064 Smooth pork skin jelly
Song Haonian and a group of brothers beat Xiao Xiucai, and they did it seamlessly, even Lily didn't know that he really did it to Xiao Xiucai, how Liu Sheng could still testify to him that he was working at that time. Let's say that Xiao Xiucai made trouble three times and twice, and each time it was related to the reputation of the woman, Master Liu was also a little disappointed, and said to the housekeeper Liu Sheng: "I see him as a good person in Su Ri, he has aura, and he can't expect to take off in the future." Why is it long and crooked, and the Chengri family is the same as this and that
of entanglement. ”
"That is, he was wronged, he is a man who wants to gain fame, who in this town does not respect him, if he does his duty, who dares to provoke him with more trouble? ”
Saying that Master Liu was also a little discouraged, he himself was a good man, so he boasted of his own seeds, paid special attention to the education of future generations, and vowed to teach a good seedling to come out of the Toad Palace to win the laurels, and be on the list of scholars, only to show that his literary style in Qingliu Town, Taiping County was prosperous.
It's a pity that Master Liu's own children are not seeds, he has been reading books for a few years, and he barely took the exam as a child, seeing that there is no hope for Xiucai, Master Liu also extinguished Xunzi's thoughts, and only asked his son to take care of the fields at home, and it is also the reputation of cultivating and reading heirlooms.
He put his hope on the children of the side branches of the clan, and the private school originally only accepted the children of the main branch, but later he gave money and food to expand it, invited famous gentlemen, and accepted many elementary school students.
Liu Rulong is very smart, and as soon as he entered school, he asked Mr. to praise him a lot, and he talked too much, and Master Liu also had great hopes for him.
It's just that now this embarrassing thing has come out one after another, and Master Liu's heart has faded, Liu Rulong is just a child of the side branch in the end, and his heart is not good, even if he is an official, it is difficult to bring his family, he just looks at the children of the next generation.
Lily had already made a little effort here with Liu Zhong through the relationship of the eldest mother, and at this time, Liu Zhong bent down slightly, and said with a smile: "In the end, it is just a distant side branch, and it is difficult to say what the future will be." In my opinion, our little master is the real seed!"
Master Liu laughed and scolded: "How can you boast like this? ”
Liu Zhong said: "The little one is telling the truth, which one laughs at me, I still have to laugh at his blindness!"
The little master of the Liu family is still a milk doll now, although the old man Liu loves it like a treasure and often teases his grandson, but he still can't see the future of being virtuous and foolish.
Steward Liu's words gave Master Liu a wake-up call, and after a few days, he took his grandson to his side and raised him personally. The qualifications of his children will not be bad, if they are well educated since childhood, the future is promising, it is better than teaching the white-eyed wolf outside.
But there is a troublesome matter, the Lily people are in good spirits on happy occasions, and Song Haonian has newly married Song Dagui as his brother, and several brothers have said that she is busy with favors, and she is very happy every day.
Song Dagui actually had a close relationship with Liu Yi's gang, but he was a butcher who opened a butcher's shop, and Liu Yi and the others were businessmen running around outside, so they never went together.
Now that he has worshiped his brother, he said to Liu Yi that the next time he goes into business, he will also invest some capital in it, sell some rare things back, and give his wife and children a little sweetness.
When his brother and daughter-in-law went to him to buy meat, Song Dagui naturally had to add more to his head. Lily also said: "Love is love, business is business, you rely on this to make a living, how can you spare me so many things?"
Song Dagui's family has raised this butcher shop to be chubby, if it weren't for the fact that the skin is too dark, it looks like a big family is pampered.
His daughter-in-law was more enthusiastic than him, stuffed Lily with a lot of pieces of meat, and kept saying: "Don't be polite, sister, I'll talk to my sister when I go back." ”
Because of the previous rumors, as long as Song Dagui's family didn't trouble her, Lily would be thankful, and she didn't expect this sister-in-law to be so enthusiastic, so she had to accept it.
The nobles stuffed a large piece of pork with skin into the basket for her, and Lily thought that unless it rained these days, it was really not suitable to eat meat when the sun was big, so she had to make some tricks on this piece of meat.
At this time, most of the pigs raised were black pigs, with fat heads and big ears, and good meat quality, which was better than the white pork she was used to eating in her previous life.
It is difficult for the butcher to pluck the pig and pluck the feathers, and the meat bought must be cleaned up by himself. Lily first plucked the hair that could be plucked, and then put the whole piece of meat on the fire to burn it, and when the hair roots were removed, there was a burnt smell of the flesh skin to the nose.
Pour some ash water into the basin, soak the boiled meat in it, take the old loofah and brush it over and over again, until it is clean, and you can no longer see a little pig hair and dirt, so you can wash it with water.
Then cut the whole piece of meat into finger-wide slices, each slice is connected to the skin, and the skin is also rich in gelatin and bright red muscles, which is tender at a glance. Bring the water to a boil in a pot, add the ginger slices, peppercorns and green onion knots. Sichuan pepper this flavor seasoning is only produced in Shudi, it is expensive to transport to Nanzhili, and ordinary people do not like to eat, lily is used to eating in the last life, save money to buy some, Song Haonian followed her to eat it is also used to it, and told her not to save
Money, if you want to eat, buy more.
