Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 451 Pigs are born with impermanence, small intestines wrapped in large intestines (ask for a monthly ticket)

In this way, after finally telling Xiaosi away, Chen Nian found time to continue to sleep. After such a disturbance, Chen Nian felt that he was not sleepy at all.

But in this era, the night is long and there is nothing to pass the time. I can only look at the moon outside the window and think that the ancients are probably as boring as myself, so I put my love on the moon.

And this kind of thing is actually very difficult to say, maybe you are here alone in the yard facing the moon, expressing your thoughts to distant friends, and even wrote a well-known poem while it was hot.

On the other side, your friend is having a good time in the brothel, and you can see the moon as long as you look up a little, and you don't even bother to look at it.

After all, no matter how round the moon is, how can the girls in the brothel look good?

Therefore, having telephones, mobile phones, and the Internet in later generations is quite useful.

When you make a phone call, you can hear the other party's voice, and you can even see the other party's appearance through the video.

But it was at this time that Chen Nian couldn't help thinking in his heart what time is it at night in reality?

I don't know if Hongdou slept or not.

If you don't sleep, you don't know if you are playing games, watching TV, or composing new songs?
At this time, a breeze blew in from the window.

According to the current weather in Chengdu, if Hongdou didn't sleep, he would probably open the window to blow the wind.

It's just that everyone is not in the same time and space, so the wind that blows is not the same.

Thinking about it like this, Chen Nian's eyelids started to fight again, and soon he fell asleep again, wondering if he would see An Hongdou in the dream...

After falling asleep this time, no one will disturb me, a good night's sleep!
Chen Nian slept until morning, but it was still dark when he opened his eyes.

But through the half-closed window, you can still see that the sky has turned navy blue, which means that the sun will rise in more than an hour.

Although he felt sleepy, Chen Nian quickly got up and put on his clothes, and went to the yard with a basin to get some cold water to wash his face and hair.

After a night of cooling down, the well water, which was slightly cold in the morning, was like a shot in the arm at this moment, allowing Chen Nian to wake up in an instant, without any sleepiness.

After a brief wash, Chen Nian touched his shoulder.

"Too bad, I didn't bring a towel." Chen Nian murmured inwardly, he could only stick his head out in front of him like a big goose, and then just drenched all the way back to the room, reaching out his hand from a distance to touch the towel , Pulled off the rope, and then wiped his face and head dry.

Everyone was still sleeping at this time, but Chen Nian had already pushed onto the flatbed cart and went out to the vegetable market through the back door.

The working people are always the first to get up at any time.

Although it is not yet dawn, many people can already be seen walking on the street to make a living.

It's just that most of these people seem to be working hard, but think about it, if possible, who wouldn't want to lie in bed and sleep for a while?

The more people go to the vegetable market, the denser the flow of people is. After arriving at the vegetable market, there are already various small stalls here.

At this time, the sky is brighter again, so that the quality of those dishes can be seen clearly, otherwise it will always be a little awkward to choose in the dark.

It's like a sudden power outage after cooking at home. Although you can eat with candles, it always feels a lot less interesting to eat like this.

Although Chen Nian can pick out good dishes in the dark, he can see more clearly and feel more at ease in his heart.

First of all, Chen Nian went to a few vegetable vendors that he often went to, first bought some vegetables, then bought some meat, and finally bought ten catties of old pickles

After all, in the martial arts hall, if you drink porridge, everyone still likes to drink it with pickles. After all, if you just drink porridge, the thin soup has little taste and no water, and these martial arts practitioners sweat a lot every day, so Eating something salty can also be more energetic.

Chen Nian knows that this is the same reason that people who work frequently should eat more oil and salt.

After buying these, Chen Nian came to the stall selling pig offal in the morning market.

On these stalls, there are all kinds of pig offal.

Pork liver, pig lung, pig heart, pig kidney, pig belly, etc., and in addition to these pig offal, there are also pig head meat, pig ears, pig tail and other organs.

And the pig's trotters are gone.

"Boss, I bought some pork offal, but why are the trotters gone?" Chen Nian asked.

In the end, the boss didn't see Chen Nian's face clearly, and knew that Chen Nian was a young man from the voice, so he said with a smile: "Brother, you are late, if you come earlier, you can still buy pig's trotters."

Listening to the other party's words, Chen Nian nodded and didn't care too much. Many people in Tianjin call him big brother when they meet. Anyway, it doesn't matter what their age is, but these are not important. If there is no pig's hoof, it will be gone. Anyway, his goal today is not a pig. Hooves, but pig intestines!
"Okay, let's buy some intestines, these are washed, right?"

"Don't worry, the pig was killed last night. The intestines were taken out and washed right after the slaughter. They were washed clean inside and out. I don't know how many times they were washed. They are eaten raw, let alone cooking. I can’t taste those flavors either.”

Listening to the other party's eloquent bragging, Chen Nian couldn't help but glanced at his mouth and smiled: "Brother, don't you know who I am? A few days ago, my master and I came to you to buy offal."

