Chapter 86: A Lot of Beef
Zhao Changshan looked at the bull that had only one breath left and was hoisted up and dragged directly into the carriage, and then a staff member who was wrapped up in his whole body closed the carriage door and made a snap.
"Jian Heng, how long do you think it takes them to slaughter a cow?" Zhao Changshan had never seen such a way of slaughtering cattle before, he was very curious, if it wasn't for the fact that people really didn't let him in, he would have wanted to go in and have a look.
"It's going to take almost half an hour," Jian Heng said after thinking for a while.
This car directly to the slaughtering service charge is not cheap, of course, if the production line on the slaughterhouse is cheap, but if you send it to the slaughterhouse to buy, who knows whether it is your own cattle to buy in the end, the door-to-door service may be more expensive, but there is always a reason for expensive.
Hearing Jian Heng's words, Mai swept Jian Heng with the corner of his eye very contemptuously: "If you don't know, don't speak!" ”
"You know, then you say," Jian Heng said with a smile.
"Twelve minutes at most" Wheat finished speaking and looked at the watch in his hand: "If you don't believe it, look at the watch, let's make another bet, if you lose, there will be a Taylor Swift concert next month, and the loser will buy a ticket."
"Believe, what's not to believe, I don't watch any concerts besides, and I'm not a fan of Swift" Jian Heng was not interested in arguing with her about this, let alone betting with her.
Besides, a little earlier and a little later, don't you all have to stand here and wait? Of course, it is better to slaughter it early, after driving the herd for several hours, the people who beat the iron are also tired, and now Jian Heng wants to sleep a little.
After waiting outside for less than ten minutes, the door opened, a whole cow entered, and two headless slices of meat slowly pushed out along the track in the car.
I have to say that the two pieces of meat are very clean, and the entire surface is smooth and there is almost no attached cow hair.
This speed couldn't help but make Zhao Changshan sigh and say: "My God, it's really fast, it's just like that."
"The beef intestines you want, and some offal!" The staff wrapped in a whole body carried an iron basin made of impermeable steel to the edge of the carriage.
As soon as Zhao Changshan heard that the cow's internal organs were coming, he immediately waved his hand: "Xiao Wei!" ”
Zhao Wei immediately walked over with a red plastic power, directly brought the basin off the carriage, poured the internal organs into the bucket, and returned the iron basin after it was finished.
Unloaded two beef fans, and then watched as the hook hooked another cow into the ground, and so on two times, just now it was three bulls, and in less than an hour it had become six slices of beef.
After the delivery, Jian Heng handed over a check, and the slaughterhouse slowly drove away from the pasture.
"It's a pity that the bull's head didn't stay!" Looking at the slaughtering truck slowly leaving, Zhao Changshan said a little dissatisfied.
Jian Heng said: "Forget it, I'm still worried about so much meat!" ”
"yes, it's going to be eaten for a long time!" Zhang Jialiang was now sitting on the fence of the porch, looking at the six beef fans on the horse shelf in front of the house, and said with a sad face.
Don't talk about him, Damai Wheat is also entangled now, let's put it this way, among a group of people, the only one who is smiling now is Huang Xiaodong, this kid doesn't seem to be tired of eating beef.
Zhao Changshan said: "What's the problem, let's make beef jerky!" ”
"You can also make beef jerky?"
Jian Hengxin said: You are a cook with no rank at all, and you can also make beef jerky?
Not only Jian Heng, but even his nephew Zhao Wei didn't believe it, and was stunned for a while and asked: "Uncle, is the beef jerky you said the kind of spiced, the dried ones can be put on for a long time, and they can be eaten..."
Syllable!
Before Zhao Wei's words were finished, he was directly slapped on the back of the head by Zhao Changshan: "Is there anything else in beef jerky?" Of course, it's that kind of beef jerky, but I don't make spiced ones, I make spicy ones! ”
"I think it's better to use the beef from the refrigerator first, and leave this beef here to cool overnight," Jian Heng thought for a while and said.
The newly slaughtered beef is not delicious, because the whole body is stiff when the cow dies, and the lactic acid in the muscles accumulates, so the beef at this time is not delicious, and it is necessary to put it for a day and wait for the lactic acid to dissipate, and then eat it, which is both delicious and tender.
