There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 421 (One more update)
But no matter how cold the weather is, the three leopards must be dealt with as soon as possible.

Luo Cheng and Xiang Erbao carried the leopard to the back yard together.

Juan helped with chores and drove the wagon to the backyard, where he unloaded the wagon frame, fed the horses, and washed the wagon wheels.

Very diligent.

Chunya warmed the wine and made dinner, Li Jiaoniang took Zhao Cong to close the medical clinic, and the two came to the backyard to help.

Luo Cheng took off his cloak, put it on the chair, and rolled up his sleeves.

Li Jiaoniang stepped forward and asked, "Brother Luo Cheng, do you want to remove the leopard's fur first?"

"Well, the furs of these three leopards are shiny, and I'll make you a coat after cleaning them." Luo Cheng pinched the leopard skins and said.

Li Jiaoniang waved her hand and said with a smile, "I'd better give it to you, the color is too eye-catching." She likes plain clothes.

She will not be used to wearing this brown-yellow fur coat.

Luo Cheng smiled, knowing that she was worried that the cloak she made would not look good, so she didn't say anything else.

He will find a good embroiderer to do it.

He got a knife from Erbao and sharpened it. To peel the fur, he had to use a sharp knife.

Zhao Cong had never seen handling animal fur, so he stood aside with great interest, watching Luo Cheng and Xiang Erbao busy.

Juan is a child in the village, so he has seen many such scenes, so he explained to Zhao Cong.

It was already dark, and on the branches of the sweet-scented osmanthus trees in the courtyard, there were two big bright lanterns hanging.

Brightly illuminate the courtyard.

The shopkeepers of several nearby shops learned that Luo Cheng handled the leopard fur overnight, and several of them came to watch the excitement.

The shopkeeper of the tavern will go out of the city to buy prey every few days. He is very experienced in how to deal with large beasts, and he gives advice to Luo Cheng from time to time.

Talking about the fur, but staring at the leopard meat.

How could Li Jiaoniang not understand his thoughts?I want to buy cheap leopard meat.

She deliberately said, "Brother Luo Cheng, the three leopards, five or six hundred catties of meat, we probably won't be able to finish them all."

Luo Cheng said, "If you can't finish eating, why don't you sell some?"

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Sell it to me, sell it to me, no matter how much meat there is, I can use it up in the tavern."

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "It's easy to say, let's give priority to neighbors."

The tavern proprietor asked for one, but Li Jiaoniang gave the price slightly cheaper than the market price, and after deducting the change, she charged the tavern proprietor ten pennies.

The buddy Huzi was clever, and immediately ran back to the tavern, calling for another buddy.

The two carried the leopard meat back to the tavern together.

The proprietor of the tavern immediately shouted to the chef, "The four hooves are quickly marinated to taste, and they will be used for barbecue tomorrow. The bones are stewed now, and the other meat is made into bacon."

Huzi asked curiously, "Shopkeeper, why are you in such a hurry to stew the leopard bones?"

The shopkeeper rolled up his sleeves and said proudly, "Because a nobleman has come to the city, and he is looking for rare delicacies everywhere. This leopard meat is only available in our tavern. Why don't you attract him? I heard that he came here. But the big shots in Lin'an City will make a lot of money."

Huzi blinked, "But Guanren Luo beat three heads, and there are two more. What if he sells it to other taverns?"

The shopkeeper smiled triumphantly, "Don't worry, he won't sell it. I asked his wife, Mrs. Li, and she told me to eat the rest."

Huzi grinned, "The shopkeeper is amazing."

……

Li Jiaoniang really planned to keep all the remaining leopard meat for her own people to eat.

Now there are six people in the tavern, and there is a lot of food every day, so of course more food is prepared.

She is not short of money now, and she doesn't need to make money by selling wild game.

A leopard is all pickled.

At the other end, which was stronger, she made bacon with four hooves.

Other meats are soaked in soy sauce to make soy sauce meat.

As for the fat pig, there are many ways to eat it.

The pig's tail and pig's lungs are rubbed with salt and marinated, and will be made into stewed pork in the future.

The two front hooves were stewed that night, and the soaked beans were added to make pig's trotters stewed with soybeans. This is a very nourishing dish.Simmering on a small fire, it can be eaten tomorrow morning.

The two fatter pig's trotters were also marinated, and she wanted to make ham.

For the pork belly on the ribs, Li Jiaoniang made it into soy sauce pork.

As for the fatty sausage, that is her favorite, and I saved some of it to make the sausage noodle soup tomorrow.

For the most part, she's going to make sausages.

The fat and lean meat is cut into pieces, mixed with salt, spices, water, minced ginger, minced garlic and a little wine, poured into the cleaned and blown intestines, and tied into sections with white yarn.

