Chapter 551 Haven’t found lunch yet today? Shen Jiayue: It doesn’t matter, I will take action! [Please subscribe]

"Xubao, do you want to make salted duck?"

After leaving the high-speed rail station, Shen Jiayue in the passenger seat was searching for interesting places in Yinzhou City. When she heard Lin Xu talk about making salted duck, she immediately became interested.

She was no stranger to salted duck. She had eaten it when she went to Confucius Temple to burn incense before the college entrance examination. She felt it was not satisfying at the time, so she specially packed one in vacuum packaging and brought it to the capital.

Although I have eaten it several times in the capital, all made by Jinling masters, I don’t know why, but I always feel that it is not as satisfying as the local food in Jinling.

Lin Xu said:

"Sister Yuanyuan has gone to work, so we can't be idle at home. We have to find new dishes. If they taste good, we will introduce them in the store and at the scenic spot at the same time."

Although the preparation of salted duck is a bit cumbersome, it is not complicated.

There is only one pot of salt brine, which is very particular. As long as the brine is adjusted well, Second Uncle Shi Wenming can easily make this dish. By then, we will be one step closer to the task of creating ten new perfect dishes.<

/p>

In the past few days, Lin Xu plans to teach Shi Wenming the fish head cakes, flame drunk goose, salt-fried mutton and other dishes through training and teaching.

As for other dishes, we’ll talk about them later.

You can't make a fat man with one bite, and you can't make a chef in two or three days.

We can only take one step at a time. Anyway, we may have to come several times this spring, such as racecourse acceptance assessment, racecourse environmental assessment, tourism association listing, etc. As a celebrity, Lin Xu needs to come and participate.

As for the introduction of horses in the future, we have to come and participate. After all, this is our own industry, and the platform is indispensable.

He did not go to the farmer's market because there were not many vendors selling stalls at the moment, and many of the ingredients, especially frozen products, were accumulated years ago.

Parking the car at the entrance of a large supermarket, the couple prepared to go in and do a sweep first.

Shen Jiayue pushed a shopping cart at the door and followed Lin Xu into the supermarket entrance. As soon as she entered, she exclaimed:

"Wow, there are so many people, is this a promotion?"

Lin Xu said:

"Not necessarily. The main reason is that many people feel bored during the Chinese New Year. In addition to visiting relatives, they either take their children to watch movies or go shopping in shopping malls and supermarkets. In a small city like this, there are not many places to go shopping."

If you are in a big city, there are more cultural and entertainment projects, but in a small city you basically just go shopping in various supermarkets, or go hiking in the suburbs.

More and more people feel that the Chinese New Year is boring, and this is also the case.

Fireworks and firecrackers are not allowed to be set off in urban areas, and there are not many activities to play. The TV is full of advertisements and there is nothing interesting to watch. Visiting supermarkets becomes the only option.

Moreover, the temperature in supermarkets and shopping malls is quite high, so you won’t get cold, and you can also take a walk and exercise, which is better than staying at home and playing with your mobile phone.

Many children have myopia before they even enter elementary school, which is caused by playing with mobile phones and tablets for a long time.

There are indeed New Year promotions in the supermarket, with crazy discounts on various drinks, juices, snacks, etc. Shen Jiayue put a large bucket of Sprite and Coke in the shopping cart and said with a smile:

"I'm going to make Coke Chicken Wings again to vindicate the name of the poisoned chicken wings last time!"

"Okay, I'll help you keep an eye on it this time, and I'll make sure you do it right away."

Lin Xu put a box of discounted beer into the shopping cart, and selected several juices and sodas that his aunt and uncle liked to drink. He also put two bundles of Pepsi-Cola in.

After buying the drinks, Shen Jiayue pushed the shopping cart and bought a bunch of snacks.

When he arrived at the fresh food area, Lin Xu bought two durians that looked good quality and an oversized jackfruit. He also bought several pineapples and high-quality cherries.

After picking these, the shopping cart was almost full, so he had to go to the door and push another one.

Come to the cold and fresh section and start choosing meat.

"Are there whole boxes of these white-striped ducks?"

"Yes, how many boxes do you want? I'll go to the warehouse to move them."

"Two boxes."

There are about ten white-striped ducks in a box. Lin Xu thought that since he was going to make it, he should buy as many as possible and let all his relatives try it.

The production process of salted duck is relatively slow. It not only needs to be marinated with fried salt and pepper for a day and night, but also marinated with brine three times and dried in the sun. This way the duck meat will be firm and delicious, and the duck bones will turn into a beautiful emerald green color.