Then put the sliced meat in it, boil it over high heat first, skim off the foam, cover the pot, remove the two pieces of firewood, and keep it on medium heat to simmer slowly.
The meat should be stewed for at least half a day, and the lily would go to do something else, and then come back to see the fire and add some firewood, and tell it to keep burning, and the water in the pot should be boiled.
The pork skin was slowly simmered, and the gelatinous skin came out, making the soup thick and sticky, and Lily estimated that it was almost the same, so she poured all the soup into a wooden basin, covered it with gauze, and put a large wooden basin full of well water outside to cool down.
As the temperature drops, the soup in the basin gradually condenses into a transparent solid, and through the shiny surface, you can easily see that it is mixed with uncooked pork skin and meat pieces, which is very attractive.
A whole pot of frozen meat couldn't be left for too long, so Lily took a bamboo knife and divided it into several portions and sent it to those close to him.
When Song Haonian came home, she had already made sour rice, adjusted the skin jelly, and was ready to eat. Sour rice is small rice with syrup, and after the rice is ready, put it into the fried syrup soup and cook it slightly, which is sour and appetizing.
Cut the skin jelly into uniform small slices, and pour a seasoning sauce with autumn oil, vinegar, garlic, ginger, and Sichuan pepper powder on it, which is sour and cool. The jelly itself only has a meaty flavor, and when the sauce is well done, it looks particularly delicious.
Song Haonian said while eating: "Daughter-in-law, why do you have so many tricks." "His mother can only cook a few dishes, and she can't come up with so many tricks.
Lily just laughed, not telling him that most of his tricks were learned from various recipes when he was in school.
These days, there is one more small jar that Lily uses to save money, and there are several jars buried in the house, she really feels unsafe, so she asks Song Haonian to get up quietly, and the two of them take advantage of the fact that it is not yet dark, and count the money while sitting at the table. At first, they rented ten acres of land to Master Liu at the price of two yuan, and they did not touch any of them. Later, Lily made a lot of money one after another, and after removing the family's odd and miscellaneous daily expenses, there were more than two times. Song Haonian also made some money when he went out, except for buying things and coming back, he had more than 800 yuan left
。
Adding up to a few things, the young couple has a family background of five yuan, which is very passable.
Lily counted out five hundred coins to store in the jar for daily use, and said to Song Haonian: "Too many copper coins are inconvenient, you should exchange them for silver." ”
In today's peaceful years, one tael of silver is fixed for consistent money, and if it is not peaceful, one or two silver for eight hundred coins have been exchanged.
This Apocalypse Tongbao is in good condition, and the words on it are also beautifully written, if it is not for the trouble to use more copper coins, Lily is willing to use copper coins to be safer, not afraid of the depreciation of silver.
Song Haonian said: "It's not difficult, Xiaofu will go to the county in two days and ask him to find Daming Qianzhuang to exchange it for silver." ”
"Daming Qianzhuang?"
"It's the money village opened by the government, and it's the most trustworthy. Song Haonian said that he thought that his daughter-in-law was smart, but she had never seen the world, and she didn't even know about Daming Qianzhuang.
Lily's small mouth opened slightly, and it took a long time to react. She didn't know what time she had traveled to, so she vaguely called it ancient, and it wasn't until this time that she realized that she had traveled to the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty was turbulent and talented, and it was a very magical dynasty. But these things have nothing to do with ordinary people, and the most important thing for Lily is to live her little life.
"Da Nian, have you ever heard of the Liaodong Tartars?" Lily asked uneasily, in case the Liaodong Manchus have become powerful, and it will not be long before they will enter the customs and massacre and destroy, then she might as well die early.
Song Haonian smiled, and his face showed a look of yearning: "Twenty years ago, our emperor subdued all the Liaodong Tartars! ”
As men, they all have a dream of going into battle to kill the enemy and make meritorious achievements, and they get excited when they talk about it, and they have to learn to sing two sentences.
At the Jade Emperor Temple Fair this year, Lily was busy doing business, and people from all over the country came to listen to the play, crowded one by one, she earned more than 200 dollars that day alone, where can she care about what she sings on the stage?
Anyway, the Manchurians won't call, and the emperor sounds very sage, her peaceful days will be long, she laughed at Song Haonian: "Look at you, you still look like a child!"
Song Haonian's face was slightly red, scratching his head and said: "I loved this play the most when I was a child, and I also wanted to be a guard for the emperor, and follow his old man before and after the saddle." I don't want to have much success in the future, let alone the emperor, it's the county magistrate, and he doesn't look down on me. ”
Lily smirked, feeling that his dream was so innocent and simple, and so simple that it was exciting. "Now it seems that you can't succeed, but your son, teach it well, I'm afraid that you can still catch up with the emperor to lead the horse. ”
"Ah, do you have it?" Song Haonian was shocked.
Lily couldn't help but laugh, "No, I'll just say it casually." The fact that the daughter-in-law didn't have a son in her belly made Song Haonian a little disappointed, but he quickly cheered up, "Let's work hard to have a son!"
