Chapter 352: Salt Theft

!โ€œ Hehe, if you want to make the braised meat delicious, first of all, the marinade, that is, the so-called thousand-year-old brine is more expensive than gold, that's the reason, Brother Dazhu, you have to see the materials and boiling methods I use clearly."

Zhou Yi took out the same materials used and stacked them on the vegetable table: "I am according to the ingredients of your pot, if the pot is small, the ingredients can be reduced according to the proportion, and if it is large, it can be increased;

"Brother, you slow down and say o, goose remember slowly"

Zhou Dazhu was holding a yellow skin

I remember the craftsmanship of the old Zhou family diligently, and he has been thinking about it for many years

"Xiao Yi, don't you wrap these materials in a gauze bag?"

Zhou Maotong watched from the side, and was also recalling the boiling method that his father taught him back then, but he remembered this step, which should be wrapped in a thousand clean sand cloth, and then boiled the brine with white sugar and salt, but after Zhou Yifen stacked the materials, he began to wash the iron pot of Zhou Dazhu's house with hot water, and he didn't seem to have the meaning of wrapping these materials, so he couldn't help but be very curious

"Dad, I have improved the craftsmanship of my ancestors during this time, and only in this way can the materials be perfectly matched, so that the boiled brine can be turned into fresh and fragrant! Otherwise, how could I blanch the pork just now? Because the so-called meat is the source of the freshest and most fragrant meat in my opinion!"

Zhou Yi is nonsense, but the old man likes to listen to it, if he wants to say that he has forgotten all the craftsmanship passed down by his ancestors, then he still has face? The old man nodded again and again when he heard this: "Well, yes!

After the iron pot is washed and cleaned, it is poured into the pure snow water, although the village also has tap water, but the people who live on the Loess Plateau all the year round still have the habit of digging water to store snow water, in the second snow of each year, dial off the snow skin to take the snow of a thousand clean and store it in the cellar, and when it is used, the ice is bright and cool, the farmer produces a little sweet, and it is used to cook tea and cook vegetables are first-class, which is much better than tap water

The length of the pine wood was sent into the stove by the thickness of the small arm, and when licked by the flames, the oil seeped out of the pine, and the kitchen suddenly burst with the smell of pine, and the big iron pot began to make a 'zizi' sound; as the water temperature gradually rose, the inner wall began to hang blisters, densely arranged in a neat manner, like an army waiting for the review

"Brother Dazhu, you have to see clearly, now it is a blister hanging on the wall, at this time it is clove mountain nai grass cardamom, because these three kinds of Chinese medicine are most afraid of fierce fire, the current water temperature is just if they are wrapped in a sand cloth bag in advance, although as the water temperature gradually rises, it can also release the smell of medicine, but it will be heated unevenly due to the influence of other ingredients, and it cannot be used to the fullest, you see how I make it!"

Saying that, Zhou Yi picked up these three herbs, slipped in against the edge of the pot, picked up the frying spoon again, stirred it gently clockwise, and when the first water bone was raised, he immediately drew off the firewood, and only used the embers in the stove to continue to heat it and stirred it for two minutes before lifting the frying spoon to calm the water surface, and then using a straw colander to take these three herbs out of the pot and put them into the sandbag that had been prepared long ago

Then put the pine wood into the bottom of the stove again, but this time the fire was vigorous, and when the water bones were raised, the green onion and ginger were thrown into it, but it was picked up in the water

In this way, Zhou Yi controlled the fire, while staring at the water surface, put in different ingredients at different stages, and the techniques were also different, sometimes it was directly thrown into the water, just let the boiling water boil, sometimes it was slowly slipped into the water, and at the same time, it was necessary to use a frying spoon to break the water to cool down, and the clockwise or counterclockwise stirring techniques were full of tricks and changes, and the important steps would be missed if you were a little distracted

Zhou Dazhu stared, there was no omission of a program, and he asked questions at any time when he encountered something he didn't understand, Zhou Yi patiently answered them one by one, and unconsciously, all the ingredients and Chinese medicine went through this pot of snow water, and this pot of snow water gradually turned into a yellow-brown sรจ, emitting a faint fragrance

At this moment, although it has not really been boiled into marinade, Zhou Dazhu is admiring the five-body cast on the ground, although the aroma is not strong enough, but the taste is too positive, if you wait until the marinade is boiled, what will the fragrance look like?

After Zhou Yi carefully skimmed off some impurities on the snow water, he poured it into the large casserole of Zhou Dazhu's house, added sugar and dark soy sauce in turn, and put the material package wrapped in Qianjing gauze back into the pot Zhou Dazhu wrote down the amount of white sugar and dark soy sauce, and said strangely: "Big brother, why don't you put salt?"

