1801. Hometown bacon
It has been a few days since the storm passed, and the sun has been getting brighter and brighter these days, and if it weren't for the cold sea breeze, the weather would have warmed up as if it had entered spring early.
Qin Shiou has been busy with the business of the Newfoundland Fisheries Alliance these days, he spoke on behalf of the alliance, saying that it is incompatible with the world's whaling and shark fishing business, and specially issued a question document to be sent to various fishing grounds, calling on fishermen to pay attention to their own sea areas, if whaling ships and shark fishing ships are found, they should call the police to cooperate with law enforcement, and supervise the implementation of the document during this time.
Finally stayed up to the weekend, the idle days came, Winnie rarely slept lazy, Qin Shiou didn't have anything to do after getting up, and he didn't need to prepare breakfast after his parents came, so he simply learned to stay in bed.
As a result, after the melon woke up, she was noisy and wanted to go to Sister Duoduo to play, Qin Shiou had to put on clothes and take her to find Duoduo, and by the way, he cleaned up the stables and pulled the two flowers out to let the wind out.
Michelle was very self-disciplined to get up for morning exercises, Qin Shiou originally wanted to build an indoor gymnasium in the fishing grounds, but basically there was no need, the teenagers were all in high school, they did not go to high school on the island, but went to St. John's, farewell town has no high school, and Grant Elementary School is only in the ninth grade.
In this way, the teenagers usually live in the school, and only come back on weekends and holidays, and the basketball hall is mostly empty.
Qin Shiou didn't know whether the education method he arranged for the teenagers was right or wrong, they skipped too many grades in school, and they jumped from the first grade of primary school to high school in four years, which can set a record in Canada.
Except for Powell, who is a super learner, the other three have poor grades, but fortunately they don't need to look for a way out academically. Michelle was destined to follow the path of basketball, and Gordon was very good at mixing. And he is very interested in fishing, Qin Shiou thinks it will be good to take him to manage the fishery in the future.
As for Shirley? This girl is beautiful and has an outstanding temperament. In addition to not being good at studying, other things such as singing and dancing, playing the piano and riding horses, sports and fighting are all first-class, from the first day of school, she is the most dazzling star in the school, and there is definitely no need for Qin Shiou to worry about the future.
After breakfast, Qin Shiou was about to go to the town to buy something, as soon as he went out and saw Father Qin and Mao Weilong bringing out a bunch of meat, he asked curiously, "What is this for?" ”
Father Qin smiled: "Xiaolong has too much meat, it is mutton and beef, although it can't be broken in the freezer." But after a long time, the umami is gone, and I'm going to make some bacon sauce or something, so that it will be easy to preserve, and the taste is delicious. ”
The beef and mutton brought by Mao Weilong added up to not 1,000 catties but 800 catties, and when he went to pick him up, he saw these decomposed beef and mutton, Qin Shiou was stunned, and he thought that this guy wanted to open a butcher shop on Farewell Island.
The fishery has a big business, and these meats are actually not much, and there are not many catties for a mouthful.
But Qin Shiou didn't feel the need to do this. An employee is an employee, and he has to score out his relatives near and far, such as Shaq Bull Nelson, who is of course his descendant, and he can give these people what he eats. But ordinary fishermen don't have to. The beef and mutton brought by Mao Weilong are much more delicious and expensive than the meat in ordinary butcher shops, so you can eat it yourself.
In this way, the base is smaller. It seems that there is too much beef and mutton, and you can't eat big fish and meat. After eating this time, there was still a lot left, and after seeing it, Father Qin felt the need to make some bacon and sauced meat.
Actually, he wanted to do it when he first came. It's a pity that the weather was very bad in those days, first it was cloudy, then it was stormy and blizzard, and now the weather is finally bright, and there is an opportunity to make bacon and ham.
Qin Shiou scratched his head and stayed behind to help make bacon.
Bacon and sauce meat are one of the hard dishes in their hometown, similar to bacon and ham in the southwest, but they are not stored for that long, and Qin Shiou feels that bacon and sauce meat taste better and are versatile.
The beef and mutton brought by Mao Weilong was only processed simply, and the mutton was half in a row, sawn in half from it, removed the internal organs and washed the blood, and the rest was brought over with the head and hooves, which is also a common treatment method in Canadian slaughterhouses.
Beef is divided into parts, beef legs, cow back, cow head, beef belly, etc., each piece of meat is at least more than ten catties, and it looks very strong.
Qin Shiou took the water and put the frozen beef and mutton in to thaw, and when the weather was warm at noon, he lifted a piece of mutton and looked at it, the ice was almost melted, and then he was ready to start.
Father Qin's ingredients, he and Mao Weilong cut the beef and mutton and cut them into strips like the thickness of a child's arm.
Seeing these tender beef and mutton, the sky Sanshao flew over with interest, and in the winter because of the cold and freezing, Sanshao became a lot more honest, since the storm began to honestly hide in the house and did not run to the Kanbal Mountains to spread wild, this will see the fresh meat, only to become excited again.
Qin Shiou used a knife to cut the meat into slender slices of meat, and then threw them into the air, the golden eagle Chennault and the bald eagle Bush opened their mouths to take the meat slices like a puppy, the two of them were extremely vigorous, flying very slippery like sticking to the ground, accurately taking a piece of meat into their mouths and swallowing them.
"66666666!" Mao Weilong was envious when he saw it, he also cut a piece of meat and threw it out, Xiao Chen and Xiao Bush didn't look at him, and flew up and down still waiting for Qin Shiou to feed the meat.
"Damn, these two little ones have no conscience!" Mao Weilong hated it so much.
Bush Jr. and Chennault Jr. didn't buy it, so he hit Nimitz with the idea, and this time he didn't throw the meat, but sent it to the door.
Nimitz glanced at him disdainfully, turned around and gave him a boss's tail, and the angry Mao Weilong scolded: "These little, the meat is all brought by Lao Tzu, there is a kind of none of you who feed it, don't eat it!" ”
Qin Shiou laughed disdainfully: "You are stupid, the big warship birds only eat fish, they don't eat meat!" ”
Father Qin adjusted the sauce, came out with a big basin and asked, "Don't just tease the little things, hurry up and work, get it ready, you can eat it tonight!" ”
Qin Shiou continued to divide the meat pieces with a smile, and asked casually, "Is the seasoning ready?" ”
The sauce to be used for bacon is very complicated, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, salt, green onion, ginger and garlic, cumin, Sichuan pepper, monosodium glutamate, star anise, white sugar, sesame oil, etc., it is said that in the past, those landlords in their hometown paid more attention to bacon, and they had to use forty or fifty seasonings.
Father Qin put down the basin and said, "It's all here, you divide the meat and wash it, then put it in and soak it, then eat, and let's start drying it in the afternoon." ”
The meat quality of these beef and mutton is very good, and the seasoning is absorbed quickly, Qin Shiou and Mao Weilong put some in first, and when all the meat is packed up and put into the marinating meat bowl, the first meat can be taken out and cooked and eaten. (To be continued.) )
