Chapter 71: Eat delicious food and drink spicy food

At noon, Bingyan came to return the bowl. The big bowl of braised food made the children very greedy.

Gao took some of it and sent it to her daughter's family.

When the village divided the wild boars, they naturally didn't want to throw away the offal, so several village elders each claimed one, and the corresponding amount of pork was reduced.

Old man Yang was worried about what to do with the pig intestines he had claimed.

The Su family's braised food is so delicious, with plenty of salt, the flavor of soy sauce, and other spices.

Yang Dalang suddenly realized that Su Ying bought spices and soy sauce for this purpose.

Delicious, delicious! But it's too extravagant! That money could buy 70 or 80 kilograms of stale rice. Just thinking about it makes me sad!

Even the wealthy and powerful people in those days had never tasted such delicious meat, yet they had to eat it in this poor mountain valley. It’s quite funny to think about it.

Looking at the stinky pig intestines at home, which are just cooked in plain water with salt, I really can't eat them.

Old man Yang had no choice but to come and ask for the recipe with a shameless face, actually he wanted the marinade ingredients.

"That one was made by Aying! You have to ask her!" Su Bucheng himself didn't even see how it was made.

"Wait a moment!" Su Ying went into the house and took out a large bamboo tube.

"This is the marinade. Village chief, take it and use it. If the sauce is insufficient, you can add water. If the taste is weak, add a little salt."

Old Man Yang took the large bamboo tube, which was a bit heavy and had a strong aroma of stewed vegetables. "Thank you very much. I will return it to you when I'm done!"

This marinade contains expensive spices, plenty of salt and soy sauce, and is very valuable.

"No rush. If anyone else wants to braise it, just use it. The longer it is braised, the more fragrant it will be!" Su Ying knew that there were still a few families who had the leftovers.

"Really?" Old man Yang didn't expect the marinade to be so magical.

"Of course! Good marinade ingredients will become more and more flavorful if used repeatedly!"

Su Ying once heard a story about a century-old roast chicken restaurant whose marinade had been passed down for several generations.

Unfortunately, the brothers had a conflict and started to separate. They overturned the pot while fighting over the marinade, and the century-old marinade was gone.

"That's great! Thank you, Aying! Let them bring it to my house and braise it together, so as to avoid spilling the marinade." Old Man Yang said happily.

"Village chief, what's in your home?" Su Ying asked.

"Pig intestines!" Old man Yang felt a little embarrassed.

It's really shameful that the once noble family now even eats this.

"Then you have to clean the large intestine, especially the inside, turn it inside out, and clean the oil net..." Su Ying explained the steps of cleaning, blanching, and braising in detail.

"Aying is such a wonderful person! How did you come up with all these?" Old man Yang listened attentively. There are so many details in cooking!

"There's no other way. The sewage has a strong smell, and if we don't do this, the smell can't be suppressed!" Su Ying said with a smile.

Actually, to remove the odor from the pig intestines, you should rub them with flour or vinegar.

But this place is so poor that it is impossible and there are no conditions to build it like this.

"Aying, these are your exclusive secret recipes. You can make money with them in the future, so you shouldn't tell anyone about them!" Old Man Yang said, "Don't mention them to anyone else in the future!"

"It's okay, Village Chief. If you don't tell me, you won't be able to get it later, and won't the marinade be ruined?" Su Ying didn't mind.

"Besides, there are so many different recipes for marinade. If you figure it out yourself, maybe yours will taste even better than mine!"

"Oh! Of course! Hahaha, Aying is still insightful!" Old man Yang thought, of course!

After taking the marinade, Yang Haohan prepared to leave.

Mrs. Du filled the basket with fresh chestnuts, sour dates, and walnuts, "for the children to taste."

"We will pick them up in the mountains tomorrow. Why do you have to blame us for carrying them back with all your effort?" Old man Yang looked at the row of fully loaded backpacks.

"We don't have any snacks at home, so give them to the children to treat them to a savory taste. Your home is your home, and my home is my home. It's a token of my love." Mrs. Du replied.

"Hey, what are you picking these fruits for? Can they be eaten?" Looking at the oil tea fruit, Old Man Yang was puzzled. Could it be that he missed a treasure again?

"This can't be eaten, it's used to make cooking oil!" Su Ying said.

"Cooking oil?" Old man Yang tried hard to recall everything he had learned in his life, but still couldn't figure out what it was.

"Alas, Village Chief, you've eaten it before, but you didn't know what it originally looked like, a tea fruit!"

"Is it this? Is it really tea oil?" The old man Yang's face showed not shock, but pain.

Oh my god, this treasure was right next to me, and I didn't even know it! I wasted so many years!

"Okay, village chief, you guys should bring some back tomorrow. Since we don't have an oil press, we can use a simple method to squeeze the oil first. We can't let it rot in the ground."

"That's right! We can't let it rot in the ground!" Old Man Yang agreed with this and started thinking about selling it.

Mrs. Du went into the house and poured some soy sauce, put it in a bamboo tube and gave it to Old Man Yang.

"Oh, my lady, you can't do this!" Old man Yang quickly declined, as it was such a valuable item.

"Village chief, please accept it! You gave us a whole jar of honey, and this is just a little soy sauce! When your mouth is tasteless, it is also very delicious to taste it."

Mrs. Du advised and put it in the basket without saying anything.

"My lady, this gift is really too heavy..." Old man Yang felt it was too hot.

I came to borrow the marinade, a big bag of wild fruits, and soy sauce. I feel so embarrassed.

"Village chief, please accept it! I'm really sorry for what happened that day and I've been feeling guilty! It's just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it!" Su Bucheng also advised.

"Lord Su, this..."

"Village chief, please stop pushing the issue. Speaking of what happened that day, I have something else to discuss with you." Su Ying was so busy that she almost forgot about it.

"What's the matter, Aying?" asked old man Yang.

"Is there anyone in our village who knows carpentry?" Su Ying smiled.

"Yes, what is Aying going to do?" Old man Yang thought it was a great thing.

Su Bucheng also looked at his daughter. That day, his daughter specifically wanted to take the honey away, saying that it was very useful. What was the use? What did it need to be made of wood?

Everyone stopped talking and looked at Su Ying eagerly, including Su He.

Because this matter was caused by her, the honey she got was intercepted by Su Ying, who was still thinking about the jar of honey.

In ancient times when sweets were rare, sugar was too precious.

Su Ying didn't want to reveal the secret too early, so she waved her hand.

Su Bucheng and Old Man Yang came closer, and Su Ying whispered a few words.

The two of them opened their eyes wide.

"Really?" Old man Yang's voice trembled.

He grabbed Su Ying, then realized that he had lost his composure, quickly let go, and looked at Su Ying intently.

"Of course! To be on the safe side, let's try a few first." Su Ying said seriously.

"If it succeeds, and we develop it on a large scale, and add tea oil, our village will be able to prosper with just these two things."

Su Bucheng didn't say anything. After a brief shock, he was ecstatic.

"Okay, I'll go back and find someone right away! I'll go back and find someone right away! Goodbye!" Old man Yang turned around and left in a hurry, not even taking Hu Zi with him.

"Aunt, wait for me!" Hu Zi, who was having a heated discussion with Su Boyan, said goodbye in a hurry.

Everyone looked at the father and daughter, wanting to know what it was. The father and daughter smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.
