The beef strips were almost marinated. Su Lele poured a little oil into the large wooden plate and stirred the beef strips evenly.
He ordered Qiu Yu and the others to place the strips of beef on oil paper in a large iron plate, and then put them in the oven to bake for half an hour.
"Qiu Yu, when half an hour is up, take out the beef strips from the oven, pour out the moisture from the beef, and put it back into the oven for two-quarters of an hour."
"Okay, miss."
After it was done, Su Lele took the still hot hand-shredded beef jerky, tore off a thin strip of meat and put it into his mouth eagerly.
"Hmm~ It's fragrant and chewy. You won't forget it after eating it."
She used to like to eat this shredded beef jerky while watching dramas, and the more she chewed, the more she got addicted to it.
Qiu Yu praised while eating: "Miss, the tastes of this beef jerky and pork jerky are very different, each with its own characteristics. The beef is moderately salty, dry but not woody, and the more you chew it, the more fragrant it becomes."
Leng Yichen smelled the overbearing aroma of meat before he even stepped into the courtyard of Yanyu Pavilion. It seemed that she was ready to eat again tonight. At this time, the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously.
Leng Lei, who was following the prince, also smelled this irresistible fragrance. He felt bad. It seemed that the princess had prepared delicious food again tonight.
No wonder Lengfeng had to switch shifts with Lengdian just now. He heard it clearly just now. The reason Leng Feng gave was that he had eaten the wrong thing and his stomach was uncomfortable, so he wanted to squat in a manhole.
It seems that Lengfeng knew in advance that the princess had prepared delicious food, and did not want to suffer the penalty of being unable to eat after smelling it.
The way he pretended to be sick was so realistic that he almost deceived him. It would be a shame for him not to become an actor.
While Su Lele was eating beef jerky and chatting with Qiu Yu, he saw that tall and majestic figure, and a brisk voice sounded:
"Your Majesty, come and try this shredded beef jerky."
"good."
Leng Yichen walked lightly to sit next to Su Lele, and the maid handed him a handkerchief.
After wiping his hands, he elegantly picked up a piece of beef jerky and imitated Su Lele's example of tearing the beef strips apart with his hands.
The name is interesting because the beef jerky is torn open and eaten with hands, hence the name hand-shredded beef jerky.
"It tastes good, chewier than pork breast, and the beef is not dry or woody."
"Any suggestions?"
She wants to listen more to the opinions of ancient people and cater to their tastes, so that the snacks she makes will be accepted by more people.
"You can make beef jerky with three different spiciness levels: not spicy at all, slightly spicy, and spicy."
Su Lele looked at him with a smile: "This is a good suggestion. I'll accept it."
She was in a happy mood and said to the two guards behind the prince who were looking at him with disbelief: "You two should also try this shredded beef jerky. I also made beef brisket noodles. There is a lot of them. You can also eat together."
The two of them smiled happily: "Thank you, Princess, for the reward, little one."
The happiest thing is Leng Lei, he made a profit tonight. Lengfeng's conspicuous bag tonight really confirmed the saying: stealing chickens can't eat rice.
After a while, the sound of sniffing could be heard from time to time in the courtyard.
Su Lele, Qiu Yu, Leng Lei, and Leng Dian were there sucking noodles and eating them with gusto. Leng Yichen was the only one who didn't make a slurping sound when eating noodles. He chewed the delicious noodles slowly.
Leng Lei bit into a piece of beef brisket, took a sip of noodles, and then sipped the soup: "The brisket is soft and tender, the noodles are chewy and smooth, and the soup is fresh and fragrant. It's amazing."
Leng Dian was also eating and praising him. It seemed that his lucky star had fallen on him tonight. He really had to thank Leng Feng.
At this time, Lengfeng came to Chenxiang Pavilion to get snacks because he was not full in the dining room.
Su Lele was full after eating a large bowl of noodles.
With nothing to do at the moment, she looked to the left at Qiu Yu who was sucking the second bowl of beef noodles, and then to the right to look at Leng Lei and Leng Dian who were sucking the third bowl of beef brisket noodles.
The corners of her mouth turned up unconsciously. She felt very accomplished when she saw others eating the food she cooked with gusto.
At this time, Leng Yichen had also finished his second bowl. He looked at Su Lele with his bright black eyes and said in a deep and deep voice: "Let's go shopping."
"Okay, taking a walk after eating will help digestion."
The two of them walked slowly on the path beside the lotus pond, feeling a cool breeze blowing, which made them feel very comfortable.
Leng Yichen suddenly stopped and looked at her: "The king is going to Yunzhou City for business in the future. It will take about half a month to come back. If you have any questions, you can go to the housekeeper directly."
"In addition, I will arrange Lengfeng to follow you, so that he can guard you when I am not around."
Su Lele looked back and smiled: "Okay, I accept your kindness. When you set out the next day, I will prepare some food for you in advance."
"Let's set off at 10:00 the day after tomorrow."
"good."
Half an hour later, the two came back from a walk. Su Lele went back to her room to take a shower and change clothes, while Leng Yichen continued to go back to the study to do business.
Leng Lei: "Your Majesty, how many secret guards will be mobilized to follow this trip to Yunzhou City?"
"Arrange for 30 people to follow!"
"OK."
Going out this time is a bit risky, so Leng Lei thinks it’s right to bring more people with him.
The next morning, not long after Leng Yichen woke up, Su Lele also woke up. She had a lot to do today.
After washing up, I immediately moved to the small dining room. Today she plans to make some shredded beef jerky, salted egg yolk biscuits, and meat floss rolls for the prince to take away tomorrow.
I heard from the prince last night that dozens of people would follow him out.
So she planned to pack some of the other snacks that were already on sale for them to take away.
"Qiu Yu, Chef He said when the beef will be delivered."
"My slave just asked, and it won't be delivered until noon."
After hearing Qiu Yu's reply, Su Lele had a plan. She planned to make some salted egg yolk biscuits first, then instruct the maids to make shredded beef jerky, and finally make some meat floss rolls.
"Chunmei, you guys will crack open 100 salted duck eggs, take out the salted egg yolks, then soak the salted egg yolks in oil, and take them out after a quarter of an hour."
"OK."
Soaking salted duck eggs in oil can remove the fishy smell.
After Su Lele prepared the required ingredients and seasonings, she began to make the water-oil skin. Put the solidified lard into the flour, then add milk and a little sugar, knead it into a dough, and seal it with a lid for about a quarter of an hour.
During this period, Su Lele placed the salted egg yolks in a large iron plate, sprinkled a little white wine on top of the salted egg yolks, and then put the salted egg yolks into the oven to dry.
"Qiu Yu, you will crush the salted egg yolk later. The more crushed it is, the better."
After giving the instructions, Su Lele put the pieces of pork sent from the dining room into the pot, added water, wine, and ginger, and then ordered the maid to light the fire and cook it until soft.
After crushing the salted egg yolk, Su Lele put it into a large wooden plate filled with flour, then added lard and salt, kneaded the flour into a ball, and the pastry was ready.
Then she used a rolling pin to roll out the watery dough and then wrapped it in puff pastry. Then use a rolling pin to roll it into an oval shape, then fold the dough in half, roll it into an oval shape again, fold it in half again, repeat this several times, and then let the dough rest for a while.
Cut the dough into equal-sized pieces and poke small holes into each piece of biscuit with a wooden skewer.
Finally, put the salted egg yolk biscuits into the oven and bake for two quarters of an hour.
