The little girl from a farm family has a big wish to make a fortune by farming and picking mushrooms

Chapter 197 Braised Pork

"That's great!"

Everyone was very happy, and their smiles seemed to be semi-permanently welded to their faces.

One reason is that they have meat to eat, and the other is that they no longer have to eat mung bean dregs cakes.

There is a lot of pig shit on these three piglets?! In short, it is something unclean.

Old Mrs. Zhou asked her three sons to wash the piglets.

It’s not because they think they are dirty, but because they are afraid that they will bring some bad diseases and infect the chickens, ducks and rabbits at home.

They have worked so hard to lay eggs and give birth to chicks, they don't want to end up in vain.

"With these livestock, we don't have to worry about fertilizer for the fields anymore, haha."

Boss Zhou smiled happily. It had only been over a month, but the manure pile at home had already grown very high.

"That's right! Not only do we have a lot of livestock at home, but the little ones at home are also big eaters. Once one of them takes a shit, the toilet will be full."

After Mrs. Zhou finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

Having said that, I have hit the nail on the head, because the manure piles in the front and back yards need to be cleaned up, because they are really very high.

First move them to the vegetable garden next door.

There are still a lot of vacant land over there with nothing planted on it. If you pile up some grass there, it will kill some grass.

"You guys should take care of the cleanup in the next two days. Our little lamb will probably be here soon."

Old Mrs. Zhou went to the vegetable garden next door to pick long beans.

This vegetable patch is nearing completion and the bean vines are no longer blooming much.

Old Mrs. Zhou left some seeds and picked all the rest. Many of them were infested with insects and would be eaten by the insects if they were not picked.

"Grandma, please save some more seeds. We can plant them in the vegetable garden outside next year. Then there will be more fruits."

"Hahaha, the space outside is big and long. Even if you hadn't told me, I would have left more space. And the loofahs have so many sprouts, and they love to sprout. They're still sprouting now."

She really had to thank the birds for dropping a few droppings when they passed by her house, otherwise she wouldn't have these delicious loofahs and peppers.

The peppers in the vegetable garden outside are growing faster and will soon bear fruit, and the ones at home are about to wither, so it's just the right time to replant them.

"Grandma, I have something else I want to tell you. Let's talk while we walk."

Zhou Mingshu took the basket from Old Lady Zhou and they walked towards the front yard.

"What's the matter? I feel like something's not right from your expression!"

"Haha, no way. What I want to say is that our mung bean jelly can't keep selling like this. Many people eat this jelly in the summer, but fewer people eat it in the winter."

"You're right. It was the same when your uncle was selling braised meat. Business was good in the summer, but not in the winter. Business was only slightly better at the beginning of the year."

Old Mrs. Zhou sighed slightly. She didn't know what she would do if the business stopped. But it would be nice to have a winter's rest.

It was snowing heavily and the north wind was blowing fiercely. It was really cold and it was very uncomfortable to set up a stall outside.

"Grandma, it's still two months before the weather gets cold, and the buyers at our jelly stall are relatively stable. I think we can try adding some braised meat or vegetables. We have chili peppers at home, and the meat tastes good when cooked. We can make more money while there is still time."

"Tsk, your idea is good, it's the manpower for our family..."

"Oh, this is a small matter. If you are really too busy, just hire two people. If the family is not busy, Dad and uncle can also go to town to help."

Since the summer harvest, neither brother has gone to town to carry heavy bags.

There are so many things to do in the fields that they have no time to go.

Besides, these chores at home are more important and earn more money. Compared with carrying heavy loads, it is more cost-effective to help at home.

It’s just braised meat, that’s too easy for Zhou Mingshu!

As long as the ingredients are well matched, there is no need to worry about the meat not being fragrant when cooked.

While eating, everyone sat together to discuss which part of the meat to buy.

Finally, I decided to stew pig ears, pig tongue, pig tail, pig face, and also stew pig heart, pig lung, pig liver, and pig stomach. These parts are easier to clean and will not take too much time to organize.

So Zhou Mingshu did not say that he wanted pig large intestines or small intestines.

It's okay to wash and eat these things occasionally, but it would be terrible if they had to wash and eat them every day. It would take a long time just to wash them, which is not cost-effective for them.

To make these things, you need two more pots.

All these things are left to the adults to do, and once the pot arrives, they can start braising the food.

It happened that the ducks in the house came home, and they lined up one by one with their big bellies and walked towards the backyard.

Zhou Mingshu looked at them and almost drooled.

I want to eat spicy duck food!

Don’t worry, let’s talk about it later.

The next day, after Boss Zhou finished selling the jelly, he turned around and went to the blacksmith shop and the carpenter shop.

When we got home, there were two more pots and a few wooden plates in the car. These wooden plates were used to hold the meat.

"Boys, come and help."

As soon as Boss Zhou called out, Zhou Mingzhi and his two younger brothers came running over to transport the things.

"This pot has a deep mouth and a handle, so you can take it out when it's done."

So there is no need to build a stove anymore. If there is fire leaking from the edge of the pot, you can cover it with a wet rag.

Except for the pig offal, all the other pork has to be roasted over fire because there are a lot of pig hairs on it that have not been plucked clean.

Pig bristles are very prickly and will affect the taste of your mouth!

After braising, you need to check again. If there are any residues, you need to use small clips to pick them out one by one.

If you want to do something well, you have to be very careful.

Looking back to the past, when the Zhou family sold braised meat on the street, it was also relying on the good character of the couple.

Who has nothing better to do than pull pig hair at home? !

Except for his Zhou family.

The first pot of braised meat was eaten by the family, and its aroma spread far and wide. The dogs in the village lingered nearby for a long time.

Liu picked out some different parts, cut some into shreds, cut some into slices, and then made a cold dressing.

This braised meat can be eaten plain or dipped in sauce, depending on your taste.

"It's from the old family. Cut more and ask the children to send some to your second uncle's house later."

"Okay, then I'll cut some more pig faces for Uncle Er, he likes this."

After finishing all this, he called Zhou Mingjie and asked the brat to run a trip.

Since there is braised meat at home, the three brothers Zhou Lao Da naturally have to have a couple of drinks.

Zhou Laosan poured a plate of peanuts, and the three of them sat at the corner of the table, eating meat and tasting wine, feeling very comfortable.

Old Mrs. Zhou was not idle either. She cooked a pot of food with spicy hot pot soup, and everyone was eating with great enthusiasm.

I have to say, this braised meat is really delicious.
