Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

If beef is classified according to the conventional classification, it would be tenderloin, brisket, upper brain, eye fillet, ox tail, beef tendon...

But it would be different according to the opinions in Guangdong Province. Zhao Yeqing thought, while the beef is the freshest now, he might as well blanch the beef slices directly in water.

According to Guangdong Province, the upper brain and eye meat are called hanging dragons, the breast and abdominal meat are called fat calluses, the front legs of beef are called three-flowered toes, the hind legs of cattle are called five-flowered toes, and the front breast meat is called chest bladder.... ..

It's just a pity that there is no sand tea sauce.

The Teochew hot pot in Guangdong Province is very simple. The meat does not need to be seasoned. The pot is just water with some salt and a few white radish slices.

The only difficulty is the knife skills for slicing beef.

The beef should be thin enough that it can be pulled out within seconds of putting it in the pot.

By the end of Qingshui's hot pot meal, the bottom of the pot turned into beef soup.

We didn't have to wait until evening for this hot pot meal. We set up the pot at noon when the meat was at its freshest.

The fastest way to sharpen a knife is to fill three large plates with beef slices, piled high on top.

There is no need for staple food, only meat is used to fill the stomach.

Use soy sauce minced garlic and fermented bean curd for dipping.

The freshly cooked beef is dipped in a little dipping sauce, and the salty taste makes the sweetness of the fresh beef more obvious.

For the first time, I really enjoyed eating beef without spending any money.

Still such high quality fresh beef.

The three plates of beef eaten by the two of them were only a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of meat from the entire cow.

Mu Xi set aside the beef for dinner and put the rest in the refrigerator.

Beef offal and cowhide have not been processed yet. Cowhide and sheepskin are treated in the same way. They are cleaned first with detergent and then dried or soaked.

The soaking method is the same as sheepskin, soaking in salt water.

The sheepskin from the last time has been soaked. It needs to be smeared with salt before being taken out, and it needs to be turned over from time to time.

Clean the cowhide and put it in salt water before processing the offal.

Zhao Yeqing had already taken away most of the offal and disposed of it, leaving only the intestines and tripe in the basin.

The undigested feed inside must be washed away.

Strictly speaking, cows have four stomachs. The first stomach is called the rumen. It is the largest one and the most troublesome to clean. Mu Xi opened it and cleaned out most of the remaining feed. After a while, he gave it the second stomach. Cleanup times.

After Zhao Yeqing washed most of the offal and put it in the refrigerator, he covered his nose and squatted beside it to watch.

He held his nose and spoke with a strange voice, "Is this grass belly?"

Mu Xi didn't take offence. The smell was unpleasant, so he nodded to answer her question.

There are several stomachs in the basin next to it.

The second stomach is the honeycomb stomach, which is connected to the rumen. The feed eaten by the cow is ground and digested back and forth in the two stomachs.

This part is the money belly.

There is another stomach in the front of the honeycomb stomach, which is the third stomach. This is the double omasum, which is the location of the cow's louver, melaleuca tripe and hairy tripe.

The fourth stomach is the abomasum, which is relatively smooth and is usually called tripe strips.

They are all delicious parts, but when they are not cleaned, the taste is still unflattering.

She couldn't hold her breath anymore and walked away quickly, retreating a few meters away before daring to take a breath.

Mu Xi tilted his head and shouted, "Bring me some lime."

If there is mucus in the stomach, it must be washed with lime.

After qualitative analysis, quantitative analysis is required, so a small amount of lime will not overheat the cow's stomach and cook it, but can effectively clean the mucus on it.

The light yellow cow stomach and intestines become white and tender after being washed with quicklime.

Zhao Yeqing looked at Mao Du and wanted to eat hot pot again.

The hot pot base ingredients from last time have been used up. If you want to eat hot pot again at night, you have to make fresh stir-fry ingredients.

This cow is a little fat. Maybe the feed ratio is not very scientific. According to the original farmer's notes, under normal circumstances, a cow of more than 1,000 kilograms should not have more than 100 kilograms of oil.

The normal oil production rate is controlled at about 4% of the cow's body weight, but the two of them don't care about this. The extra butter can just fill up the family's cooking oil consumption.

Mu Xi took a scale and weighed the butter. It was about one hundred and fifty kilograms.

The two of them put the butter in the pot and started refining it before it was frozen.

In the end, one hundred and fifty pounds of suet was refined into nearly eighty pounds of butter.

Five kilograms of oil were left in the pot and began to stir-fry the hot pot base.

There is no shortage of butter, but the dried chili peppers are not enough. It is definitely enough for normal cooking, but the amount of hot pot base is large.

I originally wanted to fry ten kilograms of hot pot base with butter, but now I can only fry five kilograms.

There is no shortage of Sichuan peppercorns, and there is also a big bag.

I dug out all the spices at home, including bay leaves, cinnamon, star anise, fennel...

It is best to put some fermented glutinous rice into the hot pot base.

It's a pity that many spices are missing, otherwise it would be more fragrant.

The aroma of the hot pot base made Zhao Yeqing salivate the whole time.

The aroma of chili peppers fried in butter couldn't suppress salivation at all.

She sneezed and swallowed, and the scent even spread into the room, causing the dogs to sneeze.

Mu Xi then remembered that he had not closed the window to ventilate the room in the morning, so he quickly returned to the room and closed the window.

Fortunately, the quilt has not been stained with too much smell.

He prepared the ingredients for the spicy hot pot in advance, including fat beef, hairy tripe and thousand-layer tripe, as well as marinated beef.

The mutton was frozen hard before, but after it was softened a little indoors, it became semi-soft and not hard, so it was easy to cut.

Slice the lamb into thin slices.

The vegetables are pea tips and cabbage.

The Chinese cabbage was placed underground. The original owner had a small cellar, only half a meter deep. At this temperature, there was almost no cellar, and the vegetables were still frozen hard.

Mu Xi brought cabbage and firewood into the kitchen.

“We don’t have much firewood left.”

Zhao Yeqing nodded, "Look at the sky outside, it doesn't look like there will be snow tomorrow, so get up early and go chop wood."

The base ingredients are already fried.

Evenly distribute the base ingredients into the small bowl, and it will be all frozen in a short time.

A meal is just a small bowl of base, so there is no need to divide it.

The spices were not used up, so Zhao Yeqing cut off a large piece of beef tendon and put it into the pot, put the spices in and added water and soy sauce.

"Braised some beef. When you get up in the morning, you can cook noodles or eat sweet potato noodles. Just cut some braised beef and put it in it."

She loves to eat beef, and when she sees beef, her mind is filled with delicious food.

If it wasn't too labor-intensive, she would have liked to make the beef balls with her hands.

But thinking about the pain she felt during the Chinese New Year when she wanted to eat rice cakes and hammered the glutinous rice until she couldn't lift it, she gave up the idea.

During dinner, the two of them ate hot pot inside the house, while Leopard and Gouzi had their dinner outside.

Several animals expressed that they really couldn't stand the pungent smell of chili peppers, so they spontaneously ran to the door with rice bowls in their mouths to make dinner.

The behavior is spontaneous and the eyes are resentful.

Zhao Yeqing added an extra fist-sized piece of beef to each animal's bowl, which calmed everyone's grievances.
