Su Qingluan looked at Yang's face bursting into tears as she choked on the onion, and felt a little dumbfounded: Was it really too late?
After all, the lethality of onions is not as heavy as that of shallots.
After the couple closed their stall today, they were not in a hurry to return to Huaxi Village.
They are waiting for Su Guangfu.
Although Su Guangfu was not at fault, due to the influence of all kinds of modern costume TV dramas, whenever words such as "county magistrate" and "yamen" are mentioned, Su Qingluan's mind will be like "beating the board" and "clipping fingers". horrific scene.
Although Aniang said that the local county magistrate was upright and upright, he was not a "gold-letter brand" like Bao Zheng Hairui, so Su Qingluan was still worried.
Fortunately, what Su Qingluan was worried about did not happen. In less than three seconds, Su Guangfu came back unscathed, and at the same time brought a surprising news - the two bullies who extorted money today were actually ordered by others. .
The man behind the scenes is none other than Dong Mao, the shopkeeper of "Dong Ji Burrito" who has been viciously competing with others through price cuts.
However, it turned out that Dong Mao had been holding a grudge against the Su family's burrito stall when he maliciously suppressed it last time. He heard that the Su family was going to launch a new product, and he wanted to cause some trouble for the Su family's stall at this juncture, so as to fish in troubled waters.
So he secretly used money and asked two local ruffians to come over and extort money. However, he never wanted to be caught by Su Qingluan as evidence, and instead went to the official.
Those two local scoundrels were just paid to do things, and they were not tough men. They didn't wait for the blow to fall on them, but seeing the posture in the magistrate's office, they softened their bones and called Dong Mao out from behind. .
Next is the matter of Dong Mao and the two scoundrels. Seeing that the Su family was innocently framed, the county magistrate let Su Guangfu, the culprit, come back.
As for Dong Mao and those two scoundrels, whether they fight or imprison them has nothing to do with their Su family.
After getting rid of the two scoundrels who were making trouble, Yang happily stroked her husband's collar: "When you get back, you must take a bath with that mugwort in water to get rid of bad luck!"
Su Qingluan also smiled and pointed out the newly bought ingredients: "This is a good thing. My daughter made some fresh food today. It should be a celebration for us to save the day!"
Su Guangfu came over and took a look: "Oh, why have you never seen this before?"
Yang smiled and said, "It's a fresh thing I bought from that merchant."
Su Guangfu frowned slightly, grabbed a handful and smelled it naturally: "Why does the armpit smell so bad?" He raised his head and looked at Su Qingluan, "Girl, is this rotten and rancid?"
Su Qingluan:......
Dad, if you describe it like this, how can she look directly at Cumin in the future?
Su Qingluan thought that her father's description of the taste of cumin was outrageous enough. She never thought that after returning home, her younger brother Su Xuanhe's description was even more explosive:
"Sister, why does this thing called 'cumin' smell like sweaty feet?"
"No, it smells like chicken manure!"
The little girl Su Xueyan was on the side adding insult to injury.
Su Qingluan: ...Please shut up, thank you very much. It’s really better not to describe it at all.
However, the two younger ones were originally just curious about cumin, but when Su Qingluan brought out the pork, the two of them became obviously disgusted.
The specific performance is as follows: Su Xueyan ran into the room in a flash, while Su Xuanhe frowned and pinched his nose tightly.
Su Qingluan raised an eyebrow: "Are you so disgusted with it?"
Su Xuanhe pinched his nose and said in a loud voice: "Boiled pork stinks!"
Su Qingluan's forehead twitched: "Cook it? How to cook it?"
Su Xuanhe looked at his sister as if she were a fool: "Just put a little salt in it, throw it into the earthen pot, and cook it."
After listening to this simple and crude cooking method, Su Qingluan once again had a solid understanding of one of the cooking methods of ordinary people in this era - what kind of devilish cooking method is this!
No roasting the skin, no pickling to remove the fishy smell, and no seasonings added to cover up the "stinky" smell of the pork.
Wait... Speaking of which, at the pork shop just now, there weren't many people buying pork...
"Do other people cook pork like this?" Su Qingluan asked unwillingly.
When Su Xuanhe nodded affirmatively, Su Qingluan's eyes darkened: What a waste of natural resources!
Pork, how many delicious foods can be made!
Pork breast, pickled ham, braised pork, pot-wrapped pork...
As a chef, I can't bear to see any piece of pork cooked in a way that doesn't taste good! !
Su Qingluan put her hands on her hips: "Today, we will eat 'delicious' pork!"
After that, she raised her voice and said: "Mom! Let's build an earthen stove in the yard today. There will be a lot of smoke when eating barbecue!"
Although Yang and Su Guangfu didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in their eldest girl's gourd, based on their past experience, they probably made some delicious food, so they picked up the adobe bricks and started building a stove in the yard.
Su Qingluan, on the other hand, used a garlic mortar to pound sesame seeds, cumin, salt and sugar carefully to make "BBQ dipping sauce".
"Hey...it's a pity that I didn't see peppers, only Evodia..." Su Qingluan was a little regretful.
Although Evodia has a spicy taste, it does not have the "fragrance" of pepper seeds, and it is also slightly bitter. However, there is currently no better substitute.
After making the "barbecue dipping sauce", Su Qingluan tasted it briefly. Although the flavor was slightly inferior to modern carefully prepared barbecue sauce, after all, with cumin adding color, the overall flavor was still good.
Just thinking of my family’s comments about the taste of cumin...
Just in case, Su Qingluan made a cumin-free version.
When Su Qingluan was preparing to dip the sauce, the earthen stove in the front yard was already set up.
Seeing his father raising the fire, Su Qingluan hurriedly raised the piece of pork belly he just bought: "Dad, wait a moment, I will grill the skin of the meat!"
"Don't burn your hands!" Mrs. Yang looked on with fear, and quickly took an iron tong to clamp on the pork, and then asked Su Qingluan to roast the pork skin from beginning to end until it became charred.
Su Xuanhe saw this and said strangely: "The pig skin is so hard and cannot be bitten, why don't you throw it away?"
Su Qingluan smiled mysteriously: "This thing can make delicious food!"
"Sister, are we going to eat pig skin this year?" Su Xueyan frowned and pursed her lips, "I will get a toothache and mouth pain if I eat pig skin!"
Seeing her sister's troubled look, Su Qingluan smiled and pinched both sides of her face: "We'll eat pig skin tomorrow. Today we'll eat grilled pork on the iron plate!"
After roasting the pig skin, she turned back to the kitchen and washed away the burnt skin, revealing the original color of the pig skin.
Then she sliced the pork into paper-thin slices.
Since the pork belly has both fat and lean parts, the color and texture of the meat are red and white, which makes it very attractive.
Chop the green onion, ginger, and Su Qingluan. Add a little rice vinegar and white wine to the pork belly slices and mix well to remove the fishy smell.
At this time, my sister's cry of "Wow wow wow" came from the yard.
Su Qingluan was startled and quickly stopped what she was doing and turned around to see what was going on.
