Xiaoqian followed her to take a look, and she said with just one look, "It really is a place where no pigs have been raised."
Although she has never raised it before, someone in the village raises it. This pig does not look very energetic at first glance.
Xiaoqian asked the village chief, "Don't you like to eat?"
"No, they like to eat very much, but they eat too much. Isn't it winter, and the pigweed is less, so feed them less."
Everyone: ...
Got it, it's just pure hunger.
Bai Shan said euphemistically: "It should be fed well, so that it can grow fast, otherwise it may be difficult to slaughter in the autumn harvest next year. It will be bad if it is really raised for a year and a half, and it will lose money."
The village head sighed and said, "Actually, we regretted it not long after raising this pig. It's so delicious!"
He said: "It's fine if you can eat it. We also bought some pork back, but found that it was not tasty at all. It was far inferior to mutton and chicken, and even fish. It had a very bad taste. "
Zhou Man: "Why, pork is delicious. My sister-in-law's meatballs, steamed pork, and pork ribs are all made of pork."
Bai Shan cleared his throat and said in a low voice: "There are also differences in cooking skills between people. Shouldn't you have a deep understanding of this truth since childhood?"
Thinking of her second sister-in-law's craftsmanship, Zhou Man's body shook, and he immediately admitted his mistake, "That was my fault, it's really not good to generalize."
The village head quickly said: "Although the craftsmanship of the daughters-in-law in the village is not as good as that of the nobles, they are not all inferior. I have asked people outside, and many of them said that pork is not delicious."
Now even Bai Shan was curious, "How did you do it?"
No one in the village bought pork today, seeing that Bai Shan immediately turned his head and said to the guard: "Go back and get a piece of pork."
The guard went back and soon brought a piece of meat.
The village head's daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law took it seriously, and they added a little more oil and salt to entertain the nobles.
Xiaoqian watched from the side, hesitant to speak several times.
When the dishes were served, everyone looked at each other, and they didn't put their chopsticks down for a while. Although they all looked similar in appearance, even Bai Shan, who was not a good cook, knew that the cooking of this dish seemed to be wrong, but they couldn't remember. Something was wrong, so they looked at Xiaoqian together.
Xiaoqian said: "This meat doesn't need to be cooked for such a long time. The piece of meat sent here is very good, you can fry it first..."
She looked around and found that they didn't have an iron pan, and immediately said: "It's fine to cook directly without frying, but it's best to separate the fat from the thin when cutting. Take it out and save it, cook the fatty ones first, add sliced ginger, if there is pepper, you can also put some, boil the oil and then put the vegetables, boil it."
"Lean meat should be marinated with a little bit of oil and salt. If there is sauce, it will be fine. After marinating, put it down when the vegetables are cooked. Roll it for a few times and it will be cooked. Then it can be out of the pan." Xiaoqian said : "This way the taste will be much better."
She smiled and said, "Actually, if there are large ingredients, the pork can be cut into large pieces and stewed, which will be more flavorful and delicious."
The village head turned to look at his wife and daughter-in-law, and his daughter-in-law was dumbfounded and said, "Where are those things at home?"
Xiaoqian laughed and said, "Ginger is also fine."
"No."
Xiaoqian said, "It's fine to have pepper and sauce."
No prickly ash either. As for the sauce, they don't have the sauce Xiaoqian said, they only have fish sauce.
Bai Shanbin asked curiously: "Is this the same way that people in the neighborhood make pork?"
The village chief nodded and said, "Yes."
"But some mutton also has a smell of mutton, so it's hard to make it delicious without a lot of ingredients."
The village chief didn't think so, he said: "Mutton is delicious, I don't think it's stinky, even stewed is delicious, but pork is delicious, boiled for too long, the taste is mediocre , and a strange smell."
Yin or who was at the side laughed, shook his head and said, "Rich people don't bother to eat pork, but poor people don't know how to make pork. It's a waste of this delicacy."
Before Xiaoqian, Yin or never ate pork.
After Xiaoqian came, he gradually tasted various pork dishes.
Bai Erlang didn't think this was a big problem, "Since it's a matter of cooking skills, why don't we spread the word about the pork recipes?"
Bai Shan picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and ate it, frowning slightly, "It does have a smell."
When Zhou Man heard it, she immediately ate a piece. She stared slightly. It was indeed not delicious, and it was a little bit better than the second sister-in-law's, but it was not the same kind of food as the second sister-in-law's. The smell brought by itself has not been dealt with cleanly.
A flash of light suddenly flashed in Zhou Man's mind, and he asked Keke, "I remember that I recorded a few piglets for you, and there were several in succession. It is rare for the Encyclopedia to take the initiative to ask me to record a few more piglets. What was the reason? "
Koko: "They want castration."
"Yes! Castration!" Zhou Man glanced at it at the time, but he didn't take it seriously, because the points for including pigs are not very high. It is said that they have livestock that are very similar to pigs, which are considered pigs. Pigs are just a research breed, so the points given are very few, far inferior to the points collected by horses, cattle and sheep.
Now she finally remembered, what are the researchers at the Encyclopedia doing to castrate people
Zhou Man stared at the pig's ass while asking Keke to search for entries.
Soon Keke called up the entry, Zhou Man slightly closed his eyes and leaned against Bai Shan, sank his consciousness into the encyclopedia, read the entry from beginning to end, in "Pork tastes better after castration, and The feeding time has been greatly shortened, the restlessness has also been reduced, and it is easier to manage..." This sentence was read back and forth twice.
Zhou Man opened his eyes suddenly, and Bai Shan, who was half hugging her and wrapping her up in his cloak, was startled, and asked her, "Aren't you tired?"
Zhou Man's eyes sparkled, "I know how to get rid of this smell. It can make the pork taste better without using big ingredients, and it can also make it grow faster."
"what way?"
Zhou Man mowed his hand in front of him and said, "Euncate it."
Everyone was startled, and the servant following Princess Mingda took a step back quietly, clamping his legs.
Zhou Man turned his head and asked Bai Shan, "Would you like to give it a try?"
Bai Shan knew that she was sleepy just now, so he thought for a while and said: "Yes, there are pigs in the official village, so go and have a look at it when the time comes, but..."
He paused and asked, "Can you castrate a pig? And you are pregnant at this time, be careful, what if it struggles and hurts you?"
Xiaoqian also recovered from the horror, nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, Man Bao, don't act recklessly."
She also gave Zheng a hand, "Do you think my in-laws are right?"
Only then did Zheng come back to his senses, and nodded again and again, "That's right, you can't take risks."
She said with a tangled face: "How about leaving it to Doctor Tian and the others? They should know how to do it?"
