The little girl from a farm family has a big wish to make a fortune by farming and picking mushrooms
Chapter 168 Braised Pork
"That's perfect. I want to make some braised pork and I need some rock sugar. Why don't you give it to me?"
"Okay, I'll get it for you later."
Old Mrs. Zhou put the meat on the chopping board and prepared to get it for her.
Zhou Mingshu gestured the amount of pork belly to be served on a plate, and with two quick cuts, he cut off more than half of the meat.
"My God, does one dish need so much meat?"
Liu exclaimed, "How much meat does this contain?"
"Yeah, that's how braised pork is, you need lots of meat."
After she cut the pork belly into equal-sized pieces, she went on to prepare the other ingredients.
When she came back, she had a handful of green vegetables in her hand.
Without waiting for others to prepare the meal, Zhou Mingshu took the lead and started to light the fire to make braised pork.
"Wow, she hasn't eaten pork belly for several months. This time she finally has the chance... roo roo roo ~ happy ~"
She cheered in her heart but didn't show it on her face. She started to boil water and cook the meat.
Liu and her family prepared other dishes. They first boiled the soup, and then fried the vegetables after the soup was ready.
Zhou Lao Dalu has already started building the stove.
Because the pot we ordered is relatively large, it takes up a relatively large space.
Zhou Mingshu was very anxious, as she had something else to say.
"Mother, please help me watch the pan first. Call me when the meat inside is fried until the surface is golden brown."
She wiped her hands, ran back into the house, and took out the oven diagram she had prepared.
Then he gave a brief account to the three brothers of the Zhou family.
Zhou Laosan is quite knowledgeable in this area and also put forward several suggestions based on his own ideas.
Zhou Mingshu adopted all of them.
The oven was built next to the stove, but it couldn't fit inside the shed, so it had to be built outdoors.
It’s nothing, it doesn’t matter if it’s windy or rainy.
Seeing that everyone understood, Zhou Mingshu returned to the kitchen with peace of mind.
Add the prepared spices into the pot, pour in boiling water to cover the ingredients, and all that’s left is to cook over high heat.
Is braised pork easy to make?
She washed the green vegetables, sprinkled some into the braised pork after it was cooked, and then stir-fried it before serving.
The braised pork is bright red and the green vegetables are lush green.
The impact of the colors alone makes everyone feel that this dish must be delicious.
Not to mention the aroma of meat that hits your nose.
"Oh, this smells really good. It smells sweet to me."
"Yeah, I smelled it too. San Ya added some rock sugar just now, so it might have a sweet taste."
"This whole plate of meat, with all its red and green colors, looks very festive."
The three sisters-in-law smiled so much at the sight of such delicious meat.
To be honest, I have never eaten vegetables with such a high meat content in my life. It is the same whether I sprinkle a handful of green vegetables or not.
"Let me try it and see if it tastes good."
Zhou Mingshu took the lead in eating a piece. "Not bad, not bad, soft and delicious, fat but not greasy, moderately salty and sweet, delicious~"
Hearing all this praise, the Liu family members all laughed out loud.
"Wang Po is selling melons and bragging about herself."
Although they said this, they also believed in San Ya's craftsmanship.
After putting the braised pork aside, they started cooking.
The dishes they prepared were fried eggs with long beans, stir-fried loofah with meat, and stir-fried eggplant.
It was very hot in the kitchen. After Zhou Mingshu finished his work, he didn't want to stay any longer, so he went to the yard to help his elder sister and brother heat the porcelain bottles.
"This porcelain bottle came at the right time. It will definitely fill up the wormwood paste in the basin."
"Haha, that's right. After we finish installing, do we still have time to make soap?"
Zhou Mingqi is still thinking about making soap.
"If you have time, don't worry. Soap is easy to make, and many materials are readily available. It won't take much time."
Zhou Mingshu asked her to be patient.
"That's fine."
Five people took action and quickly washed the porcelain bottles.
All that’s left is bottling.
Zhou Mingshu planned to finish this work even if he didn't sleep at noon today.
Almost an hour has passed since Boss Zhou returned.
The stove is ready, but the oven my niece wants to make is not yet completed.
The things needed inside are a bit complicated, and they have never made it before, so the brothers plan to add more straw mud to help keep it warm.
They washed their hands and faces and planned to continue their work in the afternoon.
Old Mrs. Zhou took a rake and raked the wheat back and forth twice to allow the wheat to be heated evenly so that it would dry faster.
I just soaked some mung beans, and I have to take some time to grind soy milk in the afternoon.
I am busy all day long.
Finally, lunch began.
Dishes were brought to the table one after another. The one that surprised everyone the most was the plate of crystal braised pork. The sunlight shone through the leaves, making the skin of the braised pork sparkle.
"Such a big piece of meat, my mouth can't fit it."
Zhou Minghua walked to the table and took a look. His childish voice made everyone laugh.
"Haha, it's good that it can't be stuffed in anymore. It's good that it can't be stuffed in anymore."
Old Mrs. Zhou said with a smile.
As a farmer, the more we eat, the better.
Everyone picked up their chopsticks and each person could take two pieces of the braised pork, which were quickly divided up.
“It’s so delicious, I can’t even eat enough.”
Zhou Mingyuan's mouth was full of oil from eating, and he didn't have time to wipe it off.
"If you like it, we can make it next time. Don't eat too much braised pork at one time, otherwise your stomach won't be able to handle it and you'll feel sick. Two pieces is enough."
Listening to his sister's words, Zhou Mingyuan nodded. When he bit the meat, a lot of oil would indeed flow out. His sister was right.
The remaining dishes were also delicious and everyone was eating with great enthusiasm.
The meat slices in the stir-fried loofah with meat are slightly curled by the iron pan, with a hint of burnt aroma, paired with the fresh and soft loofah, and a little chopped chili, it is a great dish to go with rice and is very delicious.
There was only a layer of oil left on the braised pork plate, and Mrs. Zhou took the plate aside.
The oil in here can be used to stir-fry a dish in the evening, so don’t waste it.
After dinner, Mrs. Zhou arranged the work.
"Dazhi, your sisters are busy with their business, so just help herd the donkey. If they need your help, just answer. Xiaojie, you too, don't run around. Every household in the village is busy, so there are no children to play with you."
"Got it, grandma."
"It's so hot, I don't want to go out and play."
Honestly, isn't it nice to stay in the cool room?
After the two brothers finished their meal, they took the donkey out to feed it.
They have always been very obedient and would do their best to help whenever the family needs them.
Old Mrs. Zhou took Zhou Minghua back to the main room to rest.
Others were also cleaning up the mess from lunch.
Zhou Mingshu washed his hands and feet, refreshed himself and prepared to fill the porcelain bottle.
After a while, the eldest sister and the second sister also came over.
The three sisters put things in little by little, and it took them two hours to finish.
At this time, everyone was almost awake from their nap.
The yard became lively again.
