Chapter 642: The Birth of a Family (5)
The family's first task was to make Han Guo, at first Zixi didn't even know what Han Guo was, and it was not until Kim Jong Kook and Kim Xiulu explained that the so-called Han Guo was actually similar to the fried rice crackers in Guangdong and Hong Kong, China, which were made by stirring and cooling with popcorn and sugar.
In the seventies and eighties, every Chinese New Year, there would be this kind of driving a tricycle, behind a popcorn converter, through the streets and alleys for the need of the neighborhood processing, charging a certain processing fee. When Zixi was a child, he had seen him in the countryside of Hong Kong, such as the outlying islands and Cheung Chau. However, with the changes of the times, many old-fashioned New Year's customs have been eliminated and forgotten, and this process of using popcorn converters to make popcorn has basically disappeared, and many post-90s generations may not even have seen it.
Just like now, Yun'er and Dacheng have never seen the real thing, looking at Kim Jong-guo's discerning operation, they are very interested in asking questions from the side, which fully satisfies Kim Jong-kook's vanity.
was waiting for Kim Jong Kook to finish the first tube of popcorn, and Liu Jae-seok, who was on the side, asked Yun'er undeadly: "Yun'er! Do you have anything you'd like to eat today? We're going to prepare the food that Yuna wants to eat for dinner today. ”
Yun'er, this girl didn't know what politeness was, and said directly: "I want to eat meat." ”
"Meat?" It's a very exciting word. As soon as Yuna finished speaking, Kim so-ro and Yoon Chung-shin were concerned about him, Lee Tian-hee and Dae-sung nested next to the syrup that had been processed and didn't know what they were studying, and Yoo Jae-seok and Kim Jong-kook were focusing on the converter, as if they were collectively deaf for a moment.
"Yikes! What are you doing, Yun'er said that she wants to eat meat, didn't you hear? Li Xiaoli had long known the virtues of this group of men, but he couldn't help but remind him.
It's a pity that everyone is busy and continues to pretend not to hear, because the topic of meat is too sensitive.
Yun'er pouted, blinked at Zixi who was watching the play on the side with two big eyes, and said pitifully: "OPPA, I want to eat meat." ”
"What do you tell me you want meat?" Seeing Yun'er selling cuteness, Zixi laughed and said, "Didn't you just say that Brother Tianxi and Dacheng have everything you need?" Why don't you go to them now, I think they'll find meat for you. ”
Yun'er moved her eyes to Li Tianxi and Dacheng who were stirring the syrup, the two of them knew that they were not good when they heard Zixi mention them just now, and now they glanced at Yun'er from the corner of their eyes, and immediately rushed into the kitchen with a smoke, and they didn't look at it as clean.
Yuna puffed out her cheeks and looked at Yin Zhongxin and Jin Xiulu angrily. But these two people look at the sky and the ground on the other, and it's rare to be confused. As for Liu Zaishi and Kim Jong Kook, they can basically be ignored, and the two of them are circling around the converter, and they don't know what they are doing.
"Hehehe!" Park Ye-jin laughed and said to Yuna, "Yuna! They will pretend not to hear these things that they can't get, so you don't have any expectations. Hearing this, Yun'er's whole body was deflated.
Zixi smiled, walked over to Kwon Ji-hoon, who was watching from the staff, and took a large backpack from him. sent it to Yun'er and said, "I have long known that your girl's mouth is not idle, look at what I have prepared for you." ”
"Wow! It's heavy. Yun'er took the backpack with one hand, and couldn't help sinking, and with a "snap", the backpack fell to the ground. "OPPA, what did this come from, how could it be so heavy."
"If you open it and take a look, you won't know it!"
Yun'er felt a little difficult to pick up the rucksack with both hands, put it on the wooden table, opened the zipper, looked inside, her eyes immediately lit up, and exclaimed: "Ah......!" ”
"What did it come from?" Park Ye-jin looked at it curiously, and her eyes were also straight, as if she had seen something frightening. "Meat, it's meat." As Park Ye-jin exclaimed in a nasal voice, one of her hands had already taken out a large piece of pork belly wrapped in plastic wrap, raised it high, and said loudly: "Everyone, come and see, it's pork belly, it's really pork belly." "That kind of joy and the past are overflowing on the surface, which is comparable to winning the Blue Dragon Award.
"And the ribs." Yuna also picked up a piece of pork ribs in her hand, which was no smaller than the pork belly in Park Ye-jin's hand, but was immediately attracted by the piece of meat pressed at the bottom, threw the ribs down in disbelief, and reached out to take out the object that couldn't take her eyes off.
Although it is wrapped in plastic wrap, the evenly distributed meat and fat resemble marbling, and the bright color attracts all the eyes that were fixed on the ribs and pork belly.
"Is it Hanbo?" Park Ye-jin asked in disbelief.
Zixi smiled and nodded, and said, "That's right, Hengcheng Hanniu." ”
The pork belly is attracted, and the pork ribs are also attracted, but it is completely defeated by the attraction of Korean beef. Seeing Yuna holding that large piece of Hanniu in her hand, Park Ye-jin was already drooling, and Kim so-ro, who was still looking at the sky and the earth just now, almost didn't bulge out of her eyes, and she reached out to snatch it from Yuna's hand.
Yun'er saw the meat, where can she care about the seniors, hugged her hands tightly, jumped off the wooden table, hid to the side, saw the eyes of the surrounding tigers, like a calf guarding the beef, and screamed: "Mine, this is mine." The grinning look of that tooth is like whoever dares to rob her will bite her.
