Cut the large stick bones into pieces and soak them in clean water for half an hour, wash away the blood inside, put water that covers the bones into the pot, add a few slices of ginger, and boil in cold water.
After boiling, remove the foam, remove the cooked stick bones and set aside. Prepare green onion slices, ginger slices, bay leaves, star anise, fennel and Sichuan peppercorns. Jiang Miao likes spicy food, so she grabbed a handful of dried chili peppers and cut them into pieces.
Put the pieces and seasonings together, and prepare a few spoons of Mrs. Zhang's pickled soybean paste and a spoonful of bean paste. Set these aside for later use.
After preparing the ingredients, Jiang Miao started making the sauced bones.
Put oil in a cold pan and stir-fry the sugar over low heat. After all the sugar has melted, add the prepared ingredients one by one and stir-fry. This process requires a low heat, because you are afraid that the high heat will burn the sugar and affect the taste.
The flavors of spices and chili peppers were forced out, and the rich aroma was so mouth-watering that Shi Lei, who was still holding back his neck and didn't want to eat it, immediately surrendered.
Anyone who doesn't eat such fragrant meat is a fool. He doesn't want to take advantage of Li Biao's grandson.
After frying the spices, pour water into the pot, add some white wine and soy sauce, then put the bones in and simmer over high heat.
This needs to be cooked for one to two hours, turning it several times to prevent the meat from sticking to the pot. Jiang Miao covered the pot and the aroma was hidden. Li Biao and others outside the kitchen sighed together, their faces
They all have expressions of regret.
"Hey, I haven't had enough of the smell yet. I don't need to smell it first before I eat it!"
"Who says it's not the case? Madam's cooking is really delicious!"
A group of people were standing outside the door, not wanting to go anywhere. If they had tails behind them, they would be wagging now.
"Everyone, go ahead. You have to wait a while before you can eat the pickled bones. You go help the adults handle the official business first."
Shen Yanqing was so busy working for the economic development of Zhenjiang Prefecture that he slept less than four hours a day. He was now covered in black spots, which made Jiang Miao feel distressed.
This sauce bone is said to welcome the Shen family, but in fact it also means to replenish his body. Shen Yanqing has lost weight visibly to the naked eye recently.
Here Jiang Miao said, Li Biao and others all reacted, yes, your Excellency is still busy with official duties now, it is really unseemly for them to wait for meat to eat here, several people quickly got up and hurriedly called Jiang Miao
He said hello and ran away.
"Madam, the little ones are going to do their work first. We will come over to eat meat after we finish our work later."
"Come on, it's true that you guys are busy all alone. If Madam hadn't reminded you, you wouldn't have known to help..."
"You're not the same..."
A few people complained to each other as they walked. Jiang Miao shook her head. She was used to this daily life. Although these people were a little greedy, they were all reliable in their work. The county government office that was bustling every day was also very energetic, so Jiang Miao never followed
They were angry.
After the people left, she began to make noodles. The soy sauce bones would be eaten with pancakes. The thin pancakes were dipped in broth, not to mention how delicious they were. There were many people in the county government, and they were all strong laborers. Just kneading noodles would be enough.
A big basin full.
As soon as Shen Yingxue and Mrs. Wang entered the door, they saw her struggling and skillfully preparing her face. Shen Yingxue quickly stepped forward to take over.
"You rest, I'll do it."
It was just making noodles, which was something she was used to doing at home. Shen Yingxue was also very skilled in her movements. Jiang Miao's arms were sore when she was rubbing them. Seeing Shen Yingxue's help, she didn't refuse and smiled gratefully at her.
"Then I'll trouble you, eldest sister."
"It's just making noodles, why bother? It's really tiring for you to make this meal. Why don't you hire a cook to help you."
Shen Yingxue also didn't expect that Jiang Miao was already an official's wife, and she did everything herself without any pretensions.
"There are kitchen helpers in the county government. They have a day off today because they have something to do at home."
Otherwise, she would have left the job of making the dough to the two of them. Her body was so delicate that she could not do any heavy work. Her skin was so delicate that it would ache even if she was slightly tired.
But she also likes to cook, so she usually asks people to help process the ingredients. She is only responsible for cooking, so that she can eat delicious food without tiring herself.
"Well, that's pretty much it."
Shen Yingxue nodded, seeing that Jiang Miao was really doing well, she felt relieved.
With the help of Shen Yingxue and Wang, Jiang Miao quickly made two pots of pancakes, and the bones in the sauce were also cooked. The aroma overflowed through the pot lid, making people's mouths water.
"Miaoya's craftsmanship is still so good. It's been a long time since I've smelled such fragrant meat since you left..."
Mrs. Wang sniffed her nose hard, the scent was really memorable.
"Then sister-in-law needs to eat more today."
Jiang Miao replied with a smile as she fished out the soy sauce bones.
She hasn't eaten for a long time. She made a lot this time and must eat enough.
"Sir, why don't we go eat first..."
Li Biao's buttocks kept moving as if a needle had been placed there. Ever since Jiang Miao lifted the pot, he could smell the fragrance and couldn't sit still.
Shen Yanqing glanced at him without saying a word, and read the official documents in his hand. These subordinates were good at everything, but they were too greedy. In the past, they felt happy even if they had plain porridge, but now they have to eat meat to be satisfied.
"Look at how greedy you are, you are indispensable for the meat!"
Shi Lei spoke sarcastically, but the saliva in his mouth almost flowed out. The taste was so delicious.
"Huh, Madam, I will definitely keep it for me. It's not like someone who says he won't eat it. Don't slap him in the face later!"
Li Biao was not afraid of him and immediately pushed back.
"you!"
Shi Lei was caught in a weak spot. He really shot himself in the foot, but it was impossible not to let him eat meat. If he was shameless, he would still eat it.
"Okay, let's go to the front yard."
After Shen Yanqing finished writing the last word, he put the pen on the shelf and stood up first. If he stayed there, the two of them would start fighting.
"Yes, please come first, sir!"
As soon as Shen Yanqing moved, Li Biao and Shi Lei immediately calmed down. They were about to eat meat. They had to save some energy. The real competition would still have to be at the dinner table.
Li Biao's eyes were like knives piercing Shi Lei. He would use all his powers later to never let Shi Lei take away a piece of meat.
Shi Lei didn't hesitate to give in. He glared at him fiercely and waited to see!
Shen Yanqing didn't notice the undercurrent among his subordinates. As soon as he walked to the front hall, Jiang Miao came over with the sauced bones. The skin was bright and the meat was plump. The sauced bones looked particularly attractive at first glance. Jiang Miao greeted him with a smile.
"Ms. sir, come here quickly. I've reserved the meatiest piece for you. I'll make up for it after you've worked hard during this period..."
Jiang Miao thought casually, caring about his body. Shen Yanqing's chest was burning, and the tenderness in his eyes could kill someone.
"good."
"Madam, we want it too!"
Li Biao and Shi Lei followed behind, their eyes brightening as they looked at the sauced bones on the table. They were also tired and thin, and they also needed to replenish their bodies.
