Cleaning fat intestines is a technical job. In the modern era when there is no shortage of food, flour or starch, vinegar and wine are used to clean fatty intestines. But here, flour, vinegar, Huadiao wine are not cheap, and she is reluctant to use it to clean pig offal. , so she used plant ash. Plant ash itself is also a traditional Chinese medicine. It has the effect of purification and can also remove odors, so she used plant ash to clean the fat intestines.

After rubbing and scrubbing many times, the fat intestines were washed white and clean. She cut off a small part of the fat in the fat intestines and left most of the fat, so that the marinated meat would be rich in oil and water, and the taste would be good.

After eating evening food, Xu Qinyu began to marinate.

When she was cooking, other people couldn't help except to watch the stove, they all helped to clean the pots and pans.

Wen Shi was washing the wooden basin used by his daughter-in-law just now in the yard, while the two children and Pei Weixuan squatted by the stove to warm up the fire.

It was too cold.

Xu Qinyu started to fry the sugar color. Melt the lard in the iron pan and add the old rock sugar to stir fry slowly. After the sugar color was fried, add the spices, sliced ​​ginger, dogwood, shallots and stir fry. After frying, add it to the cauldron Clear water, wait for the water to boil, add soy sauce and salt, clean the fatty intestines and pork belly, then simmer on low heat for 3 quarters of an hour and then turn off the heat, so that the stewed fatty intestines are just right, not too soft, chewy and fragrant It is not greasy, and she also added the large pieces of radishes that she had cut into it, and covered the pot with the lid on the radishes, stuffing them with the hot marinade.

In this way, the radish will be cooked as soon as it is boiled tomorrow morning, and it will be very delicious.

Let the cabbage be fried tomorrow with some dogwood and vinegar.

The fried eggs and pancakes are all made tomorrow.

People here eat morning food around nine o'clock in the morning, and they don't have to get up and work in the middle of the night.

In a modern breakfast shop, customers will have breakfast around 5:30 and 6:00, and the staff and boss of the breakfast shop usually get up and work at three or four o'clock, which is very hard.

The pot of fat sausage she braised, when it was just braised, it filled the room with aroma.

After the marinade was finished, the fragrance spread far and wide, and all the neighbors around could smell it.

"Oh, what the hell does the neighbor do? I'm so hungry every day."

"It smells so good, I feel like I haven't eaten the evening food I just ate."

The neighbors around were almost confused by the fragrance.

"Mother, mother, I want to eat, I want to eat." Some children couldn't help but yelled when they smelled the fragrance.

"It's so fragrant, it must be the smell of stewed meat, even the meat from the stewed meat shop is not so fragrant, how can our family afford stewed meat, son, stop making trouble."

"I don't, I don't, I'm going to eat."

Many children in Osmanthus Lane cried when they smelled the scent. They asked the adults to eat, or they were coaxed by the adults with nice words, and some adults who had a bad temper directly beat up the children.

After Xu Qinyu finished her work, she boiled hot water, and the whole family washed up before falling asleep.

...

In the morning light, Xu Qinyu woke up.

In the Pei family, Xu Qinyu and Pei Weixuan usually got up earlier.

Pei Jianing couldn't sleep well at night, and Xu Qinyu could feel her sister-in-law tossing and turning in a drowsy sleep, so she would let her sister-in-law sleep more in the morning.

Every time she went to the kitchen, the cheap husband almost followed her out.

The cheap husband sat in front of the stove and helped her watch the fire, while Xu Qinyu cooked today's porridge on the small stove first, because there is meat sandwiches today, the porridge is relatively clear, and it is just right to eat.

She kneaded the dough again, put the dough on the chopping board and woke up for a quarter of an hour, poured all the marinated vegetables in the pot into the large casserole prepared before, cleaned the pot, and started kneading the dough to make pancakes.

Pancakes are simple, the dough is squeezed into half the size of a fist and pressed into a cake, and the thickness can be evenly baked.

The portion of her stewed fat intestines and pork belly is probably enough for about fifty roujiamo, so baked fifty-five pancakes.

The iron pan is big enough, she can bake several cakes at a time.

Wait until the cake is baked and start frying the eggs.

The bottom of the pot was brushed with a thin layer of lard and salt, and the fried eggs were full of burnt aroma, and each one was round and round.

After frying the eggs, fried a pot of vinegared Chinese cabbage.

Her cabbage is fried from a whole cabbage cut into strips about two centimeters in thickness. It is relatively thick, and it is more suitable to be sandwiched in pancakes later. It is refreshing and appetizing to eat alone.

The stewed fat sausage on the big stove was boiled again, and the radish was naturally cooked.

After finishing all this, the porridge was ready, she cut up the fat intestines, pork belly and radish, and made eleven roujiamo.

