Restart the Disaster of Another World

With the end of the autumn harvest, Jing Yao's factory began to operate secretly. All the beets harvested from the farm were washed and sent in. In the near future, the Treasure Pavilion will have a new and popular food.

In order to thank Jing Yao for giving him the seeds, Li Guoan specially rewarded him with a cow. This was not a cow for plowing the land, but a cow that could be slaughtered for beef.

Wen Qun leaned against the side of the carriage, following Jing Yao's movements. After Jing Yao opened his bag, he began to search non-stop. Finally, he seemed to have found some treasure, with a look of joy on his face, and carefully took out a petite and cute puppy from it.

Perhaps because it was not used to the new environment, the puppy moved its body slightly and whimpered twice. Then, it licked Jing Yao's warm palm a few times, as if it had found a sense of security, and curled up to continue sleeping soundly. Wen Qun was amazed by the scene in front of him - the puppy was still alive!

"This... this dog is put in the bag, isn't it afraid of suffocating to death?" Wen Qun shook his head helplessly, feeling very puzzled by Jing Yao's behavior.

Jing Yao didn't seem to notice Wen Qun's strangeness. Instead, he happily handed the puppy to Wen Qun and said, "Try it now. It feels so comfortable!"

The puppy is covered with fur, which is soft and warm. Its small body rises and falls rhythmically with its breathing, making it look particularly adorable.

Wen Qun carefully took the puppy, held it tightly in his arms, gently stroked its body, felt the unique touch, and asked curiously: "Ayao, did you buy this puppy specially?"

"Of course! Is there anyone who would give it to me for free?" Jing Yao replied with a smile, "How is it? Isn't it cute?"

Wen Qun lowered his head and gazed at the puppy sleeping quietly in his arms, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and replied softly: "Well, it's really cute!"

Jing Yao smiled and said, "Then my husband will definitely like it."

Wen Qun immediately laughed and said, "Did you buy it for me?"

Seeing his obviousness, Jing Yao couldn't help but feel relieved. "Yeah! You don't like this thing."

Wen Qun smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

But in the end the puppy was taken away by Wen Xin. Although Wen Qun liked it, it was inconvenient to keep it at home and they couldn't take good care of it. So Wen Xin took it to the factory and let the puppy work as a security guard.

After the cow was brought back, Jing Yao found a strong butcher from the village and asked him to help kill the cow. After the cow was killed, it was divided into two parts and sent to the ranch and the factory respectively as a reward for everyone. The remaining beef was made into beef jerky.

It is not difficult to make beef jerky. It can be easily done in a few simple steps. First, soak the fresh beef in clean water to drain the blood. During this period, change the water several times to ensure that the blood is completely removed. After the beef is soaked, cut it into long and thin strips for later use.

Next, prepare a pot of cold water, put the cut beef strips into the pot, add scallions, ginger slices and various spices and stew together. As the water temperature rises, the blood foam in the pot gradually floats up. Use a spoon to skim off the foam, remove the beef, wash it, and then use kitchen paper or towels to absorb the surface moisture for later use.

Heat the pan and add cold oil. When the oil temperature reaches 70% hot, put the processed beef strips into the pan and fry them. When the beef strips are fried to golden brown, remove them and drain the oil. Then put appropriate amounts of Sichuan peppercorns, Sichuan peppercorns, dried chili peppers, five-spice powder, chili powder, white sesame seeds, salt and other seasonings into the pan, stir-fry quickly and evenly so that each beef strip is covered with seasonings.

The spicy beef jerky made in this way not only tastes delicious but also has a long shelf life. It can be stored for several months without spoiling easily. If you want it to look more attractive, you can sprinkle some white sesame seeds on it as embellishment.

Speaking of beef offal, it is even easier to handle. In fact, the edible parts of beef offal are very diverse. In addition to the common beef tripe, there are also beef liver, beef kidney, beef tendon and even bezoar, etc. How can such rich ingredients be wasted easily?

Especially in the cold winter like here, who doesn’t like the steaming hot food? From ancient times to now, almost no one can resist the charm of hot pot. After all, sitting together and enjoying a delicious hot pot in the cold winter is one of the greatest pleasures in life!

As time went by, the ox hooves stewed in the big pot gradually gave off an alluring aroma. Wen Qun stood up, carefully fished out the ox hooves, and set them aside to cool down a little. When they were no longer so hot, he picked up one of the ox hooves and chopped it into pieces along the bone seam. Then, he scooped a few bowls of fragrant soup from the big pot, poured it into a small pot, put the chopped ox hooves in, and slowly stewed it over low heat.

