Chapter 45 Braised pork, grilled bamboo rice, absolute seed
"Sister-in-law Zhang, I bought two pieces of cloth in the city yesterday, but I don't know how to make clothes for the children, Sister-in-law Zhang has the kung fu to help make a few sets of clothes, I won't let Sister-in-law Zhang do it for nothing, a set of clothes for five cents"
"Big sister, this is your fault, there is a lot of spare time, I will also make this clothes, that is, I can't ask for your money, you cured my man, don't say, I don't send food to my house on weekdays, a few sets of clothes are not a big deal"
Sister-in-law Zhang didn't want her money, but she was very happy that she finally had a place to use.
The three children were playing in the yard, and the two children ate the snacks that their mother bought with the fat tiger, and the fat tiger ate so that his eyes narrowed into a slit.
Don't forget to say a word of envy.
"Your mother is so good to you, I can only eat two mouthfuls of this snack during the New Year's holidays."
The people in the village are usually good people who can eat well, where is there spare money to buy snacks for their children.
"Of course, my mother is the best mother in the world, no one can compare"
Yuanbao's face was proud, and his face was full of sincerity when he said this.
Even Tuan Bao surprisingly didn't refute his sister's words.
Chu Qingchen was dragged in by Sister-in-law Zhang, and happened to hear this and showed a relieved smile.
"Sister-in-law Zhang, you go to the back kitchen to make a fire first, I'll go to the well to get a piece of meat, and make pork belly to eat at noon."
"Alas"
Sister-in-law Zhang happily went to the kitchen to make a fire.
Chu Qingchen didn't actually go to the well, she just didn't want others to find out that she had space, so she found a hidden place, moved her mind, and came out of the refrigerator in her villa A piece of pork belly.
Chu Qingchen looked at this fat and thin pork belly and was very satisfied, it was the most suitable for braised pork.
She put a large piece of meat in the refrigerator and froze it, and the meat in front of her was ready to be eaten in the next two days, and it was put in the refrigerator to keep it fresh.
Chu Qingchen took the meat into the back kitchen, and Sister-in-law Zhang had already lit the fire. It was amazing to see her take such a large piece of meat.
"Such a large piece of meat is the amount of several days."
"It's all this meal, make more so that the children can eat enough"
Chu Qingchen is not a stingy person.
She began to wash the meat, and it took a long time for Sister-in-law Zhang to react and began to help.
Although Sister-in-law Zhang's cooking is not very good, her knife skills are first-class, and according to Chu Qingchen's requirements, each piece of pork belly is cut thin and even.
Blanch the pork belly first.
Chu Qingchen poured some rapeseed oil into the hot pot, and after the oil was hot, put the pork belly in and fry it until both sides were golden brown.
Some of the oil is put out and put in a bowl, and it can be used next time cooking.
Put rock sugar in the pot and fry the sugar color over low heat, and add green onions, ginger, garlic, star anise, soy sauce, five-spice powder and other seasonings to squeeze until fragrant.
Pour in the pork belly and stir-fry evenly, wrap it with sugar, add boiling water to cover the meat, cover the pot and stew.
As soon as Chu Qingchen turned around, he watched his sister-in-law's eyes not explode and watch her cook, it was the first time he saw someone cooking so many steps, fried and stewed.
There were three little heads next to the door to look around, and the fat tiger sniffed the smell vigorously, and the hara was flowing to the surface of his feet.
No need to think, no need to ask, the three children came running over with the smell of meat again.
The braised pork had to be stewed for a quarter of an hour, and Chu Qingchen held the basin, and there were dozens of bamboo tubes of rice in the basin.
"Sister-in-law Zhang, let's take the child to the courtyard, raise the fire, and roast this bamboo tube rice to eat."
"Grilled and eaten? I've only heard of roast chicken and roast duck, and it's the first time I've heard that rice can be eaten on the roast, so can it be delicious? ”
Sister-in-law Zhang's face was surprised, even the three children were curious, and they didn't make trouble, so they obediently gathered around Chu Qingchen, waiting to see how she was roasted.
"You'll find out if it's good or not."
Chu Qingchen said and beckoned a few children to come over with a handful of sun-dried firewood.
Sister-in-law Zhang found a firewood, lit it with flint, and soon a pile of firewood was raised.
Chu Qingchen took a clean iron hook and put it into the bamboo tube rice to hook it, took it some distance, and put it on the fire to roast.
The bamboo made a crackling sound, and after a few rounds, the fragrance of the bamboo mixed with the aroma of meat poured out.
"It's fragrant, it's really fragrant"
Sister-in-law Zhang was amazed, smelling the fragrance of the yard and glad that she had stayed.
"Is my mother ripe? I want to eat."
"Cooked"
Chu Qingchen turned over a few rounds and baked it, the bamboo tube rice was originally cooked, and it could be eaten after a few bakes, so he handed over the baked bamboo tube rice casually.
"Aunt Chu, I want it too"
The fat tiger smelled this smell and was already hungry, and a mouth came out again.
Chu Qingchen handed the freshly baked bamboo rice to Fat Tiger, who shook his head happily, and didn't care about the hot hands, so he directly opened the bamboo cover on the bamboo rice and started eating.
The bamboo rice is even more flavorful, flexible and fragrant.
Sister-in-law Zhang watched the meeting for a while, and also helped to roast.
"Sister-in-law Zhang's bamboo tube is burnt, and it can be eaten if it is slightly blackened"
Chu Qingchen passed on the know-how.
Handing the baked bamboo rice to Tuanbao, the child was not good at expressing himself, so he stood aside and watched her bake.
"Thank you"
Tuan Bao saw his sister and Fat Tiger eating on the side, he was already hungry, but he didn't know how to speak for the sake of face. Another point is that I don't know what to call my stepmother, and I can't pull my face when I call my mother.
"What is this kid polite to his mother?"
After a while, with the help of Sister-in-law Zhang, the two of them baked the remaining bamboo rice.
Chu Qingchen counted the time, the braised pork in the pot should also be ready, and the juice should be reduced on high heat.
Chu Qingchen found a slightly larger basin and put it out, the braised pork was ruddy in color and looked very good.
"Big sister, this meat has an appetite when she looks at it"
Sister-in-law Zhang took the braised pork in Chu Qingchen's hand and praised it, smelling the smell of meat, she was not hungry just now, and her stomach was already growling.
Chu Qingchen picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and the few little guys sat around the table without shouting.
The table is not very big, and it is a little crowded with two people, but it is extremely warm. The children ate the meat in their mouths, and their mouths were full of oil.
"Aunt Chu's meat is so delicious, my mother has never made such delicious meat for me to eat, can I come to eat often?"
"Of course, in the future, when I make something delicious, I will let Tuan Bao call you to come over and eat"
"Then what's the matter, Fat Tiger Niang has just been watching your Aunt Chu's practices on the side, and she has also learned some tips for cooking, although she can't make your Aunt Chu's color, flavor, and taste, but it is much stronger than before, go back to your mother to make it for you."
Sister-in-law Zhang said to her son, took a piece of meat and put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly.
The braised pork is fat but not greasy, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, melts in the mouth, and has a hint of sweetness of rock sugar.
This taste is intoxicating, and Sister-in-law Zhang chewed it in her mouth for a long time before she was willing to swallow it.
Braised pork is paired with grilled bamboo rice, a bite of rice, a bite of meat is a perfect match.
Eat so red that even if you eat it, you can't stand it.
In addition to Chu Qingchen's three children, even Sister-in-law Zhang only had a full burp, if it weren't for the fact that there was really no place to pretend, she still wanted to eat a few bites of meat.
