"What's your boss calling me by my name?"

Xu Zhuo took the bowl, sat down with the bowl and smelled it, the aroma was very strong, and there was also a smell of sauce, which made him feel hungry immediately.

Subconsciously, he took a piece of meat and put it into his mouth, and chewed it lightly. Xu Zhuo really didn't expect bacon to be so delicious, which completely changed his impression of bacon.

The bacon tastes very fragrant, and the fat in the meat is absorbed by the rice, so it doesn't taste so greasy, but rather refreshing.

Moreover, when the bacon is chewed, it has a faint sauce aroma and sweetness, obviously with soy sauce.

But ordinary soy sauce doesn't seem to have such a strong taste. Could this be the sauce I mixed myself?

If this is the case, then Wei Junming will not be ignorant, and Yao Meixiang will make it clear.

He took another bite of the rice. The rice is super delicious. The rice grains are covered with fat but the grains are distinct. It tastes like eating pork bibimbap, but the taste and texture of this rice are stronger than lard bibimbap. good.

The reason is easy to find. Lard bibimbap is cooked rice mixed with lard and soy sauce. The fat and salt are on the surface of the rice grains.

During the cooking process of this bowl of stewed rice, the fat and salt in the bacon have been absorbed by the rice grains, making the rice particularly enjoyable to eat.

Xu Zhuo originally planned to taste a couple of bites, to feel the taste of bacon stewed rice, and then bid farewell and go back.

At home, there is also a stewed fish head. If you eat too much stewed rice, the fish head will not be able to eat, and according to Li Hao's urine, the fish head will never be left.

But after tasting the bacon stewed rice, he couldn't stop the car, and he ate up a bowl of bacon stewed rice in one go.

Wiping his mouth, Xu Zhuo gave Cao Mama a thumbs up: "Auntie, the bacon stewed rice you made is really delicious, can you tell me how to make it?"

Seeing that Xu Zhuo likes it, Mama Cao immediately beamed with joy: "The method is very simple. Cook the bacon, chop it and mix it with the rice, and then cut it into some vegetables. You can chop whatever you want. It doesn't matter. When it's done, go to it." Pour water into the pot and start boiling, add some soy sauce when the cooking is almost done, and let it simmer for a while..."

This approach seems to be similar to what Yao Meixiang said.

But why does it taste so good?

Xu Zhuo couldn't figure it out. He didn't know if there was any trick in it.

But if there is, Yao Meixiang shouldn't know about it, and even if Yao Meixiang doesn't understand it, wouldn't Wei Junming also understand it?

He is a culinary idiot, a man who never misses any opportunity to learn about cooking.

Mama Cao was holding Xu Zhuo's bowl and was going to fill up the rice again, but Xu Zhuo stopped her, "Enough is enough, I'm full, Auntie, can I have a look at your soy sauce?"

A bowl full of bacon stewed rice filled Xu Zhuo's stomach. Now his interest in stewed rice has shifted to the soy sauce Mama Cao used.

Xu Zhuo asked himself that he had seen many soy sauce brands, but he had never had such a deep impression on him like the soy sauce in stewed rice.

This taste is a bit like the soy sauce in the scallion noodles, but the taste is slightly different.

Because too much white sugar is added to the sauce of scallion noodles, it tastes very sweet after eating, but the taste of soy sauce is not very strong.

However, this bacon stewed rice has a strong sauce flavor, but the sweetness is very light.

Xu Zhuo had never tasted this kind of soy sauce, so he was more interested.

If it's the soy sauce, see what brand it is, and just buy some later, it's easy!

However, after he asked to see the soy sauce, Mother Cao was obviously stunned: "What's the point of this? It's homemade soy sauce. It doesn't taste good. You have to reconcile it before you can use it..."

She spoke a little too fast, Xu Zhuo didn't quite understand: "What? Reconcile it? How did you reconcile it? Auntie, please teach me..."

Cao Kun also finished his bacon stewed rice at this moment, and came to the kitchen with a bowl. When Xu Zhuo asked about the soy sauce, he said, "Many people in Sichuan like to eat their own soy sauce, and so does my mother." , I am not used to the ones I bought, but the raw soy sauce tastes too strong, I can't bear it..."

After speaking, he put down the bowl and went to get the bacon.

Mother Cao was in the kitchen, teaching Xu Zhuo how to make blended soy sauce.

This kind of soy sauce is also called replica soy sauce, that is, secondary processed soy sauce, which has a richer taste and can be flexibly adjusted according to the taste you want.

The specific method is not difficult. Mother Cao was worried that Xu Zhuo could not understand Sichuan dialect, so she demonstrated it to Xu Zhuo.

When Xu Zhuo saw a large jar full of homemade soy sauce in the kitchen, he was immediately overwhelmed with envy.

He was very interested in self-brewed soy sauce before, although home-brewed soy sauce has many disadvantages, such as not easy to preserve, difficult to stabilize the taste, and too difficult to make.

But because it does not contain any additives, and the taste is relatively simple, it is a favorite of high-end chefs.

