Chapter 190: A Table of Food
The matter of going to the leader to communicate had nothing to do with Chen Xin, she took this opportunity to sneak away to find Sister Jia, and after saying hello to the other party, she went to the newly bought house of the second sister under the leadership of Sister Jia.
The second sister has not come back from the farmhouse in the middle of the mountain now, and there is only a grandmother who helps with cooking at home picking vegetables, and when she saw Sister Jia coming over with Chen Xin, she got up and looked at them blankly.
"Grandma, this is the third aunt of the Zhang family, who came to see the second sister. "I introduced Chen Xin, Sister Jia is back to work again, she still has a work meeting to start in the afternoon, and she can't chat with Chen Xin.
But when I left, I called the second sister, and she was on the way back, and it was estimated that it would be there in a while.
Chen Xin took a look at the environment here, the first floor was facing the street, and there was not much decoration, just a water of iron shutter doors, and then two foam boxes were placed on the right side of the door, in which some small dishes such as onions and garlic sprouts were planted. Then the one on the left next door is a pure house, and the one on the right has a grocery cabinet at the door, and a freezer, doing some snacks and other things.
Because the second sister was not at home, she was embarrassed to go upstairs to see, so she simply dragged a small stool, picked vegetables with her grandmother, and asked about the situation in the town by the way.
Grandma is an old man in the town, she originally had three sons and two daughters, but in the past ten years, she has sent away her wife and three sons, and now she lives in the town with her youngest daughter. The youngest daughter's family is in the pork business, and she is usually busy, so she doesn't have time to talk to the elderly, so she just comes out to do things, so she can find someone to chat with and earn some money.
"What does Grandma eat at night?" Chen Xin planned to borrow the second sister's stove to get some flavor characteristics for Professor Hu's family to taste, and when she called just now, she specially asked the second sister to bring some game back.
"I don't know, wow, I'll pick the dishes and talk about it. ”
"Grandma, why don't you go cook a pot of Donnie Yen rice later, and I'll get the dishes. ”
Grandma was a little hesitant, she didn't know what the relationship between the second sister and Chen Xin was, although Sister Jia said that they were relatives, but not all relatives had a good relationship with each other.
Chen Xin didn't care what Grandma was thinking, she opened the refrigerator just now and looked at it, except for a piece of frozen bacon, it was half-pulled pork belly and a chicken raised by the family. The pork belly is estimated to have a look of three or four catties, with clear layers of fat and thinness, and it is good meat at a glance. The pigs here are all grain pigs, and the meat quality is much better than the feed pigs on the pig farms in the city. Chen Xin planned to cut a piece of it and make a pot meat. Then just now the second sister said that there are hares and snake meat in the farmhouse, just burn a wood ginger sauerkraut rabbit, and then make a snake meat pot. After the bacon is cooked, it can be cut directly into the plate, just right to serve the wine.
She also called Sister Yan and her family over, estimating that this dish is not enough to eat, it is better to get another chicken and three to eat. Then two vegetarian dishes, mix three shreds and you're done.
The two stoves are turned on at the same time, and the pork belly is cooked on one side and the bacon on the other. The bacon should be cooked for a longer time, just enough for Chen Xin to process the pork belly and chicken separately for later use.
The pork belly is first boiled in white water, and after the blood water is out, it is cleaned, the water is boiled again in the pot, a little ginger pepper and bay leaves are added, a small glass of cooking wine is poured in, and then the pork belly is boiled in the water and boiled for 15 minutes. Here she took out the chicken, lowered the chicken wings and legs, and took out the internal organs stuffed in the chicken's stomach and thawed them. These are cleaned beforehand, and they can be cut into the pot after thawing.
Chicken thighs and chicken wings are rinsed with water and soaked for a while, wait until the pork belly is boiled, then put the chicken soaked in blood water to cook, take out the chicken wings after ten minutes, and wait for another five to ten minutes, the chopsticks can poke the chicken thighs and then they can be out of the pot. This is used for cold salad, and when it cools down, it can be cut directly into a plate and mixed with cold sauce.
When boiling chicken, the pork belly can be cooled to remove the gum from the meat, and then cut into half-centimeter-thick slices. The ingredients are garlic sprouts and bean paste, as well as homemade tempeh and soybean paste. Originally, authentic back-to-the-pot meat needed sweet noodle sauce, but people here don't like to eat sweet noodle sauce, so naturally there is no preparation at home, and Chen Xin is too lazy to buy it for a meal, and it is also delicious to make an improved version of back-to-the-pot meat.
Just after cutting the meat and putting it on a plate for later use, Second Sister Zhang came back, leading two big bags in her hands.
"Ouch, I'm exhausted. It just so happened that Uncle Zhou made a pot of spicy snake meat, I brought some for you, and the snake meat in this bag was also processed by Uncle Zhou, just look at it. I asked Uncle Zhou and the people in the kitchen, they don't know how to debon, will you? If not, just behead. ”
Of course Chen Xin will, in order to perfectly remove the bones of rabbits, she once worked with the master who sold rabbit meat in the vegetable market for a week and a half, and then she was barely qualified, and then after returning home, she also pondered and made it several times, although she could not reach the point where the master was at ease, but she would not say that the meat was cut to pieces in order to remove the bones.
This rabbit is very fat, Chen Xin checked it, peeled the skin and removed the internal organs, and it is estimated that it is more than four catties or five catties.
She found a sharp knife and sharpened it, starting from the chest and abdomen, and then skillfully peeled the flesh, picked off the tendons of the joints, first shaved the lower half of the leg bones, and then began to remove the ribs and back, and finally chopped the rabbit's head without using it.
In less than twenty minutes, the bones of the whole rabbit were cleaned. Second Sister Zhang rubbed her hands, but she didn't touch any bone slag.
"You're so good at this craft, do you want to teach me?"
"Okay, when Professor Hu is gone, I'll go with you to the farmhouse to teach you if I have time. Anyway, you have to cut the rabbit over there, otherwise you will have to eat so much rabbit meat here until you vomit. ”
After the rabbit has been bone-cut, the remaining net meat is cut into strips two fingers wide and one finger long, grasped well with starch, salt, pepper, cooking wine and five-spice powder and a little vegetable oil, and marinated for half an hour. Chen Xin also went to the Chinese medicine shop to buy two taels of tangerine peel and came back, and after cleaning it, she chose two pieces of granules cut into the size of a fingernail and put them into the rabbit meat to marinate together. The rest is torn into larger tangerine peel pieces, and put together with the chopped ginger and garlic, and of course, the local specialty chili pepper and the wood ginger that the mountain people love.
The taste of wood ginger is not to everyone's liking, but rabbit meat, especially hare meat, which has a strong smell, is particularly good when roasted with wood ginger. Coupled with the old sauerkraut as the base, the rabbit meat stewed out, Chen Xin can go down half of the pot by herself.
When marinating the rabbit, you can process the snake meat, and the snake meat pot is the most troublesome, just chop it directly on the casserole and stew it. However, if the snake meat pot wants to be delicious, it has to be paired with chicken, so the chicken that was cut down just now is cut in half and simmered with the snake meat in the pot on high heat, until the soup turns white.
The leftover chicken is cut into small pieces and made into the famous spicy chicken, just right to aperitif.
By the time everyone came out of the government and came to Second Sister Zhang's house under the leadership of Sister Yan, the table was already full of dishes.
