59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.

Chen Hao, Hu Bayi, Wang Pangzi and others were boiling water as the kettle came out of white steam. Chen Hao held the kettle and poured water on the surface of the pig's stomach placed in a large wooden basin. At this time, the pig's internal organs had been taken out and the pig could be soaked in boiling water.

The reason for watering is mainly because the water temperature is too high and will damage the pork.

This is actually cooling down, allowing the boiling hot water to cool down quickly. By the time it is poured on the pig skin, the temperature is about 80 degrees Celsius, which is just right.

"Where's the scraper?"

Fatty Wang searched for a minute or two but couldn't find it. It was Hu Bayi who remembered where he had put it last time and took it out from the cabinet on the side of the kitchen and living room.

"Lily, watch me shave!"

Using a hot hair scraper is the fastest way to remove wild boar hair. It is much faster than scissors, burning, or soldering irons, but it is more laborious.

In addition, the water temperature in the wooden basin is relatively high, and there is constant water vapor, which makes it a bit hot when you get close to it.

"Brother Fatty, please be gentle when scraping. Don't scrape off the meat." Chen Li said worriedly. "This pig is so small. It's not as big as before."

"How can it be!"

Fatty Wang shaved first, and the areas that could not be shaved clean were handed over to Chen Hao and Hu Bayi to pluck out.

The old man sat aside with a smile, warming himself by the fire, listening to the radio, and watching the little ones unite as one and work hard to deal with the little wild boar.

"Fatty, use a little more strength. Many hairs are still intact." Chen Hao doesn't like plucking wild boar hair. It is more troublesome than plucking pheasant and duck feathers.

Although the fluff of wild ducks is also annoying, ducks are only so big.

"Lily said, don't scrape too hard. If you scratch the skin, you'll lose a piece of meat."

Chen Feng and Chen Jianjun dismembered the pig's feet. The latter used a boning knife to cut it into several pieces. According to the requirements of roasting pig's feet, it had to be cut into two halves for easier heating.

"Do you really want to roast the pig's trotters?" Zhou Qing saw Chen Jianjun cut up all four pig's trotters and said, "Leave two to cook. The bones are more nutritious when cooked."

"There are only four in total. If you cut it in half, it will only be eight. They will have to have one each." Chen Jianjun said with a smile, "It just so happens that I also want to eat some."

He glanced at the old lady cooking at the stove and said in a low voice, "I went to see Jianguo the day before yesterday, and he told me that he missed Xiaofeng's barbecue. I'll send him one tonight."

Since her husband said so, Zhou Qing naturally stopped asking for more.

"Lily, go get some wood."

"Ok!"

Chen Li simply went to pick up the wood that Chen Feng had brought back before. These woods were not golden nanmu, but firewood that Chen Feng collected from the countryside under the excuse of going out.

There is no way. Coal contains sulfur, and there is always a peculiar smell when cooking or eating, not to mention barbecue.

It's not poisonous, but it spoils the taste.

Chen Feng simply used a tricycle to bring back a few trucks from outside the city. All of them were made by decomposing the wood grown in the space and had already been dried.

"Big pot, this wood doesn't smell good." Chen Li put the firewood next to the iron oven. "If I use my mother's wood to cook, will the meat smell good?"

The sawdust from the golden nanmu trees that Chen Feng had cut down before became fuel for the two incense burners in the old man and Chen Jianjun's houses.

When this thing burns, it does not produce a pungent burnt smell, but a light fragrance, purer and more delicate than the incense in the temple, like a feast for the sense of smell.

The old man usually didn't want to use them, but because Zhou Qing was pregnant and often woke up at night, he had a box of them.

Chen Li went to her parents' house many times, so she naturally learned from her parents that the source of the fragrance was the burning of sawdust.

"Haha, forget about that. Even the ancient emperors were reluctant to use nanmu wood to grill meat." Chen Feng smiled and picked up a piece of wood and placed it above the coal stove. Soon the wood ignited, and then he put the wood back into the oven.

Using wood is naturally much slower, and there are all kinds of small problems.

Because most wood-fired barbecues will cause unburned charcoal to adhere to the meat, which will ruin the taste; some substances burned by charcoal are harmful to health.

But it is easy to avoid. Placing a baking tray on top of the oven can reduce smoke and blackening.

The best barbecue material is still charcoal.

However, most cities use cheap coal. Firewood and charcoal are still too expensive compared to the price of coal, which is five or six cents per kilogram, so ordinary people generally do not use them.

Chen Li watched Chen Feng constantly adding wood and igniting it with the high temperature of the coal stove. She always felt that it was too slow and couldn't help blowing at the wood in the oven.

Little foodies will do something stupid just for a bite of food.

"Lily, go get that iron plate, the one your sister Hua used to grill meat."

The grill pan was brought by Zhang Haixing, specifically to improve the side effects of Chen Feng's barbecue fuel. Compared to the simple requirements of the Chen family (just having meat to eat), Miss Zhang actually has quite high requirements for quality of life.

"I know, a barbecue plate!"

Without Chen Feng's explanation, Chen Li happily took the plate and put it on the oven herself. She also did not forget to get the commonly used barbecue oil bottle, which was prepared by Sha Zhu and could be used directly for brushing.

Put eight pig's trotters on, brush them with oil, and all that's left is to wait for them to be baked and turned over.

"Eat first, and we'll deal with it later."

After the old lady finished cooking, she urged Chen Feng and the others to wash their hands. Without waiting for Chen Hao to get some water, the little foodie rushed over with the basin and rushed to get cold water for his eldest brother and father.

She wanted to open the kettle, but her family didn't dare let her do it.

If you break a bottle or burn your feet, you will really have to take a day off.

"Let me get it." Zhou Qing rushed to pick up the kettle and poured out some of the hot water that had been boiled on the coal stove during the day.

"Mom, it's not hot." Chen Li couldn't help but test the water temperature. She was afraid of getting scalded, so she carefully wiped the surface of the water and put it away immediately.

"That's good. Give it to your father."

"Big pot, wash your hands!"

The father who was waving to his little girl felt extremely sad!

He isn't dead yet, can't you see him waving his big hands?

Chen Li happily carried the basin of water to Chen Feng, and did not forget to show off her contribution, saying: "Big pot, I tried it, the water is neither hot nor cold."

Chen Feng smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to wash his hands, he felt murderous intent from the side. He turned his head and looked over, and immediately became very polite.

"Dad, please go first!"

"Humph!"

Chen Daer squatted down proudly and took the number one position.

Chen Li stared at the pig's head, mainly at the pig's ears. She liked pig's head meat very much, but she liked the pig's ears even more.

Chen Jianjun washed his hands, stood up and couldn't help pinching his daughter's face, which made Chen Li hide on the other side of Chen Feng in disgust.

"Dad, you're annoying!"

"Ha, who promised you roasted pig's trotters just now?" Chen Jianjun teased.

"It's a big pot!" Chen Li said very affirmatively.

The father felt like his daughter had stabbed him in the heart.

"Haha, stop looking and go get your grandma some food." The old man laughed and ordered.

"Grandpa, but I want to eat pig ears and roasted pig's feet." Chen Li was reluctant to forget these two dishes. She couldn't eat the pig ears, and her real purpose was the pig's feet.

"Eat dinner first. This pig's trotter can't be eaten now."
