Chapter 66: Braised Pork
Jing Yi inquired about the Spring Festival here called New Year's Day, just like the Spring Festival in her previous life, it is a very important festival. On this day, you can perform sacrifices, worship ancestors, and pass on the throne. It is also a day of family reunion. Jingyi estimates that this is the ancient Spring Festival.
The next day, Jing Yi began to prepare for the Boxing Festival. She doesn't have any good things, the only thing she can do is that she can make something fresh compared to this era. This time she will do something new, and it will be possible to use it as a festival when the time comes.
They all know what their family is like anyway.
Jingyi is a doctor, and it is still okay to dispense some medicines. She was going to configure a few bottles of pills, the pills that solidified Peiyuan, and the detoxification pill.
These two pills should be very much needed for Xiao Yilin.
Jing Yi counted the time, then brought enough money, and drove the carriage to the county seat with Song Yuancheng to buy things.
Jing Yi first bought all kinds of beans, as well as glutinous rice, glutinous rice flour, millet, rhubarb rice and other grains. She was going back to make some pastries.
Jing Yi bought some brown sugar, and now in this era, people just squeeze the juice out of the sugarcane and boil it to make brown sugar, and there is still no white sugar.
In this era, there was also caramel, which is a type of sugar made by saccharifying and boiling rice and malt, which is viscous and commonly known as maltose. Caramel is a starch sugar that can also be used as a sweetener. Jing Yi looked at it and bought some too.
Jingyi saw that there were honey sellers, and the price was very expensive. However, I need to use it to make pastries, and Jingyi also bought some. In the future, she raised her own bees and produced honey at home, so she didn't have to worry about eating honey.
After buying the ingredients for making pastries, Jing Yi went to the butcher shop.
Jing Yi first bought a lot of pork and pork ribs. She saw a lot of pigs in the basket next to her. The taste is a little unpleasant.
Jing Yi knew that the pig would smell fishy if it was not treated well, and no one wanted to buy it at all. But she would. Pork liver, pork lungs, and pig intestine are all good things, and they are also very delicious when handled.
Jingyi is also going to make some sausages with pig intestines.
Jing Yi pointed to a basket of pigs in the water and said, "Shopkeeper, how do you sell these pigs in the water?" You see, I bought so much pork and pork ribs from you, and you can sell these pigs to me cheaply, and no one buys them anyway. And I also bought your pig's trotters, and I will buy another pig's head. ”
The shopkeeper of the butcher shop was not stingy when he met the big customer, "Then you will take all the twenty pennies from these pigs." ”
Jing Yi moved three baskets of things from the butcher shop, and she really bought a lot.
Jingyi went to buy some spices again, and saw that there was a mutton seller and bought some mutton.
Song Yuancheng kept looking at his own carriage, and saw that his son-in-law almost filled the carriage, and his heart was straight. As soon as he saw the way his son-in-law spent money, he knew that his previous background was anything but ordinary.
The two men drove home in a carriage before lunch.
The handling of pigs in the water Qiao Hong and his sisters will definitely not let their son-in-law do it himself. Jing Yi taught them how to deal with it. The main thing is to clean the large intestine of the pig, which must be cleaned.
Qiao Hong was very distressed when he learned that white flour and salt were needed to deal with the pig's large intestine, and he felt that the pig's large intestine had become a lot more expensive when washed out.
Pig's head and trotters must also be cleaned, especially the remaining pig hair.
Song Yuancheng has never done these jobs, but he has also learned to deal with pigs' heads and trotters, at least this is much easier than cleaning the pig's large intestine.
In the afternoon, when Jingyi checked Xiao Yilin's pulse, she obviously felt that Xiao Yilin was very happy, and she glanced at Xiao Yilin after diagnosing her pulse.
