"Isn't this set cheap?"
Lin Xu picked up two oversized black plastic bags and walked into the store with Lao Huang.
"It's not expensive. Someone made a reservation but didn't pick it up. The slaughterhouse gave it to me half-sold and half-free. Unfortunately, the donkey skin had already been taken away and made into glue, otherwise the donkey skin could be used for cooking."
Donkey skin tastes smooth, tough, fresh and refreshing, but generally no one eats it because donkey skin is rich in collagen, which is good for skin care and beauty, and is the main raw material for making donkey hide gelatin.
A piece of donkey skin is only worth a few hundred yuan for cooking, but if sold to an donkey hide gelatin enterprise, it will cost at least a thousand yuan.
Slaughterhouses that slaughtered donkey meat used to sell their skins directly.
In recent years, the donkey-hide gelatin market has been mixed, with many shoddy and low-quality donkey-hide gelatins flooding the market. Therefore, some people buy donkey hides and cook them themselves, or commission processing workshops to make them.
Although boiling donkey-hide gelatin sounds fancy, it actually involves removing the hair from donkey skin, cleaning it, and boiling it with some nourishing medicinal materials and brown sugar.
All boiled down into lakes, then cooled and solidified, and then divided into small pieces.
To put it bluntly, donkey hide gelatin is sugar made from donkey skin. As long as it is done properly, it is basically not unpleasant to eat.
Arriving upstairs, Lin Xu ordered the car driver:
"Bring over the big basin for washing intestines. A big project is coming."
It is very troublesome to clean up donkey waste. The digestive organs such as the large intestine, small intestine, and donkey belly need to be cleaned repeatedly. The donkey head and donkey hooves need to be carefully and tediously burned, the donkey liver needs to be soaked, and the donkey lungs need to be filled with water. As for the donkey,
Suet also needs to be soaked and boiled in oil.
Even if you are a chef in a restaurant with a lot of people and power, it will still be difficult to cook.
Fortunately, the working atmosphere in Lin Ji's kitchen is good. Although he had just finished his work, when he saw Lin Xu and Lao Huang bringing the donkey to the water, he immediately came over to help.
First, take out the donkey's head, donkey's hooves, and donkey's tail, put them on the workbench specially designed for burning pig hair, and turn on the large hood above their heads. Zhu Yong and Qin Wei picked up the hand-held spray guns and started burning pig hair.
This is a process that tests your patience, because donkey hair is relatively thick, and it may not be enough to burn it once. It needs to be burnt twice. As for the ear area of the donkey, you must pay attention to the temperature when burning it, so as not to burn it in the lake.
Zhuang Yizhou took out the donkey fat from the bag, washed it under the faucet, then cut it into pieces, prepared to blanch the fat to remove impurities, and then began to boil the donkey fat.
Donkey fat is not a common edible fat, but it is very useful.
As long as you make donkey meat dishes, no matter what kind of meat, you can
The driver took a big basin and poured all the intestines and donkey belly into it.
The intestines and tripe have been turned over, but that is just a simple rinse to clean out the dirt inside. If you really want there to be no odor, you have to wash it repeatedly and carefully.
Eating donkey is a tradition in North China. In Hebei, Shandong, northern Central Plains and other places, various ways of eating donkey meat are very common.
Donkey meat roasted on fire, donkey meat stewed cakes, donkey meat fresh soup, donkey meat steamed dumplings, donkey meat buns, sauced donkey meat, sauced sausages, and even the highest standard whole donkey banquet for guests, everything is available.
It is said that the custom of eating donkeys originated from the past when the Cao and Salt Gangs fought for territory and slaughtered each other's donkeys responsible for transporting goods, hence this custom.
Che Zi washed the donkey's intestines, then took out the large intestine and put it into a smaller basin, added salt and scrubbed it.
He said while busy:
"There is a habit of eating donkey meat in my hometown. When cleaning the intestines, I will use a bamboo knife to scrape off all the mucus on the surface of the intestines. It is said that it is cleaner than washing."
Wei Gan, like Che Zai, is from Shandong. He said:
"We were like that in my hometown, clean-shaven and relieved... At that time, the donkey-killer said that I had a tough life and wanted to take me in as his godson, but my grandfather didn't agree, saying that the donkey-killer wanted me to kill him for him. Evil, impure motives."
Since ancient times, there has been a folk saying that pig butchers carry the sins of killing and make a list of them when they arrive in the underworld. Therefore, these butchers like to recognize their sons and offset the sins of killing with the idea of having more children and more blessings.
Some chefs like to recognize their godson as their godson, and they also consider this aspect.
