The Learning System is My Misunderstood Daughter

Chapter 55-56

Chapter 55

The method of making beef jerky is similar to that of making pork. Although Yunshuang has never done it herself, she has seen Zhao Yueji do it. As an experienced cook, as long as she has seen the steps and the technique is not difficult, she can easily imitate it.

"This meat needs to be marinated for a longer time. The beef feels more solid than pork."

The meat has been properly processed, but this dried noodles are quite rare. Even in the city, it's not guaranteed that you can find this kind of pure white dried noodles even with food coupons.

"This thing can be stored. We can save it for later and enjoy it slowly." It's a great meal to occasionally indulge in during the spring season.

This year, because there is beef, when Yunhaisheng slaughtered the New Year pig, he didn't ask for ribs, but instead asked for two pig trotters and three pounds of lean pork loin. He planned to take the pig trotters back to give Yunyi a nourishing meal, and the loin was to be made into jerky and sent to Yunda.

The pigs raised by the Yun family were sold to the purchasing station shortly after the beginning of winter. The two pigs were not particularly large, but at that time there was no pig feed to feed them. They had to specially assign someone to cook pig food at home. Yunhaisheng didn't want to go through that trouble again.

This is probably also the confidence that the children have brought Yunhaisheng in the past few years by generating income.

"When can we raise a pig for ourselves to eat?" Yun Xiaolu exclaimed on the side when they were selling pigs. She felt that everyone worked hard all year, but couldn't enjoy many meals of pork. It was too miserable.

"Wait for the future." Xu Nianyun confidently gave an answer. In another five or six years, you can eat it casually. Although the realization of "pig meat freedom" through raising and slaughtering pigs by themselves is uncertain, there is still hope for it.

During the Spring Festival, because the hostess was not at home, the Yun family's celebration seemed a bit perfunctory. Although they didn't eat significantly less meat than last year, there were fewer varieties. The special miscellaneous grain vegetarian dumplings and such were only steamed in a simple way.

The New Year can be celebrated simply, but when going to the county town for the full moon banquet, the Yun family was well prepared. They had two pig trotters, two pounds of dried noodles, six pounds of red dates, plus a basket of eggs. This full moon gift was a great face-saving gesture for Yunyi on that day.

Zhao Yueji got up early in the morning and was busy. At the same time, she directed Wang Yuemin to cook the eggs for the return gift and dyed them red using red-colored paper. Because it was cold and Yunyi had just finished her month of confinement, Zhao Yueji wouldn't let her do any kitchen work.

Yun Xiaolu looked at Yunyi, who seemed to have gained a lot of weight, and felt that her older sister must not have eaten less during her postpartum period. Then she took another look at her nephew, who had become fair and tender, and concluded that he must not have eaten less either.

"Kangkang has become even more beautiful, huh?" Xiaolu had seen many babies. After all, the countryside is never short of children. But this was the first time she had witnessed such a change. In just over twenty days, it felt like he had completely transformed.

Yunyi kissed her son, and she also noticed that her son had become much more adorable recently. The chubby and fair-skinned baby was quite rare to see. With her good breast milk and the baby's good appetite, it seemed like he was changing every day.

"Kangkang will grow up to be a handsome young man, too," Yun Haisheng looked at his grandson with a warm heart.

Xu Nianyun remained silent after hearing this comment. She remembered that her eldest cousin was quite beautiful in childhood photos, but as he grew up, she could only describe him as average. She guessed that it was because the genes on her aunt's side held him back. After all, her second cousin resembled his mother more and was quite handsome.
