In the book, the female supporting role dreams of being an idle fish

"I've eaten bacon before. It was sent back by my brother, about two kilograms." Jiang Wen's long-lost memories suddenly surfaced before his eyes.

Gu Lixia didn't say anything, but gestured for him to eat quickly.

Bacon is a kind of cured meat. Since it is usually cured in the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, it is called "bacon".

The smoked bacon is consistent inside and out. When cooked and cut into slices, it is transparent and shiny, with a bright color, yellow with a hint of red. It tastes mellow, not greasy, and not lean enough to get stuck in your teeth. It not only has a unique flavor, but also has the functions of stimulating appetite, removing cold, and helping digestion.

Bacon retains the characteristics of excellent color, fragrance, taste and shape, and is praised as "one family cooks meat and a hundred families enjoy the fragrance".

Gu Lixia had eaten it but had never cooked it.

Finish your meal quickly.

There's a little meat left.

Only the fried leeks and dried tofu were finished.

Jiang Wen cleaned the kitchen.

Gu Lixia went upstairs to get the cooking recipe, then came down and opened the page on how to make bacon.

Point it out to Jiang Wen.

"There are books like this that teach how to cook." Jiang Wen was amazed.

My eyes involuntarily looked over there.

Cut the pork belly into strips and marinate. Cut the pork belly into strips 30 cm long and 3-5 cm wide. Poke small holes with a bamboo skewer and rub it with parched Sichuan peppercorns and salt. Place the strips in a porcelain bowl, skin side down and meat side up, layer by layer, weighing down the top layer with a heavy object. Turn the strips every two days. After marinating for 10 days, turn them daily. Marinate for another 4-5 days. Remove the strips, string them together with a string, and hang them in a well-ventilated place to air dry until they are half dry.

Smoking: Put sawdust in a large iron pot, put an iron grate on it, place the dried meat on it, cover the pot, and then light the fire.

When the sawdust starts to smoke due to the heat, stop the fire. The meat will turn yellow and the moisture will be dried.

Steaming and slicing: Soak the prepared bacon in warm water until softened. Scrape off any yellowing and brush off any dust. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and place in a container. Steam the bacon in the upper steamer over high heat with boiling water for about 1 hour. Let cool in the lower steamer, slice, and serve.

Gu Lixia lost interest and thought it would be better to let the system buy the prepared bacon directly.

But if I were to make it in winter, I would definitely have to learn how to do it myself, and I didn’t want to spoil Jiang Wen’s interest.

The existing pork belly is not enough.

Gu Lixia thought about it and felt that food was the most important thing, and Jiang Wen himself was quite active.

The places Jiang Wen went to most often in the space were the fields and the library.

There is a real shortage of meat during this period.

The same goes for buying chickens.

It's been October.

Only old hens that don't lay eggs are willing to be sold.

Two pounds of pork per month.

It's really not enough.

The problem is that you can’t kill as many pigs as you want in a day, but you have to buy one grocery store a day.

Only one available.

It seems that Jiang Huainan needs to be trained.

Let's go to the grocery store every morning to see what's available.

The problem is that such a young child needs to sleep in the morning.

Only adequate sleep can promote growth.

However, the Jiang family really needs additional nutrition.

Gu Lixia was in a dilemma.

Jiang Wen has already started researching how to make bacon.

Gu Lixia watched while eating an apple.

Jiang Wen cut up all 10 pounds of pork belly.

Start preparing the seasoning water.

Gu Lixia turned around and went upstairs.

Jiang Wen did the pickling steps.

Just went upstairs to study.

Gu Lixia had nothing to do, so she exchanged all kinds of gossip with the system.

Only sleep when you are sleepy.

It was Gu Lixia who was awakened by the original owner's own biological clock.

Run.

The first floor is simply flushed.

Breakfast was too greasy last night.

Cook porridge and heat steamed buns.

Heat up the leftover meat dish from last night.

Let the system's steward Zhang wake up Jiang Wen.

Gu Lixia went straight up the stairs and into the bedroom.

Change clothes.

When Jiang Wen came down to eat, he was woken up by the system pretending to be a housekeeper. He was still a little uncomfortable.

"Why didn't you call me today? I'm a little uncomfortable." Jiang Wen saw that Gu Lixia's first sentence was to ask a question, with a little confusion after waking up.

"It's a little late. Eat quickly. Let Xiu'er or Huainan bring a bowl of tofu. 2 kilograms. Today is the first day of school." Gu Lixia answered while drinking porridge.

Jiang Wen didn't ask what he was doing, he just nodded and went in to drink his porridge.

Eat vegetables.

Ever since I started cooking in my space.

Jiang Wen no longer felt the pain of hunger.

After eating, put the dishes in the dishwasher.

Jiang Wen washed the pot.

Jiang Wen knocked on Jiang Xiu's door as soon as he left the space.

Gu Lixia brought water and cleaned her room.

"Second brother, why did you call me so early? Have you finished fetching water?" Jiang Xiu thought Jiang Wen had finished fetching water and his sister-in-law didn't want to cook.

Need to cook for myself.

"Comb your hair. Then bring back two pounds of tofu in a basin. Your sister-in-law said she didn't know what to cook. She didn't explain it clearly. Anyway, she just said that today is the first day of school and we should have a good meal." Jiang Wen said and left.

Jiang Xiu was completely awake.

Okay, let’s go.

Seeing that the door to Gu Lixia and Jiang Wen's room was open, he leaned against the door and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you want the tofu to be tender or tough? My brother asked what dish you want to cook."

"That's not a big deal. Anything is fine. Old ones are best. I want to fry them." Gu Lixia said as she wiped the table.

Jiang Xiu got the result, went back, combed her hair, took the basin, took the money and the notebook of corrosive substances and left.

Leave the family compound and walk towards the school.

The grocery store is just over 200 meters away.

There were three long queues in the morning.

Jiang Xiuzhi is selling vegetables on the far left.

Here comes the pork.

There are no other dried goods from the countryside. If there is no one in line, it means there is nothing.

Tofu is on the far right.

Jiang Xiu roughly counted and found that there were about 40 people in front.

It’s definitely not my turn to get the first piece of tofu.

But the second one should be fine.

Four flights a day.

Come here, when Jiang Xiu came in, the second one had already been sold half.

When it was Jiang Xiu's turn, she asked, "I want the old tofu on the side."

A middle-aged woman who works at a grocery store.

He directly lifted up the third rack of tofu cloth.

He took a knife and cut a piece and put it in the basin that Jiang Xiu handed over.

Weigh directly on the scale.

Nine pounds, and I added another piece, just right.

Jiang Xiu handed over her family's food book.

The staff member wrote on it September 9st and 2 kilograms of tofu.

Jiang Xiu took the tofu bowl and the food book and quickly walked home.

Gu Lixia finished cleaning up.

Go out and pour water and wash the mop.

Hang the mop to drain.

Go into the kitchen and get a funnel. Fill the kitchen sink with water first.

Come out to the yard and climb onto the top of the gate to help store water.

When Jiang Xiu came back, the water tank was not full yet.

Gu Lixia filled the tank with water and climbed down the ladder directly.

Take the funnel into the kitchen.

Jiang Xiu has already started the fire.

Gu Lixia poured oil directly into the front pot. "Xiu'er, I'm going to make some sweet and sour crispy tofu. Want to learn?"

Jiang Xiu was naturally willing to learn.

Nod directly.

Gu Lixia took action directly.

Cut the firm tofu into small pieces.
