Smelling the fragrance, everyone in the general's residence knew that the lady was making delicious food again.
The patrolling soldiers were walking outside Qiushi Courtyard, thinking that if the food was ready and the lady saw them, she might give them some to taste.
After roasting the beef for three-quarters of an hour, Shen Wan asked Dongmei to open the oven and take a look. The beef had shrunk significantly and was already very dry.
Shen Wan picked up one [Liancheng www.lcds.info] and tasted it. It was very dry, fragrant and chewy.
"Is it delicious, ma'am?"
Dongmei swallowed her saliva and looked at Shen Wanwen helplessly.
Shen Wan picked up a piece of beef jerky from the wooden plate and stuffed it into Dongmei's mouth.
"tasty!"
Dongmei said with wide eyes.
This was the first time she had eaten such delicious beef. Although it was a bit hard, the more she chewed it, the more delicious it became.
Shen Wan chewed the beef jerky and said, "It's already roasted. There's no need to put it in for roasting anymore. You can take some and feed it to Qiu Ju and Xia Zhu."
"Okay," Dongmei placed the wooden plate with beef jerky on the extra surface of the oven, and took two pieces of beef jerky into the stove.
Shen Wan stood in front of the oven and ate beef jerky. The beef jerky was quite successful and she couldn't stop eating.
A group of patrolling government soldiers passed by the courtyard gate. Shen Wan saw it and quickly waved them in.
The soldiers were overjoyed. After walking around for so many times, the lady finally saw them.
"Come and try this beef jerky," Shen Wan pointed to the wooden plate placed on the oven.
The soldiers lined up and each took one to try.
This was the first time for them to eat such special dried meat, and they all tasted it carefully at first.
"How about it?"
Shen Wan asked.
“Very fragrant, chewy, and unique in flavor.”
"It's delicious. The more you chew it, the better it tastes. It's just a little dry and hard."
People with bad teeth will definitely not be able to chew.
"It should taste better if it's softer."
Shen Wan smiled and said: "It's done deliberately so that all the moisture in the beef is dried out, so the meat can be stored for a long time."
"How long will this last?"
Shen Wan thought for a while and said: "Wrap it in oil paper and store it for half a month. If it is sealed, it should be able to store it for half a year."
"Madam, if you want to eat it, you can just make it anytime. There is no need to store it for a long time!"
"Madam has her own considerations."
"Do you still want to eat?
If you want to eat, just take them all! We will bake them later."
Shen Wan said to the soldiers.
"Thank you ma'am."
The soldiers happily left with the beef jerky in their arms, chewing the beef jerky in their mouths as they left. Although the jerky was very dry and hard, eating it was addictive and made people unable to stop.
After the soldiers left, Shen Wan and Dong Mei tried another round of beef jerky.
Twenty kilograms of beef and twenty kilograms of dried pork took six ovens to bake, and it was almost dark when they were finished.
However, whether it is beef jerky or pork jerky, they taste great.
Moreover, this stuff has a magical power that makes people unable to stop eating and want to eat more.
Shen Wan didn't send the dried meat to Mr. Liu because Mr. Liu was old and had trouble chewing, so he couldn't eat it if it was given to him.
The next day, after breakfast, Shen Wan began to dress up and prepare to go to the palace.
"You will ask the soldiers to send some dried meat to the military camp later for Zi Ling to eat, and also send some to Ming'er's house."
The food in the military camp was not good and there was not much meat to eat, so this dried meat was just enough to satisfy Zi Ling's craving.
Ming'er was her younger brother, so she made delicious food, so naturally she wanted to give it to him to try.
The next day, Qiu Ju, who was giving Shen Wanwan her hair, said, "Okay, do you want me to ask Cui'er to send some to the eldest lady when I send her food?"
Shen Wan said: "Send it away!"
She had also forgotten about Song Ziyu, but she felt that even if she gave it to Song Ziyu, people wouldn't care about it.
