Chapter 487: 487 That time being caught by a bear
“People might not be that strong normally, but when their life is in danger, they can suddenly become very powerful.” He moved his lips, wanting to ask her if she minded the scar on his left face…
Su Qingyue thought it was best not to mess with the second brother. It wasn’t that she was afraid of his brute strength, but respected it.
She took a seat in front of the foot basin and picked up a pair of pig’s large intestines from the basket. She then used scissors to trim off the fat on the outside of the intestines.
He hesitated for a moment, unable to ask, and instead said, “Yue’er, do you need to cut off the fat while washing the pig intestines?”
“Of course, how can you wash it clean otherwise? How do the villagers wash it?”
“They usually just rinse it by filling it with water from the inside out. Clean families rinse it multiple times.”
“No wonder. If that’s the case, no matter how many times you rinse, it would still have a smell.” She said, “Rinsing with water is correct, but you need a chopstick to push the outer skin inside out from the intestine opening. As for lazy people like me…”
She picked up her scissors and cut along the intestine, “just cut it open. Then, add some flour and salt to the basin, mix with a bit of water, and rub the pig’s intestines thoroughly. When it gets sticky, that’s about enough.”
She demonstrated as she spoke, “After rinsing under clean water, rub once more with cooking wine and a bit of water, and rinse clean again. If there’s no cooking wine, white vinegar can be used instead. With this treatment, I guarantee your stir-fried pig intestines will have no smell.”
The master bedroom window facing the backyard was also open, and both Xiao Qinghe and Xiao Yuchuan initially wondered why their wife had bought so many useless pig offal.
Stir-frying it was so stinky that they couldn’t swallow. There was no need to eat such disgusting food at home now.
But the two of them knew that she must have her reasons for doing so.
Now listening to her, they understood.
If the stir-fried pig offal had no smell, using expensive ingredients like salt and flour was still much cheaper than meat.
“Flour, salt, cooking wine, and white vinegar are all precious.” Xiao Yishan said, “No one is willing to spend such valuable items on washing pig offal. No wonder pig offal is so cheap and stinky.”
“Exactly,” agreed Su Qingyue. “If it’s not cheap, how can it be called offal? I’m going to stir-fry all the pig’s large intestines tomorrow, then sell it in town along with the meat on the bones. Ordinary people still don’t know how to process pig offal, so our house should be able to sell it for a while. Just don’t go telling other people how to properly handle offal.”
Xiao Yuchuan said from the room, “Don’t worry, wife. No one in our family is stupid, and we won’t tell anyone. I see the bones in the basket have been cleaned of meat, where can you get more meat to scrape off?”
Su Qingyue had explained it to the second brother before and didn’t mind saying it again. “Boil the bones first, and you can scrape off the bits of meat.”
“Wife, you really have a flexible brain!” Xiao Yuchuan’s eyes were filled with admiration, as he winked at her playfully.
Su Qingyue felt a tingling sensation all over her body from his gaze. This shameless guy, hitting on her in broad daylight!
Xiao Qinghe called out to the window, “Second brother, can you come inside for a moment?”
Seeing that it wasn’t her, Su Qingyue lowered her head and continued washing the pig intestines with swift movements.
Xiao Yishan entered the master bedroom, and Yuchuan, carrying a desk, sat down beside Su Qingyue.
