Chapter 497: White Burning Confinement
"Yes, that's it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info cuts it slowly, anyway, there is time. ”
"Liu Mang, he just cleaned the kitchen and had to peel such a big basket of potatoes, isn't he too tired, after all, he is still a teenager. Li Ruonan asked.
The school began to have winter vacation, so Li Ruonan took Ding Baoer and Ding Beier upstairs to play.
As soon as Ding Baoer came upstairs, he plunged into the kitchen, and Liu Mang simply taught him in advance to start learning to cook.
"Who didn't come here like this?" Liu Mang disagreed: "Hard-working, diligent and studious, self-motivated, able to be humble and humble, able to respect and love teachers." In a word, if you want to learn a craft, you must first learn to be a person. ”
"It's okay, Master, I'll finish shaving. Ding Baoer carried a small bench and held a potato in his hand, and said.
Ding Bao'er's voice made Li Ruonan's heart melt: "Then you cut it slowly, rest for a while when you are tired, and I will make you something to eat later." ”
"Okay. ”
"Remember, none of you are allowed to help him, and during this time, if you leave any swear and tiring work to him, you will be called by a small worker. Liu Mang said to the other chefs in the kitchen.
"We get it, Master Liu Mang. Everyone nodded, looking at Ding Bao'er's eyes, as if they had seen a little sheep to be slaughtered.
Although Ding Baoer has some talent, she is still a lot worse than herself, so she can only make up for it by hard work. Liu Mang did this completely for his good, and since he decided to embark on this path, he had to go through some training.
There is no such thing as a free lunch, and there is no craft that comes out of thin air – that's a universal truth.
"Liu Mang, where are we going today?" came to the upstairs parking lot, Li Ruonan opened the car door and asked.
"Let's go to the slaughterhouse today. Liu Mang sat in the co-pilot and replied.
During this period of time, one thing after another, Liu Mang couldn't spare time at all. This also leads to a lot of tasks released by the space that do not have time to complete.
Now that I finally have time, it's time to complete some tasks and earn exchange value.
"Slaughterhouse?" Li Ruonan was a little surprised: "What ingredients do you want, just say no to the purchase, why do you have to buy them yourself?"
"Oh, they can't buy the ingredients for my dish. Liu Mang replied.
"What dish?" Li Ruonan immediately became interested. During this time, her favorite thing is to taste the new dishes that Liu Mang tried to make.
"Burning and forbidden. ”
"What kind of dish is this?" Li Ruonan was even more strange, he had never even heard of this name.
"This is how the forbidden belly is written. Liu Mang smiled and pulled Li Ruonan's hand and wrote in her palm.
"Doesn't the forbidden belly refer to a woman? It means that a man monopolizes a woman, and it is called a forbidden belly. ”
"Not really. Liu Mang shook his head: "Forbidden is" forbidden ". 脔 means "meat". It is forbidden to touch the meat, which can be said to be the most beautiful meat. This allusion originates from the time of Emperor Yuan of the Jin Dynasty, and the record on the "Biography of Xie An" is attached to the Book of Jin and the Biography of Xie An. In the early days of the establishment of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the economy was backward and the material was poor. The food is small in quantity and coarse in quality, and it is difficult for dignitaries and nobles to eat meat, and pork is regarded as a treasure. Every time they got a pig, they cut off a piece of meat from the pig's neck and gave it to Emperor Jin Yuan.
They believe that the meat on the pig neck is abnormally fat, it is the best in the treasured food, only the Jin Yuan Emperor is worthy of tasting, and the ministers and officials dare not enjoy it privately, so it was called forbidden by the people at that time. ”
Li Ruonan sighed with emotion: "But pork neck meat is a treasure in those days when materials were scarce, and now it's nothing, as for running by yourself?"
"This piece of meat is at the bottom of the pig's neck, and a pig is only the size of a leaf, so to make a dish, you have to have dozens of pigs. It just so happens that I'm fine, so I might as well take a run. ”
"Yes, I'm only responsible for driving and eating anyway. Li Ruonan laughed and started the car.
The car drove towards the slaughterhouse in the northern district of Koto City. Because of the supply, the manager of the slaughterhouse is very familiar with Liu Mang, so he has already called in advance.
Liu Mang guessed that the reason why there is this dish in the kitchen god space should be that the ingredients of this dish are difficult to find.
Come to think of it, the ancients certainly did not have such conditions to slaughter so many pigs at one time, so this seemingly simple 'white burning forbidden belly' has become a rare delicacy.
