Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Chapter 66 Braised Pork
Jing Yi has inquired about the Spring Festival here called Suidan, just like the Spring Festival in her previous life, it is a very important festival.On this day, sacrifices, ancestor worship, and succession can be carried out.It is also a day of family reunion.Jing Yi estimated that this was the ancient Spring Festival.

On the second day, Jing Yi began to prepare for the ceremony.She doesn't have any good things, the only thing she can do is that she can make some fresh food compared to this era.This time she will do something new, and it will be fine as a gift at that time.

Anyway, they all know the situation at home.

Jing Yi is a doctor, so it's okay to prescribe some medicine.She was going to prepare a few bottles of pills, Guben Peiyuan's pills and Jiedu Dan.

These two pills should be very much needed for Xiao Yilin.

Jing Yi counted the time, brought enough money, and drove the carriage with Song Yuancheng to the county town to do some shopping.

Jing Yi first bought all kinds of beans, as well as miscellaneous grains such as glutinous rice, glutinous rice flour, millet, and rhubarb rice.She's going back to make some pastries.

Jing Yi bought some brown sugar. In this day and age, people just squeeze the juice out of sugarcane and boil it to make brown sugar. White sugar is still not available.

In this era, there is maltose, which is a kind of sugar made from rice and malt after saccharification and boiling. It is sticky and commonly known as maltose.Maltose belongs to starch sugar and can also be used as a sweetener.Jing Yi looked at it and bought some.

Jing Yi saw that there were honey sellers, and the price was very expensive.But to make cakes, Jing Yi also bought some.In the future, she will raise bees by herself and produce honey by herself, so she won't worry about eating honey.

Jing Yi bought the ingredients for pastries and went to the butcher shop.

Jing Yi first bought a lot of pork and ribs.She saw a lot of pigs in the basket beside her.The smell is a bit unpleasant.

Jing Yi knew that pig offal would smell fishy if it was not properly treated, so no one wanted to buy it.But she will.Pork liver, pig lung, and pig large intestine are all good things, and they are also very delicious after being processed.

Jing Yi is also planning to make some sausages out of pig intestines.

Jing Yi pointed to a basket of pigs and said, "Shopkeeper, how do you sell these pigs? You see, I bought so much pork and pork ribs from you. You can sell your pigs to me cheaply. Anyway, no one buys them. I also bought your pig's trotter, and I'll buy another pig's head."

The shopkeeper of the butcher's shop was not stingy when he saw a big customer, "Then you can take all these pigs with [-] cents."

Jing Yi moved three baskets of things from the butcher shop, and really bought a lot.

Jing Yi went to buy some seasonings, and bought some mutton when she saw a mutton seller.

Song Yuancheng kept looking at his carriage, and saw that his son had almost filled the carriage, and his heart burst into tongues.When he saw his young master's way of spending money, he knew that his previous background was not ordinary.

The two drove the carriage back home before lunch.

The Qiao Hong brothers and sisters would definitely not let their young master handle the pigs into the water.Jing Yi taught them how to deal with it.It is mainly to clean the large intestine of pigs, and it must be cleaned.

Qiao Hong was very distressed when he learned that white flour and salt were used to process pig large intestine, and felt that the pig large intestine became much more expensive after washing.

There are also pig heads and trotters that must be cleaned, especially the remaining pig hairs on them.

Song Yuancheng has never done these jobs before, but he has also learned to handle pig heads and trotters, at least this is much easier than cleaning pig intestines.

In the afternoon, when Jing Yi took Xiao Yilin's pulse, she obviously felt that Xiao Yilin was very happy. After taking the pulse, she took a look at Xiao Yilin.

The corners of Xiao Yilin's mouth curled up, "Jing Yan, am I well?"

Jing Yi nodded, "It's really good. It seems that the body has not been in vain during this time. You must also feel that the strength of your body is slowly recovering. Starting tomorrow, you can do some less strenuous exercise. help the body recover.”

Gu Yu and Feng Zhi looked at each other and laughed happily when they heard the words.

Feng Zhi smiled and said, "Then my lord can slowly practice martial arts in the future. Mr. Chu, you are truly a miracle doctor. It's only been a few months and my son will be healed soon."

Jing Yi said with a smile: "This is mainly due to Brother Xiao's good health. To celebrate, today I will make braised pork for everyone. Brother Xiao can also relax a bit in his diet. It is no problem to eat more meat."

Qiao Hong and the others took care of the pig's offal, pig's head and trotters. Jing Yi kept the pig's large intestine, and put the rest into the pot to cook.

Jing Yi asked Qiao Hong to chop the meat stuffing, then added various seasonings and stirred it up to start stuffing the sausages.

Both Feng Zhi and Gu Yu came to see the freshness, and it was the first time they saw eating like this.It's really complicated to make food, no wonder Mr. Chu's food is delicious.

Jing Yi bought a lot of pig intestines, filled a lot of sausages, and then hung them under the beams of a storage room in the wing to dry.

The stewed pork is cooking in the pot, and the aroma permeates the yard.This fragrance is so overbearing that everyone is looking forward to this braised pork.Jing Yi also put eggs, dried tofu,

In the wing room, Feng Zhi looked towards the kitchen from time to time, swallowing greedily, "Young Master Chu said that stewed pork is being cooked in the pot. This is the first time I've heard of it. The smell makes me so hungry."

With everyone's eager anticipation, the stewed pork finally came out of the pot. Jing Yi asked Qiao Yan to cut up the pork liver, pig ears, and pig head meat, and made dipping sauces with garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, etc. to send to Xiao Yilin and the others.There are also braised eggs and braised tofu, which taste just as good.

For dinner, Jing Yi asked Qiao Yan to cook some vegetarian dishes.The staple food is steamed buns and a spinach egg soup.

Feng Zhi ate the pork head and said with enjoyment: "This stewed pork is really enjoyable and delicious. I think this ordinary thing can become a delicacy after Mr. Chu's hands. Look at this pork liver , who of us used to eat it, after Mr. Chu made it like this, the taste is really tasteless."

Gu Yu picked up a few pieces of pork liver for his prince with serving chopsticks, "My lord, Mr. Chu said that pork liver is very nourishing for the body, so you should eat more. And this marinated egg is also delicious. Mr. Chu said that when we leave Give us these cooking recipes, let the cooks in our house learn how to cook, so that you can eat delicious meals."

When Xiao Yilin heard that he knew that the young man cared about him, he was happy, and said, "The prescription given by Mr. Chu must be kept secret, and no outsiders can learn it."

Gu Yu nodded and said: "I understand, Mr. Chu's prescriptions are all worth a lot of money, and you can make a lot of money in restaurants just about anything. My lord, do you think you should discuss with Mr. Chu about opening a restaurant? Mr. Chu It’s a pity that there are no restaurants with these recipes.”

Xiao Yilin thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow I will discuss this matter with Jing Yan."

Xiao Yilin also found the stewed pork delicious.Rich people or high-ranking officials would not eat things like pig offal, pig heads, and trotters, because they are really unpalatable.Only those poor people with little money will choose these things to eat.

Unexpectedly, these things turned into delicious food after passing through the young man's hands. The young man really has a pair of hands that can turn stones into gold.He doesn't eat less delicious food these days.His mouth has been spoiled by the young man, and he is really afraid that he won't be able to eat the young man's handiwork when he goes back and is not used to it.
