The weather now is just right for drying sausages and bacon, because the amount of sausages and bacon needed for the store is particularly large.

Moreover, the only season for drying sausages and bacon is during this period, so we need to dry enough for half a year during this period.

After thinking about it, I decided to just buy three pigs and dry them at home. The pig heads and pork belly can be used for drying, the ribs and pork legs can be used for smoking, and the ears and offal can be used for brine. The remaining meat can be combined with the fat to make sausages. Three pigs should be enough for half a year.

The two sisters went straight to the pork shop. Song Yunran asked, "Uncle, how much silver does a whole pig cost?"

The butcher who was looking at the pork bones carefully raised his head and saw that they were two little girls. He joked, "Little girls, let me tell you, do you have money to buy them?"

Song Yunxi: "Uncle, my family is in the food business. My mother asked me to ask you. If it's cheap, my family wants three whole pigs."

I thought the little girl was just asking for fun, but I didn't expect she really wanted it. I immediately smiled, which I thought was particularly charming.

"A pound of pork costs thirty-two cents. A pig weighing about four hundred pounds can yield about three hundred and forty pounds of meat. If you want a whole pig, I'll give you the offal and bones and only charge you for the pork. How about that?"

"Okay, uncle. I want three. Can you help me slaughter them and send them to my house?" Song Yunran agreed immediately after hearing that.

The butcher said: "Okay, leave me your address, I'll kill the fish and send it to you when I get back."

The two sisters left their address and continued shopping.

He bought 100 kilograms of rice, 60 kilograms of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and sugar, and also went to Grandpa Xu's pharmacy to buy a lot of bay leaves and star anise as seasonings.

No one here knows that these can be used for cooking. They only know that they are medicinal ingredients. This makes her unique secret recipe even more mysterious.

By noon, everything had been bought, and the family ate nearby and then returned to the village.

Just after arriving home, the pork seller brought over two large carts of meat, all of which had been cut and divided as Song Yunran had instructed.

When the pork seller delivered the meat, many people saw it, especially Shen, who had just come back from washing clothes by the river. Looking at the two carts of meat, her eyes sparkled and her saliva was about to flow onto the clothes she had just washed.

Looking at the pile of meat that looked like a small mountain, Song Yunran began to regret it. It seemed that she bought a few hundred million too much...

The Song family members were even more stunned. They opened their mouths, but in the end asked no questions and just cleaned up in silence.

Song Yunran laughed dryly: "Haha... that! These are all for the store opening in a few days, I just accidentally bought a little too much!"

After saying that, she secretly glanced at Song. She was really afraid that Song would beat her up, because there were too many...

Grandpa laughed cheerfully and said, "It's okay. The food my Yun Ran makes is so delicious. We can sell as much as we want. Grandpa is afraid that you won't buy enough and there won't be enough to sell!"

Song Yunqian, who was standing by, had never seen so much meat in her life. She stared at the pork mountain in confusion and asked, "Little sister, there is so much meat, what should we do with it?"

Song Yunran was a little confused for a moment. She had to think about how to deal with the meat.

"Well... Big sister, you and the second sister go to the village chief's house first to return the ox cart, take the jar of wine and the pound of meat to the village chief's aunt, and then give her another twenty cents as the rental fee for the three days."

Song Yunran turned around and asked Song who was staring at the meat in worry: "Mom, where can I find a big jar in the village? It would be best if it was as big as a water tank. I probably need three."

Song had seen Song Yunran at a loss for a long time and couldn't help but laugh. After all, the child had become different since he fell into the water, and now his dazed look was still the same as before.

"Your seventh aunt should have it. I'll go buy it now."

Before she could figure out how to divide the meat, Song and her Seventh Aunt came back with four large water vats on a cart.

Just then, my uncle and aunt came back. After they worked together to unload the water tank, Song Yunran thought of how to put the meat.

I immediately asked my grandfather to take a few people to the mountain to get some straw and build a thatched hut to store the meat. The smoked meat was smoked in the hut during the day, and the bacon was placed outside to dry.

At night all the meat was put into the hut so there was no need to worry about rats or people stealing it.

The people who were building the house stopped and went to help build the hut. After a whole afternoon of hard work, they finally finished the hut before dark. It really is true that there is strength in numbers.

Song Yunran took Song and her two sisters to pickle the meat. After delivering the water jars, Aunt Qi looked at so much meat and simply went home to call her daughter Xiyue to help.

Song Yunran asked them to brush the twelve pork legs and six ribs with wine and salt several times, then spread the freshly fried ingredients evenly on them and put them all into a large water vat to marinate.

The pig head and pork belly were all put into a large water vat, and marinated with wine, soy sauce and the dark soy sauce bought in the space before.

The remaining pig offal was the most difficult to clean. Song looked at the three pieces of pig offal and was a little hesitant, not knowing how to start because no one had ever eaten it.

Song Yunran knew that they didn't know how to wash, so she took the bamboo basket and filled it herself, then added two plates of wood ash, planning to go to the river to wash it slowly.

Song and her aunt were worried about her so they followed her. When they got to the river, Song held her breath and started to turn over the internal organs by herself, refusing to let Song Yunran do anything. Even her aunt came to help, and she just stood aside.

Fortunately, both of them were used to doing rough work, so they got used to it after a while. Following Song Yunran's method, they washed the pig offal with wood ash very cleanly and quickly. The most important thing was that the pig offal no longer smelled bad.

After washing it clean, Song Yunran went back to prepare the braising liquid. When the big pot of braising liquid boiled, the fragrance made everyone present dizzy. They all stood aside and stared at the big pot filled with the fragrance.

Dinner was rice with braised pork offal. After finishing their work, Aunt Seven and her daughter were about to leave. No matter how hard Song tried to persuade them, they couldn't. After the pork offal was cooked, Song Yunran asked her second sister to bring a bowl of it to the village chief and Aunt Seven.

This huge pot of meat was really filling! The workers went home burping, and the smell of meat on their bodies made their families so greedy that they even wanted to hug their clothes and smell the meat before going to sleep.

At night, all the meat was put into the newly built hut, but my uncle was still worried that the meat would be stolen when he saw so much of it. Fortunately, the hut was connected to the hut where my grandfather and my uncle usually slept, otherwise my uncle would have wanted to sleep directly in the hut for the safety of the meat.

In the middle of the night, Song Yunran planned to try to enter the space, but before he tried, he heard rustling sounds from next door.

Then came the sound of the door of the hut opening. At first I thought that my uncle and his friends were going to the toilet, but unexpectedly I heard Old Lady Bai's voice, and all my sleepiness disappeared immediately.
