Chapter 54: Make sausage

After grinding the medicinal materials to be used into the shape of rice, Lin Qingwan brought a small spoon and a bowl and began to make thirteen incense.
Digging some according to the proportion, Lin Qingwan mixed it together and stirred it evenly.
Seeing that the color was almost evenly blended, I dipped it with chopsticks and tasted it on the tip of my tongue.
Feeling the same, I licked it again and tasted it, and smacked my lips by the way.
When Lin Qingwan started to learn cooking in her life, she used thirteen incense for the first time because she didn't know if there was salt in it, so she tasted it specially. It's just that she tasted a flavor of seasoning at first, but she didn't feel anything else, just knew that there was no salt in this thing.
This time I tasted it and it didn't make much difference, but I couldn't tell whether it was right or not, so I should give it a try.
She pondered for a moment, then went to the cubicle to light the stove. I grabbed some meat that Yao’s sliced ​​into strips that hadn’t had time to cut into pieces, fried the onion, ginger, and garlic in the pan, then put the meat in, fry it as before, and finally put some of her ground thirteen incense.
Let the meat simmer in the pot for a while, and Lin Qingwan put it on the plate.
He drew his chopsticks, picked up a piece, fed it to Yao, and tasted one for himself.
Yao's was cutting meat, and when Lin Qingwan was feeding her something, he reflexively opened his mouth to eat.
As soon as I ate it, I realized that this thing was unusual. how to say? I didn't say that it was delicious, but I could swallow my tongue, but I felt that the meat was delicious and fragrant, and it had a taste that I couldn't usually eat.
Lin Qingwan tasted it and felt very satisfied. It seems that she did not waste her efforts.
My heart suddenly became excited, and there was some excitement. He took the plate and went to feed Yang Tiezhu to let him taste it.
Of course Yang Tiezhu said it was delicious. Even if Lin Qingwan feeds him a piece of mud, he will swallow it without changing his face and say it is delicious, not to mention that the stew is delicious.
He praised Lin Qingwan. Lin Qingwan smiled happily, but didn't stick to him either. She stuffed the plate into his hand to let him finish eating, and then went to grind the medicinal materials with great interest.
She just tried to grind out some medicinal materials. Since there is no wrong match, she must grind out all the remaining medicinal materials.
Lin Qingwan was very excited. Maybe Yao and Yang Tiezhu only saw her happiness, but she knew in her heart how excited her heart is now.
The things she knew in her previous life are useless here, and the only craft that can make money is the embroidery left to her by the original owner. Now it's a mistake because she started cooking at the beginning, and some of the things she learned can be practical, which has to make her feel excited and want to try.
Maybe, this thing can also make some money? ! After all, thirteen incense has a wide range of uses, such as bacon, dumpling stuffing, and sausages.
Although Lin Qingwan now has more than one hundred taels of savings in her hands, her life with two bedrooms and three bedrooms is not easy. It's okay now, but it's the money she saved from selling embroidery in her hand.
The silver is always used up in one day. Double-sided embroidery can only sell no more than three pieces a year. The family's land is only two acres. In the future, Yang Tiezhu doesn't want him to go up the mountain. What should I do in the future? And there is now a baby in her belly.
All these have to make Lin Qingwan feel a sense of crisis in her heart. No one does not want her life to be embarrassed and depressed, and so does her!
So she didn't let go of any chance, and found more ways to make a living for her family.
The reality is very difficult, so I can only use my brain.
However, it is still a bit early to make money, and the most important thing for her now is to make sausages.
When I think of sausages, Lin Qingwan feels that she is salivating again...
Yao had already cut all the meat, and Lin Qingwan began to marinate the meat for the sausage.
Put all the meat in a large clean basin, add soy sauce, salt, sugar, juice, thirteen incense, etc., and some specially purchased wine. Use chopsticks to stir well, and then put a cup of tea time.
When the meat was marinated, Lin Qingwan started filling sausages.
