Shen Chenai's Different Life in Ancient Times

In the past few days when Luo Ding left, Shen Chenai's life was not too easy.There were many people who heard that Luo Ding's business had problems that day, so there were also many people who came to find out the truth of the matter.

In order not to shake the morale of the army, Shen Chenai has always supported himself, pretending to be nonchalant, doing what he should do every day, and not letting outsiders see any problems from his face.

At first, it was useful to do so. Seeing Shen Chenai's calmness, although they still had some doubts in their hearts, most of them still chose to wait and see.

But this situation only lasted for a few days. As Luo Ding stayed in Wuwei and did not come back, the patience of those who waited and watched became less and less.

Later, some people who couldn't bear it began to find Shen Chenai and inquired about Luo Ding's whereabouts. Later, some people simply came to the door directly and asked if there was something wrong with Luo Ding's butcher shop.

To these people, Shen Chenai's attitude is kind and kind, and she tells them that there is no problem with the operation of the butcher shop, and those who don't believe it can go and have a look, all the business here is still as usual.

These words can reassure those who grow grass together in partnership, but they can't appease those farmers who raise fat pigs in their homes.Especially for those who joined this year, they feel that they have no bottom in their hearts.

Regarding these people, Shen Chenai also felt a little helpless. So far, no accurate news has been transmitted from Luo Ding's side. This makes Shen Chenai feel a lot of pressure here while worrying about him.

In order to reassure this person, with the help of Xu Jian, Shen Chenai held a small solo exhibition in Jixianzhai.On the one hand, he would do this to show everyone his attitude, saying that everything is fine.On the other hand, he wanted to take advantage of this art exhibition to increase the sales of his calligraphy and paintings, and exchange some money for emergencies.

Once something went wrong with Luo Ding's contract, no matter whether he could find a new outlet, it was impossible for Luo Ding to break the contract.So even if he knew that he would lose money, those fat pigs Luo Ding would definitely buy them at a price. At that time, funds would definitely be tight, so Shen Chenai had to make plans for Luo Ding in advance.

In the past few days, Shen Chenai had to appear in the shop pretending to be nonchalant, and reconcile the accounts with the shopkeeper and accountants, but on the other hand, she had to hurry up and sell her paintings quickly without being noticed.The life pressure of a double-faced person is too great, but after a few days, he looks much more haggard than before.

But this hard work, he can't tell anyone, every day during the day he has to go out to show people, but at night he has to make every effort to create works, take care of family chores, and to stay in Wuwei. Luo Ding of the news was worried.In just a few days, Shen Chenai felt more than what he had experienced in the past twenty years combined.

In order to make herself look more mature and reliable, Shen Chenai, who always smiled at others, had to learn to put on airs. Although her tone was still kind when she spoke, she became much more stable.After a lot of hard work and packaging, it finally managed to suppress the situation.

So when Luo Ding returned, what he saw was such a picture.I saw his brother Chen, with a serious face, standing at the door of his butcher shop as if he was patrolling his territory.And those people who came out and went in by his side, when they passed by him, would stop and greet him very politely before continuing to do their own things.

Luo Ding was a little dumbfounded by this kind of Chen Chen, but Shen Chen who was standing at the door saw him coming with the horse.

The moment he saw Luo Ding, Shen Chenai almost gave up. Fortunately, he still remembered where he was at this time, so he persevered.

Luo Ding, who has excellent eyesight, saw Shen Chenai's extremely short-lived face change, and immediately felt at ease. No matter what, the person standing there was still his brother Chen.

Luo Ding's return brought back the issue that the relevant people were most concerned about. After they learned that it was just a misunderstanding and the contract with Wuwei had not been cancelled, they all left contentedly.

After so many days of running around, Luo Ding already felt very tired.So after he briefly explained some things, he left with Shen Chenai.

After returning home, Shen Chenai, who had been pretending all the way, finally couldn't hold it anymore, boasted and climbed onto the kang, humming and whimpering, and never wanted to get up again.

Luo Ding knew that since he had been away from home for so many days, some people who had no idea in their hearts would definitely come to Shen Chenai to ask for an explanation.With Brother Yichen's temperament that never makes things difficult for others, he must have suffered a lot to help him appease everyone this time.

So Luo Ding crawled to his side in distress, wanting to hug him to show comfort.

But when he stretched out his hand, Shen Chenai just happened to look up. The two looked at each other for a long time, but they couldn't help laughing.

It turned out that these days, Shen Chenai had to put on a show during the day, and racked his brains to create at night. The strong pressure made him not have a good night's sleep after Luo Ding left, so the bags under his eyes were no surprise. appeared.

In order not to be discovered by outsiders, Shen Chenai also secretly covered it with makeup, but at this moment, he lay on the bedding for a long time, and the white makeup on his face had already been wiped off by him.

And Luo Ding's side is not much better. From the day he arrived in Wuwei, he lived and slept outside the city, and then he fought with Chang Yuan. After finally waiting for a way out, he had to look for a suitable shop to open. .After a lot of tossing, Luo Ding didn't have time to take care of himself at all, so at this time, not only his face was full of tiredness, but also a lot of stubble grew on his chin. It seemed that the whole person was really in a mess. up.

The haggard duo stared at each other and laughed for a long time, but gradually, the laughter in the room disappeared.Luo Ding and Shen Chenai kissed each other lingeringly.

