On the side of the slaughterhouse, baskets of pork are being weighed, and the freshly cut pork has been roughly rinsed and sorted, and buyers and sellers are waiting at the large scale to witness the weighing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

There are many kinds of meat: tenderloin, rump meat, hip meat, pork belly, sandwich meat, front row meat, milk breast, marble, hoof meat, neck meat, and pork head meat.

No matter what kind of meat, no matter how much it is, it is in short supply, and the purchases of the various liquor stores, the butchers, and the swineherds are ready, and after bargaining, they will wait for the weight to be weighed and the meat will be handed over with one hand.

There are many pig farms in Huangzhou, in order to avoid the flow of dead pigs and sick pigs into the market to harm the people, the pigs of the pig farm must be killed in the slaughterhouse, and the pork obtained can be sold in the city, and the private slaughter meat is not allowed to be sold in the city.

Considering that the ham makers are particular about pork, and the liquor stores basically have a fixed supply of goods, and at the same time, in order to prevent the slaughterers from bullying the market, the slaughterhouse has taken flexible measures to kill pigs.

The butcher who kills the pig is not necessarily the employee of the slaughterhouse, the pig seller and the pork collector can find their own butcher and kill the pig in the slaughterhouse, but the live pig must be inspected by the pig killing farm personnel, and the whole process of killing the pig is supervised.

The weighing is also a "conscience scale", both buyers and sellers can rest assured, and the government can rest assured, after all, once sick and dead pork enters the market, it is easy to cause human life and even plague.

The slaughterhouse is actually called the "pig market", where the bulk of pork trading in Xiyang City is carried out, and because of the huge demand, it is very lively every day.

Pots of washed lean pork are transported to the yard across the wall from the slaughterhouse, passed through boiling water, then placed on a cutting board and chopped into small pieces, weighed and plated.

On the side, someone put the total amount of ginger and green onion on each plate, which is regarded as an ingredient.

In the pergola in the courtyard, several stoves are lined up, on which is the famous Huangzhou big iron pot, the chef pours the chopped small pieces of pork and ingredients into the iron pot, adds water, and the cooks start to cook the meat on the fire.

The kitchen supervisor on the side looked at the wall clock next to him and started to time it.

When the water in the pot begins to boil, the cook uses a spoon to skim out the foam floating on the water, turn to low heat and continue to cook the meat.

I don't know how long it took, the chef looked at the time, and was about to speak, but the cook had already taken out chopsticks one step in advance to test the pork in the pot, and the pork at this time was already soft and rotten, and it could be inserted with chopsticks.

"It's out of the pot!"

The cook takes out the pork and puts it on a plate, and the cook quickly brings it aside, and after it has cooled, he tears it into strips with his hands and crushes it with a rolling pin.

The crushed pork is brought to the stove on the other side, placed in a large iron pot with a certain amount of salt and soy sauce, and then stir-fried by the cook with an iron stir-fry spatula, and the soy sauce and salt are constantly added during the stir-frying process.

The amount of ingredients is fixed, and the number of times is also regulated, a total of three times, and the time of stir-frying is required, and there is a kitchen supervisor throughout the process.

Just stir-fry on low heat until the pork in the pot is golden brown, the cook stops stir-frying, pours out the fluffy and non-fleshy pork, picks up some and puts it in his mouth and tries it, and says "Okay" to the chef on the side.

The chef also took some and put it in his mouth to taste it, nodded and motioned for the chef to come forward, weigh the processed pork products, put them into a thick paper bag and glue them well, and then write the date of frying.

Meat floss, a famous product in Huangzhou, is also a kind of food that first appeared in Huangzhou, and is as famous as Huangzhou ham.

It is also known as meat crisp and meat wool, which is a filamentous minced powder made after removing the moisture from the meat, which can be stored for several months, and is easy to carry, tastes good, and can be eaten with other things, which can arouse people's gluttony.

For example, meat floss cookcakes are cheap and affordable for everyone, and there are various dishes about meat floss in the wine shop, some are used for condiments, side dishes, and some are used to cook dishes alone.

There are many shops that make ham in Xiyang City, and there are also many shops that make meat floss.

The meat floss is shelf-stable, and because soy sauce and salt are put in the stir-frying process, it has a salty taste and can be served with rice, which is perfect as a condiment for military meals.

The war was imminent, and the government placed an order to purchase meat floss on a large scale in Xiyang City, because only here in Huangzhou was there a large and cheap pork.

The state officials served as the supervising cook, supervising the whole process of making the meat floss, and these meat floss was also quantitatively canned and became the military ration of the Shannan official army.

The only thing to pay attention to is the quality, the fried meat floss must be fried very dry, so that it can be left for a long time; The meat used must be normal pork, not sick or dead pork, nor "rice pork".

Every ten bags are packed in a large paper bag, and then loaded and transported to the workshop in the city to be centralized, and other meat floss are subject to spot checks, and after passing the qualification, they are packed and shipped out.

The meat floss made in Xiyang City is not only pork floss.