But the other party just thought it was old-fashioned on purpose, thinking that there are 28 if not [-] people who come to my place to buy water every day. Who came here a few days ago to recognize who you are?

But I want to return to my heart, and I still have to have a smile on my face: "Oh, look at my eyes, I didn't pay attention to it just now when it was dark, it turned out to be you, I came here last time, I remember, this place in our house The intestines are indeed fresh, including large intestines and small intestines, you can pick and choose, and you can’t go wrong.”

But as soon as Chen Nian heard the other party's words, he knew that the other party obviously didn't recognize him. If he really recognized him, he wouldn't say that.

But he didn't say anything right away, instead he squatted down to pick out the pig's intestines.

In this way, I bought a total of more than 30 catties, and I don’t know how many pig intestines they are. Anyway, after picking them up, they are so chaotic, and they are white and white. I can even see the intestines clearly under the brighter and brighter light. Pink.

This shows that the large intestine is indeed fresh.

And judging by the appearance, although it is not as clean as the stall owner said, at least it has been cleaned.

"Okay, that's it, let's see how much it is in total." Chen Nian said after choosing.

And the stall owner took these large intestines and put them on the scale, and then added a few big weights to it. From this situation, it seemed that the rich people were going to buy them!
"A total of 36 and a half catties, how about 35 catties for you? You can come here often after it is cheaper." The stall owner said with a smile.

But Chen Nian shook his head: "You don't weigh 36 and a half catties. I think it's up to 31 pounds. Boss, I didn't praise you when I said I came to you. I'm in Jinwumen now. As a cook, the master's surname is Sun."

The street vendor was about to get angry when he heard Chen Nian say that he was short of money, but when he heard that Chen Nian came from Jinwumen, and his master's surname was Sun, his tense face suddenly melted away in a second: " Oh, look at my brain, I didn't recognize it before, but you really said that you are Master Sun's apprentice, why do we both have to make so many detours?"

While talking, he lifted the pig intestines from the scale, and put them on the old flatbed cart for proper placement: "Don't say anything, you will give it at [-] catties, and I will give it away for nothing. what do you think?"

And Chen Nian didn't care about the inconsistency of the other party's words. Since the other party showed a smiling face, Chen Nian naturally didn't need to worry about the previous ones with the other party. Did you know each other? It will be much more convenient to come and go in the future.

And my master said that the offal from your place is really fresh, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come to your place to buy these early in the morning. "

"Look at what you said, as long as you think it's good, I admire you no matter the third master of Jinwumen or Master Sun. As long as you come to buy, I will give you the cheapest price." The stall owner He also said frankly that he was completely different from the profiteer before.

"No problem, brother, then I'll go back first."

"Okay, let's go slowly."

Immediately afterwards, Chen Nian pushed the flatbed cart around the vegetable market, bought some green onions, garlic and ginger, and then headed towards Jinwumen.

But on the way back, Chen Nian thought to himself as he walked, it is really easy to use the name of the third master to come out, as long as the name of the third master is brought out to buy vegetables, there is no need to actively bargain.

It seems that the third master is indeed a household name in Tianjin.

However, Chen Nian only made some attempts at a few stalls. After all, it would be a little itchy if he didn't do things like bargaining. As long as he didn't use the name of the third master, it would still be very impressive. There is room for bargaining.

After returning to Jinwumen in this way, Chen Nian had already seen smoke from the kitchen from a distance.

No need to think about it, it must be that Master Sun has already woken up and started preparing breakfast for everyone.

Pushing the trolley to the door of the kitchen, I saw Master Sun cutting pickles, watching the mist rising from the pot, and smelling it...

"Millet porridge." The taste of these grains is already very familiar, and it feels like there should be some stick noodles in it.

In this way, we can live more satisfactorily.

But after I came back today, Master Sun had already made breakfast, which meant that I got up a bit late, and I need to get up earlier tomorrow.

"Have you bought everything?" Master Sun asked.

"Master, I've bought everything, why don't you take a look?" Chen Nian replied respectfully, and then pointed to the flatbed outside.

"Don't worry about it, I'm at ease when you do things. You take back all the vegetables you bought first, soak your intestines in water, and deal with them after you have breakfast later."

Chen Nian nodded, and then brought all the dishes into the kitchen, and soaked all the intestines in a huge iron basin.He got some water out of the tank with a bucket and poured it into a big basin, and finally covered it.

On the one hand, it is to avoid attracting flies, and on the other hand, it is also to leave some mystery to everyone.

For breakfast, I ate millet porridge mixed with cornmeal, with cakes and pickles.

Chen Nian drank the porridge with thick stick noodles. Although he felt a little scratched in his throat, the overall taste was good.

It gives people the feeling that it is actually somewhat similar to those whole wheat breads sold in supermarkets in later generations.

It's just that those whole wheat breads are more expensive than ordinary toast bread.

Of course, Chen Nian didn't understand it at all, and he didn't like to eat it either.

