Chapter 43: Make Dongpo Pork with Braised Pork
Lin Dagua was also in a complete mess. With his family in such a state, he didn't want to harm other girls.
His only wish now is to take good care of his younger brothers and sisters.
However, something like fate cannot be stopped even when it comes.
With such conditions in their family, any girl who sees them will turn around and leave.
The girl from the Fang family in the neighboring village not only didn't dislike Lin Dagua at all, she also liked him very much.
Lin Dagua passed by for a while, not knowing what the two said, and finally the girl left angrily.
Ding Xiang was instructing several children to help her add glutinous rice, while she was pushing the stone mill as hard as a donkey.
Seeing how hard she was pushing, Lin Ergua hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and quietly took away Ding Xiang's job.
"I know that in Ergua's heart, you also feel sorry for your mother." Ding Xiang looked at Lin Ergua with a smile, and then saw that this guy's ears were also red.
When Lin Dagua came back, he looked a little bad.
Ding Xiang glanced outside the yard and saw that no one was there.
"Then the girl is looking for you for something?"
Lin Dagua shook his head, pushed Ergua away silently, and started working on the donkey.
"There are a lot of things. Da Gua and Er Gua, you two take turns pushing." The stone mill is really heavy, and it is a heavy physical work just relying on manpower.
At this moment, Ding Xiang had a plan in her mind, which was to buy a little donkey.
After grinding the glutinous rice flour and japonica rice flour, Ding Xiang poured the two things into a large basin, then added red yeast rice and white sugar, added a small amount of water and stirred thoroughly.
Then let it sit for an hour to allow it to fully rise.
Look at the time, the sun has set in the west, it’s time to prepare dinner.
Ding Xiang took a look at the ingredients in the kitchen. There were only some miscellaneous grains, and the meat was bought from the town.
In the past, when the original owner didn't care about food, the brothers and sisters just ate whatever they wanted, and they couldn't satisfy their hunger at all.
In Lilac's concept of meat and vegetable combinations, eating meat alone is not enough. Today, we have to make a few decent meat and vegetable combination dinners.
"Sangua, go to Grandma Lin next door and ask if there are vegetables and eggs." Ding Xiang said, taking out a handful of copper plates and putting them in Lin Sangua's hand, "If there are any, just take the copper plates."
Go and change.”
Sangua stared blankly at the copper plate in his hand, expressing great surprise at the copper plate his mother conjured up like a magic trick.
I have bought so many raw materials for making donkey rolls in town today, so logically I should be out of money.
However, his mother's body was like a treasure bag, with an endless supply of copper coins.
"Silly boy, what are you doing standing still? Hurry up and get there."
Ding Xiang was holding the pork and was thinking about what meat dishes to make when she suddenly found that her youngest son was distracted again.
Lin Sangua glanced at the meat on Ding Xiang's hand, hesitated for a long time before saying: "Mom, there is already meat, let's not eat the eggs."
"There are vegetables in the vegetable patch at home. I can pick some right away."
Ding Xiang didn't expect that there was a vegetable patch at home. She hadn't seen many vegetables at home before, so she just thought of herself.
"I want vegetables and eggs, so hurry up and go." Ding Xiang pushed the boy who was still struggling, and Sangua reluctantly walked out.
"Zhenzhu, Zhenzhu, come here!" Dingxiang came to the kitchen door and shouted to Zhenzhu who was sweeping the floor in the yard.
Pearl walked up to Dingxiang with a broom and said, "Mom, did you call me?"
"Tell me, how do we eat this meat? Do you have any good suggestions?"
"Mom, are you asking for my opinion?" Lin Zhenzhu pointed to her nose with a look of astonishment on her face.
This world has become a fantasy. The old woman who never respected her opinion actually asked for her opinion now.
She would naturally seize such a good opportunity.
"Braised pork, braised pork is my favorite."
"Okay, let's make braised pork." After Ding Xiang finished speaking, she turned and returned to the kitchen.
Speaking of braised pork, Ding Xiang thought of the famous dish from her previous life, Dongpo Pork.
Wow, the Dongpo Pork made from soft, glutinous, sweet and delicious pork belly is not too delicious.
Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.
Ding Xiang put the pork on the chopping board and chopped it quickly.
Chop chop chop!
After a while, more than a dozen small square pieces of meat were neatly placed on the chopping board.
"Pearl, do you have any cotton thread at home?"
"What do you need cotton thread for?" Lin Zhenzhu stepped forward and asked with a frown.
Ding Xiang smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry about this, it's a good thing anyway."
After getting the cotton thread, Lilac tied the meat pieces from all sides.
Then Dingxiang found a casserole from the corner, hurriedly went out to wash it, and then brushed a layer of oil on the bottom of the pot.
Then put the green onions and ginger slices on the bottom.
Finally, put the meat side down one by one, making sure it is neatly stacked.
The most critical step is to pour in rice wine, light soy sauce and rock sugar all at once.
After the water in the pot boils, reduce the heat to low and simmer for an hour.
