NOVEL NEXT Chapter 82 Making Sausages and Roasting Whole Lamb 2
Although he had already eaten breakfast, Mao Xi couldn't resist the roast lamb at all.
The village uncles at the same table each grabbed a mutton chop and ate the meat while drinking from a large bowl.
"Yeah! It smells so good. Do you want to drink, girl?" Niu Erfeng asked Shui Xi.
"Brother Niu, I'll drink with you!" Mu Zhiyuan drank a whole bowl of wine in one gulp.
"Sister Sanhua, does this roasted whole lamb have to be roasted over this charcoal fire to be delicious?"
"That's a must, and you have to keep turning it, otherwise it will burn easily. It will take at least two hours to be fully cooked."
"You're using lamb, right?"
"Yes, the meat is relatively tender for a lamb of about ten pounds."
Mao Xi remembered that Lou Laner had built a kiln beside the stove in Liujia Village, which could also be used to roast whole sheep. Then I thought that when the Chinese New Year was about to come, I would come to Liujia Village to buy a lamb and then roast the whole lamb and eat it together with the whole family.
Mao Xi bought some mutton from Niu Sanhua for the shop to sell mutton hotpot.
Before leaving, Niu Sanhua gave Mao Xi another piece of blood sausage: "When there are pig meat dishes available next year, remember to come back for dinner!"
When she and Mu Zhiyuan drove the donkey cart to the entrance of the village, an aunt passed by the cart chasing two lost lambs. The donkey was frightened and screamed, "Uh-huh! Uh-huh!"
Mu Zhiyuan stepped forward to help Aunt Niu take back the lamb.
Aunt Niu thanked her and said, "Young man, please wait a moment before you leave."
She went home, tied up the lamb, and took a sausage to give to Mao Xi.
Although Mu Zhiyuan was not drunk, as soon as he got on the donkey cart, he fell asleep in the cart after a few bumps!
Mao Xi drove the donkey cart and returned Liuxiang snacks before noon. Chen made lunch and was waiting for the two of them to eat.
Mao Xi said that he and Mu Zhiyuan had had lunch and let everyone eat first. Then he took out the sausages given by Aunt Niu, sliced them and steamed them in a pot, and put them on plates for everyone to review.
"What do you think of the taste of this sausage?"
Xiaodouzi took a bite and felt that the taste was similar to the one bought by Niu Sanhua, but it was a little sweeter.
Mao Xi could smell it on the road. It was the sweet aroma of the Cantonese sausage she had eaten before.
Luda usually loved meat. He took a bite and said that it still smelled like wine.
After preparing ingredients in the kitchen, Mao Xi took advantage of everyone's break to eat and took some jasmine rice brought back from Nanzhou from the space to fill the rice jar. Then he ordered Xiaoqing, the assistant cook, to use new sausages and fragrant rice to make claypot rice today.
Mu Zhiyuan returned to Jiafu and brought the parrot "Doudou" to the store to play with Ajiao.
"Doudou~Doudou~" the parrot called his name and became familiar with Ajiao.
Seeing that her daughter had bought some casings, Mrs. Chen planned to go back to the village with Mao Xi to make sausages.
"Auntie, I can make sausages by myself. You just stay in the shop. I have to go to the market to buy some pork first."
Mrs. Chen was not worried about her daughter not having enough staff, but she was worried about the stepmother Ke Shi. Every time she saw someone at home, she would come up and yell at her.
"Amu, please accompany Ah Miao back to the village. It's good for the two of us to work together so we can take care of each other."
"Auntie, I'm just going home, there won't be any danger!" Shui Xi thought that Chen was worried about her safety.
Mu Zhiyuan walked to the donkey cart and said to Shu Xi, "Let's go, Shu. I'll accompany you to buy pork first."
The price of pork has dropped. Pork leg meat in the market is much cheaper than in the virtual mall. Mao Xi bought a total of twenty kilograms of hind leg meat.
When they got home, they started cutting the pork. The two of them divided the labor, with Mao Xi cutting the lean meat and Mu Zhiyuan cutting the fat meat.
Cut the fat meat into pea-sized pieces, cut the lean meat into thin slices, pour the sugar into the fat meat dices, mix well and marinate. The finished product will be translucent.
