Chapter 189 (2/2)
Boil a whole piece of beef, remove the blood, put it into the brine pot and simmer slowly.
Most of the beef at this time was produced from old cattle. As the main labor force in the field, the Imperial Court banned the private slaughter of cattle.
Then the economy recovered and the ban was relaxed. If you want to slaughter, you need to report to the local Lizheng to confirm that the cow can only be slaughtered after death or old death, and the money obtained from cutting, slaughtering and selling can not exceed the original value of the cow.
Most of the time, cattle are slaughtered and cooked with their neighbors and neighbors, with little flow into the market.
Therefore, on the one hand, the price of beef is low, which can be compared with the price of pork. On the other hand, beef is a rare meat.
While waiting for the beef, she turned to braised meat.
Pei Shuo and his colleagues also arrived.
The smell of brine slowly floated out of the pot, and the meat flavor was not covered by spices. The gurgling sound comes from boiling brine bubbles, and it is also the sound of children's stomachs.
She prepared the brine at home in advance, saw that it was almost cooked, poked the beef with chopsticks, and quickly cut a piece to taste it.
Yu Guang took aim at the child's sudden swallowing of saliva. She took another piece and gave it to the child: ”try it.”
The child hesitated, looked around and took the meat slice. The texture was clearly visible, about the thickness of 2-3 sheets of paper, vaguely showing light.
”Don't tell anyone.”
”If you don't eat any more, you will be seen. Look, someone is coming.”
A Yao deliberately threatened. The little boy quickly stuffed it into his mouth. His cheeks looked like a grain hamster and puffed out.
The child stared: ”you deceived me!”
It seemed that there was laughter over the stove. Pei Shuo looked over there. A hundred steps away, there was a woman in goose yellow clothes and a dark orange apron. She was very familiar with it.
He took a look and took back his sight in the cry of a dish coming.
Braised meat, sliced chicken, stewed beef, fried yellow croaker, roasted goose with plum, fried venison with scallion, leek, flower shrimp, perilla ribs. The dish is a pot of stewed pickled vegetables.
All the dishes are served at once.
”Congratulations to Pei Shuo on his promotion to the regiment training envoy. You can help our brother in the future.”
”Thank you, brother Li and brother Wang. Your merits are remembered. Promotion is a recent event. It's my turn to congratulate you in a few days.” Pei Shuo raised his glass.
”Cheers!”
”Everyone rises step by step.”
A Yao looked at them from a distance and clenched her hands tightly for fear that something might happen in the middle.
After three rounds of wine, a Yao's tight heart string eased and relaxed.
Did she cross the ridge?
”Miss Jiang Yao, please add wine and food.” The boy lowered his head and carried a basin. ”These are the small fish caught by the river. Please fry it and make it crispy.”
The boy put down the wooden basin and turned away.
A Yao should have been down. She glanced into the wooden basin unintentionally, and her face was frozen: ”wait, you go and call the guests who ordered wine and vegetables.”
”Miss Jiang Yao, just do it. You are invited to cook as much as you are asked. Don't embarrass me as a servant.”
Then he hurried away.
However, a Yao moved faster, picked up the chopping board and threw it, and then threw a sharp knife right in the center of the chopping board.
The boy stopped his steps and didn't dare to move with cold sweat.
”Did I tell you to go?”
