Chapter 81 Roasted Pig's Trotter
Lin Su'e smiled and nodded.
She was not surprised at Wang Xinyuan's reaction.
After all, this was a strong man who had been tricked into marrying an ugly woman in his previous life and yet he had managed to resist touching her.
…
After saying.
Lin Su'e didn't stay long either.
After saying goodbye to Wang Xinyuan, he turned around and went to the vegetable market.
Today is Saturday and the children are on holiday, so she has to buy some meat and vegetables and cook a delicious meal in the evening to satisfy the children's cravings.
The town’s vegetable market is small, and it’s afternoon, so many vendors have closed their stalls.
After a round of shopping, Lin Su'e bought 2 kilograms of pork belly, 3 kilograms of pork ribs, 2 pig's trotters and 1 old hen.
The side dishes are all available at home.
After buying everything, I was about to leave the market and go home. When I rode to the market entrance, I saw a group of people gathered in front of me.
She moved closer out of curiosity.
It turned out that a few fellow villagers were pushing a cart of fish to sell.
I just heard someone ask, "Wow, these fish are really lively, are they just caught from the river?"
The oldest middle-aged man answered: "It's not from the river. The reservoir in our village is releasing water, and this was just fished out of the reservoir."
“Oh?! They’re raised in the reservoir! They taste so good~”
"This fish is so fat, how long has it been raised in the reservoir?"
Man: "Haha, about three years."
"Three years, no wonder he's grown so big?!"
“…”
Lin Su'e listened and looked at the fish in the bucket. They were all jumping around and looked very lively.
She asked the man, "How much is this fish?"
The middle-aged man quickly replied: "Hello, sister, it depends on what kind of fish you buy. The price is different for each type."
Lin Su'e pointed at a palm-sized crucian carp and asked, "How much is this crucian carp?"
Crucian carp does not grow large.
This kind of crucian carp weighing about 1 jin tastes the best.
The man replied: "50 cents a pound."
50 cents, not expensive.
Lin Su'e estimated that the crucian carp weighed no more than 20 kilograms, and said, "I want all your crucian carp. Weigh them."
These crucian carps are rare, so she plans to make fish soup for Zhao Zhenxin to nourish his body.
You definitely can’t finish it in one meal.
But, just keep it at home and it won’t die in ten days or eight months.
"You want all of them?"
"Okay, okay, Third Brother, please weigh this aunt."
The young man, who looked very similar to the middle-aged man, replied: "Okay, Dad."
Lin Su'e didn't stop and took a fancy to a big silver carp: "How much does this silver carp cost per pound?"
The man explained: "This silver carp weighs at least 10 jin, which is considered relatively large, so it is sold at a higher price, 1 yuan per jin."
1 yuan per pound is reasonable.
Lin Su'e nodded: "Okay, weigh it for me."
"Okay."
She wanted to stop talking, but then she saw a black fish and asked quickly, "Countryman, do you have any more black fish?"
"Hey, big sister, you have good eyesight, just one, how about it?"
Lin Su'e nodded: "How much?"
Man: "3 yuan per pound."
Lin Su'e: "Okay, let's calculate the money."
at last.
15 crucian carps, 14 jin 6 liang, 14 jin, 0.5 cents per jin, 7 yuan; 12 jin silver carp, 1 yuan per jin, 12 yuan; black carp 3 yuan per jin, 3 jins, 9 yuan.
All in all, it cost a total of 28 yuan.
Paid the money.
At the man's warm greeting, she rode her bicycle into the vegetable market.
I bought another piece of tofu.
Return.
…
Out of the city.
There was no one in the west, so she quickly threw the things into the space.
Arrived at home.
It’s almost six o’clock.
Hearing the noise, Zhao Zhenxin came out to greet him and wanted to get things for her: "Mom, you bought a lot of vegetables, let me help you."
Lin Su'e didn't want him to be tired.
However, I didn't want to discourage the child's enthusiasm, so I handed him the black fish and pork belly, and praised him, "Xiao Si is awesome~"
Zhao Zhenxin's eyes turned into crescents as he smiled, and he worked even harder.
