Chapter 525 Making Pig Blood Meatballs
After that, she washed her hands and demonstrated to everyone. Everyone followed her example, and soon, every small basin was filled with minced tofu.
Then, Zheng Sisi said: "Now, we need to knead these shredded tofu into a paste so that it can be better mixed with other ingredients." Everyone started to work again, and soon, pots of fine tofu paste appeared before their eyes.
Zheng Sisi looked at everyone's work, nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Next, we need to add the minced meat and mix it with the tofu paste. Don't forget to sprinkle an appropriate amount of salt."
Following her instructions, everyone poured the meat paste into the basin, mixed it with the tofu paste, and added appropriate amount of salt for seasoning. As the mixing continued, an enticing aroma spread.
At this time, Zheng Sisi mysteriously took out a bag of five-spice powder and said to everyone with a smile: "This is my secret weapon."
She opened the package and sprinkled the five-spice powder evenly on the mixture. Instantly, the fragrance became stronger. Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed, as if they could already imagine the deliciousness of the pig blood meatballs.
Zheng Sisi smiled and said, "Okay, now we're going to put fresh pig blood in and let them fully blend." Everyone carefully poured the pig blood into the basin, stirring gently to ensure that every part was evenly covered.
While everyone was busy, Zheng Sisi originally planned to add some orange peel or tangerine peel to the pig blood balls, but since she couldn't find a suitable source, she had to use five-spice powder instead.
However, judging from everyone's expressions, they did not seem disappointed by the lack of this seasoning. On the contrary, they were full of anticipation for the upcoming pig blood meatballs.
When the tofu, minced meat and pig blood were perfectly mixed together, showing a kind of stickiness and elasticity, Zheng Sisi felt that the time was right, and she began to teach them how to roll the meatballs.
She told everyone that the balls should be rolled bigger than usual and that they should be rolled between the palms of both hands to make them more round. Everyone followed her with great interest. Although the movements were a little unfamiliar, everyone was fully focused and tried hard to master the skills.
Gradually, evenly sized, round pig blood balls appeared in everyone's hands. Looking at the results of their own work, everyone's faces were filled with satisfied smiles. Although they were tired and sweating, everyone was in a particularly happy mood.
"After rolling the meatball into a ball, keep your hands at a certain distance. Then toss the meatball back and forth between your hands and catch it. This will squeeze out the air inside the meatball, making it stronger. It will not crack easily when exposed to the sun or smoked later." Zheng Sisi explained in detail while operating skillfully.
"Princess, would it be better if you toss it a few more times?" someone asked curiously.
Everyone looked at Zheng Sisi expectantly. She smiled and nodded, "Well, tinkering with it a few more times will indeed help, but you have to be moderate and not tinker with it all the time, otherwise your work efficiency and quality will be affected."
Hearing this, everyone smiled at each other and said they understood. Then, there was a burst of cheerful laughter at the scene, everyone was immersed in the work of making pig blood meatballs, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Put the prepared pig blood balls in a winnowing basket and arrange them neatly in a row, leaving a certain gap between each one to prevent them from sticking to each other.
The female workers looked at the results of their own work with satisfied smiles on their faces and chattered away. Fortunately, they were wearing hats and masks, so they could communicate freely without worrying about saliva splashing.
After teaching how to make pig blood balls, Zheng Sisi became concerned about whether the tofu for making fermented bean curd was ready.
A female worker enthusiastically took her to another area, where six or seven tofu molds were neatly arranged, exuding a faint bean fragrance.
Rose and Lily skillfully moved the stones that were pressing on the tofu. Zheng Sisi opened the mold and checked the quality of the tofu. She found that they were similar to the tofu just now, but slightly thinner.
Zheng Sisi carefully opened one of the boxes of tofu. A few sharp-eyed workers nearby noticed her actions and immediately ran over excitedly.
They gathered together curiously, their eyes fixed on the box of tofu, as if expecting something new to appear.
This was a completely new food for these workers, and everyone was eager to learn how to make it.
Zheng Sisi touched the tofu and it was still a little warm, but this did not affect the subsequent operations.
She picked up a knife and skillfully cut the tofu into small squares, and directed the female workers to bring a clean dustpan.
