Chapter 527 Sausage Stuffing
Zheng Sisi explained seriously: "Put these in the room to dry for a day, then take them to the courtyard and hang them above the stove, so that the smoke from cooking can smoke them."
At this moment, everyone could only nod their heads repeatedly: "Princess, do you want to send it over tomorrow?"
Zheng Sisi thought for a moment and replied, "Of course, but there are too many to store in the compound. And the longer the smoking time, the better the taste. I'll think of other ways later."
After finishing the affairs here, Zheng Sisi hurried back to the place where the bacon was pickled.
The workers here were busy as always. There were already several barrels of pickled meat. Zheng Sisi watched from the side for a while and did not find any mistakes in the operation.
She came to the place where the pigs' offal were kept, and these things were also washed clean. She cleaned out the pig lungs and kidneys separately and would take them back to the compound later to be used as a dish in the evening after they were braised.
She also planned to make pork kidneys and liver into cured meat. Seeing the pig intestines, Zheng Sisi ordered the workers to leave half of the pork out and mince it to make sausages. Upon hearing the princess's order, three or four people immediately started to mince the meat.
"The meat paste should not be too finely divided, small particles will be fine." Zheng Sisi said.
Watching several people chopping on the chopping board with their kitchen knives dancing quickly, Zheng Sisi felt that they were indeed strong enough to work.
Similarly, Zheng Sisi took a packet of five-spice powder and salt and sprinkled them into the meat paste, asked the workers to mix it evenly, and then taught them how to make sausages.
Zheng Sisi picked up a washed pig intestine, tied one end of it tightly, and used a funnel to slowly pour the seasoned meat paste into the intestine.
She pressed gently while filling the intestines to ensure that the meat paste evenly filled the entire pig intestine. The workers gathered around and carefully observed Zheng Sisi's operation, asking questions from time to time.
"Princess, why do you have to make so many holes on it?"
"Princess, why do you have to tie it up into sections with thread?"
Zheng Sisi patiently answered the workers' questions, which was also helpful for their subsequent work.
After some effort, sausages filled with meat paste appeared in front of them. Zheng Sisi told the workers that they would hang the sausages in the sun for a while to let them dry naturally, so that the sausages would taste better.
The workers nodded to show that they understood. They began to follow Zheng Sisi's instructions and hang the stuffed sausages in a well-ventilated place to dry. Looking at the sausages they made with their own hands, the workers' faces were filled with satisfied smiles.
Time passed quickly in the busy work. In the blink of an eye, it was already noon. Zheng Sisi looked at the sky, then looked at the workers, and then said loudly: "It's time to call it a day! It's time to eat!" When the workers heard this, they stopped their work, started to pack up their tools, and prepared to eat.
Zheng Sisi returned to the compound with some processed ingredients. After this morning, she felt exhausted, but also very satisfied. After all, she had taught the workers everything they needed to know, and as long as they followed the plan, nothing should go wrong.
As for pickling bacon and making fermented bean curd, they both need time to ferment slowly and will enter the next stage in about the next week.
After lunch, Zheng Sisi brought Laba beans and fermented bean curd to the tofu shop as she said. She knew that the workers still had some doubts about her craftsmanship, so she brought these two foods to dispel their concerns.
When everyone saw the two plates of food in front of them, they couldn't believe their eyes. The Laba beans were bright in color, without any white fluff growing on them, but sprinkled with chili powder and ginger, giving off an alluring aroma.
The fermented tofu is cut into small square pieces and wrapped with a layer of chili peppers, which looks very delicious.
Zheng Sisi smiled and picked up a few pairs of chopsticks, handed them to the workers, and asked them to try it.
The workers took the chopsticks with joy, but they didn't know how to enjoy the food. They could only stare at the two plates of mouth-watering delicacies in front of them.
"Fermented tofu is a great accompaniment to our breakfast porridge and steamed buns. Because it is a bit salty, one piece of fermented tofu can save you two bowls of rice. But when you try it, don't eat too much at once, otherwise it will be too salty and choke your throat." Zheng Sisi explained with a smile.
Everyone laughed so hard when they heard what Zheng Sisi said, and when they saw that there were only six pieces of fermented tofu on the plate, they carefully stretched out their chopsticks, gently picked up a small piece and put it into their mouths.
