Chapter 10 Suggestions for Mutton Soup
Shen Yanling's eyes lit up, mutton soup was a very good choice.
In ancient times, pork was considered by the upper class to be eaten by the lower classes because it was not very tasty.As for beef, because cattle are an important labor force, cattle cannot be killed easily.Therefore, mutton became the best-selling meat in the ancient upper class.
There are records that, in addition to money, the monthly salaries of those high-ranking officials also included various kinds of meat.
Among them, mutton is the most popular.
This is true, Shen Yanling remembered that she had attended a course in the Chinese Department, and a professor had analyzed it with them.
The reason why pork is not liked by the upper class is that people raise pigs and the pigsty is connected to the toilet. When people eat pork, they naturally think of the uncleanness of pigs.
In addition, the ancients also believed that eating pork is easy to get wind disease.Du Mu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, recorded in the "Preface to the Epitaph and Preface to the Epitaph of Xing Jun, the governor of Shezhou in the Tang Dynasty": "The herbal medicine says that meat (pork) can close the blood vessels, weaken the muscles and bones, and strengthen the wind.
Some people also said that it is because the pork in China is black pork, which is not as delicious as white pork.
However, Shen Yanling felt that black pork tasted much better than white pork.
It's just because the white pigs are sold quickly, which can satisfy China's large population and large demand for meat.
Black pork, on the other hand, is firmer, has a stronger flavor, and actually tastes good.
It's just because black pork is slow to be slaughtered. In many cases, it may take two years or more from piglets to slaughter.
As for white pigs, it only takes three to six months to be ready for slaughter.
Shen Yanling put down the spoon, and said to Wei Xiaoniang: "My lady, what do you think of this mutton soup?"
Wei Xiaoniang was a little strange: "The taste is naturally delicious."
Even for Wei Xiaoniang, the number of times she can eat mutton in a year is limited.
Butler Lin Xiaoniang, how could it be possible to send mutton to Wei Xiaoniang?That is to say, during the holidays, some will be distributed.
In Sheng Hong's monthly tribute, there are several catties of mutton every month.
However, most of these entered Lin Xiaoniang's mouth, and a small part was taken by Wang Ruofu.
Other girls want to eat, so they can only subsidize it by themselves and go out to buy it.
Seeing that Wei Xiaoniang didn't understand what she meant, Shen Yanling just wanted to add.
Sheng Minglan smiled and said, "My lady, what Yunlan means is, how about using this mutton soup to make money!"
Sure enough, he is clever. The ability to read words and act according to circumstances is not small.
No wonder he was able to live a prosperous life later on, even the big lady of the Gu family couldn't win.
But the current Sheng Minglan, besides being smart, is still a little bit out of touch, a little bit sharp.
If it is Sheng Rulan, and the latter is Sheng Molan, both are acceptable.
Because they have someone to support them, but Shen Yanling and Sheng Minglan can't.
"It's still necessary to quickly support the Wei family. Only when the mother's family rises can Wei Xiaoniang and their sisters have a better life in the Sheng family."
In ancient society, a woman's status in her husband's family was other than relying on her own business.What's more, it still depends on the power of the mother's family!
Wei Xiaoniang thought for a while and said, "Mutton soup is good, but there are two problems!"
Before Shen Yanling asked, Sheng Minglan asked first: "Xiao Niang, what's the problem?"
Wei Xiaoniang: "First, the ingredients in mutton soup, mutton is very expensive!"
With that said, Wei Xiaoniang looked at Shen Yanling, and saw that she didn't respond.Then he looked at Sheng Minglan again, and found that she seemed a little discouraged.
Well, or is the younger daughter smarter?
"Secondly, we don't know how to make that mutton soup. If it's a common practice, the mutton soup is delicious. But it has no special features. Why should others come to us to buy it?"
Saying that, Wei Xiaoniang looked at her little daughter to see what solution she had.
Sheng Minglan also blinked Kazilan's big eyes, looking at Shen Yanling.
Shen Yanling smiled and said: "These two problems are actually not a problem. Although mutton is expensive, mutton soup is mainly in soup. In a bowl of mutton soup, as long as there is a little mutton. In this way, a bowl of mutton soup is actually The cost is very little. The second question is that mutton soup is not easy to make, but in fact, I have read a few books these days, and there are 27 articles in "Qi Min Yao Shu" that focus on cooking. A more comprehensive introduction It describes the varieties, properties, origins, and breeding methods of animal and plant cooking materials; it describes the production technology of many condiments in detail; , it’s all about food preparation and so on. I also remember some, let’s buy some mutton these days and try it for ourselves. Then we can discuss it with Aunt Wei.”
Ok?
Wei Xiaoniang thought it was quite reasonable at first, but then she thought about Qi Min's essential skills, as well as Shi Zhenlu, Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals, these are all very complicated books.
On my side, apart from Lu's Spring and Autumn, there seems to be nothing else?
Shen Yanling rubbed her head: "I met my second elder brother before, so I went to see it at his second elder brother's place."
Well, Sheng Changbai is a talented man of the Sheng family, and he is also a legitimate son. If there are these books, it is also possible.
Wei Xiaoniang couldn't confirm with Sheng Changbai, so she acquiesced.
Although Wei Xiaoniang lives in poverty, she will never starve to death in the Sheng family.
It was impossible for Sheng Hong to allow this kind of thing to happen. If his concubine and daughter were starved to death, what face would he have in officialdom?
Although Lin Xiaoniang hated Wei Xiaoniang competing for favor with her, Lin Xiaoniang did not dare to go too far in some major matters.
And now Wei Xiaoniang has not been pregnant for several years, and Sheng Hong's favor is almost over.
So apart from scolding some Wei Xiaoniangs, there is nothing else.
Wei Xiaoniang has two taels of silver every month, and Shen Yanling and Sheng Minglan each have two taels of silver.
In this way, they actually have six taels of silver a month.
It's just that in ancient times people ate two meals, breakfast and lunch, and didn't eat dinner.
But rich people will prepare snacks and the like.
This point is where Wei Xiaoniang and others spend the most money.
You have to eat enough, and the taste can't be bad, so you often have to make up for it yourself and go out to buy some.
Or tidy up the kitchen and make some snacks or something.
The kitchen is definitely a place with a lot of oil and water!
Wei Xiaoniang doesn't have much money in her hand, but it's not impossible to take out some and try it out.
It's just that in the future, they may have to tighten their belts, and they may have to eat less.
Shen Yanling directed Xiaodie and Cherry to go shopping. It was not easy for her to go in and out by herself, so she could only ask the maids to go shopping.
However, under the command of Shen Yanling, although there were some twists and turns, such as buying the spice with the wrong name, and going to the pharmacy to get some samples.
In the end, it's done.
Next, is to try.
