Chapter 125 Pickled and Stewed Fresh

"Father, why don't you care about me?!" Su Yunman gripped her father's clothes and complained for a while.

"Your brother is playing with you." Su Genliang happily looked at the person who was close to Master Qingxian.Nangong Qingxian came over.He looked at his aggrieved little daughter, and said to Nangong Qingxian: "You can't bully your sister like this in the future."

Nangong Qingxian readily agreed, but Su Yunman saw a mixed answer from his eyes.

"What is this?" Su Yunman wanted to say something more, but was attracted by the things in the basin.The thing soaked in the tub is like a miniature version of bamboo.The plants are gray-green and yellow and appear as one long vertical tube.

"This is a horsetail." Su Genliang picked up one and handed it to his little daughter.

Su Yunman pinched it and found that the grass was hollow, like a straw.The surface is rough.There are many small thorns on it.

"What is this for?"

Su Genliang grabbed a handful, drained the water, and wrapped around the legs of the bamboo bed, holding one end with one hand, and pulling back and forth, "This horsetail is used to cure this wooden bone."

This horsetail is also called rasp grass and mosaic grass.Also known as ancient sandpaper. It is also recorded in "Compendium of Materia Medica" that Materia Medica has knots, thick and astringent.If you use it to deal with wood bone, it will be sanded clean, like a thief of wood.Generally, after autumn harvest, it is dried and shrunk into a ball.Soak in warm water when using to restore straightness.

Su Yunman hasn't seen it yet.Only then did she realize that it was the sandpaper used by ancient carpenters, but it was more environmentally friendly.In fact, horsetail is not usually used for bamboo beds.Su Genquan was worried that his little daughter would be stabbed by the bamboo thorn, so he took out the bamboo thorn and wiped it carefully.

It's a time-consuming job, but anyone can do it.Su Genliang and Nangong Qingxian didn't finish it until lunch.

In the morning, Li Ce brought some food.Seeing that the little master was busy helping, he picked up important things and left after finishing talking.

This time he sent a large piece of air-dried meat and pork belly.When Xu Xiumei came back from Jiang's house, she wanted to do something.After all, the Jiang family can also eat some meat.

"Mother, make fish porridge. It's easy to digest." Su Yunxue followed her mother in the kitchen.In the cage that her father collected this morning, there is a ferocious aconitum, a perch and two long crucian carp the size of a palm.

"Okay, let's marinate the air-dried meat and stew it fresh." Xu Xiumei deliberately showed her skills in front of the Jiang family, and quickly prepared the lunch mix.

Air-dried meat is made from the front legs of pigs.It is a cured pork cross between ham and bacon.The bacon is dark red, and the wind meat is orange-yellow and drier than bacon.

This is the practice in the southern part of the Great Lakes.Usually in the rainy season, the pork is washed, sprinkled with nitrate brine, soaked in salt, soaked in a special brine for 20 days, and then dried and soaked in new soy sauce for a day or two.Dry in a ventilated place until the meat is dry.

Because it is air-dried, it is called air-dried meat.This kind of meat can only be fully released when it is stewed with fresh meat.

Pickled and stewed fresh is the most popular dish in Jiangnan.Almost everyone loves it.Pickled refers to air-dried meat, stew refers to slow fire, and fresh refers to fresh meat and spring bamboo shoots.The translation is to put the air-dried meat and fresh meat spring bamboo shoots in a pot and stew them.

There are nearly ten people in the Su family and the Jiang family.Xu Xiumeishi thought of Nangong Qingxian's appetite.He cut more than half of the air-dried meat, which was about a catty, and added more than a catty of pork belly, and cut them into pieces.

Under her mother's arrangement, Su Yunxue took out a handful of dried ferns left over from last year from the cupboard, and threw them into warm water to soak.
