Even if they gave some to Xiao Dashan, they would still have more than twenty kilograms of meat left.
Su Ruoran thought for a while and finally came up with an idea, "Milk, let's make it into jerky!"
"What kind of jerky?"
"Cook the meat with seasonings, cut it into slices or strips, and sauté it with oil. It will be delicious and easy to preserve. You can eat it directly or stew it into a dish. What do you think?"
Grandma Chen has never done it, but just from what Su Ruanruan said, she knows that it is very expensive to do.
Fortunately, they are not bad at this point now.
"If it's as delicious as you said, then the meat we froze can also be cooked."
Grandma Chen was talking about the meat they had frozen in a large vat in the shade of the backyard.
Without Su Aimin, these meats could be put into the treasure space, but with Su Aimin here, it would be inconvenient.
Su Ruoruan and Grandma Chen came up with a way. When the weather was the coldest in winter, they froze a lot of ice cubes and put them in the jar, put the meat in, and then piled thick snowdrifts around the jar. It was watering inside, and it was frozen solid after one night.
In that corner, the sun doesn't shine all day long, so the ice cubes haven't melted yet.
But the weather is getting warmer, and the ice can no longer hold up for a few days.
Grandma Chen and Su Ruanruan had discussed before that if it didn't work, they could just cook it in one pot.
Now that Su Ruanruan has come up with a new method, I can try it out.
This method was learned by Su Ruanruan from an educated youth in her previous life.
That educated youth came here in the 1970s, and it was still more than ten years away from now. She could only use this method in advance.
If Grandma Chen asked, she would say that she saw it in a book, but she had forgotten the specific book.
Fortunately, Grandma Chen didn't ask at all, so she didn't have to think of excuses.
The shepherd's purse dumplings at noon were particularly delicious, and all three of us ate a lot.
Originally, Su Ruanruan thought that she had made enough bags and could have a meal of fried dumplings at night, but she didn't expect that she would finish them in one meal.
Grandma Chen was very happy, it was great that there were no leftovers.
After lunch, Su Ruoran started rummaging in the cupboard.
In order to make it easier to use, Su Ruoran wrapped a large bag of various condiments in paper and put them in the cupboard, so as not to have them when they needed them, and to find a way to get them from the treasure space.
Anyway, Su Aimin doesn't cook, and he doesn't know how much peppercorns and aniseed ingredients are used in a meal. He can't tell how much peppercorns and aniseed ingredients are left at home.
Whenever she sees that various seasonings are missing, Su Ruanruan will secretly add some to it.
This time, Su Ruoruan took the opportunity to rummage and took out the seasonings directly from the treasure space. The ones in the cabinet were not touched at all.
Clean more than 20 kilograms of pork, cut it into pieces whether it is ribs or meat, and put it in a pot to soak in water.
After boiling the bleeding water, take out the meat, clean the pot and add water again.
When cooking this time, we no longer boil it with water, but put pepper, star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon, etc. in it, then pour some cooking wine, some soy sauce, a little salt, bring to a boil over high heat, and simmer over low heat.
This cooking lasted for several hours, until it was dark and the meat was soft and tender, and then it was served.
Put the meat aside and drain the water. Put the prepared onions, ginger, garlic, peppercorns, star anise, etc. into the pot and stir-fry until fragrant. Then add the meat.
