Chapter 33 Pork Head Meat
"Sister-in-law, our business is settled."
Su Xiaomu's eyes lit up, and then he pulled the confused Yin towards the butcher.
"Uncle, how do you sell your pig head meat?"
If you are older than her, you should call the men you don’t know uncle, and the women you don’t know, you will call them aunt. You can’t go wrong with this.
Butcher Hu originally wanted to keep the pig head meat and take it back to eat for himself. It was difficult to cook such a big thing, and people in the city didn't like to eat it. It was the hardest thing to sell.
"You take all one hundred and fifty coins."
He didn't expect that when he returned to the village, there would be someone willing to spend money to buy it. Looking at it, it should be the two daughters-in-law of the Gu family.
He drew out his long knife and made some gestures on the pig's head meat, and then said: "Pork in the city is almost ten cents per catty, and this pig's head is almost twenty catties. You won't lose if you take it for one hundred and fifty cents."
"Make it cheaper, one hundred and twenty cents. If possible, you can send it to my house now."
Su Xiaomu visually estimated that the pig head weighed no more than 18 pounds. Butcher Hu's price was not really "conscientious".
"Okay, one hundred and twenty coins is one hundred and twenty coins."
He thought for a while and agreed.
Mrs. Yin looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression as they completed the business. She helped Su Xiaomu carry the pig's head into the yard, and while she was removing the pig's hair, she said, "How do you eat this? I'll buy it for 120 yuan."
I'm afraid Mom will have something to say when such a thing comes back."
They didn't make much money from selling pancakes today, and they were worried about the danger as they took the bullock cart back.
There was no way to earn anything for Mr. Li, so he just used up all the money he had.
"It's okay, sister-in-law. I bought this because I thought of a way to make fresh food. Mom, leave it to me.
We all do it to make money for our family, and she can’t blame us for anything.”
Su Xiaomu asked Yin to arrange the pig head meat and went into the kitchen to boil water.
When Ms. Li came back from outside, she saw her two daughters-in-law washing a blackened pig's head.
Her eyebrows jumped, and then she stepped forward and pulled the pig's head to look around.
"Why would you buy such a big pig head on a non-annual and non-holiday basis? No one in the family likes to eat it."
"I bought it. Isn't it that our wild vegetable pancakes are about to run out of sales?
I have to think about changing my job. Pork head meat is good. When I was at home, my mother taught me how to make it and it was delicious."
Su Xiaomu wiped her hands clean and put her arm on Li's arm affectionately.
"Mom, just wait. When it's ready, I'll be the first to give it to you to taste."
"Okay, you and your sister-in-law can do whatever you like, but one thing is, you can't waste food."
When Mrs. Li heard that Su Xiaomu had bought it, her face was a little dark, but she still said.
Such a big pig head would probably cost a lot of copper coins.
She clicked her tongue and shook her head, then went back to her room to rest.
Just at this time, Gu Feng and Gu Hai came back from the fields.
"Brothers and sisters, did you buy such a big pig head for us to eat?"
After Gu Hai washed his hands, he sat in the yard and started rubbing the hemp rope. While rubbing it, he looked at the pig head curiously.
"No one likes to eat this stuff, what are you going to do?"
"Second brother, just wait and eat later."
Su Xiaomu really knew that Gu Hai was smart, so he guessed that he must be thinking about what kind of new business he would use this pig head to start.
Su Xiaomu cut the pork head into pieces and chose a larger piece to blanch.
There was no cooking wine, so she could only add some crude wine and spices to remove the fishy smell.
During the blanching process, Su Xiaomu used white sugar to stir-fry it to a sugary color, then put the blanched pork head in and stewed it, then added spices, soy sauce and salt and stirred well.
What she wanted to make this time was Roujiamo. White flour was kneaded into a ball with water. After it rested, it was pressed into a cake and then fried in a pan.
An hour passed, and the pig head was stewed soft and glutinous.
She took the stewed pork head out of the pot and chopped it into pieces, stirred the minced meat and fresh chili evenly, and then stuffed it into the cake.
"It's not that easy to copy homework this time."
She looked at the fragrant cake in front of her and was about to take it out to Mrs. Li to try it when she suddenly heard someone talking at the kitchen door.
She turned around and saw that a few greedy cats had already set their sights on her cake.
"Shashasha."
Gu Ruochen was so greedy that his mouth watered.
Seeing that Su Xiaomu was free, he immediately ran in excitedly, grabbed her sleeves and said coquettishly: "What is the third aunt making? It smells so good!"
"Yes, yes, we have smelled it a long time ago. This meat..."
Gu Ruonan muttered sheepishly.
"This meat is more fragrant than the braised pork that Third Aunt made last time. I really want to eat it."
"Eat, eat, eat. You have been thinking about eating all day long. What else will you do besides eating?"
Mrs. Li didn't know when she stood at the door of the kitchen.
Although she came here following the scent, she had an expression of impatience on her face when she saw several children being so greedy and unbearable.
"Your third aunt didn't make this for you to eat, she used it to make money."
As soon as Gu Ruochen and Gu Ruonan saw Mrs. Li coming, they immediately didn't dare to speak.
They could only quietly shake Su Xiaomu's sleeves, their round eyes blinking, filled with desire for meat buns.
Su Xiaoxiaomu patted the two children on the head very politely and said to them very gently: "Good boy, go out first. Auntie has something to do here. If you want to eat pancakes, I will take care of it later during the meal.
"
But blinked out of sight.
The children immediately understood.
Su Xiaomu was going to have a good talk with Mr. Li about the meat buns.
"Mom, try it quickly. This pancake is much more delicious than the previous wild vegetable pancake."
Su Xiaomu looks good and has a sweet voice.
Coupled with the natural intimacy she showed when talking to Mr. Li, Mr. Li was stunned for a while before taking the cake from her hand.
She looked at the cake in her hand. Not to mention, this was the first time she had seen such a cake.
She opened her mouth and took a bite. The white pancake was soft and fluffy, the meat was tender and juicy, the slight spiciness of the chili pepper spread on the tip of her tongue, and the meat was fragrant.
Ms. Li's eyes widened in shock: "This pancake is so delicious!"
After Mrs. Li finished drinking the water, the more she looked at Su Xiaomu, the more she felt psychologically considerate. This wife was a good wife, and she was more filial to her than her son and daughter.
Whenever I have something delicious to eat, I always think of her first. I usually pick up on her and listen to what I say. I never say a word to choke her.
The most important thing is that you will make money!
It would be great if such a lovable daughter-in-law could have a better relationship with Jingcheng.
It is best to give her a grandson as soon as possible, so that she will love this grandson the most.
Seeing Mr. Li's obedient look, she spoke out her inner thoughts while the iron was hot.
"Actually, the name of this cake is Roujiamo. I don't know if it was my mother who made it. Anyway, that's what it was called when she first made it."
Anyway, Mrs. Li was not familiar with the original owner's family, so Su Xiaomu felt no pressure at all to make up these lies: "I'm thinking of setting up a stall at the entrance of the academy in a few days, just to sell these meat buns.
