Chapter 12: Cooking meat in soy sauce in the next village, I can still smell the fragrance even if I walk ten miles

 In the kitchen, Deng Shirong was preparing market paste. He used an appropriate amount of water to dissolve the market paste, and then added an appropriate amount of raw salt.

 After preparing the market anointing water, Deng Shirong said to his eldest daughter: "Azhen, you can light the fire!"

Deng Yunzhen responded, sat in front of the stove and started to light the fire.

When the pot was hot, Deng Shirong put a little lard into the pot. After the lard melted, he put the cooked pork in and stir-fried.

This is semi-fat and lean pork, with a lot of fat. Deng Shirong asked his eldest daughter to control the heat, and then stir-fried it calmly.

Soon, the lard in the fat meat was slowly forced out. When Deng Shirong saw that it was almost done, he ordered: "Azhen, you can increase the firepower."

Deng Yunzhen responded and stuffed a lot of dry weeds into the stove. They were all extremely flammable firewood. In an instant, a fire broke out in the stove.

 In the kitchen, Deng Yuntai and his younger brothers and sisters all knew that the most critical step of stir-frying was coming, and they all craned their necks to watch their father operate.

Deng Shirong held the spatula in his right hand and the prepared market paste water in his left hand. Seeing that the oil in the pot was hot enough, he poured the market paste water along the edge of the pot.

　　　…

The moment the market anointing water was poured down, a strong fragrance hit your nostrils.

If you want to ask how strong this fragrance is, you can get a glimpse of it from a local folk song. There are two lines in this folk song: "In the next village, boil meat and add soy sauce, and I can walk ten miles." Smell the fragrance. Now when I come to Dang, I feel drunk by the fragrance of black soy sauce."

 This soy sauce is the market ointment.

Stir-frying pork with market paste water is really a perfect match. Although it is not as exaggerated as in folk songs, the fragrance can be smelled from ten miles away, but when the market paste water is poured down and mixed with pork and lard, it is stimulated to produce market paste. The moment you smell the fragrance, the fragrance can really spread far and wide.

After the market water was poured out, Deng Shirong quickly stir-fried a few times and then put it on the plate.

If you want the yellow fried pork to taste good, the most important thing is to seize the opportunity. When pouring the paste water, the oil temperature must be high, so that the aroma of the paste can be fully stimulated.

In addition, after the market paste water is poured out, stir-fry a few times quickly before stirring the pot immediately, because after frying for a long time, the market paste will stick to the pan, and the taste will not be so good.

After putting the pork on the plate, Deng Shirong scooped a ladle of water from the water jar into the pot, and then smiled at his children whose noses were twitching: "Okay, don't be stunned, let's start dinner!"

Deng Yunzhen said with admiration on her face: "Dad, your craftsmanship is really amazing. I have made fried pork several times before, but it is not as fragrant as what you made this time."

Deng Shirong walked towards the dining table and said with a smile: "The most important thing in making fried pork is the last step of pouring the market paste water. First, the oil temperature must be high, and second, stir the market paste water evenly and start the pot immediately. As long as If you can do these two things well, the taste will generally be the same.”

Deng Yuntai asked: “Dad, do you want something to drink?”

Deng Shirong shook his head and said: "Forget it, I have to go to Shamshui Tiancun for errands later, so I won't drink anymore."

 At this time, the three little guys, Yunsong, Yunhua, and Yunheng, were so greedy that they wanted to eat meat immediately, but families in this era were not as unruly as those in later generations. Especially when eating meat, the number of pieces per person is stipulated, and you can't just eat whatever you want.

Of course, then again, this rule is also related to the poor living conditions of this era. For example, most families in later generations have no shortage of meat, so naturally they can eat whatever they want.

"Okay, stop looking at it, let's eat!" With their father's permission, the six brothers and sisters moved their chopsticks and reached for the plate of pork.

 Next, no one spoke. Everyone, including Deng Yuntai, was immersed in cooking. The smell of pork almost made their tongues swallow it. Who had time to talk?

Deng Shirong also tasted a piece of pork. I have to say that the taste was really amazing. It will be difficult to eat such delicious pork in later generations.

On the one hand, most of the pork in later generations was raised on feed, and the meat quality is definitely not as good as that of today’s farm pigs.

On the other hand, it is related to the market ointment. The market ointment made now uses the best materials, and the technology of making the market ointment is good. After the person who sells the market ointment dies, it will be his son's turn to take over and make it. His market anointing is not as good as his father's.

Soon, a large plate of pork was eaten by the seven father and son. The last person drank a bowl of pork and luffa soup. After putting down the bowl, everyone rubbed their bellies with great satisfaction.

Deng Shirong was not as full as his children. He went to the front hall to smoke two cigarettes, and then walked slowly towards Sham Shui Tin Village.

 Originally, production teams had endless work to do throughout the year. At this time in previous years, members of each production team had to do this and that, and there would be no time to stop.

But this year is different. Most people already know the news about dividing the fields and working alone after harvesting. The captain no longer organizes the members to do this and that, so the members of each production team have a rare few days of rest. time.

 Because Deng Shirong walked as if he were walking to eat, it was already more than half an hour later when he arrived at Sham Shui Tin Village.

 The Guan Dewei family all knew that Deng Shirong would come in the morning, so they kept waiting at home.

After the two parties met and greeted each other, Guan Yongying handed over the pipe tobacco and matches and said: "Jiu Gong, burn the pipe first."

Deng Shirong smiled and said yes, then took it and smoked two cigarettes.

After finishing smoking, Deng Shirong started talking about business: "Excuse me, the groom's family not only agreed to the conditions proposed by our family, but also increased his net worth by an additional 400 yuan."

 The Guan Dewei family were shocked when they heard this!

 Taking the initiative to increase one's worth has simply refreshed their family's outlook on life.

This is 400 yuan. Even Guan Dewu, who works in a supply and marketing cooperative, has to work for almost a year and a half without eating or drinking to earn so much money.

After being shocked, Guan Dewei, who knew that there was no pie in the sky, quickly calmed down and asked: "Uncle Jiu, I wonder what the conditions are for the groom's family to do this?"

Deng Shirong explained: "Everyone already knows that our Bangjie brigade is going to divide the fields and work alone after harvesting the crops. The purpose of the husband's family is very simple. They want to marry Yongying back to your family as soon as possible, so that the husband's family can Receive an extra piece of land.

Of course, if you do this, your family will receive less land, so the husband’s family takes the initiative to increase his net worth by 400 yuan as a small compensation to your family. "

 Hearing this, the officials and family members suddenly realized.

The Guan Dewei couple looked at each other and saw the hesitation in each other's eyes.

400 yuan is indeed a huge amount of money in this era, but rural people have always valued their fields the most. Unless they have no choice, no one is willing to exchange their fields for money.

Now, dividing the land and working alone is just around the corner. At this juncture, if your daughter is married off, the loss will be quite heavy.
