Blissful Days After Widowhood Chapter 102: Happy Bawang face

What Ningxi taught You Zhenniang to cook was a dish that was particularly famous at the folk wedding banquets of later generations - Huanxi Bawang's face.

The so-called "Happy Overlord's Face" is actually a whole pig's head. The pig's head is made of jujube red and oily, with squinted eyes and a grin that looks like a big smile, hence the name.

Due to the lack of time, there is currently no raw material for Ningxi to demonstrate to her, so the so-called teaching her to do it is actually just telling her the specific method. As for whether she can understand it, she can do it. To what extent, that is her own business.

To cook a whole pig head, you must first choose a good tender white pig head. If possible, it is best to go to the place where the pigs are raised and choose it yourself. Its facial skin and muscles will naturally show a happy look, and the finished product will have the essence of "joy".

After selecting the pig's head, scrape off the inside and outside of the pig's head and ears, and then use a knife to split forward from the middle of the lower jaw, but the facial skin must remain connected and cannot be cut off. Remove all the skulls, soak the pig head in clean water to remove blood and dirt, then put it into a boiling water pot to cook for a quarter of an hour, take it out and put it in clean water and scrape it again.

At this time, cut off the pig's eyes, ears, cheeks, mouth tip, pig tongue, etc., and cook the remaining pig head twice in a boiling water pot to completely remove the fishy smell.

The last step is to grill, put the pig head on the bamboo grate, and put the cut eyes, ears, tongue, gills, etc. into the pot in order, spread the **** slices, scallion knots, and add water until the pig head is half a finger high. , then add rock sugar, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, balsamic vinegar and various spices, boil it with high heat, turn to low heat and simmer for more than an hour until the soup is thick and the meat is rotten.

Put the pig's **** large disc when the pot is out of the pot, cover the pig's tongue with the pig's head facing up, and then put the cheek meat, pig's ears, eyeballs, etc. back in the original position of the pig's head to form a whole head shape, pour the original juice.

Although Ning Xi said it simply, You Zhenniang herself has a certain accomplishment in cooking, so she can still understand it. I asked Ning Xi a few more questions. After the explanation, I will bring them The people who went to the kitchen have already come.

The three followed the man to a large kitchen.

This kitchen faces south, spacious and bright, clean and neat, not only does not have the fumes of ordinary kitchens, but it is fresh and clean everywhere, a row of large stoves facing each other, a total of eight stoves, the east and west sides are respectively The place where meat and vegetable ingredients are displayed and processed, and on the north side opposite the door, there is a long chopping board for processing pasta.

Ningxi can know that the ingredients here are even more complete than the kitchen in Yu Qinglin's mansion last time. On such an island, it is conceivable that so many ingredients and seasonings from the north and the south can be prepared. This island owner is really not a simple person.

There are more than a dozen second-class chefs who came to participate in the assessment with them. It can be seen that they attach great importance to this assessment, and they have a hostile attitude towards the three newcomers. Maybe they think they It will seize the opportunity that there are not many!

Ningxi doesn't care so much, her whole mind is already on choosing the ingredients. What she's going to make this time is "three sets of ducks".

"Three sets of ducks" is a traditional Huaiyang dish. It uses one pigeon and two ducks as raw materials. Squab pigeons are used to coat wild duck and then domestic duck. To make this dish, the most important thing is the skill of deboning the whole bird. It is difficult for ordinary people to remove all the bones from the whole body when the appearance is basically intact, but to Ning Xi, this is not a big deal. difficult.

She selected three top-quality wild ducks, domestic ducks and squabs, shed their hairs and bleed them, and cleaned them up. Then, she cut a knife about an inch and a half under the neck of the domestic duck. Stretching into the opening, almost no one could see how she moved, so the entire duck skeleton was taken out from the opening, leaving only a white and delicate duck body, which looked unusually soft and trembled. of.

The rest of the wild ducks and pigeons are also done in the same way. After all the processing is done, put the kitchen knife away. First, put some mushrooms, bamboo shoots, etc. into the belly of the domestic duck, and then stuff the wild duck into the knife under the neck of the domestic duck. , like a trick, first the duck legs, followed by the buttocks, belly, and breast, and finally the whole wild duck entered the belly of the domestic duck, leaving only the duck head and neck exposed outside the domestic duck, and the domestic duck neck The lower blade was still the same size as before, and it tightly bound the base of the duck's neck.

