Chapter Seventy-Five: Lack of Salt
Yes, salt is a necessary thing for the survival of the human body, and it is always exchanged for salt by placing things, and it is estimated that it is not enough to marinate bacon in the future, so it seems that we still have to think of a better way.
……
Ye Chuliang and Dongfang Yanhe worked together to finally wash the wild boar, and kept all the useful things, and then threw the useless things into the biogas digester.
Ye Chuliang first cut off the pig's feet, and then handed over other things to Dongfang Yan and shaved and divided.
First, the hair on the pig's feet is shaved clean, and then several knives are made on the pig's feet, and then it is blanched and cooled.
After everything was ready, Ye Chuliang wrapped the seasoning in gauze and boiled a large pot of boiling water, because the knife could not chop the pig's feet, so he could only put the whole pig's feet in, and then put all the ingredients in and burn them together.
Once the heat is boiling, reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer.
At this time, although it was already dark, Ye Chuliang still divided the pork with Dongfang Yanhe, and wiped all the meat shallowly with salt, and then put it on the stone outside the cave to dry, and when the water stains were gone, the meat would not be bad in a short time.
After everything was done, Sikong Yu had already written down the recipe, and everyone sat around the simple stove, waiting for the soup to be cooked, and discussing the salt shaker that was about to reach the bottom.
"Sister Chu Liang, why don't you change it again." Redshoot suggested.
Ye Chuliang pondered for a moment, "Salt is a very important thing, the buying and selling authority is all controlled in the hands of the imperial court, and the more disaster year, the more expensive the price will be, we still have to have a long-term plan, after all, if I teach a lot of food to others, what will we rely on to make money in the future." ”
Hearing this, everyone fell silent......
Although the problem was a little tricky, the lack of aroma of the pork knuckle soup dispelled the irritability in everyone's hearts.
"Sister Chu Liang, it's so fragrant......" Hong Shao excitedly put his nose to the edge of the pot and sniffed deeply.
Ye Chuliang opened the pot, and a fragrance came to his face, and the soup in the pot was thick and white like milk, which made people have a deep appetite at a glance.
The meat on the pig's feet fell off with a gentle poke of chopsticks, which was simply fragrant and soft.
The amount of soup in a pot is very large, and the big guys are satisfied to lean on the chair after eating, although it is the hooves of wild boars, but the taste is much more fragrant than the domestic pig's trotters, and the meat is firm, not at all like the fat and greasy loose of domestic pigs.
"Sister Chu Liang, this soup is really delicious, our previous recipe didn't have any secret recipes for boiling soup, you can boil more in the future, let's help you refer to it......" Sikong Yu said with a smile.
Ye Chuliang's smile was even stronger, she looked at Hongshao, and then at Sikong Yu, "Sikong, when did you become the same as Hongshao, you can still find so many reasons for being greedy!" ”
Sikong Yu's face changed slightly, he looked at Hong Shao a little unnaturally, and then said with a little embarrassment: "Sister Chu Liang, don't you pull me with her......"
"What are you talking about, what's wrong with me, am I ashamed?" Red Tree retorted unhappily.
"You...... You don't look like a ...... It's not like a girl......" Sikong Yu stammered.
Hongshao suddenly got up from the chair, walked quickly to his side, and looked at him proudly, looking like a goddess, "What do you mean by this, what do you mean that I don't look like a girl, why am I not like it, do I not look like it, or don't I look like it?" ”
Sikong Yu said softly while hiding back, "You don't look like ...... now" After speaking, he immediately got up from his chair and ran out.
"You stop for me......" Red Tree chased after him.
The two little babies didn't think it was a big deal, and they also followed. Reading Temple
Dongfang Yanhe seized the opportunity and silently recited a sentence of Fanbang's language in his mouth.
Ye Chuliang was a little confused, she asked suspiciously, "What are you talking about?" Foreign language? ”
Dongfang Yanhe unconsciously replied in Fanbang's language, and Ye Chuliang looked at him even more suspiciously, "I really don't know what you're talking about, I'm going to wash the dishes......"
Ye Chuliang's appearance didn't look like she was pretending, but the strange words she popped out from time to time did not dispel Dongfang Yanhe's suspicions.
……
Sure enough, as Ye Chuliang expected, the price of salt in the city has grown wildly, and I heard that it is because the place where salt is made has also suffered a natural disaster, and this year's salt production has been seriously reduced, and the price has risen.
Without salt, let alone food, I'm afraid I won't even have the strength to go out and work.
Seeing this situation, Ye Chuliang was also very anxious.
On this day, a stranger who had never been seen before came to the house, who was carrying a large carriage and dragged by two strong horses.
After the man handed the contents of his arms to the janitor, the Ma family opened the gate and put the carriage in.
This person was none other than Wu Ming, the envoy of Lord Yin Jiang Langjiang of Chongtian Mansion, and he had come this time with a purpose.
Wu Ming was taken into the study by Ma Zhancai and closed the door tightly.
Ma Zhancai had a flattering expression, nodded and said, "I don't know what Lord Jiang sent Lord Wu to come before?" ”
Wu Ming had a condescending expression on his face, "Master Jiang has some things sent to me to give to Master Ma." ”
"Give it to me?" Ma Zhancai looked surprised.
Wu Ming looked out of the door, but his words were said to Ma Zhancai, "Master Ma, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you miss it, you don't know when you will wait next time." ”
Ma Zhancai asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?" ”
"Do you know what's on the carriage outside?"
Ma Zhancai shook his head slightly.
"What's missing right now?"
Ma Zhancai was stunned for a moment, then opened his mouth wide in fright, and finally confided out a word in an unusually low voice, "Salt ......"
Ma Zhancai's face was already pale, you must know that this salt is forbidden by the imperial court for private trading, how could Jiang Lang send a cart of salt to himself for no reason?
Wu Ming turned around from behind the door and walked into the house, and said as he walked: "Master Ma, this salt is for you, but my lord said that this gift is also conditional." ”
"Lord Wu, the government has not granted our Ma family the permission to sell salt, and it is very dangerous for us to put this thing here." Ma Zhancai said nervously, "If it is found out by the people above, then our Ma family will be finished." ”
"Who do you mean by the people above?" Wu Ming asked with a calm expression.
Ma Zhancai was stunned for a moment, and then as if he understood something, he looked at Wu Ming with unease and asked, "You mean, if something happens, Lord Jiang will help us carry it, right?" ”
