As soon as Xia Youzhi arrived home with the ingredients, he saw Xia's mother preparing to go to the ground.

"Mom, where are you going to go down?" Xia Youzhi asked with a smile.

"Well, you're ......"

Xia Mu was a little puzzled when she saw Xia Youzhi carrying so much meat.

"I said before that I would make roasted brine and sell it in the town, but today I will make it for you to taste." Xia Youzhi said with a wink.

Xia Mu nodded.

The events of the past few days, because of the passbook, have forgotten all these things.

"Youzhi, it's summer, and if you buy so much meat, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep it." Xia Mu was a little worried.

Xia Youzhi smiled, "Mom, this braised meat won't be bad, the longer it lasts, the more flavorful it becomes." ”

Hearing this, Xia Mu didn't say anything more.

"Then mom won't go to the ground today, stay at home and help you."

"Mom, no. I can do it myself, and when the time comes, Qinglin can help me add fire and boil water. "The way of summer young.

"Linlin ran out to play after breakfast, I'm afraid I can't count on it." Xia Mu smiled.

Xia Qinglin was not at home again.

Since Xia Youzhi beat them up last time, Xia Qinglin has become much bolder and likes to go out.

And the children in the village were ordered by adults not to bully Xia Qinglin, just because of the four yuan.

Therefore, in the previous life, Xia Qinglin's amblyopia did not happen.

"I guess I'm going to play with Ergou." The way of summer young.

As soon as the words fell, Xia Qinglin and Ergou appeared.

"Sister, did you call me?" Xia Qinglin ran into the yard and followed by Ergou.

He really likes his sister so much.

Since my sister came back, the family can often eat meat, the people in the village dare not bully him, my brother's tuition has also been settled, and my mother is also happy.

"Today, we are going to do a big thing, and we need the cooperation of the two of you."

Xia Youzhi nodded on the foreheads of Xia Qinglin and Ergou.

"Young sister, what are we going to do?" Ergou asked curiously.

"You'll find out in a moment." Xia Youzhi said with a smile.

In the end, Xia Mu stayed at home.

She really didn't worry about what Xia Youzhi said.

So, in the curious eyes of the three of them, Xia Youzhi began to get busy.

There are two pots at home, except for the big pot for stir-frying, which is the slightly smaller pot that usually boils water for bathing.

Xia Youzhi decided to use it to boil marinade.

After filling the pot with water, he assigned a task to the two little heels.

Let them help add fire to the boiling water.

And Xia Mu automatically asked Ying to deal with the large intestine.

The large intestine smells, and she is reluctant to let her daughter work.

Xia Youzhi had no choice but to agree.

After arranging the task, Xia Youzhi found out the lo-mei ingredients he bought in the town a few days ago.

In the southern lo-mei, in addition to the main ingredients, the unique earth fish should be added.

But she went to the shops in the town and couldn't buy them, so she had to go to the city to have a look.

The water was boiling, Xia Youzhi shaved the bones of the pork knuckle, blanched them together with the beef bones, and stewed them together.

After telling Xia Qinglin the precautions for the heat, he was busy preparing the ingredients again.

This is more troublesome to make lo-mei.

The pork and beef bones should be simmered on low heat for half an hour, then 18 spices should be added, and then simmered on high heat for three hours.

Wait until the bottom of the pot is simmered, then add the seasoning and pig's trotters, and simmer for another hour.

Once the stew is done, cover and let it simmer for an hour before it's done.

When Xia Youzhi went south and saw the chef doing it, he admired it very much.

Even the seasoning, the proportion of how much to put is fixed.

If you put more or less of it, the taste will be different.

Xia Youzhi has been working as a maid by the chef's side for many years, and he can know the amount of grams of seasoning when he weighs it in his hand.

Therefore, she is very confident in the braised pork she makes.

It's just that the lack of earth fish is estimated to affect the taste.

