Villager of Daming

Chapter 957 Waiting for roasted meat without distribution

With the extra meat of one cow, more than fifty people plus three sheep would not be able to eat it all. They would definitely not be able to eat it all.

"How to divide it? Give it to whom and who not? How about making it into canned braised beef? We have tinplate and there is no shortage of manual equipment for canning."

The head of the village proposed not to distribute it to the common people. There were so many people that the main dish today was fish. There was no other way. The other meat was scarce and the military households were reluctant to eat it.

There will be too many rabbits in the winter, and the last two births will explode.

As for chickens, ducks and geese, try to choose males to eat. Except for some who are the leaders, other males will not continue to raise them until they are slow to grow meat.

At the end of this year and during the Chinese New Year, a group of males happened to be killed.

The only sheep that can be killed are male sheep, and the female ones are kept to contribute to increasing the base of the flock.

Therefore, more males than females, no, more males than females, is detrimental to the development of the ethnic group, unless in war years, fighting can consume males...

The Ming Dynasty currently has fewer males and more females. It has been fighting for so many years, and thousands of people were killed in a single battle.

The pancakes are baked first, and then rolled again when eating. Generally, they are afraid that they will be too dry and need to be wiped off. They should be wiped off when you eat them, otherwise they cannot be stored for a long time.

The machine next to it was humming, grinding flour from small grains, such as mung beans, sorghum, soybeans, barley...

While waiting, Zhu Wentian let his friends cook. He said braised beef was braised beef, and it was ready to be canned and sealed.

The team brought some antihistamine Chinese medicine to detect allergies in time and have a high chance of treatment. However, they still chose safe foods. Food allergies are troublesome.

As for other small-scale allergens, they are usually not considered.

In the Ming Dynasty and the previous dynasties, if people fell down due to allergies, they basically died suddenly, ate something unclean, or were possessed by some evil spirit.

Such as different pollen, honey, lime, wool, resin...

Only a small number of people can enjoy this kind of treatment. Only those who serve as officials in the imperial city have special medical conditions.

Don't eat it today after grinding it, ferment it overnight, and eat pancakes tomorrow morning. To be precise, eat pancake fruit. The difference from pancakes rolled with green onions is that there are more things rolled, and the frying and rolling are mixed together.

Under normal circumstances, when making pancakes or pancake fruits, broad beans are not included because some people may be allergic to broad beans, especially when taking some traditional Chinese medicine.

Craftsmen use tinplate to make cans. They need to sterilize and raise the temperature first. When the braised beef is ready, they immediately put it in and seal the lid.

Either they have to be officials from Shangyuan County or Jiangning County. Other places are too far away to take care of them.

All irritating foods can easily cause allergic reactions, such as peppers, coriander, fennel, leeks, onions, ginger, garlic, orchid root...

If anyone has a reaction, ask them to avoid it as much as possible, bring some anti-allergy medicine with you, and make quick-apply powders or pills according to different types of allergic reactions.

The land team behind is coming soon, and we want to eat with them. Now, the older people, pregnant women, lactating women, and babies taking complementary foods will eat first.

Other allergens cannot be tested for military households because there is not enough time. Unlike Nanjing Imperial City, Xiaqiu Village will use small doses of various things to expose people to observe reactions.

It has only been six years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. The dead people cannot be replaced. It may take another twenty years!

At this moment, the wires are pulled up, the lights are on, and the children are running happily, but they just don't eat, wait!

In addition to stimulating foods, there are also proteins, such as soy products, fish, mutton...

You can’t put the seasonings in first and then cook them. That’s suitable for canning glass jars with twist lids, especially canned fruits.

It is heated there and begins to deflate during the process, and is tightened immediately when it is ready.

"Here we come, the team is here, let's eat and let them have a rest." Someone ran over and shouted, "Here we come, it's time to eat."

Waiting is a kind of etiquette, telling the team behind that they have not been forgotten, that people have arrived, and they need to take a rest without delaying other people's meals.

"Beef tendon, first put on a few skewers of beef tendon."

The fifth child, Zhu Rui, who had been waiting for him, was hungry and clamored for beef tendon.

"Your Highness will need twenty minutes to eat the beef tendon. It is being processed. It is much more difficult than processing beef."

The director watched everyone busy and knew what step it was taking.

Beef tendons need to be washed first, then boiled, cooled after cooking, and the fascia removed. This is a semi-finished product and the pre-processing is complete.

Others are modified into knives, baked, stir-fried, hot pot, or made into snacks for children to stuff their teeth with, and adults can follow suit.

"You can smell the aroma of braised beef. Are you really not going to give it to the people?"

Zhu Di sniffed, it smelled so good! In fact, once it’s done, it’s delicious even without being put into a can.

The commander nodded: "We have to prepare some things in case the team encounters special circumstances. In fact, there are cans in the team, but having more cans will give you more peace of mind."

"Make sure it's sealed, the can feels more expensive than the contents."

Zhu Di did not consider sending the people away. The people were not short of this, and it was more important to ensure the safety of the team.

The canned food still needs to wait for a while to be cooked. The braised beef was not placed in a pressure can. It was cooked in a large pot as usual and it was delicious.

Zhu Wentian took a look at it and then came back to put on the strings. There were no preservatives in the cans, so there was no need for them, as long as they were well cooked and slightly salty.

When the jar is ready to be sealed, add a small spoonful of the butter boiled next to it and use it as a final preservative. After sealing, leave it there.

The herbs used for braised pork also have a certain preservative effect, so it is basically no problem to keep this can for five or six years.

Nowadays, the army likes to eat canned food, even the kind in bamboo tubes, because it is of military quality.

The cost of canning itself is high, and the army can't stand eating floss all the time. There is no need to save on raw materials. The best ingredients are given to the soldiers.

There are no edible glue, messy chemical seasonings, or preservatives in it. The cost of key chemical preservatives is higher and not cost-effective.

Thinking about it, Zhu Wentian handed over a handful of small meat skewers. The advantage of small meat skewers is that they cook quickly.

"Eat first, first, there are big skewers at the back, grilled." Zhu Fan greeted the officials and generals.

After Zhu Wentian delivered a large bundle of small skewers, he placed the large meat skewers that had been brushed with ingredients and prepared a pair of scissors to cut the burnt areas.

The bigger the skewers are, the more they need to be cut. Eating too much will cause burnt skewers, which is not good for your health. Unless you control them well, non-enzymatic browning will occur in the grilled skewers.

When eating maltose, braised food, baked potato slices, fried steak, etc., the color will change, as if it is black, which is good for the human body.

Zhu Wentian couldn't guarantee it. Anyway, he saw some black spots on the meat skewers that looked like carbonization, so he cut them off with scissors.

Due to the lack of seasonings, everyone can only dip the dry ingredients into the plate after grilling. The dry ingredients, including salt, will not be sprinkled directly on the grilled meat skewers, otherwise a lot of them will inevitably fall into the charcoal fire.