Zhao Changshan didn't care whether he used the beef in the refrigerator or the slaughtered beef, and immediately nodded when he heard Jian Heng say this, and then he supported his subordinates to prepare to start work immediately.
So the hard-working Huang Xiaodong and Zhao Wei were transferred by the envoys and began to make preparations non-stop.
"Xiao Dong, you go to chop wood, Zhao Wei, you go and roll the big oil drum behind the house, and then go to the house to get out the pot I bought, and buy such a big pot This time it finally comes in handy...."Zhao Changshan rolled up his sleeves with interest as he said, like a general who was about to go to the battlefield.
Damai and Wheat heard Zhao Changshan say that there were no two of them, so they asked at the same time: "What can we help?" ”
"It's nothing to do with you, you've been busy all day, go back to the house early and go to bed, you still have work to do tomorrow" Zhao Changshan was very polite to Barley Wheat.
Jian Heng saw that the barley and wheat were asked, and he was embarrassed to say that I went to sleep, so he also opened his mouth and asked, "Do you want me to help?" ”
"Go fry me a topping!" Zhao Changshan said.
"Stir-fried ingredients?" Jian Heng didn't think that he still had something to do, so he asked more.
Zhao Changshan first hummed, and then said: "For the fried ingredients, it's very simple, a few things, peppercorns, dried spicy seeds.... Forget it, I'll go and match you, I hope you can't control the weight."
After saying that, he opened his legs and went straight into the house.
Jian Heng had no choice but to follow him into the kitchen, and when he arrived in the kitchen, he saw Zhao Changshan busy working, grabbing materials in large and small jars, and making a small pile of fragrant leaves and big ingredients.
"Stir-fry first when you start the fire, be careful not to let the ingredients inside stop, either some have been fried, and some have not tasted...."Zhao Changshan said while demonstrating himself.
Jian Heng saw that this thing still needed some skills, the pot was turning over in its hand, and the ingredients inside could not fall out, but Jian Heng felt that he would definitely not be able to do it, so he asked Zhao Changshan, "Do you think I did this job?" ”
Zhao Changshan turned his head and glanced at Jian Heng, and opened his mouth to say that you can't turn the pot upside down, but the words haven't come out yet, and then he remembered that Jian Heng has never entered the New Oriental Chef School, so he scratched his head: "I forgot about this, you really can't do this job!" ”
After speaking, he didn't even breathe, and shouted directly at the outside: "Zhao Wei, is the bucket ready?" ”
"Right away! Give me one more minute! Zhao Wei's voice came over immediately.
Zhao Changshan said loudly: "It takes so long to roll a bucket, and it's not slow to eat!" ”
Feeling that there was nothing wrong with him, Jian Heng simply turned around and walked out of the house directly.
"Why don't you go back?" Jian Heng saw that Zhang Jialiang was still sitting on the railing of the corridor, and the barley and wheat were also leaning on the railing, and he couldn't help but ask.
"Watch Zhao make beef jerky!" The two sisters explained in unison.
The two sisters simply said what Jian Heng wanted, so they watched it together.
Zhao Changshan asked Zhao Wei to fry the ingredients, and he moved the table outside, while using the microwave oven to thaw the beef in the refrigerator, and at the same time, took the refrigerated ones directly to the table outside and cut them into square strips of meat about five centimeters.
All the beef was turned into strips, and the next step was that Zhao Changshan began to show his knife skills, and the original strips of beef were cut into very thin beef slices, a slice of which was two or three millimeters thick.
With the eyes of the onlookers, it is obvious that they cannot distinguish the difference in thickness and thickness, and they all seem to be the same thick.
You look at him who gave him a bag, the knife danced in his hand like a flying flower butterfly, not like cooking, like a performance, as if he was now in the spotlight on his head.
Bang Bang Bang!
Where have you ever seen such a scene of barley and wheat, the knife skills of the Western chef, almost all that is left to change the knife, which is like a Chinese chef, a kitchen knife goes all over the world, it is estimated that if they see the Chinese chef cutting shredded potatoes, it is estimated that they will be shocked by the fact that everything is more than ten catties.