The reward given by the space is 100,000 points of emotion and 5 points of exchange. This reward is not bad, better than nothing.
"Ruonan, you just wait in the car, don't go in this workshop. Coming to the slaughterhouse, Liu Mang said to Li Ruonan.
"It's okay, I've never been to a place like this before, and I think it's a little scary. Li Ruonan was a little pleased with Liu Mang's thoughtfulness and replied.
Liu Mang walked into the workshop of the slaughterhouse, and a strong smell of blood came over, making him can't help but wrinkle his nose.
"Mr. Liu, please come here!" a man with shiny hair and a wrinkled Brazilian outfit stepped forward.
"Mr. Jia, hello!"
The man in the suit is Jia Weiping, and he is the manager of this slaughterhouse.
The pigs used by Liu Manglou upstairs were not taken from this slaughterhouse, they were native pigs raised by Li Ruonan's breeding base, but the slaughter was made in this slaughterhouse, so although everyone had not met, they still had business contacts.
However, the soil pigs used in Liu Mang's restaurant are only three a day, and this 'white burning forbidden belly' is a fresh one, and the quantity is not enough at all, so it has to be replaced by bred pigs.
"Mr. Liu, everything you want is ready. Jia Weiping lifted a plastic bag from the table: "It's all pigs that were just killed today, and the meat is still hot." ”
"Make no mistake, is it the meat from the place I said?" Liu Mang opened the bag and checked it.
"Of course you're not wrong, don't you just want winged meat. Jia Weiping smiled: "I didn't expect you to be really an expert." Everyone in our industry knows that the meat in this area is the best, more tender than plum strips!"
As soon as he heard Jia Weiping say this, Liu Mang knew that he was not mistaken. Because the other name of this forbidden belly is winged meat.
"Then thank you, Mr. Jia. ”
"You're welcome, just tell me if you want to eat in the future, there's no need to run in person. Jia Weiping said.
"Okay, then I'll go first, and you can just find my restaurant's purchase account when you go back." ”
"Understood. ”
"Got it?" asked Li Ruonan, returning to the car.
"Well, got it. Liu Mang shook the bag in his hand.
"Let me see what the meat is like in this place. Li Ruonan opened the bag curiously.
In the bag were dozens of pieces of pink and lean meat, about the same size as camphor leaves, and at most dozens of grams.
"This dish is really exquisite, a pig is so small, no wonder the ancients regarded it as a forbidden belly. ”
"So, there are some famous dishes that you can't eat if you want to, like this one can't be sold in restaurants at all, because the ingredients are really rare. Not to mention the phoenix tongue and dragon scale nest, it is simply hurtful. ”
"What kind of dish is the phoenix tongue and dragon scale nest?" Li Ruonan asked curiously.
"The phoenix tongue refers to the tongue of the parrot, while the dragon scale nest refers to the piece of flesh the size of a fingernail under the fourth scale of the Yellow River carp. Think about it, how many parrots and carp you have to kill to make these two dishes!"
"It's cruel!" Li Ruonan couldn't help frowning: "Is this cooking? ”
"These two dishes were conceived by those dignitaries and nobles in ancient times. However, this 'white burning forbidden belly' can be eaten, and those pigs are to be killed anyway. ”
"Well, there's no psychological burden to think about it that way. ”
Liu Mang and Li Ruonan returned upstairs, and Ding Baoer was still there to peel potatoes seriously. His demeanor was focused, and he didn't notice the arrival of the two of them at all.
"Ahem!" Liu Mang coughed.
Ding Bao'er raised her head: "Master, you're back." ”
"When you're tired, take a break. Liu Mang looked at the potatoes at the bottom of the basket and nodded secretly.
"It's okay, I'm not tired, just one more bit and I'll be done. Ding Bao'er smiled innocently, revealing her two front teeth.
"Alright, you're done cutting and bring Belle to the kitchenette and help me try a new dish. ”
"Okay!"
Liu Mang went to the small kitchen specially set aside for himself and poured out the pork in the plastic bag.
"Liu Mang, do you want to help?" asked Li Ruonan.
"No, you just have to wait and eat. ”
Rinse the pork with cold water to remove any blood, and then wipe off the water with a clean and sterilized towel.
One of the most important features of this dish is that the pork does not need to be marinated in advance like dishes such as 'boiled pork slices'.
The meat quality of this place is very special, it is not like the loin is all lean, but the meat fat is evenly distributed like snowflakes, the meat is tender, the throat is refreshing and smooth, and the mouth strength is moderate.
