Chapter 460: Everything Can Be Dipped in Sauce

When chatting idly, according to Mu Xueli, the life of the Ma Lai Zi brothers could be said to be nothing.

Now these two brothers are making it day by day, just like those beggars.

Not only are they lacking clothes and food, but even the firewood for the fire is gone.

The main thing is that these two brothers are now completely disabled, so the people they bullied before have all started to make trouble for them one after another.

The reason it's just making trouble, and not bullying them back, is just because the old Ma family in Sujiatun is considered a truly big household, so people don't dare.

But even so, it's enough for these two brothers to suffer, like blocking the chimney, smashing windows in the middle of the night, secretly lighting the firewood stack... However, there is one thing that made Wang An almost vomit from disgust after hearing it.

This thing is that some villagers in Sujiatun actually snuck into the Ma Lai Zi brothers' house in broad daylight and secretly threw feces into their sauce vat! To say this isn't the most disgusting, and the most disgusting is that what they threw was actually human feces! You have to know that Northeast sauce, for Northeast people, is truly a treasure.

Because this thing is not only a very important seasoning when cooking, but the vast majority of families can't live without it for every meal.

When there are no vegetables to eat, a few green onions dipped in sauce can make a meal.

Of course, summer is not mentioned, because there are too many vegetables to dip in sauce in summer.

In winter, things like dried cabbage, pickled cabbage hearts, garlic, and radishes and cabbage in the cellar are all vegetables dipped in sauce.

In his past life, Wang An once heard such a sentence, "In the Northeast, everything can be dipped in sauce"! To tell the truth, this sentence is truly correct.

However, for something so important to everyone, and the one belonging to the Ma Lai Zi brothers was actually thrown with feces! I guess no matter who hears this, they will feel disgusted.

The most important thing is that if feces and sauce are mixed together, then they can't be distinguished at all!

To tell the truth, although these two brothers didn't do human things when their bodies were fine, and the things they did all day were worse than beasts.

But Wang An still felt that the villagers of Sujiatun doing this was a bit too... satisfying! Wang An believes that when treating evil people, one must be more evil than them.

As the old saying goes, "Evil people need evil people to grind them." People like the Ma Lai Zi brothers shouldn't live well.

Besides, if evil people can have a good ending, then why be a good person? Wang An thought and thought, and couldn't help but laugh.

Laughing is fine, but he even laughed out loud, which made Fang Xiue quite puzzled.

Fang Xiue asked curiously: "You don't feel pain anymore? What are you thinking about in your head that's so happy?"

Wang An answered with a smile: "I heard about the Ma Lai Zi brothers a few days ago; do you two want to hear it?"

Hearing Wang An's words, the Fang Xiue sisters were stunned, and immediately followed by a face full of anger.

It was clear that although a long time had passed, the sisters' hatred for those two brothers was only increasing, without the slightest weakening.

After a while, only hearing Fang Xiuying ask with hatred:

"Are those two dead yet?"

Wang An heard Fang Xiuying's hatred, so he said with a smile:

"They aren't dead. Besides, wouldn't it be too cheap for them if they died?"

Only hearing Fang Xiue take the conversation:

"Mm, they should go to hell."

After Fang Xiue finished speaking, Fang Xiuying couldn't wait to ask: "Hurry up and tell me, Xiao An, how are those two bastards now?"

Wang An smiled: "I also heard it from others; they are truly miserable now..." Immediately after, Wang An told the sisters the whole story of the Ma Lai Zi brothers.

Seeing the sisters finish listening, their faces were full of happy expressions.

Even hearing that the sauce vat was thrown with feces, the sisters didn't feel disgusted at all, but were full of schadenfreude.

I have to say, the sisters being able to not be taken down by two old men, and after running to Bingcheng, returning completely from Bingcheng, indeed had their own superior points.

After laughing, Fang Xiue sighed: "What a waste of that vat of sauce; to make that vat of sauce, our sisters spent a long time!"

Wang An smiled and didn't answer, because wanting to make a good vat of sauce is indeed very troublesome.

There are two ways to make sauce locally, one is stir-fried sauce, and the other is boiled sauce.

In this era, there are many stir-fried sauces and few boiled sauces.

The reason for this is that stir-fried sauce can add corn and black beans, two relatively cheap grains, while boiled sauce can only use soybeans.

First, whether it's stir-fried sauce or boiled sauce, the soybeans, black beans, and corn kernels must be picked clean; there can't be any impurities like small sticks, stones, or dirt clods inside.

Stir-fried sauce is to fry the picked soybeans, black beans, and corn in a pot until cooked.

In the mill, grind all these cooked things into flour, add water to the flour, and squeeze these flours into small round balls the size of a palm, commonly known as "sauce clods."

Then put these "sauce clods" in a shady place to dry and ferment.

Boiled sauce is to soak the picked soybeans until they are swollen and cooked, and then mash the cooked soybeans.

Then press these mashed soybeans into blocks like adobe, commonly known as "sauce blocks," and put them in a shady place to dry and ferment.

Two or three months later, whether it's "sauce clods" or "sauce blocks," they are all fermented.

At this time, the sauce clods or sauce blocks are dry and hard, and their bodies are covered in hair, but most of them are white hair and black hair; a little green hair or red hair is also fine.

The fermented "sauce clods" need to be brushed clean one by one very carefully, but when brushing, they can't be stained with water; it's dry brushing.

After brushing, smash them one by one, and then grind them into flour in the mill again. This flour is called "sauce flour."

Add water and salt particles to the sauce flour and put it into the vat, and stir with a sauce-mashing rake every day. After about half a month, the sauce is done.

For sauce blocks, it's relatively simple; after cleaning, smash them directly and put them into the vat, pour in salt particles and water, and the water must cover the sauce blocks.

However, for the first few days, you need to scoop out the black foam floating on the top of the vat, and also stir with a sauce-mashing rake. Basically, after half a month, the sauce is done.

Stir-fried sauce, because there is less water, is relatively dry, while boiled sauce, because there is more water, is relatively thin.

To tell the truth, no matter what kind of sauce it is, if any link in the middle has a problem, the sauce made will have a foul smell.

Speaking of which, the sauce vat of the Ma Lai Zi brothers... forget it, better not say it, truly too f*cking disgusting.

After rubbing the bruise-treating wine all over Wang An's back, Fang Xiue didn't care that her younger sister was present and pulled down Wang An's pants.

And Fang Xiuying saw Wang An's buttocks and said with interest: "Truly didn't expect, you big man, your buttocks are quite white."

Fang Xiuying's words made Wang An so ashamed he almost burrowed under the kang mat.
