Pork belly is a dish that is very difficult to deal with in advance, and the method of making cold water pork belly is even more troublesome.

Soak it with water mixed with baking soda for two hours to fully open the pork belly. After picking up the pork belly, you need to clean it up, then put it in boiling water and blanch it once, then soak it in clean water for three hours to completely remove the alkaline smell of the pork belly.

It takes five hours just to add baking soda and remove the smell. In fact, less than half of the time to make this dish has passed.

After preliminary treatment, you can add the prepared ingredients and put them in clean water and cook them over high heat. The time is about one hour. This is a very important step in making pork belly. Whether the cooked pork belly tastes delicious depends on the ingredients added in this step and the heat.

Xu Wanchun couldn't restore the ingredients of Li Ji cold water pork belly exactly the same, but she also had her own ideas. Based on her own observations, she added the confirmed ingredients such as tangerine peel, star anise, cinnamon, Jingjie, pepper, white wine, and ginger one by one, and then added the white angelica and white cardamom that she had imagined in her mind.

The whole process is cooked over high heat until the pork belly is completely expanded.

When Xu Wanchun opened the lid of the pot, Feng Lin and others smelled a strong fragrance. They didn't have to complete the last step of the cold water process. They believed that by cutting the pig's belly like this, they could all resolve the entire pig's belly. The belly pig that was cooked over a fire after various spices and the fishy pig's belly that just got back were completely different things.

The belly pigs cooked over high heat have completely penetrated into the pig's belly. Now there is a last step, which is over-cold water, which is also the longest time-consuming step.

Xu Wanchun cut a pig's belly into three parts, put it in a box containing mineral water, and put it in the refrigerator. If it is traditionally done, it should be to get cold well water, but now even in rural areas, there are very few water wells that are normally used, so Xu Wanchun directly uses mineral water instead.

According to her idea, these three pork belly are soaked for six, eight or ten hours respectively, and see which time the pork belly tastes the best.

It took seven hours to get the pork belly from four o'clock to get it done until now. If you want to eat the pork belly in cold water, you have to soak it until tomorrow morning.

Although it tastes easy to eat in a pork liver shop, it is really not easy to make a delicacy.

The next morning, when Feng Lin got up to practice singing, Xu Wanchun and Fengxue had already gotten up. Xu Wanchun didn't know, but Fengxue rarely got up so early.

Under the camera of the wind and snow, Xu Wanchun took out the first portion of the pork belly from the refrigerator.

After soaking for a night, the pork belly taken out absorbed enough moisture, and the color was white and plump, making it look particularly attractive.

Xu Wanchun, who woke up in the morning, did not wear her chef's clothes, and did not wear makeup on her face. She just wore a set of home clothes and her hair was simply tied to the back. This casual outfit not only did not affect her beauty, but instead had a more intimate atmosphere.

After picking up the pig's belly, Xu Wanchun put on an apron, picked up a kitchen knife, and cut the pig's belly on the chopping board arranged in the restaurant. Xu Wanchun's knife skills were very neat, and it was obvious that after years of training. Feng Lin's singing voice on the balcony of the living room also came over. In harmony with Xu Wanchun's kitchen knife, he actually felt an indescribable harmony.

After Xu Wanchun cut the pork belly, she also cooked a pot of pork belly with white porridge, which was their breakfast this morning. While cooking the porridge, she also made two sauce dishes, one ginger and oil dishes, and one chili soy sauce dishes. The ingredients were different from those in Li Ji Pork Belly Store, which was specially matched according to the tastes of Feng Lin and the others.

Although the morning recording seemed very irregular, without makeup or changing into a chef's uniform, Xu Wanchun was obviously not in her best condition, but she exuded a daily family flavor.

Just like a wife who just woke up in the morning, she didn't have time to put on makeup, she just simply tied her hair up and prepared morning breakfast for her husband in the kitchen. The husband was exercising on the balcony to prepare for the challenge of a new day.

This is a wonderful morning for an ordinary family, giving people such a wonderful feeling of life.

Of course, this is largely because Xu Wanchun's appearance is really good. At the same time, it is the youthful and beautiful time in her life. Even if she wakes up in the morning, it will not damage her beauty, but instead gives people a real and warm feeling. If another woman with disheveled hair, sallow skin, and haggard face gets up to do these things, you won't think life is so beautiful, you will only think that life is really a ruthless carving knife.

Feng Lin finished singing practice, Feng Xue and Xu Wanchun had already washed up, and Xu Wanchun seemed to have put on light makeup.

Feng Lin was a little confused. He didn't change the recording just now. Now that the recording is over, are you going to put on makeup?

Xu Wanchun said shyly: "This is all what Fengxue asked. She said it would be more natural to shoot without makeup when she woke up in the morning."

Fengxue had turned off the camera and looked at the cold water pork belly that was intact on the table. She wanted to eat it very much, but she had to wait for the other two to cut, put it together and give it a comprehensive shot.

"Try it. If you think the lens with no makeup just now has good effect when doing it, then use the lens with no makeup. If the effect is not good, use the lens with no makeup now. Anyway, you have to cut it twice in a while." Feng Xue waved her hand and said, "But I think the lens just now should have a good effect. When I did it later, with a little light effect, the effect should be good."

I don’t know if I should say that this girl is talented in these aspects, but when it comes to these post-production things, she is very knowledgeable.

While the few people were talking, Zhou Lijuan, the little assistant, also came. Her own home was in Shaozhou, so she did not live with Feng Lin and the others, but went home.

After waiting for a while, the porridge was ready. Feng Lin looked at the porridge cooked there, and then looked at the plate of cold water pork belly on the table, "Why? Let's have breakfast first?"

Feng Lin was asking Director Fengxue Da’s opinion. When filming this matter, he still had to follow Director Fengxue Da’s arrangements. However, looking at the tempting plate of pork belly on the table, he had to wait for the other two plates in the refrigerator. How could he bear it? Besides, the last plate of pork belly will have to wait until ten o’clock to retrieve it. That would be a tormenting person.

Director Fengxue looked at the plate of pork belly on the table, then looked at the porridge that had been cooked in the kitchen, swallowing her saliva. To be honest, she had already been a little unable to help it.

"Okay, but we have to keep half a plate of pork belly, so we can't just take an empty plate in a while."