There is no need to think about this now. In modern slaughterhouses, everything is automated and there is no need for butchers to bear this kind of psychological pressure.
Lin Xu said:
"Using bamboo slices or knives to scrape and wash is an ancient custom. The reason is that the salt, flour, starch and other things used to clean the intestines in the past were very expensive, and people were reluctant to use them to wash dirty things like internal organs, so they used scrapers. Method...I heard that in the past, people used sand to wash their intestines, but they were reluctant to use salt and flour."
As soon as Che Zi put salt in and started scrubbing, the basin became turbid and there was a lot of mucus on the intestines. He rubbed it once, washed it once with water, and then started washing it a second time with flour.
Ingredients such as washing intestines generally follow the process of "salt once, noodles twice, and vegetable oil in the pot three times".
The first time, use salt to wash away most of the mucus. The second time, use flour to stick down the deep folds and remaining mucus. The third time, use rapeseed oil, which can not only clean away the remaining dirt, but also absorb odors. Come down.
After three times, the intestines will basically be washed. If you don’t worry, wash them with flour, then use corn starch to scratch and wash them once, and wash them four times.
Today's donkey intestines came in a complete set. Lin Xu was worried that there would be too many pieces to clean, so he asked the driver to wash them four times to thoroughly clean them. There is no need to retain some of the smell like the nine-turn large intestines.
While Che Zai was washing the large intestine, Qi Siliang started washing the small intestine, while Ma Zhiqiang picked up the donkey belly and started cleaning it.
Although Lin Xu didn't take action, he wasn't idle either.
He started to make stewed donkey meat soup. Such a good donkey meat would be in vain if the stewed soup was not good.
When making donkey meat, restaurants that are more particular about it usually use old soup. Donkey meat in old soup tastes more fragrant and has more flavor, but the store has never cooked donkey meat and there is no old soup.
Therefore, we can only make the soup as strong as possible, and then add some boiled donkey fat to cook it to make the soup more fragrant and mellow.
After mixing the stewed soup, Zhuang Yizhou also boiled out the suet.
Lin Xu added a large bowl of donkey fat to the stewed soup and simmered it over high heat until the stewed soup and fat were mixed together.
After finishing these tasks, he walked out of the kitchen and planned to drink some water.
Shen Jiayue was playing with her mobile phone while she was free. When she saw Lin Xu coming out, she asked:
"Xubao, do you still have time to shoot egg yolk tofu today? If you don't have time, I will shoot it with my mother tonight."
"Let's talk about it later. The shooting is simple and can be done in about ten minutes."
He poured himself a cup of tea, drank it in one gulp, and then said:
"My father-in-law has been wanting to eat donkey intestines a few days ago. Now you can tell him and let him prepare for a big meal."
Shen Jiayue waved her cell phone in front of Lin Xu:
"As I said, he transferred tens of thousands of yuan in hard-earned money to me, and asked me to help him make up a reason to drink two more drinks. I'm thinking about whether to report it to my mother."
"There's no need to report it. Donkey intestines are not common. Just eat some... You can cook them over fire later and eat them with the donkey intestines."
Donkey sausage is said to be an ingredient with a vulgar name but extremely delicious taste.
Many people say that donkey sausage is the ceiling of the sewage industry. In sewage, there is almost no food that tastes better than donkey sausage.
When he was in college, Lin Xu often went to a donkey meat barbecue shop near the school to eat donkey meat. At first, he ate it with donkey meat. Later, the boss added some donkey intestines. The soft texture made Lin Xu instantly
I like it.
From then on, every time he ate donkey meat on fire, he would ask the boss to put some donkey intestines in it.
"Xubao, why is it called Donkey Banchang? What does the word Banchang mean?"
"This is just a name. The large intestine of a donkey is very wide. When it is stewed and placed on a eucalyptus board, it looks like a wooden board, so it is called "bangut"...Similarly, there is suet, which is one of the tendons of the board.
They all literally describe something big and appetizing."
While the young couple was chatting at the door of the kitchen, a black Panamera slowly drove into the door from the Ginkgo Garden.
After coming out of the CCTV building, Chen Yan and Zeng Xiaoqi, as well as Xiao Wei and Xiao Sui, who were reviewing the shooting plan, drove all the way to the Ginkgo Garden to see the new animals that arrived today.
Xiao Wei is very interested in the little white horse with a bun:
"It looks so cute, it completely fits the setting of the two-dimensional white horse, and this bun, it looks a bit bohemian. If this were a living person, he would be a real scumbag!"
