Chapter 226 Five-Spice Sausage
Seeing that the small intestines had been washed very clean and looked crystal clear when placed in the wooden basin, Xia Mingyue soaked them in water and turned to processing the pork.
Fresh pork leg meat, fat and lean, cut into small pieces and then minced with a knife. Use sweet potato gravy, eggs, chopped green onions, minced ginger, rice wine, pepper, etc. Mix well, stirring continuously in one direction.
In order to ensure that the meat filling is tender and juicy, Xia Mingyue added some delicious and mellow pork bone soup to it.
After the meat filling was mixed, Xia Mingyue picked up one of the pig intestines, tied the end with a thin hemp rope, and took out a sharp tool for filling sausages - an improved bamboo canner.
Take a long bamboo tube, hollow out both ends, and split it in the middle. After completely filling the bamboo tube with the meat filling, tie the two bamboo tubes with hemp rope. Use a small piece of bamboo as a piston to The meat stuffing squeezes easily into the casing.
As the meat stuffing was squeezed in, the originally dry small intestine suddenly bulged. After a section of small intestine was filled with enough meat stuffing, Xia Mingyue tied the long meat sausage with a hemp rope. Bundle them into sections, and then use bamboo skewers to poke enough ventilation holes on the head of the stuffed meat sausage, so that the fruit can be taken to a cool place to dry.
It takes three or four hours to dry to allow the meat filling to fully shrink. When steamed or fried, the texture will be firmer and the taste will be more delicious.
Filling sausages is a skillful and laborious job, and Xia Mingyue found a lot of pig intestines this time, so it took a group of people a full half-day to complete.
In order to reward everyone and let everyone taste the meat sausage first, Xia Mingyue asked Jiang Zhuguo to cook a bunch first.
"Be sure to cook on low heat when cooking, otherwise the sausage will crack easily. Just cook it for a quarter of an hour. Remember not to cook it for too long." Xia Mingyue warned.
“I’ve written it down.” Jiang Zhuguo entered the kitchen with the sausage.
Xia Mingyue took the pig pancreas and washed her hands.
Before the water drops in my hands were dry, someone came to the house.
Wu Xiong and Shopkeeper Ge of Sifang Casino.
After the incident at Yueran Restaurant, Xia Mingyue, in order to express her gratitude to Wu Xiong, sent Wu Xiong braised meat and vegetables several times, and met with shopkeeper Ge once.
At this time, I saw shopkeeper Ge coming to the door. He rushed to the main room and made a pot of good tea.
“I wonder what happened to Shopkeeper Ge and Brother Wu coming here?” Xia Mingyue asked politely.
"I came to see Madam Xia today. Firstly, I want to thank Madam Xia for the braised pork she sent to Sifang Casino two days ago. It tastes very good." Shopkeeper Ge said with a smile, "Secondly, I want to talk to you. Madam Xia is here to discuss a business.”
Business?
Xia Mingyue blinked, "Shopkeeper Ge wants to open a braised meat shop on Dongda Street?"
First he talked about braised pork, and then he talked about business. He was probably thinking of opening it here on Dongda Street. Last braised meat shop.
After all, most of the business in Sifang Gambling House is at night, when many people are hungry, and whether they are losers or winners, they often take a few sips of wine as a pre-drink. For food, braised food would be a very suitable choice.
The Sifang Gambling House supports many people, and the internal demand for meat is also quite large on weekdays.
Furthermore, the braised meat shop opened by Shopkeeper Qian and his wife has now become famous. Many people from other urban areas go to great lengths to come here to buy. Among these people, the number of people from Dongcheng District is the smallest.
It's not that the people in Dongcheng District have picky tastes and think Xia Ji Braised Meat is not good, but that the food sold here on West Street seems a little off-brand.
If we can open another one on East Street, I think the business will be good.
Shopkeeper Ge is also good at doing business!
While Xia Mingyue was thinking, Shopkeeper Ge took a sip of tea, then smiled and said, "I don't want to open a braised food shop."
Don't want to open a braised food shop? Xia Mingyue was a little surprised and was immediately startled, "The business that Shopkeeper Ge mentioned..."
What exactly is it?
“I want to open a restaurant in partnership with Madam Xia.” Shopkeeper Ge smiled, “A restaurant with better business than Yueran Restaurant.”
Open a restaurant?
Xia Mingyue was stunned at first, and then the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.
After the incident at Yueran Restaurant, Xia Mingyue wanted to open one and completely challenge Yueran Restaurant, but her wallet was not big enough, so she decided to save some more money or see if she could find a suitable partner. .
Now...
Isn’t the partner coming soon?
And it’s high quality.
Having money, background, and recognition of her, the two parties have a certain degree of friendship.
Xia Mingyue pursed her lips and replied with a smile, "Okay."
Seeing Xia Mingyue's willingness to agree, shopkeeper Ge also let out a breath, feeling much more relaxed, and offered his own terms, " I've pretty much seen the place, it's at Yueran Restaurant Diagonally across the street, we bought all the shops over there and demolished them all to build a four-story restaurant.” Don’t worry about daily chores, I will find the best solution A good restaurant manager looks for the most clever and capable waiter. As for Madam Xia, she only needs to concentrate on developing the menu and cooking. "
"As for the remuneration for Madam Xia...in addition to every month. In addition to the wages paid to Madam Xia, we can "28% off, how about it?"
"Besides, if the restaurant makes a profit, I will still share the 28% dividend with Madam Xia. If it loses money, Madam Xia will not care about it. I, Sifang Gambling House, will do my best. Just bear it.”
"Of course, Madam Xia needs to make excellent kitchen and dishes. Otherwise, I can terminate the cooperation with Madam Xia at any time. And before opening the restaurant, I want to have a taste of Madam Xia's craftsmanship."
To make sure that Xia Mingyue really has this level.
After Xia Mingyue heard this, she narrowed her eyes slightly.
In other words, she looks like a partner, but in fact she is a very pure profit-maker, with no harm at all.
As long as she can take care of the kitchen properly, cook dishes that are novel enough, and actively promote the restaurant to make money.
"Deal." Xia Mingyue did not hesitate about the matter, and added, "In three days, shopkeeper Ge will be invited to come and taste the food."
"Ms. Xia is a cheerful person!" Shopkeeper Ge couldn't help stroking her palms.
Jiu Jiu has been doing business outside for many years, and he manages businesses such as gambling houses. Shopkeeper Ge usually doesn't like to be too sophisticated, and prefers people who are frank and quick-witted.
Now that Xia Mingyue is a woman, she is a bit more sassy and decisive than ordinary business owners, which is really admirable.
“Shopkeeper Ge is kind, and I naturally need to be the same.” Xia Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled, “Shopkeeper Ge and Brother Wu came just in time today. I just made some sausages, and you guys also want to try them. After tasting it, if it tastes good, I will give more to Shopkeeper Ge and Brother Wu as a token of my sincerity for this cooperative business.”
Regarding timing, some people say that a quarter of an hour is half an hour, but most of the information the author has checked, a quarter of an hour is fifteen minutes, and a stick of incense is about half an hour. This should prevail
