CHAPTER XXXVII
Liu returned to his house, Zhao Jin was already preparing dinner in the kitchen, looking at her face, he didn't seem to be able to tell whether it was good or bad, Liu hesitated whether to say something, but after thinking about it, they were already mature people. Zhao Jin really didn't take it to heart, she was not glass-hearted, she was so sensitive that others would be heartbroken when they said a few words, in her eyes, Xia was probably a stranger with only blood relationship. She is planning to make braised pig's trotters in the kitchen, pig's trotters are a beauty product for girls, replenishing collagen, she is now the best age to absorb nutrients, she plans to eat once in a while to make her skin look whiter and more delicate.
Zhao Jin bought two pig's feet from the bazaar, she skillfully peeled the pig's trotters with a knife, and after a while, two complete pig's trotters were placed on the wooden board, and the shape of the pig's trotters could be vaguely seen, and then the pig's hair was scalded with fire, and the hair on the surface of the pig was scorched and then scraped clean with a knife, and then the pig's trotter skin was poured cooking wine to remove the fish, and a large piece of pork was selected to start chopping the meat, and after a while, Zhao Jin cleanly chopped the meat into minced meat, and then added ingredients to marinate. Zhao Jin picked up a small bowl of soaked peanuts and drained water and poured them into the pot, added the ingredients and began to stir-fry until the fragrance overflowed, she took out the fried peanuts and put them on the cutting board and cut them into powder. Zhao Jin put the meat, ground peanuts, according to the proportion of the filling, put it into the previous pig's trotter skin, found a thread to tie the filling and pig's trotter skin together, and then put it all into the pot, at this time the key point came, the ingredients are very important to the taste of the braised pig's trotters, which is related to the uniform taste.
Zhao Jin added a large amount of soy sauce, star anise, cinnamon, salt, oil, and green onion and ginger to the pot, covered the pot, and waited for the fragrance to penetrate. The rich aroma of meat wafted out of the lid, super tempting, "It's so fragrant!" "I smell hungry." The pillar and the Liu family both came in, it was too fragrant, and the bolt in the third room was also carefully hidden outside the kitchen door, revealing a head to look inside, and his eyes clearly showed longing, he had never smelled such fragrant food, and he had never smelled much meat. Zhao Jin estimated that it was almost time, opened the lid of the pot, took a plate and a bowl, she filled both of them, she must have sent one to Zhao's house, this kind of trivial matter, she doesn't care about it.
The pillar obediently brought a bowl over, and the bolt looked at him with a blank look, and the hot and fragrant people were getting hungrier and hungrier all the way, and the upper room was also ready to eat, and the dishes were already on the table, just waiting for everyone, looking at the things brought by the pillar, their eyes were glowing green, and their saliva was about to flow out. He couldn't wait for his grandfather to say that he would start the meal and then took a small bowl of meat, at first tried to bite it, then gnawed uncontrollably, and when he came back to his senses, the juice in the bowl was all licked by him and there was nothing left.
The meat has been soaked in brine from the inside out, and when you bite into it, the skin is soft and tender, elastic and refreshing, tender, and the rich flavor blooms in the mouth, leading the taste buds to a peak that has never been experienced. The filling inside the meat is soaked with juice, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes, and the crispy pork and the aroma of minced peanuts blend perfectly, and the taste is so good that it is so delicious. After eating, the plug keeps licking around his mouth, not letting go of any omissions, and constantly aftertaste. But a bowl of chopsticks and I will finish with chopsticks, and the plug finally grabbed the last piece, and he was reluctant to swallow this piece, and there was no more after eating, he had to taste it slowly. The pillar quietly withdrew as they swarmed up, and the others didn't care about him, and he wanted to go back and try his sister's handiwork.
When the pillar returned to the house, Zhao Jin was setting the table to eat, just when he came back, he could eat, the pillar washed his hands and sat down to eat, he sandwiched a chopstick meat, tasted it and finally understood why they couldn't even take care of him with cynicism, the meat was fat but not greasy, just right, melted in the mouth and strong, obviously it looked spicy but it was very mild and fit the stomach without feeling heartburn, and after eating, there was no strong meat taste in the mouth, and it would not become saltier and saltier the more you eat. Even Liu's usually don't eat meat, and people who feel tired of it even eat a few pieces, which shows how successful Zhao Jin's dish is, she actually likes this dish very much, and it is specially made to supplement nutrition.
I was satisfied with dinner and could sleep well, but I have been busy during the day recently, so I went to bed early and got up early. Zhao Jin got up before dawn, and he had a lot of things to do today, so he couldn't sleep lazy. She quickly made a pot of fragrant porridge, the pork ribs in the porridge were marinated and fried, the meat was full of fragrance, the soft and glutinous sweet potato gave off a faint sweet taste, and the whole stomach was very satisfied with the thick and fine millet entrance.
The pillar has also gotten up, and now he has developed a routine, and even Zhao Jin sighs at his self-control, the two of them go out to the town after eating, and the summer dawn is getting earlier and earlier, and it is already bright, which is also much more convenient. Zhao Jin still walked into the restaurant as usual, but she stepped in and found that the atmosphere was a little wrong, breakfast was usually very lively at this time, but today it was quiet, and she found the distressed shopkeeper at the counter with doubts. The shopkeeper was tapping on the table with a pen, frowning and thinking about something, she waved her hand in front of him and said, "Shopkeeper, come back to your senses, what are you thinking?" Why is there no one today? The shopkeeper quietly glanced at the second floor, then put a finger to his mouth and said, "Shhh Then he didn't care about the difference between men and women, and pulled Zhao Jin to the backyard, Zhao Jin looked at the shopkeeper mysteriously in confusion.
When she came to the backyard, the shopkeeper still whispered to her in a whispered voice: "Siya, there is a big man in our store." After speaking, he looked around for a while, and then said, "King Rui." Zhao Jin was a little familiar with this title, as if he had heard it somewhere, his mind flashed, remembering that it was Song Qing and his father, is this to take him back? Song Qing has been here for three months, and she still thinks that the palace has announced that he is dead outside, no matter what she asks, is there no family affection in front of power? She still asked, "Why did King Rui come here?" "It stands to reason that if you want to go, you should also go to the county princess's mansion, after all, my son and nephew are here, so it seems that the contradiction between the two mansions has reached an irreconcilable level, and it is no longer possible to get along well on the surface. The shopkeeper said: "I moved in yesterday evening, and I chartered the entire restaurant, saying that I wanted to live for a while." "The shopkeeper's worries are finally booming, the silver continues to flow in, and suddenly a Rui Wang has cut off his wealth, and he can't complain, and he has to be grateful to Dade, people are willing to live in to see you, and the shopkeeper can only grit his teeth and swallow it in his mouth. Zhao Jin can only help when he looks at it, who makes people have the right. The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and could only pray that this master would leave early.
