After the noon feast, the Zhu family left with the meat that Wen Xian had divided.

In addition, Wen Xian also packed them with some crispy meat and fried dried fish for them to take home to eat.

Of course, she didn't forget to pack one for Zhu Li.

Crispy pork can be used to cook soup, and when cooking soup, it is best to put a handful of pea tips.

If you can't, you can put a handful of cabbage and greens.

Wen Xian wanted to eat pea tips, but unfortunately, she only brought back the pea seeds when she returned. If you want to eat pea tips, you have to wait a while.

When Xue Xiaohua helped pack up her things and went back, Wen Xian also packed some crispy meat and other vegetables for her, and forced her to take them back.

Xue Xiaohua eats here from time to time, and it is pitiful for Carpenter Xue to be at home alone.

In addition, on Qin Niangzi's side, Wen Xian also packed a copy, but Qin Niangzi didn't want to kill her.

They said that they had to come every day, and they could eat every day, and they couldn't take more.

Seeing this, Wen Xian didn't force her again.

After everyone left, Wen Xian took Fang Jiaren and began to process the remaining pork.

There is a bit of pork leftover, and it is not easy to preserve bacon in summer.

She kept some for jerky, and prepared to make jerky and pork jerky.

As for the rest, it will be cut into large and small lumps and prepared to be made into boiled pot meat.

The boiled meat is preserved for a long time, and it is best to make it now.

First put half a pot of oil into the pot, then put all the meat lumps into the pot and boil them with oil.

After boiling, put the oil and meat into a large vat and seal it for preservation.

In this way, the pork can be preserved for a long time. Every time you want to eat, just take a lump out of the jar.

"It turns out that you can still preserve meat like this." Fang Jiaren was surprised, "I thought it could only be made into bacon, or put it in the ice cellar to freeze." ”

In the past, there was an ice cellar to use in the palace or at home, and she had never bothered about such a thing.

Now that I have nothing, I found that everything from life events, food, clothing, housing and transportation, to firewood, rice, oil and salt, all have to be accumulated little by little by myself.

It's hard to live, but it's fulfilling.

"There's more you can't think of." Wen Xian raised her eyebrows and said, "Next, we have to boil some salt first, our family has no salt." ”

Boiling this pot meat has already used up almost all the salt, and if they don't boil some salt out, it will be difficult for them to eat.

"And boil salt?" Zheng Rou was puzzled, "Madame didn't buy salt from the island?" ”

She thought that she had more than a thousand taels of silver, and she would buy some daily necessities and come back anyway, and she didn't have to do everything by herself.

However, Wen Xian shook her head and said, "I didn't buy it, the salt sold outside is basically coarse salt." Even if there is fine salt, it is very expensive. Moreover, we haven't done it ourselves. ”

She had also planned to buy some salt back, after all, salt must be very cheap in coastal areas.

But I never expected that the salt sold outside was expensive, not to mention that the color was still yellow, like an inferior product that had not been purified.

Zheng Rou was surprised: "Isn't all salt white?" ”

How can there be yellow, the salt they make themselves is pure white, not to mention those professional salt farms.

In her understanding, what they used to do was just a small fight.

As if to confirm this fact, she shifted her gaze to Xia Zhi. The eyes asked her if the salt outside was really yellow.

Xia Zhi looked at him, nodded solemnly, and said, "It's yellow." ”

It was precisely because of this that she knew how powerful Wen Xian was doing with them.

The salt that Wen Xian casually took them to make was even better than what the salt merchants sold.

When I think about it now, what a shocking thing that was.

Wen Xian said angrily: "Where is it so mysterious, it's just that we make it very carefully, and we feel more at ease when we eat." ”

If you eat too much of the yellowed salt, you will probably get sick. She still prefers to be a little more troublesome and boil her own salt.

Fang Jiaren took over: "I am in favor of us cooking it ourselves, even the salt I use at home is not as good as the one we make ourselves." ”

No wonder she always thinks that cooking with her own salt is more delicious, it turns out that it is not her problem, but that the salt they cook themselves is better.

After confirming that they were going to boil their own salt, everyone began to move again, carrying buckets to fetch seawater.

This time, you don't need to filter fresh water, just pour seawater into the pot and steam it.

The dock was a little far from home, so Wen Xian tied a rope to a bucket and went out through the back door to fetch water on the nearest wild beach.

Wild beaches are fast-flowing and usually no one visits.

As a result, the sea is very clear in those places, although it is dangerous.

Wen Xian carried the wooden barrel with the rope tied to it along the reef into the sea, filled it with water, and then lifted it up and carried it home.

When Qin Niangzi came back from a nap, she saw Wen Xian and the others carrying water, and hurriedly ran over to help.

After filling the two large tanks of water in the yard, they have to start boiling the seawater, and they have to go up the mountain to chop some firewood.

Qin Niangzi didn't know what they were going to do, but she didn't ask, and she didn't stay in the stove room.

Instead, he went to the backyard and began to dig the ground and weed, preparing to sow the seeds that Wen Xian had brought back.

After a week of busy work, I finally boiled more than ten catties of salt.

When the salt was being packed, I happened to meet Zhu Qing coming over to say goodbye.

Zhu Qing opened his mouth when he saw the snow-white fine salt, and he was embarrassed to ask.

Wen Xian said bluntly: "What Qing Gongzi wants to say, just say it directly." ”

She didn't think that Zhu Qing wanted to do a salt sales business and sell illegal salt without permission, which was a capital crime.

Zhu Qing said dumbly: "I'm just surprised that the salt in Dr. Wen's house is very white." ”

He will still not touch the capital crime of selling illicit salt.

Unless, these people in front of him are back in a high position and authorized to him. Otherwise, if you do it, these things will only be a lever in the future.

"Qing Gongzi bring a can back to eat." Wen Xian decisively sent a pound of salt to Zhu Qing, and asked by the way, "Young Master Qing went out this time, when will he return?" ”

Last night, Jiang Lingling and Wu Junlan told her that they wanted to go out of the island with Zhu Qing.

She agreed, and there was no position not to agree. People have their own things to do, and she can't tie them here.

"It won't be back until about a month." Zhu Qing took the salt and thanked him, and continued, "If the two Wen girls want to go out, you might as well go with my boat." When I get to town, I can find someone to send them wherever I want to go. ”

It's just late July, and the next festival is at the end of August, which is more than a month away.

Although next month's festival will still be small, he will still be back.

Towards others, Zhu Qing was a little more polite and detached. What he values more is Wen Xian and Wen Xian's own ability.

As for how much power other people might have, Zhu Qing didn't really care, just be polite and thoughtful.
