Chapter 104 Sausage Stuffing
Chapter 104 Sausage Stuffing
Old Mrs. Lin went out with a sullen face.
Zhou Mei looked at her mother and shed tears silently.
"Mom, why is it another girl?"
"Meizi, you are still young, why are you so worried? The next baby will definitely be a boy. You can't cry after giving birth, or you will suffer from a disease later."
Zhou Mei didn't listen at all.
All she could think about was Lin Dahe's gloomy face and her mother-in-law's face that instantly darkened when she heard that the baby wasn't a boy. She immediately covered her face and sobbed softly, "Mom... why is it just a girl!"
"The girl is yours too, and you are still a girl yourself!"
Zhou Meiniang held the little baby in her arms with a loving face.
It’s obvious that this baby is born beautifully. She will be the Zhou family’s granddaughter in the future.
My son, this baby will be adopted by you from now on. If you are still alive in heaven, please bless your daughter and help her grow up safely.
Old Mrs. Lin walked outside and cursed in a low voice: "You are a money-loser who can't give birth to a boy, and you gave birth to a girl again."
When he heard it was a girl, Old Man Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.
Hello, my daughter!
Fortunately, it’s a girl, so the grandson of the Lin family doesn’t have to have the surname Zhou!
However, the old woman and Dahao looked unhappy, so he pretended to be angry and agreed with them.
Lin Dajiang and his family rushed here after selling breakfast, and found that the atmosphere was not right as soon as they entered the door.
"Father, mother, and third brother."
Lin Dajiang saw his daughter-in-law boiling water in the kitchen and immediately went up to help.
He felt uncomfortable. Why didn't his third brother, as a father, know how to boil water and asked his wife to do it?
"Did you give birth to a girl?" Lin Dajiang asked Li Taohua in a low voice.
Li Taohua nodded and whispered, "Just now I saw that mother and third brother had long faces. Mother must regret bringing so many things. But those things were obtained by taking advantage of others. Mother is not ashamed to show them out."
Lin Dajiang had already come to terms with it. His mother was just like that. "Let's go after we boil the water. Xiaoman bought a lot of meat and said she wanted to make some carrot balls and some sausages. I think it will take quite some time just to wash the intestines. Xiaoman said she wanted to make a lot of food, and we will have a good meal together on New Year's Eve in a few days."
Li Taohua smiled gently, "Xiaoman, wouldn't Jingzhe be overjoyed if he said that?"
"Yes, Jingzhe immediately lowered himself and followed Xiaoman."
The two of them talked and laughed, boiled some water, and then said goodbye to Lin Dahe.
"Taohua, your sister-in-law just gave birth, you should stay and help." Old Lady Lin said shamelessly.
Li Taohua was about to speak when Lin Dajiang stopped her. He gave Li Taohua a reassuring look.
He smiled and said, "Mom, who needs a sister-in-law to take care of a baby after giving birth? Aren't you making a fool of your third brother?"
"If this gets out, Third Brother will be criticized by others in the future. I think if you are worried, you can stay here and give him a hand. I see that Da He has lost a lot of weight recently, so it's a good opportunity to give him some supplements."
Lin Dahe didn't dare let me stay.
With my mother's hot-tempered temper, things would be a mess if she stayed.
"Mom, what can happen to my mother-in-law? You and your elder brother and sister-in-law should go back!"
"Old lady, let's go."
Old Mrs. Lin insisted on staying despite Old Man Lin's attempts to stop her.
"Hasn't you seen that Dahe has lost weight? I just happened to have some eggs and brown sugar. I'll go and make some for Zhou Mei and Dahe."
As she was about to go to the delivery room, Lin Dahe grabbed her and said in a bad tone, "Mom, go back quickly! She's just a little girl, what can she eat?"
-
On the way back, Mrs. Lin felt more and more uncomfortable.
Why does the third brother talk to her like that?
After much thought, it must be that Zhou Mei was unhappy because she gave birth to a daughter.
The first children of the eldest and second wives were both boys, and the eldest wife's first child were twins, a boy and a girl.
Later, they each had a boy. Wouldn’t the third brother be envious to death?
Zhou Mei was also a disappointing person. She gave birth to two sons in one go, a daughter in between, and finally a boy.
The more Mrs. Lin thought about it, the angrier she became, and she couldn't stop cursing.
Lin Dajiang and his family kept their heads down and tried their best to avoid bad luck. After returning to the village, they hurried to the end of the village.
Lin Xiaoman was glad that her grandmother was so angry with her uncle that she was busy cursing him, otherwise, with so much meat loaded in her donkey cart, her grandmother would definitely go in to take a look.
You can definitely take half of it away with just one look.
In order to make sausages, Lin Xiaoman had already asked Lin Jingzhe to make a simple bamboo tube sausage stuffer.
I chose two thin pieces of bamboo, hollowed out the middle, and rubbed them repeatedly with sandpaper.
The outside of the bamboo was also smoothed with tools, and a wooden pillar slightly smaller than the hollow inside of the bamboo was made to squeeze the meat when stuffing sausages.
When Lin Jingzhe was asked to be the sausage stuffing tool, he guessed what delicious food his younger sister was going to make.
