"If you want to make braised pork, I will have brine at home!" said the old man with a smile.

"Okay, I'll do it tomorrow!" Since the old man had brine at home, Zhang Feng hesitated for something, and immediately made a decision.

Then he divided the wild boar leg into seven or eight pieces, gave two pieces to the old man, kept two pieces at home, and sold the rest in the eldest sister's restaurant.

After all, the taste of pork is not very good, not only the fishy smell is heavy but the meat is old, so leave two pieces to beat the tooth sacrifice and try it.

…………

Early the next morning

Zhang Feng came to the old man's house.

"Old man, I'm here!"

"Xiaofeng is here, the brine is in the cupboard, I'll get it for you!" saw the old man Zhang Feng said with a smile.

"I've never made braised pork before, this is the first time!" Zhang Feng said with a smile while holding a large bowl of brine.

"Haha, it's okay, I can teach you!" The old man laughed happily when he heard this, and it just so happened that his hands were itchy, and it was fun to make braised pork.

Having been a chef all his life, cooking has become more than just a profession, for the old man, it has become an indispensable part of his life and his love.

If it weren't for the fact that he was old and could no longer cope with the intensity of the restaurant, the old man would definitely be willing to cook for a lifetime until the day he died.

came to Zhang Feng's house

While doing it, the old man taught Zhang Feng the secret of making braised pork.

"Hehe, look at it, it's actually very simple to make braised meat, especially when there is brine"

The old man cut the pig's head meat into palm-sized pieces, then boiled it in cold water, boiled it for a few minutes, took out the meat and cleaned it quickly, and then put it in the brine to cook it for a second time.

"Braised meat is braised meat, not braised herbs, don't believe in the so-called master's recipe, try to put as little medicine as possible! lest your medicinal taste cover up the meat taste." ”

"Also, the ratio of braised soup and braised meat should not be too bad, the proportion of water and braised meat should be balanced, and it is best if the braised soup is slightly less than braised meat!"

"Do you know what is the most important thing in making braised pork?" the old man smiled and asked Zhang Feng.

"Heat??" Zhang Feng replied with some uncertainty.

"Hehe, the heat is indeed very important, any ingredient, to ensure a moderate heat, too much, not the softer the better, too soft and rotten, the fibrous tissue of the braised meat is all destroyed, there is no chew at all, so, master the time of your braised meat, not too long. ”

"But I think that the most important thing to make braised pork is not the heat, but the salt, salt is the master of all flavors, if there is no salt, everything is given for free, and the appropriate increase in saltiness can increase the release and neutralization of the meat aroma!"

Hearing the old man's words, Zhang Feng suddenly realized that he also agreed with his words very much.

There is such a saying in Qingshan: no fragrant salt, no sesame oil

As the name suggests, if you don't have the taste of salt, you won't even eat meat, so you can see the important role of salt in cooking.

At this moment, five or six little duck hairy children ran into the kitchen with a grin.

"Wow, it's so fragrant, Grandpa Liu, crazy brother, what are you doing?"

"Hehe, fragrant, we're making braised pork dumplings!" Hearing the words of the little ones, the old man was very happy.

"Mm-hmm, Grandpa Liu's braised pork smells so good!" the little ones said as they swallowed.

"It's good to be fragrant, I'll give you a taste when I'll make it later!" the old man smiled and chatted with the little ones, with a smile on his face all the time.

The wild boar meat had been boiled in the brine for about twenty minutes, and the old man lifted the pot down and let the meat continue to soak in the brine, soak in more of the brine flavor.

"How long will Grandpa Liu wait?" the little gluttonous cats couldn't wait.

"Hehe, it's coming, just wait ten minutes or so!" the old man smiled lightly, and he liked a few little children tightly.

Hearing this, the little ones were obediently squatting on the side, staring at the braised meat in the pot without blinking, it was really a group of little gluttonous cats, Zhang Feng couldn't help but shake his head.

"Okay, okay, braised pork!" The old man took out the braised meat, cut the braised meat from the middle with a kitchen knife, and saw that the meat inside had already tasted, and immediately laughed.

Hee-hee!!There is braised pork to eat!!

The little ones were suddenly elated, jumping and jumping, and they couldn't be happy.

"Come on, one piece for each person!" the old man cut a small piece of braised meat for each of the little ones.

"How's it going?"

"Delicious!"

"It's not delicious!"

The little ones answered differently, and several boys thought it was delicious, only Mao Ya frowned and said bitterly that it was not delicious.

"Haha, forget if it's not delicious!" The old man would not be angry with the little hairy girl, but thought that such a little girl was more cute.

Zhang Feng couldn't help but laugh as he watched from the side.

"Let's go, let's go to the backyard to pick some shallots and coriander, eat braised pork with these condiments, it tastes better!"

Saying that, the old man walked to the backyard with five or six little children, and Zhang Feng hurriedly followed.

After the old man and the little children picked the coriander and shallots, Zhang Feng quickly cleaned them, then cut them into minced pieces, poured them into the prepared hot sauce, and after stirring, it became braised pork and dipped in water.

Of course, you can also directly mix hot sauce and coriander with sliced braised pork, which is actually the same and tastes very good.

At noon, the two families got together to eat, fragrant fried pork liver, and braised pork made by the old man, plus a bowl of refreshing vegetarian vegetables, everyone ate with relish, and the old man ate two large bowls of rice.

…………

Just after three o'clock in the afternoon, Uncle Dashan called Zhang Feng.

"Xiaofeng, you kid are at home, come to the river, I found a treasure here!"

"What baby?" Zhang Feng was taken aback and hurriedly asked,

"You'll know when you kid comes!," said the third uncle, and hung up the phone in a hurry.

Listening to the blind voice, Zhang Feng was a little stunned, but he quickly reacted, called Da Hei and walked outside the house.

"Mom, I'm going to the river!"

"What are you doing by the river?" Seeing her son's hurried appearance, Wang Guilan was curious.

"Uncle Dashan said that a treasure was found on the river beach, I'll go see the excitement!"

When Wang Guilan heard this, she was also very moved, and finally decided to go over and have a look, so Xiao Hei was arrested and became a left-behind child, not only to take care of the house but also to help the old master watch the stall, which is really pitiful.

"Xiaofeng, did you hear the news too?"

As soon as Zhang Feng walked to the entrance of the village, he met Uncle Xiaoqi and Uncle Erniu.

"Well, Uncle Dashan told me that he had dug up a treasure over there, but he didn't tell me the specifics! Do you know what you dug up?"

"It looks like a fossil!"

As soon as Zhang Feng heard that everyone was not clear, he didn't ask any more questions, anyway, it was not far from the place of the incident, just about a kilometer outside the village, and it was only three or five minutes to walk.