The soy sauce on the market, no matter the so-called ancient handmade soy sauce or the synthetic soy sauce of various flavors, inevitably contains additives. It is difficult to find soy sauce with pure taste.

I didn't expect to meet him by mistake, which was really a surprise.

Mama Cao scooped out half a bowl of soy sauce from the pot, poured it into a pot and boiled it slowly. At the same time, she threw star anise leaves and a few peppercorns into it, and finally added a spoonful of sugar.

"Homemade soy sauce has no taste other than salty, so you have to boil it before eating to increase the aroma and sweetness, so that the taste is better..."

Chapter 255 Copying Soy Sauce

The soy sauce was simmering slowly in the pot, and Mama Cao repeated the steps and precautions while stirring it gently.

"If you are making cold dishes, cook for a while longer, if you are making stewed rice or stir-fried vegetables, cook for a while less. The longer the cooking time, the saltier the soy sauce will be, but the taste will be more fragrant. It depends on how you use it."

Mother Cao didn't know how Xu Zhuo was going to use this replica soy sauce, so she tried to explain it as carefully as possible, lest he wouldn't understand.

When it is almost boiled, turn off the heat, then take out the soy sauce, and then add it as appropriate when it is used. Put the boiled soy sauce in the refrigerator, and there will be no problem with it for a week.

Xu Zhuo dipped his chopsticks in the boiled soy sauce and put it in his mouth to taste it. It tasted really good. After heating, it didn't have the strong taste of raw sauce, but instead had a strong aroma of soy sauce.

And in this taste, there is also a faint fragrance of seasoning, with a slightly sweet aftertaste, which is the taste of the bacon stewed rice just eaten.

"Auntie, can I get a bottle of this soy sauce?"

When Mother Cao heard this, she bent down and picked up the jars on the ground: "Take them all if you like them. Anyway, I am the only one who likes to eat this soy sauce in my family. Both his father and father think it tastes bad..."

Xu Zhuo scratched his head, although the soy sauce was very good, but now he didn't know how to use it other than cooking bacon stewed rice, and he was going to move soon, so he might not be able to keep this jar of soy sauce.

After serious consideration, he smiled and refused: "Just give me a bottle, I can't finish eating too much. If I need it in the future, I will make an appointment with you in advance. Then you can brew some for me at home."

Mama Cao said with some embarrassment: "You have to say this in advance. The soy sauce must be brewed for at least half a year before it tastes good. If you don't have enough time, you won't have this taste."

Xu Zhuo nodded: "No problem, I will tell Brother Kun when I need it."

While the two were talking, Cao Kun came in with a woven bag. He packed a set of cured pork ribs, about [-] catties of bacon and a whole leg of cured pork.

When Xu Zhuo saw it, he quickly asked him to take it out: "It's too much, we can't eat it all these days, it's too much, just take two yuan to make bacon stewed rice."

Cao Kun and Cao's mother immediately refused: "I can't do it, I can't do it. Our family doesn't have much, but we have a lot of bacon. Take more, and you can eat it when you go to the Central Plains."

After pushing each other for a while, Xu Zhuo accepted it.

Before leaving, Xu Zhuo thought that Madam Cao could make bacon and soy sauce, so he said to her, "Auntie, if you have nothing to do at home, make more bacon, and I will come to buy it when my restaurant needs it later, and treat it as a help for me." It's done, what do you think?"

Mother Cao naturally agreed.

Finding a clean beverage bottle, Xu Zhuo washed it and filled it with soy sauce.

The taste of this raw soy sauce is really strong, Xu Zhuo even wanted to retch a little when he put the soy sauce in it, the smell of raw soy sauce, I can't tell what it is, anyway, it doesn't smell very good.

Then the two of them took soy sauce and the other carried a woven bag. After bidding farewell to Mama Cao, they took a taxi back to Yao Meixiang's house.

When the two of them got into the taxi, Yu Keke called: "Where have you been? It's time to eat. The fish head made by your grandfather is so delicious. I think it is comparable to the one made by my grandfather." Come back quickly, or Li Hao will snatch them all up..."

In the past, Li Hao was the only one with a big stomach in the family, so he kept some food away, for fear that everyone would dislike him.

Now that he has Meng Liwei, he can let go. Anyway, there are people who have the same appetite as him, even if they are disgusted, they will back them up.

By the time Xu Zhuo and Cao Kun entered the house, half of the braised fish head made by the old man had been eaten.

The old man looked at the bottle of soy sauce in Xu Zhuo's hand, and asked curiously, "What is it? It's dark. Are you going to learn calligraphy?"

Xu Zhuo unscrewed the bottle cap and let the old man smell it: "This is the authentic soy sauce brewed by the local method. The taste is not very good, but if it is reprocessed into a replica soy sauce, it will taste delicious."

The old man took a sniff, turned his face to look at Cao Kun and asked, "From your family?"

Cao Kun nodded: "My mother made it, and it doesn't taste very good. She eats it alone at home."

Wei Junming came over to smell it, looked at Cao Kun and asked, "Is your mother from Luzhou?"

Cao Kun nodded: "Yes, master, how do you know?"

