The cabbage stewed pork meal that Su Qingluan had during the day actually tasted a lot worse than the one she made, but it brought out Su Qingluan's greediness - the weather was getting colder and colder, and there were also pickled sauerkraut at home. , counting the days, it’s almost time.
There are also people in the village who pickle sauerkraut, but the pickling method is somewhat different from the Northeastern pickled sauerkraut that Su Qingluan learned in her previous life. It is more like the pickling method of Laotan sauerkraut in the south. Because of this, Su Qingluan pickled a few of both kinds at the beginning.
But when it comes to "big stew", the more authentic sauerkraut is naturally the Northeastern way of pickling sauerkraut.
Pickled cabbage is the same thing as bamboo shoots - it washes oil very well. If the soup base were not rich in fat, no matter whether it was sauerkraut or bamboo shoots, it would feel astringent, and it would feel like there were countless little thorns growing on it when you eat it.
So Su Qingluan thought that there would be a big market in three days. She spent the morning to see if she could go to the market and buy some fresh pork. Although the butchers also had pork, it was never fat enough. What Su Qingluan wants is the "fat pork belly" near the lower abdomen of the pig. The meat here is not only distinct in layers, but also thicker than the pork belly in other places. It is an ideal part for stewing sauerkraut.
Su Qingluan made up her mind to work with everyone as usual the next day.
But she soon discovered that everyone was much more enthusiastic about work and more conscious. If someone in the same group is lazy, everyone will take the initiative to encourage and supervise each other.
As the shopkeeper of "Su Ji", Su Qingluan now only needs to control the direction and quality at critical moments. Most of the time, he does not need to do it himself, he only needs to supervise from the side.
The same is true for Liu Yuniang as Su Qingluan's assistant - her role will only be most effective when someone is causing trouble, and usually she only needs to supervise the work and collect the accounts.
So the two of them let the people below work step by step, and the two of them had free time in the town while shopping and chatting.
"How are the preparations for the water stall at Uncle Liu's side?" Su Qingluan asked, "Can his legs support him for standing for most of the day?"
"No problem. My dad has been trying to stand at home all day these days. Except for some soreness in his legs, there are no other major problems." Liu Yunniang looked a little relieved, "Finally, my dad can stand up again. Even if he can't fly over the walls as before, as long as he can stay out of bed, he can always get over it on his own."
Sometimes it is not the pain that destroys people, but the hopeless waiting and sympathy from others - because that means that there is no way to save the disease.
Su Qingluan nodded: "I have prepared the spices according to the proportions. I will also write you the specific steps on how to cook the stewed soup. I prepared the amount for five days at a time. You can come and get the stewed ingredients every five days. Just bring me the spices I need to buy along the way."
Liu Yunniang nodded when she heard this, and then looked at Su Qingluan, somewhat hesitant to speak.
Su Qingluan naturally knew what Liu Yunniang wanted to say: even though Su Qingluan gave the Liu family the original marinade and the detailed cooking method, some people felt that even if the recipe was the same, the taste would be different if the cook was changed.
What's more, if the Su family doesn't come forward, Yagyu alone can't prove that the sewer soup he sells is "authentic from the Su family".
Su Qingluan said with a smile: "There will be a big market in three days. I am going to buy some pork and go home to stew sauerkraut. I will definitely drink a bowl of sesame soup that morning!"
Liu Yuniang immediately smiled when she heard this. She understood that the real reason why Su Qingluan went to drink a bowl of sewer soup was to support Liu Sheng.
She wanted to say "thank you", but Liu Yunniang always felt that these two words were a bit too light, so she just shook Su Qingluan's wrist hard.
But he said that because everyone's enthusiasm for work has increased unprecedentedly due to the round of "welfare" payments, Su Qingluan doesn't have to be as observant as before to see if someone is cutting corners.
But this was just what she wanted - on the day of the big party, Su Qingluan originally planned to buy pork belly and make friends with Mr. Yang, but he went back to work immediately.
But in this way, she doesn't have to be so nervous. She can just go back near the end of work in the afternoon to check on the work progress of each group.
The Liu family moved their stall to the place where the Su family originally opened their water stall, and as expected, it received the attention of Shouhou'er and Aunt Yang. As for Yagyu, who originally had a good temper when traveling in the world, the three of them quickly got along very well with each other.
And with Su Qingluan, the "little shopkeeper" of the Su family, ensuring that the taste remained the same as before, there were a lot more customers coming here to drink the soup.
After Su Qingluan completed the "advertising task", she went to the butcher who slaughtered the pork - Yang was already waiting.
At this time, another pig was being slaughtered freshly.
In ancient times, there was no automated assembly line for slaughtering livestock, and people were not shy about it. Rather, in the context of an era that lacked entertainment activities in ancient times, even activities such as "Caishikou beheading" were regarded as "beheadings at Caishikou" in a sense. "It's lively", so slaughtering animals has no fear for most people, only curiosity.
Su Qingluan was thinking of something else: freshly slaughtered fire pigs? That……
She approached the stall owner and asked: "Uncle, does anyone want your pig blood?"
"Pig's blood?" The butcher with a face full of flesh looked up and saw that it was Su Qingluan. He said with a smile, "Hey, isn't this Madam Su? Even if someone else wants pig blood, based on what you said, Madam Su, they will have it." I’ll keep it for you, right?”
There was a reason why the butcher was so "gentle and gentle" to Su Qingluan.
Before the Su family started selling offal soup, pig offal was a scrap that everyone despised. It couldn't be sold and had to be eaten by the butcher's family.
However, the special smell of offal is always hard to swallow, so even the butcher himself doesn't like eating these things.
But the Su family's offal soup has gradually turned these leftovers into "spicy meat". Killing a few more pigs and selling more offal in a day will be a big income. To them, the Su family is not like the God of Wealth? What’s wrong with being so nice and nice to the God of Wealth?
Although Yang was surprised when she heard that Su Qingluan wanted pig blood, she knew that according to her eldest daughter's usual personality, she was probably thinking about what to eat.
Sure enough, Su Qingluan bought all the pig intestines and cut off a thick piece of pork belly. She turned around and said to Yang in a hurry: "Mom, let's go back first? Otherwise, I'm afraid it will take too long. The pig’s blood is clumping together.”
Saying that, without waiting for Yang's agreement, he ran home without stopping.
Yang was running behind, dumbfounded, chasing after her: "Why are you so impatient, girl? Wait a minute! Don't fall!"
