??Chapter 96 Killing a pig and preparing a banquet
??The matter of the Chen brothers caused a huge wave in the village, and every household was talking about it.
??The big guys got together and scolded Chen Deyong and his brothers, and even Chen Yongfu and others.
??The Xu family also had to discuss a few words in private, but the Xu family was busy and didn't have much time to talk about it.
??Xu Shide got married on the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month. On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Xu family slaughtered pigs.
??How much food is willing to feed pigs these days? They are all fed with hog grass, at most, in autumn, some bean pod skins, bean pods and so on are mixed.
??So don't look at it after a year of raising it, in fact it has just reached 200 catties.
??The Xu family raised two pigs, sold one to a supply and marketing cooperative, and killed the other for weddings and Chinese New Year.
??Woke up early on the 25th, brothers Xu Shian and Xu Shiyan entered the pigsty, **** a fat pig and tied it to a bench.
?? Several people held down the pig. Xu Shian held the butcher's knife in his hand, and stabbed it from the knife socket under the pig's neck to the heart.
??The white knife goes in and the red knife comes out. When the knife is drawn, a stream of blood spurts out.
??There is someone holding a basin to collect pig blood.
?? Wait until all the blood is collected and put it aside.
??Zhou Guilan found a sorghum stalk, split it from the middle, folded it into three sections backwards, and kept stirring the sorghum stalk in the pig's blood basin so that it could not solidify.
??In the courtyard of Xu’s house, a large pot was set up, filled with boiling water.
??After the pig is bled, pour boiling water on it, and then shave. The pig hair was shaved, and the belly was dismantled to take out the internal organs.
??The offloaded pigs are all good things. Xue Xiulin's sister-in-law took the offloads away and began to clean them over and over again.
??Especially the pig intestines, they have to be turned over, rubbed with plant ash first, and then washed with soda, salt, and vinegar several times until the smell is gone.
??Clean the internal organs, put them directly into the pot to blanch, cook the blood foam, then boil on high heat, add seasoning and simmer slowly.
??The person in charge of watching the pot opened the pot to take a look from time to time, and inserted the pork liver with chopsticks. Seeing that the heat was almost ready, he immediately scooped it out with a strainer.
??Tie one end of the pig’s small intestine tightly with a thin thread, cut some minced fat meat, green onion, salt, pepper noodles and other things into the blended pig blood to season and remove the fishy smell, and then pour it into the small intestine with a funnel.
??When the blood is full, tie the other end tightly with a thin thread, and then put it in a pot to boil.
??While cooking, **** a needle from time to time to deflate.
??When the needle goes in and the blood color is gone when it is pulled out, immediately remove the blood sausage.
??The finished blood sausage is kept and stewed with sauerkraut. It is the authentic Northeast pig-killing dish, sauerkraut white meat blood sausage.
??This year, when we get married and hold banquets, chefs are rarely invited.
??The main family sets the menu according to their own conditions, and the daughters-in-law of the helpers prepare the dishes according to the menu.
??Most of the dishes are semi-finished products prepared one day in advance. On the day of the wedding, you only need to heat it up and thicken it with sauce.
??The Xu family killed a pig alone for the banquet, and there was so much meat made by Xu Shiyan and others before, so there is no need to worry about hosting a banquet.
??Zhou Guilan asked the fifth child to draw up the menu, and decided with the daughters-in-law who came to help.
??So although Xu's yard is very busy, it is busy but not chaotic and orderly.
??Xu Shi'an and others chopped and deboned the pork according to the requirements of the banquet, and then prepared the pork that should be cooked, chopped, and fried.
?? "Oh, the fourth daughter-in-law is still lucky, look at how much food is given when people get married and hold banquets?
??Our mother-in-law ordered the menu yesterday, and there are even braised meat and Sixi meatballs.
??My God, when we got married, we didn't get this kind of treatment.
??Yingzi, I remember when you got married was the worst, there was no meat, you got canned mutton, right? "
??The Xu family is so busy, of course Su Anying has to come over to help. She has a big belly and can't do anything else, just chopping onions and garlic.
?? As a result, Xue Xiulin and Wei Mingrong came over after a short time of leisure, Nian Yanger in front of Su Anying.
??Because of the previous quarrel in the Wu family, both Xue Xiulin and Wei Mingrong were very dissatisfied with Wu Qiuyan who was about to get married.
?? Seeing her husband's family organize banquets like this again, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law are even more unhappy.
??The two of them came to look for Su Anying, just to provoke Su Anying's dissatisfaction, and when the time came, the three sisters-in-law would run on the new daughter-in-law together.
?? "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, the time is different, and the wedding banquet is naturally different.
??I got married in the summer, and our pigs haven't been raised yet, so how could I be willing to kill them?
?? Isn't this just in time for the year? Those who even hold a banquet to bring the New Year, of course, have to kill pigs. "
??Su Anying has a good temper, and she doesn't have that much thoughtfulness, so she doesn't take what the two sister-in-laws said to her heart.
??Whether or not to hold a banquet for the wedding, and what kind of banquet to hold, are all decided by the in-laws.
??If the conditions are good, we will do better, and if the conditions are poor, everyone can understand it. There is nothing to choose.
??Su Anying was not good when she got married. In summer, she couldn't keep anything, and there was nowhere to buy meat.
??Zhou Guilan took a lot of effort, went to Tonghua and Hunjiang several times, and then asked someone to buy the canned food.
?? Besides, at that time, there were fine scale fish at the banquet, and they were all caught by Xu Shiyan.
??Each table has a large and thin scale that weighs three catties. Who would not say that the noodles are hard enough?
??So it's not bad, it's just not as lively as it is now.
??Su Anying is a big-hearted person, and never cares about these things. As long as Xu Shiyan treats her well, the young couple will live with Meimei, so why compare them?
??If life at home is always compared like this, is there still a time to stop?
??Su Anying grew up in a different environment, which also cultivated her character of being generous and forbearing, not fighting or grabbing.
??So she really doesn't care about these things.
?? "Besides, the fourth child is a teacher, the only one in our family who has a formal job.
??He got married, so it should be easier for him to handle it. Can't make people laugh. "
??Su Anying wasn't angry at all, but was always thinking of her husband's family.
??When Xue Xiuling and Wei Mingrong heard this, their noses almost turned out of breath.
?? "Let's go, let's stop talking to her, this is a fool, you are talking to her for nothing.
?? That's it, when the third child sells her one day, she will have to help count the money. "
??Xue Xiulin dragged Wei Mingrong up and left angrily, muttering as she walked.
??Su Anying is not deaf, how can she not hear what the two sister-in-laws are saying? Immediately smiled and shook his head, and continued to lower his head to chop the onions.
??In the courtyard of Xu's house, it was still bustling with activity, and there were several cauldrons inside and outside the house that were steaming.
??The aroma of the stew filled the small courtyard, and all the people in it were smiling.
??There is a saying that it is better to marry a daughter-in-law than to be poor and to be rich.
??No matter what year, no matter what dynasty or generation, getting married and marrying a daughter-in-law is a big event and something to be happy about.
?? Xu's family has a happy event, and relatives and friends from far away have to come early.
??In the afternoon, Zhou Guilan's natal brother, sister-in-law, and Su Weizhong came over together.
??Zhou Guilan hasn't seen her natal family for a long time, so the meeting is naturally very affectionate.
??Not to mention Su Anying, she was full of joy when she saw her father coming.
