Chapter Twenty-Nine: Cool Skin and Braised Pork
Xiao Yue nodded and went to the kitchen, the grass carp was cleaned and cut off the head and tail for retention, cut into two pieces along the middle of the fish bone, cut the fish fillet with an oblique knife, add an egg white to the fish fillet, add salt, flour, and the thirteen incense made by Xiao Yue herself, and marinate a cup of tea after grabbing it evenly.
Add salt to the water to cook the soybean sprouts, remove them, and place them on the bottom of a large bowl. Ginger and garlic are cut into slices, dried chili peppers are cut into sections, oil is poured into the pot and peppercorns are added to the pot to fry the fragrance, half of the chili peppers and peppercorns are taken out for later use, ginger and garlic are added and stir-fried, the fish head and tail are stir-fried, the hot water is added to the fish, the fish slices are put into the pot one by one after the water is boiled, and the fish fillets can be gently stirred with chopsticks to change color. Pour the fish fillet and fish soup into a large bowl with bean sprouts, put the remaining peppercorns and chili peppers on top and pour hot oil on them, sprinkle with chopped green onions and coriander, and the whole spicy and fragrant boiled fish is ready.
Xiao Yue also made a cold bean sprouts and fried pork with bean sprouts, and brought all the prepared dishes in. Shopkeeper Gao was really surprised after tasting it, it turned out that fish could still do this, and instructed Xiao Er to serve two more bowls of rice to Xiao Yue and Yang Changfa.
Xiao Yue didn't politely pull Yang Changfa and sat down, after coming here for so long, Xiao Yue was eating rice for the first time.
Yang Changfa felt that the dishes made by his daughter-in-law were really delicious, but he still didn't eat them anymore after eating a bowl outside.
The shopkeeper Gao looked at the two of them and said without eating, "The little lady's cooking is really at the level of a chef." ”
Xiao Yue smiled, "The shopkeeper is polite, I will only be a few of them, and I am still far from the chef." ”
"The little lady is polite, since it is not the first time we have cooperated, I believe that the little lady is still satisfied with our restaurant, then I will say bluntly that I don't know how the little lady's dishes are sold this time?"
"Of course I believe in Gui Restaurant, I believe in Gao Shopkeeper. This time, the dish sells this recipe for boiled fish, and the remaining two are relatively simple, so I will give it to your restaurant, and this recipe is 30 taels. ”
When the shopkeeper Gao heard this, he secretly sighed that this woman was really courageous, but he also understood that this bean sprout was the key to all dishes, "How can the little lady sell this bean sprout." ”
Xiao Yue thought for a while, "How about 15 Wen and a pound of tall shopkeepers?" Xiao Yue didn't want to sell the recipe for bean sprouts, after all, this was a long-term way to make money.
Shopkeeper Gao thought about it and agreed, "In this way, can you send 20 catties to our restaurant every day?" ”
"Yes, let my father-in-law deliver it every day, my father-in-law's name is Yang Changfa."
The shopkeeper Gao looked at Yang Changfa and said, "Okay, since they are all acquaintances, then I will call you Brother Changfa." ”
Yang Changfa smiled and said, "Of course, thank you to the shopkeeper Gao for being willing to buy our food." ”
"You're welcome."
It's still the same as last time, Xiao Yue said that the practice is high, and the shopkeeper records it, and it will be done after a while. Xiao Yue brought 5 catties of bean sprouts this time, which is 75 Wen plus 30 taels of vegetable recipes.
The shopkeeper Gao gave the money to Xiao Yue, and sent their husband and wife out with a smile, "Little lady, since I call your husband Brother Changfa, I will call you brother and sister in the future, you can sell any vegetables to Fuxingju in the future, I will definitely not make your husband and wife suffer." ”
"Okay, thank you Treasurer Gao."
Xiao Yue happily carried the money she earned, and went to the grocery store to buy salt, vinegar and other spices. I bought a lot of money to buy and sell, and I bought a few small jars so that I could bring them to the town. I bought a few spoons to scoop the spices, bought 30 bowls, 30 pairs of chopsticks, and that's it.
I went to the blacksmith shop again, and the dough gong is a disc with a diameter of about 70 centimeters and a depth of 5 centimeters, leaving two holes on the left and right sides, and wearing a rope in the middle to facilitate steaming the dough and taking it out. Because it is steamed dough, the gong is just a thin layer of iron sheet, and it takes about an hour to wait in the blacksmith shop for two dough gongs to be ready.
Xiao Yue went to the meat stall and bought pork liver, pig heart, large intestine, pig's trotters, etc., at this time, people would not get rid of the taste, so they didn't like to eat it. The few things Xiao Yue bought were very cheap, and she planned to make braised pigs into the water, so she bought another pot when she was in the blacksmith shop.
When she got home, she put everything in order, and she started to make braised pork, first of all, to clean the sewage. Cut the pig heart to wash away the dirty blood, and cut the pig liver into three leaves to wash the blood. The trotters are placed in hot water to remove the hair, and then the remaining hair is burned by lighting a fire. After turning over the large intestine of the pig, wash it with water, and rub it vigorously with salt to wash the dirt.
After these things are washed, add water to the pot and boil, put all the washed things in it and boil a cup of tea, put it in cold water to cool, and then remove it and drain it.
Put kaempfera, cloves, cinnamon, cumin, star anise, licorice, nutmeg, cinnamon, and tangerine peel into a cloth bag, and put it in a pot with soy sauce, green onion, ginger, sugar, white wine, and salt, add an appropriate amount of water to the pot, and boil over high heat to change to low heat. First put down the pig's trotters, and then after half an hour, the pig's heart, pig's liver, and pig's large intestine have been cooked over low heat, and the pig's trotters can be boiled out of the pot when the bones are prominent, and it can be cooled on the board after the pot.
