Chapter 519 Making Cured Meat
Since the hot pot restaurant opened, countless diners have flocked here every day just to taste this unique delicacy.
Especially in the cold winter, the warm feeling after eating hot pot is intoxicating and is deeply loved by everyone.
Therefore, waiting in line for a seat has become a common sight. Many people would even ask for help from others to get a seat in order to have a chance to experience the store.
Therefore, both the dignitaries and the common people in the capital admired Princess Anping even more.
Zheng Sisi didn't care about all these things, nor did she care about other people's opinions of her. On the third day after the hot pot restaurant opened, she took people to Zhuangzi in Qingshui County again.
I was supposed to come after the winter solstice, but something happened and I couldn't leave. I also wanted to arrange it in the capital, but the venue was not suitable, so I had to go to Qingshui County again.
Since Duke Zheng had resumed attending the morning court, he was unable to come; and Madam Zheng was busy preparing for her second grandson's wedding and was also unable to attend.
Although Mrs. Zheng was very unhappy about this, she reluctantly accepted the fact. After all, her grandson's wedding was of great importance.
However, this time Zheng Laosi and his eldest cousin came here together, claiming that they wanted to learn, especially the method of building an earthen kang.
Zheng Laosi was one generation older, but in this group of people, the age difference was not that big. So when everyone got together, they were no longer bound by seniority, and the atmosphere was very relaxed and happy.
Compared with previous trips, this one was much simpler. They did not have a long caravan of luggage like in the past, like a huge caravan.
This time, they only needed to bring enough clothes and no more extra items. Only Zhong Ruiyu remembered to bring gifts for the children in the village, and specially prepared two carriages full of gifts for this purpose.
They traveled at lightning speed and finally arrived at Qingshui County. It was not yet noon, and considering the experience of waiting for a seat in the county last time, they went directly to Zhuangzi this time to avoid similar troubles again.
Zheng Sisi looked at the farm in front of her with great expectations. This time she brought more methods of making food, hoping to complete the task faster. She walked into the farm and saw the villagers working busy in the fields with smiles on their faces.
Seeing the princess coming, Chen Zhuangtou was very happy. He hurried to the village to find the aunts to help with cooking. After arranging other matters, he immediately came to report to the princess with the account book.
He was extremely excited, mainly because the business on the farm had been unusually prosperous recently, and he was eager to let the princess know about this as soon as possible.
However, Zheng Sisi felt that he was too proactive and somewhat helpless. She did not even give him a chance to report his work, but took the lead in making arrangements.
This time, she plans to make cured meats in this season, such as bacon, sausage, chicken, duck and fish, as well as Laba beans, fermented bean curd and other foods.
Because the climatic conditions are suitable at this time of year, these foods can be stored for a long time without easily spoiling.
Zheng Sisi asked first: "Chen Zhuangtou, don't rush to look at the account book. I have a tight schedule this time, so I need to arrange some things first. May I ask if the pigs in the pig farm are ready to be slaughtered?"
Chen Zhuangtou nodded quickly and replied: "The first batch of pigs are ready to be slaughtered. Princess, what are your plans?"
"I'm not selling them. I plan to use them to make wax products. Now is the best time. The wax products can be stored for a longer time and are not easy to spoil. Last time I asked you to build a small house. It should have been completed, right?"
Chen Zhuangtou nodded slightly and said, "It was completed not long after you left, but the house has many holes in the wall and is really uninhabitable. We really don't know what its purpose is."
Zheng Sisi smiled and nodded gently, saying, "It would be great if it could be built. It will be useful soon! How about this, you go to the nearby village and find two experienced pig butchers. We will slaughter pigs tomorrow.
In addition, remember to inform the villagers that our village is in urgent need of firewood. If they have nothing to do, they can go and cut some and send it to us."
Chen Zhuangtou then handed several account books he had with him to Zheng Sisi, turned around and left, went to convey the message to the villagers, and began to arrange people to find a butcher.
Zheng Sisi looked at the several thick account books in front of her and felt a headache coming over her.
"Why is there so much work? You want to tire me to death!"
At this time, everyone saw that Zheng Sisi had completed the work arrangements and walked into the house.
