Xu Dong made persistent efforts and said: "Anyway, the truck has a freezing function, and the meat doesn't have to be afraid of spoiling, just make it slowly." ”

Mother Xu's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she seemed to have made up her mind.

"There's too much pork, it's too troublesome to make air-dried meat, let's make it into salted meat, it's easier to make salted meat."

Xu Dong immediately nodded and agreed: "Mom, you can do what you say." ”

Marinating salted meat requires a large clay pot, Xu Dong was afraid that his mother would regret it, so he didn't care about eating lunch, and went out with one foot on the accelerator.

Finally, after many inquiries, I bought ten large water tanks in the flower, bird, fish and insect market, and spent a lot of freight and several trips back and forth, so that all the water tanks were moved into the courtyard.

The large water tank was in place, and the whole family began to make the bacon meat.

The ingredients for making salted meat are very simple, only salt and pepper are needed, Xu Dong went to the farmers' market and directly packed all the sea salt and peppercorns from the merchants.

Then it was time to divide the meat, Xu Dong still overestimated himself, cutting frozen meat with a chainsaw is not only dangerous, but also not easy to operate.

In the end, he had no choice but to drive to a small meat workshop, and spent 5,000 yuan to break down all the pork into the meat strips he needed.

When I returned home, Xu's mother was a few times again, this is buying a water tank again, and spending money to hire someone to cut meat, plus the fuel money for driving, all of which are like this, and make a dime!

Anger is angry, salted meat still has to be made, otherwise you will lose more.

To make salted meat, Xu's mother is a veteran, and her family has to make it every year.

The method is really simple, first fry the sea salt and peppercorns to make a marinade;

Then put the strips of meat into the marinade and rub the marinade on the surface of the meat with your hands.

Then put the meat strips into a large water tank, stack them neatly, cover them with plastic wrap, and marinate them for a week;

Finally, take out the strips of meat, hang them in a ventilated place, and wait for them to dry slowly.

By the time a cart of meat is processed, it will be the third day of the Lunar New Year.

To be honest, Xu Dong regretted a little, for these meats, the whole family did not have a good year, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner only made a few home-cooked dishes, and there was no taste of the New Year at all.

In fact, there is no shortage of meat in the warehouse in the basement, and those sealed bacon, jerky and ham are enough for the whole family to eat until they expire.

Xu Dong himself has purely developed a collecting habit, he wants to move everything good to his home, coupled with his fear and anxiety about the future, so he is so tormented.

Fortunately, he also carried out self-reflection in time and readjusted his mentality, and in this regard, at least it was not useless.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, in order to ease the family atmosphere and the last trip before the catastrophe, Xu Dong drove the whole family to travel everywhere and almost visited Yanjing City.

The New Year's atmosphere in the big capital is much better than that of Luyang, with large and small temple fairs emerging in endlessly, as well as a variety of special snacks, which are also full of mouths.

The last stop.

The family came to Shijinglong Ski Resort, and now it has only been three days since the opening of the Winter Olympics, and the enthusiasm of the whole people for skiing is the highest time.

Xu Dong struggled to get three tickets, and the father and daughter had a good time.

Most likely, this will probably be the last time the three of them will play in the snow in their lives.

As for Xu's mother, Xu's father and Yang Lina, because they had to take care of the triplets, and they were not interested in skiing, they simply stayed in the hotel to rest.

After skiing, it was not safe to drive at night, and everyone stayed in a hotel for one night.

Early the next morning, Xu Dong drove home.

It's not that I don't want to play for a few more days, but my sister called last night to inform me that she would arrive in Yanjing at noon.

……

As soon as the camera turned, on the high-speed train from Luyang to Yanjing, Xu Ting was chatting with her husband, and a pair of children and Xu Jingyi were sitting next to her.

The Winter Olympics are being held in Yanjing, and the whole family can just take advantage of the excitement to travel.

"I said Lao Ma, do you say that my parents are used to living in Yanjing?"

Xu Ting's husband's surname is Ma, his name is Ma Jie, and his children are named Ma Xu and Ma Lingling respectively.

Ma Jie secretly complained: "Where there is money, it is heaven, and if there is no money, it is hell everywhere." ”

But you can't say this, otherwise with Xu Ting's bullish temper, she won't be able to go to bed for a month.

"I should be used to living, I heard that the courtyard is down-to-earth and good for the elderly." Ma Jie replied decently.

Xu Ting thought about it and sighed: "It's still too cold in the north in winter, and I don't know what Dongzi is thinking, Shanghai-Beijing is no worse than Yanjing, it's closer to home." ”

"Maybe it's a job need!"

"But according to my father, Xu Dong doesn't have a job at all now, and he wanders around all day long, and he doesn't go home all day." Xu Ting shook her head and said, a little worried that her brother would study badly if he was rich.

"Didn't you say that you opened a convenience store, and I heard that dozens of more will be opened this year?"

Xu Ting rolled her eyes and sneered:

"Don't listen to my mother's bragging, there are dozens of them, and now this one has finally made some money. According to my dad, if you want to open a chain convenience store, you might as well wash and sleep, you can have everything in your dreams. ”

Ma Lingling couldn't help but laugh, and Xu Jingyi also covered her mouth and smiled: "Grandpa is quite trendy, and he even knows Internet buzzwords." ”

"The convenience store is very idle, and the old man watches short videos all day long, so it's strange if I don't know. Didn't I shoot a short video for the convenience store before, and called me to like and share. ”

Xu Jingyi smiled even more happily, "Haha, I also liked that short video, I thought it was taken by my uncle, what 'local chicken and duck, fragrant food', I just laughed to death." ”

All of a sudden, everyone seemed to be poked at the point of laughter, and they couldn't stop laughing one by one.

After laughing enough, Xu Ting rubbed her sour cheeks and continued to "reveal the secret":

"Seriously, the old man's convenience store can't make a lot of money at all, and now it's your grandma who makes the most money in the family."

"Isn't grandma going to help take care of the children, how can she still have time to work?" Xu Jingyi said curiously.

"It's not a formal job, it's selling air-dried chicken and air-dried duck, and I can earn more than 10,000 yuan a month, which is higher than your uncle's salary!"

"Just say it, why do you still take me!" After all, in front of the children, Ma Jie's face was a little unbearable.

"Humph......"

Xu Ting didn't say anything more, and quickly changed the topic: "I don't know if Dabao and the three of them have learned to walk?" ”

"Ahem...... I'm almost 16 months old and should be able to walk. ”

Xu Ting shook her head, "Not necessarily, triplets are weaker than normal babies, Dabao and they were born less than three catties, and their development must be later." ”

"Now that technology is so advanced, there shouldn't be any big problem."

"That's good."

Chatting and chatting, Yanjing soon arrived.

When the five of them walked out of the exit of the station, Xu Dong had been waiting for a while.

"Ma Lingling, Ma Xu, brother-in-law is here."

After receiving five people, Xu Dong suggested going to the nearby restaurant to have a meal before going back, but Xu Ting insisted on going back to eat.

According to the old lady, when she came out to bring snacks, everyone was not very hungry.
