Chapter 82 Honey-Juiced Pork Jerky [Second Update]
Tu Rongrong took out the wooden bed she had made in the past few days. It was a small bed about one meter and two meters long and less than one meter wide, with a fence around it.
Tu Rongrong laid a bamboo mat inside. The bamboo mat was also made from bamboo she had cut in the bamboo forest recently. It was just right for sleeping in the coolness during the summer.
Tu Rongrong can't always let her sister sleep in a hammock, right? She can also sleep in a small bed like this during nap time, as the ventilation around her is relatively cool.
There was a bamboo mat in the small bed and a soft little pillow. Tu Rongrong put her sister in it and covered her with a thin quilt to prevent her stomach from getting cold due to the wind.
As for insects, Tu Rongrong always applies the mosquito repellent bags she made herself on Yuanyuan's body, so there is no need to worry about her being bitten by insects.
After Tu Rongrong put her sister down and covered her with a quilt, she did not leave immediately. She still stayed by the bed and patted her to make her sleep more peacefully.
"I wasn't so careful before, but today I actually had the patience to coax her." Tu Rongrong patted her sister to comfort her while whispering to Tu Che.
Tu Che also smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. As long as you treat Yuanyuan well, she will be happy, no matter when."
Tu Rongrong also laughed. After a few minutes, seeing her sister sleeping more soundly, Tu Rongrong prepared to make some honey-glazed meat jerky.
"Is the pork we bought today still available?" Tu Rongrong stood up and asked Tu Che after putting down the small mosquito net.
The meat she bought today wasn't just ribs. She also bought a lot of lean meat, so she planned to make honey-glazed pork jerky.
Since it is going to be made for sale, it is definitely impossible to make a small amount, so Tu Rongrong felt that the capybara pork he bought before was not enough, so he bought some more.
One pound of lean meat cannot make one pound of honey-glazed pork jerky, so Tu Rongrong plans to prepare more so that his products will not be sold out too quickly when they are put on the shelves.
Tu Rongrong took out all the pork and cut the meat from the leaner parts. As for the pork they had just bought, it was lean meat anyway, so there was no need to separate it.
Prepare lean pork from a good breed, about 80% lean meat and 90% lean meat, and mince it into minced meat. Mix the two kinds of minced meat together and continue to mince them into very fine minced meat or minced meat.
Of course, Tu Rongrong was lazy. She didn't care about the difference in taste between the minced meat by hand and the minced meat by machine. She just put all the pork into the meat grinder and mixed it.
"Uncle Che, if we plan to make more honey-glazed pork jerky to sell in the future, we will need a bigger meat grinder. Why don't you find a reliable store and place an order with them to make it?" Tu Rongrong said to Tu Che while putting the pork into the meat grinder.
The current meat grinder is a simplified version modified by Tu Che, and it is really very simple. Although Tu Rongrong finds it convenient to use, she is still a little greedy. If she needs to sell a large amount of honey-glazed pork jerky in the future, she will have to get the tools and other things to keep up.
"I've already placed the order." Tu Che smiled and said, "I also know that you are planning to open a store to sell this honey-glazed pork jerky, so I placed the order and asked the store to make it quickly."
"In addition to the large meat grinder, I have also placed an order for a large oven."
Tu Rongrong smiled after hearing what Tu Che said, "Uncle Che, you are really great. With you around, I have fewer problems to worry about."
Tu Che smiled without saying anything and continued to help Tu Rongrong cut the lean meat into sizes that could be easily put into the meat grinder.
The meat grinder quickly grinds the lean meat that Tu Rongrong put in into minced meat. Tu Rongrong takes the minced meat out of the outlet of the meat grinder and puts it into a bowl. He adds cooking wine, salt, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and fish sauce, and stirs it in one direction with chopsticks. When it is almost gelatinous, he covers the lid and marinates it for about an hour.
Spread a layer of tin foil, brush a thin layer of oil on the surface of the tin foil, then place the minced meat on it and spread it evenly, cover it with another layer of tin foil and roll the meat into thin slices with a rolling pin.
Remove the tin foil from the meat and place it on a baking tray. Preheat the oven and bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 8 minutes. When the meat shrinks significantly, drain the water from the baking tray, brush a layer of honey on the meat, sprinkle with some white sesame seeds, and bake in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius for another 15 minutes.
When the time is up, take out the jerky, turn it over, brush it with a layer of honey and sprinkle with an appropriate amount of white sesame seeds, then put it in the oven again and bake for 5-8 minutes. Finally, take out the jerky and cut it into slices.
Tu Rongrong thought the first batch of honey-glazed pork jerky she made seemed good. She took a piece and tasted it. It was not very dry or hard, but very chewy and delicious.
"Capybara meat is really good, and the honey-glazed jerky made from it is also delicious." Tu Rongrong said as she ate, "Uncle Che, you should try it too. How should we sell it?"
"Is a piece of honey-glazed pork jerky this big?" Tu Che looked at the honey-glazed pork jerky that was three fingers wide and one finger long, and asked, "A piece of honey-glazed pork jerky this big doesn't seem to weigh much. Do we sell it by weight or by quantity?"
Tu Rongrong looked at the cut meat and thought for a moment before saying, "What do you think?"
"I think we should sell it according to quantity. Five pieces of jerky for one portion, and we'll sell it for 5,000 credit coins?" Tu Che looked at Tu Rongrong hesitantly.
Tu Rongrong: “…”
"...Uncle Che, don't you think it's a bit expensive?" Tu Rongrong looked at the size and weight of the honey-juiced meat jerky hesitantly. She felt uneasy about selling five pieces for 5,000 credit coins.
Tu Che looked at Tu Rongrong with amusement and said, "This is the price for something you made yourself. As for something we made with a machine, it's 500 credits per piece."
Tu Rongrong thought about it and felt that it was not that difficult to accept. After all, there is indeed a difference between handmade and machine-made ones, right?
"We should buy a few more construction robots to build a factory. In the future, we can let the factory make honey-glazed meat jerky, and you won't have to do it every day." Tu Che also knew that Tu Rongrong was lazy and didn't like to repeat the same thing every day.
It’s impossible for her to cook every meal every day. We had agreed to live broadcast three meals a day, but now she has forgotten everything.
Fortunately, when she signed the contract with the live streaming platform, the terms did not specify that she had to live stream three meals a day. Otherwise, given her lazy attitude, the tips from the audience would not be enough for her to pay the penalty.
The dishes she cooks during each live broadcast are never repeated because she doesn’t like to do the same thing all the time.
How could such a lazy woman keep making honey-glazed pork jerky just to open a shop? She must have built a factory and let the machines do it.
After listening to Tu Che's words, Tu Rongrong thought about it and felt that it was feasible. "Then Uncle Che, you should buy it. It's best to build the factory quickly and prepare the machines in the factory."
Tu Che nodded and said, "I will place an order for construction robots and construction materials right away. I will also place an order directly with them for the machines our factory needs."
Building a factory is of course different from building a house to live in, so Tu Che directly purchased the building materials. He didn't need to worry about bricks and tiles, and could just use interstellar building materials to build it.
Tu Rongrong didn't care about these things. After all, it was a factory, not where she lived, so it wasn't that strict.
