The first peasant daughter of the green garden

Chapter 96 Exclusive secret recipe, braised pork trotters (4)
Sitting in front of Mrs. Lin, Li Caiwei tightly held Mrs. Lin's thin hand, "Mother, this is the first person in our village to pass the No. 1 exam in Jiasheng Township Examination. My family is very happy. If you can If you get up, I'll accompany you for a walk. This Liujia Village is actually pretty good, with beautiful scenery, and a lot of wild fruits on the mountain. The Hexi stream is bigger than our Hexi Village, the fields are wider than ours, and the lotus and fish ponds are also bigger than ours. Many, after I came here, I not only earned a lot of money, but also learned how to run a business with my elder sister. Although the business was only done once, I believe that when the vegetables in the vegetable field at home grow up, there will be more Vegetables are sold all over the country, and they will definitely earn a fortune by then."

This life is getting better, and she didn't have time to be filial to her father, so he left. This is a pity, and it is also one of the biggest regrets in her life.

Take a deep breath, "Mom, I can't accompany you in the morning, I have to go over there to help watch. I boiled some egg custard for you, and I will bring you some food at noon. You have a good rest." Carefully help Lin Shi covered the quilt, got up and stirred the duck eggs evenly, mixed them with water, put them into the pot, lit a fire in the stove, added a thick piece of wood, and made sure that the fire would not go out, then closed the door and went to Liu Zhai is there to help.When they arrived at Liu's house, the guests had already arrived one after another. Liu Jiasheng moved a table, took the gift book and carefully recorded the gift money and names given by the guests, and a few women assigned to receive the guests at the door. pour tea.She quickly walked to the backyard, and saw that the big wooden steamer (zeng) had been placed on the firewood stove, and the air was filled with a faint smell of rice.The pig's trotters were almost cleaned up, and they were all placed in the washbasin.I remember eating a delicious pork trotter, and I still can't forget it.So she had a new idea, and she was going to give it a try and let everyone try her new craft.

It is a tradition that the men in the village are in charge of cooking. Generally, women do not participate in the cooking at such a large banquet, and are only responsible for helping with easy tasks such as picking and washing vegetables.

Li Caiwei walked up to the village chief, "Village chief, I want to cook a dish specially for Jiasheng, which represents my heart, but I know the rules in the village, women don't cook, I don't know if the village chief can do it." Can't promise me?"

Liu Baoxiang looked extremely happy, "The family is a daughter-in-law, you are the one who organized this banquet, I definitely agree with you cooking, but what do you want to cook?"

Li Caiwei pointed to the pig's trotter in the village chief's hand, "I want to make a different kind of braised pig's trotter."

The village head nodded, "This braised pig's trotter is the most important dish in the dish. If it is not done well, the feast will be a half failure."

Li Caiwei refuted the village chief confidently, "Village chief, I will definitely make this dish well, but you have to cooperate with me by the side."

"Okay, I will cooperate with you if you need anything."

"I need one catty of dried chilies, two catties of peanuts, ten garlics, two pieces of cinnamon, five fennel, and a handful of garlic leaves."

When the fire reaches the maximum and the oil in the pot is hot, put the dried chili, peanuts, and garlic into the oil pan and stir-fry. When the aroma of chili and garlic are forced out, add two liters of water into it.Then put the pig’s trotters into the pot. Considering that there are too many pig’s trotters, it can only be done in two batches. Then add spices such as cinnamon and fennel, cover the pot and simmer for an hour and a half. The success of this dish is almost half.But the most critical part is not finished yet.

The village chief Liu Baoxiang watched from the side, never seeing this method of cooking meat.The traditional method is to cut the meat into tofu shape, then put it into the pot and fry it, put in the appropriate soy sauce, and then put in the garlic, and the pot can be ready.And this method not only allows the soup to fully penetrate into the meat, but also fat but not greasy.

Li Caiwei took out about two catties from the washed fresh red pepper, chopped the fresh red pepper into fine pieces, and then picked twenty garlic cloves, and crushed the garlic cloves.Put the chopped peppers and crushed garlic cloves into the oil pan and stir-fry until they are cooked through. Divide into twelve bowls.

The last process of this dish is also a crucial step of this dish.She hurried back to the house and opened a sealed clay jar. The wine had already been brewed. Just as the lid was opened, a fresh fragrance hit.This is the last time she went to the county to buy good grapes and make good wine. It has been a month or two, and the wine has fully formed.Scoop out a catty or so of wine from it and bottle it.

The village head was a little puzzled, what was the wine for?
Li Caiwei used the silver needle she got from Pei Shaoqing last time, and made a simple syringe, so that all the wine can be injected into the cooked pork trotters. After the aroma of the wine is completely absorbed by the pork, it can completely soak the whole meat. Inside, so that the meat can have both the aroma of meat and the aroma of grapes.After waiting for more than ten minutes, the pork trotters can be evenly cut off, put on a plate, and poured with the prepared red pepper sauce, this dish is truly complete.

The villagers have never seen this kind of cooking method. The village head helped to cut the injected ones and put them on a plate. The pork trotters had turned dark red, the meat was tender and the skin was thin, and the wine was fragrant. Everyone present could not stop commend.The fragrance of chili relieves the greasy meat, and various spices make the aroma of the meat more compelling.The brand-new braised trotters are better than the traditional braised trotters.

The village chief praised him again and again, and all the cooks next to him showed admiration.

"Jia Cheng's daughter-in-law, this dish of yours is absolutely perfect. I'm afraid that there is no better way to make this dish in this world."

Li Caiwei waved her hand, "Village Chief, I'm going to try it too. I don't want the effect to be so good, so I have to trouble you for other dishes."

"Okay, let's cook the rest of the dishes. Hurry up and do your work." After speaking, a familiar voice sounded at the door, "Mom, what kind of dish is this cooking? I'm drooling from the smell."

Mrs. Yu was picking vegetables in the yard, followed the sound and looked up, it turned out to be Liu Xinmei. "Xinmei is back." Mrs. Yu hurriedly got up, took the gift from Xinmei's hand, her eyes showed worry, "Xinmei, why are you here alone? How can a person with a child be so casual?"

Liu Xinmei glanced at her stomach happily, "Mother, the restaurant is busy these few days, I have to hurry over here for a long time, and I have to hurry back after eating."

Yu Shi got up and hurried over to support her, "It's rare for you to come back, why don't you stay at home for a few more days."

"Mom, no, the restaurant is busy, I have to rush back to help."

"No matter how busy you are, you have to take care of your body. You are the first child, so you have to pay attention, so that you don't suffer from any problems in the future."

"Mom, I see. I'll pay attention."

"When I go back in the afternoon, I'll ask Jiaxuan to see you off. It took so long for you to get pregnant with this belly. Don't let anything happen to you."

Liu Xinmei nodded, with a scent still lingering on the tip of her nose, "Mother, what kind of smell is it, I'm so hungry."