If it is marinated beforehand, it will ruin the texture and will not reflect the flavor of the meat.
"Searing" is a technique of Cantonese cooking, boiling water or soup to blanch raw food, which can be called "burning". Don't look at it literally, it's simple, but if you think that blanching is just boiling it in boiling water and taking it out, it would be very wrong.
The method of cautery is roughly divided into two categories, one is the original cautery method and the other is the "metamorphic" cautery method. The original material can maintain the original umami, and Guangzhou people often use this method to cook Jiwei shrimp and cabbage sum. "Deterioration" burning method, in order to be refreshing, before the burning of the material to process the treatment, such as pickling, "beer", etc., to make it cool, and then burn. Goose intestines, pork loin, etc. are commonly cooked in this way.
Liu Mang's current 'white burning forbidden belly' is made of the former, in addition to controlling the heat, it is more important to make a dipping water with the ingredients in the mouth.
Pour a whole bottle of light soy sauce into a small pot with a deep bottom, then add rock sugar, green onion knots, ginger slices, bring to a boil and simmer over low heat.
Wait until the green onion knot and ginger slices have changed color and the flavor has penetrated into the light soy sauce, then scoop them up and let them cool for later use.
Fresh mint leaves are mashed into juice, put in a dipping dish, then pour in the boiled soy sauce, then pour in a little aged vinegar, add a few drops of sesame oil, and the dipping dish is ready to be eaten with pork.
Then put a pot on the stove and bring water to a boil. Add the white wine and a spoonful of raw oil.
The function of liquor is to remove the fish, and the role of raw oil is to wrap a layer of oil film on the skin of the ingredients, so that the moisture of the ingredients will not overflow and maintain its freshness and tenderness to the greatest extent.
This method is not limited to making this 'blanched forbidden belly', but also applies to ingredients such as choy sum and kiwei shrimp.
First, the pork in the pot that has been cut into leaves by the butcher is broken up by hand to prevent it from sticking to the pot, and then while the water is boiling, immediately pour it into the pot and stir quickly with a frying spoon.
The difficulty of this dish is that the ingredients are difficult to find, and the method belongs to the entry level, which is the easiest since Liu Mang completed the space task.
The pieces of meat only stayed in the pot for more than ten seconds, and when the color turned white and the texture became hard, Liu Mang immediately scooped it up and placed it evenly on the plate.
"Is that all right?" asked Li Ruonan.
"Well, okay. Wait until it cools a little before eating. ”
"Master. At this time, Ding Baoer walked in with Ding Beier, who was wearing two pigtails.
"Bao'er, lead your sister to wash her hands and get ready to eat. Liu Mang commanded.
"Oh. Ding Bao'er answered, pulled Ding Bei'er to the pool, and helped her wash her hands.
"Then you're welcome. After waiting for a while, Li Ruonan took the lead in picking up chopsticks and took a piece of meat from the plate. Dip it in a saucer with water and put it in your mouth.
"How's it going?" Liu Mang hurriedly asked.
"Hmm...... Hmm......" Li Ruonan's eyes closed slightly, and he chewed: "I can't tell you how I feel, I just know that it's very delicious!
Compared to the melt-in-your-mouth tenderloin, this forbidden meat is a little more chewy, and with a little fat, so that the taste is not so pure and lean as woody.
Chew it gently, and when the tip of the tongue touches the meat, it is accompanied by the refreshing feeling of mint added to the dipping sauce, which is really addictive.
Yes, no wonder even Su Shi once said: "Taste one of the belly, like two chelates before chewing frost." Liu Mang also took a piece and put it into his mouth, and he was also full of praise.
He had eaten pork neck before, but he had never deliberately removed the piece of meat under the pork neck to make a dish. When I taste it now, I really feel like I'm late at night.
At this time, the pleasant voice of the space also sounded in Liu Mang's mind.
[The task is completed, the reward sentiment value is 100,000 points, the exchange value is 5 points, and the side quest is opened.] 】
"What's the side quest? I'll check it out later. Liu Mang thought secretly in his heart.
"Come, too, and see how it tastes. Ding Baoer, who had washed her hands, pulled her sister over.
"Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious! It's delicious! Master, what kind of meat is this?"
"This is a piece of meat under the neck of the pig, and the name is 'forbidden belly'......" Liu Mang took the trouble to explain.
As soon as the tender pork was in her mouth, Ding Bei'er smiled so much that her eyes narrowed.
"Really...... It's so blissful. ”
