readx; There is strength in numbers. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info didn't understand why the princess smeared the pork that was divided into four or five catties with salt and seasonings, but the servants and women also started to move quickly. Marinated pork marinated chicken, marinated chicken marinated duck, marinated duck marinated fish. After wiping, Xue Mingyu asked them to sort the various kinds of meat wrapped in the material into a large wooden basin and put it in the shady firewood room.
"Princess, wouldn't this be a pity, if the meat stinks," asked a bold woman. That's meat, she hasn't touched so much meat in so many years, and her two shoulders are sour and don't look like her own. The thought of making so much meat stink makes her flesh ache.
"No, it won't." Xue Mingyu smiled and didn't want to say more. For new things, the best thing is to present them directly to others, and no matter how much you spend, most of them are just useless.
The mothers-in-law in the Zhuangzi did not see any movement in the firewood room where the meat was placed for several days, nor did the princess find someone to move the large basins full of meat. I waited for four or five days, but I didn't dare to shout, and my flesh hurt so much that I couldn't sleep well at night.
On the sixth day, Xue Mingyu asked people to string the pots of meat in the firewood room one by one with hemp rope and tie them under the eaves to dry. Because there were too many, as soon as I entered the courtyard where the meat was drying, the rows were full of meat, and there was a curtain of meat.
In winter, the weather is dry and cold, the sun is also big, and the wet meat curtain slowly stops dripping day by day, and after a few days, it begins to drip oil. When it came to the twenty-second day of the lunar month, the woman who secretly ran over to see the pieces of flesh were dry and hard in the thin places, and the fat places were all transparent.
On the morning of the twenty-third day of the lunar month, Xue Mingyu called a few women who helped marinate the meat that day and looked clean and neat. She took a piece of meat and sat down on a small pony in the kitchen, and she commanded that one woman should do it, while the others watched how the bacon was eaten.
The first one is steaming. Cut into slices, put on a plate, sprinkle some green onions, ginger and garlic and steam. The villagers are all doing farm work, they like to eat big oil and water, steamed meat, the thin ones are not dry and hard, the fat ones are translucent and shiny, and the fat ones are still oily, and several women are secretly swallowing saliva.
The second is to boil a boil of water first, then slice it, serve it with green onion leaves, or beans, fry it first and then simmer it.
The third is cut into slices, stir-fried with several common vegetables, added water, boiled over high heat, and simmered for a while. In fact, it is a pot of chowder, but the soup is full of thick bacon aroma, and even the vegetables look particularly attractive in the thick white soup.
After the three were done, Sister Ting swallowed a lot of saliva. Xue Mingyu directly rewarded the women with a few cured meats. He also told them that the meat curtains hanging under the porch were all given to the families of the villagers. Let them go back after eating and notify the families to come and collect them in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, Xue Ming gave Yan Zhuangtou and asked him to preside over the distribution of all the meat to the Zhuang family. According to age, those over 10 years old, regardless of male or female, 2 catties per person, 1 catty for 10 years old, and 3 catties for the elderly over 60 years old.
Just after the meat is divided, every family can eat a fragrant New Year's meal.
That night, the whole grange was filled with the smell of bacon. Xue Mingyu and Sister Ting's table are also the main bacon, carefree, and the little girls such as the splendid Jinse brought by them, and there are also bacon and vegetables on the dinner table. The princess said that this is Chinese New Year's Eve.
