Chapter Twenty-Five: Do It Yourself
Li Liang's habits are different from everyone else's, he still prefers lean meat, pork ribs and offal, such as pork belly, pig heart, large intestine and the like. Especially the large intestine of pigs, this thing doesn't look very dirty, but many people like to eat, everyone in Hek County has the habit of making kimchi, and the washed large intestine is stir-fried with their own pickled sour radish, which is particularly delicious. Li Liang hadn't eaten it for a long time since he was reborn, and he felt a little drooling when he thought about it.
The queue became shorter and shorter, and finally it was Li Liang's turn, and at this time there was no more fat on the meat stall.
"Young man, what kind of meat do you want to buy, the fat is sold out today!" said the meat seller.
"Master, cut me two catties of lean meat, and another catty of large intestines!" Li Liang said, and then handed over a few banknotes and 3 catties of meat tickets.
"Okay!" According to Li Liang's request, the master cut the meat for him, retrieved the change for Li Liang, and handed Li Liang a pound of meat tickets, explaining "Young man, the large intestine doesn't need meat tickets!"
It turns out that everyone doesn't like to buy large intestines, so in order to sell them out quickly, the meat union sales department usually does not require meat tickets for animal offal and the like.
Li Liang packed the meat in the basket, and went to the market to buy some small vegetables and bean sprouts, it is now July, it is the season of the year when a large number of melons, fruits and vegetables are on the market, and when he saw the watermelon and pear melon on the stall, he picked a big watermelon and a few fragrant pear melons. There were no drinks at home, so they went to the store of the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy five bottles of small champagne. At this time, the small champagne is not the same as the champagne of later generations, at this time the small champagne is more like a soft drink, sweet and angry, especially delicious, and it is a sweet memory of many post-80s.
When the two of them got home, Li Liang took a bucket from the kitchen, pressed out half a bucket of cold water from the pressurized water well in the yard, and soaked the watermelon, pear melon, and small champagne.
Wang Chao and Zeng Xi were chatting in the living room, Zhang Junjie was bored eating melon seeds alone, and when he saw Li Liang and his sister Chenchen coming back, he ran out of the living room to help.
"Brother Liang, I'll help you wash the vegetables!" Zhang Junjie took the initiative to say.
"Okay, Li Liang put the small green vegetables he bought into the water basin. Then he said to Zhang Junjie, "Junjie, you wash the little greens in this pot, pay attention to wash the mud and sand! ”
"Okay, no problem! I'm washing the vegetables at home!" replied Zhang Junjie.
"Liangzi, you go wash the large intestine, I'll cut the meat!" Chen Chen said, the large intestine has a bad smell, she has never liked it.
"Well, then you be careful, be careful not to cut your hands!" Li Liang knew Chenchen's habit, after the two got married in his previous life, Chenchen knew that Li Liang loved to eat large intestines, although she didn't like to eat it, she would often buy some back. At this time, Li Liang took the initiative to wash the large intestine.
The best way to wash the large intestine is to find a chopstick, push the outer skin from the opening of the intestine inward, and turn the inside of the intestine to the outside. Then add some flour or cornstarch and salt to the basin, add a little water, and rub the pig's large intestine vigorously and repeatedly, until a large amount of glue is produced. Then rinse with clean water. Then add a little water with cooking wine or white vinegar, scrub again, and finally rinse it off. Li Liang has been washing the large intestine for decades, and he has long been familiar with it, and he soon washed a pound of large intestine white and clean.
He went to move out of the jar of his mother Wang Xiujuan's pickled cabbage, and fished out two radishes from it, and the soaked sour radish exuded an attractive sour smell.
According to Li Liang's request, Chenchen had already cut two catties of lean meat into half of the shredded meat and half of the sliced meat. Li Liang is going to make a boiled pork slice, and then make a shredded meat soup with shredded meat and small green vegetables, plus a stir-fried large intestine. Three dishes and one soup, the key is that the ingredients are sufficient, enough for five teenagers to eat and drink.
Li Liang didn't plan to cook, he was going to order some noodles later, and the shredded pork soup was just a delicious shredded pork noodle. In addition, everyone will drink some champagne, eat some food, drink some soup, and eat some melons and fruits, and that's it.
By the time Li Liang had cut the large intestine and radish, Chenchen had already washed the pot. Li Liang's pot is a large iron pot with a diameter of about 60 or 70 centimeters.
Chenchen sat on a small stool in the stove, there was a fire, she grinned and said, "Liangzi, I haven't heard of you stir-frying before?
"Haha, I didn't show my face easily at that time!" Li Liang said, "Let me show you my Li Liang's cooking skills today." ”
While he was talking, Li Liang quickly used cornstarch to stir the meat slices and shredded meat separately to thicken them, so that the meat would be smoother and taste better.
Li Liang first poured half a spoonful of water into the pot, put in the washed bean sprouts after the water boiled, blanched the bean sprouts, took out the bean sprouts, served them in a soup bowl, and then scooped out all the water in the pot.
Then when the pot is hot, pour in rapeseed oil, Li Liang quickly put the crushed garlic, ginger and peppercorns into the pot, and then dug a spoonful of Z County bean paste, and when the red oil is fried, he added half a spoonful of water, and put salt, monosodium glutamate and a little soy sauce to adjust the taste. After the water boils, gently pinch the marinated meat slices into the boiling water with chopsticks one by one, and then cook over high heat until the meat slices turn white. Pour the boiled meat slices into the soup bowl with bean sprouts, then put 2 taels of oil into the pot and heat it, pour it on the meat slices, and sprinkle some green onions, and a boiled meat slice with color and flavor is ready!
"Wow, Li Liang, you are so amazing!" Chenchen lit a fire in the stove, watching such a dish with full color and flavor coming out, and praised it sincerely, "However, it seems that there is too much oil used in this dish, and Aunt Xiujuan will definitely talk about you when she comes back!"
"It's okay, eat once in a while!" Li Liang said unconcernedly.
After making this boiled pork slic, the next step is to stir-fry the large intestine and the green vegetable broth, which are simpler than boiled meat slices. It only took about half an hour for Li Liang to finish the dish. Pouring two spoonfuls of water into the pot again, Li Liang brought the dishes to the living room, and beckoned Chenchen, Junjie, Wang Chao, and Zeng Xi to sit down and eat first.
Pouring champagne into everyone's cups, Li Liang said: "Everyone has come to make this glass, may our friendship last forever!"
The teenagers raised their glasses one after another, and Wang Chao openly showed his affection, and took the initiative to clip a piece of boiled meat and put it in Zeng Xi's bowl.
Li Liang quipped: "Wang Chao, this is not good, all of us sitting here are minors!"
Zeng Xi was a little embarrassed by Li Liang's teasing, and his face was flushed.
Wang Chao shot back thickly: "Zeng Xike and I are pure friendship between junior high school classmates for three years, how can it be as dirty as you think, you can also give Zhang Chen some food!"
