Mom takes her baby to travel through ancient times? Farming and business are both important

Several of them cook frequently, so cutting meat is no problem for them. They bring over a pot of meat every two minutes.

Even the pig's trotters were cleaned thoroughly.

"Why did you buy this thing? It doesn't have much meat on it and it's not worth the effort."

Although Qian said this, she did not stop at all and even pulled out a few hairs from the cracks of the pig's trotters.

Bai Zhizhi smiled and said, "It's going to be braised anyway, so it's just right to put it together with the meat, so it won't be a big deal."

Bai Zhizhi added appropriate amount of cold water to the pot, then put a few pig's trotters directly in, and added some spices to remove the fishy smell.

Pig's trotters are a little harder to cook, so put them in first and cook for a while before adding other meat.

This step is mainly for blanching, which can simply remove the blood foam on the meat and make the meat less fishy.

It is not necessary to cook the meat directly when blanching. As long as the water boils, you can start skimming the foam on the pot. When there is no more foam in the pot, you can take it out.

After taking it out, rinse it with clean water and set it aside.

Then comes the step of frying the sugar color. This step is relatively important and somewhat difficult for Bai Zhizhi, so she has to be especially careful when doing it.

First put a little oil at the bottom of the pot, then add appropriate amount of sugar and water, and stir-fry slowly over medium-low heat. This step can be said to be slow and fast at the same time. As long as you pay attention to these when stir-frying and don't overcook, there will be no problem.

Bai Zhizhi got through this step without any danger and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then comes the most critical step of braising meat, the base of the pot.

"This step must be carefully observed, as it determines whether the final product is delicious or not, so you must not be careless."

As Bai Zhizhi spoke, she put things into the pot. First, she stir-fried various spices such as peppers, then added water and simmered it over low heat.

When it’s almost done, add seasonings for color and flavor, and finally put in various spices.

Then put the meat prepared earlier into the pot.

"At this point, the marinade in the pot is almost done, so you don't have to worry about the meat being cooked unevenly."

While Bai Zhizhi was doing it, she didn't forget to give them some instructions, for fear that they would not be able to remember what she forgot to say.

"By the time we get to this point, we're almost there. The overall process is basically complete, and all that's left is time."

Bai Zhizhi glanced out the window as she spoke, but unfortunately she couldn't clearly tell what time it was.

This was a bad thing in ancient times. It would have been better if people had an alarm clock, a watch or something like that.

Bai Zhizhi sighed inwardly, but still instructed, "Normally, half an hour is enough. If you cook it too long, the meat will become soft and mushy. If you cook it too short, the meat might not be cooked through. If you're unsure, just check it more often. You'll get a good idea of ​​the time after you cook it more often."

Bai Zhizhi seemed to be talking to them, or to herself. Anyway, after she said this, she covered the pot.

"Looking at it this way, it seems to be similar to braised dried tofu."

Liu muttered quietly, not thinking that there was anything strange about it. She was now very skilled in making braised dried tofu, so she didn't have to worry about the time issue.

Bai Zhizhi didn't refute her words, but just nodded, "They are all braised food, so they are essentially the same, but the braised meat is more delicate."

Anyway, she has taught all the necessary steps, and whether they can learn it or not is their business.

Whoever learns the best will be given the job. She wants to be lazy anyway.

He would rather think of new business than work.

Half an hour wasn’t a long time, and it passed quickly as a few people chatted and laughed.

The smell of braised meat was much stronger than that of braised dried tofu. The aroma quickly spread throughout the kitchen. Everyone sniffed unconsciously and stared at the stove eagerly.

"Are you ready? It should be about time, right?"

"It should be almost done."
