Chapter 7 Salted Pork Liver
He knows this question!
Zhao Erhu, who had just finished eating the meat pie Xia Mingyue gave him, hurriedly came over and said, "My mother used to set up a stall selling meat buns and made a lot of money."
"Since I made a lot of money, why don't I do it now?" Xia Mingyue was surprised.
“Because the man who bought the meat buns said that the meat buns made by my mother were not delicious, and he complained a few words. My mother argued with him, but the other party couldn’t argue with me, so he reached out and knocked down my mother’s steamed bun stall, so I lost a lot of money. Money." Zhao Dahu also added.
Xia Mingyue, "..."
I did make a lot of money.
It is indeed difficult to set up stalls and do business anymore.
Mr. Lu curled her lips, "If you two are full, shut up and stop talking!"
She also wants to have face!
At noon, Xia Mingyue ate a bowl of cabbage and egg pimple soup made by Lu at her house, took a short rest and then started her busy afternoon.
According to Lu's plan, he went shopping on the street first, found a place with a good location, and took the small square table at home to occupy it, thus settling on a slightly more fixed stall.
Then we went to Hong Butcher’s butcher’s shop.
Without any pleasantries, Xia Mingyue and Lu got straight to the point and directly explained their intention.
Butcher Hong scratched his ears, "I understand what Madam Xia and Madam Lu mean. If you come here to buy meat every day, you can indeed be considered a bigger customer. The price is high. , I’ll make it cheaper than you. From now on, I’ll give you two cents cheaper per kilogram of front shoulder meat.”
"Brother Hong is a cheerful person, so let's make it two cents cheaper first. If I use more pork in the future, how about we negotiate a new price with Brother Hong?" Xia Mingyue took advantage of the situation and left some room.
Discussing prices needs to be supported by actual purchase volume. In the eyes of Butcher Hong, the extravagant talk is just a cakewalk and needs to be discussed again in the future.
After thinking for a while, Butcher Hong nodded, "Okay, no problem, but from now on you can't go to other places to buy meat, you can only buy it from me."
"Brother Hong also has to ensure that whether the price of the meat rises or falls, it must be cheaper than the market price by the price difference we have set. The meat must also be fresh and of good quality."
"Mrs. Xia, don't worry. ." Butcher Hong slapped his chest loudly, "I, Butcher Hong, have a very good reputation in West Street. I guarantee that I won't let anything go unnoticed."
"With Brother Hong's words, we can rest assured." Xia Mingyue smiled with crooked eyebrows, "Then we will come to buy meat early tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Butcher Hong nodded and thought for a while. After that, he picked up a piece of pig liver from the wooden basin at his feet, tied it with a hemp rope and stuffed it into Xia Mingyue's hand, "This is today's fresh pig liver. Although it is not valuable, it is still a good thing, but most people can't make it." Okay, since Madam Xia can sell meat cakes, her cooking skills are probably not bad, so let’s give Madam Xia this pork liver to eat. It’s good for cooking and stewing.”
Madam Xia came to buy it in the morning. Meat, he thought Madam Xia was a greedy person, but now it seems that he was wrong about her.
Butcher Hong was a little embarrassed because of this, so he gave the pork liver partly because he felt guilty for wronging someone, and partly to show his goodwill to future big customers.
Xia Mingyue only knew the latter and did not refuse. She took the liver and said, "Thank you, Brother Hong."
After carrying the pork liver out of the butcher shop, Xia Mingyue and Lu went to the vegetable seller on the street and bought some onions, ginger, garlic and some necessary seasonings.
The quantity required at one time is quite considerable, and we negotiated a good price.
After the shopping was completed, the two returned home. After packing and storing everything, Xia Mingyue began to process the pig liver that she got from Butcher Hong.
If you want to remove the fishy smell from the pork liver and retain its freshness, it is very important to remove the blood foam.
Soak it in cold water, rub it repeatedly, change the water and rinse it many times. It is also necessary to blanch it in a pot with cold water to fully remove the remaining blood on the pig liver.
Wash again and put in cold water into the pot, add salt, rice wine, onions, ginger, pepper, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, etc., bring to a boil over high heat, simmer over low heat, stop the heat and simmer.
Soak the pork liver together with the soup and cool it for an hour. After the salt flavor is fully absorbed, the salted pork liver can be taken out and eaten.
Cut it into thin slices and eat it directly. It is full of original flavor and fragrance, and your mouth is filled with the mellow taste of pork liver itself. You can also use vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, etc. to make a sauce for dipping the pork liver. In addition to the light fragrance, it will become richer and more delicious.
Xia Mingyue was quite satisfied with the salted pork liver she made this time. After devouring it, she cut an extra plate and sent it to Lu under the cover of night.
Mrs. Lu thanked her profusely, took it away, and carried it to the kitchen, preparing to eat it in the morning.
But...
The faint aroma from the pork liver penetrates directly into the nostrils.
Why don't you try it salty?
This way, it’s easier to plan what kind of meal to prepare in the morning.
Lu felt that this was a good reason, so she reached out and picked up a piece of pork liver and put it in her mouth.
Pork liver is tender and smooth, slightly pink and fresh in taste, moderately salty, and various seasonings add flavor and freshness without overpowering the dish. On the contrary, it adds to the fragrance of the pork liver.
Mr. Lu smacked his lips and said to himself while savoring the delicious taste of the pork liver just now, "It seems that I ate too fast and didn't taste the saltiness. How about trying two more pieces?"
< br>So, the second piece of pork liver, the third piece of pork liver...
When Lu had finished eating less than half of the plate of pork liver, two black figures suddenly appeared at the door of the kitchen.
"What are you doing, mother?" Zhao Dahu asked.
Zhao Erhu followed up by saying, "Mom is eating secretly!"
"Nonsense, I just want to taste the saltiness and see what I can cook with it tomorrow morning." Lu His mouth was full of pork liver, and his speech was a little slurred.
"How does it taste, mom?"
"Not salty, not bland, it tastes just right." Ms. Lu replied.
"I don't believe it." Zhao Dahu tilted his head.
"I don't believe it either." Zhao Erhu agreed, "Unless mother lets us try it too."
Mr. Lu, "..."
A plate should be used as breakfast Most of the salted pork liver as a side dish ended up being a late-night snack for the mother and son. Only less than a quarter was left, which was sealed in a large porcelain basin to prevent it from being eaten by other living creatures.
Have a good night's sleep.
Xia Mingyue got up early, checked the condition of her face and hair, and made herself a simple breakfast.
Hand-pulled noodles in clear soup. Stir-fry the salted pork liver made yesterday in a pot. The flavor is rich, fresh and delicious.
Xia Mingyue was very satisfied with her meal.
After washing and tidying up, we bought meat, chopped meat stuffing, cut ingredients, stirred stuffing, kneaded dough, and made meatloaf...
With the help of Lu's mother and son, Xia Mingyue made fifty crispy and delicious meat patties quite easily today, and brought them to West Street for sale an hour earlier than yesterday.
Lu steadily exerted his selling ability and attracted some people to buy.
People who bought the meatloaf yesterday thought it tasted great and became repeat customers.
In just a short while, Xia Mingyue saw several familiar faces.
