C108 (1/2)
Although she had not personally tried it before, it was fortunate that in her previous life, she had once gone back to her maternal grandma's home during the new year. Her grandma had also killed New Year pigs, and the family had started making sausages and blood sausages. She had seen that process before, mimicking a normal person's actions wouldn't be a bad idea.
It was better to be moved than to act!
Tian Yuqiao was in charge of pushing the handle of the enema device, while Lady Wang helped to add meat to the tube.
”Brother Xiao'er, when this is about a foot long, you should tie a knot with this hemp rope.”
Yuan Su nodded his head heavily. He liked this kind of thing the most. They were all children after all. Although he might not be able to eat this sausage, but the process of making it was also quite interesting.
Yutang and Yuan Tong used their small hands to help the pig intestines, so that they wouldn't wrinkle up.
Everyone moved their hands up and down, and very quickly, they finished drinking up a large pig's intestine. It was followed by a second one, but this time it was done with ease. There would be no chaos like before.
The family coordinated very well and quickly used up all of the pig intestines, yet the little guys still looked as if they were not done yet.
Gold was jumping up and down on the sidelines, occasionally sneaking in to pick up some raw meat stuffing that had fallen from the ground.
Looking at the large bowl full of sausages, Tian Yuqiao actually felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment.
”Mom, this is called sausage. In a while, it will be cooked in a big pot. After drying it, you can cut it into pieces and put it on a plate to eat.”
After Tian Yuqiao finished speaking, he used a thin bamboo stick to stab a few holes in each sausage.
”Qiao'er, what are you doing?” Mrs. Wang asked, puzzled.
”Mom, this is to prevent the intestines from bubbling.” Tian Yuqiao smiled.
When Yuan Zhou had tied the hemp rope, Tian Yuqiao had purposely left a gap for him. This way, although the sausage would expand when it was cooked, it would not cause his intestines to burst.
Tian Yuqiao remembered that her mother had explained it to her. Fortunately, she had remembered it all.
Yuan Zhou went to the backyard and brought some firewood over. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he didn't want to use the firewood in the woodshed. After all, they were for emergency use when it was not convenient to leave.
The water in Lady Wang's large pot had already been boiled, and a bamboo curtain had already been placed on top of it.
She carefully carried the sausages to the bamboo curtain and set them all up evenly before covering the pot with the lid.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the fragrance had already permeated the air, causing Jin Dabao to stare at the big pot, wishing that he could immediately get into it.
Even Tian Yuqiao could not help but lick her lips as she revealed an expression that a child of her age should have.
Mrs Wang saw the children's performance and could not help but smile.
When the time was almost up, Tian Yuqiao lifted the lid of the wok and poked the sausage with a thin bamboo stick. She felt that the sausage was almost ready and did not let out any water, so she asked Mrs Wang to carry the sausage down.
”It's done. We can eat it when it's cold.” Tian Yuqiao smiled as she licked the bamboo stick that was tied to the sausage.
”Sis, let me have a try too.” The little guy was also anxious to get it.
