Chapter 168: Boiling Lard

When Qin Xi got home, she set up the pot, removed the fat on the pork, separated the skin and meat, and kept the pork skin to make dumplings.

Wash the fat and the two taels of lard and cut them into small pieces, pour a small half scoop of water into the pot, and then pour the fat into it and boil slowly.

At the beginning, the kitchen was filled with the smell of meat, but as the boiling time became longer, the smell of meat was covered by the smell of oil.

Every time you fry the vegetables with oil, the work of wiping the pot is often the exclusive right of the most favored child in the family, regardless of whether it is rice or porridge or sweet potatoes, it is directly poured into the pot, and the spatula is stirred, if it is a sweet potato and potato, it is crushed, this operation can stain the remaining soup and oil in the pot.

"Are you alright?" Qin Jiang looked at the oil residue in the pot while burning the fire, and was hooked by the domineering oil fragrance, so he had to stand aside.

"Immediately, you pull out the firewood in the stove first, the temperature of this hot oil pan is enough to squeeze the oil out of these oil residues."

The location of Qinxi Station is very far from the stove, more than one meter away!

No matter how many times she boiled the lard, she stayed away from the pot that might crackle and bounce hot oil.

Fortunately, this oil refining is not like stir-frying, it needs people to stand on the side all the time and stir-fry, this fat meat is in the pot, basically she doesn't need to turn it, and the rest depends on the person who burns the fire.

Qin Jiang was very much looking forward to this pot of hot oil, not only did not retreat, but also took the initiative to move forward, but this pot of oil splashed a few drops of hot oil in front, and the back was safe and stable, which kept Qin Jiang's face that kept moving forward and couldn't pull it.

A minute passed, seeing that it was almost over, Qin Xi's eyes quickly fished out the lard residue, which is the oil residue to be used to make dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is not good to boil it.

Putting the bowl with the pork lard residue on the table on the side, as soon as Qin Xi turned his head, he saw Qin Jiang blinking his pitiful and innocent big eyes, and he didn't speak, just looking at her like this, which softened people's hearts.

"Not now, this oil residue is too hot, it will burn your mouth, you have to dry it for two minutes, and it will cool down before you can eat it."

"Okay!" The next time, Qin Jiang almost counted.

When he counted to one hundred and two, Qin Jiang looked at Qin Xi: "Sister, two minutes have passed." ”

This counting method was taught to him by Qin Xi, sixty seconds is one minute, two minutes is one hundred and twenty seconds, counting a number is one second, two minutes is one hundred and twenty seconds, and one hundred and twenty numbers need to be counted.

"Later, I'll sprinkle some salt on it, it will taste a little better."

The snow-white salt powder was flipped in the golden lard residue, and when it was shaken, Qin Xi first took two pieces for her brother: "Taste it, is it the taste?" ”

She found out that when the two of them are alone, her brother's personality will be very soft and soft, and when he speaks, he is a little coquettish inside, but he looks very serious in front of outsiders, and the whole cool brother who is not smiling rarely speaks.

"It's delicious, you can eat it too!"

The rich aroma of oil and saltiness, the oil flowers locked in the lard residue swim in his mouth, coupled with the crispy taste of the oil residue, the more you chew, the more fragrant it is, and you can't stop at all.

Qin Jiang chewed for a while before he reluctantly swallowed the food he was chewing in his mouth, and tasted it for two seconds before eating another piece.

He liked this lard residue more than the sugar cube, and there was no other adjective besides deliciousness.

Qin Xi saw that he ate so deliciously, she didn't plan to eat it, but she was successfully hooked out of the gluttony.

As soon as he entered his mouth, Qin Xi's eyes lit up, it was delicious! Sure enough, the meat is the most fragrant.

Thinking of the delicacies such as back-to-the-pot meat, chili peppers, stir-fried meat, yellow stewed chicken, stewed local chicken, etc., Qin Xi's saliva was about to flow out, and as soon as her appetite was stimulated, this idea of salt mixed with lard residue obviously couldn't satisfy her appetite.

Not to mention anything else, the dish of chili fried meat can still be eaten immediately, she decided, she will eat chili fried meat at noon today, this kind of meal, or with rice to eat, although the chili pepper in the chili fried meat is dried chili, but the flaws are not hidden, as a meal, it is still very good.

There is also a stewed local chicken with ginger and salt as a seasoning, there are still a lot of people who raise chickens in the village, and it is definitely a local chicken, it is a bit expensive, five yuan a piece, Qin Xi plans to ask in the next two days to see if he can buy it, I don't know if the old hen can be cheaper.

Although the oil residue is delicious, it is easy to catch fire, and they usually eat very little oil and water, if they eat too much oil residue at once, they are likely to have stomach trouble.

Of course, Qin Xi and his three brothers and sisters are only so fat, and if they want to make a stomach, this idea of oil residue is definitely not enough, she eats little, and she is purely reluctant.

Thinking of Qin He, who had not yet eaten the lard residue, and the dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve, Qin Xi still held back, only ate two pieces, and then added another piece to Qin Jiang, who was eager to wear it, and put the bowl on the table.

"Brother, you wait at home, take care of our family's meat and oil, I'll go to the second child to see if it's his turn, don't worry, we will definitely be able to eat a meal of meat at noon today."

With this guarantee, Qin Jiang's eyebrows directly relaxed: "I'll wait for you at home, and besides, I will feed the rabbit, and let him obediently accompany you there to buy meat." ”

Rabbits are still very important in his eyes, because rabbits are equal to meat, and if these little rabbits are raised, his sister will be able to sell them for money to buy meat.

Moreover, he also likes to eat rabbit meat, although he has only eaten it once, until now, he can't remember how the rabbit meat tasted at that time, but the word delicious is engraved in the memory of the depths of his mind, and he will never forget it.

"Big brother, it's still hello, I'll tell the second one." She was very confident in her brother, and if she didn't let him move or let him eat, he would never move.

Moreover, even if he eats the pip lard residue in the bowl, it is nothing, the big deal is that the dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve do not add that bit of oil residue, add more green onion into it, and the taste should be similar.

Qin Xi rushed to the barn with the basket, and on the road, there was a domineering smell of oil everywhere, and everyone was boiling lard, ready to welcome the arrival of the New Year!

The children who were boiling lard at home all stood at the kitchen door and waited, stretching their necks, greedily trying to suck all the fragrance in the air into their chests.
