The two walked to the chopping board. Fang Nuo asked about the price of the remaining lean meat. It was a little cheaper than before. It cost 1 pound per pound. She asked for five pounds. She thought about cutting it into small pieces and freezing it in the snow. Serve it and you can cut it into stir-fry later.
"Uncle, what's the price of the pig's head, pig's trotters, and pig's guts?" Fang Nuo asked, pointing to the three items on the chopping board.
"These are very cheap. If you take them all, I'll give you ten yuan. I'll charge you for the pig's trotters and pig's head, and I'll give them to you when you get into the water," said the uncle who was sharing the meat.
When Fang Nuo heard that it was okay, he took out the money and handed it over and said, "Okay, uncle, please give it all to me, but I can't take it back alone. Do you think you can arrange for someone to deliver it to my door?"
"Xiao Nuo, you can't finish so much. Let's ask for less. Maybe it won't taste good. Isn't it a waste of money?" Aunt Dahua hurriedly stopped her.
"Auntie, just trust me. Besides, I will also process this one when I get it back, and I will also process the two pictures. It's better to process them all at once, stew them and freeze them, and then eat them later," Fang Nuo explained with a smile.
Seeing that she couldn't be persuaded, Aunt Dahua could only sigh on one side.
While the two were talking, the team accountant quickly took the money from her hand and put it into her bag, then said with a smile: "Okay, I'll have someone deliver it to you in a while. You go back and wait." Just do it”
"Okay, thank you, uncle," Fang Nuo said.
Then I went to line up with Aunt Dahua to share the bone soup. After dividing the soup, Fang Nuo returned home carrying the meat in the basket.
When I got home and put down my things, I first put Yaya down from her back, changed her diaper, washed her, and then steamed egg custard for her to eat.
Not long after she fed Yaya custard, someone brought over the two pig heads, several pig feet and pig guts she bought.
After thanking the person and sending them away, he moved everything into the kitchen, thinking that he would come over to deal with it after Yaya took a nap.
The meat he brought back was also mentioned to be put in the kitchen first, and would be collected and frozen later.
After going back to the house and playing with Yaya for a while, she started to feel sleepy. He took off her coat and hugged her into the quilt. After coaxing her to sleep, Fang Nuo got up and got off the kang and went out to the kitchen.
When she got to the kitchen, she was in the open space. She took out a brazier from the space and brought firewood to light it.
Then first set the pig's feet and pig's head on fire to make sure that all the visible pig hair on them is burned off.
After a while, the pig's head and pig's feet, which were still a little white, turned black. Then they were put aside, and another pot of hot water was boiled. They soaked for a while, and then used a knife to scrape off the charred surface.
After burning the pig's head and feet, she also discovered that there were two pig tails underneath. It seemed that they saw that they had rounded up these unwanted items and gave them to her. She also accepted them with a smile. These braised pig tails , that’s also delicious.
Burn the pig's tail as well, and pour hot water into a basin to soak it.
Boil the water in the pot over there, scoop it all into the basin, throw the pig's head and pig's feet in and soak them, add cold water to the pot and continue to boil. You have to wash these things carefully several times. Hot water is not allowed in this winter. Less.
After adding water to the boil, she took a kitchen knife, pulled up a small stool to sit on the edge of the basin, and started scraping.
For the first time, scrape off all the black film on it and throw it outside the basin so that the water can be cleaner and use it for the first wash later.
Scrape everything, clean it once, change the water, soak it for a while, and then scrape it again. After cleaning it, you need to burn the pig ear heart with an iron rod and blanch it inside.
There is also the inside of the pig's nose. After blanching, split the pig's head, take out the pig's brain and put it in a small bowl, and cook it separately later.
Then remove the pig's nose and ears from the pig's head, cut them open and clean them carefully.
The pig's trotters are also split in half to make stewing easier.
She looked at the eight pig's trotters and saved one for stewed kidney beans. The remaining ones were all prepared to be braised with the pig's head later.
She also removed the tongue from the pig's mouth, scalded it with boiling water, and tore off the top layer.
The pig's mouth is also cleaned with a brush. After everything is cleaned, put it all in the pot and blanch it.
Put some cooking wine, green onion slices, ginger slices, and Sichuan peppercorns into the pot to remove the fishy smell, then simmer until the foam is removed, and then simmer for half an hour.
While cooking these, Fang Nuo took out the pig offal and separated the various internal organs, such as the liver, lungs, and loin, and put them aside for a while and then washed them.
The large intestine, small intestine, and pork belly were all simply cleaned by the villagers after the pigs were killed.
Fang Nuo first tore off the excess fat on the intestines, then turned them over and rubbed them with plant ash for a few minutes.
Then wash it with water, and then repeat this process several times. Only after confirming that everything is clean, can it be considered washed and set aside to blanch for a while.
Then there is the pig lungs. This is done by filling the pig lungs with water first. After the pig lungs are inflated, you can prick them with a needle to see where the color is redder. Let the blood flow cleanly. Once the whole lung turns white, you can change the knife. Cut into large pieces and blanch them together with the other offal.
The pork liver was simply washed with water. She kept half of it and made it into pork liver powder later for Yaya to eat. The rest was cooked later.
The pig heart is first cut open, and then the dead blood in the blood vessels inside is cleaned, and then it is cooked. When eating, it is torn open and mixed with some coriander and seasonings to make a dish.
After cleaning these things, Yaya in the room woke up. Fang Nuo washed his hands and went to put on clothes for her. Then he made a bottle of milk powder for her to hold and eat. He carried the little girl to the kitchen and took out a shorter one. Little bed, let her play on it.
The pig's head in the pot over there was almost cooked, so she went to pick up everything, then threw the cleaned pig's offal into the water, and added some cooking wine to cook.
The pig head here has been cooked for half an hour, and some of the big bones can be picked off with a knife. Fang Nuo removed the bones in order to prevent them from sticking to the pot when stewing.
After a while, the two big pig heads turned into a small pile of meat. Fang Nuo cut it into large pieces so that it could be marinated and cooked for a while.
After finishing the pig's head, the water over there was almost boiled. She took it all out and set it aside to cool. Then she scooped out all the water in the pot, took it out and poured it out.
Then clean the pot and start to prepare the marinade package, which contains bay leaves, star anise, cinnamon, white cardamom, angelica, fennel, grass fruit, Sichuan peppercorns...etc.
Put all the marinated ingredients in gauze bags and put them aside for later use. Then start to heat the oil in a pan. When the oil is hot, add the rock sugar and start frying the sugar color.
When all the rock sugar in the pot melts and turns brown, you can add an appropriate amount of hot water, then add the various meats to be marinated, then add light soy sauce, a few pieces of yellow rock sugar, and the prepared marinade packets.
After everything is put inside, you can cover it, heat it up over high heat and wait for the marinade to boil, then change to low heat and simmer for an hour or so, and then soak it overnight.
