"Yeah, I didn't expect Xiao Nuo to have such skills. This braised pork has a bit of pig smell, and the heat is well controlled. The meat is soft and chewy." The captain said what he could say I have said all the words to praise the food, but the bottom line is that it is delicious.
"Yeah, it's really delicious. I didn't expect that she could really make this pig-headed man so delicious. When she bought it yesterday, I was thinking, this girl is going to waste so much money." Aunt Dahua said after eating said
"This is actually pig head meat. Why didn't I eat any of the dregs? I think Xiao Nuo really knows how to handle it. Why don't you go to her this afternoon to learn how to take the pig head and pig feet I brought back this morning? Let’s take care of everything and let it go,” the captain said, looking at his wife.
"Wouldn't this be too troublesome?" Aunt Dahua asked.
"You bring two pig's trotters with you when you arrive. This is the only time we'll bother you," the captain said.
He didn't want to trouble Fang Nuo, but the food came first. He had already eaten the braised pork that Fang Nuo had cooked. If he was asked to eat the pork head meat that his wife had stewed in previous years, which was full of pig smell, he would not be able to eat it. .
"Okay, eat quickly, or your son will finish it all," Aunt Dahua said, then picked up the chopsticks and picked up a large piece of braised pork.
On the other side, Wang Junyu didn't stop for a moment when his parents were talking.
He wants to eat more of this delicious food.
When the captain looked at his son who was putting vegetables into his bowl, he wanted to pick up his pipe and hit him a few times, yelling "unfilial son".
But seeing that both of them were eating faster, he didn't want to waste any more time, so he picked up his chopsticks and joined in.
After the meal, none of the food Fang Nuo brought was left, but there was still some pickled cabbage vermicelli stewed by Aunt Dahua. The most leftover was the bone soup that the captain brought back from another village this morning.
After lunch, the team leader packed up and went out again, preparing to go to other villages that had not yet killed pigs to organize people to kill pigs and divide the meat.
Wang Junyu also went out, and he could get some meat by helping out.
Aunt Dahua tidied up the house and went out carrying two pig feet in a basket.
When she arrived at Fang Nuo's house, little Yaya had just fallen asleep.
"Is Xiao Nuo at home?" Aunt Dahua shouted outside the courtyard gate.
Fang Nuo stood up, put on his coat and walked out of the house before replying: "Who is at home?"
"Yes, your big flower aunt" Dahua aunt replied
When Fang Nuo heard this, he quickly walked over and opened the courtyard door. Seeing Aunt Dahua, he hurriedly welcomed people into the courtyard and asked, "Auntie, why are you here at this time?"
"Hey, let's go into the house and talk." Aunt Dahua felt that Xiao Nuo's braised pork was a craft job. If she didn't wear it out, she was afraid that someone would come to her and ask for it.
After entering the house, Aunt Dahua said: "Isn't this the braised pork you sent this morning? It's so delicious. Both of your uncles like it very much. Thinking that they also have pig head meat at home, they asked me to come over and treat you. Please teach me how to treat the meat so that it doesn’t taste bad. I’d also like to ask, can you give me some braised meat juice? I’ll go back and add some water to braise the pork head meat at home.”
After she finished speaking, she was still a little embarrassed. Not to mention that she was taking advantage of others for nothing, but she still came to ask for advice with a shameless face.
Fang Nuo thought it was nothing. In her time, there were a lot of braised pork recipes online.
Seeing that Aunt Dahua really wanted to learn, she smiled and said, "What's the trouble? Auntie, just wait, I'll carry Yaya on her back, we'll pack the marinade, and then we'll go to your house."
Aunt Dahua didn't expect that Xiao Nuo was not at all defensive about her, and thought about treating her like her own daughter in the future.
"Okay, keep these two pig's feet and stew them later," Aunt Dahua said, passing the basket.
"No, aunt, you can take it home and eat it at home. I still have the pig's trotters that I stewed earlier," Fang Nuo refused.
"It's useful, please accept it quickly, otherwise I will be embarrassed to ask you to help" Aunt Dahua said
"Then Auntie still has to take it back. Let's take care of it together. I'll take it back then," Fang Nuo said.
"Okay, then you wrap up Yaya and I'll carry it," Aunt Dahua said
Fang Nuo didn't refuse, he took out a thick quilt, wrapped Yaya well, and put it on Aunt Dahua's back.
Then she went to the kitchen, put a large piece of oil paper on the basket, and used a knife to cut the brine that was already in a jelly state and put it in the basket.
The one who soaked the water also brought some to Aunt Dahua, thinking that she was afraid that there would be water in her house and she would have to make another trip.
After packing everything, Aunt Dahua carried the basket she had brought, and Fang Nuo carried another basket. Then the two of them went out and headed to Aunt Dahua's house.
When we arrived at Aunt Dahua's house, Aunt Dahua asked, "Xiao Nuo, can you let Yaya sleep on my kang?"
"It's okay, Auntie. I'll just listen. She won't be able to sleep for long, so it's time to wake up," Fang Nuo said.
"Okay, then you go inside and sit for a while. I'll put Yaya down and you can teach me how to deal with the pig's head." Aunt Dahua said and took her into her house.
She and Fang Nuo were the only ones at home now, so there was nothing to avoid.
After putting Yaya to sleep on the kang, Fang Nuo covered her with a small quilt and a long hijab. When the little one smelled a familiar smell, she just turned over and continued to sleep.
Then the two went to the kitchen of Aunt Dahua's house. Looking at the ground, Fang Nuo asked: "Aunt, do you have a separate brazier for burning firewood? The pig's trotters and heads need to be burned over the fire to remove all the pig hair on the skin. Burn it clean”
"Yes, those things are only used after the Chinese New Year when guests come to my house. They are usually put away. Just wait, I will find the things." Aunt Dahua said and left the kitchen and went to the next room. In the room, he came over soon carrying a Western-shaped wooden shelf and a broken iron pot.
When you enter the kitchen and put it on the open floor, there is a brazier that you can step on.
He took the wood frame and lit the fire with corn husks underneath. It burned after a while. Fang Nuo took a pig's foot and clamped it with something and burned it on the fire.
"Auntie, just burn the thing on top like this. Once you get a layer of blackness, turn it over. Make sure you burn everything that can be seen," Fang Nuo said while burning.
"It turns out the fire must be so dark. I used to burn it in the stove. I couldn't see the pig hair so I washed it and put it in the pot," said Aunt Dahua.
"This thing is very troublesome to deal with. After you cook the pig's feet, go and boil a pot of water in your big cooking pot and wash them later," Fang Nuo said.
Aunt Dahua didn't think it was troublesome and a waste of firewood and water.
After all, she had already eaten what Fang Nuo handled like this.
If this thing could be made delicious, she felt it was appropriate to waste some food and go to some trouble.
This is the temptation of delicious food, so Aunt Dahua now does whatever Fang Nuo tells her to do.
