Chapter 63: Making oyster sauce is quite complicated...
Chapter 63
Lin Mujin instructed her cousin Lin to continue making the oyster sauce.
Remove the oyster shells and put the pork into the pot and continue to cook.
"Sister, use the spoon to push gently, don't break the oysters."
She didn't know what the consequences would be if it was broken.
To prevent Cousin Lin from asking further questions, Lin Mujin changed the subject. "Oyster sauce has a wide range of uses. It can be used to add flavor to stuffings, or in salads and stir-fries. Especially when stir-frying vegetables, adding a little really enhances the flavor."
In her previous life, when she stir-fried quick vegetables, oyster sauce was a must.
Cousin Lin listened attentively. "It has so many uses. I'll try adding it to the minced meat tomorrow morning. How much is appropriate?"
Lin Mujin thought for a moment and said, "About three or four spoonfuls will be enough. No need to put too much."
Cousin Lin glanced at the soup in the big pot, which meant that there was so much, but so little was added.
Lin Mujin understood again. "You'll know how much it is once it's cooked. It's almost done, sis. You can take out the oyster meat now. I'll make oyster omelets tomorrow."
The oyster meat has been boiled and most of its essence has been lost.
But throwing it away is impossible, how can it be such a waste.
"Sister, you can fry the sugar color now. It also adds flavor. It's almost done. Add the broth you just boiled and continue to simmer over high heat."
Cousin Lin did it meticulously, "It's quite troublesome."
Lin Mujin said, "Yes, fortunately, it can be used for a long time after one time."
Although the final product will not be much, the amount used each time is not large either.
Lin Mujin prepared a bowl of flour water and slowly added it to the pot. "Sister, continue to boil it until all the water in the flour water is boiled out, then you can turn off the heat."
Cousin Lin looked at the brown-black liquid still bubbling in the pot and asked, "Is it done?"
Lin Mujin nodded. "Okay. I've prepared a bottle of boiled wine. I'll just pour it in later. But it has to be refrigerated."
Cousin Lin took the chopsticks, dipped a little into the food, put it to her lips, and licked it with her tongue. "It's quite fresh."
After saying this, he smacked his lips.
"The refrigerator isn't even open. It's a little inappropriate to open it just to put something in."
Cousin Lin started to calculate the financial accounts again.
Lin Mujin said, "You can put some water in the freezer and freeze it into big ice cubes. Then you can break them up and put them in the sour plum soup. That way you can earn some extra money, enough to pay the electricity bill for the refrigerator."
Cousin Lin thought of another problem, "But the ice will melt, and then the sour plum soup will taste bland and won't taste good."
Lin Mujin thought to herself that her cousin was quite honest in her business dealings. "Sister, you can find an old quilt to cover the ice bucket. That way, heat won't get in and the ice won't melt. Then, when you're ready to sell the sour plum soup at noon, you can sell it all before the ice melts."
Cousin Lin immediately said, "I know this. When I was a kid, I saw grandma selling popsicles in boxes wrapped in quilts."
Lin Mujin added, "I'll put the eggs in the refrigerator tomorrow so I can buy more."
Cousin Lin was even happier. "That's great. Everything else is easy, but the eggs are so fragile. I have to be extra careful every time. If I could buy more at once, it would save me a lot of trouble."
Lin Mujin added, "Fruits and vegetables can also be stored in the refrigerator. As long as you open the refrigerator, there will only be more and more things inside, and there will be no waste at all."
Cousin Lin was successfully persuaded.
——————
In the morning, Lin Mujin had fried dumplings with oyster sauce.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but it feels even more delicious.
There are also a lot more things in the refrigerator.
Eggs, bananas, fresh corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, spinach, carrots, cilantro, pork belly, half a chicken, a large bowl of water...
"The freezer is a little small."
I originally thought that the freezer utilization rate was low and that a large grid would be enough, but the large bowl of water for freezing ice cubes took up a lot of space, and when I stuffed in a piece of pork belly and half a chicken, it felt a bit full.
Wrong tools and poor space utilization.
I don't know if there are special boxes for freezing ice cubes now.
I really have to look for it later.
If you really don't have one, you can consider buying a rectangular ceramic basin.
Well, there are always more solutions than problems!
To be honest, the refrigerator is a great thing for her to use.
She doesn't have to go to the market to buy vegetables anymore.
Now, Cousin Lin can buy the vegetables and meat needed for the day at the morning market and put them in the refrigerator for freezing.
Then she doesn't have to go out in the morning, and can mail the manuscript and make phone calls in the afternoon.
This way the whole morning will be her writing time.
For the first time, Lin Mujin felt so comfortable writing that she didn't leave the house the whole morning and only did some exercises during the break.
Now, without any writer's block, my typing speed can reach 1,200 words per hour.
I believe that in the near future, fifteen hundred will no longer be a dream.
It turns out that practice makes perfect in everything.
"I've been writing for over four hours and have already written over 5,000 words, exceeding my morning goal."
Lin Mujin stretched, yawned, and adjusted herself. It was already eleven and a quarter, and she had to go make lunch because Lin Muli would be back to eat.
First, put rice in the rice cooker. Half a bowl of rice is enough.
"What are you cooking?"
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Xiao Li said he didn’t eat enough last night.
Take out the pork belly and cut it in half. The meat is not completely frozen yet, so you can cut it directly. The other half does not need to be frozen, but put it in the refrigerator and eat it in the evening.
By the way, put half a chicken in the refrigerator and use it to make soup in the evening.
Next time I will make it clear to Cousin Lin that the meat to be eaten that day can be refrigerated and there is no need to freeze it.
If you buy too much and can't finish it in one day, cut off the portion you will eat that day and refrigerate it, and freeze the rest.
Lin Mujin cut the pork belly into shreds and washed two potatoes and cut them into shreds.
This is how to make shredded pork belly and shredded potatoes, which is a dish that goes well with rice.
"Sister, I'm back!"
Lin Mujin was shredding potatoes when she heard him say, "You're back. Go wash your hands and eat right away."
The kitchen knife in my hand cuts faster.
Lin Muli walked into the kitchen, shaking his wet hands. "Sister, what delicious food are you making for lunch?"
Lin Mujin replied, "Scrambled eggs with tomatoes."
Lin Muli was very flattering, "I love this."
Lin Mujin continued, "Shredded pork belly with shredded potatoes."
Lin Muxi continued to hold it, "I like this too."
Lin Mujin wants to ask, is there anything you don’t like to eat?
"Sister, let me make shredded potatoes." Lin Muli volunteered.
After Lin Mujin finished the last two cuts, she immediately gave way and said, "You do it."
She went to set the dishes and chopsticks, "Brother, stir-fry the shredded pork for a while longer. I don't like too much oil." She had to remind him.
Lin Muli nodded, "I know my sister likes to eat burnt food."
Lin Mujin raised the corner of her mouth, "It's not in vain that I love you."
Lin Muli puffed out his chest and said, "It's a must!"
