Chapter 117 Crispy Pork Belly
“Yes.” Zhao Dahu agreed from the side, “It’s like we are used to eating the food cooked by Aunt Xia, and we really can’t eat the food cooked by our mother.”
"Yes, Dad."
Zhao Youcai, "..."
Who followed you and us?
He never said such a thing!
"You bastard!" Zhao Youcai saw that dark clouds were gathering on Lu's face, so he rushed to give Zhao Dahu a chestnut on the head, "What are you talking about!"
"I know I was wrong. ." Zhao Dahu covered his head. Bao begged for mercy, "In the future, even if it is the truth, I will keep it in my heart and not say it out loud."
Zhao Youcai, "!!!"
I just wanted to cover Zhao Dahu's mouth and say no more. Put it in a basin and rinse it.
Zhao Erhu helplessly raised his forehead and just advised, "Don't be angry, mother."
"Yes, don't be angry, mother. We will still eat the food cooked by mother." Zhao Dahu said.
Even if it’s not that delicious, you can still eat it because you are our mother.
I don’t think my mother’s rice tastes bad!
Lu family, "..."
Suddenly I felt a little tired...
Xia Mingyue was already busy in the kitchen.
First, the chicken that He Shunzi sent earlier was slaughtered and made into saliva chicken.
Add rice wine to boiling water, cook the whole chicken, drain it into cold water, and cut it into pieces of suitable size.
Chili noodles and Sichuan peppercorns are splashed with red oil by hot oil, mixed with salt, sugar, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, chopped peanuts, minced coriander, sesame seeds... and poured into the chicken in the porcelain basin Put the chicken pieces on top and wait for the chicken pieces to fully soak in the soup.
Fully marinate the pork belly pieces with onion, ginger, soy sauce, butter, cumin, chili powder, salt, peppercorns, etc., then add a little sweet potato starch and an egg, and put it into the pan while the oil is hot.
Fry until slightly brown, remove, wait until the oil temperature rises, and fry again until all the pork belly pieces are golden and crispy before taking them out of the pan.
Pork belly is already rich in aroma, and after being oiled, it adds a richer smell, and mixed with spices, it makes the whole kitchen even more fragrant and makes people salivate.
Xia Mingyue prepared a lot of things, and even fried half a basket of pork belly pieces. Before serving, she took a few and pierced them with bamboo skewers, and gave them to Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu who were helping to light the fire.
The two of them were already salivating. They quickly thanked Xia Mingyue and ate happily after taking it.
Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, salty and delicious, the meat is lean but not dry, the fat is not greasy, you will never get tired of eating it!
When they ate the first piece of crispy pork belly, the two of them realized that the taste was too wonderful, so they immediately controlled the speed of eating and slowly enjoyed the delicious food.
Seeing this, Xia Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled, "Just eat with confidence, the pork belly today is enough!"
She bought five or six kilograms of pork belly today, is she still afraid that it will not be enough?
But even though Xia Mingyue said this, Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu still looked at each other and maintained the eating speed just now.
Although there is enough meat, they still know how much food their stomachs can hold!
Xia Mingyue laughed dumbly and just let the two brothers do things according to their own ideas without any further persuasion. Then she skewered two skewers of crispy pork belly and gave them to the Zhou family and Song family respectively.
The two of them worked hard during this period, and in addition to the things in Xia's diary, many things in Xia Mingyue's life were also done smoothly.
Xia Mingyue was relieved and ignored them.
A large skewer of pork belly has a lot of meat. Whether you eat it by itself or take it back as a side dish, it is enough to complete the meal. Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Song thanked each other continuously and unanimously put away the pork belly for the time being, preparing to take it back to their families to eat together.
Xia Mingyue was busy cooking a few more vegetarian dishes.
The oil used to fry the pork belly adds a bit of meaty aroma, making the stir-fry more fragrant.
Green pepper scrambled eggs, Xia Mingyue habitually chooses a few green peppers with thin flesh, bought yesterday, slightly wrinkled green peppers, flattened and shredded, stir-fried and then topped with evenly stirred egg liquid .
By doing this, the green peppers can be completely mixed with the eggs. The green peppers taste like eggs, and the eggs are full of the fragrance of green peppers.
For mashed garlic eggplant, peel the large oval-shaped eggplants and steam them in a pot. Remove the water from the eggplants. Simply stir them with the mashed garlic. Just add salt to enhance the flavor. It is very delicious.
With two meats and two vegetables, I added a noon dish of peanuts that had been boiled and soaked with star anise, Sichuan peppercorns, etc. for an afternoon. At this time, the peanuts were completely flavored. They were just cut and sprinkled on a plate. Tomato salad with a little sugar.
After gathering together six dishes, Lu helped wrap some pot stickers with vegetarian fillings, and Xia Mingyue cooked fish head soup and some fish ball soup.
Dinner started with Zhao Youcai and Lu Qiyan clinking glasses.
Fen wine is full of aroma, the saliva chicken is tender and delicious, the crispy pork belly is fragrant and delicious...
Eat, drink, laugh, have fun in the world.
Here, after Mrs. Song finished everything, she returned home with pork belly.
Carefully remove the skewer of pork belly from the bamboo skewer and change it into smaller pieces with a knife.
When eating meat, because the taste of meat is really good, it is easier to eat one piece in one bite and cut into smaller pieces. If you can eat more bites, you will feel more satisfied.
After finishing the pork belly, Mrs. Song lit a fire in the stove, added water to cook some stick batter, and pasted some pancakes made of white flour and stick noodles on the edge of the pot.
Taking advantage of this free time, I picked some green beans on the shelf in the yard and waited until they were cooked. Then I mixed them with garlic juice.
When the stick batter in the pot was poured out, the pancakes slowly expanded, and the beans were also removed from the pot, a figure flashed into the yard.
The figure is tall, thin and young. It is Li Shuisheng, Song's brother-in-law.
"Sister-in-law." Li Shuisheng's face was full of joy and he handed the oil paper bag in his hand to Mrs. Song.
Ms. Song took it over and opened it. There was more than half of the roast chicken in the oil paper bag.
The skin of the roasted chicken is golden and the aroma is rich and very tempting.
“Where did it come from?” Ms. Song was delighted and surprised.
"Master Luo was recommended by the county magistrate and could take the exam in the autumn. The master and his wife were very happy and held a banquet at home to entertain the clan members. There was a lot of meat left on the table, so the steward gave us a portion. Score, take Go home and eat.”
Li Shuisheng works as a long-term worker in the Luo family. He usually does the work of sweeping, planting flowers, and moving. Because he is young, he is honest and willing to work hard, and he is in charge of his work. The impression is quite good, and I always take care of him secretly.
Half a roasted chicken with only one wing and one leg removed should be an excellent dish left on the wine table.
Mrs. Song smiled and narrowed her eyes, "Ms. Xia also gave me some fried pork belly today. I have cut it up. I will eat the pork belly first in the evening. I will save most of the roast chicken for you to eat tomorrow morning."
At the age of fifteen, he was quite tall, but his growth was like mung bean sprouts. Mrs. Song felt that Li Shuisheng needed to eat more good food.
"It's just what was left at noon. I'm afraid it will be spoiled if I leave it overnight." Li Shuisheng disagreed, "Let's eat it all in the evening."