。。。。。。

In Padang City, a burst of meat aroma came out of the workshop, and more than a dozen large iron pots were frying meat floss, which was different from the slaughterhouse in Xiyang City, and Padang City was fried fish floss.

The live fish is decapitated with head and tail, scales and internal organs, the swim bladder is boiled with maw gum, and the remaining fish body is steamed in a steamer, and then the bones are removed and the meat is removed.

Crush the fish, put it in a large iron pot and fry it with ginger, salt, and soy sauce, and fry it until the meat becomes dry and loose.

There is more pork in Huangzhou, more fish, and more chickens and ducks, and the orders placed by the officials and soldiers include the meat floss processed from these kinds of meat, and only Huangzhou has the ability to take this large order.

Killing a pig is a hard work, and killing a pig requires the cooperation of several people; It only takes one person to kill chickens and ducks, but the amount is too large; Although killing fish is not troublesome, it is not a hard work, but it is very troublesome to remove the thorns and remove the meat.

In order to ensure the quality, there can be no thorns left in the meat floss to affect the taste, so a large number of people are needed to remove the spines and remove the meat.

Fortunately, it doesn't take much effort here, so as long as the old and young women and children are not dazzling, they can help.

Most of the residents of Padang City are military dependents, and after the order was divided, the military families were also mobilized to kill fish and boil fish maw glue, and even the little ones came to help.

The military family of Yufloss is paid to pay by piece, which arouses everyone's enthusiasm even more, at the East Wharf of Padang City, fishing boats are fishing in the big lake every day, and the fishermen in the villages around the lake bring fresh big fish every day.

The busy scene of making fish floss has lasted for more than a month, and the officials of Patong County have spot-checked the quality of fish floss to the point of vomiting, because the way of spot checking is to eat, and no matter how delicious things are, they will get tired of eating too much, let alone get tired of wanting to vomit.

Looking at the plate of fish floss, the county guard Xu Shao held back the feeling of nausea, and signaled the officials around him to start spot checking, everyone tasted the taste with a bitter face, and then drank water to rinse their mouths, and after a while, their stomachs swelled and they had to run to the toilet.

Several people hurriedly walked in from outside the courtyard, holding a basket of paper bags, which is a packaging bag made by the paper mill, specially used to hold meat floss, the quality must be excellent, and the bottom should be glued firmly and not leak the bottom.

It also has to have a certain moisture-proof ability, so the paper of this paper bag is somewhat special, called kraft paper, which is not available elsewhere, even if there is similar paper, the price is not as cheap as the kraft paper in Huangzhou.

"Mingfu, today... Day... Delivery... Delivered. ”

The delivery man said, before he could catch his breath, Xu Shao glanced at the wall clock, the time was just right.

"This time is really accurate, it has been like this for several days in a row, and the official wants to know, will your paper mill not be able to pick it up in a few days?"

"No, no, no, the grass people don't dare to delay the delivery, it's really understaffed, and now they are working overtime to paste paper bags overnight, for fear of making mistakes."

"If you don't have enough manpower, you can find a way! If you miss the deadline for delivery, the official can't escape, and neither can you! ”

Those few people nodded their heads in a hurry, and kept explaining that the paper mill was too busy, not only their family, but all the paper mills in Huangzhou are now working overtime to paste paper bags.

The paper in Huangzhou is cheap, so I am willing to make paper bags to fill the meat floss, but the orders of the officials and soldiers are too big, so big that they can't even make paper bags.

"Not enough people? Are not the people of your host's house? Aren't friends and relatives people? Aren't the three aunts, six mothers-in-law, and distant relatives people? ”

"Ming Mansion! This is all counted, but it is really too busy, the owner went around to recruit workers, and as a result, there were stores everywhere recruiting people, where could they grab it. ”

"It is said that after the autumn is the agricultural slack, as a result, now the promotion of rice and wheat rotation, the farmers are not idle, and the number of people who can be recruited is less than half, and the rest, the cloth mill recruits half of it, and there are chickens and duck farms to recruit people to kill chickens and ducks and pluck feathers, and there are butchers who need help..."

"That's your problem, for whatever reason, it has to be delivered on time!"

After beating the guys in the paper mill, Xu Shao continued to supervise the work, and the other party said that he knew that there was a shortage of short-term workers in Xiyang City, and even some workshops went to Badong City to recruit workers.

The large order brought by Yuwenwen for Huangzhou made everyone so busy that they almost didn't touch the ground, but after being tired, they counted the copper coins in their hands, and everyone was smiling.

This is different from the usual day, the officials and soldiers raise military rations, and the people are naked, not being conscripted and sent to serve in labor for nothing as before, and the "win-win" mentioned by Yu Wenwen has been vividly manifested in this matter.

But Xu Shao doesn't understand one thing, the people are making a profit, but where is the "profit" of the official army? Winning a battle can be considered profitable, right?

In previous years, when the army was used, the officials and the army did not make such a large purchase from the people, and they also fought wars, but this time the government will not spend less money, is it worth it? (To be continued.) )
