Su Qingluan looked at the two younger ones and asked, "How is it? Is it not as bitter as you think?"
Su Xueyan raised her little face from the bowl, her little mouth was shiny with food: "Sister, this sauerkraut is delicious! It's better than the previous sauerkraut! The previous sauerkraut was bitter!"
Su Qingluan thought for a while and realized: It should be that the Su family didn't have any extra money to buy thick pork belly before, so they could only use a little oil, or even a lot of oil.
In this case, the sauerkraut cannot absorb the surrounding oil, so the sour taste is particularly obvious. Children have much more sensitive tastes than adults, so they may confuse the "sour" taste with the bitter taste.
So she smiled and reached out to touch Su Xueyan's little head: "Xueyan likes pickled vegetables like this, how about we do this in the future?"
Yang laughed at the side and said: "Da Ya, no wonder you think so because you have no memory. In winter, it is difficult for us to leave the village, especially if it snows heavily, the snow will almost reach our knees. Occasionally there will be some Even though he is young, he can even reach his waist - a little guy like San Ya'er can disappear even if he falls into a snowdrift!"
Hearing this sentence, Su Xueyan covered her mouth in surprise. Even Su Qingluan was very surprised: This is the first year since she time traveled. Although she knew that winter was not easy, she didn't know to what extent. What specific concept - after all, she had lived in a building with heating in her previous life, and freezing to death in winter was too far away for her.
"There are a few families in the village who raise pigs," Ms. Yang then sighed, "but usually at this time they either kill them and sell them for money, or they use old sows to breed piglets and they are not available outside. Go, where is the pork for everyone to eat in winter?"
Su Qingluan smiled and said: "Even if there is no fat, just refine the lard and put it in the blanket. The weather is cool now and the lard will not go bad for a long time. Then it will be good to stew sauerkraut." .”
What's more, in winter, if it really snows to the point of covering people's knees as Yang said, what this level of snow represents must be a temperature far below zero.
In other words, in winter, the entire climate of nature is like a large natural refrigerator. A lot of food is placed in ice and snow, and it is estimated that it can stay fresh for a month or two - as long as the food is not stored in a place exposed to sunlight.
But this is easy to do, as long as you dig a cellar at random - not to mention, there is a ready-made cellar in the back garden of the Su family, but it is not that big.
"Auntie, I'll have another bowl!" Su Xuanhe held up the empty bowl, but Su Guangfu slapped it back with chopsticks: "How old are you, don't you know how to serve rice? You can serve as much as you want, no leftovers!"
When Su Xuanhe came back with the rice, Su Qingluan teased: "It seems that you really like eating this pickled cabbage stew. I rarely see you adding rice after eating a full bowl."
Su Xuanhe said angrily: "I'm like 'I'll get drunk now if I have wine'. Since we can't eat pork in winter, we should eat as much as possible while we can."
Su Qingluan sneered: "Why, if you eat more today, you won't have to eat tomorrow?"
"Tch, I call this 'Tie Qiu Fat', okay?" Su Xuanhe curled his lips at Sister and picked up another piece of pork belly.
The plump flesh shone with a pale golden light under the dim light, making it look very attractive. Su Xuanhe swallowed it all in one gulp and glanced at Su Qingluan with a disgusting expression.
However, the next moment, he was slapped in the face by his little sister: "Brother, you still went to school. Didn't the teacher give it to you? It was just the beginning of autumn when we were 'posting autumn fat'. It's early now." That’s it!”
"Hmph, little girl, let's have yours!" As he said that, Su Xuanhe gave his sister a piece of blood tofu.
Both Su Xuanhe and Su Xueyan were eating blood tofu for the first time. They didn't even know what the black and red "red sausage" was.
So the two little guys didn't touch this "unidentified object" before.
Seeing that there was an extra piece of blood sausage in her bowl, Su Xueyan instinctively didn't like this dark thing out of the standpoint of "appearance control", she frowned slightly and pulled at the blood sausage: "Sister, is this delicious? It’s so dark and scary…”
Su Qingluan smiled and said: "Sister, I have never made anything 'unpalatable' before. They are all for eating anyway, so why not try them first? If you can't eat them, just throw them to me."
With Su Qingluan's "safety" guarantee, Su Xueyan happily picked up the piece of blood tofu in the bowl and took a small bite.
In fact, it was a prank that Su Xuanhe gave his sister blood sausage. After all, he had never eaten it and was very cautious about such dark things - in short, he was too timid to eat it.
Su Xueyan didn't know her brother's "evil intentions" behind his back, so she carefully chewed the blood sausage in her mouth - although she didn't know what the food in her mouth was.
After a while, Su Qingluan asked: "How is it? Does it taste bad?"
Su Xueyan shook her head: "It doesn't taste bad, it's very fragrant. It's like eating firmer tofu, but it's smoother than tofu, and you can also taste the meaty flavor that tofu doesn't have - the taste of beans in tofu is so strong. "As he said this, he wrinkled his little nose subconsciously.
Su Qingluan smiled and said: "You still describe it quite aptly." In fact, the method of making blood tofu in the previous life was similar to that of stuffing blood sausage. In a sense, Su Xueyan really got it right.
"But..." The little girl slowly spit out the casing of the blood sausage, "The 'rind' of this intestine is not delicious. It feels like you are eating something very hard..."
Su Qingluan burst into laughter when he heard this: "That's not for food, you don't have to eat it."
Su Xuanhe saw that his sister was enjoying the food, and he was a little eager to try it. He carefully tasted the blood sausage, and it was indeed delicious and delicious. It had the delicate taste of tofu, but did not have the beany smell of tofu. Instead, it had a rich aroma of meat and spices such as onion and ginger.
And with the sauerkraut as a backdrop, the originally greasy and fishy blood tofu becomes even more refreshing.
"Sister, what is this? It's so delicious!" Su Xueyan asked.
"It's red and black. It's not in the water, right? It's like pig belly in the water soup." Su Xuanhe guessed.
Su Qingluan weighed it up and didn't say "it's pig blood". After all, children are quite resistant to things like "blood", and objectively speaking, neither of the two little guys in the family are timid. The big one.
So in the end she just said vaguely: "Well, yes, more or less."
For the sake of her brother and sister's appetite, let her keep this little secret that's not really a secret - it's nothing important anyway, right?
Facts have proved that Su Qingluan's concerns were justified, because one day in the future, after the two of them knew what the "black tofu" they were eating was, they couldn't eat blood tofu for a while.
