Chapter 82: Cutting and Boiling Meat
After Jin Bo finished unloading the goods, Aunt Liu next door also left. He smiled and asked Ruge's mother:
"If there is any work at your aunt's house, you can arrange it."
Ruge's mother was very satisfied with the performance of her prospective son-in-law today, and the more she watched it, the more she liked it, and she was reluctant to let him work, so she said with a smile:
"This year, your younger siblings can help, and I don't need your help."
"Auntie, you're welcome, I'm here to help today. Why don't I cut the pork I brought with me into pieces and cook it? Jin Bo suggested.
Ruge's mother is most afraid of cutting meat, she doesn't have much strength, and it takes a lot of strength to cut meat, and Ruge's father is afraid of blood and doesn't dare to cut it. In the past, he had to ask a neighbor to help him with every meat cut, but now there is a ready-made one that he can try. But then I thought that he was so young, he must be pampered at home, can he do such rough work? So he asked suspiciously:
"You can cut meat, and you can cook meat?"
"I may not be able to do anything else, but in previous years, I basically cut the meat at home, and my father said that I was going to train my strength. In the past few years, I have also cut meat and cooked meat at home, and I am still quite confident in this job, so you can see it. Jin Bo said proudly.
"Okay, let's do it, today, cook all the pork and mutton you brought." For example, the mother can't stand the smell of mutton, so she just let her son-in-law deal with it together.
"Okay, Xiaowei will give me a hand, you go and do other work, and the meat cutting and cooking will be handed over to the two of us." Jin Bo said confidently.
"Okay, we'll wait to eat the pork and mutton you cooked." Jia'er said suspiciously, she didn't believe that her prospective brother-in-law, who was polite and didn't have much strength, would cut meat and cook meat?
Jin Bo looked at Jia'er, who didn't have a good impression of him, and said with a smile:
"Little sister, let you see my brother-in-law's specialty today."
After saying that, Jin Bo began to act, he beckoned Xiaowei, and the two of them first carried a large fan of pork to the side of the water pipe in the yard, and asked Xiaowei to find a big basin, rolled up his sleeves and began to clean the pork. After cleaning, Jin Bo asked Xiaowei to find a large chopping board and a large knife for cutting meat, and he began to cut it decently. Not to mention, the size of the cut is like a square tofu cube, which is very even. He asked Xiaowei to find a big basin and put all the cut pork pieces into the big basin.
Seeing that his son-in-law was doing a decent job, he looked at each other like a father and a mother and smiled. Na'er and Jia'er observed interestingly for a while, and Jia'er muttered:
"I underestimated him, I really didn't expect him to do such a rough job. It seems that he is really interested in our sister, in order to please our eldest sister, he has given so many gifts, and he has done all the dirty work. ”
"Maybe he realized that our sister is good, this kid, he is good." Na'er was unmoved, what man didn't try his best to please a girl when he pursued it? That's not enough.
"When the time comes, try the pork and mutton he cooked, there is free labor to dry, let's save a little." As Jia'er said, the two sisters looked at each other and smiled.
In a short time, Jin Bo finished cutting a large fan of pork. He asked Xiaowei to find a big basin again, he put the knife and the cutting board under the water pipe to rinse it, put the whole sheep on the cutting board, and began to dismantle the sheep. He first cut off the head of the sheep, then cut the sheep in half from the middle, skillfully deboned and cut the meat, the lamb chops were cut into small pieces, and the mutton was cut into small pieces, which was completely different from the method of handling pork.
Cutting meat is really a hard job, and on a cold day, beads of sweat appeared on Jin Bo's head after a while. Xiaowei was infected by Jin Bo's enthusiasm for work, and he had a good impression of this brother-in-law, so he took the initiative to take a towel for Jin Bo to wipe his sweat. Jin Bo took it with a smile, wiped his sweat, and wrapped a towel around his neck by the way, now he really looked like a working farmer.
Jin Bo asked Xiaowei to go to the kitchen to fill half a pot of water in the cauldron. After he finished cutting the meat, he sprinkled some cooking wine in two large basins like pieces of meat to remove the smell. Then I asked Rumu for green onion and ginger, cut the green onion into sections, slice the ginger, and then asked Rumu for star anise, cinnamon, anise, cumin, bay leaves and other ingredients for cooking meat, and smashed them with a knife and put them in a bowl for later use.
When he was ready, Jin Bo moved the two large basins into the kitchen, and brought in the prepared ingredients and green onion and ginger. Rumu saw Jin Bo's series of skillful movements, and not only praised:
"I didn't expect this child to look polite and polite, and he would do these rough jobs, it seems that he is not pampered at home, Lao Jin has raised a good son."
"yes, I didn't expect him to be so capable. Looking at his weak appearance, at first I thought that he must be a guy who can't lift his hands and shoulders, it's useless, if it weren't for our daughter's insistence, I wouldn't agree to his engagement with our daughter. Now it seems that we have picked up a treasure? Ru's father said with a smile, and his impression of Jin Bo has also improved a lot.
"I hope our decision is not wrong, I hope he and our daughter have a good marriage, and live a happy life in the future." Ru's mother fantasized about the beautiful scenes of his and her daughter's future lives, and couldn't help but laugh.
After Jinbo had everything ready, he decided to cook the pork first. He also looked at the water that Xiao Wei had added, it was almost appropriate to cook the meat, he carefully poured the pieces of pork into the cauldron, and he asked Xiao Wei to start adding wood to boil the water. After the water boiled, there were circles of dirty foam in the pot, and he used a long spoon to skim it carefully, and when the foam appeared again, he skimmed it again, and repeated it several times, and no foam appeared.
At this time, he put the ingredients for cooking meat into the pot and added some cooking wine and salt. After doing all this work, Jin Bo finally breathed a sigh of relief and could take a breather. After a while, the smell of meat wafted from the kitchen, causing Jia'er to run to the kitchen to take a look. When he saw the hot steam in the pot and the large pieces of meat boiling in the pot, he drooled greedily, and not only asked:
"Brother-in-law, when will it be cooked?"
After saying this, Jia'er herself was a little surprised. She is the most disgusted with Jin Bo, and she doesn't recognize him from the bottom of her heart, but today she unconsciously called out her brother-in-law, did she recognize him?
When Jin Bo heard Jia'er, who had always rejected him, he actually called his brother-in-law, and he didn't feel tired, and he was recognized by Jia'er, no matter how hard and tired it was, it was worth it, so he replied with a smile:
"Wait patiently, when you can easily insert the meat with chopsticks, it will be cooked, and then take it out for you to taste first."
"Brother-in-law, this is not fair, I have been tired here for a long time, how can I let her taste it first, we should both taste it first." Xiao Wei, who was adding firewood under the stove, interjected with a smile.
"Haha...... I'll take out a big piece and divide it into three small pieces, let's taste it together." Jin Bo said happily, and the kitchen was full of joy.