The Pei family has six, and the Xia family has five, so the food is prepared, so naturally all the Xia family should taste it.

When Zhuzi came to serve food, he learned that he and his younger sister Xiaocui were also here today, and thanked Xu Qinyu a thousand times.

There are five or six pieces of large fat intestines in a Roujiamo, and a small piece of pork belly. There is no way, there is only one pork belly, and naturally a small piece is cut out in each Roujiamo.

Add chopped braised radish, a fried egg and a piece of hot and sour cabbage strips, the belly of the Roujiamo is fully supported by the filling, bite it down, the skin is crispy, and the fatty intestines are fragrant , There is still grease coming out, but it is oily but not greasy, with the burnt aroma of fried eggs, soft rotten radish, and hot and sour cabbage, it is so delicious that the Pei family was stunned.

Wen's heart is determined, this kind of delicious Roujiamo can't even be found in the capital, no, even the imperial dining room in the palace can't make it, let alone such a remote place in the southwest, this business can indeed be done.

...

After eating the court food, Xu Qinyu was about to push the food stall to the pier to sell it.

Pei Weixuan helped lift the big stove under the cart, and put a pot of stewed sausages on the stove and put it on the stove. The fire in the stove has been removed, and there is only a little simmer left, which is to keep the casserole warm. .

There is also a pot of pancakes, a pot of fried eggs and a pot of cabbage sticks, all placed next to the big stove under the cart, covered with a mattress made of white gauze, the stove emits heat, even if you walk to the pier, these things will not change. It will cool down.

Xu Qinyu originally planned to go by herself, but the fourth brother must come over to help her push the cart. She pushed it by herself, and it was indeed a bit heavy.

After the two left, Wen shi cleaned up the kitchen and the room.

Xu Qin Yulu's fat sausage was so fragrant that even with the lid on the casserole, the fragrance couldn't be covered.

Osmanthus Fragrance Some people are sweeping snow in the yard with the gate open, and there are children playing in the alley and playing with the snow.

Pei Weixuan was pushing the cart, and the armrests of the cart were quite wide, and she also helped, the two of them followed the cart quite clearly, some neighbors sweeping snow saw the two of them, and there was also the strange light on the cart. Looking at the steaming casserole, immediately knew that the two of them should be the people who rented the Xia family's house. The aroma that made everyone almost unable to sleep last night was exactly the same as now, and it was also made by them.

Some people couldn't help but came out and asked, "Little lady, what are you cooking for? What are you planning to do?"

Xu Qinyu smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm Roujiamo, and I'm selling it at the pier."

The woman couldn't help asking, "Roujiamo? Pork bun? How much is it?"

Xu Qinyu said: "Eight coins for one piece."

The cost is too high, if it really costs five cents like a pork bun, she won't earn anything.

What's more, her Roujiamo is much bigger than the pork bun, full of stuffing, and the taste is even more incomparable. She wants to sell it on East Street and West Street, at least ten yuan.

The neighbor's aunt showed a surprised expression, "Eight cents a piece? This is too expensive, forget it, don't want it."

Immediately, lost the idea of ​​buying one to try, mainly because the children at home were making a lot of noise yesterday, thinking that if it was pork buns, it would cost five cents a piece, and she could buy one for the child if she gritted her teeth, but for eight cents, she really reluctant.

The child of this aunt's family is only five or six years old. When grandma said that he would not buy it, he immediately cried and wanted to eat.

The aunt was a little angry, and took the child back to the yard, "Our family can't afford it, if you cry again, I will beat you."

The child was still fussing, and the aunt was a little anxious, so she slapped the child's buttocks twice, and the child cried even louder.

Xu Qinyu felt very uncomfortable looking at it, the child was only five or six years old, looked thin, and the children playing in the alley were all thin and small, in her era, children No worries about eating and drinking, except for some picky eaters who lost weight, most of them are healthy and strong. Parents are still afraid that their children will not eat well, and they wish that every meal will be full of fish and meat.

But these children may not be able to eat meat a few times a year. Even ordinary dishes are boiled, and they are reluctant to put oil and salt, so naturally they will not grow well.

On the way out of Osmanthus Fragrance, many people asked about the price, and no one was willing to buy it when they learned that it cost eight cents.

It's really a small pork bun, which is three renminbi more expensive than the normal price. don't think it's worth it. For eight renminbi, you can cut more than two taels of meat to taste the meat.

Fortunately, Xu Qinyu's goal in the morning was not the neighbors in the alley, so she continued to push the cart towards the pier.

But along the way, she didn't say much.

Pei Weixuan glanced at her slightly sideways, with deep eyes, she felt sorry for those thin children.

Fortunately, we arrived at the pier soon. Usually, there is a stall fee for setting up a stall at the pier, but now that it is snowing, there are not many people who set up a stall, and no one comes to collect the stall fee.

