Yang Yong and the others came back early, it was only two o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Yong handed over the money from selling apricots and plums today to Yang Yun, and several of their children carried bamboo baskets on their backs and went to the mountains to pick plums and apricots. Yang Yun really wanted to go, but Uncle He and Yu Haochen were guests at home, and she was embarrassed to go away.
"Sister, we want to pick plums too." Yang Xuan and Kong Tianyou saw Yang Yong and they went to the mountain to pick plums, and they also wanted to follow.
"Don't go today, it's going to be so hot, you should go to Grandpa Xu's house to pick herbs at this time."
"Grandpa Xu's herbs have been picked, Grandpa Xu let the two of us go to play by ourselves in the afternoon, no need to go to his house, sister let us go, we have to go to the back mountain to play."
"No, it's just past noon, it's too hot outside, I'll play later." Brother, they all went to the mountain, Uncle He, they are going to eat at our house tonight, my sister has no one to help with cooking, you have to stay and help my sister. "The weather is already very hot after the Dragon Boat Festival, especially in the past few days, the weather is unusually hot, and it looks like it's going to rain on this day.
"Sister, then can you cook something delicious?" Yang Xuan heard Yang Yun say that he was going to cook dinner to entertain guests tonight, so he was naturally looking forward to Yang Yun cooking delicious things.
"Of course it will, you see Uncle He and they brought several kinds of meat, and my sister cooked delicious meat for everyone to taste tonight."
"Okay, we like to eat what my sister cooks the most." When Yang Xuan and Kong Tianyou heard Yang Yun say that they could cook delicious things, they were naturally very happy, and expressed their love for their sister in unison, Yang Yun felt that Yang Xuan and Kong Tianyou were their super fans.
"Then do you two want to stay and help your sister?"
"Help, let's help my sister." The two little radishes nodded at Yang Yun and said they wanted to help.
Yang Yun took Yang Xuan and Kong Tianyou to the kitchen and took out the meat that Uncle He and they brought. Uncle He brought pork, beef, even polished rice, and a small bag of flour, it seems that Uncle He and they also know the peasant family, and few people will have these exquisite grains.
Yang Yun flipped through everything, and suddenly saw a large piece of paper wrapped tightly in oiled paper, Yang Yun thought it was grain at first, but she didn't look carefully. At this time, Yang Yun poked the oiled paper bag with her hand, and felt that the contents were quite hard. Yang Yun put the oiled paper bag on the stove and opened the oiled paper bag to look at it. God, that's right, it's a piece of cured meat. No! To be correct, it should be a ham made of meat marinade, the most famous ham in Jinhua, Zhejiang in the previous life.
Yang Yun didn't expect to see ham again today, Uncle He and they walked darts, and they really knew a lot and had a good ability, so they could get this ham. With so much meat today, dinner must be hearty. Yang Yun planned to deal with the beef first, the piece of beef brought by Uncle He was at least about four catties, men love meat, Yang Yun decided to make the beef into sauce-flavored beef. Yang Yun asked Yang Xuan to go to the backyard to pluck a handful of green onions and come back, and then drove the two little radish heads back to the room, and they couldn't help in the kitchen for the time being.
Yang Yun cut the large pieces of beef into pieces of meat that were only ten centimeters in size, and then threw the beef into the water to soak for a while. Then Yang Yun went to find out the casserole for stewing things at home, cleaned it with water, dried the water, and kept it for a while to stew beef.
Yang Yun boiled half a pot of boiling water in a large pot, added a small amount of white wine to the water, and then threw the washed beef into the cauldron and boiled for a while, blanching the water. Adding liquor to the pot can remove the fishy smell of beef. Beef must be boiled in boiling water first, which is conducive to removing the blood and water in the meat.
Yang Yun scooped up the boiled beef and put it in cold water to soak it, and the beef soaked in cold water for about ten minutes, then scooped it up again and drained the water, and left it for a while to cook again. The beef must be blanched first, and then cooled, so that the beef is rotten but not scattered, and the taste is excellent.
Yang Yun took out some spices left over from the kitchen, and found a total of five spices in the material package. Star anise, cinnamon, pepper, fennel, bay leaves, these spices are fragrant and clean, and then heated and fried in a pot to stimulate the aroma of the spices, and then find a clean gauze to wrap the spices, Yang Yun also added a small handful of tea leaves. The tea leaves are fishy and oily, and have a fresh fragrance, which is most suitable for stewing with beef.
Yang Yun took the dried casserole, added sliced ginger and shallots to the pot, and then put the drained beef into the pot together. Add a spoonful of white wine, soy sauce, sugar, and salt to the pot, and then put the gauze bag wrapped with five spices into the pot. Sugar must be added to the beef stew to make the sauce beef more delicious.
After adding these ingredients, you need to add water to the pot, at least the water should be submerged in the beef, and finally the lid of the pot is tightly covered, and you can add the fire to stew the beef. Yang Yun boiled the beef over high heat first, and then stewed the beef over low heat. This sauced beef should be stewed for at least an hour and a half to get the beef to taste. Yang Yun added her own stuffy carbon fire to the small stove, as long as she paid attention to adding carbon, she didn't have to keep the sand pot all the time.
After finishing the beef stew, Yang Yun found a basket of meat brought by Uncle He and put it in the cabinet to prevent wild things from being taken away, and there were many rats in Zhoujia Village. Except for beef, other meats can be processed at night when cooking rice. After finishing these things, Yang Yun went out of the kitchen and wiped the sweat on her forehead with her cuffs, it would be hot, and the kitchen would be quite hot. Yang Xuan and the others had already been driven back to the room by Yang Yun to study, and it would be hot Yang Yun did not agree with them to go out to play.
Yang Yun walked out of the kitchen door and saw Grandpa and Uncle Li walking out of the house with Uncle He and Yu Haochen.
"Uncle He, it's getting hot, why don't you sit in the house." It's going to be so hot, where is this Uncle He going?
"Hehe, I didn't hear you say that there is a doctor in your village last time, and I rarely have time to visit him today."
"You mean Grandpa Xu, yes, this will make Grandpa Xu should be at home."
"Yun girl wants to go over together."
"I'm supposed to go with you, but I'm boiling beef stew in the kitchen, so I don't dare to leave."
"Oh! Yun girl has started cooking rice so early, do you know how to cook beef? ”
"Yes. When you eat my stewed beef in the evening, you will know that my craftsmanship is not a compliment. Yang Yun didn't think about it for a while, so she answered Uncle He's question. Yang Yun didn't think about it, how many people in Zhoujia Village would know beef. It is estimated that when Yang Yun reacts, she will regret her death, she is really impulsive.
"Haha, I must try your craftsmanship at night, and if it is not cooked well, I will admit punishment." (To be continued.) )
