Farmhouse pretty cook

221 Chapter 1 Confession ([-])
She picked a few pieces of high-quality pork belly from the pork that was unloaded from the car, washed it with water, and brought it into the kitchen, "Caiyun, heat the small pot, let's make braised pork."

"Braised pork?" Cai Yun's face was full of excitement. It's been a long time since I ate braised pork. "Great, I'll start the fire right away, big sister, do you want any other condiments? I'll find them for you."

Seeing her greedy look, Mu Xiang couldn't stop laughing. While scooping water into the small pot, she said, "No, there are all in the kitchen, by the way."

Mu Xiang thought about it, and the condiments she wanted were star anise, bay leaves, green onions, ginger, sugar, and rice wine.

She has always prepared the first two kinds of spices. Star anise is very common here. As for the fragrant leaves, I have to buy them from Tuofu Shoulou.

In fact, to make the most authentic braised pork, in addition to white sugar, you have to use rock sugar. Unfortunately, she only has brown sugar and white sugar here, and there is really no rock sugar.

Fill the small pot with water, and while the water is cooling, quickly put the cut pork belly in. After the water boils, boil the meat for a while and then remove it.

The spices need to be stir-fried first to force out the aroma, then pour in the sugar, and cook over low heat to bring out the sugar color.

Generally, braised pork has a sweet taste. As for the degree of sweetness, it depends on each person's taste.

Mu Xiang doesn't like to make the taste too sweet, it will be very boring to eat, so she doesn't put much sugar in the pot.

Caiyun sat down behind the stove and took a deep breath, "It smells so good, even better than the smell last time!"

Mu Xiang stirred the sugar in the pot, and said with a confident smile: "That's natural, once raw and cooked twice, and then cook a few more times, I guarantee that the taste of this braised pork is better, not worse than that of a big restaurant. .”

Caiyun hummed with a smile, expressing her agreement with the elder sister's words, she suddenly thought, "Sister, why don't we open a restaurant in the future, the business will definitely be booming."

"No," Mu Xiang shook her head, "Although I don't hate cooking, I don't want to hang around the pot all day long. My body and hair are full of oily smoke all day long. After a long time, the thick oily smoke on my face will be washed away." Don’t drop it, haven’t you seen Chef Wang Lei in Fushou Building? The whole oil gourd!”

She couldn't go on, she felt disgusted just thinking about it.Staying in the kitchen for many years, dealing with oil fume for many years, even the skin that is juicy can't stand the toss.

She cooks to enjoy the process of cooking, so she doesn't want to spend all day around the stove.

Caiyun thought for a while and understood, "It seems to be the case, then let's just cook and eat by ourselves instead of opening a restaurant." It's not that she doesn't have her own ideas, she's used to having her elder sister as the backbone, which is commonly known as a single heart.

Mu Xiang smiled, seeing that the sugar color was almost fried, she quickly put the chopped pork belly in.

There are a lot of people eating tonight, and there are too many cuts of pork belly. There are as many as half a pot, and it is quite laborious to stir fry.

After frying the woody fragrance for a while, you need to rest your arms, otherwise your arms will become sore.

Watch the pork belly stir-fry until the water is exhausted, the color is translucent, the surface is slightly yellow, and the oil starts to come out, then you can add rice wine and soy sauce and continue to stir-fry.

At this time, the heat is too important. If you don't pay attention to it, if the fire is too high, it will cause a paste.Even if it's okay.But the bottom of the pot is sticky with sugar color, which is also difficult to clean.

After adding soy sauce, the surface of the meat will soon be covered with a layer of soy sauce. At this time, you can add water, add business, and aroma, and simmer over low heat to taste.

As for the ratio of salt, it depends on each person's taste.

After the Zhu in the small pot boiled and tasted the woody fragrance, I put down the salt, just to be on the safe side.

Wiping the oil stains on her hands, she straightened her waist and told Caiyun to catch fire, "I'll go outside to see if they've done it."

Caiyun nodded in response, "Well, you can go, I'll be here if I'm here."

Before leaving, Mu Xiang was worried, and lifted the pot of stewed beef to prevent the soup from drying up.

The carrots that have just been dug up have been washed and cut into large pieces. They are cooked together with the beef pot, which can not only absorb excess oil, but also add flavor to the beef.

In addition to carrots and bean sprouts, they are also essential, and they are boiled together.Do not add tofu, and the pot will not fit if you add too much.

In the yard, He An and the others had already unloaded all the goods, and because there was no place to store them, they used wooden boards to stack them under the eaves of the porch.

Before the goods were unloaded, Wu Qing and He An ran to the old house to help the master with work.

The earthen stove had been dismantled long ago, and the soil was about to be transported out.

Liu Erdan took the fence back home, and used the fence to transport the soil clods removed from the old stove.

He Liancheng has great strength, and when he starts to work, he can beat Liu Erdan three times.

Later, He An and Wu Qing joined in, and the old kitchen was tidied up after a while.There are even a few extra bed frames made of wooden boards.

Of course, it wasn't for sleeping, it was for freeing up the wooden box in the old wing, otherwise Da Fei and the others would have no place to sleep at night.

"Hey, you guys are working so fast," Mu Xiang stood at the door with a happy smile, watching them work in full swing.How long has it been since the old kitchen in her house has changed.

Men's work is different, much better than the three of them.

Wu Qing and He An ignored her, and He An even gave her a sneaky look in protest, who made her stand and talk without back pain.

Da Fei shook his arms, and said in a rough voice: "Hey, what are you cooking in the kitchen? It smells delicious. I eat a lot. You'd better cook more. If you can't eat enough, I won't cook for you." live!"

In fact, he didn't figure it out, he was hungry.When I think of staying here for ten days, not to mention working every day, if I can't even eat enough, it's hard work!

He remembered that he had a big appetite, and he heard that the country people were very poor, and it would be good to be able to eat corn buns every day, but they couldn't even eat a mouthful of white rice.

I used to follow An Pingyu, and although I didn't like it very much, I drank spicy food, but every meal at least had white flour steamed buns, and sometimes I could eat barbecue and drink a bowl of broth.Although not often, such treatment can be regarded as enjoying.

But judging by the situation in this girl's family, life must be difficult.

Although they brought back a load of pork, he reckoned that even if they roasted the pork, they wouldn't burn a lot of it, at most a few pieces would be enough.

People buy meat for business, not for entertaining them, so how can I feed them all.