In the end, Chen Nian drank a large bowl of porridge and a large sheet of cake and ate some pickles, and his stomach was round and swollen.

"Master, I seem to be a bit full..." Chen Nian touched his stomach, sighed and said to Master Sun.

"It's better to be full. It's better to be full than to be hungry...Don't look at what you are eating now. If it was in the homes of ordinary people decades ago, they would not have eaten it." Master Sun talked about the past again, like Very old, every time when I go back to my hometown, some elders talk about how it used to be.

Of course, the times are different, and if you can eat better, there is no need to engage in reminiscence of bitterness and sweetness.

People have to keep moving forward.

But after all, this is what the master said, and Chen Nian can't open his mouth to refute.

After Chen Nian had eaten, rested for a while, and washed the dishes, Master Sun planned to start cooking the dishes that everyone wanted to eat at noon.

There are still three dishes for lunch today, and Master Sun has already arranged them, one is fried potato shreds, one is fried pork with garlic moss, and the other is Jiuzhuan large intestine.

The other two dishes are not troublesome to prepare, that is, it may take a little time to process the ingredients, but it is enough for one morning.

So they have to prepare the nine-turn large intestine first.

This dish obviously does not belong to the category of big pot dishes, but who made Master Sun want to cook it for everyone? Even if it is not a big pot dish, it can be made in batches.

The first step in making the nine-turn large intestine is to wash it, although the boss has already washed it before, but these things will always be a bit uneasy to eat if they don't wash them by themselves.

Even if there is only a 1/10000 chance of eating something that shouldn't be eaten, once it is eaten, it will definitely leave a psychological shadow on people.

Chen Nian came outside with a basin and began to turn out the large intestine under the guidance of Master Sun, and then cleaned it with vinegar, flour, pepper and some salt.

Every inch is guaranteed to be cleaned without leaving any residue.

Also remove the top layer of slime.

After cleaning, the old man took off all the fat on the intestines, because these fats are actually difficult to deal with, and there is no way to guarantee that the oil will be completely taken into account whether it is roasted or fried, so it is best to remove them. Good solution.

It took a lot of effort like this, Chen Nian's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and the fat intestines were finally cleaned up.

"Don't throw away the oil after you get it down. It can be refined into oil at that time. We usually call this stuff water oil, and it is fragrant when it is used to fry the offal."

Master Sun was watching from the side, and he handled it patiently and carefully from the beginning to the end, and he didn't treat it carelessly just because he might not eat much.

And this patience is also a quality that a cook should possess.

If a person wants to muddle along in his whole life, relying on some trivial skills he has mastered to make a living, then naturally he can do whatever he wants.

But if you have a clear goal and want to keep improving in your own industry, you have to do it like old age.

"Okay, you bring the basin back, and I'll teach you how to stuff the intestines in." Seeing that Chen Nian was done, Master Sun greeted him and turned around before returning to the house.

When Chen Nian returned to the kitchen with a big pot full of pig intestines, Master Sun was already sitting on the pony tie and rolled up his sleeves, waiting to work.

"This thing is actually simple, but it's hard to explain clearly to you." Master Sun found the head of an intestine in the basin while talking. Chen Nian didn't turn over the intestine after cleaning and treating it come over.

Because this is also what Master Sun requested.

I saw that after Master Sun grabbed the intestines, he turned his head out first, and then grabbed the intestines at the back and began to stuff them in.

Since there is a head turned outward, the more stuffing is inside, the more the outer skin will turn out.

Chen Nian also took a closer look at it, and found that Master Sun didn't have a specific measure when he stuffed it, he just stuffed it and completely inserted a piece of intestine.

It's just that I set myself up.

I'm afraid this pig's large intestine never thought that he would be tricked by himself one day when the pig was alive.

It's really impermanent for pigs to live, and the large intestine wraps the small intestine.

It's just that the wrapped intestines are about half shorter than the original ones.

The main reason is that more intestines are wrapped inside, filling the inside to the brim.

After looking at it for a while, Chen Nian also tried to pick up an intestine and put it in it. At first, he found it a bit difficult to read, but after he got started, he found that this thing is quite simple.

Just pay attention to some force. When inserting it, the force should be uniform. At the same time, when the thumb is gently pushed into the rectum, it is best to be in the middle, so as to ensure that the intestines that come out are straight and even.

In this way, the two of them didn't even spend much effort to cover these intestines, and stacked them neatly in the basin one by one.

"Now that we have set it up, we have to use bamboo sticks to fix it first, otherwise the pot will be messed up after a while." Master Sun said, took out the bamboo sticks that had been prepared, and started to put them on again. Prick the pig's large intestine.

Chen Nian also learned from the side to help.

Although Chen Nian didn't have any impression in his mind when Master Sun said it yesterday, once he started to practice it now, some key points taught by Master Sun will be integrated immediately.

Looking at these large intestines that have been prepared, Chen Nian suddenly thought to blanch these intestines for a while, take them out and rinse them with cold water, then brush some sauce on them, then brush some honey and bake them in the oven. It must be delicious too!