As soon as he finished preparing the ingredients, he heard Xia Qinglin's excited voice coming from behind him, "Sister, there is a fragrance." ”

Xia Youzhi turned around with a smile, "Sister smelled it, keep it like this, and simmer for another ten minutes to increase the heat." ”

Hearing this, Xia Qinglin asked Ergouzi to watch the fire, and he ran to the living room to look at the wall clock.

Xia Youzhi smiled and looked at Xia Qinglin who was running around.

It's really childlike nature.

After mixing the ingredients, Xia Youzhi also has to adjust the marinade.

This pot bottom is really expensive.

But as long as the bottom of the pot is adjusted, you can use it all the time, and you only need to adjust the flavor occasionally, and the back is basically the meat money.

"Well, the large intestine is cleaned." Xia Mu came in with a washed fat intestine.

Xia Youzhi looked at the fat intestine and frowned slightly.

"Mom, the fat in this fat intestine is going to be removed."

She had told her mom about it at the beginning.

"It's a shame to throw it away." Xia Mu was a little reluctant.

Rural areas are reluctant to eat meat, and the fat in the pig's large intestine is even more reluctant to throw away.

"Mom, we have to scrape the layer of grease in the intestines, otherwise it will be fishy, and we will sell it." If it doesn't do well and no one buys it, won't it be even more of a loss? Xia Youzhi said patiently.

Xia Mu nodded, "Then mom go and shave it clean." ”

Although Xia Mu was reluctant, she finally did as she was told.

When Xia Mu brought it in again, the fat intestines were already clean.

It's just that on the table at noon, the cucumber fried in fat intestine oil, Xia Youzhi really didn't have the appetite to touch it.

It seems that she still has to hurry up to earn money.

Alas.

After lunch, Xia Qinglin and Ergou ran out to play again.

The two of them are left at home, Xia Mu and Xia Youzhi.

"This pork knuckle and fat intestine are ready, let your grandma come and taste it when the time comes." Xia Mu glanced at Xia Youzhi and said cautiously.

Xia Youzhi was slightly stunned.

Seeing that Xia Youzhi didn't squeak, Xia Mu continued, "After all, it's your grandmother, so you should do your filial piety for your father." ”

She can't do anything if her daughter does, after all, for so many years, her daughter has grown up in the Song family.

She can understand that her daughter does not have deep feelings for her grandmother, but after all, she is her husband's parents, and she doesn't want to embarrass her husband.

Xia Youzhi nodded.

She doesn't have much affection for her grandmother, and she can't talk about resentment.

Besides, she is not stingy, even if the old man next to her is not heinous, she will not be stingy with this bit of meat.

"Mom, you just have to make up your mind, I won't be angry." The way of summer young.

Xia Mu hurriedly responded.

"There's one more thing, young one." Xia Mu was a little embarrassed, "I said before that there is a scholarship in the city, when will it be settled?" ”

Seeing that July is about to bottom, coupled with the passbook, Xia's mother is a little worried that the scholarship will not come.

"Mom, don't worry, I'll call the town to ask Teacher Yan about his progress." Xia Youzhi comforted.

She knew that there was no need to worry about the scholarship.

The city will definitely give it, and Teacher Yan and they will definitely be more attentive than their own family.

After all, this Beijing college student is the first one in this county.

In previous years, there were only one or two in the city.

Even the city leaders will personally intervene.

When Xia Mu heard this, her heart was a little settled.

She has a low level of education and has never seen much of the world, so she is afraid that she will call the teacher and say something wrong and make people laugh.

"Well, you can go tomorrow." Xia Mu looked at Xia Youyi embarrassedly.

She couldn't wait.

"Okay, I'll go tomorrow." Xia Youzhi couldn't laugh or cry.

By the way, I will send some braised meat to my sister-in-law.

Xia Mu was relieved.

The mother and daughter were busy talking and laughing, and time passed quickly.

By the time the braised pork was ready, the sun was already setting in the west.

"This is also ...... It's so fragrant, right? Xia Mu swallowed.

Xia Youzhi couldn't help but laugh.

