Chapter 222 Leisurely Preparation
The large wooden barrel is placed in the middle of the underground storage room. The various meats in it are slaughtered and divided into sections.
It would be inconvenient to take out so many of them, so Suning decided to kill them now.
Leaving the storage room and coming to the hilltop where the pigs are raised, I controlled my mental strength and picked out two pigs that were about the same size as the mission pigs given outside.
About two hundred kilograms, which can only be considered as the middle and lower grades in the pig pen, far from reaching the slaughter weight, but this is just enough.
After selecting, clean the two pigs, slaughter each pig, divide it into two large fans, and put them into the largest hemp snake bag.
The next step is beef, mutton, chicken, duck and goose. If it weren’t for being too exaggerated, Suning would really want to take more of it out.
But in addition to bringing these back to the brigade, she also planned to pack up each family's New Year's goods and take advantage of this opportunity to send them out first.
It is difficult to prepare fresh meat for mailing. Although the weather is cold and the temperature is very low, it should smell bad after holding it for more than ten days.
After touching her chin and thinking for a while, she decided to make it directly into smoked bacon. Not only did it last longer, it also tasted great.
Just do it!
There is a lot of meat to be prepared this time, and the kitchen in the small courtyard is relatively small and difficult to use.
In the spacious area near the river at the foot of the mountain, several fires and wooden frames were set up.
The meat to be smoked was first strung up on ropes, and burning in the fire were several large fruit trees she specially found in the orchard.
I heard that using the branches and leaves of apple trees, pear trees and hickory trees will have a unique fragrance. When used for smoking and roasting, the smoke produced will be less and the original flavor and nutrition of the food can be better maintained. .
She has no shortage of fruit trees. She can just replant the holes she dug.
First spread the meat evenly with salt and set it aside to marinate. When it is marinated, hang it one by one on the bamboo rack.
She waited until several shelves were filled with pieces of meat of similar sizes before she stopped. She turned around and controlled her mental power to start making sausages, blood tofu and other special New Year dishes that must be served on the dining table during the Chinese New Year.
Fortunately, she was in space, and she didn’t have to do all the work herself if she had mental power. Otherwise, just these preparations would have taken a lot of time and energy.
……
What was prepared for the Fu family and the Zhang family were the same, two chickens, two ducks, two geese, and two fish, two pieces of beef, two lamb legs, four pieces of pork, six sausages, and two pieces of blood tofu.
The reason why we chose even numbers is to have good luck during the New Year.
The Zhao family and the Xiao Qiao brothers in Shanghai are very different from each other. Except for sausages and blood tofu, there is only one chicken and duck each.
She has not forgotten Yan Ziyu and Yan Zijin, who are far away in the northeast and northwest. However, because of their special situation now, all the packages they handle have to be opened and inspected in advance, so she does not dare to go too far and just prepare Received a small amount of wax goods.
As for those who are close to the ancient city, it is not too late to give it away before the Chinese New Year.
Looking at the neatly stacked snake bags in the yard, Suning clapped his hands with a smile on his face: Done!
Everyone who was busy in the space forgot about the time. He glanced at his watch and realized that it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon.
No wonder my stomach is growling. I haven’t eaten all day. How can I not be hungry?
I haven’t cooked in Taoyuan for a long time. Today I will eat in the space. After dinner, it will be dark outside.
In the vegetable garden, I picked a few handfuls of rapeseed, a few green onions, and a fresh sausage that was smoked today.
Suning got excited and prepared to cook a bamboo tube rice for herself.
......
After eating the bamboo tube rice with sausage that made people confused, she nibbled on some after-dinner fruits. After she was satisfied, she wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and spoke quietly. Out of space.
This blind spot is still as quiet as it was in the morning.
Staying there for a few seconds as my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I calmly turned on the flashlight I took out from the space.
The small courtyard is only separated from this dead alley by a wall. It is easy to carry back and is not so eye-catching.
Next to the corner, he put the things he had prepared before neatly one by one, and then took out some old and worn large baskets to temporarily cover the things.
After finding nothing wrong, he ran towards home with brisk footsteps.
In less than two minutes, the panting Suning had returned to the door of the courtyard and raised his hand to knock on the door.
