Through 1979

When he got home, Li Ran rushed directly into the kitchen. On the way, he had already told Li's mother that today's lunch would be cooked by him.Li Ma believed in his craftsmanship, and immediately agreed after hearing this.

In the kitchen, Li Ma went to the stove and lit the fire inside first. Li Ran went to cut out the fat first, then cleaned the pot with a loofah, and then planned to fry the oil residue.

Li Ran has done this before. His son Xiaogang likes to eat lard. Li Ran is afraid that the lard bought outside is not clean. Besides, the lard he fried himself is cheap and hygienic, so he also made it at home before. this one.

Frying oil residue also needs to have technology. If the technology is not good, there will be two situations. One is that there is still oil in the oil residue, which is wasteful.One is that it is over-fried, it looks like a pitch-black mass, and there is no appetite at all. When it is eaten, it still smells like a paste.

Grandpa Li Ran loves bitterness and sweetness. When he misses the old days, he occasionally uses oil residue to make food, so some people born in the 80s have never eaten oil residue, but Li Ran is not in this range.

Li Ran first cut the whole catty of pork into three parts, pork skin, fat meat, and lean meat, and put them in different dishes.

It is impossible to scrape off the hair on the pigskin with a knife. Li Ran put the pigskin into the boiling red pot with chopsticks, and brushed it lightly over it. The pig hairs disappeared immediately, and the pigskin also become clean.

Then he threw the sliced ​​fat meat into the pot and kept stirring it with a spatula. Slowly, the white fat meat turned golden yellow, and golden yellow gradually appeared in the pot. In the end, the fat turned into golden oily residue, and Li Ran knew it was ready to cook.

Scoop up the oil residue and put it on a plate, then spoon the oil into the oil jar, and the oil residue will be fried.

Li Ma looked at Li Ran's skillful craftsmanship and nodded with satisfaction.

Then Li Ran poured water into the pot and asked Li Ma to turn up the fire, planning to make pork bone soup later.

He washed the pig bones first, and when the water boiled, he threw the pig bones in. After cooking for nearly 10 minutes, he took out the pig bones and washed them one by one with a clean cloth, especially the bones. The blood foam and impurities in the seams were carefully removed.

Then break the bone and split it into two pieces.When Li Ma's re-boiled water boiled, she threw the pork bones in again, along with the prepared scallions, ginger slices, and chopped white radishes.After such pork bones are simmered for 3 or 4 hours on low heat, they will become fragrant pork bone soup.

Li's mother didn't know what he was going to do at first, but seeing Li Ran doing it smoothly, she also believed that it could be eaten by people and taste good.

Li Ran was afraid that Li Ma would suspect how he knew how to eat this way, so he said: "Mom, this pork bone stew soup is the most nutritious, and many people make it like this, but I am afraid that if you say it, there will be too many people buying pork bones, and he can't grab it by himself." It’s just arrived, so I kept it a secret. I also heard it by accident.”

Li Ran said while covering his face in his heart, he has lied so much recently that he didn't even blink his eyes.

After finishing this, Li Ran looked at the sky outside, and understood that this bone soup can only be eaten at night, but there is no way, the weather is hot, so he can only prepare this kind of meat food first, so as not to spoil it. It has to be kept warm all the time.

In this case, we have to prepare another dish at noon. What kind of dish can pork be used for?There are many dishes, but Li Ran understands that most of the dishes cannot be cooked. One is that there are a lot of ingredients at this time, and the poor family does not have them prepared. Second, even if there are ingredients, Li Ma will not let him spread them lavishly. in.

Looking at the oil residue and lean meat, Li Ran thought about it and decided to make oil residue lotus and pork belly with garlic sprouts.

The name of this dish looks very elegant, but the ingredients are actually very simple, that is, oil residue, lotus root, that is, cabbage, green onion, ginger, garlic, and salt are fried together.

Li Ran first cut the cabbage into strips, and cut the onion, ginger and garlic into small pieces and was ready.Then pour the oil residue into another pot, and refine it a little bit over low heat. After the oil residue has released some oil, add the onion, ginger, and garlic.

As soon as the onion, ginger and garlic were put into the pot, there was a scent coming out.Then pour in the lotus root and stir-fry, and add a small spoonful of water at the same time, so as not to dry the vegetables.

After constantly stirring and frying, a bowl of fragrant oil residue lotus white is made.

Mama Li went over and tasted it with chopsticks. At this time, there was already a dish called Lianbai with oil residue, and then she nodded appreciatively, it was very well fried.

For the dish of Pork Belly with Garlic Sprouts, the best raw material is pork belly with the meat and skin not separated.But Li Ran had already divided the pork belly into three parts in order to fry the oil residue, and the fat meat was all fried with oil residue, so now he can only make do with it.

Li Ran washed the pigskin and lean meat first, then put them into a boiling water pot and boiled them until they were half-ripe, then fished them out, let them cool and cut them into thick slices; Wash the green garlic sprouts and cut into small pieces for later use.

When the meat was almost cool, Li Ran first poured oil into the frying pan and heated it up, then put chopped green onion into the frying pan, then poured in pork skin and lean meat, and fried them until they slowly shrank, then added green garlic sprouts, salt, and Stir fry the cooking wine and monosodium glutamate a few times, and when the aroma comes out, take it out of the pan and put it on a plate.

After the dish is finished, the color is shiny, the meat slices are smooth and soft, and the strong garlic smell is tangy, which will whet the appetite.

