The seasoning is not very complete, Wang only picked up some of the existing achievements at home, wrapped in gauze, and put it aside for later use.

The chicken bones and pork bones are also ready, first put in cold water, add green onions, ginger, rice wine, and bring to a boil over high heat to skim off the foam.

After removing it, clean it and restart a pot of hot water, add the boiled chicken bones and pork bones, bring to a boil over high heat, then withdraw the firewood and turn to low heat and simmer.

"This, let's call it the first pot of soup, the old soup, is the key to making delicious braised vegetables."

Wang stirred the boiling marinade in the pot with a soup spoon while explaining to Lin Wei and Gu Xiaolian.

"Why the first pot of soup? Do you have to boil several pots in the future? Lin Wei was a little puzzled.

"Girl, you're right, after the first pot of soup is boiled, it should be stored in a special way, and the second time you stew chicken, meat or pork ribs, take it out and add water, and you only need to re-boil the seasoning that is halved this time, and put on all kinds of meat and vegetables you want to eat, and you can get a more delicious and delicious braised vegetables."

Wang continued: "This marinade, that is, the longer it is preserved and the more times it is stewed, the greater its umami and the stronger the fragrance. After repeated many times, the stewed meat tastes extremely beautiful, the stewed chicken has a meaty aroma, and the stewed meat has a chicken flavor, which is absolutely wonderful. ”

Lin Wei and Gu Xiaolian nodded obediently while listening, and let out a few exclamations from time to time.

"That's right."

"Uh-oh."

"The stewed chicken has a meaty aroma, and the stewed meat has a chicken flavor, no wonder the braised vegetables made by my mother every year are so delicious!"

Gu Xiaolian clapped her hands excitedly, and then frowned and said, "Then the one we newly boiled this year is used to make braised vegetables, isn't it as delicious as usual!" ”

"No, as long as it's made by my mother, everything is delicious."

Lin Wei shook his head and said, not feeling that he was patting himself at all.

Gu Xiaolian thought seriously for a while, and said with a smile: "That's right!" ”

Wang looked at the two of them angrily, and glared at Gu Xiaolian: "You think everything your sister says is right."

Gu Xiaolian muttered in a low voice, "That's true." ”

Wang didn't speak again, but he was obviously in a much better mood than Fang Cai, and the expression on his face was obviously loosened.

"Mother, will we use the old marinade or the new marinade later?" Lin Wei asked.

Wang pondered for a moment: "Divide it into two parts, and let you taste the gap between the new and old ones." ”

"Okay!"

Lin Wei responded with great interest.

In the past, I always felt that cooking was boring and boring, not only to prepare all kinds of ingredients, but also to brush the pot and wash the dishes, which was troublesome to death.

As a result, I didn't expect to come here to study with Wang for a few days, and I didn't feel so boring.

In particular, how beautiful it feels to be able to make a delicious dish by yourself and be praised by others.

In modern times, as a small accountant who has just graduated for a few years, Lin Wei spends most of his time dealing with numbers every day.

Because I work in an office, it is not uncommon to work overtime and stay up late to catch up with work, and there are very few opportunities to eat at home.

She didn't have much time or interest to develop her own food.

I finally survived the holiday, but I was so tired that I couldn't wait to lie on the bed and not get up.

In addition, she has her parents by her side, and she cooks ready-made delicious food for her every day.

Not having a chance to do it is secondary, mainly because she never thought of doing it herself.

Maybe it's too idle to come here.

And because there are systematic tasks on the table, it gives her time to study delicious food with Wang.

Although she has only learned a little bit so far, such as how to stew fish soup, how to make braised fish, how to make steamed buns, how to cook rice and millet porridge and corn paste.

Just a few simple things also added a lot of interest to her ancient life.

Oh! That's right!

She has also now learned to make marinades.

She can learn more about delicious food in the future!

If she can reunite with her parents in the future, she must make it for them to eat with her own hands, so that they can also taste their own craft.

After the soup is cooked, remove the chicken and pork bones and various seasonings, add the seasoning packets and salt, and secondly, add the pre-fried sugar.

Stir-fry the sugar color needs to fry the sugar over medium heat until it turns from white to yellow, then change to low heat, and finally wait until it turns from yellow to dark brown, and when it changes from large bubbles to small bubbles, add boiling water, and slowly fry to remove the mushy taste.

This grasp of the heat and the method of frying are very demanding, Lin Wei didn't learn it after watching it for a long time, thinking about looking back and estimating that it would take many times to practice, but their sugar was too little, and she was afraid that it would not be good for her to use it to practice for a while.

When she got the money she earned, she had to buy something more for the Gu family.

You can't buy expensive ones, so at least you have to prepare all the seasonings, right?

It's just enough for her!

During this period, it is necessary to add sugar color several times, which is to avoid the soup from hurting the color, so that the color of the braised vegetables is unsatisfactory.

After the new brine was boiled, Wang skimmed off a little oil slick.

"This layer of oil only goes to a thin layer, don't skim it all, if you go to the point, the fragrance of the brine is easy to disperse, and it is easier to break, if there is too much oil slick, the heat is not easy to disperse, and the brine is easy to break."

It turned out that there was such a particular thing, Lin Wei nodded clearly.

Draining the remaining impurities, Wang set aside some soup to make braised vegetables today, and put the rest into a clean clay pot to cool and seal for preservation.

At the same time, the old marinade was also moved out, water and ingredients were added again, and a pot of marinated vegetables was prepared to be made with the new marinade to taste it.

She had also heard of topics such as hundred-year-old halogen before, and said that the nitrite content of this thing must have exceeded the standard, but after testing, it seemed that she was slapped in the face.

She was now a little curious about how the marinade was preserved in ancient times.

Wang told her at this time that this old brine should be often taken out and reheated in spring, autumn and winter every year to prevent deterioration, and in summer, because the weather is much hotter than the other three seasons, the number of boiling times is more frequent.

Fortunately, Xiliu Village is located in the mountains, the climate is cool, the location is northern, and the temperature in the northeast is lower than in modern times, which saves a lot of trouble for boiling marinade in summer.

After all, in this era without refrigerators and preservatives, the lower the ambient temperature, the easier it is for things to store and not go to waste due to premature spoilage.

After the marinade was ready, Wang began to prepare the ingredients for the marinade.

Cut the dried tofu into medium-thick, equal-sized cubes and fry them in oil first.

The dried tofu does not need to be cut too thinly, and a slightly thicker one tastes better.

Fat sausage with vinegar, salt, corn starch kneaded and washed in clean water, add green onion ginger, star anise, bay leaves, pepper and cook for an hour, this will be taken out separately to marinate, otherwise it will destroy the taste of the whole pot of marinade.
