Chapter 153: Lo Mein and Frozen Meat
Under the leadership of Dr. Wang, Mu Zhen and his family have been coming to this Divine Medicine Valley for more than ten days. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
There has been no progress in the treatment of ink efficacy. From the conversation between Dr. Wang and Uncle Kang, I vaguely knew that the conversation was gone.
"Tan Ran doesn't know martial arts, and now that he has disappeared, will he be in danger?"
Mu Zhen not only saved Tan Ran's life, but also had contact with him for a period of time, not to mention that his father-in-law's illness depended on him to treat, just such an excellent talent, Mu Zhen was also worried.
"It's okay, although Xiao Ran doesn't have martial arts, but that kid's brain is active, otherwise, at a young age, his medical skills will surpass me. Moreover, I guess they arrested Xiao Ran, and they must have asked Xiao Ran to spare their lives, not Xiao Ran's life. ”
Speaking of Tan Ran, Dr. Wang was full of pride, and then, his face changed, and he scolded with hatred: "Saying that he is smart and lazy, he is too lenient and has always connived at these people, if it weren't for the good Divine Medicine Valley, how could he become such a smoky miasma now." ”
Uncle Kang still admired Tan Ran very much, and when he heard Dr. Wang's accusation, he couldn't help but mention that he opened up, "When you left, Xiao Ran was only ten years old, and he had to manage things in the valley and learn medical skills, so it was already very good to be able to do this." ”
Tan Ran's feeling for Mu Zhen is also very good. However, no one is perfect, he has what he is good at, and naturally he also has shortcomings.
In Mu Zhen's opinion, Tan Ran belonged to those scientists in his previous life, and it was okay for him to do research, but he was not good at management.
After getting along for so many days, Mu Zhen also knows a little bit about the Divine Doctor Valley.
Here, it is the capable who prevails, and whoever has the best medical skills will be the lord of the valley.
In fact, Mu Zhen really wants to say: His good medical skills do not mean that he is good at management, looking at Tan Ran's appearance, it is estimated that the old knowledge belongs to the type of chasing ducks on the shelf.
She wanted to suggest that the valley lord should conduct an electoral system, but considering that she was an outsider, it was better not to meddle in other people's affairs.
Therefore, Mu Zhen just said a few good words for Tan Ran, just like Uncle Kang, and did not speak about the unreasonable system in the valley.
Tan Ran was originally Dr. Wang's proud apprentice, and the reason why he blamed him was also because he was worried about him. If it weren't for his mismanagement, he wouldn't have put his family in danger right now.
"Okay, the old man won't do anything to him, look at the nervous appearance of one or two of you."
Saying that, waving his hand, he and Uncle Kang went out again.
In the past two days, Dr. Wang and Uncle Fu have been looking for Tan Ran's whereabouts in private.
Mu Zhen has nothing to do these days, and she pulls Mo Xiaocai and turns around this Divine Medicine Valley. Of course, the premise is that you can't let the group of people who came to find fault last time see it.
I had nothing to do, Mu Zhen's hands were itching again, and a few days ago, I saw a lot of bacon smoked in Uncle Kang's house, and I suddenly remembered a very delicious snack.
I've had enough shopping, so I might as well stay at home and eat today.
The so-called bacon is smoked meat (my hometown does this), the old knowledge is to smear fresh pork with thick salt, and then marinate until all the salt turns into water.
Then the marinated meat is generally hung in the stove room and smoked, and by the beginning of spring next year, it will be almost smoked.
Mu Zhen moved to the stairs, took down the bacon hanging on the wall, and smelled the smell, it is estimated that it has been more than a year.
This bacon smoking method is the simplest of the above.
The only function is to store the meat for a longer time, and if you want it to taste good, you still have to put some effort.
First of all, when marinating the meat, not only salt should be added, such as peppercorns, chili peppers, anise, etc., these condiments are essential, grind into noodles, and marinate them in the meat together with salt.
Then there is the choice of smoked trees.
Generally, the meat smoked from the tree has a smoke smell, and it is best to smoke it with cypress.
Whether it is a branch of a cypress tree or a trunk, it is burned with a fragrant smell.
Therefore, the meat smoked from cypress trees is called Zhenzong, and you can't smell the slightest smell of smoke.
Although the method of smoking this bacon is rough, as long as it is washed clean and boiled, it will have no taste.
There were only three pieces of bacon left on the wall, and Mu Zhen cut off the skin of the three pieces of bacon, and then cut another finger-wide piece of bacon.
Although there is salt castration, the storage time of bacon is longer, but this is limited to fatty meat, and after a long time, lean meat will also grow meat worms.
The snacks I want to make today mainly rely on the skin of the meat.
Mu Zhen asked Mo Xiaocai to sharpen the knife quickly, and then came a piece of pigskin.
To be honest, Mu Zhen is also a foodie herself, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to remember so many delicious recipes.
And Mo Xiaocai likes the feeling of Mu Zhen when she studies and eats, and the whole person seems to be very lively, just listening to her confident voice makes people curious about what she is studying.
Therefore, what Mu Zhen asked him to do, he was still very cooperative.
After sharpening the knife, he carefully handed the handle to Mu Zhen and said, "This knife is too fast, the pigskin is hard, so I'll have a slice." ”
The feeling of being taken care of is always extremely happy, although Mo Xiao couldn't see it, Mu Zhen still raised a smile at him, "Xianggong, it's okay, I can do it, when you slice the skin of meat, don't bring fat, your eyes are inconvenient, and after you find Tan Ran and cure your eyes, these jobs will be handed over to you, okay?" ”
Although she was not at ease, Mo Xiaocai also knew that she couldn't help her, so she had to instruct again: "Okay, you go a little more carefully and take your time." ”
"Okay, I'll be careful." For Mo Xiaocai's instructions, Mu Zhen was not too long-winded, and she was full of answers.
