Time Travel: A Fisherwoman Goes to the Sea to Raise a Baby

Chapter 372 Pork Jerky

Xu Yiyi smiled faintly and spread the cooked silver fish from the small pot onto the sieve.

Xu Anyang was carrying a pile of firewood when he passed by and reached out to take another piece.

"It's so delicious! Sister Yi, why didn't you make this before?"

Xu Yiyi sighed helplessly, "I've never had the chance to do this before."

She then asked Afu to bring out a plate for her.

"Hey, hey, hey... this is for you to eat, don't touch the ones on the sieve."

Xu Yiyi scooped the remaining small silver fish from the pot onto a plate.

Smelling the aroma, Sihai eagerly followed and sat down at the stone table.

"I want to go too..."

As soon as she walked up to the oven, she saw Old Lu looking up at her with a pitiful expression.

"Hey! Go away, go away, we can't expect you to do any work..."

Xu Yiyi waved her hand impatiently, signaling Afu to come and help her start the fire.

Upon hearing this, Lao Lu happily offered his stool to Afu.

"You can't eat the food from the sieve!"

Xu Yiyi didn't forget to remind him.

There was no way around it; her restaurant was full of gluttons.

Aunt Fu brought out the thinly rolled pork, and the oven was burning hot.

She carefully lifted each "meat pie" and placed it inside the oven.

Only a layer of lychee wood charcoal embers remained at the bottom of the oven, radiating a sustained and gentle heat, which was the perfect temperature for roasting meat jerky.

Close the furnace door, leaving only a small gap to let out moisture.

While the pork jerky was cooking, the candied scallops had also absorbed all the juices.

Xu Anyang eagerly picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, "It's alright...it's alright..."

He responded to Si Hai's gaze, feeling a strong resilience, and had to chew hard with his back teeth.

Its cheeks are bulging, making it look like a squirrel.

Sihai put the clam into his mouth with some skepticism.

The two, one big and one small, looked at each other and practiced their teeth.

"It's so delicious, the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes."

Gradually, an even more domineering and intense fragrance wafted out from the cracks and permeated the entire backyard.

It's not the fishy smell of raw meat, but the caramelized aroma of caramel, charred meat, chili, and spices released by the heat, spicy with an alluring sweetness that is extremely tempting.

Snowball was instantly drawn to the oven and began to linger there, whimpering softly.

Judging by the time, Xu Yiyi lifted the stove lid.

Several people gathered around.

The meat jerky shrank, turning a deep, enticing reddish-brown color. The edges curled slightly, and the surface glistened with oil, sizzling and bubbling with tiny bubbles.

"This one smells even better."

Fatty Wang's eyes lit up; he thought to himself that coming to work at Wufu Restaurant was definitely the right decision.

Xu Anyang used pliers to take it out, and Xu Yiyi cut it into small square pieces while it was still hot with scissors.

Seeing Sihai's longing gaze, she couldn't resist picking up a scrap of food, blowing on it, and putting it in his mouth.

"hiss--"

"I I I..."

Old Lu pointed to himself and, before Xu Yiyi could even make a move, reached into the basket himself.

First, the sweetness of honey enveloped the tip of the tongue, then the aroma and chewiness of the pork suddenly surged forth, and finally, the belated spiciness rose up.

"This one is chewier."

Old Lu's teeth weren't very good; he felt a toothache after eating just a small piece, but his eyes were still fixed on the oven.

Er'er probably couldn't carry that much stuff with her, so there must be some for them in here.

Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help but laugh out loud.

After taking out the pork jerky, Xu Yiyi immediately put the cooked small silver fish and scallops into the oven.

It still retains some warmth, so you can put it inside and let it bake slowly. As the aroma slowly emerges, it tastes better than sun-dried food.

I was busy until lunchtime.

She had just finished preparing the dry food for Er'er.

Pork jerky, various dried fruits, salted almonds, candied anchovies and scallops, spiced dried tofu, fried rice and noodles made by Yunniang, and Wang Pangzi's hard-crust flatbread.

I'll go back tonight and get some dried shrimp and dried squid that I've been sun-drying.

That should be pretty much it.

Xu Yiyi looked at the food on the sieve with satisfaction, just as Old Wu brought Er'er back for dinner.

"I said, we can't bring this much stuff, can we?"

Wu Yunzhi stood in front of the sieve, then took a piece of pork jerky and stuffed it into his mouth.

In an instant, their eyes lit up.

But I still felt it was unnecessary to bring so much food. Looking at the food that was almost piled up like a small mountain, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"The fleet will stop for supplies along the way, and you won't have trouble finding food after disembarking at Lingnan Road, so your sister won't go hungry."

Wu Yunzhi squinted and shook his head, "I used to only carry a first-aid kit when I went out."

I'm too lazy to even bring clothes.

Speaking of taking a boat, Xu Yiyi also planned to go to the boat captain to buy some pickled plums.

When Old Wu got seasick on the boat, he put one in his mouth, which helped alleviate the symptoms somewhat.
