Su Qingluan looked at Yang who was choked by the onion and burst into tears, and felt a little amused: It’s too late, isn’t it?
After all, the lethality of onions is not as heavy as that of shallots.
After closing their stall today, the mother and daughter were not in a hurry to return to Huaxi Village.
They were waiting for Su Guangfu.
Although Su Guangfu did nothing wrong, due to the influence of the various modern costume TV dramas, whenever Su Qingluan mentioned words like "county magistrate" and "yamen", terrible scenes like "beating with a stick" and "pinching fingers" would appear in her mind.
Although A Niang said that the local county magistrate was honest and upright, he was not as "golden-lettered" as Bao Zheng and Hai Rui after all, so Su Qingluan was still worried.
Fortunately, what Su Qingluan worried about did not happen. At three quarters past three, Su Guangfu returned unharmed, and brought an unexpected news - the two bullies who extorted money today were actually instructed by someone.
The mastermind behind this was none other than Dong Mao, the owner of "Dong's Rolls", who had been engaging in vicious competition with others by lowering prices.
It turned out that Dong Mao had been holding a grudge against the Su family's burrito stall because he had tried to suppress it maliciously but failed. When he heard that the Su family was going to launch a new product, he wanted to create some trouble for the Su family's stall at this critical juncture so that he could fish in troubled waters.
So he secretly paid money and asked two ruffians to come and extort money from him, but he never expected that Su Qingluan would catch him with evidence and bring him to justice.
The two ruffians were paid to do the job and were not men of steel. Before the punishment could fall on them, they became soft-hearted when they saw the situation in the county magistrate's office and reported Dong Mao who was behind them.
The next thing is the story of Dong Mao and the two scoundrels. Seeing that the Su family was framed innocently, the county magistrate released Su Guangfu, the victim.
As for Dong Mao and those two scoundrels, whether they were beaten or imprisoned had nothing to do with the Su family.
Having escaped the two troublemakers, Yang happily stroked her husband's collar and said, "I'll definitely bathe in that mugwort water when I get home to get rid of the bad luck!"
Su Qingluan also smiled and raised the newly bought ingredients: "This is a good thing. Today, my daughter will make some fresh food to celebrate our escape from danger!"
Su Guangfu came over to take a look: "Oh, how come I've never seen it before?"
Yang smiled and said, "It's a new thing I bought from that foreign merchant."
Su Guangfu frowned slightly, picked up a handful and sniffed it. "Why does it smell like armpits?" He looked up at Su Qingluan. "Girl, is this spoiled and rancid?"
Su Qingluan: ...
Dad, how can she look Ziran in the eye in the future with the way you described her?
Su Qingluan thought that her father's description of the taste of cumin was already amazing enough, but she never expected that after returning home, her younger brother Su Xuanhe's description was even more outrageous:
"Sister, why does this thing called 'cumin' smell like sweaty feet?"
"No, it should smell like chicken manure!"
The little girl Su Xueyan made things even worse.
Su Qingluan: ...You guys please shut up, thank you so much. This description is really worse than no description at all.
However, the two little ones were originally just curious about cumin, but when Su Qingluan took out the pork, they became obviously disgusted.
Specifically, Su Xueyan ran into the room, while Su Xuanhe frowned and pinched his nose tightly.
Su Qingluan raised an eyebrow: "Is it necessary to dislike it so much?"
Su Xuanhe pinched his nose and said in a muffled voice, "Boiled pork, it stinks!"
Su Qingluan's forehead twitched: "Cook? How to cook?"
Su Xuanhe looked at his sister as if she were a fool: "Just add a little salt, throw it into the clay pot, and cook it."
After hearing this seemingly simple and crude cooking method, Su Qingluan once again gained a practical understanding of the simplicity of the cooking methods of ordinary people in this era - what a devilish cooking method!
No roasting of the skin, no pickling to remove the fishy smell, and no adding of any seasoning to cover up the "stinky" smell of pork.
Wait... Speaking of which, there weren't many people buying pork at the pork shop just now...
"Do other families cook pork like this?" Su Qingluan asked persistently.
When Su Xuanhe nodded in affirmation, Su Qingluan felt a black screen in front of her eyes: What a waste of resources!
Pork, how many delicious foods can be made!
Pork jerky, cured ham, braised pork, sweet and sour pork...
As a chef, I can't stand seeing any piece of pork being made to look unpalatable!!
Su Qingluan put her hands on her hips and said, "Today, let's eat 'delicious' pork!"
After that, she said loudly, "Mom! Let's build a clay stove in the yard today. Barbecue makes too much smoke!"
Although Yang and Su Guangfu had no idea what their eldest girl was up to, based on their past experience, they guessed that she would cook up some delicious food, so they picked up earthen bricks and started building a stove in the yard.
Su Qingluan used a stone mortar to crush sesame seeds, cumin, salt and sugar into fine powder to make "barbecue dipping sauce".
"Oh...it's a pity that I didn't see any chili peppers, only Evodia rutaecarpa..." Su Qingluan felt a little regretful.
Although Evodia rutaecarpa has a spicy taste, it does not have the "fragrance" of chili seeds, and it is slightly bitter. However, there is no better substitute at present.
After making the "barbecue dipping sauce", Su Qingluan tasted it. Although the flavor was slightly inferior to the modern carefully prepared barbecue sauce, the cumin added color to it, so the overall flavor was still good.
Just thinking about what my family said about the taste of cumin...
Just in case, Su Qingluan made a cumin-free version.
When Su Qingluan was preparing the dipping sauce, the earthen stove in the front yard had already been built.
Seeing that Dad had lit the fire, Su Qingluan hurriedly held up the piece of pork belly she had just bought: "Dad, wait a moment, I'll roast the skin!"
"Don't burn your hands!" Yang was horrified as she watched from the side. She quickly took a pair of tongs and clamped them on the pork, allowing Su Qingluan to roast the pork skin from head to toe until it turned a charred color.
Su Xuanhe was surprised to see this and said, "The pig skin is so hard and hard to chew, why don't you just throw it away?"
Su Qingluan smiled mysteriously: "This thing can be used to make delicious food!"
"Sister, are we eating pig skin this year?" Su Xueyan frowned and pouted, "I get toothache and mouthache when I eat pig skin!"
Seeing her sister's distressed look, Su Qingluan smiled and pinched both sides of her cheeks: "We'll eat the pig skin tomorrow, today we'll have grilled pork on the iron plate!"
After roasting the pig skin, she turned back to the kitchen and washed off the burnt residue on the pig skin, revealing its original color.
She then sliced the pork into paper-thin slices.
Because pork belly has both fat and lean parts, the meat's color and texture are red and white, which looks very tempting.
Chop the green onion and ginger, and Su Qingluan adds a little rice vinegar and white wine and mixes the pork belly slices evenly to remove the fishy smell.
At this time, the sound of my sister crying "wa wa wa" came from the yard.
Su Qingluan was startled and quickly stopped what she was doing and turned around to see what was going on.
