Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

How can people nowadays be so smart? Zhong Ruyi couldn't help but sigh: Pig offal is not expensive, people buy it and add it to noodles, and a bowl of noodles that usually costs 15 wen can be sold for 20 wen, this is really a good business.

"Should we agree to the reservation she mentioned?" said the second sister-in-law after hesitating.

Zhong Ruyi explained the pros and cons of accepting reservations to her second brother and his wife, "We can wait for a while, until the customer base is stable and we have a good idea of ​​how much we sell every day, and then decide whether to accept reservations."

They felt that what their younger sister said was feasible, so they both agreed. After all, it was quite tiring to bring so much pig offal back for washing every day.

It was already past four in the afternoon when Zhong Ruyi finished eating the food bought by her second sister-in-law. She thought of the two rabbits she bought yesterday and quickly ran into the kitchen to check on them. She hadn't noticed them while working in the morning and just remembered them now. She didn't know whether they were dead or alive.

Zhong Ruyi pulled the cage outside and saw through the gap that the two rabbits were in good spirits. However, the bottom of the cage was covered with feces. The vegetable leaves put in yesterday had all been eaten, so she took some more leaves and put them in.

Otherwise, just cook and eat them now, just do it!

However, she still felt a little reluctant to deal with the two rabbits, so she called her second brother and asked him to help deal with the two rabbits.

When her second brother was done, he gave her two cleaned rabbits. She weighed them in her hands and thought the combined weight of the two rabbits should be about five pounds. She planned to eat the rabbits cold!

After chopping into pieces, wash it several times, wash it clean and squeeze out the water, then you can start adding seasonings. Add more salt so that the meat has enough base flavor. Pour some white wine, chopped green onion and ginger, then mix it with your hands to make every piece of rabbit meat taste good. When it's ready, put it aside and marinate for about half an hour.

Next, pour some white wine on the spices for the marinade, including bay leaves, cinnamon, star anise, and fennel, and set them aside after wetting them. Take out the wild peppercorns and dried chilies that you brought from home, cut the dried chilies into sections, and sift out the chili seeds after cutting.

When you are ready, boil water in a pot, put the chopped peppers in and boil them. When the water boils, take them out and set them aside to drain. After wiping the pot clean, pour in the oil. Pour more oil at once to prevent the oil from being absorbed. Pour the green onions and ginger in and fry them. Take them out when they are dry.

The second sister-in-law was watching nearby, and Zhong Ruyi asked her to help pick out the onions from the pickled rabbit meat. When the oil in the pot was heated up, the rabbit meat was poured in. When the rabbit meat touched the boiling hot oil, it sizzled and fried. Then, stir-fry it to dry out the moisture in the oil. After frying for a long time, when the oil was fried clear, you could start adding seasoning.

Wild peppercorns and spices. It would be better if the spices could be ground into powder, so that the rabbit meat would be more flavorful and delicious. After stir-frying for a few minutes, when the aroma of the spices slowly comes out, pour in the dried chilies and continue stir-frying.

Her hands were already feeling sore after frying for a while, so her second sister-in-law volunteered to do it. She was already craving the aroma as she stood nearby.

The second sister-in-law took over and Zhong Ruyi was watching nearby. Seeing that the oil had turned a little red, she took out the chili powder that Zhong's mother had ground earlier and poured it in to continue stir-frying. When it turned completely red, Zhong Ruyi asked the second sister-in-law to pick a piece for her to try to see how salty it was. After tasting it, she felt that it was about right and that she could add a little bit of sugar and salt to adjust the flavor appropriately.

Finally, add a bowl of water and wait for the meat to absorb the flavor. When you are ready to serve, drizzle a little vinegar on the side of the pot. A little vinegar is fine, as the sour taste of the vinegar will be fully stimulated.

Poured into a large wooden basin, the aroma was fragrant. The second brother couldn't wait any longer and had been walking back and forth outside the kitchen. When he saw Zhong Ruyi coming out with the large wooden basin, he immediately ran up and said, "I'll do it, I'll do it!" He snatched the wooden basin from his younger sister's hand and went to the dining table in the store.

The three of them gathered around the pot of rabbit meat and swallowed their saliva at the same time.

The second brother said, "Can I eat now, little sister?"

Zhong Ruyi found it a little funny to see her second brother drooling because of greed. Although cold rabbit is eaten cold, it can also be eaten hot. It will be softer when hot, while it will be harder, drier and chewier when cold.

Just when the second sister-in-law took over, Zhong Ruyi cooked another pot of multi-grain rice, which is now just cooked. The spicy and delicious cold rabbit is simply a perfect accompaniment to rice.

The three of them could not finish five pounds of rabbit meat, after all, they had just eaten sesame cakes and buns. After asking her younger sister for permission, Mrs. Zhong gave a large bowl of it to the owner of the tea shop next door. The rest was saved for tomorrow, and it would be delicious when eaten with steamed buns.

When the second sister-in-law carried the bowl over, the tea shop next door had already closed the shop. The proprietress's daughter-in-law came out to open the door. When she saw it was the second sister-in-law, a smile appeared on her face, and she quickly opened the door a little to let her in.

"This is new food made by my younger sister. She made a lot, but there are only three of us in our family and we can't finish it, so I brought some over for you to try." The second sister-in-law also smiled. The owner of the tea shop is a nice person. She has been taking good care of her family since she came. The owner's family members are also nice, and her daughter-in-law is very capable.

The owner of the tea shop was surnamed Zhao, and his wife was surnamed Chen. Everyone called her Aunt Chen. She had a son and a daughter. The daughter married to a man in the next county and only came back once in a long time. The son married Yu Huiniang, his childhood sweetheart.

At this time, Yu Huiniang looked embarrassed, "I always eat your food, you see how embarrassing it is, I'll get you some bags of tea to take back."

As she said that, she went to the inner room. Mrs. Zhong stopped her quickly, "No, no, I haven't finished the few bags of tea you gave me last time. If you take a few more bags, how long will it take to finish drinking them?"

Seeing that Mrs. Zhong really didn't want it, Yu Hui Niang could only stop and took the bowl handed to her by Mrs. Zhong. As soon as she took it, she smelled a fragrance that was a bit pungent. She couldn't help but ask Mrs. Zhong curiously.

"What kind of food is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"

Mrs. Zhong couldn't hide her pride, she suppressed her smile and said, "This is a new invention of my younger sister. The braised food that my family is selling now was also her idea." Mrs. Zhong felt that her younger sister had not used her brain for the past ten years, but now that she was sober, didn't she have a sudden burst of inspiration?

The two chatted for a few words and then Mrs. Zhong went back. Not long after she left, the proprietress Chen, who had just finished bathing her grandson, came out covered in sweat. When she saw her daughter-in-law closing the door, she knew someone had just been there, so she casually asked, "Who was here?"

"The Zhong family next door brought some food over."

When Chen heard that it was food, her eyes lit up. The braised food that the Zhong family next door had been selling recently was bought by her family several times. Both adults and children in the family liked to eat it. Chen thought it was braised offal, but when it was time to eat, when it was served on the table, she saw a big bowl of black and red stuff with meat mixed in it.

The Zhao family had dinner a little late, and by the time they ate, the big bowl of cold rabbit had already gone completely cold, which was just the right texture for the meal.
