I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life

The three of them drove a bullock cart and returned home with a cart full of things.

After arriving home, everything was the same as usual. After unloading the things from the ox cart, Xu the hunter went to return the cart, and the others packed up the things they had taken down. Xu Congyi asked his grandmother and mother to put the packed pig hearts, livers and lungs in a basin and soak them in water to remove the blood, and put the pig intestines and stomachs in another basin and soak them.

Xu Congyi was in charge of preparing the marinade bags when she returned to the house. When she was packing the medicine bags for Grandpa Shen, she bought some extra oil paper from the space and put it in the backpack, and planned to use the oil paper to pack the marinade bags when she came back.

She demonstrated with the marinade packets she prepared in her space. This was because she had referred to the recipes of several food bloggers when preparing the marinade, and had also used a gram scale at home when preparing the marinade. She couldn't remember the specific proportions, so she could only weigh them again to calculate the proportions. Since she had to use a gram scale, she had to do it indoors.

After Xu Congyi finished calculating in the space, he flashed out of the space and put each spice in proportion to make a marinade package. Although two or three spices were not available in this era, Xu Congyi thought it would not have much impact.

I mixed the spices in the basket one by one, buying only one pound of each and no more. I mixed out more than 30 packets of marinade. Because the ingredients were in proportion, some of the spices that were less used were left over, and they can be used for marinating meat or making fried sauce in the future.

The pig offal had to be soaked in blood for a while, and the pig heads were chopped in half at the restaurant, washed and brought back. In addition, the pig heads needed longer time to be braised, so Xu Congyi decided to cook the pig heads first. Wild boars are not big, and their heads are not as big as modern domestic fat pigs. The Xu family is large and naturally has a big appetite. Xu Congyi planned to use the big pot in the Xu family's kitchen. She used the pig heads to demonstrate and found that she could barely braise both pig heads.

First put the pig's head into the pot and blanch it. Xu's mother and Li Dahua assisted. They couldn't help Xu Congyi make sugar or sugar-fried chestnuts, but they were very skilled in cooking.

The fire in the stove was burning brightly. After skimming off the foam, Xu Congyi threw in some green onions and ginger, poured in soy sauce, and added salt and a bag of marinade. Because there were two pig heads, Xu Congyi put two bags of marinade in. Then he covered the pot and let it simmer.

"Okay, now just wait for it to cook. When you can poke the pig's head through with a chopstick, it's done."

"So simple?" Li Dahua asked in surprise. Except for the step of adding the marinade packet, the rest was the same as she usually did when stewing meat.

"Mom, don't underestimate this marinade. When it's cooked, you and grandma will try it and you'll know it's delicious!" Xu Congyi said in an exaggerated manner.

"Okay, I'm waiting to taste it." Li Dahua smiled and patted Xu Congyi's little head.

While waiting for the pig's head to be cooked, Xu Congyi and his grandmother and mother made some dough, intending to bake it into pancakes as their main meal in the evening.

The meat was stewing in the pot, and the fire was turned off and the noodles were simmering in the pot. Xu's mother and Li Dahua urged Xu Congyi to go back to her room to sleep for a while. It would have been better if she didn't say it. After she said it, Xu Congyi yawned loudly. She did get up very early today and did a lot of work, so she didn't refuse and turned back to her bedroom.

Lying in bed, Xu Congyi set an alarm for herself for forty minutes. She was afraid that she would sleep too long at noon and would not be able to sleep at night.

Maybe he was really tired, and Xu Congyi fell asleep after a while.

When the alarm clock rang, Xu Cong stretched comfortably. She had a very good sleep and felt much more energetic.

He got out of bed and walked into the kitchen, opened the lid of the pot, and poked the pig's head with chopsticks. It was not cooked yet, so Xu Congyi used a spatula and chopsticks to turn the two pigs' heads over and continued to cook them. He then scooped a spoonful of soup with a spoon to taste the saltiness. It felt a bit bland, so he added two spoonfuls of salt.

By the time Xu Congwen and Xu Cong'an both came back from school, the pig's head was ready. They removed a few sticks of firewood, leaving a little fire on the stove to warm the meat. Xu Congyi took out the fermented white flour and prepared to make steamed buns.

There was no baking powder in that era, and yeast was needed to make dough. Therefore, the dough was slightly sour and needed alkali to neutralize the sourness. Xu Congyi was not good at this, so he gave it to Li Dahahua to do it. Xu Congyi lit another stove on the side and prepared to make pancakes.

There were many people eating, so a lot of dough was needed. Xu evenly divided the dough into 20 equal parts, kneaded it into a water drop shape, rolled it out, rolled it up, flattened it, and rolled it into a round shape. There was no need to add oil to the pan, and the dough was directly placed on the pan to bake. Xu's mother and Li Dahua also followed her example and made dough into dough. With more people, more power, and soon all the dough was in the pan.

Xu Congyi asked his grandmother and mother to watch over the pancakes while he prepared the meat. After more than an hour of stewing, the meat was already very mushy. When Xu Congyi lifted the lid of the pot, Xu Congan, who was outside the kitchen, couldn't wait to come in and taste it first. But Xu's mother sent her grandson out and asked him to help wash the picked vegetables.

Xu Congyi first cut off the pig's ears, cut them into shreds and added shredded green onions and cucumbers, then poured soy sauce, vinegar and other seasonings on them to make cold shredded ears. Then he removed some meat from the pig's face and chopped it up to make roujiamo. However, Xu Congyi did not chop all the meat into pieces. Instead, he chose to chop half of it and cut the other half into thick slices with the lean part and pig skin. He also left some meat on the bones and did not shave it off completely. After all, gnawing the meat with the bones is a kind of pleasure when eating meat.

Xu Congyi stuffed the chopped meat into the baked pancake and poured the soup on it. The Roujiamo was ready. She only made one for each person, a total of seven. If it was not enough, you could use the steamed bread to stuff it yourself. You could decide how much meat to put in it. Xu Congyi did not find green peppers and coriander at the market. She liked the version with green peppers and coriander the most. She had these in the refrigerator in her space. She had secretly left a steamed bun and a small bowl of minced meat, planning to eat them in the space at night.

Xu's mother fried a large dish of vegetables that her grandson had washed. Although there was no concept of combining meat and vegetables for nutritious meals in this era, Xu's mother also knew that although meat alone was good, if children ate too much at once, they would have stomach upset due to a lot of oil and water in their stomachs.

When the vegetables, meat and staple food were served on the table, all the Xu family members were excited. They drooled at the smell. Old man Xu was the first to pick up the chopsticks and start eating. Seeing his grandfather move his chopsticks, Xu Cong'an couldn't wait to pick up a piece of shiny and oily pig head with skin, opened his mouth and took a bite. It was crispy and tender, and the taste lingered in his mouth. He couldn't help but praise it.

"Sister, this meat is so delicious. I have never eaten such delicious meat!"

After that, he took another bite of Roujiamo. When he chewed, juice gushed out of the meat, and his mouth was full of the aroma of noodles and meat. It was a unique taste.

Before long, all the food on the large plates was eaten up, even the steamed buns were gone. The two pig heads were cut into four halves in total, and Xu Congyi took three halves, which was just enough for the whole family. The remaining half was saved to be cut into slices tomorrow, and the broth could also be used to cook noodles.

Xu Congyi didn't eat much because he was going to eat roujiamo when he returned to the space in the evening. He just picked up a few pieces of pig ears with chopsticks. While marveling at the fighting power of the Xu family, Xu Congyi was glad that he had saved the meat and buns in advance, otherwise if he waited for the leftovers, there would be nothing left.