Seeing her chattering non-stop, Xiaosui couldn't help but remind her:
"I've never seen him before, but it's not good to just call him a scumbag... It's okay to be a nymphomaniac to people, but you can do the same to a horse. Xiao Wei, please find a boyfriend quickly, don't hold yourself back.
."
Xiao Wei said proudly:
"I already have a boyfriend, and there's a whole wardrobe of them."
The other three people in the car immediately turned their faces, their eyes filled with the burning fire of gossip.
As their little boss, Zeng Xiaoqi coughed lightly and said:
"Xiao Wei, please... pay attention to your hygiene. Those things may not be made of good materials."
Mr. Chen, who was driving, also gave a subtle reminder:
"Be careful not to leak electricity... Although there are many boys and girls in Communication University, you still have to find a partner, don't be the old one... just entertain yourself."
Xiaosui had a partner and her relationship was stable. When she saw the two eldest sisters talking loudly, she followed the trend and said:
"Yes, Xiao Wei, you are young, don't be obsessed with that..."
Xiao Wei looked at the three of them blankly and couldn't help but yell about filial piety:
"I...I'm talking about the two-dimensional paper man! Hey! What are you thinking? Buy it! Your thoughts are too pure, aren't you? Mr. Chen, I want to get off the car, I want to go to the kindergarten!"
Chen Yan laughed twice and said to Zeng Xiaoqi sitting in the passenger seat:
"It's all your fault, you're blindly thinking."
"Go, go, go, you are the one who started the mess...but does a two-dimensional boyfriend count? Find a boyfriend quickly, Xiao Wei, while your baby fat is still there, you don't know how many boys like baby fat now
Girls."
Just when Xiao Wei was about to express her refusal, she saw Dundun sneaking around not far away, and immediately lowered the car window and waved outside:
"Dundun baby, I am your Aunt Weiwei, do you still remember me?"
Dundun just came over from the peacock nest. After observing it, he found that these peacocks were very similar to the big roosters that had bullied him, so he wanted to take revenge.
However, these peacocks were all huddled together to rest after eating and drinking, completely ignoring the little fat cat outside.
Since the attempt to take revenge on the peacock failed, the little guy thought of the little pony.
Hum hum, I've been putting up with you for a long time with those short legs of Bai Dudu!
Before it arrived at the little pony's stable, it met Chen Yan and the others. The four of them parked the car on the side of the road, pushed the door and got out of the car. Chen Yan held Dundun in her arms and gave her a big kiss without saying a word.
:
"Where are your parents? Have you missed your aunt? Are you wandering around here by yourself, aren't you afraid of encountering bad guys and taking you away?"
Dundun: "..."
The only bad person this cat encounters is you!
It didn't like being held by Chen Yan like this. Just when it was about to struggle, Chen Yan started to rub its hands up and down again:
"Haha, now that your parents are not around, I have to give you a good massage... Hey, your belly is so smooth, and the original bag is soft to the touch, so comfortable."
She pressed Dundun against the hood of the car and rubbed it for a while, making Dundun scream in anger.
Chen Yan was bullying Dundun when her heel got stuck in the sewer entrance on the roadside. Then Dundun dodged and she pressed on the hood and slipped.
Then he staggered, and the heel of his high-heeled shoes broke.
Dundun took the opportunity to break away from the ravage and ran away in a puff of smoke.
Zeng Xiaoqi lowered her head and looked at the broken heel like a crazy donkey, and said with a click:
"Shoes worth tens of thousands of yuan are ruined like this... I've already said that bullying Dundun does no good, why don't you believe it?"
"I believe it, but I still want to bully it."
Humph, so rebellious!
Chen Yanchong said to Xiao Wei:
"I have a shoe box in the trunk, please help me get it."
Not far away, Dundun held her little face and carefully licked the cat hair that was messed up by her smelly aunt.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
After finally licking the soft hair, it was all messy.
This kind of two-legged beast with no sense of boundaries is really super super super annoying!
While he was licking his fur, the little guy turned around and saw the white pony in the stable, looking out through the stable railing, which made Dundun even more devastated.
The look of being bullied just now must have been seen by the short legs.
I hate auntie!
Chen Yan put on her shoes and saw Chen Meijuan approaching with two alpacas, so she quickly went up to say hello:
"Where are Aunt Chen, Yueyue and brother-in-law? When I came here, I saw Dundun wandering around here by himself, and I'm not afraid of getting lost."
"Yueyue and Xiaoxu went back and said they wanted to take pictures of salted egg tofu, which is tofu stewed with salted egg yolk. We ate it at noon and it tasted very good. Yueyue wanted to take a picture and post it online. The two of them returned to the shop early after eating.
