Chapter 496

After Wang Xiaoli was stunned for a moment, she shouted excitedly:

"Big Brother, that's not right, it just bleated once."

Not to mention, Wang Xiaoli's reaction speed was quite fast, and Wang An was asked to the point where he couldn't even make it up.

Just at this critical moment, Zhang Shuya, who couldn't watch anymore, said to Wang Xiaoli: "Your Big Brother is teasing you, sheep don't understand human language."

But although what Zhang Shuya said was true, the two sisters didn't believe it. Wang Xiaoli blinked her big eyes and asked back: "Big Sister, then how can Da Hei understand what I say?"

Wang Xiaomei also said on the side: "Mm, Xiao Hei can also understand what I say."

After Wang Xiaomei finished speaking, she personally gave a demonstration, turned around, and shouted to the little black dog not far away: "Xiao Hei, come here."

The little black dog, which was lying down, first raised its head to look here, then got up and flew over.

About two or three seconds later, Xiao Hei ran to Wang Xiaomei, shaking its head and wagging its tail, looking quite happy.

Wang Xiaomei squatted down with a smile, hugged Xiao Hei's neck and became intimate, and Wang Xiaoli immediately stepped forward and hugged the dog's waist.

Then the two sisters gave Xiao Hei a good petting without any sense of proportion.

Zhang Shuya saw this scene and really didn't know what to say, while Wang An's couple and Wang Dazhu's couple all looked at this scene thoughtfully.

Mainly because if this question from the two sisters was asked to them, they wouldn't be able to answer it either.

You can't keep making things up, right?

Fortunately, the two sisters might have felt that it wasn't enough for the two of them to pet one dog, so they led Xiao Hei and ran toward the dog kennel, directly forgetting the question about "whether sheep can understand human language."

It must be said that although the two sisters are still children, their speech is still very rigorous, and they know how to use facts to prove it.

Of course, anyone who has raised a dog knows that dogs are indeed much stronger in intelligence than other animals.

But in children's cognition, animals are actually all the same and should all be able to understand human language, so the two sisters' question was truly very difficult for people to answer.

Discovering that the two sisters were playing well with the dogs, Liu Guilan immediately greeted Wang An:

"Xiao An, don't just stand there, hurry up and slaughter these two sheep, don't let them bleat."

"Hey, okay Mom."

Wang An promised, and stabbed a knife directly into the neck of one of the sheep. As Wang An turned the knife handle, sheep blood flowed out along the knife.

After a while, the blood of this sheep stopped flowing, and this sheep only had breath going out and no breath coming in.

Finally, as the sheep's four legs kicked a few times, this sheep completely escaped the suffering of the world and its soul ascended to the Pure Land.

When Wang An was about to use the knife on the second sheep, Wang An said to Wang Dazhu again:

"Dad, you have to get me another basin, and by the way, put more salt and hot water in the basin, this sheep's blood needs to be kept for filling the intestines."

Wang Dazhu promised and turned to walk into the house.

While waiting for the basin, Zhang Shuya pointed to the basin of sheep blood from before and asked Wang An:

"Xiao An, no water was put in this basin just now, should we put some in now?"

From Zhang Shuya's words, it could be heard that Zhang Shuya didn't understand this kind of thing as slaughtering sheep at all, or had never seen it.

Because before bloodletting, adding salt and hot water to the basin is mainly to make the blood coagulate more slowly.

And if you want the blood to coagulate faster, you have to add less salt and more cold water. The salt here is mainly to give the blood some flavor after it is cooked.

Wang An glanced at the basin containing the sheep blood and said: "That one is for stewing sheep offal, just add more cold water in a while." Looking at Zhang Shuya's confused eyes, Wang An briefly explained the reason.

Zhang Shuya listened, nodded, and said:

"Eating sheep blood has so many rules."

Wang An laughed: "It's clear you're not from the countryside. This little thing counts as what rules."

Zhang Shuya shook her head and said: "I moved to the city later, but I don't remember my family having any pigs or sheep."

Wang An nodded but didn't refute it, mainly because in the previous years, it was still collective, and individuals were not allowed to raise livestock or poultry.

And the reason why Wang An knows these things is because every year during the New Year, the brigade would slaughter pigs and sheep and distribute meat to every family.

Wang An and a group of children would naturally curiously watch.

You must know that things like slaughtering pigs and sheep, although the hands-on part has fast and slow, don't look difficult at all.

The two were talking, and Wang Dazhu came out carrying a basin, and there was a rolling pin in the basin.

After Wang Dazhu put the basin down, Wang An stabbed a knife into the neck of the second sheep.

This time, Wang Dazhu didn't walk away, but kept holding the rolling pin, stirring the salt water and sheep blood in the basin.

Because only when the salt water and sheep blood are fully mixed together will the sheep blood coagulate more slowly.

After this sheep was completely dead, Wang An and Wang Dazhu each picked up a sheep carcass and threw them into the large pot in the courtyard at the same time.

After a while, after the sheep were soaked through in the hot water, everyone worked together, just like removing pig hair, and scraped all the hair on the sheep's body with a knife.

It must be said that after removing the hair, the sheep is different from a pig.

Because after removing the hair, the pig skin doesn't feel very smooth, while after removing the hair, the whole sheep looks like jade, both smooth and delicate.

After removing the sheep hair, and after removing the head and hooves after opening the chest, everyone carried out a division of labor.

Wang An and Zhang Shuya were responsible for dismantling the sheep cavity, Wang Dazhu was responsible for cleaning the sheep intestines and stomach and other internal organs, Liu Guilan chopped sheep oil and prepared sheep blood, and Mu Xueqing was responsible for stewing sheep offal and steaming sheep blood.

As for the two sisters Wang Xiaomei and Wang Xiaoli, one at the east stove and one at the west stove, they were only responsible for burning fire.

Only Wang Yi, because he went to school, didn't do any work.

Soon, as Wang An and Zhang Shuya dismantled the two sheep cavities with sheep skin, the whole sheep was pushed into the pot.

Of course, whether it was sheep ribs, sheep legs, or sheep spine, they were all with sheep skin and mutton.

I don't know about other places, but in the Northeast, sheep spine is called sheep scorpion.

In Wang An's view, stewing mutton doesn't need to be blanched; you just need to scoop out the foam on top.

And stewing mutton doesn't need any seasoning, just throw two handfuls of salt particles into the pot.

Because only in this way can the original flavor of the mutton be preserved to the greatest extent!

Even if everyone worked together, it was two hours later before everyone ate the sheep blood sausage and mutton with sheep skin, and drank the delicious sheep offal soup.

It was a bit of a pity that Wang Yi could only eat the mutton of the other sheep after school in the evening.
