"Uncle Li, give me two pounds of tenderloin."

"Okay." Butcher Li responded loudly and cut the best piece of meat quickly and efficiently.

When Ping'an heard Xu Si's voice, he ran out of the house and looked at her obediently with his big eyes.

Xu Si used the hand that was not holding anything to pat the little bun on his head, and Ping'an didn't move and just let her play.

When she took the meat, she felt that the weight was a little off. "Uncle Li, your cooking skills need to be improved. Why do I feel that it is more than 2 kilograms?"

Butcher Li laughed and said, "You girl, do you still doubt my ability?"

Seeing that he couldn't hide it from Xu Si, he explained, "Ping An usually eats a lot of good food at your place, and I am not estranged from you. You can take this extra meat."

Although Xu Si and the others didn't say it, Ping An also told him that every time they had something delicious, they would not be stingy and would give the same treatment to Qi Ning.

"Okay, I won't be polite. Ping An, come with me to the shop. I'm going to make pork jerky today. The kids will definitely love it."

Xu Si pinched Ping'an's face, which had grown a little fatter. He looked much better than when they first met.

However, since he ate little since he was young and had a small appetite, it was not something that he could gain weight in a short period of time.

Ping'an was so excited when he heard this that he nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.

Butcher Li couldn't help but smile when he saw his son like this. "Okay, I'll pick him up at noon."

As we were talking, the pig ears we were going to buy today had already had their hair burned off. There were 6 in total, 4 of which were from Butcher Li and the other 2 were bought from his friend.

It was just a convenient thing for him, and it also saved Xu Si from having to buy it somewhere else.

After paying and taking his things, Xu Si's two hands were occupied, so he asked Ping'an to hold on to his clothes to prevent him from getting lost.

Ping'an's little hand tightly held Xu Si's sleeve and followed closely.

Butcher Li watched his son leave without hesitation, without even looking back at him. He felt relieved but also a little disappointed.

My son has to grow up and have his own life. I can’t imagine how reluctant he will be in the future.

Dahuang, Xiaobai and Qining were playing in front of the store. When they saw Xu Si, they all ran towards her.

Ping'an's eyes lit up. He let go of Xu Si's clothes, jogged a few steps, and walked in front of Xu Si hand in hand with Qi Ning.

Big Yellow and Little White were sniffing at her feet, their tails wagging like Hot Wheels.

After a day and a half of drying, the mud kiln has completely dried, so it's a good opportunity to try it out and see if it works.

Wash the tenderloin, peel off the skin, and start summoning rhubarb.

Dahuang pricked up his ears and ran into the kitchen.

Xu Si threw it in its direction, Dahuang jumped slightly, and the pig skin went into its mouth.

Then he turned around and went out with it in his mouth, finding a place to slowly enjoy the delicious food.

Pig skin is a good thing, and the pig skin jelly made from it is very delicious. However, the weather is so hot that it is difficult to shape it through natural cooling without a refrigerator.

Xu Si took two kitchen knives and started chopping the stuffing. She always felt that the meat minced by a machine was not as delicious as the meat chopped by hand.

I feel that the chopped ones are more sticky and chewy.

There is a whole bowl of chopped meat, and now it’s time to season it.

Add brown sugar, salt, soy sauce, pepper, and a little red yeast rice powder for coloring, stir well and marinate for one hour.

When the time is up, spread a portion of the meat filling on an oiled iron plate and press it flat and thin with a tool.

Shen Anyi had already started the clay kiln and it was almost preheated. Xu Si put the iron plate into the kiln and blocked the opening.

After 10 minutes, use tongs to remove the iron plate, brush the pork jerky with honey water, sprinkle some white sesame seeds, and continue to bake for 10 minutes.

The aroma of meat wafted out from the cracks in the clay kiln, attracting Dahuang and Xiaobai to keep wandering around the kiln.

Xu Si had no choice but to watch over them to prevent them from getting burned.

The finished pork jerky has shrunk a lot, has a bright red color, and is of moderate thickness.

Repeat this step with the remaining mincemeat.

A total of 2 slices were made for 6 pounds of meat. After cooling, cut it into small pieces with scissors.

Qi Ning and Ping An couldn't wait any longer and were waiting eagerly, swallowing their saliva quietly.

Xu Si gave each of them 3 yuan and asked them to go out to eat.

The people in the kitchen also came over and took a piece to try.

“Delicious, chewy and not at all dry.”

"This honey water is the finishing touch, and it also has a sesame scent." Su Jinyue slowly savored the faint sweetness.

"When you feel like eating meat, have a piece of it, it will make you happy."

Xu Si smiled and said, "There's no need to do this. Just treat it as a snack and do it after you finish eating."

When the plates left by the previous guests were taken away, someone suddenly asked, "Miss Xu, I just saw one of you chewing something, it looked delicious, what was that?"

She turned her head and saw that the person asking the question was Shi Rufeng.

Because he had a good temper, loved to eat, was rich, and was a student at the county school, Xu Si also had an impression of him.

"Mr. Shi has a good eye. That's the pork jerky we made. Have it as a snack."

"Are you selling it?" Shi Ruofeng was a little expectant. He was already impressed by Xu Si's cooking skills.

Every new product never disappointed him. His father was also a member of Mr. Wang’s banquet. When he came back, he talked about the cooking skills of a restaurant chef, which amazed him even more.

"This," Xu Si hesitated.

People nearby also heard the conversation between the two and advised with a smile, "Miss Xu, don't be stingy. Just sell us some to try. Don't forget us when you have something delicious."

"Yes, we didn't know if we'd ever get to eat the daifuku we sold before, but now we have something else to satisfy our cravings."

Since things have come to this, Xu Si had no choice but to agree, "Okay then, but we don't make much, so everyone should buy slowly."

He said something to his family and kept a portion for himself, and the rest of the pork jerky was taken away by Xu Siquan.

Shi Ruofeng was quick to squeeze to the front, his eyes burning, "How much is this?"

"One penny for each piece."

"Okay, give me 30 pieces." He said as he was about to pay.

"Hey, little brother, if you buy so much, what should we buy? Look, we still have so many people." Someone behind couldn't help but say.

Shi Ruofeng looked back and saw that there were more than a dozen people gathered around, and some guests were sitting in their seats looking at them, and they were also a little moved.

Shi Ruofeng apologized politely, "Then give me 20 pieces. I really can't give less this time. I'll give one to my friend later. I don't have many left."

Seeing that he had given in a lot, the other guests stopped talking.

Xu Si wrapped 20 slices of pork jerky in oil paper and handed them to him, while motioning him to put the money in a jar beside him.

Shi Ruofeng squeezed out of the crowd with difficulty, and the first thing he did was to take a piece of pork jerky and put it into his mouth.

It has a roasted taste, moderately sweet and salty, and becomes more fragrant the more you chew it.

He happily returned to his seat and began to think about how many pieces he should give to his friends.

Xu Si suddenly felt that there were actually quite a few rich people hidden in the county, and all the pork jerky was sold out in a short while.

Some people just got it and wanted to order more after tasting it, but were pushed aside by others.