This method is very novel, everyone is curious to see Li Jiaoniang hanging the sausages.

"This is called sausage, and it can be eaten after a week in the sun." Li Jiaoniang said with a smile.

Chunya looked at the remaining meat and asked, "Sister Jiao Niang, what should I do with the extra meat? Are you marinating it all?"

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Reserve ten catties of meat to make meatballs, and marinate the rest."

"Alright." Chunya said excitedly.

Today's dinner was late, but hearty.

There are pork liver soup, steamed pork belly and taro, Sixi meatballs and lotus root clips.

The taro and lotus root are freshly brought from Hujia Village.

After eating, the men did the heavy work, such as rubbing salt on the pork and mincing the meat.

Luo Cheng took the initiative to take over ten catties of minced meat.

After the minced meat was chopped, Li Jiaoniang and Chun Ya immediately put it into a clay pot, mixed with seasonings, and prepared to make meatballs.

Half of it is fried, and the other half is made into glutinous rice meatballs.

In today's weather, the temperature is freezing every day, and the meatballs will not go bad after being cooked for a few days.

Thinking of ice, Li Jiaoniang thought in her heart, the snow will stop tomorrow, the temperature will be lower, and the ice will be thicker. She should think about making a "refrigerator" to store meat conveniently.

Li Jiaoniang quickly searched for the knowledge of ancient refrigerators in her mind.

After thinking about it, she still denied it. The refrigerators in this period were only around zero degrees, so it was okay to store fruit, but only one more day to store meat. After a long time, it would still go bad.

Li Jiaoniang shook her head and put this idea aside.

Guys, it's been busy until midnight.

Zhao Cong and Huimao Juanqiu slept in the same room, Chunya still slept in a small room, and Xiang Erbao took Juan to sleep in the small room on the first floor.

Li Jiaoniang dragged her tired body into the room.

"So tired." She crossed her arms and wanted to shout "It's so cold" as usual, but found that the room was warm.

Luo Cheng is spreading a quilt on the newly made kang.

Li Jiaoniang stepped forward quickly, touched the bed with a smile, "Is it warm?" What she touched was a warm mattress.

"How? Is it warm enough?" Luo Cheng asked her with a smile, like a child begging for praise, his eyes sparkling.

"The official is so kind, my brother Luo Cheng is so powerful." Li Jiaoniang stood on tiptoe and hugged Luo Cheng for a while to kiss, "Ah, we didn't come back to live last night, I almost forgot that there was an extra kang in the house, I thought, It will be a cold bed again."

"Then go wash up and go to bed earlier." Luo Cheng lifted her off his body.

Although he was a bit reluctant, he felt sorry for her who was yawning so much that she couldn't keep her eyes open.

"Okay." Li Jiaoniang said with a smile, yawned, and carried a change of clothes into the bathroom downstairs.

When I came back again, the quilt on the bed was neatly spread and the pillows were arranged.

No more pillows for each head.

Li Jiaoniang smiled.

Luo Cheng picked up the corner of the quilt, and Li Jiaoniang quickly got into the bed, and she happily kicked her legs on the bed, "It's so warm."

After all, he was tired and sleepy, Luo Cheng found his change of clothes, and when he turned around, Li Jiaoniang had already fallen asleep.

He smiled and shook his head, stuffed two sticks of firewood into the stove, and went to the first floor to take a bath.

……

This night, Li Jiaoniang slept more comfortably than ever before.

She stretched beautifully. It was another beautiful day.

Luo Cheng was nowhere to be seen in the room, but his voice could be heard in the main hall downstairs.

Li Jiaoniang looked at the window, it was snowy outside, and there were birds chirping.

She slipped down the kang and opened the window to look, and sure enough, as she guessed the night before, the weather has cleared up, the strong wind has stopped, and the snow has also stopped.

A few sparrows fluttered on the branches, shaking off a lot of snowflakes.

But the weather was colder than usual, and when the slightest wind blew, his face hurt like a knife cut.

Under the eaves, there are two feet long icicles hanging down.

Thinking that yesterday's sausage was still hanging in the kitchen, I had to take it out to dry.

Li Jiaoniang got up and dressed as fast as she could, but when she came downstairs, she found that the sausages had been taken out to dry.

Under the eaves of the backyard, strings of sausages were neatly hung.

"Master, is it okay to hang here?" Juan climbed down from the ladder, pointed at the row of sausages and asked with a smile.

When he came, he didn't bring any clothes, but today he was wearing Xiang Erbao's old cotton clothes.

Because the clothes were too big, the sleeves were rolled up several times by him.

The young man had a small face, but his eyes were clever.
