Chapter 26 Braised Meat

After walking out of the town and finding a deserted forest, Li Wen returned directly to the space warehouse.

When he came to the second floor and walked into the living room, he saw a lot of books, calligraphy and paintings piled on the floor. Li Wen first opened six or seven ancient paintings.

"Well, these are the works of Zhu Yunming, the four great talents of the Ming Dynasty, as well as Bada Shanren and Xiangguang layman. They are all good and famous artists! These calligraphy and paintings will be valuable in the future. I will collect more in the future, which can be regarded as for protection.

Cultural relics make a contribution," Li Wen said to himself with a smile.

There are some thread-bound books left, some from the Ming Dynasty, and some from the Qing Dynasty. They are all like the Three-Character Analects of Confucius. There are also a few Taoist classics and medical classics. Many of them are quite broken, and the binding has lost its thread.

, Li Wen didn’t know much about these, but he sorted them all out and put them in wooden boxes.

I found some banned books from the remaining modern and contemporary books and put them on the shelves, and put the selected literary classics, magazines and a large stack of newspapers into my backpack.

After leaving the space, Li Wen walked leisurely with his hands empty. It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon when he returned to the village. In the woods at the entrance of the village, Li Wen took out the backpack from the space and put it on his back, and then walked swaggering towards his home.

"Wenzi, what were you doing before you came back? What are you carrying in the basket? It looks heavy?" When passing by a house in the village, a few old ladies who were enjoying the shade under the big tree at the door asked, waving cattail fans."

"Women, isn't this fishing gear lost? I went to my classmate's house in the county yesterday to apologize. When I came back, I bought some scrap newspapers and old books. Li Wen put down his backpack and smiled."

"Then give me some of your old newspapers so that I can go home and lay them on the wall. This newspaper will look very beautiful on the wall," said an old lady with a smile.

"Liu Po, I can't do it today. I have to go back and read these newspapers. Besides, this newspaper is not enough to cover the wall. Next time, I will go to the city in a while and get more old newspapers for everyone. Li

Wen declined and smiled. "

"Wenzi, we've agreed, we'll do it next time! Several old ladies said happily after hearing this."

"Definitely, definitely, then you guys can continue chatting, I'll leave first," Li Wen smiled and picked up his backpack and hurried towards home.

What's the use of buying so many old books and newspapers? What newspapers do rural people read? They don't do their jobs properly. Several old ladies were talking quietly.

A long way away, Li Wen paused when he heard the words, then pretended not to hear and continued walking.

I'm back, Li Wen opened the courtyard door and shouted!

"Awen, you are back. Grandma Guo Xiuyun came out of the room and looked at Li Wen at the door and said with a smile."

"Why didn't you go home yesterday? Your aunt came to the house this morning and said that you left yesterday afternoon. You made the family worried because of your little monkey. The old lady smiled and pointed at Li Wen's forehead and said with a smile."

"I didn't go home last night, I went fishing," Li Wen said quietly.

"Then where did you sleep, the old lady asked."

"There is an abandoned cave dwelling next to the reservoir, and I spent the night there. Anyway, the weather is hot now and I am not afraid of catching a cold. Li Wen was smiling."

"Awen, you are old now. What are you going to do in the future? Say hello to your family in advance, otherwise the family will be frightened." The old lady said in a deep tone.

"Okay, I got it. If anything happens in the future, I'll tell you and your parents in advance," Li Wenqian smiled.

"Look, this is the pork I cut and the pig's urine." Li Wen took out the book and newspaper and took the pork out from under the basket.

"That's two kilograms of pork, this piece of meat is pretty good, it's all pork belly," the old lady said with a smile as she mentioned the pork."

"The pork is good, but we don't know how to do it with these pigs." The old lady picked it up. It was quite heavy!

"I can make it. I learned it from books. People in the south like to use these pig offal, heart, liver, and pig heads to make braised pork. It is delicious! I bought some ingredients today and will make braised pork for everyone. It will definitely

It's delicious, Li Wen said with a smile. "

"I have also eaten braised pork. When I was young, I went to Chang'an City and your grandfather bought some. It was soft and tasty. My grandson is really capable. Well, I, an old lady, will be waiting for your braised pork today."

Then he went back to the room and continued making his own cloth shoes.

It was too hot in the yard and the old lady couldn't wait long to help Li Wen clean the pig waste, so she had to clean it herself.

"Well, I'm going to clean it first." Why no one wants to eat these things like water? Firstly, it is difficult to clean up, and secondly, it takes a lot of materials to make.

Awen put down his backpack, threw the pork and sewer beside the water tank in the yard, and then came outside the door.

"Xiaojuan, come here," said Li Wen, who saw the little guy playing under a big tree in the village from a distance."

"Brother, when did you come back? I've missed you so much these past two days!" The little guy ran over and looked at Li Wen and wanted to hug him.

"Stop, your paws are as dirty as a pig's. Go to the yard and wash your hands quickly." Little Li Wen pulled his arm and came to the yard.

"Brother, there's so much meat," the little guy's mouth immediately started to water when he saw the pork next to the water tank.

