Chapter Thirty-Eight: Do You Make Ham?
The cooks were marinating the meat, and the small intestines were all cleaned, Zhang Chuchu forgot to let them prepare the funnel for the meat in advance, and the group was in a hurry.
"Sister, isn't that it? I saw that you didn't bring it, so I brought it. β
The pumpkin took out half a small gourd containing meat, which was a bit off the table, but very practical. Zhang Chuchu wants to kiss the little face of the pumpkin, this younger brother is well-behaved.
"Ouch, that's it, we have a suitable funnel, just right for each other."
Fangfu makes a lot of bacon, they make less sausages, keep some at home to eat, and most of them are taken out to sell. Zhang Chuchu had a little more inspiration in his brain, and he had the courage to pull Pumpkin and Wang Tingjian to talk to Linglong, the two of them spoke casually, and they would definitely listen.
"What's wrong? Is there something missing? Linglong just came back from showing off, Fang Li told her to take it easy, don't be laughed at by the people.
"Grandma, do you make ham in the house? This can be put for a long time, and the ham that is well done can also be eaten raw, and the taste is particularly good. β
"Ham? I've heard from people outside, but I didn't do it, this thing sells expensive. β
"Yes, but the ham can be stored for a longer time, and it is suitable for expensive aunts and grandfathers~"
Zhang Chuchu was worried that her ugly appearance would frighten people, so she pulled Wang Tingjian and pumpkin to make a faΓ§ade. She also figured it out, ugly is ugly, anyway, she can eat enough to make money, it's a big deal to grow up and apply grease and powder.
"Yes, but I don't know the recipe."
"I have, my aunt and grandmother are so good to us, curing ham is easier than curing bacon."
"Okay, tell me, I'll give them a try."
"It's about the ratio of half a catty of salt for ten catties of meat, coarse salt and fine salt can be used, you need to add some peppercorns after frying, and evenly spread the salt on the pork legs, it is best to wipe it four times. After plastering and neatly placing it in a large container of drainage, plus a large stone to press, it can be hung in a special room for more than half a month after pickling, and it can be eaten in more than a month.
If you want to marinate it deliciously, be sure to sprinkle some water on the ground where the meat is hung to maintain humidity, and when kneading the salt, it should be even, and rub vigorously and repeatedly, so that the ham will be delicious. Ham that has been left for three years can be sliced and eaten raw. β
Zhang Chuchu talked about it roughly, and also told Linglong about the details of attention, she was also a little strange, why did she have so many thoughts in her head.
Linglong didn't want to bend over, worried that the female dolls in the countryside would smell, they had been smoked by them last time, and after taking care of the bathing place, the smell was still left for a day before dissipating. However, Zhang Chuchu has no smell on his body, and the breath exhaled from his mouth is not smoked, and there is a little more rosin, which is probably because there are pine trees burning at home.
"These are very important, aunt and grandmother should remember."
Zhang Chuchu saw that Linglong asked people to write down on paper, and deliberately emphasized that Linglong was not clear about these, and asked the little guy to take it to Master Fang to show them and let them decide.
"Aunt Zhang, your little granddaughter, she has a lot of ideas."
Linglong had a good impression of Zhang Chuchu, and she felt that the little girl had smart eyes and was much easier to get along with than those beautiful female dolls. Yulian told her that a little maid in the Zhou Mansion was self-righteous, and she didn't know how to be diligent after being taught by the grandmothers.
"Mrs. Tofang's blessing can appreciate our family." Wu Qingguo is the best at polite words.
The busy cooks on the side are a little envious, their daughter is also an ugly doll, but she is not as smart as Zhang Chuchu, she is really more popular than others!
Linglong asked them to go to the small room to roast the fire, and asked the maid to bring milk tea and snacks. Yulian was waiting for her to talk in the boudoir, and after today's matter was over, she gave the reward and went to Zhou's mansion to play with Yulian.
"Linglong!" Fang Li waited for Linglong to come over, and if she had a girlfriend, she didn't want to be fair, so the two of them did it.
"Brother Li~ I, I." Linglong wanted to slip away, Yulian had been waiting for her for a while, and she didn't want to be told.
"What are you, I asked you to bring me refreshments just now, as my wife, this is what you should do, and you still let the maid do it for you, do you take me in your eyes!"
"Yes~ Yulian is here, I'll go see her."
"When haven't you seen each other since last time? Brother Zhou and I have become your decorations, and Yinlou will not go with me. β
"I, we haven't seen each other since we got married, and we haven't seen each other for three months~"
"Come with me to the study, it's cold in the winter, I need you to talk to me."
Fang Li pulled Linglong and left, and after only a few steps, Master Fang ran over on crutches, his fat body twisted and walked, Fang Li was really worried that he would fall.
"Daddy~" Fang Li and Linglong shouted together, and Master Fang asked them who wrote this recipe.
"It's a chubby little girl, and my daughter-in-law has arranged for them to stay in a warm room, Daddy, do you want to see her?"
"Yes, this recipe is hard to find, let's ask some places that are prone to problems, and this time the Fang family will be saved."
"Daddy, what's going on in our family?" Fang Li was a little worried, his family had always been generous, so it wouldn't be bankrupt.
"It's the news from Jiangnan, next year's ham is a hot-selling baby pimple, let's hurry up and buy big pig's trotters to make it, wasn't it robbed and sold by the Li family before, and now we want to snatch it back, these are all left by my grandfather, and I can't lose it."
"Xianggong~ You and your father go to see, Yulian is rare to come, I will talk to her for a while, and then send her out."
Linglong found the right time to speak, Fang Li thought about cleaning up later, and went to do things with Master Fang first. When Linglong saw them leaving, she happily went to Yulian to speak. They are a girl's family, and they got married at the age of seventeen or eighteen, where can they be a little daughter-in-law in the house with peace of mind.
Master Fang came in person, Wu Qingguo had heard of his fame when he was in the town, and hurriedly pulled the children up, the pumpkin was still holding a crispy little cake in his hand, and he wanted to eat it so much.
"You're welcome, Aunt Zhang, I just want to know, who gave this recipe?"
After Master Fang sat down, he looked like everyone was very good, but he spoke eagerly, and Zhang Chuchu felt very kind. Alas, rich people are kind when they speak, and it can be seen from Linglong and Yulian that good cultivation is different.
"It's my little granddaughter, Chu Chu, come." Wu Qingguo pulled Zhang Chuchu to stand forward, Zhang Chuchu was very calm now, with a big belly, he had a big belly, and talked to Master Fang with a smile.
Master Fang asked several questions, all of which he would encounter when making ham, and after listening to what Zhang Chuchu said, Master Fang changed some content on the spot, and asked Fang Li to send it to his grandfather as soon as possible, so that they could start doing things.
Fang Li was kicked out of the door before he could figure it out, anyway, Linglong couldn't run away, so let's talk about it when I came back. Master Fang was generous and said to Zhang Chuchu that if you encounter problems when making ham, let her help take a look.