The remaining bone soup in the big pot was saved for tomorrow's consumption. Wen Qun carefully covered the pot to preserve the delicious taste. Then, he turned and walked to the backyard, picked a thick and white radish. After returning to the kitchen, he washed the radish, cut it into pieces, and gently put it into the pot. Suddenly, white radish petals floated on the surface of the originally milky bone soup, like a beautiful painting.

After simmering for half an hour, Wen Qun sprinkled in a handful of bright red wolfberries and a little green onion as embellishment. In an instant, a pot of ox hoof and radish soup with excellent color, aroma and taste appeared perfectly in front of him! In this cold winter day, drinking such a bowl of steaming hot soup seems to fill the whole body with warmth and vitality. The two happily shared an ox hoof, and even ate the accompanying radish cleanly, leaving no residue.

It had gotten completely dark. Looking down at the village from halfway up the mountain, white smoke was coming out of the chimneys of every household, indicating that they were preparing dinner.

Jing Yao invited many people from the village to the beef banquet, and asked his family to invite all the family members. When they heard that they were going to eat beef, and that the county magistrate had specially sent it, everyone was looking forward to it. No one came empty-handed. No matter whether it was a vegetable or a basket of rice, it was a token of their thoughtfulness.

Jing Yao specifically called out to the children in the village. Although these children were still young, they could still be considered half adults and were very decisive in doing things. Jing Yao quite liked interacting with them.

The hot red soup was boiling in the pot, giving off an alluring spicy aroma. It wasn't even time to eat yet! The children couldn't help but start drooling.

This was their first time eating hot pot like this, and the children seemed extremely excited and curious. After all, hot pot is a delicacy suitable for all ages, not only adults love it, but children love it even more. The weather outside was freezing cold and the wind was howling, but as long as the door was closed, the family sat together and enjoyed the steaming hot pot, which was simply cozy.

"Is this beef?" A villager picked up a piece of beef and examined it carefully with a curious look on his face. Beef was a rare thing for them, and they had never seen it before, but it looked quite similar to pork.

"Everyone, please don't be restrained and enjoy the meal! We are all family, there is no need to be polite and polite!" Jing Yao greeted everyone warmly.

"Who is being hypocritically polite to you?" Wen Li laughed and stuffed a large piece of beef into his mouth, then took a sip of wine: "It's really exciting! I didn't expect you to be so good at it!"

It has to be said that Wen Qun's skill in cooking beef is second to none. The beef has no fishy smell, only a rich meaty aroma. The stewing temperature is just right, neither too soft nor too dry; this unique taste seems to wander between soft and chewy, which is hard to describe. Paired with the secret sauce made of chili and various spices at the bottom of the pot, and the delicious broth made from cow hooves as the soup base, just smelling the tempting aroma will make people salivate. Once you taste it, it brings the ultimate enjoyment of spicy and fresh, which is endless.

After tasting it, everyone praised it highly, gave thumbs up to express their appreciation, and then buried their heads in their food and started to devour it voraciously again.

When you put a piece of the shabu-shabu beef tripe into your mouth, you will instantly feel a sense of satisfaction as if you have reached paradise. In addition, the marinated beef becomes particularly tender and juicy after roasting, and every bite allows you to fully appreciate the mellowness and deliciousness of the meat. Sprinkle some cumin powder on it, and the aroma is simply intoxicating.

Perhaps because the food was a bit spicy, the sound of sniffing continued. However, Jing Yao did not stop Wen Qun today. Seeing him sweating and his lips red while eating, he felt very happy.

The chopped mutton, fish fillets and pork were eaten up in no time, and even the vegetables were all eaten up. Wen Qun had a great appetite, and Jing Yao was naturally very happy to see this.

When the beef in the pot was almost finished, everyone started to add their favorite dishes. After the tripe was carefully cleaned, Jing Yao skillfully cut it into evenly thin slices and placed them neatly on the plate. Then, he put these thin slices of tripe into the boiling pot and gently rinsed them, and they instantly became crispy, tender, refreshing and elastic.

Not only that, Wen Qun also carefully prepared other ingredients. She soaked kelp, dried bamboo shoots and bean curd in advance, and then went to the backyard to pick fresh and tender pea tips and green spinach. These fresh vegetables were put into the pot of boiling and fragrant soup and cooked for a while, immediately exuding a mouth-watering aroma, which made people linger.

Everyone enjoyed this sumptuous meal to their heart's content. Even when their mouths were scalded by the hot soup, they were reluctant to put down their chopsticks. When the last bite of food was eaten, everyone patted their stomachs with satisfaction and exclaimed: "It's so delicious!"

"Qun Qun, your cooking skills are simply amazing!" Wen Xin gave a thumbs up and praised without hesitation.

"Yes, yes, A Yao is really in for a treat!" Even the head of the village couldn't help but laugh and tease Jing Yao.

