The preparation of salted duck eggs is still very simple. First wash the duck eggs and then dry them. When they brought them back yesterday, the duck eggs had been washed and set aside. After a day and a night, the duck eggs must have been dried.
Then she took out two large bowls. One bowl was filled with half a bowl of high-concentration but very cheap liquor, and the other bowl was filled with half a bowl of salt.
For this salt, she used the leftover flavorful salt blocks at home that she had not finished eating before. Because the salt used was fine salt, she specially received it in the space and then used a machine to grind it into fine powder.
Only then was it taken out for use.
Then wrap the dried duck eggs first in wine and then in salt. After all the duck eggs are wrapped, wrap them in plastic wrap.
This is ancient times. Wen Xin is definitely not stupid enough to follow other people's methods of using plastic wrap. The fine sand and soft cloth used for filtering are not used at home now. Wen Wen directly took it out and wrapped it with duck eggs, and then put them all in
Put it in a big clay pot at home, seal it and then take it out to eat within 20-40 days.
Of course, the eggs must be cooked before eating.
Wen Wen had thought that the method of making salted duck eggs was very simple, but she didn't expect it to be so simple. It was completed in a short time.
After making the salted duck eggs, my warm consciousness entered the space again, and I turned on my phone to search for how to make preserved eggs.
It looked at the process first and found that the production method was much more complicated than salted duck eggs.
She first bought some fine loess at the Space Mall and poured it into a pot to fry the water. Then she took out a sieve and sifted out all the pebbles in the soil. What was left was fine powder.
Pour the sifted loess into the pot again, then add water and crushed ginger to the pot, then add 4 taels of tea leaves, 3 taels of cinnamon bark, 2 taels of star anise, 4 taels of tangerine peel, and coarse salt (just pickled salted duck eggs)
Pour 8 taels of unused salt and 4 taels of edible alkali into the pot, stir and cook until the water dries up. It will take about half an hour. This depends on the amount of water.
Wait until the water is almost dry, then fish out the residue added inside. At this time, add some lime to it and stir it into a paste, then set it aside to cool.
While waiting for the thing to cool down, Wen Wenxin said heartily: "Fortunately, I did it when my family was not around. It's hard to explain what she just did if all my family members are here."
Just when Wen Wen was feeling happy, when she looked back, she saw that the kitchen was in a mess, as if it had been robbed! She was stunned on the spot and didn't know how to move.
Just when she wanted to clean up the mess first, it was unlucky that Wen Hou and Wen Yu, who had finished cleaning up the mess, had already arrived at the entrance of the courtyard.
In other words, it was definitely too late to clean up. Wen Wen only came to the yard and smiled awkwardly in the direction of Wen Yu and Wen Hou. At this time, the two of them still didn't understand the situation clearly, but when they came
After arriving in the kitchen, Dang even was stunned by the mess on the floor, which was exactly the same as the warmth just now.
Wenhou asked: "Just... did someone come to the house to cause trouble? Why is this stove..." It became like this
"No, Xin'er just made the salted duck eggs. Now she's waiting for the soil to get cold so that she can make preserved eggs. Just... I'm a little too busy for one person. I just finished it and I haven't had time to clean it up yet.
.”
Wen Wen's typical look of a naughty child admitting his mistake with a guilty look after knowing that he had done something wrong made Wen Yu laugh, "I know I am too busy to do it, so I just wait for my brothers to come back and do it all by myself..."
Wen Yu lazily said Wen Xin, and simply said: "I'll do it next time when my brothers come back."
"good."
But speaking of preserved eggs, what exactly are salted duck eggs?
Wen Xin said: "It's still early to eat these two things. It takes 20-40 days to pickle salted duck eggs, and 30 days to pickle preserved eggs. You will know what these are when they are ready."
Okay, it's only late October now, so if you want to eat this, it won't be until next month.
But Wenxin felt that it was good to keep this thing for a long time, so he said: "So, second brother, I will buy some when I see you at the market next time."
"Okay, eldest brother and second brother put these away first, otherwise we won't be able to cook."
Wenxin immediately left the kitchen without hesitation. After a while, the mud was almost cold, so Wenxin wrapped it in mud one by one, and then rolled it in the pile of hay.
One by one, they were all put into another clay pot.
The lids are all closed, and the pickling journey of preserved eggs and salted duck eggs is officially over.
At this time, Jingchen also returned home with a bunch of radish heads and some lotus roots. Wen Xin took a look at the lotus roots. Half of them were still wrapped in black mud, but the other half had been cleaned.
Wen Jin said: "I didn't think about washing at first. Uncle Jing said that we would have to fetch water when we went home to wash, so we turned around and went to the spring. We washed half of the lotus roots first. This was already cleaned. Can we
Just eat it, you see if it’s enough, I’ll wash some more out.”
Wen Jin saw that the amount was really enough, and quickly said: "That's enough, that's enough."
At this time, the two pots in the kitchen had already started working. As soon as Wen Jin finished speaking, he felt a burst of fragrance and couldn't help but move his feet towards the kitchen, "Brother, second brother, what are you doing?"
What? It smells so good."
Wenhou said with a smile: "This pot is for pig intestines and offal, and the other pot is for pig's trotters, dried seeds and tofu. Xin'er said they would put them in later."
Looking at the fragrant meat cooking in the pot, Wen Jin didn't want to walk out of the kitchen, "I'll help in the stove too."
Wenhou smiled and said: "You are not needed in the kitchen. Xin'er said that the lotus roots should be put in to marinate them. Are the lotus roots you dug out clean? Ask Xin'er what to do with them and put them in later."
Upon hearing this, Wen Jin said with a pity on his face: "Okay, I'll be back later."
"It's not good to be slanderous. I'll have something to eat soon." Wen Hou chuckled, but Wen Jin was really slanderous. He immediately defended himself and said, "That's easy to say, but I haven't eaten these pig's trotters before."
Come on, isn’t it normal to be greedy?”
Wen Jin didn't feel embarrassed, but what he had been told was completed. After he finished speaking reluctantly, he immediately left the kitchen and came to Wenxin. At this time, Wenxin was also counting the cleaned lotus roots.
After seeing Wen Jin coming over, he immediately said: "Third brother, take a knife and remove all these small lotus root segments, rinse all the holes with water, but they shouldn't be dirty inside, and then cut them in half vertically."
It’s ready. Let’s take it into the kitchen.”
Wen Jin obeyed the order, and after busy working according to the warm instructions, the lotus root, which was divided into two halves, was sent to the kitchen.
