Chapter 3 Little Crispy Pork
It seems that Mr. Xia is not very good at cooking, but he is economical.
"Sister-in-law Lu will find out later." Xia Mingyue said with a smile.
Lu was confused but didn't ask any more questions. She just went to the yard with Xia Mingyue first and helped Xia Mingyue.
Xia Mingyue rolled up her sleeves and started cooking.
Separate the lean meat from the fat side of the hip meat, cut the pure lean pork into strips as thick as your little finger, add minced ginger, salt, and minced Sichuan peppercorns crushed with a garlic mortar, marinate for a while, then wrap it with sweet potato gravy and eggs. , salt, and crushed Sichuan peppercorns, mix well into the batter, and put it into a 60% hot oil pan.
Every time you put a piece of meat wrapped in batter, the hot oil will quickly wrap it, producing fine bubbles and a wonderful sound of sizzling, accompanied by the fried golden meat strips in the oil pan. Floating in the air, the rich aroma also filled the entire kitchen.
The aroma attracted Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu. The two of them looked over the courtyard wall, "What are Mom and Aunt Xia cooking? It's so fragrant?"
"Hey, hey. Hey, I said you should collect it quickly, before the yard is flooded later!" Zhao Dahu rolled his eyes at Zhao Erhu.
“I swallowed all my hala, but your hala dripped on the wall!”
Zhao Erhu replied, but he didn't forget to take a few sharp breaths between words.
With such a fragrant smell, it’s good to take a few more breaths.
Damn it, you actually took the opportunity to suck up all the fragrance in front of him!
Not to be outdone, Zhao Dahu only competed with Zhao Erhu to see who could inhale more aroma.
Dry the fried pork until golden brown. When the oil temperature rises to 70% hot, put it in the pot and fry again. This way, you can keep the skin crispy and make it really crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
While waiting for the crispy meat to cool down, Lu couldn't resist its rich aroma and tasted one first.
It is crispy in the mouth and the meat is fresh and tender. When you bite into it, the aroma of meat juice will fill your teeth and cheeks.
The salty taste is just right, and the slight numbness of Sichuan peppercorns fully stimulates the taste buds. It also removes the greasiness of the meat after being fried, adding a spicy taste.
In short, this is the most delicious crispy pork she has ever tasted.
Can’t stop at all!
She wants to take back what she said before that Xia Mingyue can't cook!
I was so immersed in the delicious taste of the crispy pork that I could not extricate myself. When Lu came back to her senses, she had already eaten one, two, three, or four small crispy pork.
“The short crispy pork made by my sister-in-law is really delicious.”
She was here to help, but she ate it first, and Mrs. Lu felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his ears, but when he spoke, his mouth was still slurred because of the small crispy meat.
Xia Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled, "It will taste better later."
Lu was stunned.
This is an extremely delicious little crispy pork, can it be even more delicious?
What’s the best way to eat it?
Under Lu's surprised gaze, Xia Mingyue was already busy frying sliced tofu, then heated the pot, poured water, and put in washed cabbage leaves and fried tofu. slices, fried eggs, salt, soy sauce , a little sugar, bring to a boil over high heat, and simmer over low heat...
When the cabbage is soft, the tofu is stewed, and the aroma of the fried eggs is completely oozing out, Xia Mingyue will fry the fried crispy pork. Pour half of it in and continue simmering.
The aroma wafted out through the cracks in the wooden lid again.
The aroma made Lu salivate, and she even had the urge to open the lid of the pot and taste the saltiness.
But with the lesson learned from the past experience of the little crispy pork, Mrs. Lu was afraid that all the short crispy pork stewed with cabbage and tofu would end up in her stomach, so she had to suppress this impulse and only helped Xia Mingyue continue to light the fire. .
When the sun rose to its highest point, Lu Qiyan led Zhao Youcai, Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu back together.
"You're here just in time, ready to eat." Xia Mingyue and Lu greeted them with a smile.
Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu helped move the table and get a stool, but they couldn't help but glance towards the kitchen. The food was served quickly.
A plate of cold fried tofu shreds and cabbage shreds, a plate of dry-fried crispy pork, a plate of fried fungus, and a large pot of cabbage and tofu stewed with crispy pork. The staple food is Hanging stove pancakes.
Sat down one by one, took the chopsticks and started eating.
The cold vegetables are crisp and refreshing, the fried fungus is sour and spicy, the short crispy meat is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside...
Everything is delicious!
If I had to choose the most delicious one, it would have to be the braised short crispy pork with cabbage and tofu!
The soup is slightly spicy and has a slightly sweet fragrance. The cabbage is soft, waxy and refreshing. The tofu is divided into fried and directly stewed white tofu. The former has a chewy texture, while the latter is extremely tender and smooth. The already delicious little crispy pork is now full of soup. After one bite, the deliciousness of the whole dish is in your mouth...
Lu Qiyan thinks this is the most delicious cabbage and tofu stew he has ever tasted. Crispy meat.
There is no one or the other.
Zhao Youcai was also very satisfied with the meal and wanted to praise it, but he didn't know what words to use when he opened his mouth. He held it in for a long time and only said one sentence, "My brothers and sisters cook so deliciously, it's really delicious!"< br>
"Thank you, Brother Zhao." Xia Mingyue replied with a smile, and added some to Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu, whose bowls were about to bottom out.
"Thank you, Aunt Xia."
The two brothers answered vaguely, buried their heads and continued to cook.
With such a delicious cabbage and tofu stewed with crispy pork, any pause for any second would be disrespectful to the dish!
After lunch, the two families got together and talked for a while, chatting about home affairs.
Because they had to rush back to the military camp before evening, Zhao Youcai and his family went back first to help him pack his things.
Xia Mingyue thought for a moment and then spoke hesitantly, "Brother Lu, what do you need to bring with you when you go to the military camp? I can help you prepare it."
"No need to prepare anything." Lu Qiyan took it from his arms He took out a piece of paper and handed it to Xia Mingyue, "Put this away."
Xia Mingyue took it and looked at it carefully.
This piece of paper is stamped with the big seal of Jinqiu County Government. The red one is Xia Mingyue's household registration document.
Since the end of the Su Dynasty, when the heroes were divided and the wars were going on, the former Yingzhou Jiedu envoy Ling Chenyu was a corporal. He loved the people like a son and had a high prestige. After several years of fighting in various places, he occupied the hinterland of the Central Plains. The Great Monday Dynasty was established.
Jinqiu County belongs to the territory of Dazhou, while Chuzhou, Xia Mingyue's native place, belongs to Dawu State at this time. When Xia Mingyue arrived here, she naturally had to apply for household registration documents here.
Then Lu Qiyan hurried out in the morning to apply for her household registration?
I just don’t know if there is a marriage certificate...
Xia Mingyue carefully folded the household registration documents first, "Thank you, Brother Lu."
"Take this, too." Lu Qiyan handed the things over again.
This time it was a money bag with some broken silver in it, about four or five taels.
Lu Qiyan said, "I have never thought about saving money before, so the money in my hand at this time is really not much. If I come back next time, I will get some more for you."
Is this to support her?
Xia Mingyue raised her eyebrows.
But Lu Qiyan didn’t seem to want to have sex as a couple.
It’s really strange...