Mention the kitchen.
Lin Su'e first raised the crucian carp in a wooden basin.
Pig’s trotters. Today we are going to have something spicy – roasted pig’s trotters.
This is the most time-consuming.
Therefore, stew the pig's trotters first before processing other ingredients.
She started a fire.
Zhao Zhenxin said enthusiastically: "Mom, I'll light the fire."
Lin Su'e refused: "No, the smoke is too strong. You are not well yet, you can't smell so much smoke."
Zhao Zhenxin pouted in disappointment.
Seeing this, Lin Su'e's heart softened and she said, "But it's boring for Mom to cook alone without anyone to talk to. Can you move a stool and sit outside?"
Zhao Zhenxin's eyes lit up immediately: "Okay!"
He quickly moved a stool and sat down, supporting his chin with both hands, looking at her with bright eyes.
Lin Su'e smiled at her and started cooking.
Wash the pig's trotters and put them in the pot, add appropriate amounts of onion, ginger, rock sugar, star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon, peppercorns, dried chili peppers, fennel, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, soybean paste and salt.
Add boiling water to cover the ingredients.
Cover the pot and start simmering over high heat.
Then, start processing other ingredients.
Of course, the pork belly is braised in brown sauce, which the whole family never tires of.
Spare ribs are used to make a stew of spare ribs, beans and vermicelli.
Old hens are very hot in the summer, and if you want to eat something cold, you can use them to make mouth-watering chicken.
Then comes the fish.
I’m not cooking crucian carp today.
The black fish was bought specifically for Zhao Zhenxin to nourish his body.
However, considering that he felt uncomfortable drinking soup every day, I cooked two dishes of the fish: stewed the fish head with tofu, and sliced the fish body into scallion oil fish fillets, which is delicious and nutritious.
Talked to him.
Zhao Zhenxin couldn't help but exclaimed: "Fish fillet with scallion oil, it sounds delicious!"
"Mom, I love you so much."
Lin Su'e laughed and shook her head.
Fish head tofu soup was just ignored? !
Okay.
Lin Su'e and her friends were eating big silver carp. The silver carp was too big, so she planned to cook it into two different dishes.
The fish head is used for braising.
The fish bones are fried and made into salt and pepper fish bones.
Use fish fillets to make Sichuan style boiled fish.
In about an hour, Lin Su'e had almost prepared all the dishes.
There are many main dishes today, so of course we have to eat rice. She plans to make drained rice and scooped out about 5 kilograms of rice in total.
Let it cook.
In another pot, boil water and cook the old hen.
At this time.
The pig's trotters were also stewed.
Serve it out.
In another pan, pour in oil, put the pig's trotters in, stir-fry until the skin is charred, then pour in the secret barbecue dipping sauce.
The secret barbecue dipping sauce recipe is a mixture of chili powder, cumin powder, thirteen spices, fried peanuts, white sesame seeds, MSG and peach crisps.
This is the recipe used by many barbecue restaurants in later generations.
after.
Stir-fry evenly, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and it’s ready to serve.
At this time.
The kitchen was filled with an overbearing aroma that made people drool.
Zhao Zhenxin couldn't help asking, "Mom, what did you cook? It smells so good. My mouth is watering."
Lin Su'e replied: "Roasted pig's trotters!"
Then she comforted him, "You can't eat it now. When you recover from your injury, Mom will make it for you."
Zhao Zhenxin was very greedy, but he didn't make a fuss and nodded obediently.
…
The second dish, the old friend braised pork, was prepared in the same way as the previous times and came out of the pot smoothly.
Zhao Zhenxin volunteered: "Mom, I'll take it over."
Lin Su'e gave him a deep look, handed it over, and warned: "Eat at most one piece."
Hearing this.
Zhao Zhenxin looked like he was caught, stuck out his tongue, and nodded quickly: "Okay."
Turn around and trot away.
Lin Su'e shook her head and continued cooking.