That kiss was soft and tender, without a hint of lust, but the warmth was transmitted to each other's hearts along with the joints of the two people.

But this kiss didn't last long. The two people, who were already anxious, leaned on each other after spending some time together, and fell asleep.

That day, the two of them slept until dinner time, and the two sleepy-eyed people woke up only after smelling the scent of dinner.

After a good night's sleep, Luo Ding and Shen Chenai looked much more energetic at this time. After a few days of separation, the family of four finally got together again and had a reunion dinner.

After dinner, Shen Chenai was finally able to help Yue Gui with her homework at ease like before.A few days ago, there was a lot of chaos, which delayed the homework of the two children a lot.

After the class was over, Shen Chenai sent the two children to the west room and coaxed them to sleep. When they returned to the east room, they saw Luo Ding lazily leaning on the kang.

Shen Chenai took off her shoes and climbed onto the heated kang, squeezed to Luo Ding's side, poked her finger, and asked Luo Ding, "What's going on this time?"

Luo Ding told Shen Chenai all the things that happened in Wuwei in a concise manner, and Shen Chenai listened to it for a long time in fear and said: "This is too dangerous, right? Fortunately, you are lucky this time, and the matter is finally complete solved."

Luo Ding narrowed his eyes when he heard the words and said: "Although the incident this time is dangerous, it also sounded the alarm for me early. At present, our sales channels are still too single, and pork is not easy to preserve, and the season is very strong. , so if we encounter any accidents during the off-season, we have no way to fight back, which is really too passive."

Shen Chenai tilted her head and thought for a while when she heard the words, "Then what do you want to do?"

Hearing the words, Luo Ding turned his head and glanced at Shen Chenai and said, "What else can I do, one is to find a way to increase the sales of pork, and the other is to think about whether it is possible to extend the storage time of pork."

Shen Chenai lowered her head and thought for a while and said, "I don't know anything about sales, so I won't express any opinions. But I still know some ways to preserve pork."

Luo Ding's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he got up and asked Shen Chenai: "What do you know? Tell me quickly."

Shen Chenxi organized the words in her heart, and then said: "If you want to store meat for a long time, there are only a few methods. One is to marinate the divided meat with salt. If you use a lot of salt, divide it well. The pork can be preserved for a long time. The second is smoked and air-dried. There are strips of marinated meat hanging on the beams of the fire pits in every household in Bashu. The corruption. People over there say that the longer the bacon is hung, the better the taste. I heard that some meat strips will be hung on the beams for more than ten years. As for the air-drying, I don’t need to say more , People who raise cattle and sheep here are long-term, and the selected beef and mutton are cooked and then dried to become jerky. This kind of jerky can also be kept for a long time.”

Shen Chenai is able to know this, thanks to Shenzhou's "Bite of the Tongue" crew, they successfully aroused Shen Chenai's interest in food, so they paid special attention to and recorded some things related to it.

Luo Ding thought about it carefully after hearing a few suggestions from Shen Chenai.The one that is first made into jerky can be temporarily put on hold, because pork has too much fat, and it is impossible to dry such things as fat, and the remaining lean meat is in pork. The proportion is not too high.

As for the other two methods, you can try it. Salt is a specialty of Fengcheng, so they often use salted pork in summer. Although I have not tried smoking, there is a The shopkeeper is from Bashu, so I can ask him tomorrow.

If it is really possible to prolong the time for the meat to rot as Brother Chen said, then not only will it allow them to leave room for sales, but all non-perishable things are suitable for transportation, maybe their pork You can also find opportunities to sell further afield.

Seeing Luo Ding's ecstasy after listening to his speech, Shen Chenai crawled to his side, leaned against him and continued: "And if you want to expand the market for meat, we can turn raw meat into cooked food. In this way When a customer visits again, the chances of choice will be much greater, and our sales will definitely increase soon.”

After hearing Shen Chenai's thoughts, Luo Ding rubbed his head with a smile and said: "The idea of ​​making raw meat into cooked food, I also thought about it before. But although cooked food looks simple, it is not easy to make it Yes. If you want to sell something, it depends entirely on the taste. If you cook it badly, no one will buy it even if you try your best. But there are only a few delicious cooked food here in Fengcheng. Home, every family hides their delicatessen as a treasure, if you want to ask for it, you will definitely not be able to ask for it."

Shen Chenai blinked when she heard the words, as if she wanted to say something.

Seeing this, Luo Ding asked in surprise: "You don't even know the recipes for making cooked food, do you?"

Shen Chenai really knew it, because the ingredients list was clearly marked on the back of the vacuum-packed bags of his favorite flavors of cooked food in Hyundai.Although those food additives are not here, and the back of the package only writes the ingredients, not the specific ratio, but the most basic ingredients are still available here.

Shen Chenai thought that although he didn't know the ratio of the sauce recipes for those vacuum cooked food, since they had already written out all the things to be used, they would always be able to try it out if they tried it bit by bit. of taste.

And maybe in these attempts, they will be able to develop a delicacy that is more suitable for the taste of Liangzhou people.

Looking at Shen Chenai's face, Luo Ding knew what was going on in his heart, so he hugged Shen Chenai in his arms, laughed loudly and said, "Heaven has eyes, it actually told me to marry a baby back .”
