Chapter 197 Pig Skin Jelly
After muttering for a while, the two people immediately took some out of their pocket money and went directly to the street to buy another chicken.
The two of them even took matters into their own hands, slaughtering and removing the hair, washing and placing it in front of Xia Mingyue, and discussed with her whether they could make chicken pot again in the evening and eat it with noodles.
Seeing that the two of them recognized the chicken pot so much, Xia Mingyue did not refuse and asked Jiang Zhuguo to make noodles while she made another big pot.
Considering that it was going to be served with noodles in the evening, Xia Mingyue did not add lotus root slices or yuba this time, but instead added fungus, radish slices and fresh spinach, adding more during the stew. Add some bone broth, so that it tastes more soupy and meaty, and the taste is more comfortable.
The noodles made with Jiangzhuguo are smooth and chewy, and after being soaked in the chicken soup, they become more fragrant and mellow in taste.
In short, the chicken pot with noodles was extremely delicious and made everyone feel full again.
After dinner, the braised food discussed with shopkeeper Qian and Liu will be cooked together. This time Xia Mingyue also made an extra small casserole of crispy fish.
Crispy fish is durable in storage, can be eaten on the go, and can be enjoyed with wine and rice. It is cheap and is very suitable for sale with braised food.
On the second day, shopkeeper Qian and his wife received the stewed meat from the central kitchen. After having the experience of selling yesterday, they still use the method of tasting and shouting to attract customers today.
With the Xia Kee signboard there, and you can try the food to ensure the taste, there are a lot more people at the braised food stall today than yesterday, and the business is booming.
Shopkeeper Qian and Mrs. Liu did not dare to be complacent or proud, so they still calmed down and did business in a down-to-earth manner to ensure that there would be no additional mistakes.
The trial sales of braised food are proceeding in an orderly manner, and Xia Mingyue begins to put more effort into the braised food category.
Braised pork liver has a tender texture and mellow taste. It is one of the few offal dishes that is widely accepted at this time. It is cheap to purchase, large in quantity and easy to sell, so it must be arranged.
Braised pig head meat, because the meat on the pig head has a chewy texture, without the greasiness of fat meat, and the meat is fresh and tender, it is an extremely suitable dish for drinking and is very popular. It is also a common thing in braised food and must be included. .
In addition, Xia Mingyue tried to cook some pig skin jelly.
Wash the fresh pig skin and scrape off the fat and excess oil on the skin. Boil it in water for a while until chopsticks can be inserted easily and then take it out.
Put in cold water, scrape the fat again, rub it with a little coarse salt to remove impurities and fat on the pig skin, and then cut it into thin shreds of pork skin, half the length of a finger.
Put the shredded pork skin into a pot, add water, rice wine, star anise, and ginger slices, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat for a full hour, take out the star anise and ginger slices, and cut the meat skin Pour the silken soup into a clean, water-free and oil-free porcelain basin.
Cover the porcelain basin with a bamboo basket, and let the shredded pork skin soup cool completely in the yard for one night. Stir once during this period to ensure that the shredded pork skin can be evenly distributed in the soup instead of sinking into the basin. end.
When you wake up the next morning, the pig skin jelly is completed.
The porcelain basin is turned upside down on the chopping board, and a complete round pig skin jelly is completely released from the mold. The whole is crystal clear, and the strands of pork skin inside are visible.
Cut it into one-inch long, half-inch wide, chopstick-thick slices, add some salt, vinegar, garlic juice and some sesame oil, and you can eat it directly.
If you like it spicy, you can mix it with chili red oil.
No matter which sauce is used, the pork skin jelly tastes smooth in the mouth and has the chewy texture of the pig skin. The completely processed pig skin has no fishy smell and is unique to pig skin. The fragrance after cooking.
The pork skin jelly is not greasy or greasy, and its refreshing and cold taste is unique and very appetizing on such a dry winter day.
The plate of pig skin jelly that Xia Mingyue brought out quickly went down everyone's stomach, and received the utmost affirmation and appreciation from everyone.
Xia Mingyue immediately decided to cook some more and asked shopkeeper Qian and his wife to start selling them tomorrow. In the afternoon, He Shunzi came.
Coming to deliver bamboo sticks, he also brought the wine koji that Xia Mingyue asked him for before, as well as two big white geese.
The white goose is quite fat, and even its feathers look shiny and slippery.
“When the meat of the big white goose raised at home is even fatter and tender, Mrs. Xia can stew the goose meat or make goose soup, just look at it.” He Shunzi said with a smile.
"Thank you, Brother He." Xia Mingyue saw that the wine koji was also dried in the sun and had good texture. I also put some skin jelly on it.
"Brother He will take some back home to eat himself, and some will be sent to Dexinyuan. I plan to ask shopkeeper Qian to help sell braised food during this period. It is approaching the end of the year and the village will have to buy braised food. Those who eat can help push it."
"Yes." He Shunzi agreed, and he no longer refused the food Xia Mingyue gave him, and carefully placed all the food on the bullock cart.
After sending He Shunzi away, Xia Mingyue placed the two white geese.
Usually all living things in the home are entrusted to Wujin’s care, and this time is no exception.
But Wu Jin had already run up to him with great foresight, and wanted to drive the two white geese to the corner as usual so that they could stay well.
It’s just that after seeing Wu Jin, the two white geese were not as timid and fearful as chickens and ducks. Instead, they raised their heads high, spread their wings, and stretched their necks to peck. Wujin.
Seeing this, Wu Jin hurriedly dodged to the side, then leaned down and let out a low moan.
Here comes the hard fight!
I need to show you what it means to be powerful, so that you can know who has the final say in this family!
Wu Jin's whole body was covered with feathers. Not to be outdone, the two white geese stretched out their necks to attack.
“Woof!”
“Goose!”
All of a sudden, the corner of the courtyard became very lively, and even because the battle was too fierce, bursts of dust rose up, which shocked Xia Mingyue and others. They even considered whether to leave some in the courtyard in order to avoid being affected. The work of selecting and washing vegetables is also moved into the kitchen.
After a dog and two geese fought for a whole meal, Wu Jin completely subdued the big white goose with the advantage of being able to step on the goose's neck with his claws.
At this time, there were still a few snow-white goose feathers floating on Wu Jin's forehead and body...
Obviously, the price of victory was very painful.
But luckily we won in the end!
Wu Jin barked "woof woof woof" at Xia Mingyue several times, obviously claiming credit.
Xia Mingyue did not expect such a fierce war to break out, but because Wu Jin could tame all poultry and take care of all the living animals in the house in an orderly manner, she made Wu Jin a separate afternoon tea. .
A bowl of fresh and tender steamed egg custard.
