After dying early, I traveled to ancient times and became a boy

Ye Zongkuan didn't kill a big pig, but a piglet that he had raised for more than half a year, so he didn't need many people to help. Only his cousin and Ye Xunqing came to help.

"Qing'er, I heard you made a lot of money yesterday afternoon." Ye Zongkuan asked, "How much did you make?"

Ye Xunqing replied, "Uncle, how much money can I earn? It's just a few copper coins. And that money is not mine alone. The candy is from my aunt's house, so I have to give her at least some money. The peaches are from Second Brother Feng's family, so I gave him some money. When it comes to me, I just count it with a slap."

Ye Zongkuan also guessed that he didn't make much money. He was just a young man, how much money could he make?

"Well, let's get ready to slaughter the pig." Ye Zongkuan sharpened his knife. "Go and bring a pound of meat later."

"Thank you, uncle." Ye Xunqing said, "Don't worry, uncle, I'll remember this money. When I make money, I will definitely pay you back."

Ye Zongkuan didn't believe that a young man like him could make much money, but he didn't object.

After the pig was slaughtered, Ye Xunqing picked out a pound of fat and lean meat. Fatty meat was expensive, and this pound cost thirty-four or thirty-five cents. However, he did not plan to pay now, and would pay when he had more money.

Ye Zongkuan asked him to pick up some pig offal. If it was not processed properly, it would be very unpalatable. Rich people would not buy it. Ye Zongkuan himself did not like to eat it, and he could not sell it at a good price, so he simply gave it to his nephew as a favor.

Ye Xunqing calmly chose the pig's stomach and small intestines, which were more delicious when braised. Ye Zongkuan was quite generous and gave him half a heart, saying that it would help him improve his mind.

Ye Xunqing would definitely accept anyone who offered him something. Even if all the offal was given to him, he would not refuse it.

Ye Xunqing did not bring the dirty sewage to the village chief's house. Instead, he found a clean river, washed all the sewage clean, and then brought it to the village chief's house.

The village chief's house had a relatively complete range of seasonings, and the strange thing about ancient times was that there was chili peppers. Ye Xunqing liked this very much, so he prepared a marinade and put all the offal into it.

At first, Wang Qiumei didn't want him to make these things here because they looked too disgusting, but when she thought that the child could bring delicious food, she agreed.

The fire on the left was used to braising the water, and the right was used to stir-fry the meat sauce. The meat was stir-fried first, and after it was dry, the mushrooms were added, followed by a large spoonful of Wang Qiumei's homemade bean paste, dried chilies and chopped garlic, and finally a spoonful of hot oil. The fragrant smell attracted everyone over, and Ye Hongsheng couldn't help but come to the kitchen to take a look.

"What is that that smells so good?"

Wang Qiumei dipped a little with her chopsticks and gave it to him to taste. "How about you try it?"

"Wow, it's delicious!" Ye Hongsheng praised it endlessly, "Give me some more to try."

Ye Xunqing reminded her, "Auntie, didn't you steam the buns? It would be even more delicious if you add some buns to it."

This reminded Wang Qiumei, and she quickly took out two steamed buns from the steamer, broke off a little for each of them, and said, "Try them all."

Steamed buns are made of white flour, but they are not pure white, but rather yellowish. This is not because the flour is dirty, but because the productivity is relatively backward and the wheat husks cannot be completely removed.

Ye Xunqing didn't mind it either. He scooped a small spoonful of sauce with a spoon and stuffed it into the broken steamed bun. The rich aroma of the meat sauce immediately rushed into his nose, and it also had a little bit of spicy taste.

"It's delicious, so delicious!" Wang Qiumei said, "I've never made a sauce with mushrooms and meat before."

Meat is very expensive, and fragrant mushrooms grow on dead trees, so picking them is not safe, so this thing is not cheap either. No one dared to mix such expensive things together, except Ye Xunqing who was brave enough.

Ye Xunqing uses less meat, after all, it is only one pound, and uses more mushrooms, so the taste is more fragrant.

"Auntie, how much do you think I should sell this for?" Ye Xunqing asked humbly.

Wang Qiumei said, "Bring the mushroom and meat sauce with you tomorrow morning. I'll help you find a good family and sell it to you at a high price."

Ye Xunqing said happily: "I will treat Auntie to some noodles when the time comes."

"That's easy." Wang Qiumei was more concerned about how to make the mushroom meat sauce. "Well, I'll go buy a few pounds of meat and you can teach me."

"Okay, okay." Ye Xunqing said.

If someone else asked, Ye Xunqing might not teach, but Wang Qiumei was his benefactor, so he had to teach.

As they were talking, the braised offal was ready. Ye Xunqing first fished the offal out, then asked Xiaobai to continue adding firewood to make the marinade thicker so that he could use it to dip the offal in the sauce.

"I've never eaten anything like this in my life," Ye Hongsheng said. "When I went abroad with my father in the early years, I did eat a braised dish in the north, but it wasn't as good as this. This one, on the other hand, isn't too sweet, nor is it too salty. It's fragrant and tender, absolutely delicious!"

Ye Xunqing cut a small piece of each and kept the rest for them to eat. A piglet only had so little offal, so Ye Xunqing didn't plan to sell the braised meat, but wanted to keep it for his family.

Ye Xunqing shared some mushrooms with Wang Qiumei. Wang Qiumei said that mushrooms were not cheap, so she didn't ask for money for candy. Now Ye Xunqing can earn more tomorrow.

This time, Ye Xunqing was steaming canned peaches, which turned out delicious. After the cans were steamed, he did not take them home, but put them in the cellar of the village chief's house. The cellar was quite cold and could reach the refrigeration temperature of a modern refrigerator.

Wang Qiumei said she would help him watch over the peaches and prevent anyone from stealing them. She was referring to the greedy sister and brother at home.

Ye Xiyun said that he would pay, but Ye Xunqing was too embarrassed to say it, so he just took a small jar and let them eat.

In the evening, the Feng family was sitting in the yard eating dinner. They had eaten eggs yesterday, so there was no meat to eat tonight, so the family had boiled cabbage with plain water to go with the meal.

We also eat steamed buns in the evening. After the wheat is harvested, we eat more noodles.

"Is Second Brother Feng home?" Ye Xunqing called out from the door. Actually, he had already seen Feng Jingheng, but out of courtesy, he still had to call out.

"Yes." Feng Jingheng stood up to greet him. "Have you eaten yet? Do you want to have something to eat?"

"Yes, I ate at the village chief's house." Ye Xunqing replied.

Ye Hongxia came out with a bowl in her hand. "What did Big Brother cook this afternoon? It smelled delicious."

They were cousins, but not that close.

She had passed by there before, but his door was closed and not open, so she was too embarrassed to go in.

"My aunt fried some mushroom meat sauce and braised some meat at home. She asked me to bring some over." Ye Xunqing took Ye Xunbai in.

This sentence is full of loopholes. Ye Hongsheng's family and Feng's family are not close, and they are not close to each other. Wang Qiumei would never let him send anything over. Even if she did, she would never let Ye Xunqing come over, because she has children.

After hearing the word "shiitake mushrooms", Feng Jingheng knew what was going on. It turned out that Ye Xunqing asked him to find mushrooms in order to make this.
