The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

"When will this be smoked?" Yan Yu asked with a blushing face, looking at the meat hanging from the charcoal stove.

"You have to dry the water and make it into jerky, which can be stored for a long time," Yan Laoer said.

With a flash of inspiration, Yan Yu looked at the cow that had just put her down.

Ask it: "Cow, the forage can be compressed and dried, but can the meat strips be used?"

Yan Laoer and Li Xuemei turned their heads to look at it at the same time.

Niu——Nodding to live up to expectations.

Yan Yu cheered and clapped her hands happily: "Come on, come on, what's the matter? Can you open the stomach? Let's put the meat in?"

The cow came over unhurriedly, shook his head first, and then opened his mouth.

Second Yan: ...

Li Xuemei: ...

Yan Yu: ...

Yan Laoer asked a question that everyone cared about: "If you eat it in your stomach and process it, where does the jerky come from?"

Don't be what they think!

The cow's tail pointed exactly in the direction they expected.

The three of them felt a thunderbolt!

Then the cow's mouth opened and closed.

so far so good.

Instant relief.

It's good to go in and out. In fact, it's nothing to think about, and it's not a real cow. The two mouths at the front and back are needed to restore the real cow.

But I really can't get over the hurdle in my heart, ahem, a little awkward.

Yan Lao Er tentatively put a long piece of meat in, and after a few breaths, the cow spit out a piece of jerky...

"Hahahahahaha..." Yan Yu was about to laugh like crazy.

"Get rich, get rich, we can make money by processing and making jerky for people in the future!

Can I still make five-spice jerky and spicy jerky... By the way, don’t spit it out, just keep it in the stomach, right? "

She looked at the cow, who nodded.

Yan Yu laughed again like a convulsion, and continued to ask the cow: "Meat can be used as jerky, vegetables and fruits?" She trotted around the cow and continued to ask: "You have a lot of space in your stomach. Can I put something else? Can it be stored in different categories?"

The cow nodded vigorously.

Li Xuemei: "Then what if it eats grass? It can't stop eating or drinking, or people will find out."

"Since it can be stored in different categories, eating and drinking shouldn't affect it, right, cow?"

The cow's tail was pointing back to the exit again.

Yan Yu understood, "What you mean is that eating and drinking will not affect the contents of your stomach if you pass normally, but if you are not allowed to pass, it will affect it?"

The cow nodded again.

Yan Laoer dissatisfied: "Tell me, this cow is so high-tech, why can't it talk, and we have to guess. Next time we meet that person, we have to mention him and give us an upgrade."

"It's better if you can't talk, it's like a real cow." Li Xuemei doesn't want a talking cow, mooing is good, if she really wants to be able to speak, suddenly calling her Princess Iron Fan will scare her to death!

"Niu, can you cool down?" Yan Yu began to wonder.

"Can you stir-fry? Braised in soy sauce? Stewed? Why not steam it? You can dry it, and if you give you some water, you can steam it, no? Okay."

"Can it breathe fire? Light a pyre or something?"

"Can it dissipate heat? It can be used as a radiator. Do you know what a radiator is? I don't know. It's just a heating device. The heat dissipation keeps us from being so cold. Can this work? Hahahaha!"

"I can only think of so much for the time being, I will ask you what I think of in the future, bull! Oh, I have to give you a name, wait for me to think about it." Yan Yu stretched out her hand, the bull's head lowered naturally, she touched it, Turning back to the stunned Yan Laoer, he said, "Hurry up, Dad, let's make the jerky!"

Second Yan: "Oh, oh!"

The salted raw meat is sent in, and the salty and fragrant dried meat is spit out.

One person and one cow cooperate seamlessly.

"It's a pity that I didn't bring pepper noodles, chili noodles, and cumin, otherwise this jerky can be made into several flavors." Yan Yu felt a little regretful.

The amount of jerky meat is much less than that of raw meat, so they don't save it at all, and divide a few pieces for each person, put them on the body, and take them out to eat when they are hungry.

Pack up and set off on the road.

When we got to town, we went straight to the cloth shop.

I was in tears when I said too much, I was very happy when I sold it, but I found out that those scattered pieces are very useful.

It can be sewn into large and small cloth bags.

They also needed some wrapping cloths to hide their poverty.

Li Xuemei tore the cloth while enduring her heartache, and talked with others, and she tore six feet of cloth, which was two copper coins cheaper, and cost one hundred and eighteen wen.

"I won't buy cloth from outside again!" Li Xuemei regretted: "The cloth on the platform is so cheap, we will buy from there in the future."

Yan Yu murmured in a low voice, "You've learned a lot from a pit, we're still in the groping stage, and we'll definitely have to pay the tuition."

"Buy a few more bamboo tubes." Yan Lao Er walked towards the stall selling bamboo wares: "It's much cheaper than water pouches."

For oil, soy sauce, vinegar, etc., it is better to put them in bamboo tubes than jars, and they don’t take up too much space when they stand upright.

"Father, look at the wheels of those carts." Yan Yu's eyes were sharp, and he saw that the wheels of the bullock carts that were walking opposite them were wrapped with hemp rope.

Yan Laoer let out a hey, and went to buy hemp rope again, imitating others, and tried to wrap it, not to mention, it was quite good, if it was wrapped twice, the wood inside would not be exposed at all.

Hemp rope was very cheap, so Yan Laoer simply bought a large bundle and threw it on the car. This time the two iron wheels might come in handy.

"Father, how much money do we have?" Yan Yu asked.

Yan Laoer counted and said: "There is still a small piece of silver, plus these seven copper coins."

"Then let's not buy it, save some, just in case," Yan Yu said.

You can't have an empty pocket, and you have to reach out to your uncle if you want to buy something.

Unable to spend money, the family went back.

Li Xuemei took out the bamboo slips that she didn't have time to read yesterday, and read each word.

It's not traditional Chinese, but seal script!

She looked very slowly.

Yan Yu became dizzy at a glance, "Mother, what is written on it?"

"It should be written on... the method of making carbon." Li Xuemei looked back at the first column again: "The method of burning carbon in a fire."

"Look, there are paintings in the middle."

Yan Yu skipped the text and looked at the illustrations one by one, which is the story of a person who only uses wood and mud to burn charcoal.

sharp!

"It looks very simple, but we don't need it at all!" Yan Yu wanted to cry without tears: "Mother, I made a mistake. I shouldn't have chosen Bamboo Slip Three, I should have chosen Bamboo Slip One."

"Those bamboo slips should correspond to various skills. I bought the most useless one."

"How can it be useless?" Yan Laoer interjected: "Girl, it is useful! You forgot that we are going to the north, but it is very cold. This method of burning charcoal is very useful. Let's not talk about whether to sell it or not. I will How convenient it is to burn charcoal!

There is no need to save at all, it burns during the day and night, think about it, how relaxed our family is! "

Li Xuemei: "Your father is right. We have come to the north. If we have this skill, we can earn a living. It is more reliable than making jerky."

"Spicy jerky, how delicious it is!" Yan Yu muttered softly.

"Then you must have so many peppers!" Li Xuemei replied.

Yan Yu: Mother is right! The chili noodles are not enough for my family.
