Chapter 319 Nine Dou Bowls

Now this little magistrate is standing in front of him: "It's finally here. This time I don't have to be a father and a mother. Come to Zhangzhi County and Wangzhi County. It's been a hard journey. I'd like to toast you two."

The two county magistrates did not dare to neglect at all: "It is the duty of a lower official to respect the prefect. Along the way, the prefect's behavior has become a legend. After thinking about it, we still don't understand how the prefect did it at that time."

Su You smiled and said: "It's very simple. Comparing one's heart with one's heart, barbarians and Han people are the same. If you are on the right path, you will get many help, but if you are on the wrong path, you will get little help."

"After getting along for a long time, you will find that the Yi people have many very good qualities."

"With abundant warehouses, the Yi people can learn etiquette and observe etiquette; if they lose hope, the Han people will also turn into yellow turbans and green forests."

The two magistrates pretended to be stable, and regardless of whether they agreed in their hearts or not, they accepted the advice on the surface.

The end of the year is very busy. In addition to distributing subsidies to government members, Su You also has to go to Futian Yuan to visit the orphaned elderly and bereaved children to ask for their welfare;

We also need to go to the new business district to visit merchants who are stranded due to business, ask them what they need, and express our concern;

I also want to reward the elders in the village and prepare for next year's spring plowing...

All in all, it was very busy.

After being busy until New Year's Eve, Su You had time to close the yamen and spend the day having fun with everyone close to him.

Su You's fun is, of course, making delicious food. With him around, the New Year's Eve dinner won't be casual.

The reason why the yamen was closed was because he wanted to go to work in person. This matter was known by the idle censor. It is entirely possible that the impeachment chapter said that the governor of Kuizhou had lost his official status.

Adun Chihuo and Guo Long have returned to Erlin Department and Jiangyang City.

Qidi Longshan and Tian Shouzhong are not in the Yamen now. As Su You requested, the general will always spend the festival with his soldiers.

But I agreed to give them extra food. Qidi Longshan likes to eat big elbows, and Tian Shouzhong likes to cook them white. I will send them to them later.

The school has also dismissed. A'tun Yuanzhen doesn't know how to cook, but now he is sitting in the courtyard and reading "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" steadily. The people in the courtyard are so busy that he is like a state magistrate.

It was impossible to give up making pig soup, so Su You also bought a local pig weighing about 100 kilograms.

It would be outrageous to smoke meat in the central government office of the state capital, and the patrolmen would probably rush at them with mats, axes, saws, ladders, and fire forks. Su You had no choice but to give up making bacon sausages and switch to making bacon sausages.

Jar meat and sauce meat.

Mix the trimmed pork with salt and spices in proportion and evenly place the mixed pork in a clean container to marinate for a day and night;

The next day, rinse the marinated pork with clean water to remove all attachments on the surface of the meat, cut into pork pieces of about half a pound, drain and set aside;

Next, boil the lard, then cut the cleaned lard into strips, put it in a pot and add water to heat it for refining. When the lard separates out, the color of the oil is clear, and it floats to yellow after frying, remove the oil residue;

While the lard is hot, add the drained pork pieces and fry over high heat. After the surface of the pork turns light yellow, switch to low heat and fry slowly until the surface of the pork turns golden brown and has a rich fried meat flavor.

After aroma, cease fire;

Use an alcohol blowtorch to burn the inside of the clay pot. After sterilization, use the tools that have been sterilized when frying the meat to scoop the meat into the clay pot.

Quickly pour the lard into the clay pot until the meat is submerged, then seal the pot with a lid.

Place the sauced meat in a cool place, separated from the ground by a wall, and store it at room temperature. It will be ready to eat in one month.

Like bacon sausage, jar meat can be eaten for a year, and like bacon, it is cooked at the end of the year and has the best flavor when the last bit is left during the Mid-Autumn Festival of the next year.

The taste is similar to that of bacon, but it is lighter than bacon and not as spicy as bacon. It melts in the mouth and is fragrant and waxy.

There is also a part that can be brushed with sauce and hung up. Then brush it once a day, stop after seven days, and hang it on the stove. It can also be eaten for a year.

The trimmed parts were changed into strips of meat and dumplings along with other miscellaneous meat such as blood neck and belly.

Wrap these things in flour, and now the Zhizhou, who is the most unlike Zhizhou in the Song Dynasty, is wearing an apron and rolling up his sleeves, frying meatballs, crispy meat, and small fish beside the oil pan.

