A time-travel story of a peasant girl getting rich

After lunch. "Mom, boil the water, blanch the pork skin, and then wash it clean." Wang did as she was told.

"Mom, scrape off the white oil on this."

"Don't want any of it?" In Wang's mind, the only valuable thing about this pig skin was the fat stuck on it.

"No, then cut it into small thin strips, preferably thinner than stir-fried radish strips."

Wang:......

"Mom, take some salt and scrub the pig skin, then soak it in warm water for a while."

"I have already washed it very clean, why do I need salt? Xiaomi, salt is expensive!" Wang was reluctant. Who dares to use salt to wash things? But she couldn't resist Xiaomi's pestering, so she still used a little salt to scrub the pig skin.

The last step is the boiling part. The amount of water is completely based on her feeling. If there is more water, just boil it for a while. Add ginger and scallions and boil over low heat.

"Mom, I'll watch the fire, you go and do something else." This is a slow job, just watch the fire, Lin Xiaomi can do it.

Lin Dashan built a chicken coop and went to chop firewood. Wang picked up the shoulder pole and also went up the mountain.

Xiaomi was alone at home, watching the fire and slowly cooking this pot of pork skin jelly. It was not comfortable to sit in front of the stove on such a hot day. But thinking about the money, she still endured it. Now that it was hot, she believed that an appetizer like pork skin jelly would be a big hit.

As time passed, the water in the pot slowly blended with the pork skin. When the soup became thick and combined with the pork skin, Lin Xiaomi turned off the fire and added a little coarse salt for seasoning.

It was not until sunset when Lin Dashan and his wife came home that they poured the pig skin jelly into the basin.

"Dad, can you fetch some well water and keep it cold? We'll eat this jelly tomorrow." The main reason is that the well water is cold, which is more conducive to the solidification of the pig skin jelly. This time, she didn't know whether it would be able to be frozen, so she just relied on her feeling to decide how much water to add.

"Okay." Lin Dashan picked up the shoulder pole and bucket and went to the village to fetch water.

Although he didn't know what his daughter was doing, she never wasted anything over the years.

For dinner, I had meat buns brought back from the county town, a big bowl of vegetable soup, and a serving of brown rice.

"This meat bun is so delicious." This was Wang's first time eating a meat bun. She felt that it was the most delicious thing in the world. Apart from being delicious, she had no idea how to describe it.

"That's right. Dad took me to eat there once before. The buns sold in this bun shop are famous in the city for being the best!"

Lin Xiaomi held the meat bun in her hand. It was not made of pure white flour, but with some coarse flour. The skin was thick, the filling was small, and there was no gravy. She really didn't think it was delicious. The wontons at noon were much better than this.

"Mom, the wontons I had at noon were delicious, even better than these meat buns. Let's go eat them together next time we go to the city."

"The wontons at noon are really delicious!" Lin Dashan agreed.

"How can you be so wasteful? Food in the city is so expensive. I'm fine eating at home." Wang refused again and again.

Seeing this, she stopped talking. Wang was used to being frugal, so she could understand. Next time if she took her mother to the city, she would just take her to eat.

The whole family had a very satisfying dinner and went to bed early after eating.

Lin Xiaomi didn't sleep well the whole night because she was thinking about the pork skin jelly. In the morning, she ran to the kitchen before it was fully light.

The solidified pig skin jelly is crystal clear and as smooth as jade. The pork skin inside looks like small flowers wrapped in the jelly.

Done! ! ! !

"It's so delicious!" Wang, who heard the noise, entered the kitchen and was attracted by the pig skin jelly. "Xiaomi, is this the pig skin jelly I made yesterday?"

"Yes, mother. You smell it, it's not only beautiful, but also very fragrant!" She was very happy. She didn't expect to succeed at the first try. She thought it would be difficult to solidify in such a hot weather. The ancient stream water was actually quite useful.

"Hmm, it smells good. How do you eat it?"

"Just eat it like this. Wait a minute, Mom, help me make a dipping sauce."

Directing Wang, a small dish of dipping sauce with mashed garlic, soy sauce, vinegar is ready. Then cut the pork skin jelly into small pieces and put it on a plate.

"Mom is cooking a pot of multi-grain porridge. We'll have it with breakfast later."

"Okay!"

When Lin Dashan got up, he was full of praise for the pork skin jelly. Regardless of how it tasted, the appearance alone was amazing! "My daughter is amazing. She can even make a flower out of a piece of pork skin!"

Yes, the pig skin wrapped in jelly looks like a flower.

"Dad, Mom, have a try." Lin Xiaomi picked up a piece for each of them, without dipping it in any sauce. She also picked up a piece for herself and put it in her mouth. It was smooth, tender, fresh and delicious.

"It's so delicious!" Lin Dashan widened his eyes. How should I put it? This slippery taste was something he had never tried in his entire life.

The moment Wang put it in her mouth, she was stunned. This... this is too delicious! It's cool, smooth, and has a meaty aroma.

"Dad, Mom, try dipping it in sauce!"

Sure enough, after dipping it in the sauce, the taste was even better, and it was not greasy at all, and it was especially appetizing in summer. The family of three finished a large plate, "Xiaomi, how did you come up with this?"

Lin Xiaomi's eyes twinkled. "I just thought of it. I saw my mother washing the sweet potato flour last time, and it kept settling after washing it over and over again. I thought the meat would work too! I didn't want to waste it, so I bought the pig skin to try first."

"My girl, what's wrong with your little head? How come you are so smart?" Lin Dashan sighed.

"Dad, Mom, I don't know either, I just tried it. I didn't expect that the pork skin is so delicious when it's jelly."

"It's really delicious. I'll take a plate to your grandfather and another plate to the clan leader and the village head."

Lin Xiaomi rolled her eyes. She worked so hard to make something, not for her father to give away. If someone thought it was delicious and asked her mother for the recipe, would her family give it to her or not? !

"Dad, do you think everyone will like to eat this?"

"Of course you like it. On such a hot day, this dish is perfect as a cold dish to whet your appetite."

"Dad, have you ever seen this dish in the county?"

"No, maybe I don't know. You know, I have never been to a restaurant."

"What if we sell it?"

"Sell!!!!" The couple had never thought about selling this food.

"Yes, if there is no such food in the county, then this is a new thing. Dad, our family is poor now, we have no land and no money. If mom has a younger brother, how can we support him? If the younger brother is smart, do we have to send him to a private school? Our family has no money now."

Lin Dashan suddenly realized that his family was weak and could not withstand any difficulties. He also knew that his brothers were unreliable in the matter of dividing the family. The same was true for the villagers. If he was a capable person, the village head would never sign the family division document. People still have to stand up for themselves!
