Chapter 44: Jerky (overhaul section)

When these words came out, both of them were stunned.

The eyes are facing each other.

Luo Jianjia felt that he shouldn't have said the words just now.

The matter of washing a man’s shirt is too intimate and ambiguous, even if Chu Weilian’s clothes are dirty, what does it have to do with her?

Seeing the inquiry in Chu Wei Leng's eyes, Luo Jianjia felt as if he had been seen through, and immediately wanted to change his decision just now.

However, before she spoke, she saw Chu Wei Leng withdraw her eyes, put down the shovel, and quickly took off his clothes.

After taking it off, he handed it to her and said, "Thank you lady."

Sure enough, it is difficult to take it back.

The words were spoken by himself, and things were handled by himself. Luo Jianjia pursed his lips, said nothing, and went to the well to wash his clothes.

Luo Jianjia thought that the most difficult thing to wash was the mud that had just been stained. So I soaked it in a basin and rubbed it again.

However, when the mud was washed away, she discovered that the clothes were very dirty.

Chu Wei Leng will wash the clothes tomorrow, but the clothes here look like they haven't been washed in a long time.

In addition to the fresh mud that was just stained, the color of the clothes was also a little yellow, and there were some gray and black marks on the cuffs.

These can't be rubbed off with your hands alone.

Luo Jianjia got up and went to the kitchen to get some plant ashes and soaked his jacket in it.

After soaking for a while, put it on the table and scrub repeatedly.

When the ash was almost gone, I took the saponins and cleaned it again.

Chu Wei Leng is really strong in his hands-on ability. Luo Jianjia has not finished washing his clothes, he has already fixed the following.

As for the hemispherical shape above, Chu Weiling plans to use bamboo and thinner stone slabs to fix the shape.

When Luo Jianjia was about to dry her clothes, Chu Wei called her coldly.

"Lady, do you think you did it like this?"

After speaking, he saw that Roche hadn't finished washing his shirt.

Looking at the things for washing clothes placed on the side, I thought to myself, is it so troublesome to wash clothes?

Luo Jianjia didn't know what Chu Weilian thought in his heart. If he knew it, he probably wanted to throw the clothes on Chu Weilian's face.

After drying the clothes, she walked over and took a look.

I have to say that Chu Wei Leng is indeed amazing, with strong hands-on ability, which is almost the same as she imagined.

"Is that so?" Chu Wei asked coldly.

"Yes, exactly."

Luo Jianjia wanted to help, however, it turns out that Chu Weilian really didn't need her to help.

He worked very neatly and carefully, and in a short while, the oven was ready.

Seeing Chu Wei Leng sweating profusely, Luo Jianjia felt in his heart that there is a man in the family who is really good at doing things.

In the future, I will also find someone who is as strong as Chu Weilian and can work.

You can eat as long as you can. It's not a big problem, as long as you are willing to work.

Looking at the shaped oven, Luo Jianjia was very satisfied.

Next, she went to the kitchen and picked up some straws, lit them, placed them on the upper and lower floors, and then closed the doors on the two floors.

This step is essential to dry the oven quickly.

After a while, Mr. Zhao and Boss Chu came back from the town with a lot of things.

Because the son was leaving, the two had extravagantly this time and cut two catties of pork for their son.

Because of the large amount of meat, the store also gave away a few bones. Zhao was obviously very happy about this.

In addition, I bought two fish for meat dishes. There are a lot of fish here, and the price is naturally much cheaper than pork.

Looking at the things his son and daughter-in-law had put in the corner, Zhao asked suspiciously, "What is this?"

Luo Jianjia said: "Oven."

Mr. Zhao looked at it carefully and asked: "Oven? Can I use it to bake things? Will it be too small?"

She's seen people bake things before, but their stoves are very big, unlike theirs, they don't laugh and look so strange.

Luo Jianjia shook his head and said, "No, just right."

"But the hole below this is too small, how do you bake it? Also, what is it for?" Zhao looked at it for a long time and didn't understand the structure of this oven.

Luo Jianjia said: "Mother, use the top to bake, and the bottom to burn."

Then, he explained it to Zhao carefully.

The Zhao family had never seen this kind of oven before, and he was stunned when he heard it, and said, "It can be like this? It's amazing."

"Yes. You'll know after your daughter-in-law has baked it."

"Okay, mother will take a good look later."

Before the oven was ready, Luo Jianjia took the meat bought by Zhao and went to the kitchen to prepare it.

Although I have made a lot more now, in the final analysis, all of the Chu family's fortunes are only a few taels of silver.

These few ounces of silver sounded a lot, enough for a family to spend two years, but if something goes wrong at home, it won't be of any use.

As the saying goes, if you have money at home, you don't panic. Those who know how to live will save some money at home.

Because in addition to the cost of food and clothing at home, we must also consider the coming and going of casualties. The most important thing is to be afraid of accidents.

For example, Boss Chu had a sudden illness before. Not only did it cost money to see a doctor and take medicine, but he also directly lost his source of income at home.

Boss Chu and Zhao had saved two taels of silver before, but now they have accumulated only three or fours.

