"Mom, I've bought everything and cleaned the pig intestines. Let's make braised pork. I said, you can do it, don't feel pressured. Before today, we had no money and no meat.
If we don’t do it well, then we’ll just pretend that the meat doesn’t exist.
But we still have money from selling meat, right?
I have already made some money, and now I just want to try it out and find a long-term way to make money.”
This statement makes a lot of sense.
Xie no longer felt conflicted.
"Okay! Let's try it after we have dinner."
"good!"
The mother and son hurried to eat, and after lunch, they started to get busy in the kitchen.
Gao Miao explained the specific method skillfully. At first, Mrs. Xie was puzzled when she listened. Why did this kid seem to be a good cook?
I have never cooked at Lao Gao’s house before.
But it only lasted for a while, she was so absorbed in her work, and when she was busy she was too lazy to think about those things.
Who cares.
Just give it a try!
Pork head, pork intestine, pig trotter, pig liver, and pig heart, these meats require different cooking temperatures, so the time they are put into the brine is also different.
The mother and son calculated the time and poked the meat in the pot with chopsticks from time to time.
The braised meat should not be too mushy.
Braised large intestine is different, it can be braised to make it soft and tasty.
When cooking pork liver, you need to pay special attention to the cooking time. If you cook it for too long, the meat will be too tough, dry and hard, and it will not taste good.
Fortunately, Gao Zhi explained it in great detail and Gao Miao had a good memory, so the mother and son finally managed to get the things done.
If something is not braised yet, they will cut it into two small pieces, one for the mother and one for the son, to taste.
Since you want to sell the product, you have to at least pass this test yourself and know what it tastes like.
The first thing to come out of the pot is the pork liver.
After taking a bite, the eyes of both mother and son lit up.
Xie was so excited that she stuttered.
"Xiao Miao, this this this this this... this this this is delicious..."
So delicious that I want to cry!
She had never eaten such delicious pork liver.
Gao Miao also nodded happily.
This recipe does.
He had eaten a lot of good food in his previous life and had a good status and position.
There is a braised food shop in Beijing, but the food there is not as good as this one.
Gao Miao's heart was excited.
That's it!
You can use this method to make money temporarily.
The mother and son excitedly braised the remaining ingredients one by one.
It was almost dark after the stew.
The aroma of the braised meat from the Xie family was so fragrant that when the wind blew in the evening, the fragrance spread over the entire village.
Villagers asked one after another: "Where does this fragrance come from? It smells so good."
"I don't know, but it smells really good. My mouth is watering just by smelling it."
First, put everything in pots, and then put the pig intestines into the pot for braising.
This can be soaked directly in brine.
"Xiao Miao, I'll cut some meat later, and you can send it to the ancestor so that he can taste it."
The ancestor was a benefactor to them and their children. If it weren’t for the ancestor’s help, they didn’t know what would have happened.
Gao Miao nodded, "Okay! I'll go later."
When the pig intestines were braised, Xie scooped some out and cut them.
When these things were put together, they weighed several kilograms.
Xie put the things in a bamboo basket and covered it with a clean cloth.
"Go quickly! Come back soon."
"OK!"
Gao Miao was carrying things to his ancestor's house and met some villagers on the way. The villagers smelled a familiar fragrance and hurriedly stopped him.
"Xiao Miao, what are you talking about? It smells so good."
Gao Miao stopped and said, "Braised meat, just braised. My mother asked me to bring some to our ancestors to taste."
"So this is the aroma of braised meat, coming from your house?
We were just wondering why it smelled so good. "
The villagers were surprised. They never expected that Xie’s cooking skills were so good.
Gao Miao laughed, looking a little embarrassed, "We stewed the pig's offal and pig's head, and plan to sell them in town tomorrow.
My mother said that every bit of money earned is good, and Jiaojiao should not starve."
The villagers just nodded as they listened.
That's the truth!
Gao Acai's family is vicious, evil and stingy. When the family property was divided, they gave nothing to Xie Xianglan.
Xie Xianglan now has two children to raise, so she must find a way to make money.
Especially Jiaojiao!
That girl is not only Xie Xianglan's daughter, but also a lucky girl in the village.
That needs to be taken care of!
Gao Miao pointed in the direction of the ancestral home and said, "I'll send it over first. I have to go back to help my mother with work later."
The villagers waved their hands and said, "Go!"
Gao Miao sent the braised meat to the ancestor's house, and the ancestor tasted a few pieces while it was still hot.
The old man ate a few pieces of meat and immediately asked someone to get him some wine.
"This meat goes well with wine! It's delicious! I'm an old man with bad teeth, and this kind of meat not only tastes good, but also doesn't strain my teeth.
Good, good, good!
Xiao Miao, your mother is a good cook. "
Gao Miao smiled proudly, "Thank you for the compliment, ancestor! Since the ancestor said it was delicious, we feel relieved.
We will go to town to sell braised meat tomorrow morning."
The old man paused and asked, "You want to sell the braised meat?"
Gao Miao nodded, "Yes! My mother said that she would find a way to earn money to support Jiaojiao and me.
Tomorrow we will not only sell braised meat, but also make some cakes to sell.
My mother said that he had to stand up.
This way, Jiaojiao and I can grow better.”
Gao Miao pushed all the good things onto Xie, portraying her as an independent and strong mother.
Our ancestors admired independent and strong people the most.
Sure enough, after listening to Gao Miao's words, the old ancestor nodded frequently with appreciation in his eyes.
"Okay! Then go back and help your mother with her work first."
"Okay! Ancestor, I'll go back first then."
After Gao Miao went back, Gao Ronghua also came over with some wine.
"Grandpa, Xiao Miao brought so much meat here, why didn't you ask someone to bring something back for him?"
The old man leisurely picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, with a satisfied look on his face, "Delicious!"
"???" Gao Ronghua was full of questions. He put down the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for the old ancestor, "Grandpa, wine."
"Hmm." The old man took a sip of wine, and the expression on his face became more satisfied. After three glasses of wine, he put down the empty glass and waved to Gao Ronghua who was about to pour him another glass of wine.
"Sit down, you can also try the braised meat."
Gao Ronghua picked up a piece of pig intestine.
He was prepared for the taste to be unpalatable, but when he took a bite of the braised pork intestines, the salty aroma and soft texture immediately captured his taste buds.
He couldn't help but try all the other dishes one by one.
Mmm, so delicious!
But what does this have to do with them not returning the favor?
The old ancestor looked at Gao Ronghua and said, "Human relationships are a give-and-take thing. Xie asked Xiao Miao to send the meat over as a token of her gratitude. We can afford it."
If you really want to help them, there's no need to rush now.
Does the meat taste good?"
Gao Ronghua: “Okay!”
The ancestor laughed.
"Xie Xianglan has such ability, so there is no need to worry that she can't support Jiaojiao."
Oh wow!
Gao Ronghua understood instantly!
"There is one more thing!" The smile on the old ancestor's face disappeared.
