The relationship between the mistresses and servants of the Liu family was very harmonious. In the past few days, the Zhao family, old and young, while strictly abiding by their duties as servants, had also developed a sense of closeness to the Liu family.

Therefore, Chen Shi looked at Lin Xiaozhi with respect and love.

When Lin Xiaoyue saw this scene, she had no intention of stopping it.

She was a soul from the 21st century and had received higher education. She did not care about hierarchy.

“Since you want to do it, then make more. It isn’t enough to prepare Qing’er’s portion, but make some for Da Bao as well. Oh, and Huaiyu and others in Qing’er’s dormitory.”

When she heard that her grandson also get some, Chen Shi’s face was filled with joy.

“Thank you, Miss!” Sje hurriedly bowed to Lin Xiaoyue.

Lin Xiaoyue waved her hand.

“Mix some meat and vegetables. Put each in a food box. Remember to ask Shanshan to pack them for Xiaozhi tomorrow morning.”

“Yes!”

Lin Xiaoyue looked at Zhao Shanshan.

“Put the food box in the eatery.”

Then, she looked at Lin Xiaozhi.

“Ask Da Bao to go to the eatery to get their food boxes. As for yours, go to the eatery to have them tomorrow.”

Lin Xiaozhi’s face was filled with joy.

“Okay!” He even politely bowed to Lin Xiaoyue.

Everyone was amused.

The next day.

Just after seven in the morning, the ox-cart that delivered the meat came to the Liu family.

The person who delivered the meat was not Butcher Zhang, but Butcher Zhang’s eldest son.

However, before he left, Butcher Zhang had already told him about it, so after he arrived at the Liu family, he went straight to Zhao Fu.

Zhao Fu had heard Lin Xiaoyue mention this yesterday, so he quickly checked the weight and price of the pork.

After that, he gave the money and the basket Lin Xiaoyue borrowed yesterday to Butcher Zhang’s son.

Then, not long after, Lin Xiaoyue received the pork.

Feeling happy, Lin Xiaoyue, her mother, Chen Shi and Ma Shi started making bacon and sausages.

The three of them soon realized that the way Lin Xiaoyue made bacon was very different from the way they did it.

The way they did it was to rub salt on the meat and hang it on the beam of the kitchen. After that, there was nothing else.

However, Lin Xiaoyue’s method of cooking bacon was much more complicated.

As the first step, Lin Xiaoyue asked them to heat up the pot. Then, she placed the pig skin into the pot and scalded it.

The second step was to use a knife to scrape the pig skin, then wash the pork, and clean all the pieces of meat.

The third step was to marinate the cured meat.

In addition to salt, wine and soy sauce had to be added. Each side needed to be coated evenly.

According to Lin Xiaoyue, the wine could be used to remove the fishy smell, while the soy sauce was used to color.

Lin Xiaoyue said that the process would last for about seven days.

Moreover, they had to flip it up and down once a day to ensure that the taste was more uniform.

Then, after the marinating was done, they could hang it up.

However, they should not hang it in the kitchen. Instead, they should hang it outside to get rid of the moisture on the surface of the bacon.

Next, they had to roast meat.

Move all the cured meat to a relatively closed space and hang it up. Then, use cypress leaves, pomelo peels, orange peels, and wood chips to smoke it.

Furthermore, they had to maintain the slow fire state for fifteen days.

Lin Xiaoyue said that the cured meat made in this way was the best.

Moreover, it was easy to store and would last long.

Although Liu Shi and the other two felt that it was troublesome, they still decided to do as Lin Xiaoyue said.

The few of them worked together, and with Lin Xiaoyue’s guidance, everyone did not feel that it was complicated or tiring.

In the end, before the meat was done marinating, the Zhou Shi arrived.

After Zhou Shi entered, she called out to Lin Xiaoyue and Liu Shi.

After getting a response, she went straight to the kitchen.

Seeing that the few of them were busy marinating the meat, she rolled up her sleeves and joined them.

After hearing Lin Xiaoyue’s novel method of making cured meat, Zhou Shi was very surprised.

“With your method, 1 can tell that the cured meat you make is more delicious than ordinary ones.”

“I didn’t see how you guys did it, so I didn’t dare to do it myself. I might as well be thick-skinned and ask you for some!”

“If this bacon is done well, give me two…oh no, five pieces! Deal?” Zhou Shi smiled sweetly at them..