Put the casing under the small funnel. Lin Qingwan asked Yao to buy the funnel, which is the funnel used to make oil. Tie the bottom of the casing with a cotton thread and tie it with a clean basin. Then stuff the meat from the funnel into the casing. If the meat does not go in well, you can pound it with chopsticks, and pound the meat down with your hands from time to time. The filling is one foot long, and Yao's side is tied with the cotton thread prepared in advance from the middle.
Lin Qingwan had done it herself before, so she was very skilled. In a short while, there were many more sections of filled sausage in the basin.
Yao thought this approach was very novel, so he asked Lin Qingwan what it was.
Lin Qingwan smiled and said to her that this was cooking a kind of food called sausage.
Yao smacked his lips, feeling that this kind of food was too extravagant. Using so much meat, and wasting so much effort.
But seeing Lin Qingwan excited, she didn't say anything. She knew that the second sister-in-law would like to make some food from time to time, and she thought that the second sister-in-law now has a body, pregnant women are greedy, and always like to eat some weird things.
Yao bought almost twenty catties of meat, so he filled a lot of sausages, which just filled a pot.
After filling, Lin Qingwan took a needle, made some small holes in each section, and found a place to hang it.
There is no such thing as a hanger here, so Lin Qingwan asked Yao to find a bamboo pole and hang the sausages on the bamboo poles and put them on the beams.
The sausages were cooked, and Lin Qingwan's heart hung on it. Since the filled sausages need to be air-dried for a few days before they can be eaten, and it takes at least 3 or 5 days for the outer casings to dry, Lin Qingwan can only salivate at the sausages hanging over his head.
I like to look at my eyes when I’m fine, I also look at them when I’m eating, and even more when I’m sleeping.
Lin Qingwan felt that she was sad. Why can't the sausage be eaten after filling it? She has to wait a few days.
When Yang Tiezhu saw his daughter-in-law look at her sausage every day, he almost didn't kill himself.
I think my daughter-in-law is so cute, and gluttonous is so rare.

After waiting for a few more days, Lin Qingwan finally couldn't wait any longer. Seeing that the casing was almost air-dried, she took a few sections and steamed it.
The intestines of the sausage are still soft, but it has been air-dried for a few days and it is edible.
When cooking at noon, steam the sausage.
Lin Qingwan personally cut the steamed sausage into thin slices. In order to pay attention to good-looking, she also specially put a round shape when she installed the plate.
While eating, Lin Qingwan rubbed her hands in excitement and put the first piece into her mouth.
Um-it's the smell, it's because the drying time is too short, it's still a bit ‘la’.
Lin Qingwan suddenly felt tears in her eyes.
After she was moved, she found that everyone on the table was looking at her with a worried look. Even the two chicks looked at her suspiciously with chopsticks in their mouths.
Lin Qingwan smiled and greeted them all to eat.
"Hey-eat quickly, what are you looking at me for?" and put a few slices into a bowl for one person.
Watching a few people put the sausages in their mouths, they all speeded up their chewing movements.
She snorted very proudly, "It's delicious?!" Then she brought a small plate of chili oil carefully prepared by her, "A little bit of this is more delicious."
She had picked a lot of red peppers, dried them, grind them with the medicine, and fry them into a large bowl.
Lin Qingwan loves spicy, but the food here is not spicy, so she especially treasures this bowl of chili oil. Because Yang Tiezhu's body injury is still not healed, and the two Niuniu are still young and can't eat spicy food, Yao is not used to it, so she picks a little bit every time she eats and puts it on the meal.
Yang Tiezhu stretched out his chopsticks to dip it, Lin Qingwan patted his hand away.
"I have said it several times, you have injuries on your body, and you can't eat chili." I also explained to the two little girls that they can taste the taste, but they are very spicy. Children should eat less chili.
A large plate of sausages was cut and swept away by several people.
After eating, Yao slapped his mouth, "It is delicious, but it's too much meat."
The Yao family has become accustomed to being diligent and thrifty, and the He family has always been harsh when there was no separation, so he felt that eating this kind of meat was a bad thing.
Yang Tiezhu thought that his wife would like to eat it. Fei Rou will go back to the mountain to get some wild boars.
The poor child didn't know, Lin Qingwan had already put an end to the idea of ​​letting him go hunting in the mountains in the future. It is very difficult to go up the mountain to hunt.
