It took a lot of effort for Liu Yunniang to explain to her own father where the knife came from.
After hearing the whole story, Yagyu couldn't help but sigh: "Our family has met a noble man. It is rare to find such a kind boss. My daughter, you have to work carefully!"
When Liu Sheng travels around the world, he pays attention to the idea of "not forgiving when there is a grudge, and repaying kindness when there is a spring of kindness." Lady Xi also travels around the world and practices the same set of rules of conduct. As the daughter of the two of them, Liu Yunniang naturally has a clear temperament of love and hate.
Seeing her father's instructions, she immediately nodded: "I know, father, please lie down first, and I will go and clean the water first."
"Hey, go ahead and work more carefully!" Liu Sheng smiled and waved his hands, while he lowered his head to thread the needle and thread, and began to mend some worn-out clothes for his family - although he could get up now, he couldn't do anything without the bed. Very few.
Fortunately, Yagyu wasn't the kind of rigid-minded person, nor did he think that men couldn't handle needlework, so he did his best to do things within his power, such as sewing and mending.
After mending a small hole, Liu Sheng nodded with satisfaction: his needlework skills are getting better and better.
But Su Qingluan found that something was wrong with the air after returning home - it was too quiet.
Not to mention the taciturn Su Guangfu, the two little guys Su Xuanhe and Su Xueyan, who were always noisy, were a little bit silent.
Su Qingluan pulled the two little guys to her room and asked quietly: "What's wrong? Why have you two become so good?"
"Sister, we have always been very good!" The little girl pursed her lips unhappily.
Su Xuanhe glanced at the main room where his father and mother were: "My mother and father are angry."
Ever since he entered school and was taught by Mr. Xu Shiyou, Su Xuanhe has become a little more stable than the skinny monkey before. When he is not naughty, he has a bit of a manly attitude.
After Su Qingluan asked carefully, he found out why the always good-tempered Yang was angry with Su Guangfu.
Actually it's not a big deal.
Now is the crisp autumn day. There is a saying called "autumn fat", and every family eats some pork more or less. Yang thought that she didn't know when the chef Su Qingluan would be back today, so she simply made some simple pork meatball soup as an after-dinner meal.
Because someone had to come back first to light the fire for the stove, Su Guangfu went to buy pork and spinach, while Yang came back to burn the stove first and steam the dumplings.
As a result, because Su Guangfu seldom went to the market alone and lacked the advanced skills of bargaining in the wet market, the butcher who killed the pig bought a lot of pork, not to mention a meal of pork meatball soup. After buying the meat, the Su family has been unable to live without pork for every meal for the past half month.
Although the price of this pork is indeed cheaper than usual, the total amount is too much. Yang's family just spends as much money as she has on shopping, so she is a stupid wife who cooks noodles - she doesn't count.
After Su Guangfu was scolded by Mr. Yang, he realized that he had not originally wanted to buy so much pork, but had been completely persuaded by the store's sweet talk and had been fooled.
But the reason why Yang is most angry is not this, but because even though the price is "cheap", pork is much more expensive than ordinary vegetables like radishes.
Although it is autumn now and the weather is getting cooler, after all, it is not the twelfth lunar month when dripping water can turn into ice. The weather cannot be used to preserve the extra pork for a long time.
Regarding the issue of long-term food preservation, Su Qingluan had also been curious before. Since the food shortage in winter is so severe that people can "die of cold and hunger", why not marinate meat and vegetables with a large amount of seasonings and make them into various kinds? How about various pickles and cured meats to survive the winter?
Later Su Qingluan figured it out - in the final analysis, it was because he was too poor.
Whether it is salt or spices, you have to buy them with money.
Usually when we have some money, we first buy enough food or clothes to keep out the cold. How can we have the spare money to buy "non-essential luxuries" like a large amount of spices?
What's more, even if the technique of curing bacon is not a particularly difficult skill to master, no matter how simple it is, if there is a lack of practice, you will not become very good at it immediately.
At this moment, Mr. Yang does not know that adding salt or other seasonings or spices to meat can greatly extend the storage time of meat.
However, because in the past, the Su family even had problems with the continuous supply of seasonings, it was naturally impossible to use them to make "luxury goods" such as "cured meat" and "salted meat". Yang did not know how to effectively preserve excess ingredients. , I can only watch it deteriorate, and it is difficult not to be anxious or angry.
After learning the whole story, Su Qingluan couldn't help but sigh slightly as she thought about what she wanted to achieve in the end: People like her who don't have to worry about food still know a little about the technology of preserving food, let alone how to "curate meat". "Bacon" is probably only heard about, and ordinary people who have never even seen it have never eaten it?
After Su Qingluan understood the whole ins and outs, he was no longer anxious and walked towards the kitchen with a smile.
In the kitchen, since the pork meatball soup was still being made today, Yang was furiously chopping the meat fillings with the "Double Knife Style" as if venting his anger.
The murderous look in her eyes made Su Qingluan pause for a moment as she stepped into the kitchen: After all, she was her daughter, she would not be killed and silenced...
Fortunately, Yang's anger was directed at Su Guangfu alone. When she found out that the person who came in was her eldest daughter, she immediately suppressed the coldness on her face and smiled lovingly: "You're back?"
"I'm home!"
"Auntie is making some pork stuffing. Da Ya, go and have a rest in the house. Just prepare for dinner later." Seeing her daughter walking away in a hurry, Ms. Yang couldn't help but feel distressed. He waved his hand to chase people away, "Go inside and wipe your sweat, drink some water, don't catch cold."
"Where can I rest?" Su Qingluan smiled and shook her head, "Ms. Yun gave me those twisted pieces of sesame before. I have to deal with them again, otherwise the sesame water coming out of the pot will be salty, bland, and all kinds of things. You can’t eat it.”
"What's more..." Su Qingluan looked at her mother carefully, "I saw so much pork outside, I have to deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise even though it is autumn now, there is still enough sunshine around noon, and the meat may be It would be a pity if it breaks down."
"Hmph, I get angry when you mention this!" Mrs. Yang's anger welled up, and she threw the knife with both hands "dong" and "dong" on the vegetable dumpling. The tip of the knife immediately sank into the vegetable dumpling made of tree trunks. , the hairs on Su Qingluan’s back stood up, “How to preserve this much meat!”
