Chapter 23 Braised Eggs
Early the next morning, Xu Fugui got up with great interest, weighed each condiment and put it in the pot, added water, first burned it over high heat, and then turned to low heat and boiled slowly.
Xu Fugui bent down and looked at the gradually darkening pot, sniffed it with his hand, and nodded with satisfaction.
After learning from the lo-mei boss in his previous life, he tinkered with it many times at home, and although the taste was not as good as the lo-mei boss, after gaining experience, the taste gradually became more and more positive.
Later, the boss of lo-mei fell in love with him, went down a few glasses of wine, and even told the recipe for the hot sauce.
Sometimes, lo-mei is not only about being delicious, but if the hot sauce is good, it will take lo-mei to the next level.
Some people even come for the marinated hot sauce, half a bowl of hot sauce with white rice, you can eat three full bowls.
"Uncle Gen, you help me look at the pot."
Nagane answered, walked over and looked at it carefully.
"Come on, come and clean up the large intestine with me, mother, didn't you have some wild eggs left last time, you cook them for me first."
He squatted on the ground, took out a wooden basin and cleaned the large intestine in the yard with Laishun, this thing really stinks, he exhales and inhales less, and tries to avoid standing in the wind.
"Fugui, what are you doing here? The intestine is here, you like to eat this thing, I'll send you a piece next time. ”
Chen Yunsheng passed by the door, whip in his hand and a buffalo in his hand, and a set of tools on his back.
Recently, there is good news that under the subtle influence, the people in Xujia Village gradually stopped calling him the young master.
"Fifth brother, where are you going to do things? If you're not busy, come in and sit down. ”
In addition to farming, Chen Yun also went to apprenticeship a few years ago to learn the craft of slaughtering pigs and sheep.
Usually, if no one asks him to do things, he will farm, if there is a family that wants to kill pigs and sheep, he will go on a trip, and sell it to the county seat, which can make a lot of money.
Of course, some large families do not kill and sell, but even if they kill and eat at home, they will give the butcher a hard fee.
So don't look at the pig killer business, which is a bit unpopular, but in fact, the income is quite good in the countryside.
Of course, this work is also tiring, a pig, after killing and bleeding, there are about 200 catties, and it is not easy to walk on the country road by manpower alone. Not to mention carrying it to the county seat more than ten miles away.
Fortunately, Chen Yunsheng has a buffalo at home, which is not only used to plough the fields, but also to help him carry heavy loads.
So Chen Yunsheng is very precious to this buffalo, and he usually serves it well, and others joke that the buffalo is his woman, but he smiled generously and did not deny it.
Without further ado, Chen Yunsheng seemed to have plenty of time, and walked into the courtyard surrounded by Nanzhu, "There are no people in our place who eat large intestines, and few people eat pigs in the water." ”
"Usually I don't buy it, if you like to eat it, I'll bring it to you later, I just don't know what to do."
Xu Fugui's hand movements did not stop, and he replied with a smile: "Fifth brother, I was about to tell you, if there are pigs in the water in the future, keep them for me, and I will buy them with money." ”
Chen Yunsheng was deliberately unhappy and said: "Whatever you buy, it's something that no one wants." ”
Lai Shun interjected, "My young master is going to get money to sell it." “
Chen Yunsheng smiled, his face full of disbelief.
Lai Shun is a tendon, and when he saw that he didn't believe it, he told him about the lo-mei.
"Lo-mei? What is it? Chen Yunsheng asked puzzled.
Although lo-mei has been circulating in this land for a long time, this thing has never appeared in Yunxi County, and ordinary people rarely know about it.
Chen Yunsheng didn't know, it was really normal.
Xu Fugui poured out the water in the wooden basin, "Fifth brother, I'll send it to you to taste it when it's marinated later, it's absolutely delicious." ”
Chen Yunsheng didn't refuse, "Cheng, I'll go first, Master Long told me to kill the pig, as if he wanted to eat it himself." ”
Lai Shun was silent, this pig was probably raised by his Xu family before, and Long Er directly picked up a ready-made.
The large intestine has been cleaned many times, and there is still a faint smell, which is unavoidable, and it must be blanched in a pot to become a pot.
After sitting under the eaves and resting for a while, I got up and went to the pot to take a look, the color of the lo-mei was almost the same, and a rich and unique fragrance filled the stove room, and even spread outward.
"It's so fragrant, it tastes ......," Lai swallowed.
Xu Fugui tasted it with chopsticks, and the taste was a little worse than in his previous life, after all, there were fewer tools and condiments, but it didn't matter, and it didn't affect the most fundamental taste.
Take out the boiled 20 wild eggs, gently break them one by one and put them in the pot to avoid being boiled when marinated.
Blanch the large intestine in water, put it in the pot after processing, and then wait for the eggs and large intestine to marinate to taste.
Walking out of the thatched house, although it did not rain today, the dense fog still did not dissipate, the clouds moved with the wind, and the coarse cloth clothes could not stop the coolness.
"It smells so good."
Some time later, two children of the Sun family and one of the children of the Chen family were playing nearby, and they followed this wonderful aroma to the outside of his yard.
Even Xu Kaihui, the hostess of the Sun family, and Chen Yunsheng's daughter-in-law, Zhufang, couldn't help but come out to take a look.
When Xu Fugui saw it, he beckoned and asked the children to come over.
"Young Master." The three children pushed me into the yard and called the young master obediently.
"Call your brother, and I'll give you something delicious."
The three children glanced at each other, and under the temptation of the aroma of lo-mei, they still called Brother Gui in unison.
Xu Fugui laughed, walked into the house, and saw that the wild eggs had already tasted, so he fished out nine wild eggs and gave four children of the Chen family and five children of the Sun family.
"Na, it's hot, wrapped in clothes, you can only eat one, give it to your father and mother to take it back and taste it."
Looking at the strange brown egg in their arms, they swallowed, "Thank you, brother." ”
After saying that, he went back with a cigarette.
Xu Kaihui and Zhu Fang listened to their children's words, first scolded them loudly, and then chatted with Xu Fugui across the paddy field, saying that the child was ignorant.
Xu Fugui waved his hand, "They are all neighbors, and you usually take good care of us, just a few braised eggs, taste it." ”
They also didn't know what a braised egg was, but after tasting it, their eyes lit up, and they were reluctant to eat it again, ignoring the child's resentful eyes, leaving half of it for him, and putting away the rest and hiding it.
Seeing this scene, Xu Fugui breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and fished out the remaining ten eggs, and looked at the large intestine by the way.
The large intestine takes a long time to absorb the flavor, but it's not in a hurry.
There are five people in the family now, exactly two eggs per person.
"Can you eat this thing?" Father Xu looked at the brown egg, although the aroma made him swallow his saliva, but he still said hard.
The next second, he tasted it, and his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes and savor it......