At noon, the fourth brother and fifth sister came back with tiger cubs in their arms. They were very pleasantly surprised when they saw the meat. During the meal, bowl after bowl, especially pork belly with garlic sprouts, which was really popular. Mom: "Mom, is there any oily residue that just came out at home? I'll mix some sugar later."

Oil residue is mixed with white sugar. The fourth brother often eats it like this when there is a lot of meat in the Chinese New Year and there is oil residue left from frying at home.

Li Ma couldn't remember if there was any leftover oil residue, so she turned around and asked Li Ran: "Is there any oil residue? If there is any, you little ones can add a spoonful of white sugar and eat that. It's hot, so put it in." Not long."

Li Ran was eating pork belly with garlic sprouts, and thought of the scene of adding oil residue and sugar, he shuddered. He had never been so lucky for a moment. Fortunately, he tried to save trouble and wiped off the oil residue at once, otherwise the oil residue would be mixed with sugar. What kind of "ecstasy" taste: "It's gone, I fried all the oil residue, but I left some in the kitchen, and I will bring them to my father later, I'm afraid the fourth brother can't mix it into sugar."

The fourth brother couldn't hear it, and thought that the oily residue and white lotus tasted great, so he didn't have any sad expression.

I haven't touched meat for a long time, and the small bowl of oily white lotus and pork belly with garlic sprouts on the table will be consumed in a short while, and the cubs don't bite people to feed them. They eat deliciously by themselves, and even eat more bowls of rice than usual, Li Ran. It is also a full stomach.

Touching his stomach, Li Ran thought that the current oily residue is more delicious than the future ones, maybe because the current pigs are thinner, so there are many crunchy and fragrant tissues in the oily residue, while the pigs in the future will have too much fat. If it is too high, not only will there not be much oil residue left after refining, but it will still look chubby, and if you put it in your mouth, it will melt all oil.

After the fourth brother and fifth sister finished eating, they left the tiger at home for Li Ran, and Li's mother went with them to deliver food to Li's father and the others, attracting a group of people's stares along the way.

There is no way, the smell of meat is too seductive, and the smell of meat is clearly seductive, and it floats so far as if showing off, it is really unbearable.

Li's father rested under the tree, but fortunately there was a bit of wind, and people were much more comfortable.

Seeing the fourth brother and the others come over and cause a commotion, I felt strange, and I didn't know what happened until the fourth brother came to the side.

"Why did you think of buying meat today?" Mrs. Li opened the lunch box and asked in surprise as she looked at the dishes inside.

"Mom said it's been a long time since we've tasted meat at home. Let's buy some." The fourth brother sat down on the ground, squinting his eyes comfortably. It's still very comfortable to rest here at noon, but the house is more stuffy than it is.

Mrs. Li nodded and gave the rice bowl to Father Li and Brother Li, and the three began to eat.

After eating the delicious stir-fried pork belly with garlic sprouts, Father Li guessed: "It must be made by Liuwazi, it tastes really good."

"That's right, Liu'er can get by with this kind of skill." The fourth brother quickly received the words after hearing this, and he didn't know whether he was hurting Li Ran or praising Li Ran.

The Fifth Sister gave him a big roll of the eyes: "Isn't this craft great? I don't want to see who has the most delicious food just now."

The fourth brother curled his lips: "I'm too lazy to argue with women, stop talking to me, and I won't reply!"

Fifth Sister didn't answer his words, and just ignored him, leaning against the tree and closing her eyes to rest.

The man sitting not far from Father Li looked at the dishes in the bowls of Father Li and compared them to the cornbread and cornbread in his own bowl, and swallowed hard.

Damn, this taste is too tempting. It's okay to tighten your belt for a few days after you go back. I'll have a meal anyway.

"Uncle Li, who made your food? It tastes so delicious." A young man who had been squatting a little far away to eat finally couldn't help but came over and asked, this meat is really cooked better. , the aroma is compelling.

"It was made by the sixth child in the family. This kid is good at this kind of craftsmanship. Why don't you come to me too?"

The young man shook his head hastily, everyone knew that this was a polite remark, father Li and the others thought it was too little meat, so there was not enough to share it with them.

"This skill is comparable to that of a professional cook. Uncle Li, you will enjoy yourself in the future." The professional cook actually refers to the chef who is invited to hold a banquet at home for weddings and weddings in the village. Whoever has good craftsmanship will invite more people.Here, it means good cooking.

Father Li was eating delicious meat, and he was even more happy to hear people praise his son like this: "Generally, his craftsmanship is just average, just a little better than others." Lian Lian said modestly, but his eyes couldn't help squinting into a slit when he spoke.

But thinking of enjoying the blessings in the future, Father Li believes that the pigs in the family are already fattened to the brim, weighing nearly 200 catties in two months, with smooth fur and big ears. It looks like it eats well It's good to develop like this.

This is a miracle at this time. People seldom have enough to eat, let alone let the pigs eat. Most of the pigs are so thin that there is only a little meat left because they have nothing to eat. Therefore, pork here is even more precious. , Now that the pigs in the family have grown up like this, the family will earn a lot of money after selling them.

Father Li thought about it, and decided to go to the commune to sell the pigs sometime. This is a lot of money. After getting the money, he will buy two more piglets, feed them well, and try to raise them to be white and fat. fat.

There are also those three chickens who eat earthworms every day, and they can also raise meat. When it is time to lay eggs, they may not necessarily lay two eggs a day. The rest is to prescribe meat for people, especially children, and it is even more important to make up for it.

Thinking that life will get better and better in the future, Father Li's face is full of joy, his eyes are full of wrinkles when he smiles, and even his slightly hunched back after working every day straightens up a bit.

One chapter at five o'clock in the afternoon.
