"Lao Li, I see that there is a big iron pot for concocting drugs in the wing, you go wash it out and build a big stove in the backyard."

"Mother Li, you wash all the sewer, Lao Li builds the pot and stove, and let him help you cut the pig's head into such big squares."

"Mother, you go to the medicine garden to pick some peppercorns and come back."

Li Han had already begun to call the shots.

Li Wan asked confusedly, "Han'er, is the pepper a small fruit on the Li pepper trees around the garden?" It's all done on it, what's the use of picking it? ”

"Yes, yes, it's those little red particles, mother, be careful not to prick your hands, pick as many as you can."

Everyone didn't know why, but they all did as Li Han instructed, he went into the house, opened his big bag, and took out a delicate stainless steel box, which contained the seasoning he had prepared for survival training, and the rest was just that, the chili pepper could not be without.

Li Han recalled the meal he had at the restaurant today, and felt that the days without chili peppers were simply unbearable, and he was reluctant to use up all the chili peppers he brought, so he thought about planting the seeds he brought as soon as possible, so as not to bear the pain of not having to eat.

It's autumn now, and it's not the season to plant vegetables, but this can't help Li Han, he has already had a plan, he doesn't plan to plant any more medicinal herbs when he collects them, and the big house that concocts medicinal materials is idle, so he just change the house into a greenhouse.

The family was busy until the afternoon, and finally everything was ready, Li Han was about to start cooking meat, he asked Li Wan to cut it with a piece of fine linen, wrap the peppercorns into a pack, and throw the pepper he brought into a bag and throw it into the pot, and went to the room where the medicine was dried to find some spice medicine and put it in it, and when he put the salt, he looked at Li Da when he handed him the pimple-like object that was green and gray, and showed a suspicious look.

"What is this?"

"Salt, young master."

Li Han frowned and licked it, and when he landed, a salty bitter and huge alkaline taste stimulated his taste buds, and he finally understood what strange smell was the food he ate at the restaurant at noon, it turned out that there was something wrong with this salt, and he spit out and asked, "Is this really salt?" Why does it taste so weird? ”

Li Wan sighed and said, "Han'er, this is salt, you won't even forget this taste, right?" ”

Li Han was stunned for a long time, and then remembered that it might be that the technique of refining salt in the Han Dynasty was too inferior, this kind of salt was clearly not sea salt, it was refined from mineral soil, and this taste was not strange.

"Forget it, if you use this to cook meat, it's strange if it tastes good, you take it first, and then process it when I'm free, use mine first." Li Han was in a hurry to cook the meat and said without thinking.

Immediately, the family was surprised to see Li Han open a shiny box, pour out a snow-white fine powder and throw it into the pot, and then began to cook the meat on high heat.

Li Wan curiously pinched a little bit of fine powder and put it in her mouth, and exclaimed in surprise for a moment: "Oh my God, there is still this kind of salt in the world?" Han'er, where did you get that? ”

Li Da and his wife also tasted it curiously, and they were stupid, looking at Li Han like a goblin.

Li Han smiled and said: "Don't worry, mother, the child's ability is great, this is what I purified with coarse salt pimples, and I will show you tomorrow." ”

When Li Wan picked up Li Han, she saw him wearing a strange adult clothes and fainting on the road with a big bag on his back, and he felt that this child was very strange at that time, and he was really desperate before he came up with the idea of changing the child, and now he feels more and more that Li Han's origin is strange, but he doesn't dare to ask about the secret in his heart.

An hour later, the smell of meat came, making several people drool, Li Han smiled and fished out a large piece of meat, as well as pork liver and heart, and asked Li's mother to chop it and bring it out, he said: "Come on, everyone try my craftsmanship, if it's delicious, we'll sell it later." ”

Li Wan took the pork liver handed to her by Li Han and tasted it, and said in surprise: "Oh my God, can this cheap meat still make this kind of taste?" ”

Li Hanzhi said that although pigs have existed in China since ancient times, they have not occupied the home field of edible meat, and the dignitaries are used to eating mutton, and pork is indeed called cheap meat, but he immediately thought, no one liked to eat it before because I didn't come, with me, I will make this meat a treasure.

Not only Li Wan was amazed by what she ate, but Lao Li and his wife were also very happy.

After eating, Li Han instructed Lao Li to take out all the meat that had been boiled in the pot, divide it into pieces of meat the size of a child's fist, and put them into a cleaned bamboo basket one by one.

At this moment, it was already evening, and in the back door of the barracks, the junior officers who were on duty walked out in twos and threes, they all wanted to go to the city to drink, and when they passed by Li Han's stall, they saw a child with clear eyebrows standing there, and they all stopped curiously.

