The story of Hu running away with her baggage has always been talked about, and they all thought that she just went back to her parents' house, but Hu never came back, and no one knew where she went, whether she was dead or alive.

Mrs. Deng will not stop there, the Deng family can no longer withstand the toss, and Deng Fuwang has exhausted the family's funds, and the fields are all rented by tenants, but the rent is ridiculously expensive, and after paying the rent, the family has no grain for half a year, just begging for food.

The only consolation is that the two pigs in the family are very well raised, and seeing that the New Year is about to come, they are waiting to sell it for the New Year, and the remaining silver is also saved, so that they can prepare a dowry for their daughter-in-law and Fengzhen.

To put it mildly, these two pigs are Mrs. Deng's life-saving straw, but the Hu family sold them without even a single hair left, is this still necessary?

Mrs. Deng is this person, whoever wants her life, she will fight with whomever she wants.

Therefore, the Hu family sold her two pigs and livestock, that is, it was her life, how could Mrs. Deng give up?

The Hu family ran away, but the Hu family's maiden family is still there, and the debts owed by the Hu family should be repaid by the Hu family.

So, Mrs. Deng went to the Hu family to make trouble, and insisted that the Hu family compensate, in addition to the two pigs, there are also livestock and Deng Fengzhen's dowry.

The Hu family naturally won't bow their heads, but what kind of person is Mrs. Deng, she is first-class, the Hu family doesn't give silver, she keeps making trouble and scolding, and she forced the Hu family to lose ten taels of silver, Mrs. Deng still wants to make trouble again, and the Hu family beat her out, which stopped. The two families completely tore their faces, and Deng Fugui really threw a letter of resignation to the Hu family, and since then the two families have become feuds from their in-laws.

Qin Ruwei just laughed when she heard it.

On the eighth day of the lunar month, each family eats and cooks Laba porridge and gives it to each other, Qin Ruwei's family is no exception, and now their family is also the first one, and many people come to tie up, all holding porridge to distribute.

The Qin family's laba porridge was full of ingredients and thickened, which was praised by many people, and Qin Ruwei sent the big girl to send it to the dealer in person to show her sincerity, which made the Gu family a little unhappy, but she didn't say much.

Aunt Zhuang's attitude has always been lukewarm, and she has not let go of her mouth on the family affairs between Zhuang Churan and Qin Ruwei, although Qin Ruwei is helpless, she has not been shy to greet her.

She really can't do the thing of sticking a hot face to someone's cold ass, so it's just a matter of etiquette.

Aunt Zhuang didn't think so, even if the other party was the right-hand girl next to Qin Ruwei, but she didn't come herself, so she was extremely unhappy.

She thought to herself, since you want to marry into my banker's family, especially in the face of your future mother-in-law, you should do everything possible to let a girl come, what is the matter?

Aunt Zhuang subtracted Qin Ruwei by one point in her heart.

Qin Ruwei didn't know Aunt Zhuang's thoughts, as soon as Laba passed, every household began to kill pigs to prepare for the New Year's ceremony, so Shili Tunzi often heard the terrible cry of the pig's howl.

Qin Ruwei was invited to eat a few pig-killing meals, and the large pieces of pork made her tired of eating, but she was nostalgic for the pork jerky snacks in her previous life, especially the dried meat in a certain casino, which made her salivate even more.

Pork jerky and beef jerky are excellent snacks, which are durable and shelf-stable, and can be used as dry food, but they are the best choice for all ages.

Qin Ruwei thought about it, and thought of another trick - making pork jerky.

Just do it, take advantage of the slack and the year is approaching, and the weather has been blowing from the north wind recently, and you can see the sun, it is a good weather to dry, don't try it, but when?

She personally bought dozens of catties of pig's front and rear leg meat, took Aunt Xu and a few girls to remove the broken bones, cartilage, hair, etc., cleaned the meat, and then cut the cleaned pork pieces into pieces, each piece of half a catty to about six taels.

To make jerky, the pickling process is the most test, and if one is not handled well, the meat will be easy to change taste or grow worms. Therefore, it is generally done in winter, because in winter, the weather is cold, the meat is not easy to taste, and it will not be rotten, of course, if there is an ice cellar or something, it can be done at any time.

Qin Ruwei has never made jerky, but she also knows the ingredients for marinated meat, she asked Aunt Xu, and she carefully recalled the taste of the jerky she had eaten in her previous life, and what spices were probably added to it, and bought it back together.

First, the cut meat is marinated with salt, cooking wine, soy sauce, ice water, etc., stirred carefully and then placed to wait for the flavor, which is stirred several times, and only after a day can the next step be carried out.

Aunt Xu, including the Gu family, thought that Qin Ruwei was just pickled bacon, but was the cured bacon to be cooked?

Aunt Xu wanted to speak, but when she saw Qin Ruwei's serious side, she had to swallow back the words that came to her mouth, just she, she is a subordinate, what does the master want to do, and she will put her beak in turn?

Silently according to Qin Ruwei's instructions, he put the marinated meat pieces in a pot with various spices to cook, and held the fire, thinking to himself, it will not be cooked, this can't be made of marinated jerky, then cook and eat.