"Not in a hurry to put salt is the most critical step, called the finishing touch, you have to wait until the dark soy sauce is completely integrated with all kinds of materials before you can put it in, if you put it too early, it will inevitably destroy all the saltiness of the soy sauce itself, and destroy the layering of 'fresh and salty'"

Zhou Yi took a small yellow clay stove, put some charcoal, and did not rush to put the pot after igniting it, but waited until the open flame of the charcoal disappeared, then put the casserole on it, and said with a smile: "Brother Dazhu, the next thing is your business, we have to use charcoal to bake this pot of brine, you are responsible for adding charcoal, but there is no open flame;

"Oh, what are you going to do, big brother?"

Looking at the casserole without even a trace of heat, Zhou Dazhu was secretly worried that he could not use an open flame to bake this pot of brine completely with charcoal, and he could not use an open flame

"I'm running all the way, and I was poured more than two catties of wine by you just now, so I want to take a nap Brother Dazhu first, you have to take care of it, if you use an open flame or brine and you can't find it in time, this pot of brine will be ruined."

Zhou Yi yawned and said, "Dad, Mom, let's go rest."

"Hey"

Zhou Maotong followed Zhou Yi out of the kitchen, pulled his old son's sleeve and said, "Xiao Yi, your big brother didn't offend you, right?"

"No?" Zhou Yi was stunned: "Why do you ask that?"

"No?"

Zhou Maotong glared: "Without you, you are tired of stupid children playing with such a thick casserole, or use wood to darken the fire, I estimate that it will be difficult to bake this pot of brine when the sun sets, aren't you bullying the honest?"

"Hehe, Dad, you misunderstood, I'm not bullying him, but teaching him" Zhou Yi smiled: "The so-called thousand-year-old brine is like a fairy finger, which can turn stones into gold and boil the brine according to my method, and it may not be worse than the thousand-year-old brine, the most important of which is the previous technique, and the second is to master the heat of boiling, how can he firmly remember Zhuo without experiencing it himself."

"I see"

Zhou Maotong frowned, and looked at his son very puzzled: "Who did you learn this from?

"Didn't I say it, I didn't have anything else in Yunshui Mountain, so I was left to tinker and eat, this is what I pondered myself" Zhou Yi blushed

"Well, it's my son's ability anyway, and I don't bother to ask" Zhou Maotong smiled

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, can he still see that Zhou Yi has unspeakable secrets? Not to mention the craftsmanship of cooking, it is the medical skills, since he played acupuncture and massage for his old couple, he feels younger and younger, what do you say about young couples and old companions, he and his old wife are now back to being 'husband and wife' The magic of the son is that he sees it in his eyes and hides it in his heart, and he can pretend to be stupid

The cave has already been cleaned up, even the bedding on the bed is new, warm and soft, very comfortable Zhou Yi fell asleep for a while, the dream was full of women appeared, a flash was willow catkins and a flash was Yang Cai, and finally a pair of slender legs wearing foundation and floral exercise pants appeared in front of him, kicking him hard

Zhou Yi stretched out his arms to greet him, but he heard a painful cry of 'ouch', and when he opened his eyes, it was Zhou Dazhu who looked at him aggrievedly with panda eyes: "Big brother, why are you still playing dream boxing?"

"Uh, I'm sorry, Brother A, Brother Dazhu, is the brine boiling?"

Zhou Yi also felt strange, since he got the almighty idle system, his physical fitness is far from comparable, not to mention nightmares, even when he dreams, what's wrong with this?

Looking up at the outside of the cave, I saw that the stars were full of stars, and the bright moonlight shone on the yellow earth as if it was covered with a layer of silver frost, it was already night, and it was estimated that the pot of brine should be boiled

"It's o, there is white gas, and it starts to squeak" Zhou Dazhu sighed: "Big brother, it makes me tired"

"Hehe, isn't it going to be bitter and sweet? Let's go, Brother Dazhu, let's go to the kitchen."

When I entered the kitchen, the casserole on the yellow clay stove was already 'squeaking', and the bursts of white gas were covered with the lid of the pot, and sure enough, it had been opened Zhou Yi didn't use a cloth to wrap his hands, he opened the lid directly, waited until the heat dissipated, probed with chopsticks, and found that the pot of brine had been broken off by one-third, so he nodded and grabbed the salt and sprinkled it into the pot: "This pot of brine has a catty and a half appearance, and the salt is one or two dollars, Brother Dazhu, you have to remember."

Zhou Dazhu opened his mouth and gasped heavily, as if he hadn't heard his words at all

Big brother didn't brag about it? This is really the finishing touch! Why does this pot of brine become so fragrant as soon as the salt is put down?

In the hot mist, an indescribable fresh fragrance came to his face, Zhou Dazhu took a few puffs greedily, only to feel that the 108,000 sweat pores were opened, and suddenly felt an itch in his nose, so he hurriedly turned his head and sneezed heavily: "It's too fresh, it's too fragrant."

"What does it smell so good, it's so fresh!"

"Old man, it's so fragrant, I didn't say anything about you!"

The lights in the cave where He Xiuxiu was located turned on

The lights in the cave where Zhou Maotong's old couple were also lit up

The children jumped out of bed early, and they didn't even bother to put on their shoes, so they came one by one to smell the fragrance