Xia's mother's reaction reminded her of the first time she saw braised pork in her previous life.

Gluttony to drooling.

Outside the courtyard of the Xia family, the villagers who passed by the Xia family after returning from work were surprised.

"It's too fragrant, isn't it?"

"yes, the summer guys have been eating too well lately, right?"

"It is said that the girl of the Xia family took the money to subsidize herself, saying that she felt sorry for her mother."

"It's too much to take money seriously, isn't it true that Qingbo's tuition hasn't been settled yet?"

Villagers, you have a mouthful, I have a mouthful.

Zhang Cuihua, who was in the crowd, was extremely unbalanced.

"Hmph, the young lady from the city just doesn't know how to be thrifty, looking at the reluctant appearance when she came back, it is estimated that the family in the city took the money to send her.

can't live a poor life, so she buys meat to eat every day, and she is reluctant to keep it for her brother to study, and the Xia family will finish the eldest lady sooner or later. ”

Zhang Chunhua sneered.

Several people nodded, and they all felt that Zhang Chunhua was right.

A few of them usually don't say anything, but they are really jealous of the Xia family in their hearts.

Xia Laosan's eldest son was admitted to university, and the girl in the Xia family is beautiful, and I heard that her grades are also very good.

Now they still eat meat from time to time, although they don't eat meat every day as Zhang Chunhua said, but during this time, they eat it once every three or five days, which also makes them envious.

What the crowd said, the mother and daughter in the courtyard had no idea.

Xia Youzhi scooped up the fat intestines, cut a small piece, and gave it to Xia's mother to taste.

Xia Mu chewed in her mouth, and she was reluctant to swallow it.

It's so delicious.

"Mom, do you think this thing can be sold?" Xia Youzhi asked.

Mother Xia chewed on the fat intestines, and her speech was a little slurred, "Yes, this thing is much more fragrant than what your old Uncle Zhang made." ”

Xia Youzhi smiled.

Uncle Zhang is a chef in a well-known village nearby.

In nearby villages and towns, he has to be asked to take charge of any red and white things.

Xia's mother's words made Xia Youzhi think of a new idea.

Her cooking skills are average, but her marinated things, fresh gadgets are delicious.

If Uncle Zhang goes to the kitchen at that time, he uses his own roasted marinade, won't this give him popularity?

Xia Youzhi thought secretly in his heart.

She had just tasted a piece of it, and it did taste good.

But she felt that she was still a little bit missing, and she thought that she still had to find the fish of the earth.

Let's wait until the taste is more perfect.

Now she also wants to go to the town first to see what everyone can accept, and she has to think carefully about how to set the price.

"Mom, I'll go to town tomorrow and give some to my sister-in-law, and then I'll ask Gu Tingshen to help bring some to my father and eldest brother."

"Zhizhi, don't call you Uncle Gu like that next time, it's not good for people to hear it." Xia Mu said.

There are many rights and wrongs in the countryside, so she is worried that others will say that Xia Youzhi is impolite.

Xia Youzhi nodded.

scooped up the pork knuckle, cut a slice and stuffed it into Xia Mu's mouth.

She just forgot about it.

"What's this pork knuckle? Mom," Xia Youzhi asked with a smile.

Judging by her mother's surprised expression, she already knew the answer.

The taste of pork knuckle and fat intestine is different, fat intestine is a little chewy, but this pork knuckle is soft, fat but not greasy.

It's so good.

Xia Youzhi cut the pork knuckle and fat intestine into three parts, one for her sister-in-law, one for her father, and one for the family.

Selfishly, give her dad more of that.

Her father and her brother are both men and eat a lot, and according to what we know about them, they will definitely not eat alone, and they will share it with others when the time comes.

At dinner, Xia's mother went to invite the Xia family's grandmother.

The grandmother of the Xia family was a little restrained when they saw Xia Youzhi, and they were indeed a little worried about this beautiful but cold granddaughter.

Fortunately, Xia Qinglin was lively and active, and the dinner atmosphere was harmonious.
