Xu Ying loves to cook, and she herself is also a lover of food.

Jinhua ham is famous, the taste is quite good, but unfortunately authentic Jinhua ham is quite difficult to buy, you don't even think about it in other places, even if you go to the local area, you are not familiar with it and it is difficult to buy a good one.

"He said how he was going to eat?"

Xu Ying didn't have to guess to know that the other party asked Zhao Jing to bring it to the kitchen, and he must have to process it for him himself.

"He said whatever, you can do whatever you want."

Zhao Jing didn't understand why Xu Ying valued this piece of meat so much, wasn't it just a piece of dried meat.

"Okay, I see, you tell them, I'll make ham after I'm done with this pot."

Xu Ying didn't go out, her mind is now on Jinhua ham.

The other party said that he let himself do it casually, but he really did it casually, for fear that the other party would underestimate himself, you must know that this ham is also very particular.

Jinhua ham can be divided into five parts: fire claw, fire heel, top, middle and dripping oil.

The "upper" muscle fibers are uniform and dense, and the meat quality is the best, accounting for about 35% of the whole leg mass, which can be used to make fire squares and cut large slices, flower-shaped slices, etc.

"Fire heel" can be stewed or cut into pieces, cut into semi-round slices, round slices, etc., most of which are eaten with skin, so the fire power should be sufficient.

The "Chinese side" occupies a similar weight to the upper one, and is usually shredded, sliced or stripped.

"Fire claws" and "dripping oil" can be stewed in soup or mixed stew.

And the piece in front of me is a fire heel, which needs to be stewed.

And stewing is also a technical job, not something you just throw into the water and boil it.

And ham is a dry meat, which is very difficult to cut and extremely difficult to stew. Not only the knife work, but also the heat, it seems that this brother is going to take the postgraduate examination himself.

But Xu Ying is not afraid, the more difficult it is, the more interested she is.

Xu Ying cut the look she needed.

She shook her arm gently, it was really hard.

"Yingzi, you cut it well, look at you so thin, I didn't expect you to be so strong, you look at what I cut just now, like a dog gnawed."

Zhang Ru admired beside her, she cut it first, but it was really not good to cut two pieces, so she changed Xu Ying to get started.

Xu Ying's cut is also a little laborious, after all, her strength is not as good as that of a man, but she cuts it quite well.

This is mainly because she knows how to cut.

For example, the pulling and pressure of the blade surface should be appropriate, the thin ham is better to cut along or obliquely on the muscle texture, and it is easy to break up laterally, etc., so she cuts much stronger than Zhang Ru.

"My aunt is cutting it for the first time, so it must be hard, and it will be good when it is cooked in the future."

Xu Ying said and evenly spread a little sugar on the ham, because in this way, it would be easier to stew and the taste would be more delicious.

Ham is generally not used as a main dish, but as an auxiliary, it will be stewed in soup, and the taste will be very delicious.

So in addition to the ham, Xu Ying added a lot of ingredients, but she didn't add any seasonings, star anise, cinnamon, and other things, because these things would destroy the taste of the ham.

After the pot boiled, Xu Ying added a little bit of rice wine to it. This will make the ham more flavorful, and it will also reduce the saltiness of the ham, so that the saltiness of the soup is moderate.

The aroma slowly overflowed, and Zhang Rudu twitched his nose twice.

"So fragrant?"

She was a little strange, it was said that Xu Yingfang was not enough to have such a good aroma.

"When the soup is ready, my aunt will taste it, and we can have a bowl at noon today."

Xu Ying snickered, it wasn't that she took advantage of others, she stewed some more soup and prepared to give it to her family to drink, and she didn't charge the other party's processing fee when the time came.

"That's good, I'm also borrowing light, Yingzi, I've gained three pounds since I came to the store, I used to eat and didn't get fat, your uncle said that I didn't come to work, I came to enjoy happiness, and said that I ate better than the official's wife all day long."

Zhang Ru had a smile on her face.

Xu Ying knew that the conditions in the second uncle's house were much worse than those in the eldest uncle's house, and the second aunt was usually reluctant to buy meat at all, and if she didn't eat good, how could she get fat.

The second uncle ate in the canteen of the unit at noon, and the food was not bad, and the two of them used to deal with a plate of dried tofu with green peppers and dried tofu at night, and they could only eat smoothly when they went to Liu's house.

Now my aunt eats here every day, although she is busy, she can eat all good things, and it is strange that she is not fat.

"By the way, aunt, I forgot to tell you a few times, you go back tonight and tell your second uncle, let him not make his own food at night, let him go directly to our house after work, and then come over to eat with Mingda and them, and then you will go back together after eating."

Xu Ying wanted to say it several times, at the beginning of the second uncle was embarrassed to come, afraid of causing trouble, now his business is good, his aunt helps him a lot every day, and he can't go back to cook for his second uncle at night, so the second uncle will deal with it by himself, this is not a long-term solution, it is better to let him come to the store to eat, and it will be a matter of more pairs of chopsticks.

"Okay, I'll go back and talk to your second uncle today, your second uncle is embarrassed to be thin-skinned for a while, in fact, they are all a family, what's so embarrassing, Yingzi, my aunt is thank you, I'm also afraid that he won't be able to stand it by himself."

Zhang Ru didn't be polite with Xu Ying, after contacting Xu Ying for a period of time, she found that Xu Ying was a worthy person, she was not stingy, as long as you passed, she would be worthy of you, of course, if you were lazy and slippery, she would not be used to you.

"Hmm. That's the reason, people eat more and it is fragrant. ”

Xu Ying nodded, she also knew that her second uncle's stomach was not particularly good, so if she dealt with it for a long time, she was afraid that he would have stomach problems.

After the ham was stewed, Xu Yingsheng came out with half of it, this was going to be for the table of the whole brother outside, there was still half of the pot left, she was going to keep it for her own family to eat, mainly because she added a lot of ingredients, and she didn't plan to count the money.

Xu Ying first served a bowl of soup to her aunt Zhang Ru, and she also served a bowl of the pot herself.

The aroma entered his nose, and Xu Ying took a deep breath.

This ham is really good.

If she could have such a good ham in her shop, the taste of a lot of stewed soup would definitely be a higher level.

Thinking of this, Xu Ying was slightly stunned.

Brother Quan can have a ham, there must be a lot, can you find him to point Jinhua ham? That's a feature.

"Yingzi, this soup is delicious, it's really bright, I've never drunk such a delicious soup."

Zhang Ru is not a gluttonous person, but she smacks her tongue after drinking a bowl.

Xu Ying smiled, it must be delicious, she hasn't drunk the soup of authentic Jinhua ham for many years.

Xu Ying took a sip gently.

A cool aroma fills the mouth.

She tasted it slowly, and it was a real treat.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, that whole brother has to let you go to the front, what do you think?"

Zhao Jing ran in again.

"Okay, I see, I'll go over now."

Xu Ying put down the bowl, wiped the corners of her mouth, with a slight smile on her face, she has changed her mind now, she is going to see Brother Quan, she wants Jinhua ham. (To be continued.) )