"Yes, it's too much meat. But after this kind of thing is air-dried, it can be left for a long, long time. It will be fine next year. When you want to eat it, put bubbles in the water and steam it." Lin Qingwan is also full of face. Replied painfully.
If you are not in charge, you don’t know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive. This sausage is delicious, but it uses a lot of meat.
In my previous life, I didn’t think that after I came here, there weren’t any people in the countryside who would eat meat every meal. They could eat a few days after selling a catty of meat. However, if a pound of meat is replaced with sausage, it is estimated that one section will be filled, and there will be no more meal. And this thing is delicious, but it's not bad to drink.
"Just let it go, it can be put until next year, won't it be bad?" Yao's face was surprised.
The climate in Luoxia Village is very cold, and meat can be kept for a long time in winter. But it won't work after the spring, and it will break after a long time.
Lin Qingwan nodded and moved her heart, her eyes brightened as she thought about it.
"Sang-gong, third sibling, what do you think about selling this sausage in town?"
Yao's experience is not long, and he hesitates very much.
"Will someone buy this kind of food? How much does it cost?" Yao Shi also estimated that only one pound of meat can only be filled with about one section, so how much money must be sold to not lose money. No one wants to sell it too expensive, but to post money when it is cheaper.
Yang Tiezhu had different ideas. He often went to the town to sell prey for odd jobs, and he still had some understanding of the consumption level in the town. It's just that he is not sure whether he will sell the sausage made by his wife.
But he still made a suggestion, "I think it's definitely not good at the market. It's good to sell it in a restaurant. Generally, people who eat in a restaurant don't care how expensive this thing is."
Lin Qingwan thought about it for a while, and it seemed that she could take some and try it out in a restaurant in town.
It doesn't matter if it can't be sold, it's a big deal to eat at home. It is better to sell it, which is a big profit.

Lin Qingwan is an activist, and he is wherever he thinks.
She decided to go to town tomorrow, but Yao and Yang Tiezhu's persuasion for a long time was useless.
Later, Yao changed his method and decided to accompany her tomorrow. When I went there, I brought a thick cotton-padded jacket to pad, and let Lin Qingwan wear it thicker, so I wouldn't feel bumpy when riding in the bullock cart. The women in the country are very lively, and there are many who are still working in the field with their bodies, so there should be nothing wrong with them.
Yang Tiezhu thought about it, and even though Lin Qingwan looked thin, she had always been healthy since she was pregnant. The child probably felt sorry for his mother and didn't bother her, so he was relieved.
Early the next morning, Lin Qingwan and Yao went out.
Yao's hand is holding the basket, and inside it is Lin Qingwan's baby sausage, with an old quilted jacket from Yang Tiezhu on it.
Lin Qingwan was dressed thickly, wrapped like a zongzi, and walked next to the Yao family.
The two of them walked towards the place where the bullock cart was waiting. When they went out, Wang gave them a few special glances. Seeing nothing, I had to bow my head angrily to mix with pig food.
When the two arrived in town, Yang Tiezhu had already told them about the two larger restaurants in the town, so Lin Qingwan went straight to the goal.
There are two big restaurants in Luoyun Town, one is Zuixianju and the other is Manfulou.
Because Zuixianju was closer to them, Lin Qingwan decided to go to Zuixianju first.
It's still early, and Zui Xianju hasn't got the time to pick up passengers.
When Lin Qingwan and Yao Shi walked in, the lobby was very quiet, and only two juniors were cleaning.
One of them glanced at them, then lowered his head and continued to sweep his ground. The other junior straightened up to meet him.
Lin Qingwan and Yao didn't dress very well, dressed like a countrywoman. Both of them wore small jackets and pleated skirts inside, and another big cotton-padded jacket outside. Because the two young women went to the street alone, they both wore dark colors on the outside and covered their heads. Wearing a headkerchief, he is a few years old out of thin air.
The eyes of the second person who can do the patronage in the restaurant are very poisonous. The second person knows that they are not the guests who come to dinner.
