In the old house of the Xiao family, Xiao Jinsu, who has married a wife, has a gloomy face all day long, and his eyes are resentful and cold.

Helian Sheng is absolutely good enough to do things, leaving two people to keep an eye on Xiao Jinsu in the Xiao Mansion, not giving her a chance to return to the capital, but also not snooping on her privacy.

"Miss, there are more than 20,000 taels of silver in the house, and if the jewelry is pawned, there will probably be nearly 100,000 taels of silver." Cui Yu, who almost finished going to the warehouse, came to Xiao Jinsu and replied.

"Leave the aunt's reward, and the rest will be pawned, and you will die!" Xiao Jinsu gritted his teeth.

was forced to marry that day, and Xiao Jinsu was unwilling to marry a subordinate.

But Xiao Jinsu was tied, and her room was lit with incense that aroused lust, and she fought for a day and night with a man she never had to look at with her eyes.

Xiao Jinsu knew that Helian Sheng would not use this method to deal with her, so it could only be done by Helian Sheng's subordinates, and he didn't want her to have another chance to pester Helian Sheng, but in the final analysis, it was because He Liansheng was unwilling to marry her.

"Among the young lady's jewelry, the most valuable is the one rewarded by the concubine, if it is not sold, it can be pawned for 30,000 taels of silver at most." Cui Yu shrunk her neck and said: "Most of Miss's jewelry is in the capital, if the concubine knows that Miss is married, she will definitely send someone to send everything, won't you wait?" ”

"Do you think I can wait?" Xiao Jinsu shot a knife at Cui Yu with an eye, and said viciously: "If it weren't for that Song Yao, my cousin wouldn't have treated me like this, I will never allow her to live one more day, or live under my nose!" ”

"Miss!" Cui Yu knelt down, and persuaded with tears in her eyes: "Miss, let's let go of this thought, if the Ninth Master knew that Miss was going to kill Song Yao, he would definitely not let Miss go." ”

"Don't let me go? Ha ha! Xiao Jinsu sneered, "My life has been ruined, what can my cousin do with me?" Shall I marry someone of lower status? Or sell me to the Green House? As long as my aunt is here, even if my cousin hates and poisons me, he will keep me alive, but he will remember me for the rest of his life, and it is worth it! ”

Seeing that Xiao Jinsu was already a demonic barrier, Cui Yu didn't dare to persuade anymore, so he could only take orders to do things.

Song Yao didn't know that Xiao Jinsu wanted to spend a lot of money to buy her life, and in the past few days, she has received some seafood one after another, and there are several more flavors of shrimp noodles, so she doesn't even have the opportunity to go out.

Compared with the production of shrimp powder, it takes a lot of effort to make shrimp paste, and sometimes due to environmental factors and other factors, the taste of the production is not the same, and it may fail.

Song Yao chose to make grain shrimp paste, which are normal prawns and shrimp skin.

The shrimp paste made with fresh shrimp will naturally taste better, but the cost is too high, and it consumes more energy and time, so Song Yao only plans to use it during the competition and use it at home.

Good shrimp has one more step than shrimp skin, that is, to remove the head, tail and shell, and to remove the shrimp line, and the shrimp skin is to remove impurities.

After that, it is washed and drained. After the shrimp is manually mashed, add salt according to the ratio of 5 to 2, stir evenly and pour it into a clean container, cover it with gauze, and put it in a sunny place to ferment naturally.

In order to ferment evenly, you need to stir once a day with a clean rolling pin, and if it is in the sunny season, it can be eaten in about half a month.

At this time, it is winter, although the climate of Yunzhou City is warmer, but it will have to wait for a month or two to complete, and it will be the second half of the God of Food Competition, but it will come in handy.

However, the preservation of shrimp paste is a little more troublesome, it must be tightly sealed, placed in rain and raw water, stored in a ventilated and cool place, and every time the shrimp paste is opened and taken, it must be covered in time, and the tools must be clean and dry.

If you find that there is a phenomenon of bubbles, add a little liquor in time to seal and preserve, and you can still eat. However, if it is spoiled and smelly, it should be discarded.

