Chapter 690: Where Is the Monster!
"Master, let's go. That pot of beans is dirty!" Lone Wolf secretly said to the other party after making sure no one saw it.
Fangzheng was stunned, and said, "Why do you say that?"
"I just climbed up on the stove to look, and the beans in the pot have not been washed, and some of them still have dirt on them. Hurry up and leave, you will get a bad stomach after eating." The lone wolf thief said Xixi.
When Fangzheng heard this, he immediately laughed, knocked on the head of the lone wolf and said, "Idiot, that's not dirty, it's that it hasn't been washed at all."
"Unwashed? Then how can I eat it? Master, can you get rid of it?" The boss of the lone wolf stared at him. Although he used to drink blood and gnaw bones in mud pits, since he went up the mountain, he is a very hygienic wolf. !
Fangzheng smiled and said: "This is an inevitable process for making miso. Don't wash it and dry fry it until it's cooked... Forget it, come in with me to have a look."
Fangzheng led the lone wolf into the outbuilding, just in time to see Du Mei fry a large pot of beans, take them out, pour them into a large basin, and start cleaning.
Seeing this, Lone Wolf breathed a sigh of relief... Finally, he didn't have to eat mud.
Seeing this, Fangzheng asked the question of the lone wolf.
Du Mei said with a smile: "I told you to learn earlier. If you don't learn, start asking now. Let me tell you, if the beans are washed in water in advance, it will be difficult to dry. Waiting for drying is a waste of time. After frying, wash them again." , but it’s not so troublesome. This is also the first process of making miso in Northeast China. Then it’s boiled..."
While talking, Du Mei had already washed the beans, then poured the beans into the pot, added water, and covered the pot.
Yang Hua cooperated and began to add firewood, and the fire started to boil.
Du Mei thought that Fangzheng was going to learn how to make miso, so she patiently said: "Cooking is also important. The water should not be too much, and it should not be too little. It should be more than three times that of beans. Cook on high heat for about an hour. If the water in the middle When it’s boiled dry, add water. But you can’t add cold water, you must use hot water.”
While talking, Du Mei brought Fangzheng and Lone Wolf into the house, and while taking care of the two little guys who were sleeping soundly, he said, "When it's cooked, it's time to mash it up. It depends on personal preference. People like to eat watercress, so they should be light. Our family doesn’t like the kind that is broken and the watercress can’t be seen. Then we make sauce cubes and ferment, which takes a long time. When the fermentation is complete, break it up Now, cover it with a curtain and let it dry. When it is dry, add water and salt, bring to a boil and stir well, turn off the heat and let it cool, then pour it into the sauce jar, put the sauce cubes that have been made into small pieces, and stir well. Cover it with a breathable gauze and put it in a ventilated place with sunlight. Remember, there must be sunlight, and the miso can only ferment when there is sunlight. When the sun is sufficient, remove the gauze and let the sunlight directly The sauce promotes its fermentation, and it can be eaten after a month. Do not eat the sauce immediately, because after adding the sauce, you must wait until the miso is fully fermented before eating, otherwise it is easy to be poisoned.
In addition, during this period, you must use the sauce pestle to pound several times from bottom to top every day. There will be small pieces at the beginning, and they will all melt away slowly. When you beat the sauce every day, if there are black floating objects on the surface Skim it out, otherwise, the black soybean paste is not only ugly but also musty. After a month, the sauce will be ready. The freshly made sauce is thin and mushy. Whether it is raw sauce dipped in vegetables or deep-fried sauce, the concentration is just right. As the water slowly evaporates, the miso will become thicker and thicker. thick. "
Speaking of this, the child suddenly cried, and Du Mei hurriedly coaxed the child.
Fang Zheng bid farewell and left.
"Master, why are you asking such details?" After leaving the door, Lone Wolf asked curiously.
Fangzheng rolled his eyes at him and said: "The teacher knows all these things, and I told you that. Do you remember them all?"
"What did he say?" Lone Wolf asked in a daze.
Fangzheng slapped him directly, and after listening to his feelings for a long time, this bastard has been sneaking away! What a waste of time!
"Master, master, let's go like this? Don't wait to get the miso?" Lone Wolf asked persistently, not afraid of pain, following behind.
Fangzheng said: "What do you take? Come and get it in a month or two..."
"Uh... so long?" The lone wolf suddenly lost interest, he was only interested in the delicious food right in front of him.
Fangzheng shook his head helplessly. In fact, Northeast soybean paste is usually produced at the beginning of each year. However, some people like to celebrate at the end of the year, after the frost. Because during these two time periods, the weather is cold, and there are no disgusting things like flies and mosquitoes to make trouble. The sauce made is clean and hygienic.
Du Mei belongs to the family who put sauce on and eat it at the beginning of the year.
Of course, what Fangzheng asked Du Mei was not for this new batch of sauce, but for the miso sauce made last year. Walking around the village, you can smell the smell of beans almost every few houses... In addition to the smell of beans, there is also some smell of autumn. Fangzheng licked his tongue, couldn't help but glance at the mountain, time is so slow...
Fangzheng led the lone wolf around the mountain, and finally bought some large grains of salt before going up the mountain.
On the mountain, Fangzheng ran to the flower pot to check the situation. Sure enough, a bud had sprouted, which was as high as a finger! According to this speed, Fang Zheng reckoned that it would grow in the middle of the night without waiting until the next day!
In the following time, Fangzheng recited scriptures, ate, and then fell asleep.
On the second day, Fangzheng got up before dawn and the rooster didn't crow. It wasn't because he thought it was early, but because there was a sudden bang sound outside, as if something was broken, and then he heard The lone wolf exclaimed outside: "Who is it? Uh...he evildoer! No...Master! Come and see! What a big cabbage!"
Before Fangzheng went out, he heard the red boy complaining: "Senior brother, why are you howling in the morning? How big is the cabbage? What's the big deal... I'll fuck it! This cabbage is so big!"
"What Chinese cabbage? Didn't we hear that cabbage was planted in our monastery?" The monkey's voice sounded, and the next moment it turned into an exclamation: "My Buddha, why is it so big?"
Then I heard the squirrel complaining: "It's not yet dawn, are you getting ahead of the rooster? Are you going to start the whole thing? Hey, what is this? Cabbage? It's so big!"
Fangzheng, who was still sleepy at first, heard a few disciples say this, how could he fall asleep? Get up quickly, and reprimand at the same time: "No matter how big the cabbage is, it's still cabbage. What's the fuss? It's not for the teacher to tell you. Since you have entered the Buddhist gate, you have to learn the calmness of the Buddha. Don't be surprised when the sky falls. Do you understand?" ? Chinese cabbage, Chinese cabbage, can’t they be called Chinese cabbage? The small ones are called small cabbage!”
While Fangzheng was talking, he pushed the door, and then he found...he couldn't push it open!
"What's the situation?" Fangzheng was stunned: "Who blocked the door?"
"Master, wait a moment, I'll move the cabbage away." Red Boy shouted, and after a while, Hong Boy said: "Master, it's done."
Fangzheng opened the door, was about to say something, then froze in place! In front of him, a Chinese cabbage one meter high and 1.5 meters wide stood in front of him! The leaves of Chinese cabbage are like a small bed!