After all this was done, Su You took a look at the attic. He took a small plate and put a few things in it. Then he made a plate with peppercorns, dogwood and fine salt, and put it on the small table in the attic: "Also

Not showing up? You really have to suffer to save face, you are almost crying, aren’t you? Eat some cushion first."

After standing for a while, there was no response from the room. Su You sighed and went downstairs.

As early as when Su You wrote the letter asking for help, Meishan Big Iron Pot, Su You had given numerous instructions to bring it over as soon as possible.

The broth has already been prepared in the big pottery vat, and the next step is to steam various kinds of dishes and steam them in large bowls.

Salty roasted white, one basin;

Pork with sand, one pot;

Place crispy meatballs on the bottom, place dried yellow mushrooms on top, and a pot;

Place chicken nuggets on the bottom, lay ham and ginger slices in a basin;

Place the duck pieces on the bottom, place a pot of pickled radish;

A bowl of delicious elbows;

Mix spicy rice oil, bean paste, rice flour, sugar, and salt into powder, wrap it in the ribs and lay it on the bottom, add pumpkin, and put it into a bowl;

Wrap the pork belly, add soaked dried peas, and a bowl.

Wrap with fat sausage, add taro, and serve in a pot.

Except for the steamed vegetables with rice noodles and the sweet and salty braised vegetables, pour the stock on all the other vegetables, put them in the pot together, and steam them!

The remaining rice intestines, pork liver, pork lungs, and pork belly were cut into pieces to make shaved pork soup.

Most of them are kept together with pig heads, tongues, kidneys and lean meat for stir-fries and cold dishes, and are eaten for two or three days.

When the steamed vegetables are out of the pot, stir them as much as you need to, add stir-fried liver and kidneys, shredded celery and pork, stir-fried vegetables, crispy peanuts, cold lettuce and folded ear roots, and a banquet with nine buckets of bowls is ready.

.

It was a lively cooking, and even a few people couldn't eat so much. However, the food at the military camp was probably not enough to fit between teeth, so I left enough for myself and sent the rest over there.

Of course, Su You didn't forget to pick some and send them to the attic.

When Zhang San and Liu Si came back, they had a basket in their hands: "They are making dumplings and steaming buns over there. This is what Qidi asked me to send over."

Su You took out a bottle of Kuizhou rice wine and said, "Let's set off firecrackers to worship ancestors and gods, and we can eat too!"

At the wine table, Su You poured wine for everyone: "This year has not been easy, but I finally got through it. Without the help of my brothers and sisters, Su You would have finished this place. Everyone drank this cup.

Bar."

Everyone drank, Su You smiled and said: "Move your chopsticks, use your chopsticks."

Atun Yuanzhen said: "I've been waiting for this for a long time!"

Su You said: "Yuanzhen, next the government will conduct a census of the land and population in Kuizhou, and the registration will be done. The Yi people's area on the mountain will be left to you, how about it?"

Atun Yuanzhen said: "Give me a measurement team to do it properly for you!"

Su You added: "Several brothers, the local registered population of Kuizhou, I will hand it over to the two new county magistrates. After the local people have demarcated the land, the new fields opened will be used as official fields to attract surrounding areas.

The familiar people, the refugees in the Yuxia Gorge, are engaged in farming. I will leave this matter to Brother Xiaoqi."

Zhang Qi was chewing a meatball in his mouth and just nodded.

"Merchant statistics, ship incoming and outgoing, capital transactions, total merchandise trade volume, warehousing inventory, Brother Zaowa has always been our accountant, and he is very experienced in doing this."

Zhang Zao patted his chest: "Leave it to me, and I will prepare the moving average price chart for you!"

"Third brother, there is no need to say more. The Kuizhou-type ship is under construction. Fourth brother is responsible for road maintenance, new road construction, Kuizhou City, and the dock. Concrete roads need to be laid, otherwise the current horse-drawn carriages cannot be carried."

Zhang San and Zhang Qi both said there was no problem.

Su You raised the cup again: "Then I wish everyone a happy new year! We will continue next year."

Adun Yuanzhen asked: "Mingrun, what will you do next year?"

Su You said: "The Song Dynasty was based on agriculture. Next year I will take charge of farming. The "Southwestern Agricultural Book" has been compiled for eight years, and it is time to put it out for use."

"The local ramie industry is uniquely endowed, and citrus cultivation is also quite advantageous. It is also assisted by the shipbuilding industry, gold, silver, cinnabar, and salt industries. Coupled with the status of a major port as a shipping node, it has to become a state in the Song Dynasty!"
