My village can't be like this

Chapter 299 White Meat
Seeing that everyone was cutting meat, Zhang An was excited and wanted to cut a few catties now.

"Uncle, give me a knife here."

Zhang An pointed to the two hind legs, and then gestured for a range.

"Zhang An, your family is going to kill pigs tomorrow, why are you still arguing with me for meat?"

"Haha, I see that everyone is cutting meat, I'm so hungry, and I'm going to have some fun."

Lin Youde picked up the whetstone, and clang the butcher's knife in his hand.

Then, according to Zhang An's gesture, he drew a circle in a silky circle.

Not too much, but not too little, Zhang An cut off two pieces of hind legs that were thinner and fatter.

Because the people here have less fat and no fat, few people want to come here.

Today, Zhang An saw that they had taken them all, not much, only about ten catties.

Here is the hind leg of the pig, which actually has another name called "two-knife meat".

Pig killing is divided into three cuts, and "one cut of meat" is the place where the first cut is made after the pig is slaughtered.

Generally, the circle of the pig's buttocks and pig's tail is cut off first, so it is called "one-knife meat".

And the second knife is the area where Zhang An gestured just now.

It is a little bit up from several pork legs, and the meat quality is the best in the hind legs.

This is the hind leg meat, also known as "two knife meat", or sitting butt meat.

The third cut is pork belly, usually on the belly of the pig, which is what everyone calls the rib meat.

The meat that everyone often buys is basically two or three dollars.

The two-knife meat is characterized by being four fat and six thin. Zhang An thinks it is the best part of the whole pig.

Three-knife pork is layered pork belly, fat and thin, fat and thin.

Due to the current living conditions, most rural people like fat meat full of fat.

When the big fat meat was sold out, everyone chose pork belly as the next best option.

A very small number of people will directly choose the leaner buttock meat.

Delicious is delicious, but this thing has too much lean meat, so it doesn't have much oil and water, so it doesn't get everyone's favor.

But wait a few more years until everyone's living conditions improve.

At that time, what everyone pursues is no longer to be full, but to be full and eat well.

At this time, this "two-knife meat" began to be liked by everyone, and then the price increased all the way, becoming the most expensive part of the pig.

"Two-knife meat" is the best choice for making some meat dishes or smoked bacon because of its good meat quality and less fat.

As for Zhang An's favorite dish in his previous life, Li Zhuang's white meat, he chose the best "two-knife meat".

After returning from Zhang An, every year the bacon smoked by their family must have "two-knife meat".

And there is not much "two-knife meat" on each pig.

So when the village slaughtered the New Year pigs during the Chinese New Year, Zhang An bought a lot of "two-knife meat" that no one bought and smoked it.

Even though he usually gives a lot of bacon to his friends, this bacon is smoked with "Er Dao Pork".

He was not at all reluctant to give it away, and kept everything for himself.

At noon, the women in the house finished the meal and began to yell for everyone to sit down.

"This white meat is really delicious. It looks fat and it doesn't taste greasy at all."

Chen Ze picked up a slice of white meat from the pot, dipped it in the hot pepper water and put it in his mouth, enjoying it.

White meat is an essential part of pig dishes, and women cook a large piece every time.

Then cut it into thick pieces of meat, cook it in a pot over low heat, and then eat it with chili water.

When the meat is cooked, it is specially cooked, so the big white meat slices taste fat but not greasy.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to get Chen Ze's favor. After all, this person doesn't like to eat fatty meat and is very picky eater.

I had a meal at Zhang An's house last year, and I haven't forgotten the taste until this year.

"This meat is delicious. I'll get you something even better when I go back tonight."

That's right, Zhang An is talking about Li Zhuang Bairou.

Zhang An liked it very much after eating it once before, so he specially went to learn it later.

It's just that the knife skills were too poor in the past, and the cut meat slices were "not too thin".

But now, Zhang An has been practicing hard for many years, and his knife skills have reached the point where he can become a master.

The little Li Zhuang Bairou must be within reach.

As in previous years, it was already afternoon after drinking and eating.

After the women cleaned up the dishes on the table, the elders continued to drink and brag on the table.

This is an essential and important part of every year.

After Zhang An sat for a while, he got up and went home with Chen Ze.

If it's something to talk about, he will naturally be present, but if the elders are bragging, he is a young man who is not yet old enough to join.

Of course, the most important thing is that the old man's topic, they young people can't get in their mouths.

Instead of just sitting there, it's better to do what you should do.

Walking out on the road, when approaching the village entrance, Zhang An found Huang Ming walking towards him.

There is actually a girl traveling with this guy.

He is not tall, less than 1.6 meters tall, although he has some freckles on his face.

But the whole person looks generous.

This should be Huang Ming's fellow countryman. I heard the ladies in the village talking about it some time ago.

