How to make a pig's foot?
Seeing the sun-dried lotus leaves wrapped around his thin and fat pig legs, Xiao Wen let out a smile.
He said to Zhuge Liang, "Today, Mister, I will make you a Longjiang pig's feet!"
"Long River?" Hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er's eyes lit up.
Although they lived in the north, they would not normally hear of the name Long Jiang.
But Shangguan Wan'er and Sun Shangxiang had a good relationship. She had often heard of her travels in the southern countries, and had thus heard of the Long River.
The so-called Long River, in the 21st century, was a town in the northeast of China's Great Foodie Province. Located on the left bank of the middle and lower reaches of the Long River. One of the four famous towns in eastern Guangdong, the special products "Longjiang pig feet", "Longjiang green bean cake" and so on.
And in this world, Long Jiang was originally Xiao Wen's home country, the Southern Tang. However, after the Song Dynasty invaded the Southern Tang Dynasty, Long Jiang was now owned by the Song Kingdom.
"So you want to cook hometown dishes!" Shangguan Wan'er's eyes were shining with anticipation.
Home Cuisine...
Hearing this, Xiao Wen was stunned.
Honestly speaking, although he had lived in the big foodie province for a long time in his previous life … However, he was not a big foodie.
If he had to say it, Longjiang Pig's Feet was not his hometown dish.
Of course, if he had to say that it was from his hometown, he wouldn't hesitate to eat it.
After all, the Longjiang Pig's Feet had never appeared in this world before. It was a dish that belonged to the twenty-first century. It was the same as the boiled cabbage in the Sichuan Cuisine. Since it did not appear in this world, it belonged to the twenty-first century.
As a Transcender, Xiao Wen could naturally call this time of the twenty-first century his hometown. Just as people who leave the province call the province they grew up in their hometown. Those who went abroad called their country their home.
And one day, if the people of Earth left Earth, they could also call the divine Terra their homeland as well …
Thus, there was nothing wrong with Xiao Wen calling the twenty-first century his hometown.
"Good!" I'll make this hometown dish today. "
With that, he opened the lotus leaf wrapped around the pig's feet.
After opening the lotus leaf, Xiao Wen looked at the pig's feet.
To be honest, this pig's foot was still quite unsightly when it wasn't handled properly.
This was because the fur on the pig's body had not been cleaned completely.
Thus, Xiao Wen first lit a firewood and burned all of the fur on the pig skin.
Then, he used the knife to shave the pigskin thoroughly.
After the three of them checked to make sure there wasn't even a single strand of hair on it, Xiao Wen put the pork into the water to pass the time.
"There are a lot of people who don't know how to feed a pig right now. Therefore, there were many parasites inside the pork. "If you don't clean up the pigs, you absolutely can't eat them." Xiao Wen said to Zhuge Liang and the others.
The reason why he was able to accept being pierced by a freshwater fish was because there were no parasites in the flesh of the fish — there were parasites in the flesh as well. Parasites grow in the meat. That's a matter of the fish.
As a result, regardless of whether it was pork or salted water fish, he could not express his gratitude.
After washing the pork with water and expelling the blood, Xiao Wen turned on the pressure cooker and put the ingredients he brought along with it into the pot.
Then, he picked up a chopper and cut the meat into several pieces along with the bones so that he could place them in the pressure cooker.
"Then there's oil consumption, curd milk, marmalade, octagonal, orange peel …" It wasn't the first time Xiao Wen had made a taste of brine. When he was in the clouds, he had made stewed beef from the beef Guan Yu brought him.
Therefore, Xiao Wen was quite adept at preparing ingredients and cooking ingredients.
Seeing that the brine and pig feet were both in the pot, Xiao Wen closed the lid and installed the steam valve.
Finally, he put the pressure cooker on top of the fire.
"Alright, now we just have to wait. "Because it's a pressure cooker, the meat should be ready in about an hour." Compared to the ordinary pot, the pressure cooker stew very fast. After all, the pressure inside was extremely high.
