Liu Shi thought about what suddenly came to mind, and said, "This business has to be packed with things, right?" I thought about packing it in oiled paper, and I had to pay money to buy it, and I wondered if we could pack it in the leaves of a big tree. This thing doesn't cost a lot of effort to pick it up and dry it, and it dries out after a day, and it's just right to wrap things. ”

Yuan Man was also interested when he heard this, and replied: "If it is really feasible, it can save a lot of money!" ”

Liu hurriedly got up and said, "I'll go and show it to you!" I've tried packing stuff and it's fine! ”

These days, the second room is busy, and she will ponder these things herself, but she doesn't want to really find a big tree leaf that can replace oiled paper, and it doesn't smell after drying.

Wen nodded and told her to get it.

Liu Shi thought about it and said with a smile: "I'll watch the fire, you can get it, and I'll put it in the basket behind the door of my east wing." ”

Seeing this, Yuan Man got up and walked to the east wing opposite, and soon found the basket, which was indeed as Liu said, containing a basket of large leaves.

Because of the loss of moisture due to sun drying, it becomes gray but very tough and not brittle.

And it's been cut into a big square, and it's used to pack it.

Yuan Man took one and walked back, and then showed it to Wen, and Liu asked with a sense of accomplishment: "Second brother and sister, do you think it's okay to be a girl?" ”

Wen washed his hands full of multigrain powder, then took it and looked at it, then smiled: "Cheng! I think it's good! Sister-in-law really has you, you can blame you for pondering! ”

Yuan Man also smiled: "I can also think it's okay, but I don't know if anyone will pay attention to it and think it's not good, try to see it first, if no one dislikes it, they will always use this, if someone dislikes it, then change the oil paper bag!" ”

Liu also smiled when he heard this, and nodded again and again: "Eh, it's okay to try!" If you can save something, you can save it! ”

Wen also smiled: "Not really! If you can really save it, it's a lot of money for a long time! ”

Liu Shi was even happier when she heard this, and she said excitedly: "That become... Since there is no shortage of things, let's try it early tomorrow morning! ”

Of course, the Wen family gave the Liu family encouragement, and Yuan Man had no opinion on this, anyway, they still need to make their own decisions about the affairs of the big house, so the Liu family can do whatever they say.

*

The next morning.

The Yuan family got up early again.

After breakfast as usual, they went their separate ways.

Dafang Yuan Dashi took Jinbao and Yinbao to do farm work, and Yuan Xiaohua went out to hunt pigweed.

Erfang Yuan Dashuo took Zhongfeng Qiao Mu and the brothers surnamed Hu to the field to open up wasteland.

Today, the old master came to prepare the house and finally determine how the drawings would begin.

Yuan Wu, Yuan Xiu, and Yuan Cheng have also become shorter recently.

After all, it's a school day, and most of the day is in the school.

Eliminate the daily homework.

Yuan Xiu likes embroidery and has to take the time to practice his hands, and Yuan Wu also took Yuan Cheng to practice martial arts.

After learning that Zhongfeng Qiaomu would be martial, the two brothers ran to the new yard when they were free, they were busy, and the two children practiced there early, and then went to school after practicing.

In short, everyone has their own things, and every day is more sufficient.

Qiao Yu's illness is also good, but considering his young age, he will be allowed to rest for two more days, and Ximei is contracted to do chores at home, such as getting up early to boil water and sweep the yard, and washing everyone's clothes.

The matter of cooking at home still falls on the Yuan family's concubines, and the Wen family is also used to it, and the food they make is also a little more relieved to eat.

When breakfast was over, everyone went out.

Liu also bought fifteen catties of pork belly and fifteen catties of pork ribs from outside.

Since I didn't go to town, I bought some brown sugar at the small grocery store in the village.

The spices of the star anise were borrowed from the second room.

Wen still had to weave cloth and not mix it, so only Yuan Man followed the whole process.

Inside the kitchenette.

Liu is in charge of the cooking, removing the hair, changing the knife, and cutting the pork belly!

Yuan Man helped light the fire and served as an overseer and said: "Uncle, the outside is not as good as what we eat, the size of the piece is better cut evenly, don't be too bad, it looks better!" ”

Liu Shi felt that it made sense one day, and hurriedly agreed: "Eh, success!" If you have any advice, just say it, the eldest aunt is old and stupid, and she can't compare to your cleverness! ”

She smiled as she spoke, but she was clearly more focused when cutting the meat, and the cut was more even.

Yuan Man saw that she accepted it humbly, so he also felt comfortable, so he said cheerfully: "Okay! ”

I have to say that Liu's personality today is much more comfortable to get along with than before.

Liu is also serious, and his diligent practice these days has not been in vain.

Yuan Man felt that her cooking movements were quite smooth, and she was not in a hurry.

After blanching the pork belly, it is scooped up and filtered, and then fried with sugar.

There is no rock sugar here, but fortunately, brown sugar can also be replaced, so you need to pay attention to the amount.

Obviously, Wen has a good grasp of these, and Liu has also learned carefully.

With the sound of heat in the pot, the white pork belly is coated with bright sugar.

Seeing this, Liu smiled and said, "You two are really amazing, how could you think of using sugar to cook?" I know this, just to see that the colors look good, right? ”

Yuan Man only replied with a smile: "That's right." ”

Liu didn't care, Xiaoxiao did the next steps well, and then added water and covered the pot.

After the heat boils, turn to a small pot and simmer over low heat, then clean the large pot and continue to make sweet and sour pork ribs.

Blanch the pork ribs in the pot as usual to remove the blood, then scoop up the extra water in the cauldron, clean and burn the cauldron, add wide oil to the pot, and then use some egg white flour to make some batter, wrap the ribs in batter and fry them in the pan until golden brown.

This step needs to be repeated twice to achieve a crispier and tasty result.

After removing from the pan, scoop up some of the remaining oil and save it for the next time to continue frying.

The rest is used to boil sweet and sour, and when the sweet and sour are boiled, add the fried pork ribs and stir-fry.

Liu smelled the fragrance and felt that this business was destined to be successful, looking at the little girl who was burning the fire opposite, she knew in her heart that this was a small cash cow, so she took a bowl from the side and added a small bowl of sweet and sour pork ribs to Yuan Man to eat.

She also smiled politely: "Full girl, try it quickly!" You're welcome to eat more! ”

Yuan Man burned the fire and sweated profusely, so he took it happily, but he just tasted a piece and didn't eat much, the sweet and sour taste in his mouth was moderate, and it was also the amount of her mother's tune, and the entrance was just right, and it was also very appetizing to eat some of this sweet and sour food if she had no appetite in summer, so she smiled and nodded and praised: "Uncle Niang's craftsmanship can be compared with my mother, and it is getting better and better!" ”

Although Liu's flesh hurt, he was still overjoyed when he heard this, and he couldn't stop laughing.

Yuan Man put the remaining small half bowl of sweet and sour pork ribs on the stove and said: "Let's eat these at noon when we eat, just eat this, it's too tired, but the eldest aunt will not stick to the ribs in the future, and the cheapest lean meat can also do this!" ”
