Chapter 213 Chinese New Year (3)
After cutting off the pig's head and put it on the chopping board aside, Uncle Muri began to decompose the whole pig, cut the fat, lean meat, ribs... and open it separately. This is also a technical task. If the meat is divided into a mess, the owner will be very unhappy.
This step takes the most, and those young men with strength can't help much, but they didn't leave, just stood by and watched, helping with them if needed. When they don't need them, you can also see how Uncle Muri did it. It is also a kind of learning. If they learn, they can also do this business.
It started around 8 o'clock in the morning and was busy until almost noon. It was finally over. Put the pork into pots according to the category. Uncle Muri came over and said, "Miss Tyran, the meat has been cut."
Tailan smiled and said, "Thank you, it's almost noon. Go back quickly and don't delay the meal." This sentence is actually inappropriate. If it is an ordinary family, you must keep food at this time. The villagers come to your house to help one. Will you not give a bowl of rice? But there is nothing to do about this. The distance between the strata under the jurisdiction of the Druid Sect is not that far away, but there is not no class difference. Tailan and Lin'an are third-level druids, which are different from these ordinary villagers. Both sides have their own worries and their own gains and joys, but both sides do not, and there is no need to have too much intersection.
Uncle Muri took the pig head away when he left. This is the habit of Qingri Village. There is no need to pay for helping pigs. However, when he left, he had to pay for some meat. The pig head meat was also very good. However, neither Taylan, Lin Ona nor Danica liked it very much, so he gave Uncle Muri as compensation. In addition to Uncle Muri, the young men who came to help each got a piece of meat. Each young man left happily.
Generally speaking, those who come to help and work will not get all meat in the end, and there will be some mixed meat mixed in. This time, because the owner has only three people and can’t eat much meat. In addition, Tyran has a special preference for mixed meat, so they are all meat and fat meat. For poor and lacking oil and water, solid fat meat is the best, but for Danica and others, fat meat is a bit too greasy.
After sending Uncle Muri and the young men away, Tyran looked a little sad and said softly: "If they had stayed before, we could have a lively meal together."
Danica said lightly: "This is also impossible. They have their own peaceful life, and there is no need to get involved with us." Danica is not pretending to be hypocritical. As a civilian without powerful power, it is not a good thing to get too close to professionals. While professionals enjoy a wealthy life that ordinary people can't imagine, they will often be in danger. Even if you don't go to find trouble, you will come up with trouble yourself. If you really need to calculate, the proportion of accidents that professionals encounter are much larger than ordinary people.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. It's almost noon. It's time for us to have a meal." Feeling a little dull, Tyran changed the topic and said in a light tone, "What do you want to eat at noon?"
"Anything is OK, you know, I'm not particular about what I eat," said Danica.
"Don't say that." Taylan waved his hand and said, "You are recovering now and need to eat something nutritious." The strong physical fitness of professionals brings strong digestive ability. Even Danica, who is still weak, can eat and drink, and there will be no indigestion.
Danica thought for a while and said, "I really want to try something if you want to say that."
Taylan hurriedly asked, "What do you want to eat, tell me." It's rare that there is something Danica wants to eat. If she can do it, Taylan will definitely try her best to satisfy her.
"Maizi." I don't know if I was stimulating the atmosphere of the New Year, but Danica remembered something that she would eat during the New Year before - of course, it was something she ate during the New Year in her previous life.
"Maiba?" Taylan hadn't heard of this kind of thing before and asked, "How did it be made?"
Danica looked at the large chunks of meat in the basin and said, "First of all, we need to find a few pieces of fat and lean meat, chop it up and make it into filling."
"Chop meat!" Taylan shouted into the room, "Lin Ona, come out quickly!"
"What's wrong?" Lin Ona came out quickly when he heard Tyran's cry. He had been cleaning the room before. He needed to clean the house thoroughly during the Chinese New Year. This was a very time-consuming and quite tedious job.
Tyran said: "Danika came up with a new way to cook meat. Don't clean it up, let's cook together!"
Although he was suddenly stopped after cleaning, Lin Ona nodded and said, "Okay." During the Chinese New Year, of course, everyone is happy. Danica usually has no requirements for food. Since there are dishes that she wants to eat this time, let's cook them together.
After washing his hands, Lin Ona asked, “How should you make the dish you thought of?”
Tyran pointed to the few pieces of meat on the kitchen chopping board and said, "First chop the meat into stuffing."
I knew there was nothing good about calling me to come, Lin Ona muttered in his heart. Chopping stuffing is a very laborious job. Although it is nothing to professionals, Tyran still habitually handed over this job to Lin Ona.
Lin Ona chose two knives and started chopping up.
Seeing that someone had done this boring job, Tyran asked, "What?"
Danica said: "Next, after chopping the meat fillings, we will add some flour, some eggs and mix well." This method of making meatballs is very simple and even rough, but it is indeed what she remembers at home.
"Don't add salt?" Tyran asked strangely.
"Oh, by the way, there's salt," Danica added, "and add some spices to it according to your preference."
"Okay, no problem." Tyran agreed. As the most developed agricultural place in the entire Katic continent, the Druids sect not only grow ordinary grain and vegetables, but also grow many cash crops, the most important one is spices, so it is relatively easy to buy spices here, and the price is much cheaper than those outside.
Lin Ona was chopping with two knives next to him, while Tyran and Danica were slowly processing the spicy condiments to be used next.
