"I'm too lazy to care about you, I don't care anyway... You can do whatever you want, just think about tidying up the kitchen for me."
Lu Miao squinted and smiled, feeling very good:
"I know, you, just wait and eat it! Keep it for a while and praise it!"
As he spoke, Lu Miao turned around and continued to work.
Wash the butter, cut it into small pieces and put it into the pot under cold water. Add the green onions, ginger slices and a little rice wine.
After the water boils, blanch it for two to three minutes.
After that, remove the water and control the water. The subsequent steps are the same as boiling lard.
Put the pot over medium heat, pushing occasionally to heat the butter fat pieces evenly.
When the liquid fat is cooked out, you can turn down the heat and let it simmer slowly in the pot.
At this time, the butter no longer has as much flavor as it did at the beginning, but there is still some special flavor.
Fu Jingyou stood up from the stove:
“It tastes so good, can it be eaten?”
“It must be edible, why are you doing it if you can’t eat it?”
Lu Miaowan Lu Miao looked at him with an angry look, "Just wait."
Dool came out of his mouth. Lu Miao couldn't wait and was a little greedy for the mouthful.
Fu Jingyou rubbed the back of his neck, sat back on the stove and continued to light the fire.
While the pot was simmering over low heat, Lu Miao poured some boiling water to soak the dried chili peppers.
After soaking for about five or six minutes, I took out the peppers and controlled the water for a while, then cut them into pieces with a knife.
I have almost finished preparing the follow-up work. The butter residue in the pot is small in size and has become golden yellow and floating.
This means it’s OK.
Lu Miao took a bowl and took out the oil residue with a colander.
Put the newly sliced ginger, green onions, and a small piece of washed coriander into the pot, fry until golden brown and float, then take it out.
Continue to add the prepared bay leaves, star anise, cinnamon, grass fruit shells and other spices and fry over low heat until fragrant, then add the chopped chilies.
The minced chili contains water, so there will be resistance when you push it when you pour it in.
Fry slowly over low heat until the water is gone, and wait until the minced pepper becomes light when pushed.
You can then add minced ginger, red bean paste, peppercorns, etc. from the market and continue frying.
At this point, the base material has basically reached the final stage, and the strange smell of butter has long gone.
What was stimulated was another rich, spicy and tantalizing taste.
Fu Jingyou loves spicy food, so he couldn't help but dropped the tongs and stood beside Lu Miao to look at him carefully.
In the past, when I was cooking at night, I couldn’t see anything in the dark.
The sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly, and smoke is rising from Fu's chimney in the alley.
When the neighbors saw it, someone immediately shouted openly:
"Little Fu family, what are you doing this morning? You do it every three days, making people feel greedy. I lost two pounds because of hunger! ”
"What did you do? Children all love spicy food. Didn't you finally save some oil and fry some hot sauce for rice?"
"Hey, fried hot sauce, that's great It’s going to take some gas!”
"Haha, it's..."
Tang Mei was chatting with people in the courtyard.
In the kitchen, the young couple looked at each other and smiled.
Lu Miao curved her lips and said softly:
"I remember there is an enamel square fruit plate at home? Bring it over, I will scoop the oil in, wait for it to cool and cut into pieces. It can be stored in a lard jar for a long time.”
Fu Jingyou nodded and went to do it immediately.
The butter is boiled on the stove, which is very troublesome to make once.
Lu Miao didn't want to waste it, so she left as much as she wanted to eat in the pot for a while, and scooped the rest into the fruit plate.
The two knuckle-deep enamel fruit plates were filled to about 80% full with two or three kilograms of boiled butter.
Carefully move the fruit plate to the center of the large kitchen table and let it cool.
Lu Miao poured some water into the pot, took out the seasonings while the water was boiling, and called Tang Mei and Fu Jingyou over to eat.
Fu Jingyou has a strong receptivity, and he will do whatever she says.
Tang Mei can’t do it.
Tang Mei felt that it was unsightly and disgraceful to fish around in the pot, and she refused to come.
Lu Miao wrapped some beef slices in egg liquid, rinsed them, and served them to her. Later generations ate hot pot. This dish was called egg-slippery beef, and the eggs used were sterile eggs.
Lu Miao uses ordinary eggs here, the ones laid by two chickens in his yard.
The purpose of coating in egg liquid is to ensure the tenderness of the beef.
No way, beef slices and beef rolls are different after all.
The knife skills of several people in the family are limited, and if we don’t take care of it, the taste will be really bad.
Lu Miao ate two slices of beef, took out a few pieces of tender yellow cabbage and put them into the pot to blanch them.
Take it out before it becomes soft and eat it fresh and crispy.
Fu Jingyou moved a small table and sat down to eat with her.
Seeing that she was eating happily, Fu Jingyou asked with a smile:
“Is it delicious?”
Lu Miao nodded seriously and asked:
"What do you think?"
"I think it's delicious too."
Fu Jingyou showed off the meat with a big mouthful of sauce.
Cilantro and mutton were things he didn’t really like to eat before.
This time, after rolling it in the spicy oil pan, he suddenly made a new discovery.
The taste is really not ordinary and unique...
"It smelled so strong when I bought it back. Who would have thought it would be so fragrant when made?"
"What is it?"
“I said butter.”
Lu Miao said "Oh" and nodded clearly:
"A lot of things are delicious, it just depends on how you cook them."
Fu Jingyou nodded his chin, fully agreeing with this statement.
In the past, there were eels and soft-shell turtles, but now there is butter, and many of them are things that no one eats.
His wife will take care of it.
Every time I make it, it tastes delicious and delicious.
Lu Miao ate the tender cabbage hearts, and Fu Jingyou rinsed the large cabbage leaves that she didn’t like and ate them.
The two of them pursed their lips, and their lips were red from the heat.
Lu Miao was eating the spicy food to appetize, and Fu Jingyou was enjoying it.
Two of us had butter hot pot for the first time in a long time.
Another was the first ever attempt.
Although eating on the stove was not a bit fun, it was quite enjoyable.
Lu Miao, in particular, was sweating all over.
I didn’t have a good appetite a while ago, and I didn’t eat much at every meal.
This hot pot meal rarely made her feel full, even a little stuffed.
There is something in my stomach, and my spirit and mood are much better.
A few adults finished eating and cleaned up the stove.
Hurrying for lunch, Lu Miao ran back and forth, tinkering.
I fished out some rice separately, cut potatoes and diced beef to make a nutritious baby meal for the children.
The three little ones had greasy mouths and ate without raising their heads.
Lu Miao laughed when he saw it, turned his head and said to Fu Jingyou:
"The quality of the beef I bought is very good. I will catch up with good ones in the future. You can buy some back often. It is good for the development of the children's muscles and bones." ”
“Okay.”
Fu Jingyou nodded.
Lu Miao smiled, sat on the side of the table and touched Shi An's little head:
"Is Shi An still used to being in Yuhong class? What does the teacher usually teach?"
Being busy before, Lu Miao didn't pay much attention to Shi An's situation after school.
With this rare free time, Lu Miao couldn't help but ask a few more questions:
"Are there any other children bullying our baby Shi An?" (End of this chapter)
