The soy sauce was slowly boiling in the pot, and Cao's mother was gently stirring while repeating the steps and precautions for boiling.

"If you make coleslaw, boil it for a while, if you make stewed rice or stir-fry, boil it for a while, the longer you boil, the saltier the soy sauce will be, but the more fragrant it tastes, depending on how you use it." ”

Cao's mother didn't know how Xu Zhuo planned to use this replica soy sauce, so she explained it as carefully as possible, for fear that he wouldn't understand.

When it is almost boiled, turn off the heat, then put the soy sauce out, and then add it as appropriate when it is time to use it, and put the boiled soy sauce in the refrigerator for a week without any problems.

Xu Zhuo took the chopsticks and dipped the boiled soy sauce into his mouth and tasted it, the taste is really good, after heating, there is no smell of raw sauce, but a rich sauce fragrance.

And in this taste, there is a faint fragrance of spices, and the aftertaste is slightly sweet, which is the taste of the bacon stewed rice just eaten.

"Auntie, can you give me a bottle of this soy sauce?"

When Cao's mother heard this, she bent down and picked up the jar on the ground: "Take it if you like, anyway, I personally like to eat this soy sauce at home, and they both don't like it to taste good......

Xu Zhuo scratched his head, although this soy sauce is very good, but now he doesn't know how to use it except for making bacon stew, and he is about to move, this jar of soy sauce may not be able to be saved.

After he thought about it seriously, he refused with a smile: "Just fill me with a bottle, I can't finish eating more, and I will book with you in advance if I need it in the future, and you can help me brew some at home at that time." ”

Cao's mother said with some embarrassment: "You have to say this in advance, soy sauce has to be brewed for at least half a year to be delicious, and you don't have this taste if you don't have enough time." ”

Xu Zhuo nodded: "No problem, I'll tell Brother Kun when I need it." ”

While the two were talking, Cao Kun walked in with a woven bag, he loaded a pork rib, as well as more than 20 catties of bacon and a whole pork leg.

Xu Zhuo saw it and hurriedly asked him to take it out: "It's too much, we can't finish eating it these days, it's too much, just take two pieces enough to make bacon stew." ”

Cao Kun and Cao's mother immediately disagreed: "You can't do it, you can't do it, we don't have much in our family, just a lot of bacon, take more away, and you can eat it when you go to the Central Plains in the future." ”

After pushing each other for a while, Xu Zhuo accepted it.

Before leaving, Xu Zhuo thought that Cao's mother could make bacon and soy sauce, so he said to her: "Auntie, if you are okay at home, make more bacon, and when I go back to my restaurant, I will come over to buy it, and I will help me process it, what do you think?"

Cao's mother naturally agreed.

Found a clean drink bottle, Xu Zhuo washed it clean, and filled it with a full bottle of soy sauce.

The taste of this raw soy sauce is really rushing, when the soy sauce is loaded, Xu Zhuo even wants to retch, the smell of raw sauce, I can't tell what it tastes like, in short, it doesn't smell very good.

Then the two of them took soy sauce and the other carried a woven bag, and after saying goodbye to Cao's mother, they took a taxi back to Yao Meixiang's house.

As soon as the two got into the taxi, Yu Keke's phone called: "Where have you been? It's time to eat, the fish head made by your grandfather is so delicious, I think it's on par with my grandfather's cooking, hurry back, otherwise Li Hao will rob it all......

In the past, Li Hao was a big stomach at home, so he kept it when he ate, for fear that everyone would dislike him.

Now that he has Meng Liwei, he can let go, anyway, there are people who have the same amount of food as him, even if he is disliked, he has a back.

By the time Xu Zhuo and Cao Kun entered the house, half of the braised fish head made by the old man had already been eaten.

The old man looked at Xu Zhuo holding the bottle of soy sauce in his hand, and asked curiously, "What's it, it's dark, do you plan to learn calligraphy?"

Xu Zhuo unscrewed the cap of the bottle and let the old man smell it: "This is an authentic soy sauce brewed by the local method, and the taste is not very good, but if it is reprocessed into a replica soy sauce, the taste is beautiful." ”

The old man sniffed it, turned his face to look at Cao Kun and asked, "Your family?"

Cao Kun nodded: "My mother made it, the taste is not very good, she eats it alone at home." ”

Wei Junming leaned over and sniffed it, looked at Cao Kun and asked, "Is your mother from Luzhou?"

Cao Kun nodded: "Yes, Master, how do you know?"

"Chishui River, eternal flow, brewing wine, brewing oil, boatmen are bitter, boatmen are worried, fortunately, there is no shortage of wine and oil. This is the number of the ship I heard in Luzhou in the early days, and it is said that every local household will make soy sauce to eat, but few people should make it now, right?"

Cao Kun nodded: "It's really not much, but it's not that no one does it, there are many families in the mountains, it's not easy to buy daily necessities, and I still like to process soy sauce by myself." But the taste is ......."

Wei Junming smelled the soy sauce again, and the taste was indeed very ordinary.

Of course, not everyone in the countryside can make home-brewed soy sauce as delicious as the one filmed in the documentary, and this kind of soy sauce with a general taste is the most common home-brewed soy sauce in rural areas.

Of course, the wisdom of the people is infinite, although the soy sauce they brew does not taste good, but everyone has figured out the practice of copying soy sauce in their lives.

In this way, soy sauce has been revitalized.

This soy sauce even moved the old man's heart.

"This sauce is really pure, Cao Kun, tell your mother, let her make more in the future, and our restaurant will use this soy sauce when we go back." ”

Yu Ke could see that everyone was very interested in this soy sauce, so he came over and smelled it, and suddenly almost retched.

"What a weird taste, can you eat this?"

Xu Zhuo handed her a tissue: "If you process it, you won't have this smell, I just ate a bowl of bacon stewed rice at Brother Kun's mother's house, the taste is simply amazing, she uses this kind of soy sauce." ”

When Yu Keke heard this, her resistance to this soy sauce was reduced a lot, but she still had lingering palpitations.

The old man saw it very clearly: "This kind of soy sauce is the same as the soybean sauce in the Northeast, the taste is relatively simple, except for the salty sauce smell, there is no other taste." ”

"But there are many ways to eat Tohoku miso as a dipping sauce, stewed meat, and cooking. The reason for this is that the miso has a pure flavor and can be mixed and matched in any way. ”

"Now this soy sauce is the same as the miso sauce, and you can mix it into whatever flavor you want, which is very convenient. ”

Then the old man and Wei Junming took a look at the bacon brought by Cao Kun, and the quality was excellent, much stronger than the mass-produced ones sold in supermarkets.

Wei Junming looked regretful, and couldn't stop complaining to Cao Kun: "Why didn't you say it earlier when you have such good ingredients at home......?"