The rest of the chefs originally looked at the three of them. In addition to hostility, there was also a slight attitude of contempt. After all, cooking is a profession that requires time to accumulate. The three of them are still so young, no matter how good their skills are So I didn't take them too seriously.

I didn't expect that Ning Xi would reveal the skill of deboning the duck as soon as he came up, which shocked everyone. How could such a skill be so skilled without hundreds of thousands of practice? But even if you put aside your age, how else could someone have such economic conditions to allow you to take so many poultry to practice again and again?

Everyone present had to be convinced, it would be impossible for anyone here to do this.

You Zhenniang is also handling the pig's head according to the method Ning Xi said. But stumbling and stumbling, it can be regarded as letting her fix it.

The subordinates were busy, and out of the corner of her eyes, she could not forget to look at what Ning Xi was doing from time to time, and then her heart suffered a serious blow. Originally, she repeatedly told herself that Ning Xi was only dipped in the possession of ancient recipes. Guang, if she can also have ancient recipes, then what she can do will definitely not be worse than Ningxi.

But seeing Ning Xi's skilled bone-breaking skills, even if she doesn't want to, she has to admit that a girl who is much younger than herself, she is really talented, she will work hard and practice hard. Ten or twenty years is incomparable.

God is not fair.

At this time, Ningxi had already put the squab into the belly of the wild duck. The three birds were layered together, with only the head and neck exposed outside the duck's cavity. The three birds' heads were arranged neatly from large to small. Qi, it looks like it was born on the same body.

After the set of three poultry is blanched, add ginger, spring onion knots and Shaoxing wine to simmer, and finally put it in a large fine porcelain casserole and serve. I can see that the soup in the pot is slightly green, clear and blue, just like a Wang Chunshui, the three birds were lying still in the water, their eyes were closed, and their demeanor was intimate and serene, as if they were fast asleep.

"Three sets of ducks" are layered on top of each other. When tasting, various flavors overlap. Domestic duck is one flavor, wild duck is one flavor, squab alone is one flavor, domestic duck and wild duck are combined, and domestic duck is one flavor. The combination of two and two of squabs is one taste, the two of wild duck and pigeon are mixed together, and the three of domestic ducks and ducks and pigeons are mixed together. ".

There is no suspense, Ningxi's "three sets of ducks" was greatly appreciated by the island owner, and he asked the waiter to pass the word that the island owner would personally meet Ning Xi. When this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar, and many people came here. It has been on the island for more than ten years, and there has been no chance to meet the island owner. This little girl who has just arrived, can the island owner meet in person as soon as she arrives?

But the people who watched Ning Xi cooking just now, no matter how envious they were, they had to be convinced.

But You Zhenniang, who has also been promoted to a first-class chef, is not convinced. It seems that her cooking skills are not very good, but she has good recipes. Many chefs here believe that if she There can also be such a recipe, and the dishes made will definitely not be worse than You Zhenniang.

There are no rules for choosing the first-class chefs from the second-class chefs on the island. It is entirely up to the owner of the island. There were very few people who passed the selection. The last time was half a year ago, and none of them passed. For this selection, most of them had been preparing for more than half a year, but they were caught by two young women who had just arrived. You can imagine the anger in the hearts of the chefs when they got this opportunity.

Han Xiangfei hid this time, and stayed in the second-class position. He walked to Ning Xi worriedly, and said in a low voice, "Be careful later, don't talk nonsense."

Ning Xi also whispered in his ear, "Brother Han, don't worry, I will be careful. When I get the antidote, we will try to escape." After speaking, Ning Xi glanced at You Zhenniang. , Since she thought about getting ahead here and earning a lot of gold and silver treasures, her escape plan did not foresee her share.

You Zhenniang was also looking up at them. The closeness of Ning Xi and Han Xiangfei made her feel very uncomfortable. Obviously, everyone has the same identity and got acquainted together. Why should the two of them be so close.

Ningxi was taken to a room, and two women searched her whole body, even her hair was taken apart and searched. After confirming that there was no entrainment, they blindfolded her and went up to the A sedan.

Ning Xi felt humiliated in her heart, but now that she was under the control of others, she had to swallow her anger and swear in her heart that one day she would give this aloof island owner a good look.

The sedan chair has been walking around for a long time. Ning Xi is an idiot in the right direction. In addition, he is blindfolded in the sedan chair, and he is even more dizzy. She waited temporarily in the sedan chair.
