Wash the rice, add water four times the amount of rice you normally cook, then pour the marinated pork ribs into the pot and wait for the ribs to cook.

The pork ribs are delicious and tender, rotten but not greasy, the soup is moderately salty, and it is the best to eat with rice.

Let Guan Shan burn the two pots together, and Ji began to prepare the next dish, sweet and sour tenderloin.

Wash the pork loin and remove the fascia, cut the loin strips of equal length and width with a knife, put them in a porcelain bowl, add egg white, water, flour and pea flour and grasp well.

Take another small porcelain bowl and add salt, sugar, vinegar, minced green onion and ginger to make a sweet and sour sauce.

Add oil to the wok and heat it until it is 80% hot, put in the tenderloin strips one by one, fry them over medium heat until the surface of the meat strips turns yellow, remove them with a colander, cool and drain the oil.

In order to achieve the effect of charring the outside and tenderness on the inside, fry it one more time and use high heat for the second time, which can make the tenderloin strips more crispy.

After the tenderloin strips are fried, put the excess oil into an empty oil tank, leave a little oil in the pan, and stir-fry the minced ginger and garlic until fragrant. Pour in the sweet and sour sauce, beat it thinly, and then put all the fried golden tenderloin strips into it and stir-fry until the sauce is fully combined with the tenderloin strips, remove and put on a plate, sprinkle some green onions on top, and a sweet and sour crispy sweet and sour tenderloin is ready.

It's a pity that there is no tomato sauce, otherwise the color can be fried until bright red and shiny.

Ji Guang was already hungry when he smelled the authentic sweet and sour taste, so he couldn't help but eat a few more, and gave a pair of chopsticks to Guan Shan, and then put the plate into the warm cage.

Next is sweet and sour meatballs.

Chop the fat and lean pork into a meat puree, add an appropriate amount of green onion, ginger and minced garlic, salt, pepper, egg liquid and sweet potato powder and stir clockwise to make the filling.

Take an appropriate amount of minced meat and beat it back and forth in your hand to form meatballs for later use.

When the oil temperature in the pan is 70% hot, carefully put in the balls, fry them over medium heat until golden brown, remove and drain the oil.

Then add soy sauce, vinegar and sugar in proportion, mix well, pour into the pot, add the fried meatballs, bring to a boil over high heat, and simmer over medium heat for a while

After the pot is boiled, thicken and reduce the thick soup on high heat.

The fish I bought yesterday was still swimming in the wooden basin, and the pork ribs had been steamed, so Ji asked Guan Shan to free up his hands to kill the fish and remove the scales, clean the chamber and wash it, planning to make a sweet and sour crispy fish.

When the dish was ready, she realized that three of the four dishes were sweet and sour.

It's not enough, she can't wait to cook a sweet and sour feast.

Like sweet and sour pork, sweet and sour lotus root, sweet and sour fish fillet, sweet and sour pork ribs, sweet and sour eggplant, sweet and sour yam, sweet and sour sour sluggling pork, sweet and sour loose flowers......

However, firstly, some ingredients are not available, and secondly, not everyone likes sweet and sour mouths. Even if you like it, you will get tired of it if you have too much.

So in the end, I made a few popular dishes, such as pot-wrapped meat, steamed fish, boiled pork slices, chestnut roast chicken, etc., and vegetarian ones such as three fresh, braised eggplant, vinegared cabbage, mapo tofu, etc.

It was estimated that it was enough, and this allowed Guanshan to cease fire.

Ji Xuelan had already called Hu Liang and Ji Mingfang, she originally wanted to go into the stove room to help, but when she saw Guan Shan there, she tacitly returned to the hall, and only then came in to serve the dishes after listening to Ji shouting for dinner.

The others washed their hands and set the table under Hu Liang's beckoning.

Mother Xu was very reluctant not to go, every time she wanted to go to the stove room, she was dragged by Widow Xie to talk, and a few people in her family waited to eat.

Then the crowd was about to take their seats, and there was another knock at the door, and peace had come.

He agreed to help Ji inquire about the store, and he was not idle at all in the past two days, and almost ran Yeyang all over, and finally found two that met the requirements, and he came to inform Ji when he was too busy.

