With the arrival of the cold autumn days, various streetside grilling, charcoal grilling and Korean barbecue have gradually become the main colors of the day. The fluffy and juicy texture and cumin flavor are irresistible temptations for many delicious mouths. However, although barbecue is delicious, the nutritional value is easy to lose, especially charcoal barbecue meat, once the barbecue time is too long, it may lead to serious damage to the amino acids and vitamins in the meat, and lose the nutritional value. Burnt meat may contain carcinogens, which are very harmful to human health. Therefore, barbecued food is delicious, but it should be eaten as little as possible.

But to make people give up the taste of such delicious food, it is also an unreasonable thing, the night food stall is almost the world of barbecue, Shengyi City, as the first food capital in the mainland, the night market is naturally lively, and there are countless gluttons who go out and seek food.

"Wow...... What a fragrant taste! ”

A young man and woman held hands with each other, and the boy was the first to exclaim, an irresistible delicacy constantly encroaching on his nostrils, as if he had lost control of his feelings, and if he hadn't been sane, I'm afraid that saliva would have been left on the spot.

The girl said with some disgust: "Oh, your saliva is going to stay." ”

The boy said unwillingly: "But this smell is really special and fragrant, what is it?" ”

As soon as the boy said this, the other party who was a couple also moved his nose and took a breath, and suddenly there was a smell of charcoal fire, a rich sauce aroma, and the taste of spices, plus a pure and full meat texture appeared in front of him. She was just as surprised: "It's strange, when did there be such a fragrant barbecue on this street?" ”

The boy took the girl's hand, pointed in one direction, and said, "Look over there, there are so many people gathered!" That's where the scent comes from. ”

The girl looked far away in the direction pointed by the boy, and the black crowd surrounded a small shop inside and out, and the three layers inside and outside were impassable, if it weren't for the charcoal smoke floating into the air, and the aroma was constantly flowing out, there was absolutely no way to know where someone was cooking.

The girl was surprised: "Huh? That's a lot of people over there. ”

The boy said greedily: "Honey." Shall we go over there? ”

The girl shook her head. "Don't, eating barbecue is not good for your health." ”

The girl left this sentence, but ran honestly in the direction of the crowd, and the boy shrugged helplessly behind him. "Wait a minute! ”

The boy chased after him and walked side by side with the girl. casually said, "When did you open a shop here?" Newly opened? I remember that this place used to sell roast lamb shanks, right? ”

was said so casually by a boy. The girl's footsteps suddenly stopped, and she woke up: "This ...... I heard from my dad that the family was from a black shop. Not to mention the lack of catties and shortages, and the price is all over the sky, let's not go. ”

The boy was stunned in his heart, looked at the dense crowd, and immediately said unwillingly: "But this is too fragrant...... I want to eat it......"

The girl's saliva was about to stay at this time, and she wandered and struggled in her heart for a while, and suggested: "Or? Check it out? ”

The boy took a deep breath, inhaled more aroma into his body, and said happily, "Okay! ”

At this time, the small shop was already full of people, and if it weren't for the people standing at the front, they couldn't figure out what was going on inside, and only the smell was mouthwatering, so they stayed here to find out.

The boy brought his girlfriend, and the bodies of the two junior high school students were still barely able to squeeze between the gaps in the crowd, and when they got closer, at the same time there was a burst of cheers around them.

"I ...... Lose...... You...... How the hell do you do it! ”

The boy's eyes reflected the scene of a man with five short and three thick hands supporting his body, his knees already on the ground. The aroma made his body willingly obey the delicacy.

The man's roar slightly startled the boy, "What the hell are you doing!" Obviously the marinating time is so short, why is the aroma so strong! ”

The focus of the man's resentful gaze was an exaggeratedly dressed teenager, his hair dyed dark red, with a thick decadent eye makeup around his eyes, and nails on his ears, which was the dress of a punk youth, but captured the heart of this child.

"Incredible, right? This is the real roast leg of lamb, with your skills, you dare to open a restaurant in the name of Mongolians, and you will not come here to laugh to death. ”

The punk boy who was so high up on the ground let out a smug mockery.

"Okay, then you can go back to the police station with me and record a statement." Another man spoke.

The boy spotted another adult dressed as a policeman, strode forward, and pulled the man who was kneeling on the ground up.

Qian Gurong ran forward and said, "Wait a minute, Captain Li, does this guy still owe me some money?" ”

"Huh?" Li An snorted in confusion.