After a while, Lin Ona put down the knife and said, "The filling has been chopped. Are you going to add flour to it?"
Danica leaned over and looked at it, frowned slightly, and said, "Chop for a while, these particles are too big." She could clearly see the meat grains the size of soybeans. As the filling, isn't it too big?
Lin Ona looked at Danica strangely, then looked at Taylan. Chop the stuffing is also a commonly used cooking method, but they had to chop the stuffing before, just like this!
Taylan gave a helpless expression and said, "Just make it as Danica said!" This dish was thought of by Danica, and she might have her own understanding!
After chopping for a while, Lin Ona stopped again, but Danica took a look and said, "Continue."
"continue."
"continue."
"continue."
After being accepted by Danica several times, the little meat filling was finally qualified. At this time, the pieces of meat had been chopped into very fine meat paste.
Danica put the meat into a clean basin, added about the same amount of flour as the meat filling, and started to beat eggs inside.
One, two, three... Danica's face was relaxed, and Lin Ona standing next to her was a little shocked. This girl was really willing to give up. She had just poured in a dozen eggs in just a small pot of stuffing. Of course, it was far from being a luxury for a professional, but for those who have been living in Qingri Village and have never seen a luxurious aristocratic atmosphere like the southern coastal areas, this is indeed a very "bold" approach.
After beaten the eggs, adding some salt and spice powder, Danica picked up a long spoon and started to stir. She just stirred a few times and said, "I'll do it." Danica's body has not recovered yet, and she is not even as good as an ordinary person. After stirring for a few times, she looks very difficult.
"Okay." Danica put the spoon down, shook her slightly sore wrist and stood aside.
After stirring for more than ten minutes, Tyran asked, "Do you need to add some water? It feels like the filling is very dry."
"This..." Danica was a little uncertain. Her memory was not complete. She didn't know whether to add water during the stirring process. "Or it would be better to add a little, but be careful not to add too much."
The two discussed adding a little water, and it felt almost done. Taylan asked, "What's next?"
Danica said, "The next step is to dig out the small balls with a spoon and fry them in the oil pan."
Tailan gave her a blank look and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" If they needed to fry, they had to start preparing just now. It was a bit too late to start now.
"Ah?" Danica said a little embarrassedly, "I forgot."
Tailan set the pot on another stove, got half a pot of oil inside, and said jokingly: "I remember you mentioned that you had studied cooking skills for a while ago, why, now you forgot all?"
Danica nodded and said, "What you said is not bad, I'm really forgetting."
When she was studying in the three major magic academies before, in order to facilitate her poisoning, Danica did learn cooking for a while, but she only learned a few dishes specifically, and she was far from being proficient. Besides, after so long, she didn't specifically remember it. She almost forgot about cooking what she had learned before.
There was no other way, so I could only wait for the oil in the pan to heat up slowly. Fortunately, the heat was quite strong, and the oil temperature was almost the same before it was waiting for too long. Danica took out a small spoon and dipped it in the oil pan - she remembered this detail, and then scooped out the filling that the spoon had just prepared from the basin and put it in the oil pan. Fry it for more than a minute, and saw that the surface of the meatball was a little charred, Danica quickly took out the meatball and put it on the plate, and said with a smile: "This is the meatball I mentioned. How about it, do you want to try it?"
"I'll try it." Tyran said, using a spoon to cut the ball in half. She ate half, leaving the rest to Danica, who was eager to try it out.
Danica chewed a few times, her expression was not very good, and she barely swallowed it and said, "It doesn't seem to be right!"
Taylan said expressionlessly: "It's not right. First of all, the taste is lighter, and fortunately it's lighter, just add some salt. If it's salty, it's troublesome. In addition, the oil temperature is too high, and the outside is burnt and the inside is not cooked yet! There is another thing, I feel that the water is less, and the fried meatballs are a bit dry." As expected, she shouldn't have much hope for Danica's cooking skills, so her craftsmanship can only be used to make broth or something.
Tailan made the seasoning by herself, added some water, stirred it well, and made another meatball, cut it in half, and said, "Try it, there should be no problem this time."
Danica finished the half ball and said happily: "Yes, it's this taste."
Taylan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, just make it successful." Although she disliked Danica's way of making meatballs just now, this dish was something she hoped to eat, just like Lin Ona thought. Since it was the Chinese New Year, of course, everyone's wishes must be satisfied and everyone will be happy.
It would be much better to master the method. Soon, the meatballs were out of the pot. Lin Ona also tasted it and said in admiration: "It's really delicious."
Tailan smiled and said, "Of course, you don't look at the ingredients here." To be honest, the method of making meatballs is really hard to say. When you meet someone who knows cooking, just tell them once. The reason why it tastes good is mainly because the ingredients are very good. Meat, eggs, and even flour are not something that ordinary people can usually eat. If you stir these things together and fry them in oil, of course it will be delicious.
"It's just a little bit that I can only taste the meat, but I can't eat the meat, and I feel a little unsatisfied." Lin Ona added.
Danica just chewed a meatball and swallowed it, saying, "What I want is this effect! What's wrong with this?" This is a question of Danica's taste. In her previous life, Danica didn't like to eat meat, and she even repels large pieces of meat. But the meat is indeed quite fragrant, so for her, it's the best feeling that she can taste the meat but cannot eat meat. This is also because her rich life in her previous life made her develop this habit. In this world, being able to eat a large piece of fat is a real enjoyment. Danica's approach is a waste of resources.
