"Oh, isn't this Miss Qiao?" Zhang Butcher, who sells meat, often sent meat to Dingxianglou a few years ago, and he is an old acquaintance with Qiao Wan.

"Hello Uncle Zhang." Qiao Wan greeted with a smile, and then looked at his meat stall.

By this time, it was already afternoon, and there was not much good pork left on the butcher stall, only some large bone sticks, and the meat on them was almost shaved.

"Miss Qiao, it's really unfortunate that I killed a pig today, and at this point, it's almost sold, and the good meat is gone."

Qiao Wan came here, she really didn't buy meat.

She reached out and picked up a few large bones and looked at them.

Then he looked up at Zhang Butcher with a smile and said, "I want these two leg bones, Uncle Zhang, you can give them cheaper!" ”

This kind of shaved bones is not very easy to sell, Zhang Butcher originally planned to take it home and stew it for himself, but he didn't expect Qiao Wan to ask for it, he was very happy, as long as ten yuan.

"Uncle Zhang, in the future, can you please leave me two bone sticks every day?"

"Okay, no problem! When the time comes, I'll send you to Dingxiang Building! ”

"No, when the time comes, I'll ask him to come and get it, and you can keep it." Qiao Wan pointed at Hu Laipi and said.

Zhang Butcher agreed, and Qiao Wan led Hu Laipi and went to buy some green vegetables, two live chickens, and some spices.

These raw materials cost Qiao Wan a total of two dollars of silver.

After leaving the vegetable market and returning to Dingxianglou, the first thing they did was to dispose of the live chickens and big bone sticks they had just bought.

I bought these two things for the pot of old broth in Dingxianglou.

The old soup stock of Dingxianglou has a history of several decades and has a mellow taste, and it is all dependent on it to improve the flavor of cooking and soup.

However, although the old soup is good, it is also precious.

Qiao Wan plans to make noodle soup for breakfast, if the soup base of each bowl of noodles is made of old soup, it won't take a few bowls, and the pot of old soup will have to see the bottom.

Therefore, she plans to start another pot, use the old soup as the base, and then start boiling the soup again with new ingredients.

The pork bone stick bought cheaply from Zhang Butcher, Qiao Wan asked Hu Laipi to help clean it, and then used an axe to smash the bone stick open-

This step is quite important.

When the smashed leg bones are boiled in the soup, the bone marrow inside will flow out and increase the aroma of the soup base.

The two chickens were killed, the feathers and internal organs were removed, cleaned up, and together with the big bone sticks and spices, they were put into the soup, and then water was added, and the fire boiled first, and the foam floating on it was skimmed out, and finally turned to a simmer and simmered.

Simmer for a few hours, and by tomorrow morning, the pot will turn into stock.

There is the original old soup as the base, and new ingredients are added to boil, the taste is mellow, and fragrant, you can't go wrong!

Qiao Wan added coal to the bottom of the pot to keep the fire in the stove from going out, and she had to go out with Hu Lai Pi to buy.

"Third sister-in-law, where are we going this time?" Hu Laipi saw that Qiao Wan was going out, so he hurriedly asked earnestly.

"Go to the Nine Mile River Wharf."

"Going to the docks? Third sister-in-law, you wait for me a little, I'll go out and come back immediately, don't leave me alone and leave first! Hu Laipi said this without a clue and ran out.

Although Qiao Wan felt a little inexplicable, she was still waiting for him in the store.

Hulaipi went for about a quarter of an hour before returning.

"Where have you been and what have you been doing?" Qiao Wan couldn't help but ask.

Hu Laipi smiled and said, "Third sister-in-law, you will know when you come out and see!" ”
