009 Chestnut wild boar
Song Erniu ignored her face and said coldly: "Wait until you pay back the money and then talk about the meat, as for your vegetable patch, I didn't let you step on it, you can find them yourself!" Don't ramble on this! β
Second sister-in-law Song was so angry that her chest shook, and she said unwillingly: "Then I'll go and tell the people in the village what kind of person your sister-in-law is!" β
Song Erniu smiled crookedly, took out the broken firewood knife from the bamboo basket, and slowly played with it in her hand: "Go and say, anyway, you have said enough on weekdays, what bad news about me didn't come from you, second sister-in-law, I don't know if you look at me?" β
After she finished speaking, she suddenly put the firewood knife up and gestured: "Although this firewood knife is broken, it is really good, the wild boar skin is so tough, I can break it with a little strength, it's really easy to kill somethingββ"
After speaking, she looked at Song's second sister-in-law intentionally or unintentionally.
The evil look in her eyes frightened Song Er's sister-in-law into taking two steps back, and her lips trembled so much that she couldn't speak.
"Sister-in-law, let's go!"
Song Erniu threw the firewood knife into the bamboo basket, lifted the bamboo basket and beckoned Sister-in-law Fang to leave, leaving behind two angry women, and Chu Mufeng, who was leaning on the door and looking at her back for a long time and couldn't take his eyes off it.
I walked for an hour in Uncle Cheng's ox cart before I came to the county, and it was already two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and the hot sun shone overhead, making people dizzy for a while.
Song Erniu talked with the people who entered the county together, and it was not until they arrived at the destination that they suddenly became energetic.
"My car is here, and when the sun is about to set, we will hurry back, this season is not peaceful." Uncle Cheng instructed everyone, and then deliberately said to Song Erniu: "Your wild boar is so good, it's best to sell it in a restaurant, they have a lot of money and can afford it." β
"Uncle Cheng, how much should wild boar meat be sold for?" Song Erniu scratched her head and asked.
"Your pork is fresh and good, and it is not less to sell for 20 yuan a catty, remember to go to the big restaurant." Uncle Cheng gave a price.
Song Erniu probably had a bottom in her heart, nodded vigorously, and then picked up the bamboo basket and followed her memory to the "Tai'an Building".
This is the largest restaurant in the county, and merchants like to come here to talk about business, so this is Song Erniu's first goal.
She asked a few people, found the backyard of Tai'an Building, took a deep breath, stepped forward and asked the little guy guarding the door, "Do you want wild boar?" β
"Wild boar?" The little girl looked at her a few times and knew that she had come from the village to sell wild goods.
"I just hit it at noon today, it's very fresh, you can take a look." Song Erniu put down the bamboo basket and showed him the goods.
When the little guy saw the big black boar, he was startled: "Ho, it's really big enough." β
"The most important thing is freshness, you look at the quality of the meat, keep it." Song Erniu pressed her hand on the back buttocks of the wild boar and motioned for him to look.
"It's good, but I can't be the master of buying it or not, you wait, I'll ask the steward."
With that, he turned around and entered the courtyard, leaving Song Erniu leaning against the courtyard gate, waiting with a sigh of relief.
There were a few shouts from behind, Song Erniu turned around to look back, and saw that it was two gangsters who hooked their shoulders and were slightly drunk.
The thug looked at her twice, and walked away with a vague step.
The servant brought a man with a goatee.
The man twisted his beard and looked at the wild boar, a little embarrassed: "The prices of the vegetables in the building are set, and it is not easy to change the price with this good pork, it is too much money." Besides, this wild boar meat has a big taste and is not easy to handle. β
Song Erniu hurriedly said: "Although wild boar has its own unique fishy taste, if it is handled with a certain method, it can also become delicious." And you can make another brand, write a dish made of wild boar on it, and then say that this is a limited game dish, and the guests of Tai'an House are all generous owners who are not bad for money, and they are willing to try it. β
The steward's face moved, and he seemed to be a little moved, but he still hesitated, and at this time, the little servant offered a plan on the side: "It's better to ask Master Wang to see what dishes can be made." β
"Cheng, you go and invite him." The steward thought it was a good idea.
After the time of a cup of tea, the little maid brought a tall middle-aged man with a Chinese face, his face was calm, and he came to the front of the bamboo basket to look at the goods.
"It's really a good product, but the cook who cooks wild boar in the building has gone home to visit his family, and without his secret recipe, it's a waste to buy this wild boar."
When the steward heard this, he said, "Then there is no way-"
"Wait, I also have a secret recipe to make wild boar meat delicious, let me try it!" Song Erniu was anxious, thinking about the empty rice jar at home, and said busily.
The steward didn't believe it: "What can you have as a village woman-"
"Let her try." Master Wang interrupted the steward.
The steward was stunned: "Huh? β
"There are also a lot of good cooking methods in the countryside, and I'd like to see them." Master Wang's words gave Song Erniu a chance.
Song Erniu looked at him gratefully, picked up the wild boar and followed them to a small kitchen where the restaurant helpers cooked, she took out the wild boar, skillfully removed a piece of neck meat with a knife, burned off the outer hair with fire, and cleaned the skin.
Then they invited Master Wang out and began to process the pork.
Cut the pork into cubes, soak it in water to control the bleeding water, and then marinate it with cooking wine, soy sauce, salt, minced green onion and ginger, and the juice from the orange peel to prepare additional ingredients.
She saw that there were chestnuts and ham in the kitchen, so she decided to make a chestnut-flavored wild boar, cut the chestnuts, take out the chestnut meat inside, and then change the ham into small pieces, and then prepare ginger, garlic, dried peppers, star anise and other accessories.
Take out the marinated wild boar meat and change it into cubes the size of the dice seeds, blanch the remaining blood water in the water, spread a thin layer of oil in the pot, put in the wild boar meat to stir up the oil, and add ginger, garlic, dried pepper, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves and other spices in turn, stir-fry to bring out the fragrance.
The ham pieces are cooked together with the pork pieces until they are half-cooked, then seasoned, sprinkled with an appropriate amount of salt, sugar and white wine in the pot, stir-fried evenly and then added the chestnut meat, and then pumped the firewood until only one or two sticks remained, covered the pot and simmered.
Not daring to let the steward and cook outside the door wait, she invited the two of them into the room after covering the pot for a while.
"This smells ......" The steward frowned as soon as he entered the kitchen, and took a deep breath.
Chef Wang, on the other hand, closes his eyes and carefully discerns what kind of ingredients the aroma of the dish comes from.
"Ham, pork, and chestnuts β but the spices in them have a very special flavor ......"
Song Erniu smiled silently, standing in front of the stove with her hands behind her back, and that back actually revealed the same temperament as Chef Wang in the eyes of the steward.
The steward rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was stupid by the smoke, otherwise how could he think that this village woman and Chef Wang were of the same rank?
Song Erniu calculated the time and lifted the lid of the pot directly.
The thick aroma is accompanied by water vapor, like a thin aroma in the air that instantly becomes rich, and the delicacy hits the nostrils of those present in an irresistible manner.
Song Erniu withdrew the last two firewoods, put the dishes on a plate, and gently put them on the dining table: "Please ask Chef Wang to comment." β
Although there is no plating, and there is no deliberate control of the color and shape of the dish, the plate of chestnut wild boar in front of him still has a good appearance.