The corners of Xiao Yilin's mouth curled, "Jingyan, am I all right?" ”
Jing Yi nodded, "It's really good, it seems that my body hasn't been in vain during this time." You must have felt it yourself, and the strength of your body is slowly recovering. Starting tomorrow you can do some less strenuous exercise to help your body recover. ”
Gu Yu and Feng Zhi looked at each other when they heard this, and they both laughed happily.
Feng Zhi said with a smile: "Then my prince can slowly practice martial arts in the future." Young Master Chu, you are really a miracle doctor, it has only been a few months for my son-in-law to get better. ”
Jing Yi smiled: "This is mainly because of Brother Xiao's good physical foundation. To celebrate, today I will make braised pork for you to eat. Brother Xiao's diet can also be liberalized, and it is no problem to eat more meat. ”
Qiao Hong and they dealt with the pig's water, pig's head and pig's trotters, Jingyi left the pig's large intestine, and put the rest into the pot to cook.
Jing Yi asked Qiao Hong to chop the meat filling, then add various spices and stir to start filling the sausage.
Feng Zhi and Gu Yu both came to see freshness, it was the first time they had seen this kind of eating. It's really complicated to make a meal, and it's no wonder that the things made by Chu Gongzi are delicious.
Jing Yi bought a lot of pig intestines, filled a lot of sausages, and then hung them under the beam of a storage room in the wing room to dry.
The braised pork is boiling in the pot, and the fragrance fills the courtyard. This fragrance is so domineering that everyone is looking forward to this braised pork. Jingyi also put eggs, dried tofu,
In the wing, Feng Zhi looked in the direction of the kitchen from time to time, and only swallowed his saliva greedily, "Young Master Chu said that what is being made in the pot is braised pork. It's the first time I've heard of it, and it's a sight to behold. ”
Under everyone's ardent anticipation, the braised pork was finally out of the pot, and Jing Yi asked Qiao Yan to cut the pork liver, pig ears, and pig head meat, and use garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, etc. to make a dipping sauce for Xiao Yilin and them. There are also braised eggs and braised tofu, which taste just as good.
For dinner, Jingyi also asked Qiao Yan to make a few vegetarian dishes. The staple food is steamed steamed buns, and there is also a spinach egg soup.
Feng Zhi took a big bite of the pig's head meat and said happily: "This braised pork is really enjoyable to eat, it is so delicious." I think that no matter how ordinary things are, they can be turned into delicious dishes through the hands of Young Master Chu. Look at this pork liver, who of us used to eat it, after Chu Gongzi made it like this, the taste was really not good. ”
Gu Yu pinched a few pieces of pork liver with chopsticks for his prince, "Prince, Master Chu said that pork liver is very nourishing, you eat more." And this braised egg is also delicious. Chu Gongzi said that when we leave, give us these cooking recipes, so that the cooks in our house can learn to cook them, so that you can eat delicious meals. ”
When Xiao Yilin heard this, he knew that the young man cared about him, so he was happy in his heart, and said: "The recipe given by Gongzi Chu must be kept secret, and outsiders must not be allowed to learn it." ”
Gu Yu nodded and said, "I understand, Chu Gongzi's recipes are worth a lot of money, and they can make a lot of money in the restaurant casually." Lord Wang, do you see if you are discussing with Gongzi Chu about opening a restaurant? It is a pity that Chu Gongzi has these recipes and does not open a restaurant. ”
Xiao Yilin thought for a while and said, "I'll discuss this matter with Jingyan tomorrow." ”
Xiao Yilin also felt very delicious eating braised pork. Things like pig water, pig heads, and pig trotters are generally not eaten by rich people or dignitaries, because it is really difficult to eat. Only the poor people who don't have much money will choose these things to eat.
Unexpectedly, these things turned into delicious after passing through the hands of the young man, and the young man did have a pair of hands that turned stones into gold. He doesn't miss a lot of delicious food these days. His mouth has been raised by the teenager, and he is really afraid that he will not be able to eat the boy's craftsmanship when he goes back.
