Chapter 42: Newly Discovered Condiments
Next.
Yun Xiaoshuang, Zhao Hong and Second Uncle Zhao went to the town to buy ten pairs of sewers, ten pig trotters, two pig heads, fifteen pig ears, and a few pig barrel bones.
This posture that swept away the pork stall scared the store to urgently transfer goods.
After all, he is not the only one who sells pork in the town, and it is not the New Year's holiday, so they kill a pig on weekdays and sell it.
Before going back, Yun Xiaoshuang went to the pharmacy to buy some Chinese medicinal materials, and a lot of fine noodles, as well as salt, sugar, sauce and vinegar and other condiments.
On the way back, Yun Xiaoshuang looked at the chicken seller, and specially bought a chicken, and the three of them returned to Zhao's house with the booty.
After going back, Yun Xiaoshuang entered the kitchen with great interest, and Zhao Mocheng wrinkled his eyebrows after seeing so much water: "What are you doing with so many of these?" Can you finish eating? ”
Let's not talk about eating, just smelling this stench will make people retreat.
"Brother, it's delicious when this is done! I don't need you to do it, I don't even dislike the smell! Zhao Hong pouted.
Although if it weren't for the fact that these would soon turn to silver, she would have vomited a long time ago.
Zhao Mocheng twisted his eyebrows and took a few steps back: "Okay, you deal with it slowly, I'll go back to the room to rest." ”
"Go ahead, I'll take care of this." Second Aunt Zhao hurriedly said, and pushed his wheelchair by the way.
Zhao Hong pursed her lips and went to the kitchen to help Yun Xiaoshuang make a fire, and Yun Xiaoshuang said to Aunt Zhao: "Second aunt, rub the white noodles repeatedly, scrub them three or five times, there is no taste, don't feel sorry for these white noodles." ”
"Okay, the second aunt knows, you go and get busy with you." Second Aunt Zhao smiled and nodded.
Yun Xiaoshuang saw that Aunt Zhao knew how to deal with it, so she went directly into the kitchen, she first cleaned the pig bones, then blanched the water, fished out the pig bones, poured out the water, added new water, put the pig bones in the pot under cold water and boiled them together, and after boiling, let Zhao Hong make a low fire and stew slowly.
In this gap, Yun Xiaoshuang cleaned the pig's trotters, blanched them first, and then began to prepare the marinated ingredients, until the bone broth had been stewed for an hour, and Aunt Zhao also took care of the water.
Yun Xiaoshuang poured two large bowls of bone broth, poured several bowls of water, and put star anise, cumin, tangerine peel and other medicinal materials into the pot until the fire boiled, Yun Xiaoshuang asked Zhao Hong to use low heat again.
And the bone broth was picked up by her, first served a bowl to Zhao Mocheng, and then began to cook rice, the brine needs to be boiled for an hour to be good, she has prepared all the ingredients, and then began to make lunch.
For this lunch, she fried three dishes, one fried lung slices with chili peppers, one braised pig's trotters, and another fried mushrooms, and this was their lunch.
The Zhao family, who were tired all morning, sat in the living room to eat, feeling very happy.
After resting for a while after lunch, the braised soup was almost stewed, Yun Xiaoshuang put the blanched pig's trotters, pig's head and other ones that are not easy to taste in first, and after drinking the bone broth at noon, she brushed the pot clean, took out the brine water a little, and put the water in it and simmered it over low heat.
After the pig's head and pig's trotters had been simmered for an hour, she put in the pig's ears, when the smell of meat wafted from the kitchen.
Zhao Hong, who had just eaten lunch, swallowed his saliva fiercely: "Sister-in-law, it's so fragrant, it must be delicious!" ”
"You little gluttonous cat, I'll let you taste the first bite when it's ready." Yun Xiaoshuang pinched her nose and smiled.
Because the simmering over low heat made the meat more flavorful, Yun Xiaoshuang began to deal with the chicken she bought, and the second aunt Zhao came to help when she saw it, and said, "Why don't you tell the second aunt if you want to eat chicken?" There's also dried pheasant at home. ”
"Second aunt, this is not for eating, you will know when I finish it!" Yun Xiaoshuang said with a smile.
Second Aunt Zhao didn't understand, but she didn't continue to ask, she knew that Yun Xiaoshuang was an assertive child, and all she made was good things.
After plucking out the chicken feathers, Yun Xiaoshuang soaked the whole chicken with water, soaked for about half an hour, then added water to a small pot, chicken under cold water, and after boiling, the floating foam was removed, and boiled over high heat for less than two quarters of an hour, Yun Xiaoshuang peeled off the skin of the two chickens while it was hot, dismantled the bones, tore apart, put the chicken into the pot and boiled for a quarter of an hour, during which a little salt was put to taste, and the chicken was scooped up after a quarter of an hour.
She put the chicken broth in a large bowl, washed the pot, boiled the water in the pot over low heat, put the torn chicken into the pot, and stir-fried it from time to time until the water in the chicken was completely evaporated, and then she put the chicken on the plate.
She mashes the chicken into a powder with a stone mortar and puts it in a bottle.
Zhao Hong, who was making the fire, didn't know what to do, and asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?" We haven't even eaten this good chicken. ”
It's all pounded into powder, how can you eat this?
"This, it's chicken powder, with this thing, the dishes you cook in the future will be much more delicious!" Yun Xiaoshuang said with a smile.
She also misses modern chicken essence too much, so she just tries to make a chicken powder to improve the freshness?
"Really?" Zhao Hong didn't believe it, and Yun Xiaoshuang didn't explain too much, just thinking that she would let her try it at night, and she would know.
Sure enough, Yun Xiaoshuang added chicken powder to the cooking that night, which surprised the Zhao family, and Zhao Hong was even happier, which showed that the family had another entry!
