Li Rong told Zhao Qingsong that he wanted some parts of the pig, and asked him to get some, and then took An An home.
Before leaving, Li Rong also said: "By the way, if those pigs go into the water, they will be stewed for you to eat."
Zhao Qingsong agreed one by one, sent the couple out, and then returned to the lively pork sharing process.
When it comes to making hot pot, there is no ready-made hot pot base here, so Li Rong went home early just to get the hot pot base first.
Li Rong picked out the required spices, washed them, dried them in a dry pan, put them out, put butter in and let it melt, then put in the spices such as peppercorns, dried chilies, star anise, and stir-fried until the aroma was released. After simmering it for a while, it felt almost done.
, just add onion, ginger, and garlic and cook it for a few times before stopping the fire.
In this way, the home version of hot pot base is ready.
As soon as she finished, Mother Zhao came back, holding a complete set of pig meat in her hand, including pork, pig's trotters, and large bones.
She put the things in her hands into the basin in the kitchen and said to Li Rong: "My second brother said you wanted this thing, so I put it in the basin."
"Okay," Li Rong took the tube bone to hang up the soup. In the afternoon, the soup base will be ready. It will be good to drink the soup or make a non-spicy pot base by then.
Father Zhao came back with pig blood in his hand.
The Zhao family had lunch before Zhao Qingsong came back.
Li Rong was dealing with the pig waste. She saw him and asked, "Are you done?"
Zhao Qingsong nodded: "Is there anything to eat? I'm starving."
Li Rong pursed her lips towards the kitchen: "The pork porridge cooked for lunch is left in the pot for you, go and eat it."
Zhao Qingsong smiled a little silly and went into the kitchen to look for food.
The pork offal was cut into pieces and neatly stacked. The pork belly was cut into thin slices, which looked very pleasing in red and white. There were also some lean meat slices mixed with tapioca starch and marinated in a bowl. The chestnut rong was reserved for the hot pot.
After finishing the pig offal and pig's trotters, I put part of the pig offal and pig's trotters in to marinate. Li Rong could finally take a breather.
Zhao Qingsong got up early, and after lunch, Li Rong sent him into the room to sleep.
When Li Rong returned to the house, Zhao Qingsong had been sleeping for a while and was still snoring.
He usually doesn't snore. He usually snores when he is overtired.
Li Rong sat in the room for a while and then went to work in the kitchen.
If you want to make hot pot, these dishes are certainly not enough.
She minced the pork into puree, put some flour in it, stirred it well, and made it into pork meatballs, and got another dish for the pot.
In winter, cabbage and radish are the most abundant in the fields. Li Rong picked up two cabbage and radish, washed and cut them.
The vegetarian dishes were almost the same. There wasn't much left of the frozen beef in the yard, so I took out the chestnuts and cut them into slices.
She and Daniel moved the table in the main room to the yard, and set up two pots on the snow.
In one pot, I put the white bone soup that had been stewed all afternoon. In another pot, put the hot pot base ingredients fried at noon and add water to boil.
When the hot pot ingredients boil, big bubbles appear, the red oil is covered with a layer, and the bubbles coming out are also red, the fragrant red oil pot bottom is ready.
Li Rong felt so happy when she saw it, and finally arranged the hot pot.
After finishing these, Li Rong went to invite everyone to come and eat hot pot.
Except for Li Rong, this was the first time for everyone in the Zhao family to see this thing.
Mother Zhao stared at the two pots: "This is hot pot? The vegetables are all raw, how do you eat them?"
Li Rong: "It's called hot pot only when it's raw. Look, like this, throw the vegetables in, take them out when they're cooked, and eat them with dipping sauce. It's hot right after it comes out of the pot. We like it like this when the weather is cold over there.
eat."
The dipping sauce is also prepared with chestnut paste, millet, spicy peanuts, chopped cooked sesame, sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar, etc., mixed with minced garlic, it is simply a magical dipping sauce.
Li Rong cooked a piece of pork belly and showed it to them.
He Xing watched her eat: "This is a novel way to eat."
“Try it now, it’s so delicious!”
The whole family was sitting around the stove. Although it was still freezing, it was not cold at all.
Li Rong threw the prepared pork offal into the pot and cooked it, leaving all the red oil pot. These offal would only taste better if cooked in a spicy pot. Fortunately, the Zhao family can eat spicy food.
The pot that had just been added with raw meat stopped bubbling. After a while, it started to boil again. The red soup was bubbling and the heat was steaming. All that could be smelled was the spicy and fragrant smell.
Makes people drool.
Everyone is holding bowls and waiting for the dishes to be cooked.
When Li Rong said it was ready to eat, everyone started to pick up the meat in the pot and dip it in the dipping sauce in the bowl. They just took a few breaths and waited until the temperature was right in their mouths before eating.
Li Rong took a spoon and fished out the meat for them: "Is it delicious?"
Daniel was the loudest, sucking the meat in his mouth: "It's delicious," he handed the bowl to Li Rong, "Second Aunt, I want more."
He Xing glared at her son: "Make it yourself. Second Aunt has been busy all day and hasn't even eaten."
She looked at Li Rong again: "Brothers and sisters, eat quickly and ignore him."
After one pot of meat was finished, Li Rong nodded and turned off the air outlet of the coal stove to reduce the fire, then picked up the bowl and prepared to eat her own.
Zhao Qingsong picked up the meat in the bowl and brought it to Li Rong's mouth: "Open your mouth."
In front of a large family, both old and young, Li Rong was a little embarrassed and said sideways: "You, you can eat it by yourself, I will be ready soon."
"Eat, don't talk so much."
Li Rong glared at him and found that the others were not looking at him, then she opened her mouth and bit down.
What Zhao Qingsong brought her was a piece of pork belly, which had been cooked in a red oil pan and tasted particularly fragrant.
Li Rong looked at the little one and picked out a few chewy pieces of pork belly for the little one to eat.
There were a lot of meatballs in the little guy's bowl. Li Rong didn't notice who put them in for him. After asking, she found out that it was Zhao's mother who made them for him.
Maybe children like to eat these meatballs. Fortunately, Li Rong made them herself. The meatballs are very pure and have no additives. He can eat them if he wants.
After the pork is finished, add chestnut paste and beef to boil.
There is a skill in cooking beef in hot pot. After more than ten seconds, the freshly cut beef will be extremely tender and the taste is the best at this moment. However, if it takes a long time, it will become old, which is not acceptable.
"It's so delicious!" Daniel said, "Second Aunt, you are my god!"
Li Rong smiled and asked him where he learned the words.
Daniel said: "There is no need to learn this. Whoever is good is a god."
Er Niu exhaled: "It's delicious! It's spicy!"
He Xing handed the soup to him: "Drink slowly, don't eat in such a hurry, no one will compete with you."
"Who said it wasn't true? People robbed me," Erniu stared at Da Niu and complained, "Brother ate all the meat!"
Zhao Qingyang looked at him: "You can eat as much as you want. Once you're full, you'll have to fight for it."
After the meat is finished, put the cabbage in and blanch it.
The radish that can withstand cooking is put inside to cook from the beginning.
Father Zhao drank some wine and ate hot pot, happily enjoying the happiness of being surrounded by his children and grandchildren.
Mother Zhao saw her grandsons making noisy noises, her eyes filled with laughter.
Zhao Qingsong's eyes were dark and bright in the night, reflecting the firelight. With his wife and son by his side, he was really looking forward to this day.
By the end of the meal, no one's stomach was round, full and happy.