If the marinating time is too short, the bones will not change color and the taste will be uninteresting.

After putting price tags on the two boxes of ducks and moving them to the shopping cart, Lin Xu helped Shen Jiayue select a few kilograms of chicken wings that looked to be of good quality.

After finishing the selection, Lin Xu originally wanted to leave, but when he saw a rare type of pork being sold in the pork section, he pushed the shopping cart over and asked curiously:

"Does this leg have many cores?"

Shen Jiayue on the side is quite curious:

"Xubao, what is a leg core?"

"It's the tendon meat from the front legs of the pig. There are only two pieces on each pig. It's very rare. You can't even buy it if you want to."

The tendon meat on the pig's front legs is all tender and lean meat, with a lot of fascia mixed in. It is very similar to beef tendon, but much less than beef tendon, because it is only found in the front legs of pigs, so it is considered a pig.

biceps brachii.

Each piece weighs about two taels, and each pig has two pieces, so this piece of meat is very rare and hard to come across.

The tallyman said:

"It's ten or twenty pounds. How much do you want?"

"I want them all!"

This shank meat is an essential ingredient for making elbow scallops. Now that I have encountered it, I naturally have to make the elbow scallops that I didn’t bother to make during the Spring Festival for everyone to try.

There are two ways to make elbow flower. One is to separate the meat and skin of the elbow, roll up the elbow meat, braise it, slice it, and eat it with the sauce. Because the cross section is shaped like a flower, it is called

For elbow flowers.

However, elbow croquettes made from elbows have a disadvantage, that is, they are too fat and will easily make you tired if you eat too much. Therefore, chefs in some places have improved it and replaced it with pork skin and shank meat.

In addition to being lean meat, tendon meat is composed of fascia. It has a stronger texture and no fat. It tastes more chewy and goes well with alcohol. It is the number one dish for drinking with many people.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

In the past, elbow flowers were often seen at banquets in the northern part of the Central Plains.

But now, shank meat is harder to buy, so this dish has become less common.

In addition to the ingredients, the cumbersome preparation has also caused this dish to gradually lose its status as the king of drinks.

After buying the pork tendons, Lin Xu bought about ten kilograms of pork skin.

After everything was done, the two went to the cashier to pay and leave.

I originally wanted to buy a few ducks to make some salted duck, but I didn't expect to buy two large shopping carts, and Shen Jiayue didn't even buy them yet.

I drove back to the scenic spot and found that everyone was gone.

After calling and asking, I found out that everyone was digging wild vegetables in droves.

In fact, digging wild vegetables is not the purpose. The main purpose is for everyone to find a reason to take a walk and move around, so as not to sit around the charcoal stove and warm up.

And after yesterday's activities, everyone found that not only could they eat well, but they could also sleep soundly.

So I went back after breakfast today. It doesn’t matter whether I can dig wild vegetables or not, as long as I can exercise.

Lin Xu moved the things he bought to the kitchen, opened the carton, and put all the white-striped duck inside into the water to soak.

Making salted duck is an essential step. Only after soaking will the duck skin become white and tender, and the fishy smell of the duck meat will be completely soaked out.

Shen Jiayue gathered around, looking at the ducks soaking in the basin, and asked curiously:

"How long do you have to soak it for? Are you too late to eat at noon today?"

Lin Xu smiled:

"Don't talk about today, we won't be able to eat it at noon tomorrow. The preparation of salted duck takes a long time, so the time cannot be shortened, otherwise the duck will not be perfect."

Good salted duck requires white skin, meat powder, and green bones. If it cannot meet these requirements, it means that the preparation is lazy.

Shen Jiayue originally wanted to have a good time, but when she heard that she couldn't eat it at noon today, she focused on the chicken wings:

"Do these chicken wings also need to be soaked?"

"Yes, let's soak it. It will taste better when you make it later."

When Shen Jiayue heard this, she happily took a stainless steel basin and poured the chicken wings she bought into it. After adding water, she started soaking. Then she unscrewed the Sprite and Coke on the pretext of tasting the saltiness and drank them each.

One cup.

"What is the most important seasoning for making Coke Chicken Wings?"

"Sprite."

Lin Xu's answer stunned Shen Jiayue:

“Should I put Sprite in Coke chicken wings?”

"Yes, put some Sprite in it. It will taste better and the meat will be more tender. You can try it later."

While talking, Lin Xu had already soaked the purchased pork skin in clean water. As for the pork tendons, they could not be soaked. They could only be washed once with clean water, drained of the water, and then marinated.

When making pork elbows, if the meat is soaked for too long, it will not be easy to marinate and taste, so just wash it slightly.