Yun Xiaoshuang saw that they were eating happily, and she was also very happy.
The next morning.
Zhao Hong ate the lo-mei as she wished, and the melt-in-the-mouth water made her want to swallow her tongue!
"It's delicious, sister-in-law, we'll go to the Drunken Immortal Building in a while, is the shopkeeper good?" Zhao Hong's face was full of excitement, "And that chicken powder!" ”
Second Aunt Zhao and the others also thought it was very delicious, after all, Yun Xiaoshuang's craftsmanship was really not said.
"Okay, let's take some to town in a moment." Yun Xiaoshuang nodded in agreement, thinking about whether she could build a new house before the winter?
After all, this earthen house is not very warm, the roof is still thatched, and it is easy to catch fire when it is dry in winter, but this is just an idea of hers, so she didn't put it forward.
When they came to the town, they didn't need Yun Xiaoshuang to introduce them, Murong Ye directly asked her to cut and put them on a plate for him to taste, and after eating them, they suddenly felt that the other lo-mei was really bad.
"Jin Cheng, settle the account for Xiaoshuang, I'm still worried that this will be winter soon, and there are no good things." Murong Ye was eating and drinking wine.
I have to say that Murong Ye, who has not been exposed to the sun all year round, is very white, and his temperament is not comparable to ordinary people.
"Don't worry, I won't let you down, there's a condiment here, you let the chef try it, a dish only needs a small spoonful." Yun Xiaoshuang said with a smile.
Murong Ye looked at the bottle in her hand, a flash of surprise flashed on her face, but she still asked the chef to try it.
A quarter of an hour later, the chef who had fried a plate of green vegetables walked out and looked at Murong Ye with surprise on his face: "Shopkeeper, you can taste it!" ”
Murong Ye was stunned for a moment, glanced at Yun Xiaoshuang suspiciously, and saw that she had a smile on her face, so he tried it.
But I didn't expect that a simple plate of vegetarian stir-fried vegetables could actually taste the taste of chicken! even made the original taste of the green vegetables fresh, making him feel that this is not a simple green vegetable at all!
"How did you do that?" Murong Ye looked at Yun Xiaoshuang with a look of surprise.
Yun Xiaoshuang shrugged: "It's made of chicken, an exclusive secret recipe, not for sale, but well, I can still provide it for a long time if you need it." ”
Murong Ye pointed at Yun Xiaoshuang a little angrily, his Drunken Immortal Mansion has been tepid for so long, she didn't take it out a long time ago, and only took it at this time, isn't this angry?
"No, a bottle can be used for half a month, a bottle is five taels of silver, an average spoonful is only a few pennies, and I only have five bottles in my hand for the time being." Yun Xiaoshuang took out the remaining four bottles from the back basket.
Murong Ye's eyes lit up, so that other Drunken Immortal Buildings could also be used!
He squinted at Yun Xiaoshuang: "I'll give you ten taels of silver for a bottle, I want these five bottles, and then give me twenty bottles!" ”
Zhao Hong listened to ten taels of one bottle, twenty-five bottles is two hundred and fifty taels of silver!
"Okay, but we have to deliver them separately, and you know that I have such a pair of hands, so I can't get sick, right?" Yun Xiaoshuang didn't refuse, she was making money left and right, and she didn't earn it for nothing.
Murong Ye nodded: "Okay, Jin Cheng, take the money, and then sign the note, the old rule." ”
"No problem!" Yun Xiaoshuang smiled and nodded.
After signing the note, Yun Xiaoshuang, who got the silver, smiled, Murong Ye couldn't understand her a little, obviously she had earned so much silver here, but every time she was as happy as if it was the first time she earned silver.
After coming out of the Drunken Immortal Tower, Yun Xiaoshuang glanced around: "Xiaohong, do you know if there is a place to make porcelain in this county?" ”
Zhao Hong scratched the top of his head, not knowing what Yun Xiaoshuang was going to do, but he still replied truthfully: "Yes, I'll take you there." ”
After Yun Xiaoshuang arrived, she asked for pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the spot, and it took a lot of effort for her brain cells to draw the flush toilet in her memory, and handed it forward: "Can you make this?" ”
The shopkeeper snorted disdainfully: "Naturally, there are not too many skilled craftsmen in our shop, although we haven't seen this, but as long as you draw the details above, we will definitely be able to make an exact one!" ”
Yun Xiaoshuang was overjoyed, and also drew those shower equipment at the moment.
After leaving, Yun Xiaoshuang always had a happy look on her face, and asked, "Xiaohong, do you know how many silver taels it will cost to build another house in the village?" ”
"Thirty or forty taels."
"What if they were all green bricks?"
"It will cost fifty taels of silver."
"How about we build one?" Yun Xiaoshuang said with a smile.
Originally, Zhao Hong was still in a daze, but after hearing what Yun Xiaoshuang said, his whole eyes widened in disbelief: "Sister-in-law, do you mean it really?" ”
"Nature is true."
"But don't we have a place to live?"
"Although we are backing the mountain here, we can't feel the typhoon, but this month, the rainfall increases, and soon the mountain is prone to mudslides and landslides.
Yun Xiaoshuang spoke, turned her head to see Zhao Hong's blank face, and waved her hand helplessly: "In short, you just need to remember that it is very dangerous." ”
There are also things like those that are easy to dry and catch fire in winter, but there is no need to tell her about these, just let Zhao Hong know that a new house is going to be built!
Zhao Hong nodded thoughtfully: "Then sister-in-law, it's okay for you to say anything." ”
Yun Xiaoshuang didn't say that she was like this because she wanted to renovate the bathroom and bathroom.
"Well, let's go back and discuss it with the second aunt, if we can, let's choose a date, if it can be built before winter, it would be great."