Qin Ruwei naturally didn't know what was in her heart, so she only made jerky according to her own ideas with great interest, and thought that if it was done, Situ Fang's guy would be overjoyed when he came back.

However, it's almost the New Year, he has already returned home, shouldn't he come here for the New Year?

Qin Ruwei's eyes darkened, and she didn't come back to her senses until Aunt Xu reminded her that the pieces of meat were six mature, scooped up all the pieces of meat, and let the girls take them out and put them in the yard to cool.

Gu Shi looked strange and asked, "Do you still have to cook the cured bacon jerky?" What are you doing? Don't waste all the meat on your front and back legs. ”

"The bacon has to be steamed and eaten, I made this, but you can eat it at any time, as a snack." Qin Ruwei smiled slyly.

In winter, the weather is cold and cold, the meat is quickly cooled down, cut it into small pieces, do the final firing, this pot of special white soup is different from the previous time, add salt, sugar, maltose, etc. to turn and cook, and add spices and cooking wine when the marinade is still half. Control the temperature, time and heat, and stir well until the soup is completely absorbed by the meat.

When the pieces of meat are cooked through, the aroma is mouth-watering.

"Obediently, how much spice work does it take to make such a pot of dried meat." Qin Ruwei made a move, it was varied, Gu couldn't even see it, and he couldn't wait to have two more pairs of eyes to look at it carefully.

It's all human, why can't she think of such a curved way, and then looking at Qin Ruwei's confident and cheerful appearance, she can't help but think, how long is this girl's brain, I haven't seen her have this ability before?

She had a hunch that when this pot of jerky was completely ready, she might make another profit.

Gu Shi's heart was itching, it seemed that some steps had been missed just now, and he was annoyed.

Qin Ruwei didn't know what Gu was fighting in her heart at all, and only led people to dry the cooked meat slices on a specially made barbed wire, piece by piece, although the color is not as beautiful as what you see in modern times, but this is pure natural, and absolutely no additives or pigments are added.

Finally, it is baked, and the best silver charcoal bought is put together into a small pot, baked until it is dry, and then dried and baked again until it is completely dry.

In order to experiment, Qin Ruwei also deliberately made several flavors, spicy, honey-flavored, and lined up piece by piece, which made people's mouths water.

The people in the Qin Mansion all looked at the palm-sized pieces of jerky curiously, this is the jerky made by their master? Can you store it for a long time, can you just eat it like this?

"Taste them all." Qin Ruwei tore a piece of spicy taste first.

The pork used is the best front and rear leg meat, and the pigs here are all really domesticated, and the meat quality is naturally not doubtful, if there is wild boar, it will be more beautiful.

In the mouth, the meat was tender, the juice was thick and sweet, with a little spicy, Qin Ruwei's eyes lit up.

Jerky, this is pork jerky, she really made it.

"Ah, it tastes so good, it's delicious." Glutinous rice was the first to praise.

The rest of the people all tore a little bit and tasted it, and they tasted all the flavors, and they didn't need to speak to taste, just look at the expressions on their faces, and they knew that this jerky was passed!

"The old slave has lived for decades, and it is the first time he has eaten such jerky." Xu Boba smacked his mouth and said.

"It would be better if there was wine." Qin Da Niu said happily.

Uncle Xu's eyes lit up, this uncle said what he thought in his heart, he just thought like this, but he didn't dare to say it because he was in front of the master, this is a good thing to drink, and it is convenient to eat, if you travel a long way and tear a little to eat, is it better than gnawing on that dry steamed bun?

Uncle Xu had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and looked at Qin Ruwei with some surprise, could it be that his master had already made this plan?

"Shiro, if you still eat it, you will eat it all." Sanniang snorted Shiro lightly and pulled back his paws that were stretched out to the jerky: "My sister-in-law must be of great use if she makes it, just taste it, don't be greedy." ”

Shiro muttered, but he didn't dare to stretch out his hand again, and only looked at Qin Ruwei timidly.

"Ouch, there are so many pieces of jerky, it's okay to eat two pieces, just make it after eating." Gu Shi puffed up his mouth and said, and peeked at Qin Ruwei when he spoke.

Qin Ruwei didn't refute her, but just distributed a piece to Shiro and the other children, and then told Qiulan to get some oil paper to wrap it.

"We keep some of it at home, and we can entertain guests during the New Year's holidays, and the rest will be wrapped up in a pound and a bag." Qin Ruwei instructed: "It just so happens that our family is going to give a New Year's gift, and it is not bad to add a pack of dried meat." ”

Qiulan and the others should go down and be busy not mentioning it.

"Big brother, please go to see which house to kill pigs with Uncle Xu again, and buy some, in addition to the front and rear leg meat, also buy some loin." Qin Ruwei groaned: "By the way, if there is a wild boar, just buy it whole." We're going to be busy again. ”

When Gu Shi heard this, he reacted very quickly and said, "Wei girl, do you want to make these jerky to sell for silver?" ”

Qin Ruwei glanced at her: "What's wrong?" If you have money to earn, why don't you make it? This jerky is a must-have gift for home travel. ”

Great Xia Kingdom, it seems that there is no such snack, dare to be the first person to eat crabs, in order to earn silver, she is the one who eats crabs. R1154
