Chapter 63: Jerky

Right now, Yan Ruyu doesn't care so much, and asks a few girls to help deal with the meat she bought.

Yan Ruyu bought a lot of pork, a full three hundred catties, and these three hundred catties are all fine meat, the price is not low, although it is not summer now, but after all, it is meat, and it needs to be processed as soon as possible to avoid spoilage.

Speaking of this pork matter, Yan Ruyu was a little unhappy.

The village is so big that there is not even a pig, and such a common thing has to go down the mountain every month to buy it.

There are now 400 people in the village, meat must not be less, the amount of meat consumed every day is about 50 catties, this number seems to be a lot, but in fact, about a dozen people add up to eat only one catty of meat.

Every time Lao Zhou went down the mountain, he came back with a large cart of goods, and after he came back, all the meat was salted and dried for easy storage, but the taste was not very good.

Fortunately, the Enma Village is in a mountain col, surrounded by deep mountains and old forests, and it is quite easy to hunt for meat, otherwise this alone will be enough to be busy with Lao Zhou.

But it's about to be winter, the animals in the mountains can hide deeper than people, and it's not so easy to hunt, and if you want to eat meat, you still have to go down the mountain to buy it, but if it is snowy, the mountain road is not easy to walk, then it will be troublesome.

Of course, Yan Ruyu has now restored the use in the village, so the consumption will be so much, and ordinary people under the mountain may not eat meat once a month, so this treatment is definitely good.

……

These girls with good cooking skills, all of them are smart, Yan Ruyu specially let them take a bath and clean their hands before coming, so it is even more fresh and pleasant, among them, the most talented in addition to Yu Ying, who makes pastries, there is also a girl named Liu Guo, these two people with a few other girls, quietly waiting for Yan Ruyu's orders.

She is a big boss, and she can command as soon as she speaks, and she doesn't need to use her hands herself.

Especially for a small thing like washing meat, which everyone can do, there is no need for her to be involved.

Yan Ruyu asked these girls to clean up the meat, first took out twenty catties, and let them chop it into meat puree, although it was not a difficult job, but seeing that the girl named Liu Guo fell decisively and neatly, Yan Ruyu felt that it was a pity that she didn't cut people with this knife worker.

Yan Ruyu asked them to make something that was not rare, it was just dried meat.

There are also dried meat sellers in Thornyang City, but most of them are prepared for those merchants who are out all the year round, and the air-dried meat can be used as a hammer to wave and beat people, at most, a layer of salt is brushed outside, and the taste is dry, which is definitely not delicious.

Yan Ruyu asked them to do something different, the meat puree was mixed with various edible spices to stir evenly into the flavor, a layer of oil paper was spread on top and then rolled into a thin layer, and finally put it in the oven to dry and roast, and it didn't take long for the fragrant pork jerky to come out of the oven.

The pork jerky seasoning she made was researched in her previous life for the sake of appetite, even in that era, the taste was definitely extraordinary, and now this ancient natural food spices are actually richer, and there are actually many types of sauces, some of the materials she used to only see in miscellaneous books, but now they can be searched in the mountains, and some silver has been saved.

At this moment, Yan Ruyu mainly made two flavors of pork jerky, one is the original flavor of pork, and the other is the honey flavor of brushed honey, as for honey, it is easier to find, there are many in the mountains, but Wan Tieyong took people to risk their lives to get it back.