"I don't know what's the matter with the two sisters?" Xiao Er's attitude was very polite, but there were doubts on his face. Can't figure out what the two women were doing in their Zuixianju in the morning.
Lin Qingwan first smiled politely at Xiao Er, "Little Brother, it's like this. I don't know if your shopkeeper is or not, the little lady made some strange food at home and wanted to sell it to you."
With that said, he took the basket in Yao's hand and wanted to show it to Xiao Er.
"Eating?" The little second blocked Lin Qingwan's movements, his face was respectful but full of rejection.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, we don't need any special food in the restaurant, and our shopkeeper is not there now, you see—"
Lin Qingwan understood what he meant, so she could only smile again, then retracted the raised basket and pulled Yao Shi to turn and walk out the door.
"Second Sister-in-law, it seems that this item is not easy to sell. Others don't even look at it." Yao said hesitantly, and the shopkeeper refused to recommend it without even the shopkeeper.
Lin Qingwan is also a little embarrassed. It seems that this kind of self-recommended food is not acceptable to others. But she has no other way. After all, she doesn't know the people in the restaurant, so she can only come to the door to sell.
She felt a little depressed, but Lin Qingwan didn't show it on the surface, but calmed the Yao family and took her to Manfulou together.
The lobby of Manfulou was also very cold at this time, and only a shopkeeper was wiping the tabletop.
I have to say that this kind of well-known big restaurants have a good attitude, and they greeted them as soon as they saw them.
Lin Qingwan explained her intentions as just now, but the shop Xiaoer was embarrassed to hear it completely.
"This sister-in-law, our shopkeeper is indeed there, but we don't accept food from outside here..."
Lin Qingwan couldn't, but took out a few copper plates prepared in advance in her sleeve and stuffed it.
"This little brother is bothering you. You can help. You see that our two women and women came from the village early in the morning. It is not easy to come here. You can recommend it to the shopkeeper. We will not succeed. thank you."
Lin Qingwan learned this trick that Cypriot benefited from TV in her life, and she didn't know whether it worked or not.
This junior is not very old, 16 or 7 years old. Seeing that the two women in front of them were polite and shy, they seemed to be in trouble, so they pushed Lin Qingwan's money back.
"Forget it, I will help you to ask questions, and I don't know if the shopkeeper will come. You will also take back the money. It's all people from the countryside who come to ask for a living. How am I embarrassed to take your money." After speaking, he turned around. Run inwards.
This little second listened to the speech as a countryman, so luckily he met a good talker.
Lin Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief, and stood with Yao and waited.
After a while, a middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper followed him out, and said while walking, "How much benefit did your kid receive from others? He insisted on pulling me over."
This shopkeeper is in his 40s, thin, with a goatee.
The little second smiled and said: "The shopkeeper, you really wronged me this time. It's not easy for me to see two women in the house. It's not that there is no way to live. How come two women come to sell their own things."
Lin Qingwan blushed immediately when she heard it, but when she thought about seeing the shopkeeper of the restaurant anyway, she cheered up and started to get along with the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was also quite talkative. Although his face was noncommittal, he decided to watch Lin Qingwan's food.
Lin Qingwan put the basket she brought on the table and lifted the cloth covered on it. From the inside, she took out a large bowl with slices of extremely thinly sliced ​​sausage.
The shopkeeper looked at the contents of the bowl. The bowl was a coarse porcelain bowl, and the pieces of red seemed to be food. There was no scent, so he looked embarrassed, thinking about how to refuse these two women later.
Of course, Lin Qingwan could see the shopkeeper's disapproval, but she still found a pair of chopsticks from the shop next to her. While handing it to the shopkeeper, he explained with a smile: "The shopkeeper, this is our own craft. Although it is not good looking, it tastes good. The most important thing is that it is very good for wine."
The shopkeeper held the chopsticks, after thinking about it, he took a slice and chewed it in his mouth.
Not to mention, although this unknown food does not smell any fragrance, it tastes really good. It is salty and sweet, delicious, full-bodied, and has a long aftertaste. The more you chew, the more fragrant it tastes.