Looking at it like this, the result of the blind date between the two is still interesting, otherwise the girl wouldn't come out with him.

The two walked side by side all the way, talking a few words from time to time.

But Zhang An's eyes were sharp, and at a glance, he could see that Daming Zi was a little uncomfortable.

The guy put his hand in his pocket for a while, and took it out again for a while.

Moreover, Zhang An actually found a shy expression on this guy's face, which is simply unbelievable.

You know, when this guy was fooling around in the town before, his skin was as thick as the city wall.

Seeing Huang Ming like this, Zhang An shook his head secretly. It seems that the formerly unrestrained and unrestrained Young Master Huang has also met his opponent now.

Originally, when the two were walking on the road, it felt like Huang Ming was shaking his hands all the time, as if he wanted to hold someone.

After wandering around for a long time, it seemed that he mustered up his courage at last. When he was about to make a move, Zhang An suddenly appeared.

"Hey, Daming, who is this? Don't you want to introduce me?"

Zhang An's sudden appearance made Huang Ming blush.

He put his hands in his pockets for the first time, as if he had been discovered by an adult at home for doing something bad.

Seeing the mischievous Zhang An, Su Ying stared and slapped him.

The two young people were already shy, but Zhang An still made trouble.

"Brother An, this is my date Li Xiaoying. Their house is in Maocaoping. I just came back from their house."

Huang Ming scratched his head unconsciously, and said with a shy smile.

"Yingzi, this is Brother Xiaoan, and the one next to him is sister-in-law, our school teacher, Qiangzi is in sister-in-law's class."

"Xiao An, sister-in-law, hello."

Probably because of the first meeting, this girl is a little shy.

But he still blushed and greeted Zhang An.

"Sister, you are also good, you are Li Xiaoqiang's sister, no wonder I look familiar."

Su Ying ignored Zhang An and warmly greeted Li Xiaoying.

Women's friendship always comes quickly, and they become friends in a short time.

Those who didn't know thought they were friends who had known each other for a long time.

"Okay, don't delay the two of you. Tomorrow, my family will kill a pig. Remember to come here, and my sister will come to play with me."

After talking for a while, Zhang An felt that Huang Ming seemed to have something to do, so he didn't delay them any further.

"Hey, okay, brother An."

Looking at the figures of the two going away, Zhang An couldn't help but lamented that time passed too quickly.

In the blink of an eye, Daming Zi has also fallen in love with someone, and it is estimated that he will get married soon next year.Back home, Su Ying was busy registering the students' transcripts. Tomorrow morning was the time for the students to receive their grades.

Today, all the other teachers in the school have registered their grades, and in the end there is Su Ying's Chinese.

Originally Su Ying was not the head teacher, but because Su Ying lived in the village.

So the class teachers of the two classes entrusted Su Ying with sending out the transcripts.

Anyway, the winter vacation homework or other things to be explained have already been finished before the holiday.

Tomorrow morning, Su Ying will take the report card and send it over, and everything will be fine.

Zhang An had nothing to do, so he cleaned up the yard.

If three pigs are to be killed this year, it must be in this yard.

Although the courtyard of the old main house is also very large, it is inconvenient since I haven't lived in it for a long time.

"Old Chen, follow me to the old house to drive pigs."

After feeding the pigs at noon today, I will not feed them again in the evening and tomorrow morning.

After all, it was slaughtered at home, and if the stomach was empty one day in advance, it would be easier to slaughter the pigs tomorrow, without having to dig out so much pig feces.

So after Zhang An cleaned up the yard, he asked Chen Ze to drive the pigs out together.

"Then let me find a stick."

Chen Ze got up, looked around the yard, and found a bamboo stick.

"Find a stick and take Xiaohu and them there, it will work better than any stick."

The pigs raised by Zhang An's family are just like the sheep in the pen. They are very afraid of Xiaohu and them.

When he came to the old house, Zhang An found that Li Laifu and the two strangers were sneakily watching in front of his old yard.

Seeing Zhang An coming, they quickly returned to their home.

If it was only the last time, Zhang An would still feel nothing.

But these guys are always so sneaky, maybe they don't want to do some tricks in their hearts.

"Zhang An, these people don't look normal."

Chen Ze looked at the backs of several people, and spoke next to Zhang An.

"I also feel a little abnormal, sneaky."

Zhang An took a deep look into the courtyard of the Li family before opening the gate.

Opening the door of the pigsty, Zhang An drove out tomorrow's three pigs.

There was one native pig left inside, which Zhou Yang had already ordered.

As soon as the pigs came out of the pigsty, they wanted to fly freely like wild horses that had run loose.

But after seeing the little tiger staring at him, he could only lower his head obediently.

"Yoko, I'm going to drive the pig out today, and I won't let my mother come over to feed the remaining pig. You can feed it twice today and tomorrow."