There are quite a few places where you can set up a stall, Xu Qinyu chose a place at random, the smell of her stewed fat intestines was so attractive, two boatmen who were walking towards the wonton stall couldn't help but turned towards her Come.

"Little lady, what are you selling? Why is it so fragrant?"

Xu Qinyu smiled and said, "What I sell here are Roujiamo, stewed fat intestines, pork belly, and radish. In addition, fried hot and sour Chinese cabbage, and fried eggs are served at eight cents each."

"Fat sausage? Are you talking about pigs in the water?" The two showed disgusted expressions, "It's hard to hide the stench after cooking, it's so unpalatable, who would want to eat this stuff, and the pork buns from other houses are only five yuan , your pork bun made with pig offal, even if you add fried eggs, it’s not worth eight cents, my lady, it’s not what you do for business, you really dare to ask for it.”

Xu Qinyu didn't speak, opened the lid of the casserole, took out the fat sausage, cut two pieces half a finger long on the chopping board, and then tied it with a wooden stick to the two of them, "How is my stewed fat sausage doing? Just try it and you'll know."

The two didn't want to taste it at first, but after the lid was removed, the smell became stronger, and they tried their best to drill into their noses. Finally, the two couldn't help it, and they didn't think it was dirty, so they took the fat sausage plug on the stick with their own hands. When I put it in my mouth, I thought it would be a fishy smell, but it was sizzling and oily. The fat intestines were chewy, and the more they chewed, the more fragrant they became. It was more fragrant than meat, and there was no fishy smell at all.

The eyes of both of them stared straight, and they asked in disbelief, "Little lady, you, are you really a mess? Why is it more delicious than the meat we eat?"

They have never eaten such delicious offal.

Xu Qinyu smiled and said, "You two, would you like to try a Roujiamo? My Roujiamo is bigger than the pork bun, and the fillings inside are richer. One is worth two. It is absolutely delicious."

The fat sausage was so delicious that both of them couldn't help but said, "Then give us one each."

Xu Qin Yuma cut fat intestines, pork belly and radish, and made two meat sandwiches.

The two of them saw that the rougamo was bulging, and the food inside was overflowing. Finally, the young lady poured a small spoonful of soup into the rougamo, wrapped it in oil paper, and handed the rougamo to them. .

The two couldn't wait, so they opened their mouths and bit down. The cake and the vegetables inside were bitten down in one bite. It was oily and fragrant, satisfying and satisfying.

It was so delicious that both of them felt their scalps go numb.

This is the best food they have eaten in the past ten years, even better than the dishes that the boss invited them to eat in restaurants in the capital.

The two of them didn't even bother to talk, and they ate up a piece of Roujiamo in just a few mouthfuls. When they were both strong laborers and long-boned, their appetites naturally increased, and one Roujiamo was not enough to eat. It should be too much for two, and this Roujiamo is so delicious, they just want to eat their fill first.

"Little lady, bring me two!"

"I want it too, little lady."

"Here, little lady, this is twenty-four dollars, you take it."

The two took out their money bags, counted twenty-four copper coins and handed them to the good-looking man beside the little lady.

Pei Weixuan silently collected the money.

Xu Qinyu quickly prepared four roujia buns and handed them to the two.

The two returned to the boat while eating.

Back on the boat, the smell could not be concealed, and the other boatmen who were planning to disembark to eat couldn't help but ask, "Zhouzi, Heiwa, what are you two eating? It's so delicious."

"Roujiamo." The two of them were chewing on the Roujiamo, and their words were vague, "There is a new food stall under the boat, made by a little lady, you can see it when you go down, the weight of this Roujiamo. Foot, the taste is absolutely amazing, I have never eaten such a delicious food, the oil and water are still enough, there is no pork belly in it, the fat sausage that the little lady does not know how to marinate, it is oily, the more you chew, the more fragrant it is."

This is a merchant ship, not the two official ships that pull coal and iron ore.

When the others heard it, they joked: "Have you two never eaten something good, you can eat something like water, and they say it's delicious."

Zhuangzi snorted with Heiwa, "If you have the ability, don't go to the little lady to buy morning food."

They are only seventeen or eighteen years old, and if their family is not very poor, they would not be allowed to run with merchant ships.

In recent years, the bandits on the canal have been very serious, and the imperial court has also suppressed them countless times, but they can't catch them at all. Therefore, merchant ships will hire many thugs to follow the boat, just for fear of encountering water bandits.

Zhuangzi and Heiwa belonged to the same village, and they happened to have some martial arts skills. The two went with the merchant ship when they saw that the family couldn't open the pot. They also saved money on weekdays. It was really delicious at Roujiamo.

Several other people are still laughing at them, "Don't worry, we will definitely not eat this stuff."

Having said that, they have already got off the boat together.