Now when he heard Xiaoman was going to use pig intestines to make sausages, he immediately ran ten feet away.
"Xiao Man, why don't you do something else? Why make something with pig intestines?"
Lin Xiaoman was too lazy to explain, he just wanted to see Lin Jingzhe slap his face after the sausages were made.
She first removed the grease on the outside of the small intestine, cleaned it repeatedly, and then turned the small intestine over to clean it.
Add flour and rub it, wash it twice, and then rub it with salt several times until the water becomes clear.
Then he took the trouble to turn the small intestine back.
This time, Lin Xiaoman bought 20 kilograms of pork front legs to make sausages, and planned to make two flavors.
One is spicy and the other is sweet, depending on which one your family likes.
After cleaning the pig intestines, Lin Xiaoman didn't dare to smell her own hands.
Then use the back of the knife to continuously scrape the surface of the small intestine to scrape off the outer coating of the intestine.
This was not enough, Lin Xiaoman continued to scrape with the back of the knife until the small intestine became transparent.
Then wash the small intestine with clean water and soak it in white wine.
While Lin Xiaoman was processing the small intestine, Li Taohua and Lin Dajiang cut 20 kilograms of meat into long strips, washed them, and hung them on bamboo poles to drain the water.
Lin Xiaoman smiled and said to Lin Jingzhe: "Brother, you don't touch the small intestine, but you can touch the meat, right?"
Lin Jingzhe nodded: "Meat is fine, just don't let me touch the intestines."
Under Lin Xiaoman's command, Lin Jingzhe cut the fat into small cubes and the lean meat into long and thin strips.
Li Taohua didn't know what Xiaoman was going to do, so she took a kitchen knife to help cut the meat.
It took them more than half an hour to cut the twenty kilograms of pork.
Afterwards, Lin Xiaoman took two basins, put the cut meat into the basins, and added different seasonings respectively.
The last two steps are the same, add high-proof liquor and start stirring.
The stirring job was given to the strong Li Taohua and Lin Jingzhe. After stirring for about a quarter of an hour, Lin Xiaoman called a halt, "Mom, brother, it's almost done. You guys take a break. Stuffing the meat into the intestines later is also a strenuous job."
When Lin Jingzhe heard Xiaoman was going to stuff the meat into his intestines, he immediately frowned, "Xiaoman, are you going to waste the meat by doing this?"
In the old house, he ate small intestines cooked with milk. After washing them several times, they still tasted fishy and smelly when cooked.
He swore that he would never eat small intestines even if he starved to death.
"Brother, you still don't believe me? Look, I just washed the small intestine with flour and salt, and I also scraped the meat off the intestine. After that, I soaked it in wine, so there must be no smell. If you don't believe me, come and smell it?"
Lin Jingzhe was skeptical. He moved closer and looked cautiously at Xiaoman from a distance of two people, but he didn't dare to get closer.
Lin Xiaoman laughed out loud.
In the past six months, my brother's height has been increasing, but his courage has not changed.
After the meat was marinated for about half an hour, Lin Xiaoman began to demonstrate how to stuff sausages.
The simple bamboo tube was polished smooth. Lin Xiaoman stuffed the meat filling into the tube, smeared some oil on the thin end of the tube, and put the small intestine in.
Put it all the way down and tie a knot at the bottom.
Then they used a wooden stick to squeeze the meat in the bamboo tube continuously into the intestines.
Add meat, squeeze, and repeat the cycle.
Lin Dajiang came back from outside and saw his wife and children huddled together in the kitchen.
I don’t know what he is doing.
He walked over curiously and saw Xiaoman holding a piece of bamboo in his left hand and pressing it with a wooden stick in his right hand, and the meat filling went smoothly into the intestines.
Hey, is this intestine?
Why is it so thin? And transparent?
Is this the sausage that Xiaoman was talking about?
this......
Lin Dajiang was full of doubts, but he didn't want to disturb his daughter, so he just stood aside and watched, hesitating to say something.
It was not until Lin Xiaoman stuffed a whole section of small intestine and tied it up with a rope around his head that Lin Dajiang asked, "Xiaoman, is this the sausage you were talking about?"
Lin Xiaoman shook his sore arms and said, "Yes, it tastes good after being dried."
Seeing that his sister was tired, Lin Jingzhe immediately asked her to take over and he would do it.
In this way, the four eldest children in the Lin family took turns to stuff sausages.
Twenty pounds of meat, a total of ten pieces were stuffed into the pot.
Lin Xiaoman tied up the canned intestines with a rope, making them into small pieces of even length.
I also used my mother's embroidery needle to poke some small holes in the intestines.
Finally, rinse the sausages in hot water and hang them outside.
After doing all this, Lin Xiaoman clapped his hands. He finally made pure handmade sausage.
She used to make handmade sausages, but at least she bought the sausage stuffer online, which saved time and effort.
"The sausage cannot be exposed to the sun. It needs to be dried in a well-ventilated place. It can be eaten in about 70 to 80 days."
"It will be delicious when you steam or fry it."
Lin Jingzhe swallowed subconsciously, but when he thought about swallowing his saliva in front of a large piece of pig intestines, he felt unwell again.