"Yun'a! Korean beef, pork belly and pork ribs are all five kilograms of meat weighing a total of 30 kilograms, and you can't eat them all. Zixi felt funny when she saw Yun'er's appearance, and said angrily: "There is still a staff here." ”
The staff members had already drooled when they saw the Korean beef and pork belly conjured up in Zixi's backpack like a trick. Their usual meals are all provided by a food truck, and the food is relatively monotonous and boring. Thinking about it, the taste of the big pot rice can be imagined. Now that I hear Zixi say that there is still their share of these meats, why don't you be moved? Thirty catties of meat, shaving the MC and a few regular guests, at least twenty catties can be left, sixty or seventy staff, each of whom can get a good piece of meat to taste. What's more, among these meats, there is also a valuable Hengcheng Korean beef?
"Zixi! Did you prepare all this meat? Liu Zaishi pointed to the three major pieces of meat that had been surrounded by everyone and said: "These are not cheap. ”
"It's rare to come once, as long as everyone is happy." Zixi said: "The pork belly and pork ribs were all taken out at home, and only the Korean beef was bought early this morning, and it didn't cost much." ”
I'm afraid that only Zixi can say so simple, Hengcheng Korean beef is much more expensive than beef imported from the United States, Australia and China, usually Koreans may not be willing to eat it once even during the New Year's Festival, not to mention that Zixi also bought five kilograms at a time, which is hundreds of thousands of won. (It's not clear what the price of Hanwoo was in '09, but last year's market price has been hovering around 4,500---5,000 won/100 grams, about 130 RMB/catty, which is still the retail price in South Korea.) As for whether it's worth the price, you'll have to taste it yourself. At that time, the price of pork belly was only 1,100 won per 100 grams, about 30 yuan per catty. )
"Barbecue, Korean beef and pork belly must undoubtedly be made into barbecue, ribs to make kimchi pork rib soup." Kim so-ro is already arguing with Park Ye-jin about what to do with these eye-popping meats. And he was holding the big bag of ribs in his hand and refused to let go, and he had to fight with Yun'er's appearance. Kim stepmother has become a golden child before the allure of meat.
"I said, shouldn't you care about me?" Everyone was around to discuss what to do with the meat, and Kim Jong Kook here was completely an outcast, and no one cared about it at all, even the popcorn converter who was curious just now was not interested.
"Get your popcorn!" Lee Hyo-ri said impatiently.
"Yikes! How can you do this to me? Kim Jong Kook felt particularly aggrieved today. was tricked by Lee Hyo-ri and Park Ye-jin and lost to Zi-hee, and now he can only continue to roll the damn dirty converter when he sees the delicious meat. It's a pity that no one listens to Kim Jong Kook's words now, and everyone is still talking about how many dishes to make at the bottom.
Kim Jong Kook's face was getting darker and darker, and when he saw that everyone didn't care about him, he took the gauze for popcorn, and took advantage of everyone's inattention, and pulled the ventilation valve of the converter hard. There was a "boom" sound, and all the popcorn wafting with the aroma of rice was sprayed on the gauze. However, this explosion also startled everyone, Yuna, Dacheng and Park Ye-jin all made a sudden, and Yoo Jae-seok jumped directly on the wooden table, his face was pale, and he was obviously frightened.
"Hey, hey!" All revenge has been avenged. Kim Jong Kook threw down the iron bar, pointed to the gauze, and said, "The popcorn is ready, who will try it next?" ”
The sound just now has not completely recovered the soul, where is anyone willing to try? Everyone's eyes moved to Liu Zaishi, making him feel bad, and shouted loudly: "Look at what I'm doing, I didn't say I was going to make popcorn." ”
Kim Jong Kook took the iron bar, opened his eyes wide, walked over, stuffed the iron bar into Liu Zaishi's hand, and said expressionlessly: "Then do you do it?" If you don't do it, you won't have any meat to eat tonight. ”
"Do, who's to say I don't do it?" Liu Zaishi's expression changed rapidly, "I've wanted to make popcorn for a long time, so leave the rest to me!" ”
Yoo Jae-seok stumbled and made popcorn, and everyone worked together to complete the production of Han Guo, which may be the first time that someone from the family would work so hard to do the family task. Even Yin Zhongxin, who likes to be lazy, and Jin Xiulu, who is cheating and tricky, are all working hard, all in order to complete their work as soon as possible so that they can eat mouth-watering barbecue.
The time for preparing dinner has been decided on the recipe during the discussion just now. In addition to Korean beef and pork belly for barbecue, the pork ribs are cooked by Zixi himself to make sweet and sour pork ribs, plus multigrain rice and shepherd's cabbage miso soup, so the dinner of this Lantern Festival is basically determined.
However, when it was discussed to go to the market to buy ingredients, controversy arose again. Yoon Chung-shin proposes that Kim Jong-kook go with Park Ye-jin, but Park Ye-jin wants to go with Zi-hee. Yuna is going to pick shepherd's cabbage, and she also wants Zixi to go with her. And Lee Hyo-ri wants to stay at home and says that Zixi wants to make sweet and sour pork ribs, so it's best not to walk around. The last three women used guessing boxing again to decide, and the winner could choose a partner. Yuna was lucky to win the two sisters, and she didn't even think about going to pick shepherd's cabbage with Zixi.
