Chapter 251 Roast Suckling Pig
Seeing her coming, he smiled and said, "The master has been waiting for you for a while, looking forward to it. After finally waiting for you to come back, he went back to work on the cattle."
Zhou Guo squatted in front of the old man with a smile on his face. In a large basin was placed the processed suckling pig, white and tender, which had been chopped up. Next to him was a row of seasonings, all that was available at home and those bought yesterday.
She asked in confusion: "Master, you are a glutton yourself. Isn't barbecue your best skill? Why are you waiting for me? I don't know how to barbecue."
The old man was silent for a moment, then pointed at the star anise, cinnamon and other spices and asked, "How are you going to use these things you bought?"
Zhou Guo was stunned. "You carry five or six seasoning bottles with you all year round. Aren't they all used to store these things?"
Then I thought, there seemed to be a lot of seasonings, and they might not be used to hold these things.
The old man said, "I've only seen other people use this to stew meat, but I've never made it myself."
Zhou Guo expressed his understanding. The master was on the road all year round, so how could he always carry a pot with him? If he wanted to avoid being hungry and be convenient, he had to barbecue anytime and anywhere without any tools. Over the years, he had perfected the skill of barbecue.
She took several kinds of spices, placed them on the stone used for barbecue, and took a clean stone to grind them into fine powder. It didn't look like much, but there was a large pile of it after grinding it.
I filled a small bottle for the old man and put the rest in bamboo tubes. Fortunately, we cut a lot of bamboo tubes when we fled, and we didn’t see any bamboo here, otherwise we would have to spend money to buy it. I don’t know where the bamboo those people used came from.
The old man reached out to take it, opened the cork and smelled it again and again, then put the cork back on and stuffed it into his sleeve as if it were a treasure. What a good thing, a good thing.
The spices mixed with wine and other seasonings are spread all over the inner wall of the piglet, and then it is hung up and marinated for three quarters of an hour.
If you don’t have rock sugar, use honey instead. After the honey water boils, brush the suckling pig’s entire body with it.
Then you can put it on the fire and roast it, starting with the head and the buttocks.
She has never made it herself, but the general steps are like this. She doesn't have many of the seasonings on hand, so she doesn't know what it will taste like.
Everyone in the family had returned by now and gathered in the yard to watch her perform the operations. No one dared to ask, but just stared at her eagerly.
After about a quarter of an hour, the color of the two ends turned into bright red, and an alluring fragrance wafted out. Everyone began to drool unconsciously as they smelled it.
After roasting both ends, move the fire to the middle, hold a thin and sharp wooden spike in your hand, and keep poking holes in the middle of the pig's body. There is a bowl of badger oil at hand. After stabbing, roast and brush at the same time. The old man keeps turning the grill to prevent it from being burnt.
Slowly, the color visible to the naked eye changed, getting darker and darker, until the whole body turned amber. The fragrance filled every corner of the yard, and the sound of slurping saliva was heard.
Different from the aroma of fried pine mushrooms, for the Zhou family, this kind of big meat that is visible and tangible and full of meaty aroma and fat is more tempting. Although they have been eating meat for every meal recently, they still have to eat pork to satisfy their cravings!
Everyone thought, if the little pig smells so good, they wonder how good the big wild boar smells.
In full view of everyone, Zhou Guo cut a piece of meat with a knife, looked up and was about to hand it to Li, but he saw the old man with eager eyes out of the corner of his eye, hesitated for a moment, and put it into his own mouth.
It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fat but not greasy, melts in your mouth, and is extremely fresh and tender. A wonderful fragrance lingers between your lips and teeth. You really don’t want to swallow it!
Seeing that she hadn't made any move, the others couldn't wait any longer. "How is it? Why don't you speak? Is it delicious? How does it taste?"
Zhou Gu said, "Do you still need to ask her? Is your nose broken so you can't smell it? I, I, I can't wait any longer. Where's the food? I'll go get it."
Everyone came to their senses and thought, yes, there is no need to ask, they all stood up, some took bowls and chopsticks, some served rice.
Zhou Xing brought a plate, and Zhou Guo used a dagger to slice the meat piece by piece. In a short while, he had sliced the meat into two plates.
The family gathered around a small pot of boiled cabbage sprouts and two plates of rosy roast pork. They stared at the meat with their saliva dripping into their bowls.
We still have to wait for the old man to eat first.
The old man didn't say anything more. He picked up the bowl, quickly picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, and closed his eyes after taking the first bite. It tasted even better than he remembered.
Others couldn't wait to pick up their chopsticks and put the meat into their mouths, with a loud inhalation sound. How could it be so delicious!
Pork is still the best choice to satisfy your craving. The aroma of the fat makes me feel hungry. Two plates of meat are finished in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Guo had no choice but to slice more meat. He sliced two large plates of meat slices that were piled as high as a mountain. This should be enough for him to eat for a while.
The aroma of the roasted pork was truly incomparable to any other meat. It was fragrant, tender, fat-filled, and melted in the mouth. It was better than any roasted suckling pig she had ever eaten before. Of course, it might also be because she made it herself.
The Zhou family had no shortage of meat for a long time, but the roast suckling pig tonight still made everyone eat it in a very unpresentable manner, just like when they had just fled and settled down, they buried their heads and ate with big mouthfuls, their mouths full of oil, as if they had been hungry for eight hundred years.
After settling down for so long, their family has never cut pork once. Zhou Guo ate the delicious pork and thought to himself that he would have to cut a pound or two of pork from time to time to try it, otherwise he would still be greedy.
In a short while, the whole fish was eaten by the family, leaving only a pile of bones on the ground.
The boiled vegetables in the pot were still untouched.
Li said, "We just ate so much meat, we have to eat this dish as well. I'm afraid my stomach is going to be greasy, so eat some vegetables to relieve the greasy feeling."
Everyone was very obedient and each of them took a few bites with their chopsticks. Zhou Guo really liked eating the green vegetables. They were tender and a little sweet at the end. After eating so much pork, this was just right to help relieve the greasiness.
Everyone took a chopstick, and they picked up a big pile of green vegetables. The pile could be as big as they wanted. After everyone took a chopstick, the vegetables in the pot were all gone. Even the soup in the pot was soaked with rice by Zhou Guo. The soup had a fresh fragrance and was quite delicious.
The old man stood up with a bulging belly and walked around the yard to digest the food.
Zhou Guo was very surprised and said to Li who was standing beside him, "Mom, I have never seen my master trying to digest food after eating. Even when he ate the pine mushrooms that he had been craving for half his life, he didn't feel so full."
Li said, "The pork you roasted is so delicious and goes well with rice. The old man ate four bowls of rice with the pork in one go. How could he not be full?"
After saying that, he stood up and paced in circles behind Zhou Xing.
Zhou Guo: “…”
Actually, she was the one who ate the least. After finishing a whole plate, she had to help slice the meat. She was the only one in the family who was not full. It felt good not to be full. It wasn't uncomfortable at all.
I stood up leisurely and walked behind him. Although I was not full, it was always a good idea to walk more. Don’t they say that if you walk a hundred steps after a meal, you will live to be ninety-nine?
