The big feast in the countryside starts with the pig slaughtering meal

Early the next morning, Lin Dong came to the villa.

He had to hurry up and make Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, otherwise there would not be enough time.

According to Mr. Zheng, some of the old man's family members should take time to come back today.

Lin Dong said that he didn't need to come back too early, and it would probably take the afternoon or even the evening for Buddha Jumps Over the Wall to be ready.

Yesterday, in addition to preparing the three time-consuming ingredients, Lin Dong actually also processed some other ingredients that needed to be processed. Some ingredients took a long time, and after he finished the beginning, he handed the rest to the nanny.

As for how to deal with them, he wrote them down on a piece of paper before leaving.

In other words, the Zheng family is a big family, and the ingredients can be prepared quickly, otherwise this is not a dish that can be prepared in two or three days.

The kitchen of the villa in the villa.

Lin Dong began to operate. Lin Dong had roughly operated the tendon yesterday, and the nanny also looked after it later.

The steps are not complicated, but it is more time-consuming.

Soak the tendon with the lowest heat until it starts to foam. Wait for the tendon to slowly deform and thicken.

Then change the pot, add some oil, and turn to high heat.

When the oil temperature is hot enough, put in the beef tendon and fry until golden brown.

When it can be pierced with chopsticks, take it out and put it into a pot of clean water and simmer for fifteen minutes. This process takes four hours.

When the time comes, change the water and repeat the previous step once. At this time, the tendon will be plump and white without a hard core. Put it in a fresh-keeping box to keep it fresh.

Complex ingredients such as sea cucumbers, shark fins, conches, and fish maws have also been soaked and processed in advance.

In addition, Lin Dong also processed some other ingredients in the middle.

Peel the fresh winter bamboo shoots, slice them, blanch them in water, and remove them after frying to control the oil.

Next is the broth.

Use pork bones, half a farm chicken, Jinhua ham, dried scallops, etc. to make soup together.

This process takes about two hours, and it is completed after cooling and skimming off the floating oil.

At twelve o'clock noon, Lin Dong has completed the general preparations.

At this time, he began to busy himself with some stacking processes, which is a very important step.

Take a large clay pot, put some ginger slices at the bottom, and put beef tendon and conch meat on the first layer. Put winter bamboo shoots and processed shark fins on the second layer. Put large flower mushrooms and chicken legs on the third layer. Put ham, quail eggs, fish maw, etc. on the fourth layer.

For the top layer, put sea cucumber, abalone and scallops.

Pour in the cooked broth, which needs to cover the ingredients, and then pour in an appropriate amount of Huadiao wine.

Fry some scallion oil and pour it on the top layer, a few crystal sugar, and a little cinnamon powder. Because the ham is salty, just put a little salt when you remove it from the pot.

Then put it in the pot and steam it on medium and low heat for two hours.

When Lin Dong turned on the fire and covered the lid, he couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh.

The number of ingredients and the complexity of the process are simply outrageous.

Western food can't be compared with Chinese food in this regard.

The things passed down by our ancestors are still a bit particular.

"This ancient famous dish is really difficult to make, and all these steps alone take a lot of time.."

Lin Dong shook his head.

Ordinary hotels nowadays would not make this kind of thing at all. Even if they do, they would omit countless steps. As for the ingredients, don't even think about it. They would probably be replaced by various inferior products.

The taste of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall made in that way would probably be just like that!

But when Lin Dong finished his work and walked out of the kitchen, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

At noon, Mr. Zheng asked him to eat, but Lin Dong was not available.

Fortunately, there are two kitchens in the old man's house, otherwise he really wouldn't know what to eat at noon.

"Hey, Grandpa Zheng, please give me two pieces of bread so I can fill my stomach."

The lunch must be cold now.

It's better to eat two pieces of bread to fill my stomach.

"You kid, don't be so polite, I'll ask Xiao Chen to heat up the food for you."

Mr. Zheng gave instructions, and the nanny Aunt Chen quickly went to heat up the food.

"Thank you, Grandpa Zhang."

Lin Dong said with a smile

"You're welcome. I'm sorry for your hard work today."

"Xiaodong, this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall should be almost ready, right?" (To read the exciting novel, go to Fulu Novel Network!)

Seeing Lin Dong busy in the kitchen for so long, and the kitchen exuding some fragrance from time to time, Mr. Zhang was a little itchy.

After all, the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall made by the previous chefs, although not to the old man's taste, the taste was really good!

It can only be said that each has its merits!

The nanny brought the lunch, and the dishes were very good.

There were chicken, duck, fish and meat, which was obviously the food eaten by a rich family.[]

"Your grandfather and I usually eat light meals and don't eat greasy food. But since you've been busy all day, you need some nourishment. These are the dishes Xiao Chen specially prepared for you."

"Try it and see if it suits your taste."

Lin Dong nodded and started to eat.

After a busy morning, he was indeed hungry.

The food was not bad, and it was much better than ordinary family meals.

But compared with Lin Dong's cooking skills, it was far worse. However,

Lin Dong was not picky when he was hungry. He ate three bowls of rice in total before he felt full.

"I’m full, Grandpa, Grandpa Zheng, the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall should be ready in more than an hour. As for the quantity, it should be enough for seventy or eighty people!"

"Of course, it's just a dish, or even a hot dish, and it can't be used as a staple food."

Lin Dong said with a smile

"This is not important, what is important is whether the old man is satisfied"

"'Won't your grandpa come over today?"

"He won't come. He has something to do at home today."

"Well, that old guy did a good thing, I hope my old man will be satisfied."

The old man was also sitting on the sofa at this time.

But Lin Dong could see that his spirit seemed to be a little worse than yesterday.

Birth, aging, sickness and death are the laws that humans cannot escape.

Two hours passed quickly, and Lin Dong went into the kitchen from time to time to see how the stew was going.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, a rich aroma was already emanating from the kitchen.

""Well, Dad, the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall that Xiaodong made today smells so good."

Old Master Zheng looked at the haggard old man leaning on the sofa.

"This scent......"

The old man opened his eyes slightly, his expression was a little dazed, and he seemed to be more energetic.

"It seems to be this scent"

""Grandpa, this will take a while."

As Lin Dong said this, some of the younger generations of the Zheng family also arrived.

There were more than ten people in total.

There were middle-aged people, elderly people, and children.

Lin Dong believed that there must be some people who had not come back yet.

"Hey, Dad, what's that smell? It's so strong, a bit like the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall that the chefs used to make, but it seems a little different."

"It's really delicious. Oh, I really want to drink the soup and eat the meat."

""Well, great grandfather, you are so greedy, secretly making delicious food again."

Several children ran to the old man and looked at him with a smile.

However, they did not dare to pounce on him.

They were worried about hurting him.

At this time, the great grandfather's body was not much different from that of a child.

"This must be Master Lin, thank you for being so busy all day.

Several younger generations of the Zheng family greeted Lin Dong.

"You're welcome. It's my duty. I was entrusted by my grandfather. My great grandfather also took good care of my grandfather's wife."

Lin Dong smiled gently.

""Master Lin, is the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall ready?" an older man asked.
