Chapter 35: Xiao Xuanzhi finally regretted it
Meng Lianyi's eyes lit up.
yes, how did she forget!
Many seasonings were used as medicinal herbs in the beginning.
Meng Lianyi went to the pharmacy.
Sure enough, I bought pepper and cloves inside.
It's just that the spices in ancient times were scarce, and the price was very expensive.
Especially pepper, it is the title of one or two peppers and one or two silver.
So, when all the seasonings were gathered, it cost a lot of money.
This made Meng Lianyi a little painful.
Fortunately, the marinade can be reused, and after buying enough seasonings, Meng Lianyi went to the meat shop in Dongshi to buy a few fatty meat and stick bones, planning to use them to make soup.
Seeing that there were still a few pig heads in the butcher shop that had not been sold, Meng Lianyi's heart moved: "Boss, what is the price of your pig head?" ”
Because Meng Lianyi is outstanding, the owner of the butcher shop still remembers Meng Lianyi.
Hearing Meng Lianyi ask about the pig's head, he was a little surprised for a while, but he immediately replied: "Three hundred wen, only three hundred wen." ”
Because there is not much meat on the pig's head, and it is mostly lean meat, the price is not very high.
Meng Lianyi roughly weighed it, this pig's head must be twenty or thirty catties, and the price of two hundred wen is about eight wen per catty, which is really cheap.
Meng Lianyi was very satisfied, and asked for two directly after asking the price.
"You want these two pig heads?" The boss looked at Meng Lianyi in surprise.
These two pigs' heads have a lot of meat.
If you eat it at home, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it for a while.
But Meng Lianyi nodded without any concern: "That's right, I want these two for the time being." ”
Although the pig's head is not considered the best meat in this era, the pig's ears and pork face are all excellent marinated ingredients.
If the next test sale can go well, maybe I will often come to buy pig heads in the future.
Meng Lianyi's temporary two words made the boss stunned for a moment.
But you don't need to know that much about doing business, you just need to sell things.
Today, he sold the most difficult pig head on weekdays in one go, and the smile on the boss's face was even brighter.
Seeing Meng Lianyi staring at the pig in the water, he directly waved his hand and gave the rest of the pig into the water as a tie-in.
Meng Lianyi took it with a smile.
Very good, pig water, is also a good ingredient to make lo-mei.
After buying the ingredients he needed, Meng Lianyi returned with a full load.
As soon as I got home, I saw Mo Jinge staying at the door looking forward to it.
As soon as he saw himself coming back, he immediately got up from the door frame in surprise and threw himself at him.
"Aunt Meng, have you bought the seasoning?"
Meng Lianyi once told Mo Jinge before going to the county seat that the most important thing to make lo-mei is the seasoning.
It's just that I don't know if the county can get the seasoning they need, and if they can't, the business of lo-mei will not be able to continue.
So after Mo Jinge learned about it, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to buy the seasoning he needed.
Now when he saw Meng Lianyi coming back, he hurriedly asked Meng Lianyi.
Meng Lianyi hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, then nodded: "Don't worry, I have already bought all the ingredients, and I have bought some ingredients, let's make it tonight, and we can just bring it over to sell it and try it when we go to the market tomorrow." ”
Mo Jinge breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Then he followed behind Meng Lianyi with his eyes, and helped Meng Lianyi do something from time to time.
In order to catch up with the market tomorrow, the small courtyard was instantly busy.
Except for Mo Xuanzhi, who was still young, he would go next door to play with Xiaohuzi, and the rest of Mo Xiuran and Mo Jinge followed Meng Lianyi to help.
The process of making braised pork is actually not complicated, you only need to boil the braised soup well, and then soak the ingredients in the braised soup after cooking.
The braised soup can be reused, so Meng Lianyi mixed the freshly boiled braised soup with the last braised soup and boiled it again.
After boiling over low heat for almost two hours, the aroma of the ingredients and the stick bones have been boiled out, exuding a tangy fragrance.
The child who was originally waiting at the kitchen door drooling changed from Mo Xuanzhi to Mo Xuanzhi and Huzi.
It's just that the longer the lo-mei is soaked, the better the taste, and the braised meat they made last time didn't soak in the marinade for too long before eating, so it's actually not perfect.
Meng Lianyi's own taste is definitely not as good as he remembers.
It's just that the three children didn't taste it at that time, but ate it very sweetly.
But since he wants to do business this time, Meng Lianyi naturally hopes to make the taste to the extreme.
So all the ingredients are cooked and processed, and then soaked in the marinade.
It wasn't until the next day, when I saw that the ingredients were almost delicious, that I fished them out.
All the ingredients have turned a burnt red color from the overnight soaking.
It looks delicious.
It's completely different from the "casual version" that I made last time.
Meng Lianyi couldn't help but cut off a piece and threw it into his mouth.
On the spot, I felt that the familiar taste poured into my throat, and I felt even more delicious when I took a bite.
The fragrance goes straight into the stomach.
After eating, people can't wait to eat another big bowl.
Meng Lianyi tasted it himself and found that the taste was very close to what he remembered, so he also gave each of the three children a taste.
"Let's try it, this time it's better than the first time we made it, and the lo-mei still needs to be soaked in the marinade for a while to be more delicious."
Meng Lianyi said as he stuffed a piece of meat into Mo Xuanzhi's mouth.
Mo Xuanzhi's eyes lit up all of a sudden after eating.
"Good...... It's delicious! Even better than the last time we made it. ”
After eating one bite, Mo Xuanzhi still felt unsatisfied, so he couldn't help but smash it twice and said with some regret:
"The braised pork this time is really better than last time, I should have listened to Aunt Meng last time, and it would be better to bubble in the marinade."
Looking at Mo Xuanzhi's white and tender face with a look of remorse, Meng Lianyi couldn't help but smile.
"So now I know that I have to listen to Aunt Meng in the future."
Mo Xuanzhi supported his chin with both hands and nodded hurriedly: "I want to listen!" ”
"That's right." Meng Lianyi smiled and touched Mo Xuanzhi's head.
Mo Xuanzhi let Meng Lianyi mess with the small tuss on his head, and then continued to speak: "That...... Can I eat a little more? ”
He said, gesturing a small distance between his index finger and thumb.
Mo Xuanzhi was born cute, and coupled with Meng Lianyi's delicious and delicious feeding during this time, the whole person gained weight.
There is also flesh on the face.
At this time, he looked at it with a flattering look, Meng Lianyi couldn't help but reach out and pinch the milk fat on the child's face, and then doted: "Of course you can, this time Aunt Meng marinated the pig's face, wait a moment to give us Xuanzhi a taste of the pig's face." ”
"Great! Thank you, Aunt Meng. Mo Xuanzhi jumped up happily, his eyes full of anticipation.