Li Han was holding a large plate in his hand, which contained all kinds of meat that he had instructed Li's mother to cut into small dices, and asked Li Da to cut a lot of thin bamboo skewers and put them on the edge of the plate, and when he saw a sergeant coming over, he smiled and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the ancestral craft of the boy's family, Li Ji cooked meat, taste it for free, if you think it is delicious, ten big dollars and a big piece, please try it." ”

The sergeants stood still, watching Li Han tie the meat with a small bamboo stick and hand it to them, after eating it, they were all amazed, I didn't expect the meat sold by this kid to be so delicious, ten dollars a piece is not expensive, many people bought several pieces, Li Han wrapped them in lotus leaves and let them take them away.

The sergeants who bought the meat did not go to the city, and after returning to the barracks, more people came out to buy meat, and it was sold out in half an hour.

Li Han smiled and said that he would come every evening, and those sergeants liked this clean and unspoken child very much, and many of them even gave him some extra money.

Li Wan waited at home with Li's mother worriedly, and when Li Han walked in the door humming a song, before he could speak, Lao Li had already shouted in a trembling voice: "Miss, the little master is a God of Wealth, this kung fu, we sold it for a lot of money!" ”

Li Wan was surprised and delighted, watching a large pile of copper coins poured out of the money bag she made for Li Han, even if she was mentally prepared, she was still taken aback.

Li Han has already calculated the account, a pig's head cut into meat pieces is at least ten yuan, and ten dollars a piece is one hundred, not to mention that it is still given away for free, a pair of pig intestines cut into sections can be sold for a hundred, plus pig liver, pig heart, pig lungs, a pair of head and hooves into the water to earn more than 300 percent, today is 20 pairs, at least more than 600 yuan.

Li Wan counted them one by one and said, "Nine hundred and thirty!" Han'er, I remember that I only left you more than three hundred ......"

"Yes, mother, it cost more than two hundred dollars to buy raw materials."

"Hiss......" Li Wan gasped: "Han'er, just this pot of meat, you made more than seven hundred dollars?" Your dad can't make that much money in a month practicing medicine! ”

Li Han said disapprerovingly: "This is just the beginning, I plan to wait for us to save enough money, I will go to the city to open a shop, as for what to sell, I will think about it first." ”

At night, Li Han did not go to bed early, he melted the coarse salt bought by Li Da into a pot of boiling water, strained it with fine linen several times, and put another smooth wooden board on the pot, and dug a big hole with a Swiss army knife in the middle of the board, and made a groove around the big hole, and fastened the lid on the top.

Under the fire, the brine in the pot turns into steam and comes up through the big hole in the middle of the wooden plank, and the steam condenses into a more concentrated mist of water, and then rushes out along those grooves, and the air outside is cold, and it becomes water droplets.

Li Han thought that he had to solve the problem of steam cooling as soon as possible, but now he had to make do with it first, he collected the water droplets, and when the water in the pot boiled dry, there was half a basin of water droplets collected again.

Wash the pot, pour the distilled salt water into the pot, simmer over low heat, and when the water dries, a layer of white powder will remain at the bottom of the pot.

During the whole process, Li Wan guarded Li Han, this woman had a keen feeling, from the beginning Li Han tinkered with strange tools, she felt that what her son had to do was not simple, so she drove the old Li couple to sleep, she personally helped her son to light the fire, at this moment, looking at the things at the bottom of the pot, she tasted it tentatively, and immediately cried.

The first time Li Han did this kind of thing, he was nervous, and as soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, he saw Li Wan burst into tears, and he was startled and asked, "Mother, why are you crying?" Does it taste bitter? Did it fail? ”

Li Wan suddenly grabbed Li Han's arm, her eyes were full of gains and losses, and she lowered her voice and asked nervously: "Child, tell me, are you a little fairy who fell from the sky?" Did God take pity on me and send you to save me? ”

Li Han sighed and said: "Alas, mother, I know that you have been worried that I will leave, in fact, there is no need at all, you only have a son like me, I only have a mother like you, whether I am rich in the future, whether I am a king or a marquis, our mother-son relationship will never change." ”

Li Wan suddenly hugged Li Han into her arms and cried excitedly.

Li Han was very unaccustomed to being held in the chest by this young lady who was not talkative, so he wriggled and broke free and said: "Mother, you go and rest, you don't have to do this kind of thing yourself in the future, just let Lao Li and Mother Li help me." ”

Who knew that Li Wan said nervously: "Han'er, your methods are not what mortals should have at all, and you must not easily leak them." Although Mama Li and his wife are loyal, after all, they are subordinates, and this kind of thing can only be known to our mother and son. ”

Li Han was speechless, isn't it just a distillation and purification, as for being so mysterious? Next, he has a number of new plans to make a fortune, and strive to live a prosperous life as soon as possible, won't it make his mother even more fuss when the time comes?
