Chapter 41: Braised pork
When she came back, Mother Xu had already separated all the internal organs with her hands and feet.
"I'm going to sell braised pork and do some small business, these are all braised pork." Without waiting for Xu's mother's inquiry, Tang Shiyu took the initiative to explain.
"But I won't!"
"Neither will I"
Mother Xu: "......"
Mother Xu was dumbfounded, wouldn't she do anything?
"I've bought everything back, let's make it a few more times, and then change it if the taste is not good." Tang Shiyu suppressed the smile in her eyes, she felt that Mother Xu's eyes were round, and her silly appearance was quite cute.
"Okay, these things aren't worth much anyway, if it happens, we won't have to worry about it in the future." Mother Xu had forgotten the previous distress about the silver, and she thought about it anyway, and if she didn't do it, she would be ruining it. Besides, in the area of cooking, she is very confident in herself.
When it was time to clean up the intestines, the two had a difference of opinion. Tang Shiyu said that it could be washed with flour, but Xu's mother didn't want to spoil things, and in the end Tang Shiyu had the upper hand.
Crush all the ingredients to be used today, and then put them in small gauze bags according to the proportion, and change them again if you feel that the taste is wrong. As for why it is crushed, it will be more flavorful and will not be too wasteful.
The skeleton of this ingredient is made up of five spices, which she vaguely remembers as star anise, cinnamon, cumin, cloves, and peppercorns, which are also the basis of the traditional five spices.
The spices used to remove the smell and remove the smell are nutmeg, angelica, kaempfera, white button, ginger, bay leaves, tangerine peel, pepper, grass fruit, etc., which she can't remember clearly.
The spices that cover the smell are cumin, coriander seeds, jatamansi, citronella, angelica, and spirit grass, and she doesn't want to add the rest.
The reason why she remembers these things is that some people say that it is too difficult to make braised pork, but she doesn't believe in this evil and buys something to make it herself. It's a pity that she was not very old at that time, and she didn't have any concentration, and she finally died.
If she knew that she would change her body again and still live in an ancient era with low productivity, she would definitely memorize all the encyclopedias, but unfortunately there is no regret medicine in the world.
She can only rely on that memory to slowly grope now, maybe she can really make it, people have to set a small goal for themselves, in case it is achieved!
After the ingredients were ready, Tang Shiyu took off the skin of the two pieces of meat, broke the big bones, and kept them for old soup. And Mother Xu's side, she was killing the old mother with a painful face.
After she had shed the blood from the large bones and skins, she fished out the skins and removed the fat from the skin, which she did because the fat in the skin would affect the taste of the soup.
The main reason for adding meat skin is to enhance the concentration in the old soup, so that the marinated meat looks more oily and fuller.
By the time she was busy here, Mother Xu had already killed the chicken. Although the old hen struggled hard before she died, she still did not escape the poisonous hands of Mother Xu.
She placed the large broken bones at the bottom of the pot, and placed the flesh skin and the old hen that had been chopped into large pieces and had fallen from the bloody water on top. The main reason is that I am afraid that the meat skin will be pasted to the bottom, and if it is pasted, there will be a burning smell, and everything will be in vain.
The rest is simple, wait for the water to boil, put down the green onions, garlic, ginger and white wine, cook for two hours about the old soup, and finally filter out the soup.
Fortunately, there are two pots in the kitchen, one pot can cook old soup, and the other can also make braised pork.
In order not to spoil things, and in order to save time, they first practiced with pig hearts and lungs. Wash these two things, put them in a basin, add wine and water, and soak them for half an hour to remove the blood.
With extra time to clean up the large intestine, Tang Shiyu can still clean up without changing her face, but Xu's mother's face is a little ugly, because it is the first time she has made these things.
"Mother, I'll clean it up, you go and watch the fire at the bottom of the pot, in case the house is lit." Tang Shiyu casually found an excuse to support Xu's mother.
"It's okay, I'm also from a bitter family, but the blessings I only enjoy after following my wife are not so delicate." Tang Shiyu's words made Xu's mother feel warm, she knew that this was the eldest lady who felt sorry for her.
"It's good that you look at these things in front of you as silver, that's what I think." In fact, she lied to Xu's mother, and the truth is that she regarded these as braised pig intestines.
"Not to mention, it's really not disgusting to think about it." Mother Xu's face was much better.
All right! One of them is open-minded when he sees money, and the other is a foodie, a perfect match!
When the hour is up, boil a pot of water in another pot, put the soaked pig heart and pig lungs together and boil it again.
The following is the most critical place, put the ingredient packet in and put the right amount of salt, until the meat is boiled and then take it out.
After the old soup is boiled, take out the contents and put the braised pork and the ingredient packet in to cook.
"Mother, how about it taste?" Tang Shiyu cut off a piece and pinched it directly to Xu's mother's mouth with her hand.
"Yes, it's delicious." Mother Xu's eyes lit up, and she succeeded in casually smashing it.
"So be it!" She just doesn't want to improve anymore, this is already her extraordinary performance. She still likes to sell coolies to make money, because that doesn't use brains, but it backfires!
It took a busy whole day to marinate everything, and their day's meal was to bake a few cakes and eat braised pork.
"Mother, go to bed early, don't stay up late." It's been a busy day today, and she's tired, not to mention Mother Xu! The other party is taking out the clothes that she didn't make before, and plans to stay up all night to get them ready.
"You go to sleep first, and you'll be fine, and you won't have to wear this dress tomorrow." Mother Xu threaded the needle and threaded, ready to stay up all night and fight.
"Mother, let's make me two short fights!" Every set of clothes made by Xu's mother was as detailed as a work of art, and she couldn't bear to wear them to work.
"It's okay, it's just a matter of working a little more and making more fabric." In Xu's mother's heart, Tang Shiyu is also a girl when she wears men's clothes, how can she let the eldest lady's butt leak out every day and be seen by others!
"Tomorrow I have to go to the street to sell braised pork, and I am so well dressed that people will think that I am not a businessman." She could imagine the scene, she was standing in front of a stall in a delicate military uniform, and passers-by had to look at her a few more times.
"You can't wear a short fight, the neckline is too big, and if the belt is loose, it's troublesome." Mother Xu didn't agree with anything, she couldn't let Tang Shiyu run out at any time just because she saved fabric and effort.
Tang Shiyu "......"
It doesn't matter if the belt is loose, she still has a white cloth wrapped around her chest anyway! These are two people of different eras, different ideas.
The two of them then chatted about the price of selling braised meat tomorrow, the meat is set at 25 Wen, and the other messy ones are set at 10 Wen, is it a small profit but a quick turnover!
