Chapter 39: Braised pork
Now it's time to make meat, the fat and thin pork belly has been cut into small pieces according to her requirements, and the lard is put in the pot first, and then two spoonfuls of sugar are scooped up, and slowly fried over low heat. When it turns yellow, I quickly put the meat in, and after a crackling sound, the aroma overflows.
Add the green onion and ginger in turn, and throw in a little chili. Take advantage of the high temperature to spray the wine in, followed by soy sauce, at this time the pork turned brown-red, looking at the appetite, add water into it, let Li Niangzi simmer over low heat,
You can't put salt in it, and you throw in the bag of soy sauce to make it a good thing. Half an hour later, she came to the kitchen again, but saw a crowd of people around the door.
"What are you doing?"
"Girl, it's so fragrant inside, it's so fragrant." Qing Niang thought to herself, can the stew not be fragrant?
She went in and looked, yes, before the water was drained, she put salt and some sugar, stirred it well, and then said:
"Keep the heat on low and the soup will be ready to come out of the pot when it is dry."
At dinner that day, everyone ate an extra bowl of dry rice, and this braised pork was too frey.
Qing Niang took a bite and squinted her eyes in satisfaction, it was so fragrant, she had lived for two lifetimes, and she never knew that braised pork would be so fragrant!
Mama sent a bowl to her uncle, and came back and said, "The second old lady ate a piece, and said that no one was allowed to eat this meat, and he should keep it and eat it slowly." ”
"Did no one else really eat it?"
"How can it be, their family said that they would not restrain themselves after eating too much meat, and each person tasted a piece, and then he brought the rest back to the house."
It's really an old child. However, this taste has a lot of magic for those who have never eaten it. She thought, should we produce it on a large scale? But now, I look like the floating duckweed, and if I am too capable, I will cause trouble!
This business is not like making wine, which can be sold at a high price, and it can be produced on a small scale.
For a few days, she was a little uneasy, according to the agreement, Liu Song should also come back, why hasn't there been any news so far? Could it be that something happened to my brother's side?
She asked her grandmother to take two jars of sauce and a bottle of soy sauce, planning to go to see her uncle, mainly to inquire whether her grandfather would return to his hometown this year to worship his ancestors.
"Sister Qing, you're here, I'm going to look for you." The second aunt smiled happily when she saw her.
"Is it for this?" She held up the soy sauce bottle in her hand.
"Hey, if you don't say that this girl is cute, I know what the second aunt wants to know? Tell us how that meat is made, your uncle is addicted! ”
"It's simple, it's made of beans."
"What do you say? Are these made from beans? What kind of beans are at home? ”
"Yes, but the production process is very slow, I only made my own food this year, you can taste it, this soy sauce, not only can you roast meat, but you can also put it in noodles to enhance the flavor, and you can also put some stir-fried vegetables."
"Ouch, how can you put such a precious thing anywhere."
"This jar is a large sauce, made with the soy sauce, this sauce is saltier, put a little when you fry the minced meat, and the noodles are delicious." For the rest of the food, they can dig it out themselves.
She took the opportunity to ask what she wanted to know, but her uncle's answer disappointed her.
"Your grandfather wrote back to me, saying that as a military general, he couldn't go out of Beijing casually, so he didn't come back." This reason is really irrefutable, at this time, the military general's departure from Beijing did have the emperor's approval.
She is now more eager to know, why hasn't Liu Song come back yet? It is said that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and he was originally planned to come back for a trip.
When she was about to be a child, Qing Niang was already restless, and Mama was also anxious, complaining in her heart, even if people can't come back, she should write a letter to explain the situation, she regretted it for the first time, it would have been good to let the old man go, and the young man was not reliable.
On the day of the New Year, the snack bar was officially closed, Liu An sealed the door, and they returned home with Moxiang, they hired a mule cart and bought half a car of New Year's goods, because Bofu did not raise pigs, Qing Niang specially asked him to go to the butcher shop to order half of it, and pulled it back today.
She didn't care about these trivial matters anymore, so she simply closed the door and returned to the space.
As soon as she went back, Da Biao ran over, and circled around her affectionately, and she was not afraid for a long time, she rode on it, and it was carried to the grassland, and the chickens had already grown up, and hatched a nest of chicks.
She has a lot of things to do outside, and even with the magic stove, she hasn't started a fire.
Not to mention killing chickens and slaughtering sheep, Da Biao also sensed her anxiety, and let out a long howl from time to time. When they arrived at the bottom of the snow peak, they looked around, and suddenly they saw that there was a green flower on the cliff, could it be a snow lotus?
She slowly stretched out her hand, and the flower appeared in front of her, crystal clear, and sure enough, it was a snow lotus.
It is recorded in the collection of materia medica that this substance can replenish lean yang, and it is also very effective for women's dysmenorrhea. She looked around again, and finally found only three.
In Da'an, it's a holy relic, Qing Niang plans to keep it well, and when necessary, exchange it for what you want.
"I'll go back after the New Year! When the time comes, tell Uncle Zuming, for the sake of my younger brother, I can't care so much. She secretly made up her mind.
Decide it, feel relaxed, no matter what, this year is the first year after my new birth, and I have to have a good time no matter what.
She went back to bed, and Ye Zi heard the call and hurriedly brought hot water.
"What's your mother up to? The scent of books is not there either? ”
"They're going to bacon, girl, do you want to see it?"
In the cured meat, of course, I went to see it, and she still had some secret recipes that she didn't tell them.
When I arrived at the outer courtyard, I saw Mama rubbing the surface of the meat with salt, and Qing Niang quickly stopped.
"Fry this peppercorn, as well as cinnamon and star anise with salt, and then mash it with a stone mortar with salt, and then touch the meat, by the way, spray some wine before applying salt, and use our kind of strong."
When Li Da, who was chopping bones on the side, heard this, a painful expression appeared on his face, and Qing Niang said with a smile:
"Thirty nights, the wine and meat are enough, and I have been tired for a year, so everyone is more relaxed."
Although everyone in Bofu is busy, they are full of joy.
"Mama, go and weigh ten catties of beans, and I'll teach you another delicious one that I just learned from a book."
This time, Mama didn't even ask, she ran fast and came back with a pot of beans from the warehouse.
"You have to pick up the sand first, and then soak it in water, so you have to pick it up." The work of picking beans is done by leaves and small pillars, and the two of them can't stop nodding their heads, and they are doing it very seriously.
The girl said it was delicious, and it must be very delicious. Qing Niang is going to teach them how to make tofu! was in a hurry, there was a sudden sound of calling the door outside, and when I heard the sound, I was immediately excited, it was Liu Song, that's right, it was him!
