Just now, the soldiers also listened to her advice and placed the grapes in jars one by one.
After everything was arranged, all the grapes were also ready.
There were still some grapes left, which happened to be placed in a few small jars. Shen Ningsi planned to save these for the children to drink.
Just think of it as grape juice.
Therefore, when placing sugar, slightly less is added than in other wine jars.
As they were talking, two villagers came in grunting, carrying two slaughtered suckling pigs.
“Madam Shen, the pig has been killed, where should we put it?”
As soon as they walked into the yard, they smelled the strong aroma of grapes and saw piles of wine jars placed in the corner.
They didn't expect that the grapes, the culprit who had caused the villagers to make trouble in the morning at the cost of offending Shen Ningsi, were actually put into the wine jar.
"Thanks for the hard work, just leave the pig here!"
Shen Ningsi hurried over and motioned for them to put the pig on the rack nearby.
Then he took out more than ten taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it over.
"No, no, no, without you, our Wanning Village wouldn't be where it is today. Besides, you're only paying for a large pig. I don't need that much for these two little pigs. Besides, I didn't bring these two suckling pigs here with the intention of charging you for them!"
"If you don't want to pay, then take these two pigs back."
How could Shen Ningsi accept the pigs they had raised with great difficulty for nothing?
There was a drought a while ago, and many people almost died of thirst. It really took a lot of thought to still be able to raise pigs.
Seeing her determination, the villagers put the silver away and left with gratitude on their faces.
"Mom, what are you going to do with two such small pigs?"
Gu Xiuwu looked surprised.
"Stupid, of course I'm going to make you a roast suckling pig!"
Shen Ningsi did not keep the secret.
"Roast suckling pig?"
Gu Hong just walked over and was very surprised to hear new words from Shen Ningsi again.
However, seeing the confident expression on Shen Ningsi's face, he suddenly became very interested in the roast suckling pig.
"Well, this is a dish I just researched."
Ana Shen spoke lightly.
"General, please help me prepare a grill."
“I wonder what kind of grill you need?”
"It's a little bigger than this suckling pig, and a little wider..."
Shen Ningsi stated the requirements for the grill he needed.
"Build two smaller earthen walls that are a little bigger than this, about this high, and put charcoal fire inside them."
Shen Ningsi made some more requests. After all, there were so many soldiers, and she would not have enough time to roast them one by one.
"Chen Ningsi, do you treat me as a horse or a mule? With so many requirements, why don't you do it yourself?" Gu Hong could no longer hold back his dissatisfaction and blurted it out.
"General Gu, if you don't want to do it, no one is forcing you to do it. There are many uncles and aunts in the village who want to help my mother."
Gu Xiuwu snorted coldly.
"Damn it, when did I ever say I wasn't willing to help her build this tedious grill?"
The veins on Gu Hong's head bulged instantly.
"Then I'll leave this to you. I'll go prepare the seasoning for the roast suckling pig. It's still early, so let these soldiers have a good rest."
Shen Ningsi was in a very good mood today, so she didn't want to argue with Gu Hong.
"Damn it, you all heard what she just said, right? Hurry up and prepare all those things for me!"
Gu Hong didn't dare to vent his anger on Shen Ningsi, so he could only glare fiercely at the soldiers who were watching the fun.
Gu Xiuwen and Gu Xiuwu were not idle, but went to the kitchen to help Shen Ningsi.
What she is going to make today is crispy roast suckling pig.
As you can imagine, the characteristics of crispy roast suckling pig are rosy color, crispy skin and fragrant meat, it melts in the mouth, the fat is not greasy, the lean meat is not dry, and it is delicious.
Ana Shen went to the kitchen to prepare some ingredients first.
Add some salt, pour some sauce, sprinkle with sugar, five-spice powder, chopped green onion, minced garlic, and sesame paste.
He also took out the little honey left in the house.
First, fry the five-spice powder, mix it with salt, and evenly apply it to the abdominal cavity of the braised pig. After marinating for a while, apply sugar, sesame paste, minced garlic and chopped green onions.
Use a long fork to pierce the seasoned suckling pig through its hind legs, then scald the skin with hot water and let it dry.
After drying, apply honey.
After doing all this, Sanyazi had already made the oven she wanted. Because the fire was burning all the time, the mud had dried up by now.
Roasting suckling pig is usually done over low heat first and then high heat, which makes the suckling pig crispy, tender and delicious.
When San Ya Zi was being made, many soldiers were watching from the side.
After all, anything produced by the county lord must be of the highest quality!
At this moment, Tang Qi and Gu Hong carried out the suckling pig and put it on the grill.
"General Gu, here are two suckling pigs. Let's roast one each! Just follow my instructions!"
Gu Hong's anger had just subsided, and he was about to speak when Sanyazi grabbed him.
"General, the lady asked you to roast the suckling pig with her. This shows that she trusts you. This is why she wants you two to act like a loving couple in front of these soldiers."
"Yeah?"
The anger in Gu Hong's heart was suppressed in an instant.
"Yes!" Sanyazi patted his chest and said with certainty.
“Zizizizi…”
After a while, the suckling pig on the grill began to sizzle.
Shen Ningsi was flipping through the pages slowly, and Gu Hong followed suit.
After a while, a strong fragrance wafted out. Not only the soldiers, but even Gu Hong couldn't help but sniff.
He didn't expect that the roasted suckling pig would taste so tempting.
Even the impatient Ermao was sitting not far away, watching Shen Ningsi slowly turning the pages without blinking.
Just when everyone was about to swallow their tongues due to the aroma filling the yard, Shen Ningsi finally stopped turning the braised pig in his hand.
"Xiu Wen, bring a dagger and a plate over here. I'll divide the pork among them."
Shen Ningsi's words were gospel in the eyes of many soldiers!
If Gu Hong hadn't been sitting there staring at them coldly, they might have rushed over right now.
After a while, Shen Ningsi had distributed all the meat to the soldiers, especially the suckling pig she roasted, which was obviously much more popular than the one roasted by Gu Hong!
Gu Xiuwu, Gu Xiuwen and Gu Yuner were also happily eating.
They felt that their mother was truly a treasure, and there was almost nothing in this world that she didn't know!
"Madam, it's a shame not to open a big restaurant with your skills!"
After finishing his meal, Sanyazi couldn't help smacking his lips, with an expression of wanting more.
If Gu Hong hadn't been here to hold the fort, all the food would have been snatched away by them long ago!
"San Yazi, are you full? Why don't you run around Wanning Village a dozen or so times to help digest your meal?"
Gu Hong spoke coldly.
"No, General, I already know I was wrong!"
Sanyazi immediately showed an expression of grief on his face!
He was just praising his wife's cooking skills, so why was the general so angry?
