Leisurely ancient daily life

Chapter 88 Beef
When I came out of the Jishi Pavilion, I was still in a good mood.

Lin Fansheng looked the same as before, and he was still very kind to himself.

He also took the initiative to talk about Sun Yanyue, leisurely asked him if he liked it, Lin Fansheng only whispered that his wife would only be her.

Seeing that Lin Fansheng didn't have the idea of ​​three wives and four concubines, Youran was quite satisfied with it.

While thinking, You Ran was planning to go to Liu's stall, but was attracted by the stall.

Just because this is a beef stall? ! !
This is strange, it is rare to sell beef here.

Because cows are used for farm work, even if they are too old to do it anymore, people who are more soft-hearted usually let the old cows who have worked hard all their lives do some light work and let them die of old age.

The hard-hearted ones slaughter the old cows and sell the meat when they can't do it anymore, but in fact, the meat is too old at this time, so it can only be sold at a low price.

The cattle vendor is an old man. It's getting cold, and Youran has already changed into the old clothes that are slightly thicker than before, but the old man is wearing thin clothes. Seeing Youran walking over and looking this way, he hastily greeted him. :
"Madam, why don't you buy some meat? This is the meat of a cow that has just grown up. It is not old. Even if it is let out and broken, it will not be able to work anyway, so it will be slaughtered and sold. The meat is so tender!"

The old man bowed his waist and greeted with a smile, but he couldn't help but tears welled up in his eyes.

For ordinary farmers, the value of a cow is not so precious. The old cow in the family has just died of old age. Fortunately, there is a calf left behind. The family is very happy, thinking that at least it will be raised. It can replace the old cow to work.

But who ever thought that this would let the children herd the cows. When the children were playing, the cows ran away without paying attention, and when they got back, they had fallen into the ravine. Reluctantly slaughtered it for meat money.

But these days, beef is no better than pork, and fewer people eat it. It also has a smell, which some people can't accept, and fewer people buy it.

However, the ox cart he borrowed on the way broke down again, and it took a long time to repair it. When he arrived at the market, almost all the people had left, and the meat could not be sold.

The old man has been here for a long time.

But he can only wait and see, if he can't even sell the meat, then life will be really difficult.

He, his wife and a young grandson are the only ones in the family. The couple are too old to do any work, and the field depends entirely on cattle.

He also hoped to sell some silver, and then he could borrow some money to buy another calf to raise, so that he could work hard next year.

Seeing the old man's forced smile, Lei Ran couldn't help feeling sad, and immediately asked with a smile, "How do you sell this meat?"

Seeing Youran asked the price with a real smile, the old man rubbed his hands happily and said with a smile: "Usually good pork costs [-] renminbi a catty, but I can do it for [-] renminbi a catty. Where do you think I am?" I'll cut it off for you."

"I want it all," leisurely smiled, and then said embarrassedly: "It's just that I don't have so much silver now, can you send it back for me? I'll withdraw the money for you again?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said tremblingly: "Oh, you can't do it, you can't do it, don't buy all the meat for the sake of the poor old man, it's a waste of money if you can't finish it."

He thought to himself that he had met a kind-hearted little daughter-in-law, but seeing Youran's young appearance, he thought that she was too young to be a family man, so she uttered a bold word that he would buy all the meat .

"Don't worry, I bought it for food, right? It can't be wasted." said leisurely with a smile.

But he said in his heart that this old man's character is really nothing to say, most people see that the meat can't be sold, and if someone buys it, they are already thankful, and they have to sell all the meat quickly, but he is actually worried about the people who buy the meat.

"This..." The old man looked embarrassed, and asked again: "How many people are in your family? Can you really finish eating?"

"I don't have many people in my family, but I guarantee that I can finish the meal and it won't be wasted." Youran smiled patiently.

She really wanted to buy it, mainly because she was greedy. There wasn't much meat here, and this beef was hard to come by, so she didn't want to miss it.

"Hey, since that's the case, then I'll chop it up for you, divide it up as you want, and I'll send it back to you after I divide it up. Do you think it's okay?"

The old man laughed after listening to Youran's assurance, and now he has met a very good person.

Youran naturally nodded in agreement, and then told the old man about how to divide the meat, and was going to talk to Liu Shi, and went back by herself in a while, and settled for lunch by eating a bowl of wontons.

Finally, he leisurely got on the old man's bullock cart with several large boxes of beef on it, and went back together.

It was past noon when we went back, and there were quite a few fewer people in Lihua Village, most of them went to work in the town, and the remaining women were also busy with their own work.

Leisurely asked the old man to go to the path beside the field, there were fewer people, even if they met, they would not be able to see what was inside the frame because it was covered with something.

After arriving, the old man took the initiative to unload the things into the yard.

Leisurely went back to the room and took out two taels of silver. The old man wiped out the change, a total of two hundred catties, ten Wen per catty, a total of two thousand Wen, exactly two taels of silver.

After the old man got the money, he said a lot of good things, leisurely just smiled and handed him a bowl of tea.

After drinking the tea, the old man left.

Leisurely looked at these boxes of beef and started to be dazed, and finally decided to deal with them first. Although the weather was getting colder, the meat still couldn't help.

Immediately, she hurriedly boiled half a pot of water in the big pot first, and then went to the front yard to take out all the lean meat parts, and cleaned them in batches. There was no way that a big basket was too heavy, and it was impossible for You Ran to carry it. .

Fortunately, she has quick hands and feet, so it doesn't matter if she runs a few more times,

After she cleaned everything, the water boiled, and leisurely put the lean beef into the pot again, and she was going to use it to make beef jerky.

Beef jerky is delicious and can be stored for a long time. It can be eaten as a snack when doing idle things. It is still very good.

It also takes time for the beef to boil after it is put into the pot. Then, taking advantage of this time, Leisurely went to clean the beef with fat, which she planned to make into spicy sauce.

The chili sauce can also be stored for a long time. When you want to eat it, you can just take it out. It is great for noodles or vegetables.

When she washed the meat again, the beef in the pot had already started to boil.

Leisurely stayed in the kitchen, no one would be able to leave this meeting, and all the scum in the cauldron had to be skimmed off.

Since no other spices have been added to remove the fishy smell, the fishy smell of meat hits the face when it is boiled.

Leisurely held her breath unconsciously, repeatedly skimming off the foam in the pot.

Until the beef is off-white, slowly take out one and cut it to confirm that it is cooked, then take it out, and then cut it into [-] cm thick slices evenly.

During the period, leisurely stir-fried ginger, chili, pepper, star anise and other spices in a large pot to give out the fragrance, then poured the beef soup, put the cut beef down and boiled it again.

　Thank you Lazy Pig for the cute reward!

　　Because the weight of the cow feels a little exaggerated, so the rice has been changed again, and it should be normal now.
