When such beautiful pork skin jelly was taken out, Chen Fengying was stunned.
"Transparent... It's actually transparent! Just like glass! How can it be transparent? I've lived for almost 30 years and I've never seen such crystal clear pig skin jelly."
Chen Fengying widened her eyes and sighed repeatedly.
She also knows how to make pork skin jelly. In the early years, her family was poor and couldn't afford pork, so occasionally getting some pork skin was like picking up a treasure. She would also make pork skin jelly during the New Year or other festivals or when there were weddings or funerals in the village.
But the pork skin jelly she had made and eaten was always cloudy and foggy, and looked generally gray. It was never as pure and clear as the one made by Chu Yue.
This kind of pork skin jelly is delicious just by looking at it, not to mention eating it!
At this point, Chen Fengying finally understood why Chu Yue didn't need to boil the food but had to steam it. Also, the pig skin was obviously clean after the hair was plucked, but she still rubbed it with salt again and again.
So many complicated steps are done just to make the pig skin jelly clean and beautiful when it is finally formed.
That’s right…this is such a good-looking pork skin jelly, I wonder if it tastes any different from the usual ones?
Chen Fengying looked at the pork skin jelly and swallowed hard.
At the side, Lu Yuanbao stood on tiptoe on a small stool and stretched his head to look into the basin.
He didn't know what pork skin jelly was, nor did he know what it should look like. He just saw something like a basin of transparent ice, but it didn't feel as cold as ice.
Chu Yue turned the large basin upside down on the chopping board, and the solidified pig skin jelly naturally fell off the basin and landed on the chopping board with a plop.
Chu Yue took a kitchen knife and cut the pork skin jelly into square shapes, and then cut one of the pieces into rectangular strips.
She put the pork skin jelly on the plate, and then made a small sauce with some minced garlic, some red pepper and a little soy sauce.
"Sister Chen, Yuanbao, take this and try it to see how I cooked it."
Lu Yuanbao and Chen Fengying swallowed hard again, and didn't bother to be polite with Chu Yue. Without even using chopsticks, they directly reached out and picked up a piece of crystal pork skin jelly, dipped it in a little soy sauce, and put it in their mouths.
When you take a bite, it’s soft, chewy, smooth, tender and crispy.
Delicious! So delicious!
Because Chu Yue handled it very cleanly, there was no peculiar smell at all. Instead, there was a faint aftertaste. That was the effect of the star anise that Chu Yue added during the final steaming.
After eating one piece, one can’t help but lick his fingers and want to eat another piece.
In a blink of an eye, the three of them had eaten up the whole pot of pork skin jelly, taking a piece from each other.
Chu Yue was eating the pork skin jelly that she had made herself, her eyes full of pride and joy. It was really great that there was no failure.
Chen Fengying was still not satisfied after eating, "Sister Chu, you have made me hungry. Suddenly I feel that pork is not as delicious as your pork skin jelly. Next time I go down the mountain, I will buy some and come back to make pork skin jelly according to your recipe. My husband and my Dazhuang have never eaten such delicious food!"
Lu Yuanbao was calm and didn't say anything, but seeing him nodding from time to time and looking at the empty plate, you could tell how much he liked it.
He silently remembered in his heart that this crystal clear thing was called pig skin jelly.
The three of them were having fun inside the house when they heard shouting outside.
"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! Are you home?"
Chu Yue was quite familiar with this voice; it was Lu Zhanlin's bodyguard Song Qi.
Chu Yue wiped her hands and walked out, "Song Qi?"
When Lu Yuanbao saw Chu Yue move, he moved faster than Chen Fengying. He immediately jumped down from the stool and followed Chu Yue out.
Chen Fengying looked at the backs of the mother and son and murmured, "My Dazhuang doesn't cling to me this closely, he's closer than a real mother and son."
In the yard.
When Song Qi saw Chu Yue, he immediately smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I came here to give you something under the order of Captain Lu."
As he spoke, Song Qi patted the bicycle seat beside him.
That is a brand new 28-inch truck! (with pictures)
Chu Yue's eyes lit up when she saw this, and she subconsciously asked, "Did Lu Zhanlin say that?"
"Yes! Captain Lu said that my sister-in-law wanted a bicycle, so I thought of a way. If it weren't for the recent shortage of supplies during the New Year, I should have sent it to my sister-in-law yesterday." Song Qi patted the bicycle and took out another thing, "Sister-in-law, look! There is also this!"
From the cloth pocket on the back seat of the bicycle, he took out a piece of pork, and it was pork ribs. There were three of them, half of which were placed side by side.
Chen Fengying couldn't help but exclaimed, "Pork ribs! Pork ribs are harder to buy than pig's trotters. Some people go to the supply and marketing cooperative to queue up at four or five in the morning just to buy a few pork ribs! Sister Chu, Captain Lu is so good to you."
Chu Yue knew in her heart that this was Lu Zhanlin's intention.
The night he came back a few days ago, Chu Yue originally thought that the conversation between the young couple was just idle chat, but she didn't expect that Lu Zhanlin not only listened, but also kept it in his heart.
He arranged for Chu Yue to get the bicycle she wanted and the pork she casually mentioned she didn't buy.
Right now.
Chu Yue had only one question in her mind: Lu Zhanlin handed over all his assets, so where did he get the money to buy pork and bicycles?
Could it be that Captain Lu has a secret fund?
Chu Yue's thoughts flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help but find her guess a little funny. If Lu Zhanlin really wanted to set up some kind of secret treasury, he wouldn't have to give all the money to her in the first place.
Song Qi put the ribs in Chu Yue's hand, "Sister-in-law, I have delivered everything that Captain Lu ordered, you can take it. I wish you a happy new year first! There is a car waiting for me outside, I have to go back first."
"Song Qi, wait a minute!"
Song Qi didn't come here specifically to deliver something, but he had the opportunity to go up the mountain and did this thing on the way, so he was anxious to leave.
Chu Yue stopped him and asked him to wait for a few minutes.
She hurried back to the kitchen, took out some pork skin jelly, cut it into squares and put it in the lunch box.
In a blink of an eye, Chu Yue took out two aluminum lunch boxes.
"Song Qi, this is for Lu Zhanlin, and this is for you. Have it as a snack during lunch."
Song Qi had just eaten the wedding candy given by Chu Yue, and now he had another portion. He couldn't help but open the lunch box and take a peek. The smooth and transparent pork skin jelly looked delicious!
When he left, his smile was so bright and happy.