Li."
Tofu braised with salted egg yolk?
Zeng Xiaoqi thought of the food check-in photo that Yue Liyue posted in the group yesterday evening, and suddenly became interested in that tofu dish:
"Then let's go to the store later and try the craftsmanship of the landlady together."
She took a photo with her arms around the alpaca, went to say hello to her parents, and then went to the stable with Xiaowei and Xiaosui to watch the little white pony.
Chen Yan originally wanted to raise a pony, but when she saw two cute alpacas, she immediately got excited.
"Aunt Chen, do you want to escape them? Let me do it. I just want to take a walk and exercise."
Chen Meijuan handed over the traction rope:
"Don't let them eat the vegetables. I'll go to the back of the kitchen to check on the progress of the stove. I'm going to make crispy roasted pig."
What Chen Yan hates most now is all kinds of food.
Especially big dishes such as roasted pig, the glutton in my heart can’t help but be aroused.
But Chen Meijuan didn't think so. After handing the traction rope to Chen Yan, she took out her mobile phone and looked at it, and then said:
"Hey, Boss Huang sent a whole set of donkey meat to the store. He is preparing to make donkey meat in the store right now. Yueyue also wants to eat donkey meat on fire. Xiaoyan, don't forget to eat it later."
Chen Yan: "!
My dear aunt, I want to lose weight, please stop talking about food...
She originally wanted to make up a reason not to go to the store, but suddenly she remembered that Boss Huang, who had lost a lot of weight compared to a year ago, seemed to be using the ketogenic diet without eating staple food.
How about...I'll give it a try too?
This weight loss method has pros and cons. Not eating staple food for a long time will cause damage to the body, but it is not a problem for a short time. Chen Yan decided to try it.
On the other side, in Linji Food Store.
All ingredients have been washed properly.
Lin Xu set up a large iron pot, put all the internal organs such as the large and small intestines in, added enough water, poured in high-strength white wine, and started to blanch the water.
Before these ingredients enter the stew, they must be boiled to remove as much odor and impurities as possible.
As for the donkey head, it is still being cleaned now, and it will still be some time before it is put into the pot for cooking.
The hair on the surface of the donkey's head must be cleaned, and the mouth must be scrubbed repeatedly with salt. In addition, the ear canal, nostrils and other parts all need to be treated, which is more troublesome than a pig's head.
Boil the water in the pot, skim off the foam, and then boil for a while until all the large intestines, small intestines and other internal organs are cooked.
Then take it out, rinse the foam on the surface with hot water, and put it into the brine to start braising.
Bring the stewed soup to a boil over high heat, skim off the foam again, and turn to low heat to stew.
When stewing meat, the most taboo is high heat. The higher the fire, the worse the taste of the braised meat, and it is not easy to taste. The best way is to use a low fire to keep the braised soup in a state of boiling, so that the braised flavor can gradually penetrate into the meat.
Inside the ingredients.
Zhu Yong looked at the ingredients he packed today and said:
"Today we have enough ingredients to make a whole donkey feast."
Lin Xu smiled:
"We have this plan, but we still need donkey ribs and donkey tendons for the whole donkey banquet. We have to ask Lao Huang to send some more, and we will braise them with the donkey heads later."
Just now, Lao Huang put down the donkeys and went into the water, said goodbye and left, continuing to deliver goods.
After receiving a call from Lin Xu, he said:
"I'm not near Yingchun Street right now. I'll let someone from the company deliver it. The meat is very fresh and of good quality. Maybe it came from a donkey along with the internal organs."
This is good, the whole family must be neat and tidy.
Lin Xu hung up the phone and said to Zhu Yong and Qin Wei who were busy cleaning up the donkey's head, hooves and tail:
"After cleaning it up later, cook it for twenty minutes. When it's cooked through, add it to the stew. Put it at the bottom of the stew so that it doesn't hit the internal organs."
The offal comes out early, so it should be placed on top. The donkey head comes out late, so it has to be placed on the bottom.
After explaining this, Lin Xu began to bake the dough for donkey meat.
However, as soon as he started making noodles, he was stumped by a question from Niu Chuang:
"Boss, do you want to cook Baoding donkey meat on fire, or Hejian donkey meat on fire?"
Lin Xu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the two types of fire represented the two forms of donkey meat fire. The donkey meat fire circle had been arguing for many years, and they wanted to compete.
But today I’m eating alone in the store, so I don’t need to worry about it.
Lin Xu smiled and said:
"Cook some of both kinds of fire to avoid having to choose!"
