After work in the afternoon, Fan Huifang and Ke Xiaoli cooked dinner.
Shen Xiaobei cut two pieces of meat from the meat he was going to make cold dishes, gave one to Fan Huifang, and asked her to give the other to Kong Wanwan.
After all, if Du Wenli needs help getting lime today, it would be bad to make their relationship too awkward. If Kong Wanwan finds out, she might rather spill all the lime into the stinking ditch than lend her some.
While they were all cooking dinner in the kitchen, Shen Xiaobei was not idle either.
She cleaned the bicycle thoroughly, then cut up an old piece of clothing belonging to the original owner, wrapped the seat with several layers of cloth, and also wrapped the handles and crossbars with a layer of cloth, and tied a cute little bow on the handle.
This way it doesn't look shabby or cold, and it won't look too out of place when a girl rides it.
Or the clothes are stained by rust.
She packed the bicycle carefully, and Fan Huifang and the others were almost done preparing dinner.
After everyone finished eating, Shen Xiaobei began to teach them how to make preserved eggs together.
She secretly took out a can of green tea from the space, disguised it as cheap bulk tea leaves, poured it all into the pot, added water and boiled it.
Then filter out the tea leaves, keeping only the tea water, and set it aside to cool for later use.
While Shen Xiaobei was making tea in the kitchen, he had already asked Fan Huifang, Ke Xiaoli and Deng Yuliang to help clean the shells of duck eggs in the yard.
300 duck eggs need to be cleaned one by one, which is quite time-consuming.
Fortunately, there is strength in numbers, and everyone gathered together to wash eggs and chat, and they were all very happy.
After making tea and washing duck eggs with Fan Huifang and the others for a while, Shen Xiaobei walked away to do the next step.
She found a large basin and put in what she thought was an appropriate amount of salt and alkali, as well as some quicklime that Du Wenli had secretly brought over.
Then he took a small shovel, shoveled some wood ash from under the stove hole and poured it into the basin.
After the tea cooled down, she poured it into the basin, found two wooden sticks and began to stir the ingredients in the basin until they became a uniform paste.
Then, roll the cleaned duck eggs in the paste until the eggshells are covered with a thick layer of paste.
Because this sticky material hurt his hands, Shen Xiaobei secretly took out a few pairs of disposable plastic gloves from the space.
After everyone has put them on, pick up the duck eggs wrapped in paste one by one.
Then he packed them into bags of ten, tied the bags tightly and placed them in three foam boxes, covered them with lids, and moved all the foam boxes to Ke Xiaoli's room.
Because her room is backlit and cooler.
You don’t have to worry about it after that. Wait about two weeks, crack a few eggs to see if they are pickled well. If not, marinate them for a few more days.
After pickling the preserved eggs, it’s getting late.
Everyone had to take turns taking a shower, as they had to go to work early tomorrow. After Shen Xiaobei thanked them, he told them to go wash up quickly and then go to bed early.
They don't need to worry about the rest, she can do it alone.
After watching Fan Huifang and the others leave, Shen Xiaobei went to the kitchen alone again, ready to start processing the meat dishes to be used for the stall tomorrow.
Tomorrow, in addition to some vegetarian dishes, she wants to try selling a few small amounts of meat dishes.
See how the members of these brigades in the commune have purchasing power for cooked meat dishes, and then make appropriate adjustments.
After browsing the meat stored in the space, Shen Xiaobei took out 30 chicken feet and prepared to make lemon chicken feet first.
This dish was her favorite before.
However, she usually eats more of it as a snack, and finds it very appetizing. It is very suitable for regulating her poor appetite in the summer, when her appetite tends to be dull.
Shen Xiaobei first cut off all the nails of the chicken feet with scissors, cleaned them, and then cut each chicken foot diagonally into two pieces.
Then put the cut chicken feet into the pot with cold water, add appropriate amount of spices such as cinnamon, pepper, star anise, bay leaves, cumin, fennel, etc., and then add a few slices of ginger and a little cooking wine to remove the fishy smell.
Then light the stove on high heat.
After boiling, some foam will float in the pot. Use a spatula to skim them off and pour them away. Continue to cook for about ten minutes, then pick up the chicken feet, rinse them with cold water, and put them in a clean basin.
Then, Shen Xiaobei took a few bottles from the space and put them together with the ice cream. He poured some icy pure water into the basin and soaked the chicken feet in it.
Take out another bowl, pour in appropriate amounts of light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, vinegar, salt, sugar, and pepper oil and mix them into seasoning.
After preparing the seasoning, she went on to cut the side dishes, which were rich in color and flavor.
There are purple and white onion shreds, emerald green coriander and green onion segments, bright red chili peppers, seeded yellow and white lemon slices, and white garlic cloves.
After all the side dishes are cut, pour the seasoning and side dishes into a bowl, and mix them with the chicken feet to make them absorb the flavor.
After stirring, Shen Xiaobei put the large bowl of lemon chicken feet into the space for storage.
Then start making the cold-boiled pig ears.
The procedure for this dish is similar to lemon chicken feet, although Shen Xiaobei hasn't made it since college.
However, she generally has an impression of any dish she has cooked before, as if it has become muscle memory. No matter how long it has been, she will not feel unfamiliar when she picks it up again.
Actually, she doesn't really like the dish of cold-boiled pig ears.
However, in the previous world, her father's favorite meat dish was cold-boiled pig ears.
Her grandmother told her that her grandfather also liked to eat this, but he was poor at that time and couldn't afford it.
