"Then stay at home and help, come over tomorrow morning and help me grind the spices into powder first." Several of the children nodded in agreement. In the evening, when the two families were eating, they heard that the villagers had gone to the ancestral hall to gather, and they thought that they had already informed the villagers to pick fruits tomorrow.

The two families had dinner at Yang's house, and then went back to rest, and Yang Yun asked his grandfather about ordering pork. Grandpa said that tomorrow morning, the Zhou butcher will pull pork to Yang's house. Yang Yun saw that everything had been arranged, so she went back to her room to rest. Yang Yun returned to the room and took out the copper plates that Yang Yong and them had sold pickled fruits for the past three days, counted them, and distributed the money to them tomorrow.

On the first day, I sold more than 50 catties of plums, and I earned about 400 yuan. On the second and third days, they were all fifty catties of plums and fifty catties of apricots, and the apricots were also sold for eight cents a catty, and they made a total of two taels of silver and more than twenty copper plates in three days. Although it is estimated to be fifty catties a pot, it is not very accurate, and sometimes it is normal to come out with a few catties more. Yang Yun made the decision and distributed the extra twenty copper plates to Yang Xuan and Kong Tianyou. When the two children came home in the evening, they both helped pick plums, so they should be rewarded with some money.

The two little radish heads received the money from Yang Yun, and happily hid the money under the pillow. For the remaining two taels of silver, Yang Yun deducted 200 wen, and took 200 wen from home in the past few days, and the money to buy sugar-pickled fruits should be deducted and returned to the family. In the end, there were 1,800 Wen left, and it just so happened that Yang Yong, Dabao, and Xiaobao could get 600 Wen.

The next day, when Li Dabao and the others came over to help with the work, Yang Yun gave them a few of the money, and as a result, the three boys counted 100 wen out of the money they got and gave it to Yang Yun, saying that Yang Yun should also share some money for helping them pickle plums these days. Yang Yun did not refuse to come, and directly entered her small treasury.

After breakfast, Yang Yun took the spices to clean them, drained the water, and then took them to the pot and stir-fried them over the heat. Yang Yun asked Yang Yong and them to help themselves and mash the fried spices into powder with a stone mortar. Yang Yun also took the white sesame seeds to the pot, fried them and put them on a plate, and when they waited for a while, they could be sprinkled on top to decorate the dried pork with Titian.

After Yang Yun explained the work of pounding spices, she cleaned the two iron plates with water, and then poured them with boiling water once and put them in the corner to dry. At about nine o'clock in the morning, Zhou Butcher sent a hundred catties of lean meat, and grandpa took the lean meat and paid for it, and carried the lean meat to the kitchen with Uncle Li.

Yang Yun checked the lean meat, the meat was quite fresh, and some of the lean meat was stained with a little fat. Yang Yun and Aunt Li washed the pork, hung it up and drained it. When the pork stopped dripping, Yang Yun and Aunt Li cut the pork into small pieces, and then asked Uncle Li to chop the pork into a meat puree. This work is really time-consuming and laborious, but fortunately, there are many people, grandpa, Uncle Li, and Yang Yong take turns chopping pork puree.

Grandpa, they chopped a pot of meat puree, and Yang Yun began to season the pork puree. The pot of pork puree Yang Yun is estimated to be about ten catties, and Yang Yun put almost 100 grams of five-spice powder. In addition to the five-spice powder, add pepper, rice wine, soy sauce, salt, garlic, ginger, and starch and stir well.

Starch must be added to the pork puree, which can make the pork puree more sticky, and make the pork puree form a lump after being roasted, and finally Yang Yun also added some sugar to it. In fact, there should be more sugar, such pork jerky will be more fragrant and delicious, but Yang Yun considered that Uncle He was walking outside on the dart, and the pork jerky should be stored on the premise, so Yang Yun didn't dare to put too much sugar, if it was too sweet, it would be easy to get moldy.

The first time Yang Yun roasted dried pork, he couldn't grasp the degree, so he could only get a plate and roast it first, try it to see how it tasted, and then add or decrease some ingredients according to the saltiness and sweetness of the pork.

After the pork puree was tasted, Yang Yun took out the two iron plates, first brushed a layer of oil on the plates, then poured the pork puree into the iron plate, and used a rolling pin to gently flatten and compact the pork puree in the iron plate. The thickness of the pork puree in the iron plate is about 0.5 cm, of course, the thinner the better, it is easy to cook, if it is too thick, the outer layer is burnt, and the inside is not fully cooked.

The oven in the kitchen has been firewooden, which makes the temperature inside the oven quite high. After the two iron plates were filled with pork puree, Aunt Li first put a plate of pork puree and roasted it in the oven. The first time I didn't grasp the time, when the iron plate was taken out of the oven, the pork jerky was already burned, Yang Yun just estimated that this plate of jerky had been roasted for more than twenty minutes, which was too long.

Yang Yun scraped out the plate of burnt pork jerky with a knife, Yang Yun cut a small piece and put it in his mouth to taste it, and spit it out, the saltiness and sweetness of the pork jerky are just right, but it has a burnt taste and is bitter, which is the result of the failure of roasting. Of course, these burnt pork jerky can't be eaten, and eating too much burnt stuff is easy to cause cancer.

