When Li Yao was working in the field, she watched a colleague in the same dormitory make it. At that time, the balcony of their dormitory was in the shade, which provided a good place for colleagues to dry meat.

She started by making the marinated sauce. Crack the rock sugar with a garlic pestle, and then also crush the star anise with a garlic pestle to make a powder. Finally, the soy sauce, salt, rock sugar, white wine, and star anise powder are put in a large bowl and stirred evenly to make a marinade sauce.

Fortunately, there are white sugar and rock sugar in this strange era, otherwise Li Yao would not know where to get rock candy. She's not a universal woman, she can do anything. She doesn't know how to make white sugar and rock sugar, and at the same time, she doesn't know if brown sugar can replace white sugar and rock sugar when making food?

Putting the sauce aside, she began to cut the strips again. The weather was hot and she was afraid of bad weather, so she cut the meat strips into thinner three-centimeter strips. Then prick the meat strips with bamboo skewers to ensure that the sauce is fully absorbed.

Without rubber gloves, she had to rub the meat strips repeatedly with her hands. This is done so that those sauces can soak well into the meat. After everything is ready, finally put the meat barcode into the clay pot and cover it, put it in the well and ice it for two or three days, and then take it out to dry.

"Is this all right, when will I be able to eat it?" Han Shi saw that she was already washing her hands, so he asked anxiously.

"Hmm...... It's not alright, mother. After the meat is marinated, it has to be dried in a ventilated and cool place for seven or eight days before it can be eaten. ”

"Oh...... I thought I'd be able to eat it in a while. "I've been eating monotonously these days, and I've never seen meat when I've eaten roughly, so it's impossible for Han to say that he is not hungry for meat at all.

Hearing the disappointment in Han's tone, Li Yao said with a smile: "Mother, if you want to eat meat, isn't there still two catties of meat left here?" After a while, I made braised pork for my family to eat. Although we have to save some money in our hands, we can still afford to eat pork once or twice once in a while. ”

Before Li Yao's words fell, Ji Moxuan walked in from outside. He politely shouted "Auntie" to the Han family at this time, and then looked at Li Yao and said, "I heard that you are cooking meat in the kitchen to eat secretly, so I will come and take a look." I'm going to fade out of my mouth these days. You'll make me some later. This is half a tael of silver, which is considered the money for eating, for you! ”

His nephew Miao'er had a severe cold, and he had to spend money on medicine for it. Because their family didn't have anyone to help, they didn't have much money. Later, it was the Li family who took the money out and lent it to his family. Six doses of medicine before and after, a total of sixty taels of silver were spent. Although the Li family was not in a hurry to return the silver, he saw that others were not rich.

Later, his sister, who suddenly had a heart, took out the two worthless pieces of jade that were hidden in her hair bun during the search, and asked the cousin of the Han family to find a pawnshop and sell them, so she exchanged one hundred and thirty taels of silver and returned the Li family's silver.

When he didn't raid his house at first, King Kang's family had a big business, and in Ji Moxuan's eyes, the two pieces of jade that pressed the corners of his sister's skirt were indeed not very valuable.

Seeing the half tael of silver, Han Shi refused: "If the little county king wants to eat, I will ask Ayao to make more, how can I collect your silver." ”

"Auntie is polite. The aunt just called the boy Ah Xuan. I don't think my aunt has a lot of money in her hand. ”

The two excused themselves two or three times, and finally Han looked at his daughter.

