What's wrong? Widow Xie was gnawing on the duck's neck, and she was a little puzzled when she saw Ji Yu frowning and didn't seem to be very satisfied.

"I just feel that something is missing...... "It seems that this marinated recipe is not the most suitable for duck neck."

Ji Xuelan and Widow Xie agreed that the duck neck was marinated very well, it was delicious, and there was no problem at all.

Ji Yu didn't say anything more.

Then the marinated eggs were eggs, dried tofu, and a plate of tofu that I bought from Uncle Fu when I came back from Yeyang in the morning.

The washed eggs are first boiled in a pot of boiling water over low heat, removed and cooled, and then peeled off the eggshells, then put them into the brine, and then take them out after 30 minutes of low heat.

The procedure is similar to that of tofu, while tofu is more troublesome.

It should be cut into thick slices of less than two centimeters, then fried in a 60% hot oil pan until golden brown, and then put it into the braised soup, and marinate it for 10 minutes on low heat to fully absorb the flavor.

In fact, strictly speaking, a pot of good brine should strictly prohibit the mixing of various ingredients.

For example, offal, earthy smell, bloody smell, smoked products, and high starch content, if these are put together and marinated, not only the peculiar smell will be strung together, but also affect and damage the taste and color of the old marinade, and the finished product can not be put on the table.

In principle, the heavy content of mixed fat, such as pig trotters, pig ears, pork knuckles, pig head meat, pig tail, chicken feet, chicken wings, whole chicken, whole duck, duck paws, duck wings, duck head, duck neck, etc., should be made uniformly with a pot of brine.

In the process of marinating, these ingredients will overflow the oil, aroma and collagen into the brine respectively to form a multi-layer oil brine, which will make more and more oil brine, and after more than three times of marinating, the taste will get better and better.

The offal and other earthy ingredients with a strong smell, such as pork fat intestines, pig hearts, pork belly, pig tongue, chicken hearts, chicken gizzards, duck hearts, duck gizzards, duck intestines, etc., are best made in separate pots or another pot of brine.

Finally, for smoked products such as dried tofu, the smoky flavor will soak into the brine and affect the brine; For vegetarian dishes, potatoes and lotus roots, which are ingredients with high starch content, the accumulation of starch will make the brine darker and saltier. These two are also best to use the method of halogenation.

However, at present, there are not many ingredients, and the hardware facilities are not very available, so there is no too fine distinction to distinguish.

Anyway, it is just a retail operation in the early stage, and when the conditions arise in the future, a special empty room will come out, and a few more pots will be placed, and it will not be too late to pay attention to it when the time comes.

After the last pot was marinated, the sun had already set.

The cries of A, B, C and Ding came from far and near, and in the blink of an eye, the four figures rushed into the stove room one after another, and they were hungry by the smell of the halogen in the room, and their tongues stretched out.

Fortunately, the rules were not taught in vain, just standing there shaking his head and tail, and he didn't pick and pull.

Except for Xiao Ding, a pampered and arrogant guy.

It doesn't pull anything else, just pulls Ji Yu's legs.

Ji Yu couldn't make a move, so she wanted Ji Xuelan to get them out.

Not to mention that Ji Xuelan was already afraid of dogs, just thank the widow, who is not afraid of dogs, and gave birth to A, B, C and Ding, now they are a little stunned.

Rhubarb looks very ordinary, no different from the ordinary dogs in the village, how to give birth to four cubs, one race and one fierce, one race and one strong.

It's bluffing to look at it from afar, let alone get close.

Ji Yu thought for a while, and shouted outside, "Guan Shan? Dabao. ”

These four guys are back, and Guan Shan and Dabao should also be back.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for footsteps to come from the backyard to the frontyard.

The first to appear at the door of the stove room were Dabao and Rhubarb.

Dabao's hair was unkempt, his face was dirty, and his body was dusty, and he didn't know that he thought he had fallen.

Widow Xie looked distressed, and after asking if he had fallen, she quickly washed his hands and gave him something to eat.

Dabao was indeed hungry, but he was still reluctant to accept the feeding of others, raised his head and looked at Ji Yu with his eyes.

Ji Yu poked him on the forehead, picked up a dried braised and stuffed it into his mouth.

Dabao chewed twice, and his tired little face showed a little satisfaction.

"Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious."

However, the happiness did not last long, because Guan Shan also entered the stove room.

He looked at Dabao quietly.

Dabao got up with a straight face, and went back to his room with the lo-mei plate that Widow Xie had packed for him.

