Chapter Seventy-Four: The Secret Braised Pork Rice
It will take a while to boil the soup, Fan Ming simply took Xiangxue to the back yard and walked around, for men and women of this age, the phrase "not seeing each other for a day" is very apt, and Xiangxue's eyes almost stuck to Fan Ming's body.
Fan Ming also knew that this girl was looking at him, so he deliberately pretended not to know, and walked casually in the back garden with square steps.
In the new spring, there was still some snow in the yard, but it had been cleaned and piled up together, and on a whim, Fan Ming walked to the snowdrift and grabbed a handful of snow, turned around and smeared it on Xiangxue's face.
Xiangxue suddenly became excited, screamed, grabbed a handful of snow and was about to fight back.
Fan Ming ran away with a smile, and the two frolicked in the yard.
"Come on, come and throw me." Fan Ming grabbed a handful of snowballs and threw them at Xiangxue as he ran.
"Hmph, I'm not afraid of you." Xiangxue is also the age of fun, she usually has to obey the rules in everything in the house, it is rare to have someone to play with her, and she was suddenly so excited that she blushed and fluttered, and she didn't care about the snow on the ground, so she grabbed it one by one and threw it at Fan Ming, and for a while there were snowballs in the garden.
But how could Xiangxue be Fan Ming's opponent, after a while, Kung Fu was hit a few times, and one of them fell into her neck, freezing her again, and she couldn't help but stomp her feet, "If you don't play, you will bully me, hum." ”
Looking at her little daughter's home, Fan Ming suddenly laughed, dropped the snow ball in his hand and walked over, although there was no one in the garden after this, he couldn't be too presumptuous.
walked to Xiangxue's side and deliberately teased her, "Girl, angry?" ”
Xiangxue suddenly turned around and grinned, "Hehe, where can I be, I just want to see if you don't care about me." ”
Fan Ming's heart warmed slightly, and he scratched her nose, "Now I know." ”
Xiangxue nodded vigorously, "Mm-hmm." ”
Fan Ming suddenly took her hand, walked forward, and said: "Girl, do you know, I have lived for so many years and there has never been a woman who can put her mind on me, you are the first, you say I don't care, who do you care." ”
"It's as if you've lived seventy or eighty years." Xiangxue pursed her lips, but her heart was sweet, remembering what she had just done, she asked, "Why did you think of cooking today, aren't you greedy?" ”
Fan Ming smiled, "No, didn't you tell me last time that you wanted to earn a family business, I thought about it, I plan to go to the city to open a restaurant, and sell this secret braised pork rice." ”
"Secret braised pork rice, why haven't I heard of it." Xiangxue twisted her eyebrows and tried to recall, she was also from a big family, but she had never heard of this dish in Yingtianfu.
"Hehe, it's all about the secret system, how could you have heard of it." Fan Ming couldn't help but rub her head.
"Oh, isn't that precious?"
"Well, it's also precious, at least I guarantee that even the official family has never eaten this dish, and if you don't make a mistake, it should still be delicious, I guarantee that you will want to eat a second bowl after eating one bowl."
"Oops." Xiangxue suddenly remembered something, "Why didn't you say it earlier, this recipe is not at all for us, we can't let others learn it, no, I'll let Adu Niang go out later, and I'll get it myself." ”
Fan Ming couldn't help laughing, "Little housekeeper, I started to be a housekeeper before I got married, I just tried to do it today, it doesn't matter, and it doesn't matter if I let others learn it, this is just a start, and I don't expect this to make money in the future." ”
"But that's our roots." When it comes to her future, Xiangxue is a little stubborn.
"Okay, well, according to you." Fan Ming also found something wrong, although this braised pork rice is indeed not a too secret recipe, and in fact, the fundamental reason why the catering industry wants to make money is not whether the food is delicious or not, but in the model and business means, as long as the thing is passable.
It is impossible for him to tell others some of these ideas in later generations, and he can't understand them, so it would be better to keep them secret according to Xiangxue's meaning, and it would be better to become a real secret product.
After staying in the back garden for a while, Xiangxue was a little anxious to go to the kitchen.
Fan Ming calculated that the time was indeed about the same, and the two returned to the room, and Adu Niang saw the two of them coming, so she invited the merit and said: "Mr. Fan, everything is ready, you can start making that fresh dish." ”
was about to speak, but Xiangxue hurriedly said: "Adu Niang, you go and get busy with you, I'll just come here." ”
Adu Niang originally wanted to laugh, but found that Xiangxue's face was not right as usual, and she was a little serious, so she put away her thoughts and nodded: "Okay, then you are busy, just tell me something." ”
While talking, he also called out the mother-in-law who was busy in the room, Fan Ming couldn't help but be a little surprised, he knew that Xiangxue's status in Cao Mansion was not low, but he didn't expect that talking would be so effective, it seemed that he had underestimated her a little before.
Seeing that the soup was boiled white, Fan Ming began to prepare to make a move, but Xiangxue hurriedly stopped him, "Don't move, let me come." ”
Fan Ming waved his hand, "It's okay, I'll do it myself today, and I'll never do it again in the future, and I don't worry about the taste I made if I don't do it myself." ”
Xiangxue hesitated, "That'...... I'll help you with that. ”
Fan Ming nodded, "Well, you go cook glutinous rice." ”
Braised pork rice and braised pork rice, of course, is rice as the staple food, but Chuqiu belongs to the north, and now it is basically wheat flour as the staple food, occasionally eat some millet, and there are not many people who eat rice, but Cao Fu is a big family, and usually rice is also in stock, but it is difficult for him.
Xiangxue answered, turned around and went to work, Fan Ming also took off his robe directly, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to cook.
There is no shortage of meat in the house, although the upper echelons of the Great Song Dynasty are mainly mutton, but ordinary people still eat pork, but the boar that has not been geldings has a bit of taste, and Fan Ming wants to find some female pork to make braised meat.
I searched for all the ingredients for the dish, pork belly with skin, shallots, dried shiitake mushrooms, corn starch, eggs, green vegetables, soy sauce, rice wine, sugar, minced ginger and garlic, and put them on the cutting board.
Cut the pork belly into cubes, blanch in a pot of cold water, and marinate for about 10 minutes.
Fan Ming started the pot to stir the diced meat out of the oil, after the oil in the pot was hot, put sugar to fry the color, add ginger, onions, garlic, and wine to fry the diced meat, and in an instant the meat in the room was full of fragrance, and the saliva of Xiangxue who was watching on the side flowed out, "It's so fragrant." ”
Fan Ming smiled, "This is just the beginning, it will be even more delicious later." ”
While talking, Fan Ming kept his hands, added a little scallion oil to the bottom, put in a little ginger and garlic, diced mushrooms, two spoons of scallion oil pastry, poured a spoonful of rice wine, three spoons of soy sauce, two pieces of perilla, add some sugar and half a bowl of warm water, and finally add two boiled eggs with peeled shells, mix well.
Add the marinade, simmer over low heat, and say to Xiangxue: "When the soup is dry, you can eat." ”
Xiangxue licked her lips, "I smell it and want to eat it now." ”