As night fell and the lights came on, after the last bite of food was eaten, everyone stood up and prepared to leave. The Wen family, the head of the village, and other villagers said goodbye to the host, saying that the matter for the night was over and they could go home and rest with peace of mind. After all, they were busy all day and sleepy, and the most important thing at this moment was to have a good sleep. The warm-hearted aunts in the village took the initiative to help the canteen aunt clean up the dishes, and for these hard-working people, Jing Yao specially gave them a half-day holiday, allowing them to come back to work tomorrow afternoon.

After the two finished washing up, it was already completely dark outside. It was pitch black outside and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

Jing Yao and Wen Qun were equally exhausted, and they staggered towards the second floor, yawning. Earlier, the others had already left, and now only the couple was left in the courtyard. They both showed deep fatigue on their faces.

The next morning, Wen Qun rolled the noodles himself. The noodles were as thin as silk and surprisingly long. After they were cooked, they were topped with a fragrant bone soup, some green vegetables, chopped green onions, fried eggs, fried minced meat, a spoonful of sour beans, a little soy sauce, and a proper amount of hot sauce. The wonderful taste was unforgettable. Jing Yao ate three bowls by himself, and his satisfaction was beyond words.

Wen Qun was not at home, and Wen Yue wrote him a letter, so Wen Qun went to see Wen Yue and did not allow Jing Yao to follow him. Jing Yao originally wanted to follow him secretly, but he felt that it seemed a bit too childish, so he simply gave up and went home after visiting the factory and ranch.

Wen Zhong brought a large pile of lively fish, each of which was plump and delicious.

"How do you get so many fish?" Jing Yao asked in confusion.

Wen Zhong smiled and said, "This fish is called marlin. It tastes very good after being pickled. It is hard to find near the coast. I remember Uncle Wen said that the groups of people like to eat it very much. This time we encountered a nest of them and caught them all."

When Jing Yao heard this, he immediately looked at these fish very carefully and found that these fish looked very similar to hairtail fish, also silvery white, but very wide and large, and it looked like one catty weighed at least five or six catties. "Thanks, Brother Dazhong."

"You're welcome." Wen Zhong said and left. He had other things to do.

Jing Yao knocked them unconscious one by one, then carefully scraped off the scales with a knife, cut the fish open from the back, carefully took out the internal organs, and carefully scraped off the black film on the fish belly. He knew that if the black film was not removed, the fish might have an unpleasant smell. After all the fish were cleaned, Jing Yao rinsed them in clean water, then put them in a bamboo basket and let them drain naturally.

After finishing these tasks, Jing Yao did not stop. He quickly cleaned up the debris and garbage around him, then walked to the place where the duck eggs were stored and took them out one by one. The duck eggs were round and smooth, exuding a faint fragrance. Jing Yao first wiped off the dirt on the surface with a damp cloth, and then evenly coated them with a layer of fragrant spice salt made from a variety of spices such as salt, fennel, and five-spice powder. Finally, he placed the duck eggs wrapped with spice salt neatly in the pottery jar until the jar was filled, and then tightened the lid to seal it. In this way, the delicious salted duck eggs were ready.

In fact, there are many ways to make salted duck eggs, but people in the village generally use this traditional method. After a period of pickling, these duck eggs will become salty and fragrant, with an excellent taste.

Looking at the two cans of salted duck eggs in front of him, Jing Yao felt a sense of accomplishment. The duck eggs sent by the farm this time were finally put to good use. As for the eggs sent along, Jing Yao had a special plan. Wen Qun was still growing and needed nutrition. Therefore, he decided to cook two eggs for Wen Qun every day, to help him supplement his nutrition while he was still young, hoping that he could grow taller.

In addition to pickled duck eggs, Jing Yao also carefully pickled the dried grass carp with chili peppers, shredded ginger, white wine, onions, peppercorns and other condiments. After it is fully flavored, it is placed in the sun to dry, and it becomes delicious dried fish. This kind of dried fish can be stored for a long time without deterioration as long as it is kept in a cool and ventilated place. Whether it is steamed or fried directly, it has a unique flavor.

After finishing everything, Jing Yao found that there was nothing else to do, so he picked up the fish that Wen Zhong had brought. Jing Yao carefully strung them together with straw into two strings of three and one string of two. Then, he found a few leaves to pad the bottom of the backpack and carefully put the fish in. After everything was ready, Jing Yao went out with the backpack full of fish on his back.

When he arrived at Wen's mother's house, he found that Wen Xing was also at home. Knowing that Wen Qun was out and he was the only one at home, the two decided to stay and have lunch together. This made the cute twins very happy. They were very excited and kept playing with Jing Yao. Due to frequent interactions with other children in the village, the two little guys became more and more lively and naughty. Although Wen's mother was a little helpless, she saw that Wen Xing didn't care about it, so she didn't stop them from having fun.
