Chapter 4

In summer, the temperature is high and the water is easy to turn on. Before long, the water in the big iron pot boils. After the material package rolls, the color of the soup turns yellowish. At the same time, the faint smell of spice also spread in the air.

At the beginning of the stew, use high heat. After boiling, use low heat to make the soup bubbling, but not boiling. The reason is the same as that for stew. The purpose is to make the protein on the surface of the meat clot quickly. In this way, it is not easy for meat flavor substances to penetrate into the soup. Once the meat is slightly firm, skim off the foam, it's time to use a light fire.

The advantage of light fire is that the oil slick is not easy to roll, and the air pressure is formed in the pot, which not only keeps the temperature of the broth, but also makes the aroma of the broth not easy to volatilize and run away. The stew is fast cooked, and the meat quality is relatively soft.

It's not suitable to put salt at this time. Otherwise, the liquid salt in the cells is low, the salt in the soup outside is high, and the cells are easy to dehydrate, which will make the meat tight and affect the taste.

The meat was blanched in boiling water in advance, and Hu Shuxiang washed it in advance. But even so, in the big iron pot rolled a few times, also produced oil foam. Hu Shuxiang skimmed the fence clean, pressed on the iron grate, and then put on the iron mound to hold it down.

"Master, do you smell anything?" Cui Shufen sniffed.

"Which pot of our stewed meat doesn't smell good?" Hu Shuxiang said and sprinkled a handful of Hawthorn slices into it. "If this pot of meat is not finished, let's go to other places to buy a pot of old soup!"

"Try again. That pot of soup will cost thousands." Cui Shufen is distressed when she mentions this. This pot of old soup was bought from outside more than ten years ago. It took 800 years, and after more than ten years, it has become the authentic soup. But who knows because he Feifei's bowl of vinegar was completely destroyed.

"Let's make a fire." Hu Xiaolin is more nervous than them. This is the spring in the magic valley. If there is no other effect except good drink, you can only chop wood like a silly boy with an axe.

This time is also the pork, the advantage of this part of the pork is fat and thin uniform, is the preferred choice of stewed meat lovers.

The marinated meat at home does not contain nitrate, nor does it contain tender meat powder. Both are chemicals that destroy the meat. Hawthorn is a natural seasoning, in which lipase and hawthorn acid can promote fat decomposition, improve the activity of proteolytic enzyme, can play a roll rotten easy to mature effect.

With the passage of time, the flavor of the soup pot also gradually volatilized. For a time, the whole yard was full of meat flavor. Hu Shuxiang also couldn't sit still. He walked around the soup pot and rubbed his hands from time to time. Xiao Lin, did you add something to the water

"Nothing." Hu Xiaolin's brain melon seeds shake like a rattle drum, but he can't talk big.

More than ten minutes later, Hu Shuxiang picked up the iron hook to test the degree of raw and cooked meat. There is also a standard for this. The hook can be easily inserted to the end.

"It's done!" Hu Shuxiang tried and motioned Hu Xiaolin to stop the fire. After taking down the grate, he couldn't wait to get a piece of it and ran into the kitchen Voice down, he ran out with a plate, "you try, we before the meat is not so fragrant."

"Really?" Xiao Shufen's eyes brightened, but she didn't care about the dust on her hands. She squeezed a piece of it and put it into her mouth. At that time, his eyes widened, "it's Xiang. I haven't eaten such delicious meat in my life! As a family leader, we can make money again. "

Hu Xiaolin, who was worried, put his heart into his stomach. He held back his surprise and clapped his hands to pick up a piece of meat.

The steaming meat just entered the mouth, and the unique taste swept the mouth. After chewing carefully, we found that the flavor of all kinds of spices are integrated into the marinated meat. We can even feel the sweetness of Valley spring water and the slightly acid of wild hawthorn.

The stewed meat cooked by Valley spring is fragrant and not greasy. The skin is rotten and the meat is tender. It tastes mellow and fragrant. The fat meat is not greasy and the lean meat is not stuffed. All kinds of flavors blend with each other and seem to be natural.

Even if the pot of old soup at home before, also did not cook such a delicious world. Hu Xiaolin carefully Bata a few times, than when he was in school in the city to eat mixed with the smoke shell marinated meat also fragrant.

"If we just put the pot meat in the town, we can beat them all." Hu Shuxiang, who was elated, took a few mouthfuls of his pipe and said, "wait for a pot. Let's save more money to build a new house for Xiaolin."

"You don't have to pay for our new house." Hu Xiaolin is more confident.

"What's wrong with you?" Hu Shuxiang glared at her, looked at Cui Shufen and said, "see, you are used to it!"

"Dad, you are still in the world. Don't you think that if you build a new house for us, will Xiaoya still say that we have no ability? " Hu Xiaolin rolled his eyes.

"Why don't we just pass on the craft to you?" Hu Shuxiang looked at him up and down. It seemed that he was sensible.

"I don't want to do this all my life!" Hu Xiaolin turned his back and said, "besides, Qiaogou town only sells 18 kilos of stewed meat. We only earn one yuan after cutting off the cost and tax. We don't have much money in a year. "

"How much do you think we can sell this meat?" Hu Shuxiang also murmured that such delicious stewed meat was a little cheap."We have to think about it." Hu Xiaolin thinks that if the stewed meat is done, it will be more reliable than cutting down trees to sell money. There are 80 local mountain pigs in the whole mushroom village. When the time comes, they will all be collected, slaughtered and sent to the city to exchange money.

It can also make the villagers earn more money and have a good reputation, killing two birds with one stone.

He spent the whole afternoon cooking meat for his parents at home. Hu Shuxiang and his wife were greatly relieved by this. They also said that when their son grew up, he knew how to solve his family's problems.

When it was almost dark, one hundred jin of stewed meat was finished. Hu Shuxiang and Cui Shufen are going to water the vegetables in the garden, while Hu Xiaolin goes to the pig farm.

But who knows, just out of the alley, they found that the villagers looked at him with strange eyes. A few women in the distance pointed to him and muttered, and some idle people who were close to him also laughed obscenely.

Hu Xiaolin has not gone far. He Feifei, whose face is green and red, stands in front of him. "Hu Xiaolin, you must apologize to me!"