Ji Yu handed him the chicken bones and pork bones that he had fished out when cooking the soup before: "Feed this to A, B, C, D, and rhubarb." ”

Guan Shan nodded and went to the courtyard with a basin.

The three women began to put the finishing touches on it.

After all the lo-mei was packed, seeing Ji Yu walking towards the pot table with a basin and spoon, Widow Xie looked at the pot, and there was almost no shortage of braised soup, and she thought that she was going to pour it out like this.

"This—This is thrown away? It's a pity ......."

Ji Yu couldn't cry or laugh.

"How is it possible, Aunt Xie, the older the braised soup is, the more fragrant it becomes. Every time you finish marinating something, just dispose of the oil slick and then put it in a cool place without touching it, and you can store it for a long time. ”

Naturally, the older the better.

The more you use it, the longer it lasts, the better the quality, and the better the taste.

In the previous life, some century-old lo-mei shops, I don't know how good the business was. Their old halogen is not only a treasure of the town, it is simply the root of life.

Ji Xuelan was curious, "How long can it be put on, and it will be done next year?" Does it not taste good? ”

"Says it's okay......"

When storing brine, the most important part is to "boil".

In spring, summer and autumn, bacteria breed and the climate is hot, so you have to boil two to three times a day.

In winter, the temperature plummets, so just boil it once a day.

If the braised soup is not used for a long time, then it only needs to be boiled once every two days in summer and autumn, and once every four days in winter and spring, and the braised soup will not become sour and tasteless.

The boiling broth must be kept in a fixed place before it is cooled.

In addition, before each marinade, it is necessary to check the color of the soup, the salty taste, the amount of soup, the intensity of the aroma, etc.

Add salt when it is light, add fresh soup when it is salty, fry the sugar color lightly, change the spices for the fragrance is insufficient, in short, the green onion and ginger cooking wine, what is missing, so that the quality can be guaranteed.

The replacement cycle of spice packets should also be noted.

After using a pot of brine three or four times, the aroma of the spices is almost consumed, and a new spice package needs to be added to it. And if the amount of marinated food is relatively large every day, you have to change it more frequently.

If she raises this lo-mei recipe for half a year, even if it is not as good as those century-old lo-mei shops, it is more than enough to compete with ordinary lo-mei shops.

But it's hard for her to say this pot, after all, the dried tofu is not scooped out and marinated separately......

It doesn't matter, she is not very satisfied with this pot anyway, and she will change it later.

I heard that there was no need to throw it away, so Widow Xie was relieved, and she took the lid of the pot and covered it.

"No need to cover, Aunt Xie, it's not okay to put the braised soup in the pot, I bought a clay pot."

As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Shan came in with a clay pot.

He also brushed the clay pot after buying it, and dried it in the yard for a day, and the inner and outer walls were already dry.

Widow Xie said, "Put it in the pot to save more trouble." ”

Ji Yu shook her head, "I'm going to take Yeyang tomorrow, which line is in the pot." ”

Even if it's not an iron pot, an iron bucket, or even a wooden barrel, it won't work.

Iron is prone to rust, wood has an odor, and neither is insulated.

It is best to use clay pottery products to store brine, because the pottery body is thick, which can avoid the influence of external heat.

"So many ......"

"I'll deal with this, it's getting dark, you two hurry back, I won't leave you to eat."

Widow Xie and Ji Xuelan couldn't resist Ji Yu, and walked away with a pot of soup and lo-mei.

Ji Yu pointed to the pot door, and Guan Shan spontaneously walked over to fill the firewood.

After each brine of food, the brine must be boiled before preservation, and it is important to keep the brine clean.

Ji Yu beat her waist with one hand, and held a spoon with the other, skimming off the excess oil slick on it, and then beating the foam out. After it has almost cooled, let Guan Shan take a handle and strain the soup with gauze.

After all the brine was put into the clay pot, a gauze cover was made to cover it, and Ji Yu's physical strength was completely exhausted.

After that, brushing pots, basins, and dishes, all these tasks were taken over by Guan Shan.

Dinner is also simple, cook a pot of rice, and eat with those lo-mei.

Although Guan Shan is not a Kuakua clan, his appetite is clearly open, and even Dabao has eaten two more bowls of rice, and Rhubarb and A, B, C, and Ding gnaw bones and gnaw very happily.

Only Ji Yu, who smelled the smell for a long time, was already full.

Seeing others eating well, I can only look up and sigh, miserable!