More than a year of bacon, not to mention oil, black and very hard.
The snack that Mu Zhen wants to make is the legendary frozen meat.
Frozen meat is boiled with pork skin, and the requirements for pork skin are still very picky.
You can't leave a little fat on the skin, otherwise the frozen meat cooked will be greasy and the taste will not be good.
The skin of the three pieces of pork was all sliced, and Mu Zhen was tired and sweating profusely.
In fact, it is best to wash bacon with alkali, but in this era, it seems that there is no alkali yet.
If there is no alkali, you can only use small ash, melt the plant ash and boiling water, and then soak the pig skin in it for about ten minutes, and then use a knife to scrape off the black soot on the pig skin.
Then boil a pot of hot water in a pot, open the sauerkraut jar, pour a scoop of sauerkraut water from it, and wait for the water in the pot to boil, pour the sauerkraut water into it.
Then bring to a boil and wash twice with this sour slurry until it is clear.
After washing, the color of the pigskin is sallow.
After that, the heat is boiled in a pot, the pork skin is cut into sections, the spice is added, and the heat is boiled, and when the pork skin is completely melted, the condiments are filtered out.
Now the pork skin has been boiled into a water paste, which should be called frozen meat.
Put the boiled frozen meat in a basin, and after it has cooled, cut it into slices, mix some juice with cold vegetables, pour it on top of the cut frozen meat, and you can eat it.
Of course, it will take a while for frozen meat to go from mushy to coagulated, and if it is good to say in winter, it will be even slower if the four seasons are like spring here.
During this period, Mu Zhen also prepared the staple food.
Under the vigorous praise of Dr. Wang, from the time Mu Zhen came to the Divine Doctor Valley, the food of several people was handed over to Mu Zhen.
She was familiar with the things in the house.
The staple food to be made today is called lo mein, which is actually steamed noodles.
In her previous life, Mu Zhen used to steam the steamed noodles with dry noodles, but there were no ready-made dry noodles here, so Mu Zhen had to roll them out alive.
As for the work of rolling noodles and cutting noodles, when Mu Zhen boiled frozen meat, it had already been handed over to Mo Xiaocai.
The ancients said that gentlemen stay away from blisters. But Mu Zhen found that Mo Xiaocai seemed to like to give her a hand.
Of course, she also understands that this man's love for her is in his bones, and he doesn't pay attention to these secular dogmas at all.
Moreover, the amazing thing is that even if people can't see with their eyes, the rolled noodles are really thin and symmetrical, and the knife goes down, and the cut is even and fine.
To be honest, Mu Zhen is really not good at the technical work of rolling noodles. But why is this man so good at rolling? Could it be an IQ problem?
The piece of fat that Mu Zhen cut had already been washed when the skin was processed.
When Mo Xiaocai rolled the dough, she was not idle, she shaved a few artichokes with a planer, cut the meat into thin slices, and prepared peppercorns, peppers, ginger, and garlic.
Then heat the pot red, put the cut bacon in the pot and stir-fry, and the oil in the meat should be completely fried.
By putting the condiments in the oil and stir-frying until fragrant, add a scoop of boiling water and an appropriate amount of salt, at this time it doesn't matter if the salt is a little salty, because there are noodles and artichokes.
Then scoop up the water in the pot, put the artichoke in the pot and stir-fry a few times, then spread the noodles evenly on the artichoke, and then pour the soup that has just been stewed evenly on the noodles.
Cover the pot, control the heat, and after the water boils, the fragrant lo mein is almost cooked.
Why it's called lo mein, Mu Zhen doesn't know, because everyone has called it that since she was a child.
There is no trick to making lo mein, just to master the oil and salt, the oil is less artichoke sticking to the pan, and the oil is more greasy. When making soup, if you can't get the salt accurately, you can put less salt, and when it's almost cooked, you can taste the salt, and it's okay to add it if it's not enough.
Moreover, Mu Zhen has a quirk when making this dish, you must put some meat, no bacon, you can use fresh meat, add some chopped green onions when you get out of the pot, it will be perfect.
And if the heat is well controlled, the bottom of the pot will chew the yellow pot and chew it, then it will be called a fragrant.
By the time Dr. Wang and Uncle Kang came back, the meal was almost ready.
Lo mein already has oil and salt, so you don't need to stir-fry.
When a large pot of yellowish and translucent frozen pork and fragrant lo mein were placed on the table, Dr. Wang smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth.
"I knew that this girl of yours was a good contractor, and sure enough, there was something delicious again."
said, you're welcome, picked up the chopsticks and twisted a piece of frozen meat into your mouth, "Don't say it, I'll guess what it's made of." ”
While brushing his beard, he chirped, "Transparent, and a little elastic, like meat or not." Hiss~ I can't guess it. ”
Mu Zhen looked at Dr. Wang's serious appearance and thought that he had guessed it, but he didn't expect it to be all fools.
Here, Uncle Kang also pinched the chopsticks and tasted it, then looked around the wall and said, "This thing is made of pork skin." ”
Mu Zhen smiled and nodded, "Uncle Kang is really powerful." ”
"How do you know?" Dr. Wang's old child's temperament has been committed again, and it seems that he can't accept it, he didn't even guess it, but Uncle Kang guessed this fact.
The expression on Uncle Kang's face remained unchanged, and he said, "This is my home, and I naturally know more about my things than you." ”
Doctor Wang was choked by Uncle Kang, turned his grief into appetite, and grabbed it with Uncle Kang, Mu Zhen took advantage of the unpreparedness of the two of them, and hurriedly grabbed a few pieces for his father-in-law.
These two people are simply enemies.