There was only one pig left, and Zhang An didn't want his mother to run around.

Anyway, Zhou Yang's family is close, and the pig has been sold to their family, so it's okay for them to feed it for two days.

Although Zhou Yang built a new house before getting married, his family still lives in the old house on weekdays.

After all, their family's restaurant is here, and the new house will have to wait until the dam is closed next year, and then the restaurant will be moved down.

"Okay, uncle, we will just feed it some cabbage leaves when the time comes. Anyway, there are only a day or two left."

In winter, we have a lot of cabbage in the fields. When we cut it and eat it ourselves, the old leaves outside are for the pigs to eat.

If they are raised for a long time, they will be chopped into pieces and cooked before feeding.

But there are only two days left, just give the vegetable leaves directly to save trouble.

After Zhang An gave Zhou Yang the key to the yard, he asked Xiaohu to drive the three pigs back.

The three soil pigs are easier to raise than wild boars, and all of them are fat and big ears.

It was estimated to be about three to four hundred pounds in size. When walking on the road, it blocked the road.

"It's still Zhang An's big fat pig, Ba Shi, with one head supporting our family's two."

On the way, when I met Zhang An's neighbors who were driving pigs, they all looked envious.

According to the price of a raw pig at [-] yuan, one of these can be sold for several hundred yuan.

Zhang An's family earns more from raising pigs in one year than other people's crops in the previous year.

After driving the pigs into the pen, Zhang An went to find Huatou and his family.

Zhang An was a little worried when he found the sneaky Li Laifu again today.

You must not have the heart to harm others, but you must have the heart to guard against others.

So let Huatou go to the old house to stay and see what these guys want to do.

At night, Chen Ze was still thinking about what Zhang An said during the day that he would give him a good treat.

So Zhang An picked out a piece of "two-knife meat" and blanched it in water.

Then mix it with a sachet and put it in a pot to cook.

The cooking time should not be short, at least one hour.

Zhang An's family actually has a pressure cooker, but such dishes are more delicious when cooked in a casserole.

Zhang An didn't do dipping, this is Wang Fang's specialty.

He certainly wouldn't play tricks in front of his own mother.

After the meat was cooked, Zhang An didn't rush to take it out, but let it suffocate in the jar for half the salary.

If the meat wants to be delicious, it mainly depends on two aspects. On the one hand, the spice recipe for cooking the meat.

In addition, after it is cooked, the meat has to be simmered for a while.

This was what Zhang An was told by an old man who was in charge of the cook when Zhang An went to a banquet.

When Zhang An used to make it, he took it out after cooking, cooled it, and then sliced ​​it.

Later, after Zhang An made it according to his method, he found that it was indeed more delicious.

The temperature is very low in winter, and the steaming meat that was fished out just now cooled down after a while.

This piece of meat is more than 20 centimeters long and more than ten centimeters wide.

Zhang An was going to film it without interruption.

Holding the heaviest large kitchen knife in the house, Zhang An began to slice the meat.

A light kitchen knife is not suitable for this kind of work. Anyway, Zhang An has strength, so of course the heavier the kitchen knife, the better.

As the kitchen knife was embedded in the meat, Zhang An's hand holding the knife was still trembling, and he sliced ​​it off bit by bit.

While the slices were indeed thin, they were not uniform.

Although Zhang An's knife skills are very good, it is not easy to slice such meat.

It takes a lot of time for those chefs in big hotels to slice such a plate of meat.

Suddenly Zhang An remembered the hot "qi" from the morning exercise, and then Zhang An focused on luck.

Then he transported this "qi" to the right hand holding the knife, laid his left hand flat on the flesh, and moved with the knife in his right hand.

Zhang An was overjoyed, it really worked.

His right hand, which was trembling before, no longer trembled at all, and the speed of the sliced ​​meat became very fast.

"Hiss, Zhang An, your sliced ​​meat is absolutely perfect, it feels as thin as paper in a book."

Chen Ze looked at Zhang An's piece of meat, and then picked up a piece of meat to look at the lamp, and he could still see the looming light bulb.

"It's amazing. It's the first time I've seen someone cut the meat so thinly, and it's still such a big piece of meat."

"Well, you're right, it's really delicious."

Chen Ze took a piece of meat and looked at it. After suddenly smelling the aroma of meat, he couldn't help stuffing it into his mouth and started eating.

"It's delicious, then eat more later."

It didn't take long for Zhang An to slice a whole piece of meat and place it neatly on the plate.

"Then you must eat more, Lao Ding and the others are not lucky, they can't eat such good things."

Then the last dish in Wang Fang's pot was out of the pot, and everyone was waiting on the table, like a baby bird waiting to be fed.

　This morning, the village started hearing about it. I thought it would be delivered in the afternoon, but it didn’t arrive until around ten o’clock in the evening. I apologize for the late chapter.