The shopkeeper’s surname is Li, and Zuixianju is the ancestral business of their Li family for several lifetimes. At the beginning, it was only a low-end wine shop. It can develop under the hands of shopkeeper Li to become one of the largest restaurants in Luoyun Town. His vision and skill It can be said that they are all excellent.
So as soon as the thing entered, he knew that the woman in front of him was right, and it was indeed very suitable for drinking. He settled for a moment, and then asked, "What is your name?"
Lin Qingwan was taken aback, after thinking for a while, she said, "Going back to this shopkeeper, this thing is called Laweixian."
After speaking, Lin Qingwan also admired herself in her heart. Can quickly come up with a full and nice name in a few seconds, and the name really fits the stuff of sausage.
The reason why Lin Qingwan didn't call the name of the sausage, but chose one by herself, the biggest purpose is not to let people guess what the sausage is made of.
Seeing the face of the shopkeeper, she knew that there was a good deal of business, and she still wanted to make some money from this thing.
Shopkeeper Li touched his beard, "Lamei is delicious, a good name! But what is Lamei?"
Lin Qingwan's complexion is a bit dry, can I tell you I just want to make some money from this ‘la-mei’? Tell you what am I messing with?
But after thinking about it, she still replied: "Lamei is the delicious flavor of this lamei. Didn't the shopkeeper think its taste is special?"
Shopkeeper Li tasted the taste in his mouth and nodded, it was indeed very special. Then he asked: "Then I don't know how much this thing is worth?"
"This Lamei Xian is calculated by catty, 60 wen per catty."
After Yao came from the shopkeeper Li, he stood there with his head down. She is timid and timid by nature, and she dared not raise her head when she met a foreigner who spoke. At this moment, I heard the price quoted by my sister-in-law, and my face was drooping in surprise. But she didn't understand the market, and didn't interrupt.
Lin Qingwan didn't feel that her price was high. First, this thing is rare and no one else would do it. Have you never heard that exclusive things are valuable? Second, after working hard for so long, it yielded more than ten catties after air-drying. Is it interesting if the price is not high? What's more, it also contains her exclusive seasoning "Thirteen Fragrance".
Although the pork is about 12 liters per catty now, but with the condiments inside, the handwork, and after being blow-dried, it will be weighed more or less. Lin Qingwan really feels that it is not expensive at this price.
Of course, she also earned a lot.
Shopkeeper Li frowned, and it was nothing by the catty, but he didn't know what the original thing was, and he still had to calculate whether he could make money after paying the price.
Of course, Lin Qingwan understood Li's storekeeper's concerns, and she lifted a layer of cloth inside the basket, revealing sections of steamed sausage.
"Look at the shopkeeper, this is Lamei Xian." She took the piece of cloth and carefully wrapped a piece and took it out. "Such a piece is a pound. Of course there must be light and heavy in the middle, but it's the same. Such a section You can cut it into about one or two plates and sell them. I think that for such a good dish, the price of one plate is definitely more than 60 cents."
Shopkeeper Li looked at the sausage section and knew it in his heart. I feel that the woman in front of me can indeed speak and understand. Almost all the issues he has considered are well thought out, and he can't make him want to.
"Well, how many do you have now?"
Lin Qingwan smiled and said, "The little lady only brought ten jin here. I wonder if the shopkeeper can finish it here?"
When the shopkeeper Li thought, ten catties were not too much, only 600 yuan. Moreover, he thinks that this Lamei Xian is really good for the current wine and dishes. You can try to sell it in the restaurant. After all, many customers complain that there are too few wines and dishes. They are just the same when they eat and eat. It is OK to change the mouth occasionally. .
"That's OK, we want it in Manfulou."
Lin Qingwan smiled happily and asked Xiao Er to weigh the basket in her hand. Then he opened his mouth and said to shopkeeper Li: "This shopkeeper really thank you. If the shopkeeper thinks this item is good for sale, the little lady can make some more."
Shopkeeper Li nodded, "My surname is Li, you can call me Shopkeeper Li. If this savory flavor is indeed selling well, how can I contact you?"
Lin Qingwan wanted to tell him the specific location of the family, but when she thought about the appearance of the rest of the Yang family, she dismissed the idea.
