Chapter 19 Pork Dumplings

The next day, Yuan Hong took Nanny Zhang over.

"I brought green peppers, eggplants, beans, and cucumber seeds, as well as tomatoes that have been brought over from other lands in recent years, but these are not edible. They look red when they grow up, and I think you will like them, so I brought them here together. , but remember, this is for viewing, so don't eat it by mistake!" Zhang Nanny opened the small cloth bag and showed it to Zhang Jin.

Zhang Jin didn't realize that there were tomatoes. In the ancient times of another world, tomatoes were probably introduced into China during the Ming Dynasty. They were always regarded as ornamental plants. No one knew that they could be eaten. It seems that the situation here is similar.

Of course Zhang Jin knew the value of tomatoes, but Nanny Zhang would definitely not believe what he said. After all, she had never heard of anyone eating this thing. How could a person like Zhang Jin who knew nothing about planting know that tomatoes were edible? Inconclusive.So Zhang Jin just took the seeds very happily, and didn't explain the situation of the tomato to Madam Zhang, and planned to tell him after planting it later.

Nanny Zhang inspected the vegetable field and said, "It's best to get some fertilizer on a newly opened vegetable field like this, so that the vegetables can grow well. Pig manure, cow manure and human excrement are all very useful."

The scene of digging out excrement came to Zhang Jin's mind, his face froze, and his stomach suddenly felt a little nauseous.

"Don't you have a cow in your family? Have you kept the dry manure? If you have any, you can get it and mix it in the vegetable field, and then mix it with some dry leaves, hay, straw and the like."

Zhang Jin resisted the discomfort in his stomach and walked to the back of the cattle pen.They have collected the dried manure and put it in a dug cesspool, because they know that they will need fertilizer for farming in the future, so they have already prepared it.

"Your complexion is not good, rest here for a while, I will go alone." Yuan Hong blocked Zhang Jin, and went over to make shit by himself.

Zhang Jin didn't force himself, and stayed where he was obediently, because he felt nauseous before seeing him.

Nanny Zhang also noticed that Zhang Jin's face was a little pale, and she thought it was because he couldn't stand such filthy things, so instead of forcing him to learn this procedure, she dragged him to the well and taught him how to deal with it seed.

"For seeds, you usually need to soak them first, and wait for them to germinate before planting them. There are also some seeds that need to grow seedlings, which will be a little more troublesome. These only need to be soaked, which is very simple." Zhang Momo said while demonstrating, Zhang Jin carefully remembered it beside him.

Mammy Zhang later told Zhang Jin many matters and details that need to be paid attention to when growing vegetables, as well as how to care for the vegetables after they grow, how to deworm them, and so on.Zhang Jinzai listened carefully.

During the conversation between the two, Yuan Hong quickly finished the vegetable field.

Zhang Momo nodded in satisfaction after reading it, "That's about it. I've said everything I need to say. If you have any questions, you can ask me again. Zhang Jin will also listen to the next sowing. Now I can go down the mountain with peace of mind." gone."

"You stay here and have dinner with us before leaving, we haven't thanked you yet." Zhang Jin asked to stay.

"Thank you so much! Why are you so out of touch, kid!" Zhang Nao pretended to be angry, "Okay, I'm definitely going down the mountain, the naughty ghosts are at home without me, it looks like the world will be turned upside down, next time I'll go up the mountain again See what you're doing."

Seeing that Nanny Zhang couldn't be kept, Yuan Hong and Zhang Jin had no choice but to pull out the bullock cart and send the old man down the mountain.

After the seeds were soaked, Zhang Jin sprinkled them into the vegetable field according to Madam Zhang's instructions, hoping to see the results soon.

"Ugh..." After Zhang Jin came up from the vegetable field, she couldn't help holding on to the tree trunk in the yard and retched.

Seeing this, Yuan Hong patted Zhang Jin on the back in a little panic, and took him into his arms after Zhang Jin recovered a bit.

"Teach me about this kind of thing in the future, don't touch it again!"

"I don't know what happened today. It may be the first time I have come into contact with something like cow dung. It's a bit nauseating. I won't be like this after I get used to it."

Zhang Jin felt much better after being taken into the bathroom by Yuan Hong and washed thoroughly.After a little dinner, I was so tired that I couldn't lift my spirits.Yuan Hong carried him to bed, and couldn't help but worry about Zhang Jin's current condition. Zhang Jin started to have some symptoms when he was in the cave, and now his condition is getting worse.

"I'll take you to the town to see a doctor tomorrow."

Zhang Jin smiled slightly, "It's okay, there will be a feeling of lethargy in spring...it will be fine after a while..."

