Lin Xu thought for a mont and said:
"We do need to make sothing, but what should we make?"
The young couple were whispering when a voice from a ga strear ca through on their short video:
"How about an A1 flash? Autumn Pear Paste!"
Autumn Pear Paste?
Lin Xu said:
"Hey? We could make that; I rember there used to be pear syrup candy for sale at the market in my hotown when I was a kid. It had a strong pear flavor, was soothing for the lungs, and good for a cough, plus it tasted great."
As soon as she heard there was sothing tasty, Shen Jiayue stopped watching short videos and imdiately said:
"Yes, yes, I was just thinking I’d like to try what Autumn Pear Paste with water tastes like... Mom, Grandma, and Granny, are they suitable to eat Autumn Pear Paste?"
"It’s suitable, but not too much, because Autumn Pear Paste is very high in sugar... Lin Xu, are you going to make Autumn Pear Paste? Make a bit more; I’ll take a small bottle to work to drink with water."
Shen Jiayue whispered:
"Did you hear that? Sister Shuzhen always likes to get little freebies. As soon as she heard it was for the elders, she quickly claid a bottle."
"Yueyue, what are you muttering about?"
"Saying that Mommy is the most beautiful; it’s really a bargain for Dad!"
Shen Guofu: "..."
Sigh, my little cotton jacket isn’t keeping warm anymore.
But thankfully, there’s still crispy and delicious lamb pancake to soothe my wounded heart.
He finished the pancake in his hand, picked up another, took a big bite, and said while eating:
"Making so Autumn Pear Paste is good too. I’ll sweep the snow in the old lady’s yard this afternoon and take so over so she can taste the freshness."
Since they decided to make Autumn Pear Paste, Lin Xu picked up the phone and asked Che Zai to buy a hundred pounds of snow pears and started working as soon as he got to the store.
Autumn Pear Paste, this thing, it takes more than ten pounds of snow pears to make just one pound, it’s like concentrating all the essence of the snow pears together.
After Shen Guofu and his wife finished eating, they decided to stay and take Dundun to build a snowman on the rooftop, while Lin Xu drove back to the store.
They still had to eat braised pork ribs for lunch, couldn’t delay.
When he arrived at the store, Che Zai was moving snow pears from the supermarket next door.
Mr. Yu saw Lin Xu and curiously asked:
"What are you doing with so many snow pears?"
"Making so Autumn Pear Paste."
"Oh, that’s good stuff, can you get so for too? I’ll give you half price for these snow pears, and consider the other half as my paynt for the Autumn Pear Paste."
Lin Xu didn’t expect this old guy to have such a sweet tooth.
He smiled and said:
"Sure, I’ll save so for you then. I’m busy at noon today, I’ll make so more when I’m free later."
At the store, Lin Xu saw several large tubs in the kitchen filled with various pork bones, backbone, and fan bones. The backbones were already broken, and the spines were chopped into large pieces.
Che Zai moved the snow pears to the kitchen and said to Lin Xu:
"These big bones weigh almost a hundred and twenty pounds this ti. Boss Hu added an extra twenty pounds and said he’ll co with Uncle Shen at noon to try so... They’ve been soaked for more than three hours, and the water’s been changed three tis. Should be good, right, boss?"
"Almost there, we can start the production soon."
At this ti, a jumbo self-heating soup pot had been prepared for making the braised pork ribs, as all the store’s jacketed pans were occupied and couldn’t be cleared. anwhile, a hundred pounds of bones require at least two hundred pounds of soup for stewing, such weight would crush the stove.
On the contrary, using the jumbo self-heating soup pot is more convenient.
Before starting the production, Lin Xu needed to fry the sauce to be used; only by frying it can the sauce develop flavor, making the braised pork ribs more delicious.
Today, because there’s a lot of at to stew, the amount of sauce used is quite exaggerated.
A small basin of Northeastern Big Sauce, a small basin of dried yellow sauce diluted with rice wine, a large bowl of sweet bean paste, a large bowl of Chu Hou paste, a large bowl of seafood sauce, a large bowl of light soy sauce, a small bowl of fernted tofu sauce...
An ordinary family wouldn’t use this much sauce in half a year, but now, it’s all used up in one go.
Have to admit, more at ans more sauce consumption.
The pot was poured with soybean oil and lard, and once it was hot, all the sauces were poured in, and the dium heat was used to start stir-frying.
The difference between fry and no fry when using sauce for braised pork ribs is worlds apart.
If you don’t fry it, the sauce will have a weird ferntation sll. If you put it directly into the pot to stew the bones, all the bad odors would end up in the at.
But after frying, all those weird slls would evaporate with the steam.
At the sa ti, the fragrance of the sauce would also be stimulated by the hot oil.
With this kind of sauce, how could the stewed bones not be aromatic?
You need patience to fry the sauce; you have to fry out the moisture and impurities from the sauce bit by bit. Only then is the sauce suitable for use.
When the sauce is first poured into the pot, it is quite runny, and after about ten minutes of frying, it will beco thick.
After frying for a while longer, the thick sauce will beco runny again due to the prolonged heat causing the moisture inside to seep out again.
The weird slls and off-flavors in the sauce are also caused by these moisture components.
Once the sauce becos thick again and the oil and water separate, the sauce is considered done.
Pour the cooked sauce in the pot into a basin, then start preparing the broth ingredients.
The deliciousness of braised pork ribs mainly cos from the sauce, the broth ingredients used are minimal but also necessary.
Lin Xu grabbed a stainless steel basin and added a small basket of dried chili, a small basket of bay leaves, a large bowl of star anise, a small bowl of fennel, a small bowl of Sichuan peppercorns, a small bowl of dried hawthorn, a small bowl of cinnamon, half a small bowl of angelica dahurica, a handful of cloves, a handful of angelica dahurica, and five pieces of aged tangerine peel.
One hundred and twenty pounds of big bones, the ingredient amount is quite shocking.
However, the braised bones made are very enticing.
Moreover, the marinade can be reused. Lin Xu plans to see how the bones turn out this ti. If it’s good, he’ll have a pot of braised bones in the store while it’s cold outside, letting custors enjoy the fun of holding at and eating it.
