They have never fried vegetables, most of them are stewed or steamed. This way of cooking does not use oil and is enough to eat.
"I'll be cooking today, and you guys can help me," Fu Manman said.
"OK!"
The ladies were very happy and busy listening to Fu Manman's instructions, selecting vegetables, washing vegetables, and killing pigs and cutting meat.
Even though they are all ladies in their thirties and forties, they are very agile in their work.
"Where have those pigs been thrown into the water? Take out the pig hearts and belly, cut them into shreds, and fry them with wild wormwood."
"The pig heart is here, the rest are too fishy, so throw them into the pit and bury them," said an aunt.
"These are all edible, how could they be buried? Go get them back and cut the pig intestines with scissors. Wash them clean. Don't throw them away. They are all marinated together." Fu Manman said.
In fact, it's not that the ancients didn't know how to eat pig offal, but that there was no way to eat it. In an era when there were no rich condiments and even salt could not be afforded, these things were fishy and smelly, and they were not delicious no matter how they were prepared.
So it is better not to eat it.
But things are different now. There are all kinds of seasonings in her space, and she can marinate these pigs. The strong spices can remove the fishy smell and make the food more delicious.
After hearing what Fu Manman said, the ladies immediately dug out the buried pig and took it to the river to wash it clean.
Everyone was muttering while washing, are these things really edible? Are they really delicious?
After a while, they brought back all the cleaned pig waste, and Fu Manman asked them to rub it with flour and wash it again. After washing it thoroughly, they put it all into a pot to stew.
Fu Manman took out various ingredients from the space and introduced them one by one to the cooking ladies.
Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon, pepper, red pepper, big and big bags, packed in hemp bags.
There are also soy sauce and bean paste, all in large jars.
"Is this sauce? It smells so good!" An old lady said excitedly after recognizing this.
Fu Manman pointed at these and said: "These are spices that can be used for cooking, and these can be used for braised vegetables."
As Fu Manman spoke, he threw ingredients into the pot where the pigs were boiled.
"Put these away!"
"Put them all in! This will make them more fragrant." Fu Manman grabbed handfuls and threw them into the pot.
The ladies felt distressed when they saw it. These were spices they had never seen before, and it was such a waste.
"Don't feel bad, let's grow these spices in the future." Fu Manman said.
It turns out that I can still plant it, so I don’t feel bad anymore.
After the stewed vegetables were ready, Fu Manman asked everyone to choose the vegetables together, while Fu Manman cut the shredded meat.
Only when she came here to prepare the dishes herself did she realize that the kitchen was lacking a lot of things. There were too few tables, and she needed two more large tables, as well as pots to hold the vegetables, and a few more to come out.
Fu Manman cut a large pot of shredded pork, mixed it with soy sauce and starch and set aside.
All the washed wormwood seeds are cut into sections, and the first dish is ready.
Make another stir-fried Malantou and stir-fry wild celery and dried beans.
She had a lot of dried tofu in her space. Fu Manman went to her tent and took out a large box of packaged dried tofu from the space.
Then he took it to the back kitchen and said to the ladies: "These are dried tofu, which can be stir-fried and eaten. Remember to open the packaging bag when eating."
Everyone nodded in understanding, thinking that the gang leader must have taken this from a miracle.
All the side dishes were ready, and Fu Manman started cooking.
There was a lot of oil in the kitchen, so I paid a lot and picked up a bucket, poured the oil into the big iron pot, put in the bean paste, and fried the shredded pork.
There are many people, so when cooking this kind of big pot rice, you have to use a big pot and a big shovel. How big is this shovel? It is as big as a big shovel.
Stir-frying vegetables is like digging into the ground.
"So this is for cooking?" an aunt asked in surprise.
She always thought that the thing that looked like a shovel was used to dig the ground, but it turned out to be a shovel.
Stir-frying in a big pot is really fun, you put in a lot of effort and stir-fry very freely. Half a bag of salt is poured into the pot, as is the chicken essence.
Too many people is a waste of salt!
Fortunately, she has a lot of space, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to support so many people.
“It smells so good!”
“It smells so good!”
It turns out this is stir-fry!
"Has the big basin been cleaned? It's time to load the dishes!" Fu Manman shouted.
Stir-fried shredded pork is done quickly in one pot, even faster than stew.
“This cooking is too fast!”
"It tastes good! It just consumes too much oil." A lady felt sorry for the oil.
"It's okay. From now on, everyone can use the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar as long as it's enough." Fu Manman said boldly.
For the other two dishes, I paid a lot of money and left them to everyone to fry.
Using the two iron pots together, both pots of food were ready in no time.
"The meal tonight is really sumptuous. There are three dishes!"
“There’s also big bone soup!”
"From now on, everyone's dinner will be prepared according to this standard. For this kind of stir-fry, you can mix the two ingredients together." Fu Manman took this opportunity to make his request to the cooks in the back kitchen.
"I see, gang leader, we are all still worried about how to provide food for everyone. Now that you have taught us, we have figured it out." The leader, Mrs. Chunhua, said happily.
In the future, you can cook vegetables for everyone to eat, which is fast and delicious.
When it was getting dark, there was the sound of a truck rumbling from far away, and the light of the headlights shone from a distance.
After a busy day, the big guy came back with his tired body.
"What's cooking tonight? It's so delicious!" Chang Zhong got off the truck and took a deep breath and asked.
"Tonight's dishes are stir-fried by the gang leader. Everyone is in for a treat. There is also stew soup to drink."
"Is there really a dish cooked by the gang leader?" Chang Zhong was delighted!
As long as you take the initiative, everyone will be able to take the initiative.
After a while, everyone came back, and everyone went back to their dormitories to get bowls and chopsticks, and queued up to receive meals.
"The stir-fried vegetables we ate today! It's so fragrant. It must have been stir-fried by the gang leader." A young man shouted happily.
"Which dish is the dish cooked by the gang leader?" The young men from the Flying Tigers crowded forward and asked around the dish.
The dishes cooked by the boss are incomparably fragrant.
Fu Manman was immune to the flattery of the team members. As long as she cooked, they would praise her dishes to the heavens and the earth.
From now on, if they can praise their wives like this, their family will be happy.
Everyone had a very delicious dinner tonight, which was even better than the Chinese New Year dinner at noon.
It’s three dishes and one soup! It’s not so good even during the Chinese New Year.
After the first day's work was over, Fu Manman met with several captains and held a small meeting to inquire about their situation.
She will leave in a day or two. Before leaving, she must solve the difficulties here.
"That difficulty is nothing, it's just..." the young man from the Flying Tigers said embarrassedly, he pushed the young man next to him.
The young man next to him pushed Juncheng.
"Chi Juncheng, tell me!"
Really, I usually see them all being pretty thick-skinned, so I never feel so embarrassed.