Seeing Zhang Jin's eyes narrowed, Yuan Hong carefully put him on the bed, not making any noise for fear of disturbing his sleep.

After the matter of the vegetable garden was settled, Zhang Jin was thinking about how to make money.After thinking about it, I have no idea. It would be very tiring for Yuan Hong to hunt alone, and he would inevitably worry about his safety.

Zhang Jin couldn't help complaining why she didn't learn more practical things at the beginning. When she came here, she didn't know many things, not to mention how difficult it is to earn money.

When Zhang Jin was struggling to make money, he saw pork kept in the kitchen.Last time, I cut off a hind leg and sent it to Nanny Zhang. I wanted to take the rest of the meat to the town to sell, but it was delayed because of some things. Now it is kept in the kitchen.

Dealing with these meats has also become a problem. Zhang Jin wants to make these meats into bacon and sausages like last time, but I haven't finished eating the last time, so I have left a lot, and it would be too wasteful to make it again.

It would be great if the pork would not go bad after being dried, Zhang Jin thought in her heart.

"That's right!" Zhang Jin's thoughts brightened, "I can make pork jerky!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Jin finally laughed. When Yuan Hong hunted, the proportion of wild boars he hunted was relatively high. He could make the excess pork into pork jerky and sell them in the town, so that he could earn money and reduce his burden. Hong's burden.

Just do it, Zhang Jin ran to the kitchen and started cooking the pork.But because there were too many, Zhang Jin cut one of the 4 and would be sore if he didn't get it.

It just so happened that Yuan Hong came back from hunting. Looking at Zhang Jin, who was busy and sweating profusely, he took his hands into his palms and kneaded them for him.

"Does your hand still hurt?"

Zhang Jin smiled helplessly, "I said it doesn't hurt, it's just a little sore. After you pinched it, it's much better."

"I'll do it later, just teach me how to do it." Yuan Hong pinched Zhang Jin for a while before putting down his hands.

The reason why Zhang Jin can make pork jerky is thanks to a former college classmate of his.People in his classmate's hometown love to eat and are good at cooking, especially the snacks are very good, and pork jerky is one of the famous snacks.

His classmate's mother is even more outstanding.When Zhang Jin went to his house to play, he couldn't forget the pork jerky made by his mother. His mother also liked Zhang Jin very much, and finally taught Zhang Jin how to make pork jerky.

The pork jerky made according to the method taught by his mother is really delicious.After Zhang Jin learned it, she often made it, and even the old gluttonous grandfather praised it.

Because there was so much pork, it would take a lot of work to chop it up after cutting it, so Yuan Hong got a big wooden stick and beat the chopped pork vigorously, breaking it into minced meat.When it was about the same time, Zhang Jin added salt, wine, soy sauce, honey, pepper and other condiments, and then stirred these ingredients with the minced meat evenly.Brush a layer of oil on the iron plate, roll the minced meat until it is thin, brush it with honey, bake it over low heat, turn it over and continue on the other side.

In this way, the production of pork jerky is completed.During the roasting process, the sweet taste made the two of them salivate desperately. After the first batch of pork jerky was baked, the two couldn't wait to taste it.

"I've never eaten this kind of pork food." Yuan Hong said in admiration, "It's so delicious!"

Zhang Jin opened his eyes wide in surprise. Originally, the conditions here were limited, and he thought that the taste of the cooking would be a little worse than the one he made before. Unexpectedly, it was not only not bad, but also tasted a lot better.Maybe it's because of beating with a stick, the jerky pork is more chewy than before, and the taste is deeper, and the roasting method is different, with a roasted aroma, the taste is really amazing.

Zhang Jin didn't expect to succeed by mistake. If it is such a taste, it will definitely be sold.The first batch of roasted pork jerky was eaten by the two of them. It was obvious that Yuan Hong had become a loyal fan of this snack.

Next, the two roasted the remaining pork into pork jerky, which weighed 50 catties.Although tired, both of them were very excited.

"Let's go to the town tomorrow, sell the prey you caught, and see if anyone is willing to buy our dried pork." Zhang Jin wiped the sweat off Yuan Hong's forehead, "Before going to town, Let's go to Madam Zhang's house first, and bring some dried pork for the old man to taste."

Yuan Hong smiled, "Well, I hunted another young wild boar today. It was alive. I tied it outside for fear of disturbing you. Since we can make pork jerky, we won't sell it."

"it is good."

Zhang Jin packed up the things that were going to be sold that night, and she could go straight away when she woke up tomorrow morning.At night, the two embraced and slept together, and Zhang Jin began to have confidence in life in this world...

The author has something to say: the information on growing vegetables is based on Baidu and my mother’s past experience, and the production of dried pork is from Baidu~-~~-~···
