo tube and connected to the casing.

I started stuffing the meat with chopsticks, but it took a lot of time without the right tools.

When the filling was finished, Jiang Yun felt that her hands were stiff.

I found some straw, soaked it and washed it, tied the sausages into knots, poked them with bamboo sticks to allow air to escape, and hung them under the eaves.

After heating up their lunch, they both went back to their rooms and fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, Jiang Rong cut a large bowl of shredded radish, which he had reserved for making sausages. After blanching them in water and squeezing out the moisture, he only had half a bowl left.

Add some flour, beat two eggs, and mix them together with the minced meat.

I borrowed a small pot from my neighbor and started frying meatballs. The radish meatballs were fragrant and crispy. I fried a whole pot and gave some to the neighbor who borrowed the pot.

Then one of them carried a bamboo basket and prepared to go up the mountain to cut some cypress branches and leaves.

Jiang Yun was somewhat happy to be able to go up the mountain. She wondered if she could hunt some wild game, such as pheasants or wild rabbits. They would surely be delicious if roasted.

Ideals are full of hope, but reality is very skinny. The pheasants and hares ran so fast that it was impossible to catch up with them.

Finally, I cut some cypress branches and picked some hickory nuts and wild chestnuts, so the harvest was pretty good.

"Can you carry it?" Jiang Rong was a little worried, and pulled the bottom of Jiang Yun's backpack up with his hands.

"It's okay. I've gained some strength recently. I'm just a little hungry." He said this while touching his belly.

"Here, have some apricots." Jiang Rong took out a small paper bag from his pocket, pinched one and fed it to Jiang Yun, then picked a small one for himself and ate one as well.

"Hmm, sour and sweet, really delicious. Another one, ah"

Jiang Yun smacked his lips a few times and opened his mouth again. Jiang Rong smiled and fed him another bite.

Then he said, "We'll be home soon. Eat a few bites first and I'll make noodles for you when I get home."

"Okay, let's go and have dinner." Jiang Yun quickened her pace because she was really hungry.

Finally I got home. As soon as I entered the yard, I quickly threw the bamboo basket on the ground. My shoulders were hurt by it.

The two of them rested for a while, drank some water, and Jiang Rong started to work again.

First, boil water, then start kneading the dough and rolling out the noodles.

Noodles, eggs and vegetables are another satisfying meal.

After dinner, they lit up the cypress branches and leaves and started to smoke sausages.

While they were smoking sausages, they also shelled the picked pecans and wild chestnuts and started frying them in a big pot.

Jiang Yun sat on a small stool and added firewood from time to time. He had been promoted to a cook.

Sugar is scarce and expensive these days, so after the walnuts have cooled, I boiled the only 2 kilograms of brown sugar in the house and added a small cup of honey to make amber walnuts.

After taking a bite, I found it sweet and delicious. I couldn't help but eat three pieces in a row. Jiang Rong stopped me from eating any more. "Eat three pieces a day from now on. No more."

No matter what Jiang Yun said, Jiang Rong was ruthless and simply locked the things up.

Life is not easy, Yunyun sighed.

This is not Jiang Rong’s fault. After successfully losing weight, Jiang Yun became a little picky about food. I don’t know if it’s a sequelae, but nothing tastes good to her anymore.

Eat a few bites of delicious food, and don’t touch the unpalatable food at all.

If you ignore it, your body will be damaged.

A few days later, Aunt Li knocked on the door again.

It turned out that Jiang Rong took their old shoes and gave them to Aunt Li, and made a pair of snow boots according to the picture of snow boots.

Both of them bought wear-resistant cloth for the uppers and filled them with a lot of cotton.

The upper is higher than ordinary cotton shoes, covering the ankles, but lower than boots, requires less material and is easy to make.

I put on the shoes and walked a few rounds. They fit perfectly and were warm.

After paying Aunt Li their wages, everyone made another pair in the same way.
