Gu Jiaojiao asked Leng Yuan to go to the cellar and get some pork and cured meat.
The pork had been bought.
Because of the busy farming season, Leng Yuan had gone to the County Town before it began. He used up half a year's worth of meat ration coupons to buy five catties of pork.
Gu Jiaojiao had made the cured meat herself during the winter. You only had to make it once a year, and as long as it was prepared properly, it wouldn't spoil.
But in later generations, experts would say you couldn't eat a lot of things. This was bad for you, that was bad for you. Yet people in the past ate these things their whole lives and never seemed to have any problems.
Gu Jiaojiao then had someone go to the backyard and pick a few chili peppers.
She minced the pork, seasoned it, sliced the chili peppers into sections, and then stuffed the filling inside.