Add salt, sugar, light soy sauce, white wine and red yeast rice flour to the lean meat, mix well and refrigerate for half an hour.
Then start processing the casings: wash them and soak them in water and white wine for two quarters of an hour. After soaking, rinse the casings twice with water.
Mix the marinated fat and lean meat evenly, with a fat-to-lean ratio of 2:8, and prepare to stuff the sausage.
Mu Zhiyuan grabbed the casing and funnel, knotted the end of the casing, and Mao Xi stuffed the pork stuffing into the funnel. After the enema was completely packed tightly, he divided it into sections with cotton thread and put them in warm water.
Mu Zhiyuan helped hang the sausages in the courtyard to dry in the sun.
Let it dry for three days first and then dry it for four days.
The yard was filled with the sweet aroma of wine. Mao Xi looked at the sausages all over the yard and felt very accomplished.
The three dogs barked at the sausage.
"The sausage is too sweet, you can't eat it!" After saying that, he cooked some food for them.
The sound of hindmilk came from far outside the courtyard. From the slope, she saw Mao Xi and Mu Zhiyuan drying sausages in the courtyard.
"My granddaughter is so awesome. She hangs out with a man all day long, alone and alone. It's not appropriate!"
Mu Zhiyuan wanted to go out and scold the old woman, but Mao Xi stopped her.
"Brother Mu, don't pay attention to her. She just wants to have fun with her mouth and won't scold her later!"
"Ah Shao, has your hindmilk been like this lately?"
Mao Xi sighed. Her father and eldest brother were both not at home. It was like this in the countryside. Without an older man in the family, it was easy for someone to bully her.
Fortunately, Mrs. Shen, the neighbor, is sensible and usually takes good care of Ma Xi's family. She also knows that Mrs. Ke is an unreasonable old woman who talks nonsense and sometimes scolds Mr. Chen back.
"Whenever she comes back from the vegetable field and passes by my house, she always curses a few words. She is used to it."
Mu Zhiyuan looked at Ke. She and Gao were walking on the slope in front of the door with a basket of vegetables.
"Ah Shu, why don't you move to Lihua Town and rent a house to live in, and come back occasionally to avoid being upset when seeing them."
Mao Xi also considered it, but if everyone lived in the town, no one would take care of the few acres of land at home.
"I still won't go to town. I don't know when dad will come home."
It was still early, so Mao Xi went to the fields again and watered the vegetables.
Brother Chun Sheng, who was passing by, was holding a handful of broad beans and was called to by Ma Xi.
"Brother Chunsheng, are these the broad beans you planted?"
"Yes, I have planted a lot of them. Do you want to go pick some from my field? I can't finish them all."
Mao Xi came to Chunsheng's house. In addition to rice, sweet potatoes, and peanuts, it was also full of broad beans.
"Brother Chunsheng, you and I will buy some broad beans. We will use them for cooking in the store later. Remember to leave some for me!"
"Ah Shu, these broad beans are very ordinary. How can we make delicious dishes?"
Mao Xi smiled mysteriously and said, "That's a lot! You'll know when it's done."
Lihua Town, inside Liuxiang Snacks.
Lou Lan'er was wondering about the blood sausage left by Ma Xi, wondering whether it should be cooked or made into skewers and grilled.
Luda: “I think this is just sliced and fried to eat!”
Lou Lan'er: "No, this one tastes better when grilled!"
Zhang Xiucai: "I think this is delicious when cooked with sauerkraut and rice noodles!"
While the three of them were arguing, Mao Xi returned to the store.
"Brother Lu Da, Sister Lan'er, and Zhang Xiucai, the methods of making blood sausage you mentioned are all delicious, but this intestine is only one. How about I cut it into three parts and you each make a dish to try?"
It happened to be dinner time, and the three of them divided their labors to cook dinner for everyone.
Xiaoqing and Chen steamed the rice and simply fried two vegetables.
Luda coated the blood sausage with kebab sauce and fried a whole plate; Lou Laner wrapped it in batter and egg liquid, baked it in the kiln and sliced the blood sausage; finally, Zhang Xiucai made a big batch Bowl of blood sausage rice noodle soup.
In the end, it was Zhang Xiucai’s blood sausage rice noodle soup that was finished first and received the final praise!