It took a whole afternoon for the braised pork to be cooked, Xiao Yue brought down the pot of braised pork, the soup of this braised meat is the old soup, and it will be boiled every time you use it in the future, there will be dregs so you have to filter it often.
At dinner, because there was made braised pork, Xiao Yue cooked a cabbage tofu soup and steamed some steamed buns.
Yang Changfa was really amazed when he ate Xiao Yue's marinated pig in the water, "Daughter-in-law, the dishes made by this pig in the water are really delicious!" ”
Xiao Yue raised her chin high, "Of course, you don't look at who did it." ”
Yang Changfa looked at his daughter-in-law's arrogant little appearance and smiled even more happily.
The two of them here are beaming, and the people of the Yang family over there have their own thoughts, and the whole afternoon in the yard is full of the smell of braised meat, and the Wu family has been gloomy, and the two of them don't give themselves an end when they have meat. But because of the third official, no one in the Yang family went over to make trouble. After all, they finally broke up, and at this time, they were afraid that Yang Changfa and Xiao Yue would take advantage, so everyone smelled the fragrance and swallowed their saliva.
After the two finished eating, Xiao Yue took out all her belongings and calculated, "Changfa, we already have more than 70 taels of silver, and we can build a house if we save a little more." ”
Yang Changfa didn't expect that his family already had so much money, "Well, why don't we buy the homestead first." ”
Xiao Yue thought for a while, "It's actually okay for you to say that, we can do one thing now, after all, there are only two of us, so let's prepare some things slowly!" ”
Yang Changfa looked at Xiao Yue, "Daughter-in-law, it's really my luck to marry you." ”
"Of course, so you have to be nice to me, don't you?"
"Of course, you are my daughter-in-law, I am not good to you, I am good to anyone, I will be good to you in this life, in the next life, in the next life."
"Well, good. We're going to be together all the time. ”
The room was full of pink bubbles
Yang Changfa said after a while: "Daughter-in-law, then where do you say we buy our homestead!" ”
"Where else is there better in our village now?"
"There are two places at the entrance of the village, one in the middle of the village, and another at the end of the village."
"Let's buy the middle one! The location at the entrance of the village is not good, and it is not safe for people to come and go. The end of the village is too close to the Yang family, and the place in the middle is good, big enough and sunny, just there! Yang Changfa nodded in agreement.
The next day, Yang Changfa went to Lizheng's house with 10 taels of silver. Then he followed Li Zheng to the county.
When I came back, I brought back the title deed, "Daughter-in-law, this is the title deed, there are two acres of land there, one mu and 3 taels of silver, I went to apply for the title deed and had dinner and when I came back, I bought some meat and wine for the village chief, and there were only more than 2 taels left." ”
"Okay, just get the title deed. That's a lot of land! ”
"Hmm."
"Okay, let's not talk about this, I'll discuss with you how to do our business, the cold skin and braised meat I made, how about we sell these two?"
"Okay!" Yang Changfa nodded, he felt that the things made by his daughter-in-law were really delicious.
"When the time comes, let's go together, I sell cold skin and you sell braised pork, do you think it's okay?"
"Okay! Daughter-in-law, what do you think we are still short of? ”
Xiao Yue thought carefully for a long time, "If we want to sell something, we have to have a table to put it, and these people don't need tables and chairs to eat." ”
Yang Changfa thought of another point, "Yes! But it's just the two of us, and it's not convenient to carry these things every day! ”
Xiao Yue thought for a while and said, "Yes! So, aren't you going to the town tomorrow to deliver bean sprouts to the restaurant? You can ask the restaurant if we can put the table in their restaurant, even if we can pay some money. Yang Changfa nodded to indicate that he understood.
"Changfa, let's make cold skin and braised pork, I want to give the business of bean sprouts to my mother's family, can I?" Xiao Yue looked at Yang Changfa and said tentatively.
Yang Changfa nodded, "Yes!" It's not something you came up with. ”
Xiao Yue said: "I came up with it, but the two of us are husband and wife!" If I don't tell you, I'll give it to my mother's family, it's very disrespectful to you, and I'm afraid that you have ideas in your heart, so just be open and honest, so it's good for all of us, isn't it? ”
Yang Changfa looked at his daughter-in-law's little face and blushed, and couldn't help but kiss it, "Daughter-in-law, I know." When I was injured, my father and mother helped us a lot, and my father has been cooking things for us without charging money, my father and mother are good to us, and we must be filial to them. The smile on Xiao Yue's face became even more obvious when she heard this.
The next day, Yang Changfa went to the town with bean sprouts, and Xiao Yue came to Xiao's house. Daddy Xiao and Xiao Chun were making furniture, "Dad, Chun'er." ”
Xiao Chun raised his head and smiled at Xiao Yue, "Big sister." ”
Xiao Yue touched his head, "Dad, what about my mother?" ”
Daddy Xiao raised his head, "Let's go to the vegetable field!" Your mother said she was going to water the vegetable patch. What's the matter with you? ”
Xiao Yue shook her head, "It's okay, Dad, I figured out a kind of bean sprouts by myself and sent it to the restaurant in the town every day." Recently, Changfa and I decided to do something else, so I wanted my mother to make bean sprouts. ”
"How can this work, this is your business, how can it be given to us."
"Dad, what are you talking about, I'm not your daughter, what are you us."
"You girl, ghost elf." The people in the courtyard laughed.