"Hurry up and wash up. When you're done, go call your little brothers and help them come home." Li Wen grabbed the little guy and wiped his face with a towel!

After the little guy finished washing, he ran out without Li Wen urging him!

After cleaning the pork, Li Wen started to deal with the pig waste. It is indeed difficult to clean the pig waste. If it is not handled well, the seasoning will be insufficient and the pot will be full of fishy smell and difficult to swallow. However, it is indeed a difficult delicacy to handle well.

Li Wen bought two sets of pig waste today, weighing twenty or thirty kilograms. If he was left to clean it alone, it would probably take at least four or five hours, so he quickly called his younger brothers and sisters back to help.

First, deal with the pig hearts. Take out the two pig hearts separately, use a knife to separate them and remove the white fascia inside. Then use scissors to make several holes in the front to facilitate blood draining and cleaning. Then throw them aside and wait for your brother to come back and clean them specially.

.

Next, the fascia was removed from the second pair of pork kidneys, and a few small holes were pierced and placed in a basin to soak in blood water.

Remove the outer white fascia from pork spleen, pork liver, and pork belly, then put them in a basin and soak them first.

"Mom, help me boil a large pot of water. Just use the two clay pots behind the stove. I'll use the aluminum pot for a while," Li Wen raised his head and shouted to Li Wen.

"Okay, got it," the old lady's voice came from inside the house.

"Brother, we are back." The door was suddenly pushed open, and four or five children rushed in.

"Wow, there's so much pork today," the little guys exclaimed as they squatted aside and watched Li Wen handling the pig waste.

"Stop looking, help me clean them quickly. These pig hearts, kidneys, and lungs need to be washed with blood before they can be eaten, otherwise they won't be edible," Li Wen pointed to the processed pig viscera on the side.

"Okay, let's clean it," a few little guys hurriedly brought the basin and started cleaning it.

"Brother Wenzi, we also want to help clean it together. Can you let us eat the pork when it's cooked? Just a little bit," Li Qiang, the boy from next door, and Li Wenhu, the accountant, said, looking at the pork in a disgraceful manner.

Seeing the expectant looks on the two eight or nine-year-old little guys, Li Wen smiled and nodded.

Okay! Clean the pork and eat the pork. The two little guys immediately joined the cleaning group with joy. The water splashed for a while and it was very lively. Li Wen leisurely dealt with the mucous membrane and oil stains on the small intestine.

"Brother, what should I do with this pig lung? It's red and there is blood inside. We can't clean it. Li Min carried the pig lung and said."

"Yongzi, go break a hollow branch," Li Wen picked up the pig lung and looked at it and shouted.

"Look, he pointed a branch at the pipe and blew water into it. Li Wen gave a demonstration. The little guys seemed to have found a new toy and they were rushing to get it first."

After cleaning it, Li Wen took out the white vinegar and his father's bulk white wine bought from the town from the room and started marinating it to remove the fishy smell.

It took more than two hours for a group of people to completely clean the pig's waste water.

"I'm so tired. It's really troublesome to deal with the pig's sewer," the little guys sat on the ground with water stains on their faces and whined.

"Okay, you little guys, please get up and wash yourself properly. Li Min will go to my mother-in-law's house to get some soap to wash off the smell of water on your body. You won't need to wait for more than an hour or two before you can eat it.

"

Li Wen smiled, these little guys really did their best today. I would have known that handling pig waste would be a delicate job, and it would be very challenging for hyperactive children to be able to do it patiently for more than two hours.

Blanch all the pork to remove the blood foam and fishy smell, and then Li Wen starts marinating.

There wasn't much oil at home, so Li Wen quietly took some out of the space and used it.

After the oil is hot, add sugar to make it brown. Then pour the meat into the pot and stir-fry until it is colored. Add soy sauce and salt to taste. Finally, take out two braised pork buns from the space and put them in. Pour in the source of life and cover the pot.

Open brine.

Fortunately, the aluminum pot was big enough to hold about 30 kilograms of sesame water and pork. Everything was done. It took more than four hours of work.

It was almost seven o'clock in the evening, and the adults had already started to get off work.

After about half an hour, the water in the pot has boiled, and the smell of braised pork has faintly wafted out.

"It smells so good. Mom is making something delicious at home tonight. It smells so good. My second uncle opened the door and smelled the aroma in the yard and smiled."

"It seems to taste like meat, just like the pig-killing dish made by the village chef Lao Shi during the New Year. My father put down the wooden stick in his hand and said with a smile."

"Dad, you guys are done," Li Wen and a group of little guys were sitting in the yard chatting. When he saw the yard door opening and his father and others coming back, he hurriedly stood up and said.

"Well, I'm back. What were you doing when you didn't go home yesterday? Father Li walked to the water tank in the yard and scooped out water."

"I went to my classmate's house and just came back this afternoon," Li Wen said, looking at other children in the yard, and changed the topic.

Father Li smiled when he saw Li Qiang and Li Wenhu and said, "Let me tell your family what you are going to do next. Your mother and your mother-in-law were worried all night yesterday."

"Yes, you kid didn't come back last night and didn't say a word. I was so worried that I didn't sleep well all night. At this time, my mother also opened the door."
