Li Yao thought that it was estimated that this hard-working grandfather was grateful in his heart, but he was afraid that he would not be able to repay his great favor in his lifetime, so he had to say nothing. It was only after the uncle of the Han family left that he instructed the juniors of the Li family to remember to repay this kindness.

Li Jimin did this, but Li Yao's cousin Han Jin was moved and uncomfortable. He said secretly: In the past two years, their Han family has also taken advantage of their in-laws to settle the lawsuit that has been entangled......

Although Li Yao didn't know the situation of Shilin, she felt that there was always a prospect of selling goods from the north to the south, but the merchants were not as simple as they said. First of all, road safety hazards are a big problem. What's more, now that her cousin has followed them alone on the road to exile, she will have to suffer a lot on the way.

In ancient times, there were no highways that were repaired, and even the official roads in ancient times were sometimes full of potholes. What's more, their exile road is to climb mountains and wade through waters, exposed to the wind and sun, which is difficult and dangerous, and Li Yao has not felt much along the way. I heard that the further you go to the Stone Forest, the harder the road becomes!

Li Yao just wants to say that if she can return to modern times, she must sing the praises of the motherland's highways. Although the highway of the motherland does not need to be praised by the small.

Li Yao thought again, her cousin's family took care of the Li family, and the Li family always owed her cousin's family. In the future, if she has the ability, she will definitely repay her cousin's family.

What Han Jin's master and servant bought, Li Yao flipped through. Seeing that she didn't miss anything she needed, she began to take a jar the size of a cantaloupe, cut the ginger slices, soaked it in rice vinegar, and covered it tightly. Then he began to make salted eggs, shortbread and bacon.

She washed the eggs and was drying them, and Han Shi entered the kitchen: "What are you doing here?" Your grandfather said that the noodles you ate two days ago were delicious, so let you make more and take them with you on the road. ”

She didn't know where her daughter learned the craft, but she heard her say that there were many kinds of food, and she would make it after listening to some before. She didn't believe her daughter's statement. But she couldn't ask anything else, so she had to arrange for her daughter to eat. In short, it's not a bad thing that my daughter knows some tea and rice skills.

"Make some salted eggs and bacon to eat on the road. Eggs can supplement the body's nutrition, and bacon can be stored for a longer time. Look at this day, I don't know when the rain will stop. If it's too late, put the bacon on my cousin's donkey cart, and when it's time to dry, hang it under the canopy of the curtain to dry. After more than a month, everyone has worked hard, and today my grandfather also said that buying some meat, eggs and white flour will improve it, so I thought about making some shortbread. ”

Occasionally, her daughter would come up with words that she didn't understand, and after asking them clearly, Han felt that those words were fresh and vivid. Now she's used to it. Because she had heard her daughter say the word "nutrition", she did not question the word "nutrition" in her daughter's words.

Li Yao learned the practice of bacon from a colleague. Most of her trades were learned from her mother and distant uncle in her previous life. She hadn't learned all the skills of her mother in her previous life, but she did learn some.

Fortunately, she also inquired, and Datai was not rich in pasta at this time, which made her a little useful. She said in her heart, this is probably the so-called golden finger.

Pickled salted eggs, Han will do. So Han soaked the dried eggs in wine and salt, while Li Yao went to boil the lard.

The lard has been boiled and cooled. Li Yao added lard and water to the flour and revitalized the oil and water. Then she made some flour and added lard, salt, and ground peppercorn flour to make the puff pastry.

Looking at the live noodles in her hand, Han Jin's little maid Noble widened his eyes and said in surprise: "With so much lard, it should be delicious!" ”

Belch...... Well, at this time there is vegetable oil, which is sesame oil. But the yield is not high and expensive, so Li Yao has to use lard for everything. In modern times, where is this bit of oil? However, she did know that puff pastry was delicious when made with lard.

As for stir-frying, it should also be mentioned here that the price of oil is expensive, and it is rare for people to eat meat on weekdays. As a result, most of the food is steamed and cooked, and stir-fried vegetables are basically absent.

Han Shi was puzzled at this time, and looked at his daughter's non-stop movements in puzzlement: "Shortbread, bacon, what are these?" Why haven't I heard of it? ”

There is no bacon in the memories of the original body, Li Yao thinks about it, Datai does not have bacon.

"Ah...... Bacon, haven't you eaten it? ”

"I've never eaten shortbread or anything. I eat pancakes a lot, and I also eat them!" Han Jin also interjected at this time.

"yes!" Noble then chimed in.

It turns out that there are no shortbread here! At this time, Han was rolling up his sleeves to wash the meat.

Li Yao didn't bother to respond to her cousin's words and servants, but stopped Han: "Mother, you don't need to wash it." After washing the meat, the cured bacon will give birth to insects. Don't worry about it, mother, you go and rest first, I'll call you when I'm ready. Cousin, go and rest. ”

Seeing her daughter say this, Han retorted: "It's finally time to rest, but you're busy. My mother can't do it, just learn from the side, and I can help you when I turn around. ”

Knowing that the Han family would not go back to the house to rest, Li Yao no longer persuaded her.

Han Jin felt that he was a big man and was not suitable to stay in the kitchen. So he touched the back of his neck embarrassedly at this time, and said with a smile: "Hehe...... Can I just wait for it, auntie? ”

"Go, gentleman Yuanchu, you shouldn't stay here, I've wronged you these days, you should hurry up and go to the house to talk to Yi'er." Noble also go, you can't help here. ”

The official post house is divided into two areas, one for officials and the other for prisoners. Ordinary people are not allowed to live. Therefore, Han Jin and Noble mostly make do in the donkey cart, and occasionally spend some money to go to the guest house. Live like this, save money!

"Thank you, Auntie." Hearing Han Shi answer his words, Han Jin happily called the little maid Noble Treasure, turned his head and left. Let him do the errands and help out, he can. But let him watch in the kitchen or make a fire, he can't. He didn't think he had that talent.

At this time, Li Yao put the oil and water surface aside and began to cut the pork. She felt that she couldn't look at her cousin with a modern eye.

Although most girls hope to have a boyfriend who can cook and hurt. However, some of the traditional ideas of the ancients are not something that we can correct at a moment's notice. Besides, some people are not born to like to go into the kitchen, which is also impossible to force.

Han was afraid of disturbing his daughter's busy work, so he watched quietly from the side.

Li Yao didn't dare to do more, the weather was getting hotter, and she didn't know if she could do it well this season? So she only let her cousin buy five catties of pork. There was no refrigerator here, and she saw that there was a well in the inn, so she planned to stack the meat in the clay pot, and then put the clay pot in the well to freeze.