However, nowadays, I have made a lot of money and spent more money, and the food is much better than before, and these few ounces of silver are not spent.

Mr. Zhao and Boss Chu are also more economical on weekdays. They only cut the meat once for ten days and a half.

And the reason why they buy more today is for their only son.

My son is about to leave home to go to the barracks. The environment at the barracks is relatively difficult. I don't know when I can eat meat.

Before leaving, they hoped that their son could have a good meal and be full of meat.

Although Luo Jianjia also wanted to eat meat, she was able to make money, so naturally she wouldn't be greedy for this kind of meat.

She planned not to leave it at all, and processed all the meat for Chu Wei Leng to take.

When Luo Jianjia told Zhao's, Zhao refused: "No need, let's keep some and eat tonight."

Luo Jianjia could more or less guess what she was thinking, and said, "Mother, let's leave it to the xianggong. The xianggong will leave tomorrow. We can eat anytime."

Sure enough, Zhao responded only after hesitating.

After getting Zhao's approval, Luo Jianjia started to cook.

Since we want to take Chu Wei Leng to eat on the road, it must be convenient to carry. The weather is relatively hot now, and it has to be preserved for a longer period of time.

Ordinary meat dishes are not only too juicy to carry, but also difficult to preserve.

Therefore, she intends to make these meat into jerky, that is, dried pork.

After making up his mind, Luo Jianjia processed the two catties of meat he bought, put it on the chopping board, picked up two knives, and started working with both hands to chop the meat into puree.

Then put the mashed meat in a sea bowl, add salt and pepper and other seasonings, and finally put some sugar to make it fresh. After stirring well, set aside and let it taste.

At the same time, the noodles in the morning are also awake now.

Luo Jianjia took out a part of it and kneaded it into a bun. Put water in the pot and steam the buns in a large pot.

The other part of the noodles is rolled into small cakes.

At this moment, the outer oven was almost ready. Luo Jianjia cleaned the upper layer of the oven vigorously, took a tray, put six small cakes on it, put it in the upper layer, and closed the door.

The following is to continue the fire.

After a while, she opened the upper door and turned the cake over.

After a while, the cake is ready.

Luo Jianjia opened the door and looked at the baked cake. As she thought, the pie was very soft, golden on both sides, and evenly heated.

After more than 20 diseases are roasted, the pork is almost marinated on the other side.

Luo Jianjia rolled the marinated pork into a thin layer, placed it on a tray, and put it in the oven.

From the moment when he saw the baked scones, the Zhao family admired his daughter-in-law very much. At this moment, he was even more amazed to see her put the meat in.

"Why do you make the meat so thin?" Zhao asked, "What is the way to eat it?"

"Jerky meat, roast the meat dry." Luo Jianjia explained, "It's convenient to carry with each other. And if you do this, you can store it for a longer time."

"Ah? Dry? Isn't that very woody? Will it be delicious?" Zhao asked.

Luo Jianjia said: "No, mother, you'll know after a taste."

Zhao naturally believed in the craftsmanship of his daughter-in-law, and just asked casually.

After doing this, Luo Jianjia and Zhao went to make Liangpi.

I was busy today and the egg fried rice was not selling well, so I decided not to make it.

To make the gaps for the cold skin, Luo Jianjia went to open the oven, brushed a layer of honey on the pork breast, and sprinkled some sesame seeds.

Before the dried pork is ready, the yard is full of meaty smell.

Even people like Chu Wei Leng who only like pasta find it incredibly fragrant.

When the dried pork was done, Luo Jianjia took it to the chopping board and cut it into small pieces. After a bite of it, Zhao and others were amazed.

"It's amazing. The meat is roasted so dry that it is not firey at all, and the taste is strange." Zhao said, "It's delicious."

"Isn't it? It's chewy." Boss Chu said, looking at the dried pork in his hand.

Luo Jianjia also tasted it.

After the entrance, the taste was very similar to what she had eaten before.

However, there are still subtle differences. Although

It's not as delicious as the previous one, and it can be considered a success. If you make more in the future, it will taste better and better.

She was about to speak, looking up at Zhao's laborious appearance, and said: "It's just not suitable for people with bad teeth."

Zhao tried to chew the dried pork in his mouth, and said, "Isn't it? I don't have a good tooth. It's a bit hard to chew this, but it tastes good."

After speaking, she looked at her son and said, "But, Jian Jia, don't worry, brother Leng has a very good mouth, and he likes to eat such things."

Thinking of the food that his daughter-in-law had made with great effort, Zhao was afraid that she would not believe it, so he looked at his son and asked, "Is that right, Brother Leng?"

Chu Wei Leng also put it in his mouth to chew, the meat is really not easy to chew.

However, the meat is delicious and chewy.

The dried pork looks dry, hard and angular, but it is rich in layers when chewed, which is endless aftertaste.

Moreover, this thing is made of pure pork, no other things are added, it has high nutritional value, and it is also expensive. This piece also costs a lot of money.

This is very similar to Roche's temperament.

Thinking of this, Chu Wei looked at Luo Jianjia coldly.

"Yes, it tastes great, my son likes it very much." Chu Wei coldly answered Zhao's question just now.