Li Yao looked at the half tael of silver and turned her mind: "This bear child, if you want to eat meat, why do you want to say that she steals meat." She's eating openly, okay? It's really not sweet. And does he know what life will be like when he arrives in the penal colony? Spending money so lavishly. One tael of silver is equal to ten pieces of silver, which is equal to one thousand copper coins. As soon as he made a move, he took out half a tael of silver. My cousin bought pork belly for 18 yuan a catty. He spent nearly thirty pounds and half a piglet in one fell swoop. These 30 catties of pork belly can be eaten at home for many days! ”

Seeing her standing there with her fingers crossed and not knowing what she was thinking, Ji Moxuan said impatiently: "Fatty, what do you think?" Give you the money, but you won't take it! ”

Li Yao came back to her senses, as if she hadn't heard the title of "fat", thinking that she didn't care about Ji Moxuan, a hairy boy. So she bluntly refused: "Forget it, I won't take your money this time!" If you want to eat in the future, you should have said that I will charge you money depending on the situation. "Since Ji Moxuan wants to eat, King Kang's family will inevitably follow suit. Because of the guilt of implicating others, my cousin's family has always been taken care of by her family, so my cousin's family wants to eat with her family. Since both families have eaten with them, the Fu family is naturally not easy to fall behind. Her family's money is not rich, so it doesn't matter if other people's families eat once or twice, but it's really not okay to keep doing this.

"Then, you take this silver first, if the rain doesn't stop, our family will eat with your family. …… If so, the money seems to be less again. As he spoke, Ji Moxuan took out about three coins of silver from his arms, and gave them to Li Yao even the previous ones.

was in a hurry to make cakes, Li Yao didn't refuse, she took the silver unceremoniously.

At this time, Han reprimanded his daughter with a straight face: "Ah Yao, how can you take the silver of the little county king!" ”

After taking the silver, Li Yao looked at Han with an obedient expression and signaled Han not to worry. Then she looked at Ji Moxuan and explained: "This money is too much to eat this meal, if you keep eating it for the past few days, you won't be able to count much money for the time being." In short, let's refund more and make up less...... I'll tell you. Eat whatever you do, and don't be picky! I won't do it for you in the future. I have to walk 50 miles every day, and it takes a lot of effort to cook, so I really don't have that much energy to take care of others. I advise you to save the silver in your hand, I heard that Miao'er used more than sixty taels of silver to see a doctor and take medicine for wind and cold. The silver is really unspent, and the days to come will be long. ”

The amount of money in Princess Kang's hand, she can probably estimate. After all, it was the jade that his cousin helped pawn. It didn't take much effort for her to persuade her. There was not much silver left, so I persuaded King Kang's family to save flowers.

“…… All right. Ji Moxuan thought about these words, and he no longer paid attention to these details with Li Yao. Where would he have put this less than a tael of silver in his eyes before? But now...... Without thinking about it anymore, he saluted Han and went out.

It's just that in the end, he hurriedly came back and said, "Miao'er is cold, he doesn't have much appetite, can you make him something delicious?" He said this, pausing before adding, "...... I'm sorry for you. ”

From the little county king to the exile, Ji Moxuan only woke up at this time. In the past, he was high, and others obeyed him, and he knew how to be polite to others.

After thinking about it and pausing for a while, Li Yao agreed: "...... Well, I think about it. She doesn't know much, but she remembers a kind of joy from her hometown in her previous life, and she can do it.

Seeing that she agreed, Ji Moxuan, who was a little nervous in his heart, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and smiled. He rarely asks for help, but now that he does, and others don't agree, isn't he losing face.

When Ji Moxuan left, Li Yao continued the matter, she quickly made the noodles of the hair into a mixture, and at the same time made the puff pastry noodles into an equivalent agent.

Han followed her example and wrapped the puff pastry with oil and water surface agent. A total of five catties of noodles were used to knead fifty shortbread doughs.

The next step is to flatten the dough and roll it out into long strips, then roll the strips from top to bottom.

"Mother, let's do this first, and I'll have to eat for about a quarter of an hour." A quarter of an hour is fifteen minutes, but in fact, ten minutes is enough. At this time, she planned to put the clay pot of cured bacon in the well and hang it, and Han Shi also followed.

After coming back and waiting for a while, she rolled out the rolled agent into long strips, folded them three times, and gently rolled them out a little. Finally, it's time to make the cake with a pan. The guards of this inn were an old couple who had lived here for a long time, and they had a pan for cooking pancakes.
