"Yes, yes, I'll give you anything Grandpa Sheng doesn't want."
Zhu Qinghao answered very readily. Just kidding, for meat delivered to your door like this, to be even a second slow would be disrespectful.
Sheng Yi showed no surprise. He knew that the entire Zhu family was here, and their demand for meat would certainly be substantial.
"Okay, I'll bring them home for you after dinner. The old man has prepared quite a lot, and I also bought him a lot of pork. I'll leave him one roe deer, and bring you the rest."
"Okay~ I'll make more jerky then, so you can take some with you when you leave."
Zhu Qinghao nodded in agreement, and casually mentioned the dried meat.
The batch of jerky she made before was pure jerky, without any additives. It would probably need to be processed and seasoned before eating, making it more suitable for family members.
Next, she wanted to make something flavorful so that when she got bored, she could take some out and chew on it to pass the time.
After having this idea, she felt that the dried meat she had prepared for Sheng Yi might not be suitable. After all, it would be difficult for him to find a place to cook it once he took it out. It would be better to bring something that he could take out and eat anytime.
Sheng Yi had no idea what kind of dried meat she was talking about, and thought it was a kind of dried meat like cured meat, so he refused without thinking.
"No need, you can keep it for yourselves. There are so many people in our family, we won't have to worry about not being able to finish it all."
However, making it into jerky is indeed a good method; it's easy to store, doesn't spoil easily, and if you have a lot, you might even be able to keep it until summer.
"Yes, that's what I was thinking too, but I'll still prepare the dried meat for you, not the kind you're thinking of, you'll see when the time comes."
Sheng Yi listened quietly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. He didn't want to go against Zhu Qinghao's wishes, but he thought to himself that he would decide later, and whether or not to accept it was up to him.
Sheng Yi stayed for a while before preparing to leave.
Zhu Qinghao was thinking about making dried meat when she saw the person get up to say goodbye and then she came back to her senses.
"Oh? You're leaving? Stay for dinner, then you can go straight there after you eat. That way you won't have to run around so much, and you can go home and rest earlier tonight."
Seeing the sincerity in Zhu Qinghao's eyes, Sheng Yi finally suppressed his reluctance and refused.
We scared them this afternoon, so let them recover a bit.
Zhu Qinghao was somewhat confused. Only after Sheng Yi had walked far away did she sigh and return to the house.
On her way back, she paused for a moment, wondering if she had done something to upset Sheng Yi, which was why he wouldn't even stay for a meal and was in such a hurry to leave.
But she only thought about it for a moment before she went back to thinking about how to make the jerky taste good.
Seeing that it was still early, she simply went to the neighboring yard to find Si Tian. That girl had all sorts of delicious food, so she figured she must have some good jerky too.
As expected, Si Tian did not disappoint her. Upon hearing her question, she immediately took out two or three kinds of dried meat.
After trying them all, Zhu Qinghao found that she seemed to like them all quite a bit, but when asked how they were made, Si Tian stared wide-eyed and shook her head, perfectly demonstrating what it means to be clueless.
The moment Zhu Qinghao received this answer, she immediately deflated.
"Perhaps it's braised first, and then seasoned and dried?"
Si Tian didn't want to see Zhu Qinghao's disappointed expression, so she cautiously probed her guess. Seeing that she didn't understand what braising was, she explained it to her in detail.
Zhu Qinghao didn't quite understand at first, but after hearing Si Tian's description, her eyes lit up, and she felt that the jerky she ate seemed to be made in that way.
"That's good! Maybe that's how it's done, but how do we get the braising liquid? Or where can we get it? Do state-run restaurants sell it?"