"Thank you, thank you!" Zhao Changshan accepted the compliments of barley and wheat with a smile.
Zhao Changshan cut the beef slices here, and Huang Xiaodong had already chopped the firewood over there, and a fire was lit in the bucket.
In an instant, the pot as big as a bathtub on the shelf quickly became hot under the urging of the fire of dry wood.
Next is to boil boiled beef, which is nothing to say, add water and add ingredients to put the beef and cook it like this.
Wait for the first batch of beef to be boiled and taken out of the pot, let it cool, and at the same time dry the water outside, and then re-put it in the pot, then the pot is hot, and there is no oil or water in it, so just put the boiled beef slices in and fry them.
At this moment, Zhao Changshan had a pot in one hand and a big spoon in the other, and at first he only dialed a few times from time to time, and the longer the time, the faster he dialed, and it took about seven or eight minutes before he saw him lift the cauldron off the fire.
"That's it!" Zhao Changshan felt that the water in the beef was completely forced out, so he shouted, and easily poured the beef in the pot into the iron basin that had been prepared a long time ago.
As soon as he heard about it, Jian Heng, who couldn't hold it back for a long time, immediately prepared to reach out and pinch a piece to taste it.
Zhao Changshan immediately stretched out his hand to stop Jian Heng: "It's too hot, wait a while!" ”。
Just wait, after waiting for about two or three minutes, Jian Heng pinched a piece and put it in his mouth and chewed it, tasting the taste while chewing.
"It's not delicious!" Jian Heng took a few bites and came to a conclusion.
"Hmm!" Zhao Changshan didn't believe it a little, he took a piece and put it in his mouth, and said while chewing: "How can it not be delicious!" Bah! ”
After speaking, he directly spit out the beef in his mouth: "I haven't done it for a long time, I used sugar as salt, so I put a little too much sugar!" ”
Hearing him say this, countless black lines immediately hung on Jian Heng's head: "Can you be a little more sloppy?" Also known as a chef! ”
"Uncle, when did you do this?"
"When I was an apprentice," Zhao Changshan said without thinking.
As soon as everyone heard that he had done it as an apprentice, they immediately understood that this man had made beef jerky at least twenty years ago.
"It's not a waste! Can you give it to Denver, it can't taste good" Zhao Changshan said happily, shouted at Zhao Wei, and asked him to go into the house and take out the salt.
Zhao Wei went to work, but he himself took a piece of beef jerky and walked to the side of the little white lion Denver, squatted down and squeezed out a full smile from his face: "Denver!" Beef jerky, beef jerky, eat, eat! ”
Denver looked at Zhao Changshan and seemed to think that he was still smiling, so he stretched out his head and sniffed the beef jerky in his hand.
While Denver was sniffing, Zhao Changshan directly stuffed the beef jerky into Denver's mouth.
Denver took a few bites, and then spit out the beef jerky in his mouth directly like Zhao Changshan just now.
"Forget it, leave these as souvenirs when you go home during the Spring Festival!" Jian Heng said to Zhao Changshan
Originally, I saw that he was very bullish, and thought that the beef jerky he made would be able to enter even if it was not excellent, but who knew that it was just a look and an empty handle. Although he explained that there was no salt, even if there was salt in this taste, it was estimated that it would not taste very good.
Jian Heng simply didn't wait here, he directly patted his butt and turned around and went back to the house to sleep.
Others didn't wait for Jian Heng to know, anyway, Jian Heng fell asleep instantly from the moment he lay on the bed, and he didn't open his eyes until the next day.
When he waited for Jian Heng to get up, he found that Zhao Changshan's master and apprentice had just been completed.
"Spent the night?" Jian Heng asked in surprise.
"Well, I want to finish it early, and I'll go to New York today to get chickens and buy pigs," Zhao Changshan said and handed over a piece of beef jerky: "Try it!" ”
"Hmmm! Not bad! Jian Heng took a bite of this, and immediately felt that the taste was right: "It is much better than the beef jerky I used to eat in China."
"You think all you eat is beef?" Zhao Changshan smiled and said, "This flavor is the real beef."