"The Chishui River, the eternal flow, goes up to make wine and goes down to make oil. The boatmen are suffering and the boatmen are worried. Fortunately, there is no shortage of wine and oil. This is the ship number I heard when I was in Luzhou. It is said that every local family can make soy sauce. But few people do it now, right?"

Cao Kun nodded: "It's true that there are not many, but it's not that there are many families in the mountain. It's not easy to buy daily necessities. I still like to process soy sauce by myself. But the taste..."

Wei Junming smelled the soy sauce again, and the taste was really ordinary.

Of course, not everyone in the countryside can make home-brewed soy sauce as delicious as it is shown in the documentary. This kind of soy sauce, which tastes generally earthy, is the most common home-brewed soy sauce in rural areas.

Of course, the wisdom of the people is infinite. Although the soy sauce brewed by ourselves is not good, everyone has found a way to copy soy sauce in their daily lives.

Only in this way can the soy sauce be rejuvenated.

Even the old man was moved by this soy sauce.

"This sauce tastes really pure, Cao Kun, tell your mother to ask her to make more in the future, and our restaurant plans to use this kind of soy sauce later."

Yu Ke could see that everyone was very interested in this soy sauce, so he leaned over and smelled it, and almost retched immediately.

"It tastes weird, can this be eaten?"

Xu Zhuo handed her a tissue: "After processing it, it won't have this smell. I just ate a bowl of bacon stewed rice at Brother Kun's mother's house. The taste is absolutely amazing. She used this kind of soy sauce. "

When Yu Keke heard it, his resistance to the soy sauce dropped a lot, but he still had lingering fears.

The old man saw it very clearly: "This kind of soy sauce is just like the soybean paste in Northeast China. It has a relatively simple taste, except for the salty soy sauce taste, there is no other taste."

"However, there are many ways to eat Northeastern miso. It can be used as a dipping sauce, stewed meat, or cooked. The reason is that the miso has a pure taste and can be matched with any combination."

"Now this soy sauce is the same as miso. You can blend it into any flavor you want, which is very convenient."

Then the old man and Wei Junming took a look at the bacon brought by Cao Kun. The quality was excellent, much better than the mass-produced ones sold in supermarkets.

Wei Junming looked regretful, and couldn't help complaining to Cao Kun: "Why didn't you tell me earlier when there are such good ingredients at home? Well, let your mother help me process 5 yuan of bacon when I have nothing to do. I will make it tomorrow. Money for you..."

Chapter 256 Boss Xu's Harem Invincible

For 5 yuan, if you buy meat, you can buy several thousand catties. Whether Wei Junming eats it for himself or uses it in a restaurant, he will never need that much.

He gave Cao Kun so much money mainly because he wanted to help Cao Kun.

Since his divorce, life has been a mess, and his parents are still living in the countryside, so they can help if they can.

Cao Kun asked with some embarrassment: "Master, if you buy meat for 5 yuan, you can buy several thousand catties. How can you eat so much spicy food?"

He is not good at this point, if you put it nicely, it is called honesty, but if you say it badly, it is dead-headed.

If you have 5 yuan, just take it first, and eat slowly if you can't finish it.

Wei Junming said: "The 5 yuan is the money I paid in advance to buy bacon, but I have a request, as long as the bacon made of local pigs in the countryside, any part is fine, 5 yuan will be given to me...Give me [-] yuan. A hundred catties of bacon will do, what do you think?"

What else can Cao Kun say, there must be 1 votes in favor.

Calculated at 100 yuan per catty, even if all the local pigs raised in the countryside can be used to earn more than half.

Moreover, Wei Junming didn't ask for time. Cao Kun could have asked Mama Cao to raise two pigs at home, or asked relatives to help raise a few pigs, which would be killed and made into bacon next year. This would ensure the quality and earn more money.

Of course, Cao Kun also understood that it was Wei Junming who was helping him, so he nodded and agreed.

Put the bacon in the kitchen to hang up, and then everyone began to eat.

Sitting next to Yu Keke, Xu Zhuo took a piece of braised fish head in the middle and tasted it. It tasted really good.

The fish is tender and delicious, the soup is rich, and because the bones inside have been pulled out, you can eat as much as you want.

After tasting a few mouthfuls of stewed fish head, Xu Zhuo ate some more fish fillets and put down his chopsticks after drinking less than half a bowl of fish soup.

"Small? Why don't you eat it? It doesn't suit your appetite?"

Xu Zhuo shook his head: "I'm full from the bacon stewed rice just now. I'll make it for you tomorrow. It will definitely satisfy you. If you don't eat bacon stewed rice, I don't know that bacon is so delicious."

Yao Meixiang smiled proudly: "What's not delicious in our Sichuan? Everything is delicious. It's a pity that if I want to follow you to the Central Plains, I don't know if I can get used to the food there..."

Yu Keke said quickly: "Then it depends on the skill of the person who cooks for you. If he cooks for you with all his heart, he will be the same as in Rongcheng wherever he goes."

After finishing speaking, the girl kicked Wei Junming lightly.

When this kind of performance occurs, my godfather will always be slow.

Xu Wenhai, on the other hand, can always flatter Chen Guifang just right, and it seems very natural.