When I entered the hall and saw the table full of dishes full of colors and aromas, Ping'an's mouth was about to grin to the root of my ears, and I said that I had come by chance.

asked Ji if he could pinch and calculate, and expected that he would come today, so he prepared so many delicious foods in advance and waited for him.

Ji added dishes and chopsticks to him: "That's good, I not only invited guests to this table, but also repaid the favor of you to help find a room, killing two birds with one stone." ”

Everyone talked and laughed, but their eyes all drifted to the table, especially the four members of the Xu family who had never tried Ji's craftsmanship.

This plate of dishes is beautiful just by looking at it, smelling it is fragrant, and the saliva is about to be greedy.

Ji raised chopsticks and said: "The dishes are going to be cold, let's hurry up and move the chopsticks." ”

Mother Xu clamped the sweet and sour loin closest to her, and as soon as she chewed it twice, her eyes widened.

"It's ...... Made of vinegar for fuku? ”

Ji nodded: "What does my aunt think?" ”

"This, this...... It's so flavorful, too! ”

To be honest, she also cooks with autumn oil and vinegar, but it feels like that.

Soy sauce tends to make dishes dark, and vinegar can easily spoil dishes, so she doesn't like to use them very much.

How can the same thing, in Ji's hands, become so, so ...... Mother Xu didn't know how to describe it.

Xu Laifu looked at this table of dishes, and he also had a share of his credit.

The plate of braised pork in front of him, the soup is evenly wrapped on the meat, red and gluttonous, the meat is fragrant and not greasy, even the lean meat is not hard or woody.

The plate of sweet and sour tenderloin that made my mother's appetite so great that she couldn't stop the chopsticks was sweet and sour, and the teeth and cheeks were fragrant, even if it was swallowed in the stomach for a long time, it still had an endless aftertaste.

There are also sweet and sour meatballs, sweet and sour crispy fish......

Xu Laifu tried it one by one, and his heart was mixed.

So, it's really not his stuff that's bad......

Talking and laughing in the hall, the meal was very lively, and at the end of the bowl, the bowl was clean, and the belly of the melon was round.

After the meal, there was no hurry to withdraw the table, and everyone sat and gossiped for a while.

First, Xu Shi asked Ji for advice on how to make a few dishes, and it could be seen that she liked the sweet and sour taste very much.

Ji taught her a simple and easy-to-remember recipe for mixing sweet and sour sauce: one wine, two sauces, three sugars, four vinegars, and five waters.

One spoonful of cooking wine, two tablespoons of soy sauce, three tablespoons of sugar, four tablespoons of vinegar, five tablespoons of water.

Cooking wine can be replaced with rice wine. But all sweet and sour dishes can be made with this sweet and sour sauce.

Ji Xuelan followed up and asked if the dish was filled with five-spice powder.

She took back a few packets before, listened to the season, and added some five-spice powder to the stew, and never thought the meat could taste so fragrant.

Yang's fried cabbage radish even wanted to add some, but she tried it and felt that vegetarian dishes such as cabbage radish were more suitable for spicy fresh.

Hearing the five-spice powder and spicy freshness, Xu Laifu interjected: "Is it the thing produced in Baiweifang that you said?" ”

Ji then remembered that he hadn't taken him to the backyard to see it.

The two went to the finished room in the backyard together, talked alone for a while, and then went back to the front yard.

Ji Shun took a few packets of prepared spices in his hand, divided them equally with Xu Mu and Ping'an, and asked them to take them back to try.

Ping'an had to rush back to Yeyang, didn't dare to stay longer, and left happily with his things.

He borrowed someone else's carriage this time, and Ji Mu sent him away, only to remember that he forgot to let him take the horse with him.

But tomorrow I have to go to Yeyang to see the house, and I will send it over myself.

When I returned to the hall, the table was put away and the floor was swept away.

Hu Liang and Ji Mingfang had already gone back to work, and Widow Xie and Ji Xuelan were also leaving, and they were left behind by Ji.

"Aunt Xie, cousin, don't leave yet, I have something to tell you......"