Qian Gurong rubbed his three fingers back and forth, compared to the appearance of asking for money, and said with a smile: "Okay, if the roast lamb leg I made is better than his, he will spend a thousand yuan a pound to buy it." ”

Hong Lei roared: "Why! How the hell do you do it! ”

Qian Gurong shrugged his shoulders and mocked: "Why should I tell you, you are stupid, this leg of mutton is a total of three catties and four taels, so I will charge you three thousand yuan, and the extra four hundred yuan, even if it is the money for the two legs of mutton that we ask for tonight, lest you say that we eat overlord meals, we are all good citizens who abide by the law." ”

After Hong Lei was taken away, the night also slowly came to an end, and everyone walked on the way to escort Liu Yaqin and Sikong Yao back to the apartment, and Sikong Yao asked curiously: "Gu Rong, what did you do with your roast leg of lamb, it was fragrant and sweet, the aroma was overflowing, and the flavor of the sauce was completely integrated into the meat, obviously it was marinated for less than ten minutes, eh?" ”

Qian Gurong proudly explained: "What about the curing of meat, also known as salting, you know? It is to rub salt, salt, sugar and seasoning on the surface of the meat and store it for a certain period of time. The purpose of curing is mainly to make the meat have the effect of preservative and freshness, and at the same time increase the flavor and color of the meat, and improve the eating quality of the meat. ”

During curing, due to the osmotic pressure generated by the salt, the salt enters the meat tissue, and the moisture in the meat penetrates outward, so that the meat tissue is partially dehydrated, and at the same time, due to the osmotic pressure generated by the cured meat, the growth and reproduction of harmful microorganisms are inhibited, so as to achieve the purpose of preserving. The main factors that determine osmotic pressure in cured meat are the concentration of salt and the temperature at which it is cured. Because the molecular weight of the protein in lean cells is very large, the molar concentration of the protein solution in the cells is very small, which allows salt molecules and nitrate to enter the tissue cells of the meat, and water molecules exude from the cells. The higher the salinity, the greater the osmotic pressure is generated, and the faster the water seeps out.

Qian Gurong explained simply and clearly: "I add a lot of salt to the sauce, which can quickly change the osmotic pressure and allow the marinade to mix into the meat faster, although this is not good, but the time is pressing, and it can only be like this." This was originally a means for black-hearted traders to save time and effort, but I didn't expect to use it too, which is really funny. ”

Sikong Yao was puzzled: "But in this way, won't it be very salty?" ”

Qian Gurong then explained: "Don't you think that roast mutton is a little sweet? Do you know what it is? ”

Sikong Yao recalled for a while, and asked in surprise: "Sweet with a faint sourness, is it orange juice?" ”

Qian Gurong snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "That's right, it's orange juice, I used orange juice instead of barbecue sauce, and the vitamin C in orange juice can melt salt." And I also cleaned the roast leg of lamb with cooking wine before putting it on the shelf, so the taste will not be very idle. And I put onions on top of my head, and the flavor of the onions adds spice flavor and overshadows the sourness of the orange juice. ”

Sikong Yao smiled: "I see, this is Brother Gu Rong's exclusive secret recipe?" ”

Qian Gurong shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's not an exclusive secret recipe, in my area, this kind of practice is not uncommon, every household has a secret barbecue recipe, my inspiration, I have to thank Hui." ”

Liu Minghui was stunned for a moment and said, "Me? ”

Qian Gurong nodded and said, "Yes, your dried squid roasted with orange sauce is so unpalatable that it is disgusting." ”

Liu Minghui glanced at Qian Gurong and said, "That's soul cooking, what do you know?" ”

Qian Gurong spread his hands and said, "Come on, it's obviously dark cuisine, don't ask me to try it in the future, I'm afraid I'll have to go to the hospital for stomach lavage." ”

Everyone laughed, obviously for the "soul cuisine" made by Liu Minghui, they were all persecuted to varying degrees.

Drummer Cui Yiyang said regretfully: "But the leg of mutton you picked is too small, if you make a six or seven pound one, you will make him bankrupt in minutes." ”

Qian Gurong shook his head and vetoed: "Cai Bu La, I'm just trying to teach him a lesson, you can't be too much." What's more, barbecue is also a bright thing, too big a leg of mutton, the meat is stiff and inelastic, and it is not delicious when grilled, and the specifications of three to four catties are the best. ”

Liu Yaqin's footsteps paused slightly, and then said to everyone: "Okay, it's here, you guys go back early, it's late, rest early." ”

Liu Minghui nodded and said, "Then Cheng, just send it here." ”

After beckoning the band members to leave, Sikong Yao looked at the back of the group and asked, "Sister Qin, do you think they will go back to rest obediently?" ”

Liu Yaqin smiled lightly, shook her head lightly and said, "It's impossible." ”

Sikong Yao shrugged and said, "I guess so." ”

Liu Yaqin turned around and opened the door and said, "Okay, come in, your body smells of smoke, you have to wash it well." (To be continued......)
