I went to my master's house and told Chen Dazhuang about Qian Xiangrong.
Chen Dazhuang immediately agreed happily.
He really couldn't bear to eat bear paws, and he had tasted them before.
My family is going to build a house soon, so every penny earned is good.
The two went out together. Chen Wang took a pair of bear paws back home, while Chen Dazhuang took the bear paws and twenty kilograms of bear meat to the store.
Lin Xiuqin had already cooked the chicken soup, so the braised bear paws could come in handy.
After taking the bear paw handed over by Chen Wang, Lin Xiuqin started to deal with it without saying a word.
This is a palace dish, the first dish in the Manchu-Han banquet, and it is very troublesome to prepare.
Anyway, Chen Wang didn’t know how to do it, he just saw the short videos shot by foreigners in his previous life and was drooling with envy.
Lin Xiuqin first boiled water in a pot, then put the bear paws in to blanch them twice, then changed the pot to another one with clean water, put them in again, covered the pot and started stewing.
"Wife, can you do this?"
Chen Wang was helping her pass water and asked curiously.
Lin Xiuqin nodded with a smile and made a few gestures.
It turned out that my mother-in-law had done it before and she learned it from the side.
"Did our father also hunt before?"
Chen Wang asked in surprise.
He doesn't have many memories of his wife's family.
Lin Xiuqin shook her head and said that her brother-in-law had earned some money working outside that year and bought the bear paws from a hunter.
Chen Wang nodded suddenly and said, "Wife, let's take some time to get some things and go back to see our parents!"
Lin Xiuqin was stunned for a moment, then her eyes turned red and she nodded vigorously.
This was the first time she heard such words from her husband after being married for more than two years.
Even when things were the hardest and most tiring, she never thought of escaping and going back to her parents' home.
But these few days, she really wanted to go back.
Not for anything else, just want my parents and brothers and sisters to know that I am living well here, and my husband is not stupid anymore, and he is doing well too!
Seeing his wife almost in tears, Chen Wang felt guilty and thought that he should have thought of this a long time ago.
“How long does this need to simmer?”
He changed the subject somewhat stiffly.
Lin Xiuqin smiled and raised two fingers.
"Twenty minutes?"
Seeing her shaking her head, Chen Wang was a little surprised and said, "Two hours?"
Wow, it’s worthy of being the protagonist of the Manchu-Han banquet. It takes two hours just to stew it in water.
The chicken soup is already simmering in the casserole, so there is nothing else to do for now.
The two of them returned to the front room, where Chen Wang shamelessly pulled them together for a while.
In broad daylight, Lin Xiuqin's shy look was so alluring.
“Hehe…”
The little girl laughed like a hen laying eggs.
Lin Xiuqin stood up from Chen Wang's arms in a panic, zipped up her cotton jacket, and rolled her eyes at him in embarrassment and annoyance.
Chen Wang blinked playfully.
"Woof!"
Ruyi the dog ran into the room first, came to Chen Wang's feet and acted cute, with its short tail wagging like a propeller.
It seems that this puppy not only has the potential to be a top hunting dog, but also a top bootlicker.
"Brother, sister-in-law, you are all in the room!"
The little girl appeared at the door of the room holding Jixiang and looked at them with a bright smile.
"Where did you go to have fun?"
Chen Wang asked with a look of resentment in his eyes.
This damn girl never comes back early or late, and she just wants to disturb my good times.
"Hehe... I went to play with Hei Niu and the others. They were always envious of our dog and monkey, and begged me to let them hug them, but I refused because I was worried that they would hurt Jixiang Ruyi."
The little girl said this as she walked into the room with a sweet smile.
Then, she noticed Lin Xiuqin, whose face was flushed, and asked with concern:
"Eh? Sister-in-law, why is your face so red? Do you have a cold?"
Lin Xiuqin's face turned even redder, she shook her head, and walked out of the room.
"Sister-in-law, where are you going? You need to take medicine and rest for your cold."
The little girl shouted with a puzzled look on her face.
"Okay, you think too much, your sister-in-law is fine!"
Chen Wang interrupted her unhappily.
"Really?"
"Come here, you went out to play so early in the morning and your hair is all messy. I'll tie it up for you."
"oh!"
Two hours later.
The brother and sister stood by the stove, watching Lin Xiuqin busying herself.
First, remove the hair from the cooked bear paw, peel off the calloused skin, and remove the bones while keeping the shape intact.
The whole process was tedious and complicated. Even though Lin Xiuqin was a good cook, she still made some mistakes, resulting in the shape being somewhat imperfect.
"It's okay, wife, you're already good enough. If you want me to make it, whether it can have a shape is another matter. Besides, we're going to eat it ourselves, so it doesn't need to be so perfect."
When Chen Wang saw his wife giving him an apologetic look, he quickly gave her his full emotional value.
"Yes, sister-in-law, you have done a good job."
The little girl also gave a thumbs up and praised.
Lin Xiuqin then smiled faintly and continued with the next steps.
The previous two hours could only be considered as processing the ingredients.
Now is the time to start cooking.
First, cut the bear paw several times horizontally from the back, then add lard in a pan, add onion and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, then pour the stewed hen soup with the chicken pieces, add some pork elbow and soy sauce, caramel color, salt, pepper and other seasonings.
