Chapter 111 Chapter 111: Eight Hundred Years of Ascaris
If you want to make hot pot ingredients yourself, you have to go to the market again.
Xu Chunshan thought about the butter on the stall when he bought beef at the market. He took off his apron and walked out to the market in a hurry.
These days, it is illegal to slaughter cattle at will, but sick cows and old cows can still be killed. Therefore, in this market, not only every day, but also every day, you can still come across beef for sale.
.
When I rushed to the market, all the beef sold today was sold out, and only butter was left for sale.
Xu Chunshan didn't say much and quickly took it.
I went to buy some seasonings and hurried back.
The first one is to boil the butter. First, soak the butter in water for a quarter of an hour, then cut it into pieces, put water in the pot, pour the butter cubes in, run the water over to remove the blood, boil the butter cubes, and then use them.
Rinse with clean water and the oil will be whiter and more fragrant.
Then, pour two more bowls of water into the cleaned pot, pour the cleaned butter cubes in, and start the cooking.
After the high fire comes to a boil, simmer slowly over low heat. It should take at least three quarters of an hour to simmer. During this period, be sure to stir it at any time.
While the butter was simmering, Xu Chunshan prepared to make glutinous rice cake and sea pepper. This is the essence of hot pot ingredients and no one can do without it.
Xu Chunshan grinned, "I think so too, maybe the butter here is good?"
These days, secret recipes are worth a lot of money! Anyone who has one or two secret recipes can become heirlooms!
That’s a great way to make a fortune!
The word spread from person to person, and it spread very quickly, just like a gust of wind. Once it was blown, the whole city knew about it.
Hearing this, Xu Chunshan couldn't help but nodded in agreement, thinking about the dried chili peppers and bean paste, and talked about his experience and feelings after not cooking for a long time.
"Dad, it smells so good! This hot pot ingredient smells better than the ones you cooked before!"
After mixing well, put it in a clean pottery pot and let it cool naturally, the butter will solidify, and then you can cut it into pieces for hot pot ingredients, just put one piece on top when you use it.
Old man Xu walked away with his hands behind his back. Xu Yinyin sniffed and walked towards the kitchen until she stopped in front of the pottery basin filled with hot pot ingredients. Her nose was hunched again and again, and her saliva was secreting endlessly.
You said that the Xu family has useful secret recipes and also has secret recipes for eating them. Who knows how many secret recipes he has?
Add some rock sugar cubes and stir-fry until the watercress becomes crispy and the oil becomes slightly clear, then add the glutinous rice cake, sea pepper and fermented glutinous rice and stir-fry.
The products produced by the system really make people feel that they are not missing out on a chance. It is a full bag, at least five kilograms in weight, and they are all cut and convenient. They can’t be used up this time. Xu Chunshan poured out some and others.
Let Xu Yinyin move into the space first.
Xu Yinyin guarded the pot of hot pot ingredients and felt happy when she smelled the smell.
Boil water in another pot. After the water boils, pour in some water from the dried chili peppers. One is to clean them, and the other is to remove the bitter taste of the chili peppers.
Let’s just go back to Xu’s shop for now.
It was so fragrant that I couldn't help it. When I went to the kitchen, I saw old man Xu who was supposed to be in the shop in front of me and was also looking at it at the door.
Xu Yinyin was busy working on shampoo in the workshop room next door. The strong fragrance was always in her nose, and she almost drooled into the simmering shampoo.
Zhang Xiulan, who was responsible for lighting the fire just now and was still handling the pot of beef louvers, couldn't help but interrupt him, "Okay, okay, stop bragging and get to work! Have you cut the beef? Cut the mutton.
Is it done? It’s not finished yet. Someone will come and iron it later.”
In addition, eighteen kinds of spices such as star anise, geranium, angelica, and angelica are also ground into powder with a medicinal roller, mixed with white wine, and then individual Sichuan peppercorns are soaked in white wine to make them numb.
Then start to add the ingredients, ginger cubes, garlic cubes, freshly soaked spice powder, bean paste and Sichuan peppercorns, add them in and stir, stir-fry over low heat to get the aroma of the bean paste, shovel it in every time you stir it.
, to avoid sticking to the pan.
Old man Xu didn't understand hot pot, and he didn't understand hot pot ingredients even less. However, he knew that he was busy treating Liulang's classmate to dinner. Even the shopkeeper of the restaurant opposite was smelling the aroma and took a look.
Of course, he doesn’t need to talk about the taste. I’m going to invite Mr. Rokuro to some hot pot today. I’ve already got a meal for this meal!
Old man Xu became happy just thinking about it. He didn't ask too many questions and didn't understand. He just said "do it well" and went back to the front shop with his hands behind his back. When someone asked again, he smiled and said: "I cook at home."
Woolen cloth!"
It's almost done, and the fire can slowly subside. Now add white wine and stir, first to cool down, and second to wash out the flavor.
This Xu Ji Sanitary Ware Shop was already a hit, but as soon as these words spread, it even got into the eyes of those who were interested.
I asked the man who stretched out his neck ten times. Hearing this, his eyes widened. Do you want to cook something at home? What? It smells so good so early in the morning that the roundworms from eight hundred years ago are eaten out of the person's stomach.
!What kind of delicious food can't you make?
When I turned around and went out, I told others that Xuji Sanitary Ware Shop was amazing. They had secret recipes for cleaning teeth, hair, bathing and washing clothes that they had never seen before. There were also secret recipes for food that they had never seen before!
Xu Yinyin said: "I feel like the things Tongzi gave are good."
Old man Xu was startled. He turned around and saw her. He sniffed and said, "Well, your dad fried this, it's so fragrant! It's not that I couldn't help it, it was the guest in front who smelled it.
I asked eagerly what our family was doing, whether they were opening a restaurant in the backyard! And Baba, the shopkeeper of Yixiangju across the street, came over to ask. I was so nervous that there was a restaurant in our backyard, and I couldn’t tell! I almost stopped him.
No one lives there, so just come in and take a look."
"This is too fragrant, Chunshan, what are you doing!"
During this process, the shovel cannot stop and must keep stirring the pot.
In the middle of winter, Xu Chunshan was sweating profusely while working in the kitchen. He wiped it with his apron, walked to the door and said, "We are making hot pot ingredients!"
Take out the boiled pepper segments and drain them, then mash them into minced rice with a small bucket to make glutinous rice cake.
It is said that the speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.
I couldn't help but said: "Dad, how about we open a hot pot restaurant? Your hot pot ingredients are so good. In modern times, I have always regretted not opening a hot pot restaurant."
Xu Chunshan immediately stopped, turned to the chopping board, and started working.
"Grandpa, what are you doing?"
At this time, the frying in the pot has also turned brown. Pour in the onion, ginger, garlic, etc. to remove the fishy smell. After frying until fragrant, take it out. Then take out the oil residue. Then put the onion and coriander in the oil and fry until the aroma is released.
fish out.
As soon as the pot was boiling, Zhang Xiulan, who was immersed in cleaning the beef louvers, immediately raised her head, "Yinyin, you keep track of the accounts every day. How much money does our shop make? Can we open another food shop?"
Xu Yinyin thought for a while and said: "Depending on the location and the size of the store, it should be enough."
Zhang Xiulan's eyes brightened, "Can your grandfather agree to let us open it? Yes, he listens to you and your brother now. You two can talk about it together. If the preservation is successful, can you open a shop selling pig's trotter rice first?"
The couple started their own small business selling pig's trotter rice without working part-time. From a night market stall to a large store in the city center, the business was full every day.
After so many years, Pig's Knuckle Rice has become like another child to them that no one can leave behind.
