Chapter 29 Pork
I thought the girl was going to buy a catty or two of pork to bring back to improve the food, but I didn’t expect to buy a lot of it, if it’s all half-fat pork belly, it’s all right, why buy pig offal and pig heads that no one eats? stuff?
"Don't worry, I have my own plan, do you have enough money?"

"Don't worry, girl, I brought 100 taels today, it's enough." Although Anise didn't understand, the girl made up her mind, and she couldn't refute anymore.

It didn't take long for Fennel to buy everything back, and even with a big basket full of meat, he could barely move.It was Du Yong who saw it, and hurried forward to pick it up and put it on the shaft of the car.

"Girl, I bought ten catties of pork belly, five catties of big bones, a pair of pig intestines, and half a pig's head."

Xiao Jinyue nodded in satisfaction, "Very good, I'll give you a delicious reward when I return home."

Fennel muttered in a low voice, "Girl, I don't like pig intestines, and I don't like pig head meat either. I only need pork belly and big bone broth."

Xiao Jinyue teased her, "Really don't want pig intestines and pork head meat? The ones I made are so delicious that you want to swallow them with your tongue. Don't regret it then."

Fennel shook her head firmly. Although she didn't like pork head meat, she could barely accept it.The pig's large intestine was so smelly, she couldn't swallow it.

Seeing her shaking her head, Xiao Jinyue didn't tease her any more, and only told Du Yong to drive to a pharmacy.

Both of them thought she was going to the pharmacy to buy medicine, but Xiao Jinyue was actually going to buy the ingredients needed to make lo-mei.

I thought that I could find all the marinade ingredients I needed at any pharmacy, but unexpectedly there were not many types in the pharmacy, so I finally found a spice shop, and only then did I buy everything.

Unfortunately, no peppers were found.

After asking Fennel and Du Yong, they didn't know what chili was, and there were no pharmacies or spice shops. Only then did Xiao Jinyue know that the Mingkang Dynasty didn't even have chili.

Xiao Jinyue was not disappointed, this was another business opportunity for her, just think about it, when she found chili seeds and planted chili peppers, countless money would flow into her bowl.

The next second, she smiled wryly in her heart, she was really dazed, the first thing she thought of was making money when she came across something now, she almost forgot that her old profession was a doctor who saved lives and healed the wounded.

Back home, as expected, as soon as her mother saw her, she immediately pulled her and started nagging.

Xiao Jinyue knew that she cared about herself, but she didn't dare to resist, she sat obediently by the side with a cup of tea and listened.

Not wanting her mother to become more and more addicted to her nagging, Xiao Jinyue saw her chanting as if she was chanting sutras for a cup of tea, not only did not stop, but also became more and more vigorous in chanting, and quietly reached out and rubbed her ears.

Unexpectedly, her mother suddenly looked over and saw her rubbing her ears, she immediately laughed angrily.

Xiao Jinyue put down her hands in embarrassment, picked up the tea cup and passed it over, and said with a smile, "Mother, you are tired, drink some tea to moisten your throat."

Xue stared at her with hatred, and reached out to take the teacup.

Seeing that she wasn't talking, Xiao Jinyue took the opportunity to say, "Mother, I bought a lot of meat today, and I'll go to the kitchen to see if it's packed. Mother has been tired all day, so I'll make you some soup, and dad will be on duty. It's been a hard day, so I'll make him a snack."

Mrs. Xue knew that it was too late, so she stopped talking about her, and waved her hands weakly, "I know you are filial, but you have to be more careful when cooking, so as not to be scalded by the oily smoke, just stand aside and instruct the cook."

Xiao Jinyue nodded obediently, "Okay, I will listen to mother."

After stepping out of the flower hall, Xiao Jinyue finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her mother's chanting skills really became more and more terrifying.

Although she cared about her, but she kept chanting non-stop like chanting scriptures, and she also had a headache.

After returning home, Xiao Jinyue asked Fennel to take the bought meat directly to the kitchen.

When I got to the kitchen, I saw that the preparatory work had been done by the cook.

Half of the pig's head was cleaned, and the hair on it was shaved off. Xiao Jinyue was going to cook a stewed pig's head for his father as a side dish.

First instruct the cook to put the pig's head in the pot with cold water, and use ginger and white wine to make the water. Since there is no cooking wine, he can only use the wine his father drank.

After soaking the water, wash it clean, and then use the sucrose you bought to fry the sugar color.

After Xiao Jinyue took out the brine ingredients she bought and cleaned them, in front of the cook, she personally taught her to identify the various brine ingredients, and after she memorized them, she would mix them according to their weight.

The fried sugar color is added to the pot with boiling water, soy sauce, salt, white wine, ginger, and the prepared marinade, and the marinade starts to cook.

The pork head is stewed for more than half an hour, and then the pig large intestine is ready to be processed.

Although the large intestine of the pig is also washed, it is only washed with water, so it is naturally not clean.

Xiao Jinyue instructed the cook to use cornstarch and salt to rub it together like rubbing clothes, and then wash off the impurities with clean water.

Of course, rubbing it once is not enough. For the second time, use cornstarch, salt, and vinegar to rub it together, and then rinse it off.

After the outside is cleaned, turn the pig's large intestine over, rub and clean it again in the same way as the above steps, until the strange smell is gone, it is considered to be cleaned.

Pig intestines are naturally delicious when they are stir-fried. Unfortunately, there is no chili in this era, so Xiao Jinyue had to use a kind of fragrant sauce made by some cooks to stir-fry.

Pork belly is naturally used to make Dongpo pork, and big bone is used to stew soup.

Not long after, mouth-watering aromas began to waft from the kitchen, and the maid of Fennel ran over following the aroma, and guarded in front of the stove with her stomach in her arms, unwilling to leave for even half a step.

The people in the kitchen couldn't help swallowing their saliva quietly while they were busy. The smell was really overbearing.

Xiao Jinyue sniffled suddenly, and she actually smelled a foul smell from the fragrance.

She scanned the crowd, but saw that everyone was intoxicated.

Didn't they hear it?

Xiao Jinyue sniffed again, yes, there is indeed a foul smell mixed in the fragrance.

However, it shouldn't.

She went through all the recipes from beginning to end, cleaned every ingredient, and the recipes and steps were correct.

Although the marinade and ingredients are not as complete as the ones she used in modern times, they shouldn't be smelly.

Smelling the increasingly strong fishy smell, Xiao Jinyue couldn't hold back, and stepped forward to lift the lid of the stewed pig's head meat pot.

Unexpectedly, when the lid of the pot was opened, the fishy and foul smell became stronger, and even so many marinade ingredients could not cover it up.

In addition to the pork head meat, Xiao Jinyue also checked Dongpo pork, pig intestines and big bone soup, all of which had a fishy smell.

Fennel looked at her movements suspiciously, "Girl, what are you looking at? Tonight's meat is so delicious, I think I can swallow two cows now."

"Don't you smell that these meats have a foul smell?"

Fennel waved his hand casually, and said nonchalantly, "What's the matter, boar meat has a foul smell, but that smell is nothing, it's much more fragrant than the usual cooked meat."

Xiao Jinyue was puzzled, boar pork had a foul smell, why didn't she know?
Such a strong smell, this girl didn't care at all, it really made her not know what to say.