“Creak——”
The speed was very fast, as if someone was waiting behind the door. As soon as he put down his hand to knock on the door, the door was already opened.
The fact is that several members of the Zhang family have been out all day long after seeing her. It was already dark and she had not come back yet, so they were naturally worried. Zhang Qi was about to go out to look for someone, but he didn’t know that he heard a knock on the door as soon as he walked to the door. .
“Ning Ning, you are finally back!”
Seeing her, Zhang Qi’s heart was pressed hard back to his chest as he lifted it up to his mouth, “Why did it take you so long? What's going on? ""It's okay, it's just that the wait for the goods has been a long time. Brother and the others have already helped transport the goods to the alley over there. Please come with me to check the goods back! "
< br>
“Let’s go!”
Hearing this piece of chess, she stopped talking nonsense. Although she didn’t know what channels she used to buy something, she placed the things carelessly outside just in case. If someone finds out, you will suffer.
“Wait a minute, brother, there are a lot of things. Let’s bring the trolley!”
“I’ll pick it up wherever you put it.”
“It’s covered with linen in the storage room. ”
"Take a good breath first, I'll drag you out right away."
Hearing faint voices but no one coming in, Zhang Fu walked out of the main room in confusion, and bumped into his son who was running hurriedly to the storage room. .
"Aqi, who are you talking to? Is it Ningning who is back? Where is the person?"
"It's Ningning who is back. She is at the door. Dad won't tell you about me yet. Go get the trolley."
Seeing his anxious expression and waving his hands to the person, Zhang Fu turned and walked towards the door. When he left the yard, he saw a man leaning against the door and holding his stomach, panting.
"Ning Ning, what's wrong with you?"
"Dad, I'm fine. I just ran back and was a bit distracted. Just take it slow and it'll be fine."
Careful. Taking a look at her little face, except for the two flushes left behind after running, there was no sign of discomfort. Zhang Fu nodded with relief.
Before he could speak again, Zhang Qi, who had left and returned, walked out pushing the wheelbarrow with both hands.
When he learned that the two were going to carry things, Zhang Fu, who felt he still had the strength, followed them to help despite their persuasion.
After carrying it back and forth three times, I got everything into the small courtyard.
"Ning Ning, how much did you buy? What are they?"
I took a big sip of warm tea and felt that the dryness in my mouth was gone. Zhang Qi turned to look at the person slumped on the straw mat.
I don’t know what was in these sacks. They were so heavy that his waist almost broke after several trips.
It was difficult to keep quiet outside and he was afraid of making a big noise. He had been holding back and not asking, but now he had to ask clearly.
"Ning Ning, didn't you eat everything in that man's hand?"
"Haha, almost."
Put down the teacup in your hand, Suning came to them in a few steps and pointed at the marked hemp bags.
"These are what I plan to mail. The rest, except for the gifts, are what I will take back to my old house for my own use."
Unlock the two nearby hemp bags and continue He opened his mouth and said, "Except for the rice grain, the rest is slaughtered meat."
"Hiss——"
Looking at the snow-white rice and the whole fan of pork, Zhang Fu and Zhang Qi couldn't help but take a breath at the same time.
I knew she was not easy, but I didn’t know her path was so difficult!
Whether it is this special grade rice or such fresh whole pork, there is no ordinary way.
“There won’t be any danger, right?”
“There won’t be any problem, don’t worry, godfather.”
“Ning Ning, just be aware of it. But in the future, you can still deal with them less. Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst.”
“Okay, I understand, brother.” With his little heart beating, Zhang Qi's expression changed, and he wailed in pretended pain, "It's over, my wife seems to be bleeding heavily this time."
"Humph, anyway, we have Xiaoqiu now. Don’t worry, as for your daughter-in-law who doesn’t know where she is yet... you can slowly start saving from scratch!”
Do you want it to be so heartbreaking? Also urging marriage in disguise?
"Hahaha, this, isn't this a joke on Ning Ning?"
The corners of Zhang Qi's mouth twitched, he wiped the non-existent cold sweat on his head, and quickly changed the subject to avoid himself Leaning into the ditch, "Ning Ning, I will reimburse you no matter how much you spend."
