Traveling Through Land Reclamation: Farmers' Women Can't Be Dizzled

Chapter 138 Making Flesh Abon

  Xiao Yilin saw the little girl fall asleep and walked into the forest. He found that the nearby forest was clearly longer and more fertile than anywhere else. He remembered that it wasn't like this at noon yesterday. It seemed to grow like this last night. 

  Xiao Yilin was secretly surprised, what strength made the trees and weeds grow so much? This is too surprising. 

  Xiao Yilin thought of the little girl who had left for so long yesterday, what did she do for so long? It is never as simple as comfort. 

  It seems that the little girl still has a lot of secrets. 

  In the afternoon, after Jing Yi woke up, she noticed that the lightly injured horse was much better, and they could follow them, as long as there was no one inside. 

  He went to see the badly injured horses again, and they were much better, he gave them medicine again, and secretly used supernatural powers to heal the horses. 

  These dozen horses were all fat and strong, good horses of good race, and all of them could be used as war horses. It would be a pity if I didn't bring it. 

  Horses that could be used as war horses in ancient times were very strict, and cavalry was also the fastest unit in antiquity. If the infantry met the cavalry, it was possible to deliver food. The cavalry specialized in defeating the infantry. 

  So which army has more cavalry, the stronger it is. 

  By day, the soldiers had dealt with dozens of dead horses, and Jing Yi directed everyone to make boiled pork, dried meat, and dried meat shreds. 

  There was plenty of firewood, enough for them to use during these two days. 

  Everyone did not eat enough boiled meat, so Jing Yi made another meal of boiled horse meat for everyone to eat enough. The rest is to start making dried meat and shredded meat. 

  Dry meat is easy to handle, just dry it slowly with a charcoal fire, or use a pan to dry it a little. 

  Before the meat was roasted, Jing Yi marinated the meat and added a little chili. The dried meat tested in this way has a salty and spicy taste, is very delicious to eat, and I want to eat it even after eating it.

  Sun Xing said as he ate: "It's very tasty. It would be nice to take this as a military ration. " 

  In addition to dried meat, Jing Yi also tried to make meat shreds. Boil the horse meat first until tender, then tear the pieces of horse meat into finely chopped pieces of meat. Horse meat fiber is thicker than other animals, so it is easier to shred. 

  The next step is to pour these chopped pieces of meat into a large pot and saute with a small flame to slowly evaporate the water. Grind the ground meat with a spatula while frying. 

  Gradually, the flesh fiber became expanded little by little. If the water on the fried meat is very little, and looks dry and loose, then the meat is ready. 

  Because meat shreds are so low in moisture, their storage time is longer. The same was true for dried meat, which was indeed more suitable to carry as a ration while marching and fighting, just like Sun Xing had said. 

  This way, any soldier can march far away without carrying a lot of stuff on his body. 

  Xiao Yilin, Gu Yu, and Feng Zhi all watched as Jing Yi taught the cooks how to make meat shreds and jerky. Jing Yi did not hide anything, and explained the process of making beef jerky and meat shreds to the cook clearly. 

  Although Jing Yi was generous and did not hesitate to give her recipe to the chef, Xiao Yilin also issued an order to prohibit the chef from spreading this recipe. 

  When a plate of extremely tender meat abon was served to everyone, Feng Zhi first squeezed out a pinch of meat abon and stuffed it into his mouth. 

  He immediately opened his eyes wide after he tasted it, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Well, it's delicious, it's a delicacy in the world. Doctor Chu, you are amazing. The classic horse meat that tastes bad and smells your hands will be a delicacy in the world. Doctor Chu, it is no exaggeration to say that you are an expert in cooking." Sun Xing's 

  also tasting the meat abon, and nodding vigorously, "Yes, this is very tasty. It's Better to take him while you march and fight. If you are hungry, take a pinch and eat to replenish your energy quickly. This is really a good thing. Too bad, where there are so many horse meat for us to eat.”

  Jing Yi said: "Abon meat should not be horse meat. Pork, beef, and lamb can be used. As long as it is lean meat, it can be made into shredded meat. Fish meat can also be made into fish shreds, can be eaten alone or mixed with porridge Eat it, put in the bakpao, there are many ways to eat it. 

  ” is also convenient to eat. 

  "It's very good as a military ration. It is suitable for long distance and very fast travel. Everyone can last a long time with some meat shreds. It's just meat. If it was unrealistic to supply the army for such a long time, his country was still too poor. I can't afford it. " 

  Jing Yi had been in this ancient age for so long, and he deeply understood the backwardness and low productivity in this age. 

  Large-scale farms are now very few, because once cattle are raised on a large scale, they are susceptible to disease and infection, once the livestock get sick, many die, and the deaths are also contagious. . 

  Today the community still lacks knowledge about the prevention of livestock diseases, and does not know how to treat livestock diseases. 

  Therefore, there are very few large-scale farms. Even if there is a large-scale farm, the scale is not large. So you can imagine the number of livestock raised in the country. 

  Generally, wealthy families have their own farms, and there are people on farms who are responsible for raising livestock and poultry. 

  Some large farms have tenant farmers, and the pigs and sheep raised by tenant farmers are reluctant to slaughter and eat meat, so they will sell the money to subsidize their families. 

  In ancient times, livestock could not be slaughtered at will. Because for the ancients, the importance of livestock was much higher than that of other livestock, and the ancients loved livestock more, even the Jin State also had a ban on killing livestock at will. 

  Jing Yi also learned that in ancient times, there were generally no livestock farmed for humans to eat, and that beef could not be eaten by humans like other meats. 

  Jing Yi still did not know much about the many customs and laws in ancient times. 

  He asked: "Brother Xiao, I rarely see beef in the market. Was it because the imperial court did not allow livestock to be slaughtered? Or is the farm too little? But you can order beef dishes in the restaurant,"

  Xiao Yilin replied: "The imperial court has a ban on slaughtering cattle at will, but for livestock that die of natural causes, such beef will not be blocked from entering the market, he said, and it's no surprise that restaurants and restaurants can have beef dishes 

  Moreover, even though it was a normal dead cattle herd, if the farmer wanted to sell his meat, they would have to report to Yamen, he said, and the cowhide and her veins after processing should be handed over to Yamen as military reserves .The procedure is very complicated.Therefore, many breeders want to 

  avoiding unnecessary trouble would even sell these dead cows at a bargain price in person, and the beef would naturally flow into the market in a cheaper, less expensive way, and restaurants are important places to sell "Another important reason is because cowhide and tendons can be used 

  to make weapons, so sometimes the imperial court confiscated and slaughtered some cows to obtain cowhide and tendons. As for the rest of the beef, most will flow into private restaurants. 

  " Yi nodded, "Oh, so so. It seems like raising cows on a large scale is also very troublesome, no wonder no one is raising cows on a large scale."
