Chapter 226: Cured meat is exposed to the sun and covered with a quilt
Xiaoyu smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, regardless of whether you're drooling or not, it's certain that our Yuyu likes these cured meats. After they're dried, Mom will make you a table full of delicious food so you can eat as much as you want. Now, let's take a break. We've been busy all day and it's really tiring."
Young Master Si Li also smiled and said softly, "Yes, everyone has worked hard. Let's sit down and rest for a while and appreciate the 'scenery' in the courtyard. The cured meats in the courtyard are so relaxing just by looking at them."
After listening to what her mother and Master Si Li said, Yu Yu stopped bickering with her brother and walked over to sit down obediently. However, her eyes would still glance at the cured meats hanging out to dry from time to time, as if she couldn't wait for them to be dried quickly so that she could enjoy them sooner.
Yuyu's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands and said, "Yes, yes, yes, we also need to let the cured chicken and duck dry in the sun and cover them with quilts. Did you forget? This way, the cured meat will have a more even color and look better, and the flavor will be better locked into the meat."
Xiaoyu smiled and nodded. "I haven't forgotten. This is the key step. When the sun is a little weaker, cover them with a quilt and let them have a good 'sleep'. Let them slowly transform into a delicious meal under the sun and warmth."
Li Hao also joked, "Haha, our cured chicken and duck are really enjoying themselves. They can bathe in the sun and be covered with quilts. By then, they will all become super delicious, which will give our taste buds a good treat."
Young Master Si Li smiled and said, "There is indeed a certain refinement to this. With such careful preparation, the preserved meat will surely live up to expectations and become the most tempting scenery on the table in winter."
Xiaoyu turned around and said, "Let's get started. Li Hao, go to the utility room and get some quilts."
"Okay, Mom, I'll go to the utility room to get some quilts and cloth." Li Hao responded and walked quickly towards the utility room.
After a while, he came out with a few thick quilts and some clean cloths, saying as he walked, "Mom, I found everything I can use. These should be enough to cover the chickens and ducks. Take a look."
Xiaoyu walked over, took a closer look, and nodded, saying, "Well, that's enough. Hao'er is always reliable. Come, let's spread out these quilts and wait for the sun to shine for a while, then cover them up and let them absorb the sun's heat to produce the best preserved food."
Yuyu jumped up and down excitedly, shouting, "Wow, we're finally going to cover them with a blanket. They're going to be even more delicious soon. I can't wait to try them."
Young Master Si Li smiled and helped spread the quilt on the open space next to him. As he did so, he said, "You have to be very careful when covering the quilt. You have to cover every bit of the quilt tightly. You can't let the sunlight sneak out."
Everyone responded and began to prepare, looking at the hanging cured chickens and ducks from time to time, hoping that under this special "care", they would soon become mouth-watering cured delicacies.
Yuyu struggled to lift the thick quilt, her face flushed red, but she still shouted with a smile: "Come on, this quilt is so heavy, I can hardly lift it. Let's quickly cover the chicken and duck with it, they must be waiting anxiously."
Seeing this, Li Hao hurried over, took the quilt from Yuyu with a smile, and said, "Silly girl, if you can't lift it, don't force yourself to do it. Your face is as red as an apple. Take a break. I can do it."
Xiaoyu also came over, touched Yuyu's head lovingly, and said, "Yuyu, you're thoughtful, but you can leave this job to your brother and Master Sili. You can just watch from the side and help point out any areas that are not covered properly."
Young Master Si Li was already standing where the cured chicken and duck were hanging. He waved towards Li Hao and said, "Li Hao, pass the quilt over. Let's start from this side. Try to spread it as flat as possible so that every piece of cured meat can be covered tightly."
Li Hao responded, holding the quilt and walked over. Together with Master Si Li, they carefully unfolded the quilt and gently covered the cured chickens and ducks with it.
After a while, the first quilt was covered. The cured chickens and ducks that were originally drying in the open air were now covered tightly and were quietly "enjoying" the warmth of the sun under the quilt.
"Okay, okay, here." Yu Yu shouted excitedly, pointing to an area that had not been completely covered.
"Yes, yes, this side needs to be tidied up again." Li Hao responded, and together with Master Si Li, they pulled the quilt to the other side again, tucking in the corners carefully to ensure that there were no gaps exposed.
"That's just one more thing." Xiaoyu was also watching from the side, reminding everyone to pay attention to some small details.
Finally, all the cured chickens and ducks were covered tightly with quilts.
Li Hao straightened up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile, "Okay, done! Now, we just have to wait for these cured meats to become more and more delicious under the dual care of the sun and the quilt."
Yuyu was so happy that she danced with joy and circled around the cured chickens and ducks covered with quilts several times, muttering to herself, "Wow, this is great! I feel like I'm one step closer to eating delicious cured meat. I really hope time will pass faster."
Young Master Si Li looked at Yu Yu's joyful expression and said with a smile, "Yes, this is the result of everyone's concerted efforts. I believe that these cured meats will live up to expectations."
Everyone stood there, looking at the cured chicken and duck covered with quilts and basking in the sun, feeling very happy.
Yuyu jumped forward and took a closer look. His face was full of a sense of accomplishment. He said happily, "Look at these, they are all covered. Now it is finally done."
Li Hao also came over, arms folded across his chest, looking at the tightly covered, white quilt, and replied with a smile: "Of course, we did it very carefully, so there's no way we'd miss anything. The cured chicken and duck are now comfortably 'sleeping' in them, waiting to slowly turn into delicious cured meat."
Xiaoyu stood aside, looking at the scene in front of her gently, nodded and said, "Yes, indeed, this white quilt makes me feel at ease. When we lift the quilt in a few days, the color of those cured chickens and ducks will surely look very beautiful, and the taste will be even more mellow. Then we can enjoy the fruits of our labor."
Young Master Si Li smiled slightly and agreed softly, "That's right. With all this meticulous care, I can already foresee the table being filled with the fragrance of preserved meats. I'm really looking forward to it."
As everyone was talking, they looked around at the cured chickens and ducks covered with quilts.