"Sister, what a pity you poured this pork jerky, bring it to us to eat." Yang Yong watched as Yang Yun took the charred pork jerky and threw it away.

"Brother, you can't eat burnt things, if you eat too much burnt things, you will get sick."

"Is there such a statement?" It was the first time Yang Yong had heard such a statement.

"Of course there is, haven't I read all the medical books given by Grandpa Xu, and there are records on it that some things cannot be eaten indiscriminately, otherwise it is not good for health."

"Well, it's just a shame to pour it out."

"It's okay, this plate of pork puree is not much, with a thin layer, we won't roast it the second time."

"Hmm." Yang Yong and Yang Yun nodded in agreement.

Yang Yun re-made two plates of pork puree into the oven, which would take about ten minutes for Yang Yun to ask Aunt Li to take out the two plates of pork jerky. This time the pork was not burned again, but it was not fully cooked, Yang Yun felt that it was just right, so she scraped out two plates of pork jerky with a knife and turned it over, and then put it in the oven to roast the other side.

The second side of the pork jerky, roasted for more than ten minutes, Yang Yun took out the pork jerky. This pork jerky is roasted successfully, the roasted pork jerky is golden in color, Yang Yun sprinkled a little fried white sesame seeds to enhance the flavor and decoration, the pork jerky on the plate is really shiny and bright, and the fragrance is attractive.

Yang Yun cut a small piece and put it in her mouth to taste, oh my God! It's so delicious, the pork is peppered with pepper and pepper, and the taste is slightly spicy. The roasted pork jerky, delicious and chewy, the taste is better than the jerky of the previous life, the pigs here are eating cereals, more are fed to the pigweed on the mountain, the meat is more fragrant and tender.

Everyone saw that Yang Yun was full of praise for the dried pork, and they all cut some to taste it, but everyone couldn't stop eating it, and the two plates of pork jerky that had just been roasted were divided for everyone like this. This will have experience, Yang Yun and Aunt Li then began to put the pork puree, go into the oven to bake, and the cooked pork jerky has to be taken outside to dry in the sun before it can be loaded and preserved.

The freshly roasted pork jerky was too oily, Yang Yun had already asked Yang Yong to go to the grocery store to buy a bunch of oil paper back, Yang Yun spread the mat at the bottom, and then spread a layer of oil paper on the top of the mat, then put the roasted pork jerky on top of the oil paper, and finally put the whole mat together with the pork jerky to dry in the sun.

The two families spent a whole day to roast only 100 catties of raw pork into pork jerky, and it was very easy to bake the pork dry, but it was too time-consuming to cut pork and chop pork puree, Yang Yun saw Yang Yong and they chopped pork puree, and they couldn't lift their hands when they chopped it. Alas! I really created evil, I always came up with these special things and came out to toss my family.

The two little radishes went home in the evening, and when they saw the dried pork in the courtyard, they naturally wouldn't let go of such delicious food, and the last two little radish heads ate pork jerky, and they couldn't eat until dinner, Yang Yun expressed helplessness to their behavior like this, and even Yang Yun himself couldn't help but want to eat pork jerky.

The next day, Yang Yun's brothers and sisters waited until the morning dew dissipated, about ten o'clock in the morning, before taking out the pork jerky again to bask in the sun. Yang Yun estimated the 100 catties of raw pork, at least 85 catties of roasted pork jerky also came, deducting the ones eaten by the family, there should be 80 catties of pork jerky.

Yang Yun stood in the courtyard and dried pork with Yang Yong, listening to the bustle outside the courtyard gate. This is the whole village pulling fruits, going to the village entrance to pick them so that they can be sold to the Zhu family. Yang's house is very close to the entrance of the village, so the movement outside can be heard clearly. Today, I don't know if the Zhu family came to buy fruits.

Yang Yun's brother and sister were standing in the courtyard drying dried pork, and suddenly heard a knock on their door, Yang Yong walked over and opened the door. As a result, I saw two young men standing outside the door, and one of them, Yang Yong, recognized him, who was the person who went to their stall to talk to them about business in the market yesterday, and seemed to be a servant of the Zhu family.

"Who are you?"

"This little brother, may I ask if this is Li Feng, Li Gongzi's home?" The servant Yang Yong knew stepped forward and asked Yang Yong.

"You're looking for Uncle Li, his home is next door." Yang Yong saw that he was not looking for his own family, so he hurriedly helped the two young people show the way. And Yang Yun heard the voice outside the door a little familiar, walked from the courtyard to the door to take a look, and saw Young Master Zhu and the servant who took him to the Zhu family that day.

"Little girl, is this your home?" Young Master Zhu saw Yang Yun at a glance.

"Yes, this is my family, is Young Master Zhu here to buy fruit today?"

"Well, come and buy fruit today, and come to your house to visit by the way." Young Master Zhu explained his intentions.

"Didn't you just say you were looking for Uncle Li?"

"The little girl who went to the Zhu family with you that day wasn't your family?" Young Master Zhu asked about Yang Yun instead.

"We are neighbors and world friends, if you want to find Uncle Li, his house is next door."

"We're here to find the little girl." When I was talking about business with Young Master Zhu that day, Uncle Li didn't speak at all, so it was not unreasonable for Young Master Zhu to think of Uncle Li as Yang Yun's family. (To be continued.) )
