After returning to the room, Lin Fan looked at the cold room. The temperature was no different from that outside.
I miss Sijiucheng with heating and air conditioning.
It was so cold when he got home. Lin Fan took off his gloves and quickly lit a fire to warm up the house.
After the stove was started, Lin Fan began to process the pig waste, brine it.
After washing himself, Lin Fan suddenly felt troubled when he saw the pig entering the water.
He has never marinated it before. Why does this thing need to be so neat?
In the past, if I wanted to eat braised vegetables, I could make them at home, so I would go out and buy some.
Pork intestines, pork liver and the like are all eaten in stir-fries. As a southerner, although I also like to eat braised vegetables, I have never cooked them.
His predecessor had never done it before. Looking at the washed ingredients, he was confused.
"Xi Ba! You got yourself into trouble and came back."
Lin Fan looked at the ingredients funny, thought about it and gave up. He didn't know how to cook it. If the food he made was inedible, it would be a waste.
Don't waste food.
Forget it, let’s make ribs.
Wash the spareribs and cut them into pieces, about three to four centimeters in size. Blanch them after cutting.
If his neighbors saw this, they would call him a prodigal. How could people in this era blanch meat and vegetables? How much oil and water would be lost?
It's just that Lin Fan doesn't care about this little favor.
After blanching, wash and drain the water and set aside. Then pour oil into the pot. When the oil is 60% hot, add sliced ginger and stir-fry twice. Add the pork ribs and stir-fry.
When the ribs are fried until golden and slightly charred, add soy sauce, cooking wine (Lin Fan didn't have any, so he used a little white wine instead), a little sugar, stir-fry evenly, then add star anise, cinnamon, pour in enough water to cover the ribs, and simmer for fifteen
minute.
Finally, add a little salt and test the taste. It is salty and just right when it comes out of the pot.
While he was blanching the water, Lin Fan heard something moving in the backyard and saw He Yuzhu from the window climbing over the wall.
"What a talent~ I don't know how to explain. This time it's Liangliang. When Qin Huairu gets involved, you should marry Qin Huairu so as not to harm other women."
Lin Fan looked at He Yuzhu's back, shook his head and laughed.
When the ribs are simmering, the aroma wafts out quickly, from the backyard to the central courtyard. At this time, the smell of meat can spread far away.
(This is not an exaggerated description. It is true. The fragrance can spread far away. In the first episode of the TV series, when He Yuzhu was stewing chicken soup, Xu Damao in the backyard smelled it. In that era, whoever ate meat in a courtyard soon became the whole family.
Everyone in the courtyard will know.)
Everyone has a very good nose, unlike in later generations where everyone could eat oily and watery stir-fries, and there were some vegetarians.
If people of this era see this, I will give you two big bucks on the spot. I can't eat meat once a year. You are actually promoting vegetarianism, so go away.
Humans have spent tens of millions of years not becoming vegetarians.
I shook my head and threw away those hateful thoughts.
Now, I just want to eat meat.
Backyard, Liu Haizhong's house.
"This smell, someone is stewing the ribs." Liu Guangtian said with saliva.
I also smelled it in my bangs. Looking at the eggs in the bowl, I suddenly felt that they didn’t smell good anymore. Today is the New Year, so I got an extra egg.
Meat?
Don't think about it. It's just a monthly quota and you'll be waiting for New Year's Eve to eat it.
After sniffing carefully, Liu Haizhong said angrily: "This Lin Fan really doesn't know how to save. He only spends a small year stewing ribs. Isn't he a fifth-level fitter? Give him what he can do."
Not sour, I'm not sour at all.
Liu Guangfu curled his lips and said, "That's right, that's right..."
Actually what I was thinking was ‘I want to eat it too’.
The delicious food at home is always kept close to the eldest brother and his father. Now that his eldest brother is not here, the eggs at home have never been shared by the two brothers.
Looking at the pickles on the table and the steamed buns in their hands, the two brothers glanced at each other and saw the envy in each other's eyes.
Lin Fan has been promoted to the fifth level of fitter at such a young age, and he is the only one in the family. He can really eat as much meat as he wants.
The backyard of Xu Damao's house.
"Hmm~~~This aroma is the aroma of braised pork ribs. It's so fragrant. When Lin Fan came back in the evening, I saw him buying a lot of meat. It seems like the aroma wafted from his house."
Xu Damao took a few deep breaths. Even if he couldn't eat it, it was still okay to smell the fragrance.
"I didn't expect Lin Fan to have such a skill. It's really delicious." Lou Xiao'e said.
Despite her background as a capitalist, she could often eat meat in the past, but now that we are in a planned economy, it is difficult for her family to eat meat regularly.
Since marrying Xu Damao, the number of times the family can eat meat has become even less frequent.
So Lou Xiao'e was also very anxious when she lost the chicken. Who can care less about a chicken?
Xu Damao said disdainfully: "Tsk, isn't it just that he has been promoted to the fifth level of fitter? It seems that no one can afford meat. When I come back from the countryside, I will be jealous of him."
Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes and said nothing.
In this case, she had heard Xu Damao say many times that Xu Damao was able to bring back so many things when he went to the countryside. She also knew how he got there.
But she didn't point it out. After all, things are not easy in this era, and it is also a skill to be able to bring back some specialties.
Otherwise, her parents would not have allowed her to marry Xu Damao, even though they borrowed Xu Damao's class background.
The scene between these two families was played out in every household in the courtyard, and everyone expressed different thoughts about Lin Fan's braised pork ribs.
Envy, jealousy, disdain, to name a few.
Lin Fan didn't know anything about this. He was still waiting for the ribs to be stewed.
But even if he knew, he wouldn't care, because everyone is like this. When he first traveled through time, he also showed an envious expression towards the meat-eating family.
Because he is greedy for meat.
Twenty minutes later, the ribs were finally stewed. I tried the taste and found it was okay.
In later generations, he didn't cook much, and he knew very few dishes. For the dishes he didn't know how to cook, he just took out his mobile phone and cooked them according to the recipes online.
The taste is just like that of home-cooked food. It’s not too delicious. It’s okay to eat by yourself.
In this day and age, if he wanted to make some big dishes, he had no choice. Home-cooked dishes were still possible. After all, he just had to cut them into pieces and stir-fry them in a pot.
Put the ribs out, and there was still some oil. Lin Fan didn't waste it. He poured the chopped cabbage into the pot, poured in salt, stir-fried until cooked, then put it out. Two dishes were enough, and there were pickles.
I poured a cup of Erguotou and drank it happily.
Although there is only one person celebrating the New Year, Lin Fan is quite satisfied that he can eat such good food in this era.
After eating and drinking, Lin Fan tidied up, boiled water and soaked his feet before going to bed.
Today's blind date between He Yuzhu and Ran Qiuye caught Qin Huairu a little off guard. When Lin Fan thought about her expression, wasn't it the expression of feeling that her man had run away with someone else?
Lin Fan estimated that Qin Huairu would definitely come to him tomorrow, just to learn from him and to know what he should do next.
However, it is definitely impossible for the two of them to get married this year. Even if they can confirm their relationship, they will have to wait until after the year.
When the time comes, Qin Huairu will definitely be encouraged by her mother-in-law, but the uncle, aunt and the deaf old lady said that she will definitely go to the countryside to pick up her sister.
At that time, Qin Huairu's heart would become firmer.
"Just wait, I will bring you two together sooner or later to avoid too many things happening in the future. As for Xu Damao, I will keep an eye on him."
