Exile? A mad, wicked woman empties the national treasury to escape famine.

As far as I can remember, people say that whatever is inside a pig's stomach is unpalatable, and that the pig intestines have been used to hold pig excrement.

Thinking about all this, Xiaolan felt very uncomfortable, but seeing Ji Yunshu's excited expression, she didn't know whether she should say anything, for fear of dampening Ji Yunshu's spirits.

Standing to the side, Chen stared blankly at what Xiaolan was holding for a moment. After a long while, she forced a smile.

"Since Yunshu says to keep it, then let's keep it. It's not easy for us to get food in this place."

They all knew that there was plenty of delicious food in Ji Yunshu's space, and she had almost no shortage of food.

I can't understand why Ji Yunshu insisted on keeping these pork offal that didn't taste very good.

Ji Yunshu finally realized that whether she was in the Prince's Mansion or in the Minister's Mansion, she would never come into contact with pig offal.

As for pig offal, in other people's eyes, no matter how it is cooked, it doesn't taste very good.

But things are different now. She has cooking skills now. The braising liquid in her space is so good that it can be used to braise not only pig offal, but also shoe insoles!

She placed her hands on Xiaolan's shoulders and turned her around.

"Alright, hurry up and put these entrails in the kitchen. I'll clean them up later!"

I guarantee that after cleaning out these pig offal, the resulting dish will taste even better than pork!

Xiao Lan nodded and had no choice but to follow Ji Yunshu's instructions, taking the pile of pig offal she was carrying to the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Schelling continued processing the pork, removing all the pig's internal organs, leaving only pure pork.

Ji Yunshu asked Xie Lin to cut the pork into pieces, and then poked a hole in the edge of each piece with a knife.

While Xie Lin was chopping meat, Ji Yunshu pulled Chen Shi into the nearby woods. They wandered around in the woods for a while, and finally stopped in front of a palm tree.

Before Chen could ask any questions, Ji Yunshu took the curved knife from her waist, hooked a palm leaf, and with a swift motion, chopped the palm leaf off.

She chopped off a few palm leaves before stopping, putting the machete back at her waist. Picking up a few more palm leaves, she explained to Mrs. Chen...

"Come on, Second Sister-in-law, let's go back, put these palm leaves on the fire to roast them, then split off the small leaves and twist them into a small circle."

Then, by placing a ring over the pork, you can hang it up.

We'll keep some fresh pork for ourselves, and the rest we'll make into cured pork, just like before.

Chen didn't understand these things, so she could only stay by Ji Yunshu's side and listen attentively to what she had to say.

Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer and looked at Ji Yunshu with a puzzled expression, asking:

"Yun Shu, how do you know so much? How do you know that the leaves of this tree can be used to hang pork and then roast it over a fire?"

"Didn't you grow up in the Minister's mansion? How did you come into contact with these kinds of things in the wild?"

It's no wonder Chen asked that question; Ji Yunshu simply knows too much.

Only women who have always lived in the countryside would know a little about these things, but Ji Yunshu used to grow up in the Minister's mansion.

Ji Yunshu's eyes darted around, and after thinking for a moment, she decided to shift the blame to the spatial dimension.

"Oh dear, second sister-in-law, have you forgotten that I have a spatial ability?"

My space is so powerful, and there are so many books in it. I've read quite a few of them.

Also, there are forests in this space. I sometimes go for a stroll in the woods, so I naturally know a bit about them. Alright, let's hurry back."

After Ji Yunshu finished speaking, she pulled Chen Shi away from the woods quickly.

Before long, they were back in their own yard.

Xiao Lan had already come out of the kitchen. Ji Yunshu looked around and saw that there was no one else around.

She went to a relatively secluded corner, took out a dozen or so packets of fine salt from her storage space, poured the salt into a container, and then carried the salt back to Xiaolan and Sherin's side.

She placed the container in her hand into Xiaolan's arms.

"Here, this is salt I took out from my space. Spread this salt evenly over the pork."

To make cured pork, the pork needs to be salted and then smoked. This way, the pork can be stored for a long time and won't easily spoil.

If pork is not cured with fine salt, it will spoil after a few days.

Xiao Lan didn't ask any questions. Holding the white fine salt in her hand, she squatted down next to Xie Lin and took the pieces of pork that Xie Lin had chopped off, one by one, and evenly rubbed the salt on each piece of meat.

Xiao Lan was left to pickle the leaves, while Ji Yunshu took the palm leaves in her hand and roasted them over the fire in the kitchen.

After softening the palm leaves by baking them, I returned to the yard.

Pick the palm leaves one by one, tie them into a small circle, and knot the ends.

The group carried the marinated pork into the kitchen and hung it on the wall.

There were no hooks on the wall, so Ji Yunshu took out a hammer and a handful of nails from her spatial storage and hammered the nails into the wall one by one.

Finally, the pork, which had already been tied with rope, was hung up.

In the kitchen, they always had a fire burning, with flames almost all day long, making it warm and cozy. When cooking, there was also a lot of smoke.

The best way to make cured pork is by smoking it.

The cured meat they made on the road before had only been smoked overnight. Although it had a bit of the flavor of cured meat, it was nowhere near as good as authentic cured meat.

After hanging up all the meat, Ji Yunshu deliberately left a few pieces of fresh pork.

Cured pork has one flavor, while fresh pork has another. If you eat fresh pork for a long time, you'll crave cured pork, and if you eat cured pork for a long time, you'll crave fresh pork.

Moreover, to be honest, cured meat is far less nutritious than fresh meat. It's just that cured meat is easier to preserve. In winter, when it's not easy to catch prey, it's best to preserve any meat you have by making it into cured meat.

Instead of putting the fresh pork in the kitchen, she used her mind to place it directly into her spatial dimension.

There are refrigerators and freezers in the space, so you can temporarily store the meat and take it out when you want to eat it.

After processing all the meat, Ji Yunshu began to prepare the plate of pig offal.

Xiao Lan, Chen Shi, and Xie Lin all looked at Ji Yunshu.

Ji Yunshu didn't stand on ceremony and beckoned the three of them over. She then separated the pig's large intestine and other internal organs, and each of them cleaned one of them.

For simpler items, like pig liver, Chen would clean them. But for more difficult-to-clean items like pig stomach, large intestine, and pig lungs, Ji Yunshu would leave them and clean them together with Xie Lin and Xiao Lan.

With more people, the washing will be faster, and we can also teach Xiaolan and Xielin how to clean these internal organs.

If she manages to bring back wild boars again in the future, she can then wash her hands of these matters.
