Chapter 159 Braised Pork
Lin He'er was unaware that Liu Guisheng's family had been turned upside down because of a single sentence she uttered.
They're busy figuring out the right spice mix right now!
The most important thing for making delicious braised meat is the braising spice packet!
Lin He'er took the seasonings she bought and, based on her memories from her previous life, put them into a steamer cloth in the kitchen, then tied the steamer cloth tightly, making a simple seasoning packet!
Mom, are the chickens and ducks ready? And is the pork belly cleaned?
Okay, okay!
Seeing the grand preparations her daughter-in-law was making, Liu knew that the braised meat she was making today must have taken a lot of effort!
Mother, besides this meat, go and buy some tofu too!
Okay, I'll put the things in the basin for you. You can tidy up first, and I'll go to the village to pick up a piece of tofu!
Following her daughter-in-law's instructions, Liu took the money and went to the village to buy tofu!
Today, Lin He'er is not only making braised pork, but also braised pork belly!
There isn't enough pork belly to make square-cut pork, but it's just right for braised pork belly!
Lin He'er worked quickly, separating the chicken and duck with a knife and cutting the pork belly into large, moderately thick slices!
After starting the fire, fill the pot with water and blanch the prepared meat and vegetables to remove any blood foam.
After boiling the large slices of meat until they are half-cooked, fry them in an iron pot. This way, the braised pork can be put directly into the braising broth in a little while!
After frying the meat, I washed the iron pot again, filled it with water, and threw the chicken, duck, and large slices of meat directly into the water, along with some eggs.
Adding eggs was a sudden thought! Thinking of the braised eggs from her previous life, Lin He'er felt she should try it too. After all, everything can be braised!
Once all the braised goods are in the iron pot, just add the prepared spice packet, soy sauce, sugar, and salt. Then the braised goods are ready to be cooked!
After doing all that, we also bought Liu's tofu!
He'er, is there anything else you need to do?
When Liu went out for a while, she saw that her daughter-in-law had already put everything into the pot. She thought her daughter-in-law was very quick and efficient!
Mom, add the tofu later. This pot of braised food will take a long time to cook!
Then you go and rest, I'll watch the fire!
Liu couldn't stay idle, so she chased her daughter-in-law away and took over the kitchen herself!
Mother, keep the fire low. It will take about half an hour to cook. When it's time, come to the room and call me!
Okay, I understand. You can go and rest now!
After giving her instructions to her mother-in-law, Lin He'er went back to her room to rest for a while!
Liu sat by the stove, keeping an eye on the fire from time to time, and also prepared dinner in advance!
As the time drew to a close, the aroma of the meat in the pot became increasingly tempting!
This meat smells so good!
It's all boiled meat, but why does it smell so good today? It tastes completely different from usual!
He'er, come and see, isn't the meat almost ready?
Without leaving the kitchen, Liu shouted at the top of her lungs.
Mother is here!
Lin He'er came out of the room and entered the kitchen, where she smelled the long-lost aroma of meat!
Mom, lift the pot lid and poke the meat with chopsticks to see if it's cooked through!
Alright, Liu listened to her daughter-in-law's instructions, took the chopsticks and stuck them into the meat. The chopsticks went in very easily!
The lotus flowers are ripe!
Okay, Mom, I'll break the tofu into big chunks and put them in, then cook it for a while longer!
After Lin He'er finished cleaning up the tofu, she didn't leave the kitchen. She waited with Liu Shi for a while, and when she felt it was about time, she asked Liu Shi to turn off the fire!
He then took a wooden basin and scooped all the braised food and broth into it!
I grabbed a clean piece of dough and covered it with it!
He'er, aren't you going to eat?
Liu thought that once the meat was cooked, she could taste it, but to her surprise, her daughter-in-law covered it up again!
It's not ready yet, Mother. This meat needs to sit overnight to absorb the flavors before we can eat it tomorrow!
Alright! Liu expressed her regret at not being able to eat it right away!
Looks like I'll have to wait another night!
Liu didn't sleep well last night, and she ate her dinner rather perfunctorily, not for any other reason than that she kept thinking about the meat she cooked last night!
It wasn't that I was greedy, it was just that the aroma of the meat was too tempting!
As soon as Lin He'er got up today, Madam Liu stared at her daughter-in-law with eager eyes!
Okay, I understand!
Mom, the braised food should be ready. Shall we take it out and have a taste?
Liu; perhaps you could try it?
Finally, when her daughter-in-law asked to try the braised pork, Liu called all the family members to the table!
What are you doing? I just finished breakfast!
Wen Dazhuang got up early and ate breakfast early. When his wife called him to sit down at the table again, he wondered if he wanted to have another meal.
Just you wait! You talk too much!
Liu glared at the head of the household and craned her neck to look into the kitchen.
After soaking in the braising liquid overnight, the braised meat was now fully colored. Lin He'er took a large bowl and scooped some of the braised meat out of the basin!
Everyone, please try it and see how it tastes!
Lin He'er placed the large bowl on the table and then sat down herself.
The people at the table looked into the bowl, where the meat had turned a deep red color!
Liu took a chicken wing first. "He'er, shall we eat it straight away?"
Yes, you can just eat it directly!
As Lin He'er spoke, she also took a braised egg!
Liu smelled the chicken wing in her hand. It didn't have the strong meaty aroma of yesterday, but it still had a unique flavor!
Bite into the thickest part of the chicken wing!
The chicken meat was chewy, not mushy, and had a nice aroma, but the taste was quite strange!
It has a medicinal herb aroma, mixed with the smell of meat!
Liu took bite after bite, and soon a wing was gone!
It's surprisingly delicious! The chicken tastes very different from what I usually eat. Although it has a medicinal flavor, I actually find it tasty!
I was worried that my daughter-in-law would add so many herbs to the pot, but the taste turned out to be quite unique!
Delicious! That's what Ms. Liu said!
Lin He'er tasted the braised egg in her hand. The egg had been soaking overnight, and the egg white was very elastic. The braising liquid had changed the color of the egg.
I took a bite of the egg white, and mmm, it tasted pretty good!
To be honest, it's not as good as the braised meat sold in real braised food shops as it was in my previous life, but it's still about 80% authentic!
After all, the recipe for my homemade braised food was found online in my previous life. Even if the recipe is publicly available, it may not have all the necessary ingredients, but at least it tastes pretty good.
Lin He'er only ate one braised egg; the rest of the braised food in the bowl had already been eaten by her family!
He'er, this braised food is incredibly delicious! If we also ordered some wine, it would be perfect!
Although Wen Dazhuang had eaten breakfast, after tasting the braised meat, he couldn't resist and ate until he was stuffed!
Dad, this braised food is definitely the best accompaniment to alcohol!
Wen Yuning and Wen Yuyu also said that the food was delicious and could definitely be made and sold!
However, since they are all meat, the price cannot be too low if they are to be sold!
In fact, besides meat, we can also braise bean products and other vegetables like leafy greens!
Selling the two together should balance the price!
Liu never imagined that she could also braise vegetables. If she were to braise bean products and sell them along with vegetables, it would indeed be feasible!
Are we going to collect the chickens and ducks from the village?
Liu was still thinking about the ultimate purpose of making these braised dishes.
Mom, let's think this over at home first, and then we'll give the village an answer later!
Wen Yuning had other plans in mind and did not intend to implement them immediately!
Okay, you and He'er should discuss it first, and then we'll go and give the village our reply!
