Let's put it this way, with Fang Xiaoyue's cooking skills at this time, there is probably no one who can slap her in the face!
There are also a few educated youths who have never had a top banquet such as a state banquet. Otherwise, they would probably say that this is more delicious than a state banquet!
At this meal, eight people had their mouths watering.
In the words of the Zhou Society, for the next few days, even my farts smelled like meat.
Well, although this description is exaggerated and disgusting, for a few educated youths who have not eaten much meat for more than a year, this meal is really delicious.
In the evening, Fang Xiaoyue cooked all the remaining ribs.
Although several people in the Zhou community said that what they ate at noon had not had time to be digested, but it was impossible if we didn't do it, it was almost going to stink.
At least, after being made into braised pork ribs, the meat can be kept for a while.
Sure enough, during dinner, although everyone had the idea of continuing to eat fiercely, after sitting at the table, picking up the meat and eating, they really didn't feel so strong anymore.
As a result, when I was washing the dishes, more than half of the braised pork ribs and potatoes were left in the pot.
Of course, these braised pork ribs will not go to waste.
When she got up early the next morning, Fang Xiaoyue went to the villagers and bought a small bag of rice for 5 cents.
These days, although there is not enough food, the price of rice is fixed.
Fang Xiaoyue felt that she had made a profit by buying such a small bag of rice for 50 cents, but the villager also felt that she had made a profit.
After all, these days, rice only costs between 1 cent and 15 cents, and eggs only cost two or three cents each.
I came back with the rice and cooked half a pot of rice porridge.
After this night, everyone is somewhat hungry. Braised pork ribs with rice porridge tastes delicious and is much more comfortable than eating braised pork ribs alone.
No way, people's appetites are so mean.
Don't eat too much of a good thing, otherwise you will feel tired.
While drinking rice porridge and eating braised pork ribs, Fang Xiaoyue still felt a little regretful: "If I had known earlier, I would have tried to make some pickles. At this time, I cut some salted radish and salted cowpeas. The taste is sizzling."
"I remember when I was cleaning out the warehouse, there were several large jars that were thrown into the haystack behind the warehouse. After dinner, I'll go take a look and wash them to see if they can be used."
Hearing Fang Xiaoyue's words, Yang Hongxing thought that he couldn't just eat for free all day long and should make some contribution, so he volunteered to take over the pickle making task.
Of course, after breakfast and finding the jar, she would not be able to do everything by herself.
Fortunately, except for Fang Xiaoyue who went out to eat after eating, the rest of the people helped.
Wash the jar clean, boil a pot of water, sterilize the jar, fill it with half a jar of cold boiled water and an appropriate amount of salt, and then the group heads to a nearby vegetable patch.
The vegetable plot was originally used by a family in the village to grow vegetables. However, due to something happening at his family, and later because the owner returned to the city to recruit workers, the vegetable plot was abandoned.
The villagers in the village did not have time to tidy up this vegetable field, so they have just preserved it until now.
After a few educated youths had been busy in the vegetable field full of weeds for most of the day, they actually picked a lot of wild vegetables.
After cleaning these wild vegetables and drying them in the shade, put the vegetables into the pickle stall and seal them.
Fortunately, I bought more salt this time, otherwise I wouldn't be able to make pickles at all.
In the afternoon, Fang Xiaoyue was very busy. He tried to use a bamboo pole knife to split the mat grass into more thin strips.
For straw braiding, thinner strips with a smaller radius can weave finer straw braiding.
To put it simply, if uncut mats are used to weave animals or portraits, the texture will look relatively rough.
But if the mat is cut into two, the fineness of the weaved texture will be more than doubled.
If one is cut into four, the fineness of the texture will be doubled.
Of course, if Fang Xiaoyue had returned to his peak strength at this time, with the dexterity and stability of his hands, it would be possible to cut the mat into hundreds of thin strips.
But now it is simply impossible for him to do this. After trying for an entire afternoon, he could only cut one into eight.
This is his current limit.
But having said that, mat grass is a type of rush, and being able to cut a rush into eight parts is already an astonishing level of detail.
The stems of the mat grass growing here in Kuixing Village are relatively slender, with a diameter of only 1.3 mm.
This is already very thin, and after cutting it into eight pieces, the thin strips that come out are only about 0.16 mm!
This is the diameter of the two hairs combined.
You can imagine how thin it is.
The golden grass is thinner than the rush grass, with a diameter of almost only 0.6 mm. Fang Xiaoyue cut it into four, and the diameters of the two thin strips were almost the same.
Later, he tried to weave a thirty-six-karat landscape painting using mat grass cut into eights and golden silk grass cut into four.
This landscape painting is just a big tree under the sunset.
But after the weaving was completed, Yang Hongxing and Cheng Yaqin, who gathered around him and wanted to learn the straw weaving technique, couldn't help but marvel.
Compared with the pendant weaved the day before yesterday, the landscape painting Fang Xiaoyue weaved today is completely several levels higher.
The big tree above is lifelike, as if it has come alive in the painting.
If you don't look closely, it's hard to tell that it's made of thin strips.
In Cheng Yaqin's words, this is no longer a craft, but a work of art.
Fang Xiaoyue has no plans to sell this straw braid for the time being, after all, it consumes too much energy and time.
To weave such a small painting, with the same time and energy, we can weave fifteen or sixteen pendants.
In other words, Fang Xiaoyue can only weave two small paintings like this in one day.
But if you just take it to a supply and marketing cooperative to sell it, the price you can sell it for may not be much higher than the ornaments.
Therefore, if you want to make money with this kind of compilation technology, you have to look at the right time.
After all, the situation was different at this time. There was not yet a market economy as developed as it would be in later generations. If you wanted to make transactions happily, there was a so-called black market in the county.
A group of guys who took huge risks got together to buy and sell various things and various tickets.
But the problem is that even if a piece of straw like Fang Xiaoyue is made well and is a unique treasure, it will probably be difficult to sell it, or at a high price, if it is sent to such a black market.
In other words, after being busy for a while, the cost-effectiveness of the income and expenditure is too low.
Fang Xiaoyue is not willing to do such a stupid thing.
