After saying that, Zhou Zheng turned around again, picked up the apron beside him and put it on himself.
After tying on his apron, he had a machete in his hand and chopped the half piece of pork into pieces.
According to the ingredients needed, the pork was sorted and organized.
After he finished doing all this, he looked at those people again and his eyes were wide open.
Obviously, they didn't know that the pork could be cleaned up like this.
Bones are bones, meat is meat, and they are also summarized and organized according to different parts of pork.
This is much better than cutting the meat into quarters and leaving it randomly.
After Zhou Zheng divided the meat, he began to plan for the marinade.
If you make this marinade yourself, you will need a lot of seasonings.
Fortunately, this kitchen is the canteen of the county party committee. What seasoning is not there?
With the combined capabilities of a county, all the necessary seasonings can be prepared.
Generally speaking, marinades must include various seasonings, such as bay leaves, star anise, cumin, licorice, galangal, cardamom, etc. There are almost a dozen kinds of spices, plus rock sugar and soy sauce, which are used as coloring seasonings.
Zhou Zheng planned to put the pig's tail and some other ingredients into the marinade so that they could be easily prepared into a platter.
Seeing him use these seasonings to make the base of the marinade, Master Kang also chimed in:
"Are you going to make brine?"
"right."
"That's nothing unusual."
"Yes, it's nothing special."
Zhou Zheng grabbed the seasonings with his hands and put them into a bag.
When you have put most of the things in, close the bag.
This bag is made of gauze.
After they are done, soak them in water, just like boiling Chinese medicine.
However, this Chinese medicine is bitter and is used to treat diseases.
The marinade is fragrant, and soaking it like this is also to better release the aroma of the spices.
The braised meat not only tastes better, but also more fragrant.
Since Zhou Zheng was invited as foreign aid, Master Kong was very curious to see what he would do.
At noon that day, the leaders of the agencies would have lunch.
Zhou Zhengji was mainly responsible for cooking for the county leaders.
So he really wanted to know what Zhou Zheng would do.
After Zhou Zheng soaked the marinade, he lit an unlit honeycomb coal stove.
Obviously, this stove will be used for braising meat.
Then he went to prepare other dishes.
In this era, there are not many ingredients that can be used for cooking.
For this office meeting, each person's meal allowance is about 0.8 cents.
The leader gets a little more, 70 cents.
In other words, the standard price for a table of people is seven dollars.
Compared with ordinary people, this standard is really high.
After all, the meat is only 70 cents a pound, not counting the meat ticket.
Seven dollars can buy ten kilograms of meat.
So you can’t just eat pork, you can also eat chicken, fish, duck and other foods.
Zhou Zheng planned to make a shredded ginger duck for lunch that day, with more vegetarian dishes, stir-fried choy sum, mixed shredded vegetables, twice-cooked pork with green onion sprouts, and fermented black beans.
All the dishes were prepared by Zhou Zheng alone.
He also prepared a spinach soup.
To prevent spinach from becoming astringent, blanch it lightly in water first. This way, the astringent taste will be gone when you cook it.
While Zhou Zheng was cooking, Master Kang and his apprentices were frying a big pot of food.
Because they serve the general township cadres who come to the meeting.
There are hundreds of people.
There were only about seven or eight leaders, so they couldn't sit at one table, but the food tasted definitely different.
Among them was the head of Kaiyuan Township, Hu.
After all, it was he who found Zhou Zheng.
Township head Hu and county party secretary Zhang Liao chatted as they walked towards a private room in the cafeteria.