Usually, it takes only an hour or two to boil a few hours of meat in a casserole.
Thus, Xiao Wen didn't need to wait too long to be able to eat the fragrant Longjiang Pig's feet.
An hour later, Xiao Wen turned on the pressure cooker and the smell of brine immediately assaulted his nose.
On the side, the two little guys who were doing the homework Xiao Wen had given stood up as well.
"It smells so good!" "Is this the Longjiang Pig's Foot that mister mentioned?" Zhuge Liang's eyes were shining brightly as he salivated, as if he was going to pounce over and snatch this delicious meat in the next moment.
"Back in the Tang Dynasty, I heard everyone said pork was cheap. Ordinary people would definitely not eat it. "I never thought that this cheap meat would actually be so delicious." Shangguan Wan'er also sighed with emotion.
Xiao Wen looked at her and explained, "Actually, it is a little unnecessary for me to do this. After all, the seasonings needed to make these ingredients could be used to make even more delicious beef and mutton. People nowadays didn't raise pigs, but it was very difficult to get rid of the stench of pigs. There's a reason why everyone says that this is cheap meat. " Xiao Wen wouldn't blame others for not knowing anything about the taste of pork. After all, productivity was limiting them, not their IQ.
Or rather, it was precisely because of their high IQ that they treated pork as cheap meat when choosing a recipe.
Honestly speaking, if he cooked pork the way ordinary people did in this era, Xiao Wen felt that only people with brain problems would eat it.
As he said this, Xiao Wen quickly fished out the meat.
"Bring me my other chopping board and kitchen knife." Xiao Wen said to Zhuge Liang.
"Isn't there a knife and a chopping board?" Zhuge Liang pointed to the chopping board and the bone cleaver on the stove, feeling somewhat puzzled.
Xiao Wen just used these knives to cut the meat.
Looking at Zhuge Liang, Xiao Wen said helplessly: "Xiao Liang, you really don't touch Yang Chunshui with your fingers! You can do the dishes tonight. " Xiao Wen said helplessly.
"Did I say something wrong?" Zhuge Liang was stupefied when he heard this.
Helpless, Xiao Wen could only explain, "I don't care about other things, but at the very least, we have to separate the cooked food between the chopping board and the kitchen knife. Don't you know? "
"En..." My uncle once told me that a good chef can handle all the work with a kitchen knife. "Sir is the best chef I've ever seen in this world. Can't you handle everything with a kitchen knife?" Zhuge Liang asked.
Hearing this, Xiao Wen was so angry that he wanted to punch Zhuge Liang.
He grabbed Zhuge Liang's ear and said harshly, "Listen up. The reason why a good chef can do his work with a kitchen knife is not because he is skilled with knives, but because he can do what he needs to do with a kitchen knife. As for more things, let the other chefs do it. Although your husband is very powerful, he doesn't have a single chef to help him. I can't do everything with a knife. "
Hearing this, Zhuge Liang could only cry out in pain as he promised Xiao Wen.
Later on, if you're in a place where there are many cooks and you hear that the best cooks only need a kitchen knife to do all the work, you can laugh," Xiao Wen continued. Don't think this is such a great thing. The chopping of bones could only be done with a bone cleaver, and the sculpting could only be done with a carving knife. This cannot be confused, or else it would be a waste of the lifespan of food and knives.
Hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er suddenly asked, "Then mister, if there's a place with only one chef and he still boasts like that, what would happen then?"
Hearing this, Xiao Wen's expression suddenly became ice-cold. A cold killing intent emanated from his entire body.
He turned to Shangguan Wan'er and said, "If there really is such a person, do not hesitate to kill him!"
Thinking about it carefully, using a knife that had been tainted with countless pieces of meat that had never been cooked before to touch cooked food and then serve it to others to eat, this kind of behavior was simply intolerable!
To Xiao Wen, this was just as disgusting as washing his hands before cooking.