Shrimp paste is divided into different varieties such as sand tea sauce, silver shrimp paste, sesame shrimp paste, low-salt and fishless shrimp paste, Taishan shrimp paste, etc., among which sesame shrimp paste is divided into original type, light spicy type, spicy type, salty and spicy type, and the formula can also be adjusted appropriately according to the different tastes of various places.

But Song Yao doesn't want to do so many types at the beginning, what she wants is to be surprising, and then innovate after the market has stabilized for a period of time, so as to ensure that she will not lose customers, and she is not afraid of being stolen by others.

Of course, the method of these shrimp pastes was not developed by Song Yao, but she appeared in this time and space, and was able to borrow the wisdom of her ancestors and occupy a place in this world.

In addition to making this batch of shrimp paste, Song Yao plans to receive the small shrimp later, in addition to making shrimp powder, all of them will be used to make shrimp paste bricks.

The production method of shrimp paste bricks is also more complicated, but the preservation time is long, which is more suitable for this era of underdeveloped transportation, used to currency from north to south, and to ensure that all Song Sister-in-law restaurants can be used.

The method of shrimp paste bricks is to remove the small shrimp and wash them, add one-tenth of the edible salt, salt them for six hours, and press the marinade. After the salted shrimp are crushed, poured into the tank after one to two days in the sun, about 0.2% of the liquor, and 0.5% fennel, Sichuan pepper, cinnamon, licorice and other spices are added, stirred thoroughly, pressed and smoothed the surface, and sprinkled with a layer of wine to promote fermentation.

When the surface gradually forms a layer of a one-centimeter hard film, cover it that night.

After fermentation and maturity, make a small hole in the mouth of the tank, so that the shrimp brine that exudes from fermentation is left in the hole, so as not to seep back into the shrimp paste, and take out the thick shrimp oil finished product, also known as shrimp oil dew, the taste is extremely delicious, the aftertaste is twisted, mainly used for soup dishes to enhance freshness and fragrance, the taste is unique, and the fish oil can be made with small fish and shrimp or crabs and other seafood as sauce or canned scraps, which can be made out of fish oil, collectively known as shrimp oil.

After the ripe shrimp paste, first remove the surface hard film, take out the soft sauce, put it into the wooden mold box, make a rectangular brick shape, remove the bottom of the mold, take out the shrimp paste and air dry for six to twelve hours, and the shrimp paste brick will be successfully made.

has been busy until the end of the year, Song Yao has only a few days to relax, and before the New Year, there will be no more shrimp skin and small fish and shrimp to be sent over.

"Madam, Yun Gongzi ordered someone to send a New Year's gift, and a letter." Red Sleeves took the list and the letter and came to the flower hall to find Song Yao to report.

"Well, you look at the things put together, you don't need to wait here." Song Yao took the list and glanced at it, and before opening the letter, he instructed: "You choose some things suitable for farmers, give them to Haiwazi's family, settle the wages together, and tell them that they don't need to come over during the New Year, and they will report back in the New Year." ”

"Yes." Redsleeves led the order to leave.

Song Yao opened the letter and couldn't help frowning after reading it.

Yun Zhongxiao's letter was nothing more than some congratulatory messages wishing a happy New Year, as well as some words thanking Song Yao for preparing the New Year's gift, but did not say why he was in a hurry to return to the Yun family at this time.

But Song Yao can guess that Yun Zhongxiao's return to Beijing this time must have a lot of open and secret battles, as the young master of a big family, the things he shoulders and bears are not something that Song Yao can imagine.

And what Song Yao is most worried about is that Yun Zhongxiao's cooperation with them will be known by the Yun family, and it will cause a lot of trouble at that time.

"May all be smooth to you." Song Yao put the letter and list in the drawer of Xiaoji, and muttered, "I don't know when Yun Gongzi will return to Beijing, so I shouldn't forget to bring you shrimp paste bricks and shrimp oil." ”

Thinking that Helian Sheng had not written a letter to himself since he returned to Beijing, Song Yao was very uneasy and worried that something would happen to Helian Sheng.
