In a flash, he will be fifty-four, and his mentality is no longer as restless as when he was young, and everything is good as long as he can get by. This is also reflected in the act of "eating", which is essential in daily life, making what you love to eat and finding pleasure in it.
The previous article talked about eating fresh things such as drunken live shrimp, drunken skin shrimp, and drunken river crab, although these things are delicious, they can only be used as a decoration for daily dishes, and it is impossible to eat them often. The main dishes that are often eaten daily can also be stewed, stir-fried, boiled and so on. There are many ways to eat pork, chicken, beef and mutton, nothing unusual, so I won't say much, let's talk about something a little more alternative.
Let's talk about braised oxtail first, I think I went to the morning market to buy oxtail, and I was ridiculed by others. I remember that many years ago, beef cost 20 yuan a catty, and oxtail cost 4 yuan a catty. I really didn't buy oxtail cheaply, but my eldest sister, a colleague who was a master of cooking, told me about the deliciousness and method of oxtail. I tried it a few times and it was out of control, and the level of flavor that beef couldn't match. Once, I went to the beef stall I often went to buy oxtail, and a man lined up behind me to buy beef, and when he saw me buying oxtail for four yuan a catty, he really said in a disdainful tone: What is there to eat in this bargain, it is better to buy less good beef。。。。。。 I looked back and smiled: I just love this mouthful, and I am nervous about the money in my pocket。。。。。。 I said to myself, "Don't you know how delicious this thing is!" Alas, the days of good taste and cheap are long gone, and now people know about the deliciousness of oxtail, and the price has long exceeded that of the best parts of beef. I'll have to grit my teeth if I buy it now.
Similarly, there are braised beef trotters, now this thing is like the oxtail in previous years, most people have not yet realized the deliciousness of braised beef trotters, and the price is still very cheap, about eight yuan a catty. I usually buy two cow front hooves, the front hooves are relative to the hind hooves, the meat is tender, the texture is firm and chewy, and it is rich in collagen. When I bought it, I asked the seller to chop it into pieces of moderate size, and when I got home, I looked for it and burned some missing cow hair with the fire of the gas stove. Ox hooves are no better than oxtails, and it has a special flavor. At this time, you should blanch the water well, and put more cooking wine, ginger slices, and green onion condiments in it. Blanch the water and rinse it carefully several times in lukewarm water. Then heat the oil, put in some white sugar, both seasoning and can color the trotters, when the white sugar turns brown and red and foamy, put in the washed and dry water control trotters and stir-fry, while adding an appropriate amount of dark soy sauce. Then it is poured into the pressure cooker, added water, put in various condiments and simmered for more than half an hour. Put a piece of steaming beef hooves on the boiling pot, and enjoy the tender and chewy meat and the soft and flexible hoof tendons and collagen.
I like to drink mutton soup cakes for breakfast, but I always feel unclean when I eat outside, and I don't eat enough to make myself happy. I generally buy two sheep in a year, including the sheep's head, clean up with alkaline water flour, cook and cool each part into small pieces, take some of them into fresh-keeping bags and put them in the refrigerator for preservation, when you want to eat, take out a bag, put in the water after boiling a few boils, even the soup with haggis to put out, put on sesame paste sauce, shrimp oil, chili oil, leek flowers, sauce tofu, pepper, coriander。。。。。。 You can also eat delicious mutton soup at home. Others are too lazy to make their own at home when they are young, so they all go to the breakfast department outside to eat, a bowl of plate noodles (Hebei specialty: Anhui Taihe plate noodles, hehe), or a bowl of tofu brain and an oil cake。。。。。。 As I got older, I gradually became lazy to eat the breakfast outside, and began to make my own at home: a bowl of fragrant and sticky gruel made of sweet potatoes and corn residue, two slices of steamed buns fried with eggs, with small pickles pickled by my lover himself, or a few strands of dried noodles and a few leaves of green vegetables with two poached eggs, and the feeling of eating is much more comfortable than outside.
At dinner, generally a fried greens, a meat dish, plus a marinated flavor (generally braised pig ears, braised chicken gizzards, or pig's head meat, etc.), a dipping pickle, accompanied by a glass of old wine, is the most comfortable time for me every day,
Eating is not about the price, as long as the food is comfortable and happy, it is the best.
