Chapter 215 Guizhi Wants to Make Money (Roast Suckling Pig 1)

Guizhi found Qu Dongjia and said with a smile:

"Uncle Qu! My sow has given birth to so many piglets!"

Mr. Qu was genuinely happy for Guizhi and said with a smile:

"Congratulations! Guizhi has a precious son! When he grows up, he'll be a walking treasure trove!"

Guizhi smiled and was also very happy.

"Uncle Qu, I hope to sell the piglet as soon as it is weaned. It will save time and effort, and we can still make money!"

Qu Dongjia, puzzled, asked:

"Guizhi came to me today to sell piglets? This isn't something Uncle Qu is good at, is it? No! This doesn't seem like something Guizhi would do!"

Could it be that Guizhi has another brilliant idea, and wants to make money with Uncle Qu?

Guizhi nodded vigorously, gave a thumbs-up, and said:

"Hehe! Uncle Qu is amazing! He guessed right away! I want to open a roast suckling pig shop. Customers can eat there, or we can offer takeout!"

Uncle Qu! Roast suckling pig is a delicious dish; its skin is crispy, the meat tender, its color golden, and its flavor rich. It should be very appealing.

"What are Guizhi's plans?"

"Uncle Qu, I'll provide the recipe, but you'll need to buy my suckling pig as the main ingredient. As for other aspects like renting or buying shops, and personnel management, you're more knowledgeable than I am!"

"How about it? Let's cooperate, Uncle Qu?"

After thinking carefully for a moment, Qu Dongjia asked:

"Wouldn't it be too monotonous to only sell roast suckling pig?"

Gui Zhi's lips curled slightly upwards:

"Uncle Qu! Don't worry! If roast suckling pig is too monotonous, we can add some grilled meat skewers! I also have a few big fat cattle that I raise, so I can slaughter them and sell the meat!"

Mr. Qu frowned slightly and said with a wry smile:

"The chickens, ducks, and geese raised in Guizhi can be poached, and the suckling pigs raised are used for roasting! The cattle raised are also slaughtered for meat? So, what about the cattle slaughtering part..."

"Guizhi! Uncle Qu can help find an excuse to do me a favor with the government, one or two twigs. But if it's too much, Uncle Qu's small frame might not be able to handle it!"

Gui Zhi sat as still as Mount Tai:

"Uncle Qu! Since I suggested selling beef, I'll find a way. Uncle Qu, we can add a few beef dishes to our restaurant later!"

No more worries about customers or supply!

Qu Dongjia's brow relaxed, and he widened his eyes, saying:

"Ah! Guizhi! Okay! Let's order it like this! I'll find a shop, and you can provide the goods! We'll split the profits 50/50, how about that?"

Guizhi pondered:

"Uncle Qu! A 50/50 split? Am I taking too much of a advantage? I have to pay you back for providing the goods. I only provide the recipe; Uncle Qu will be responsible for everything else!"

How about we split it 40/60? I'll take 40%, and Uncle Qu will take 60%! What do you think?"

Qu Dongjia stared at Guizhi as if she were some rare treasure, making Guizhi feel embarrassed.

"Uncle Qu! Why are you looking at me like that! Is there something on my face?"

Mr. Qu laughed heartily:′

"Guizhi, Guizhi! Uncle Qu was watching and saw someone turning away money instead of making it. Turns out it's our Guizhi who's so generous! Hahaha! Hahaha!"

Guizhi squinted one eye and made a face, saying:

"Uncle Qu! I didn't want to either! I was reluctant to give it up. But one shouldn't be too greedy, especially when it comes to cooperating with Uncle Qu. Hehehe!"

"Alright, alright! Let's split it 40/60! Guizhi will provide the recipe, the suckling pig, and the beef. The rest can be left to Uncle Qu!"

"Uncle Qu, let me write down the recipe for roast suckling pig first. When we find a chef, we need to have him roast it first."

"Alright then! You write it now, and I'll find a barbecue chef and have a blacksmith make a barbecue grill."

Guizhi began writing the prescription on the paper, explaining it as she wrote:

"Uncle Qu, a suckling pig (about 30 jin) is a must, but there are requirements. It is best to choose a healthy suckling pig with a well-proportioned body."

Uncle Qu, do we need to prepare the marinade?

Salt: about half a pound, this is used to marinate the inside of the suckling pig to make it flavorful.

Also use white sugar: an appropriate amount, to increase sweetness and color.

Of course, spices such as star anise powder, five-spice powder, sand ginger powder, and Sichuan peppercorn powder are indispensable. The chef knows the appropriate amount of each to enhance the aroma of the suckling pig.

Uncle Qu, also prepare fermented bean curd, sesame paste and other sauces: each in appropriate amounts, to add flavor.

Garlic mince, ginger mince, and other seasonings: in appropriate amounts, to remove fishy smells and enhance aroma.

Uncle Qu, do we also need to prepare some skin rinsing?

Maltose, white vinegar, water, etc. are mixed in a certain proportion and used to coat the skin of the suckling pig, so that the skin of the roasted suckling pig is red and bright and crispy.

As for the other ingredients:

Cornstarch, white wine, etc., are used to aid in marinating and enhance flavor.

Soybean oil or peanut oil is used for brushing during roasting to make the suckling pig's skin crispier.

Qu Dongjia asked:

"Is this okay?"

Guizhidao:

"Uncle Qu, don't worry. We'll write the instructions right away:"

Slaughter the piglet thoroughly, remove the internal organs and impurities, and rinse it with clean water.

Split the suckling pig open from the inside, cut off some of the ribs, remove the spare ribs and shoulder blades, and dig out the pig brain for marinating and roasting.

Step 1: First, marinate the suckling pig.

Mix the salt, sugar, and spices in the marinade evenly, apply it to the inside of the suckling pig, and marinate for half an hour to an hour to allow the flavors to fully penetrate.

For a deeper marinating effect, you can apply the marinade again and extend the marinating time appropriately.

Step two, hehe! Uncle Qu! Should we apply some skin lotion?

Mix the leather sap evenly and apply it evenly to the pig skin with a brush or paintbrush to moisten the surface and coat it with a thin layer of leather sap.

Then fix the piglets?

Use roasting hooks or special tools to secure the suckling pig in place so that it maintains its shape during roasting.

Uncle Qu, the crucial moment has arrived! The final roasting of the suckling pig:

Place the suckling pig on the oven and roast the inside until it is half-cooked.

During the roasting process, the suckling pig is constantly turned to ensure it is heated evenly.

Observe the color change of the suckling pig skin and brush on vegetable oil or cooking oil as needed to make the suckling pig skin crispier.

When the suckling pig skin is roasted to a bright red color and crispy, the roasted suckling pig can be removed.

Uncle Qu! The chefs' suckling pig is ready. Now for the important part:

Sliced ​​and served!

Remove the roasted suckling pig from the oven, let it cool slightly, then slice and serve.

It can be eaten with layered pancakes, sweet and sour vegetables, scallion balls, sweet bean sauce and other dipping sauces to enhance the taste and flavor.

Uncle Qu! The flavor characteristics of our roast suckling pig are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Crispy Skin: The carefully roasted suckling pig skin is bright red, crispy and delicious, and is the finishing touch of the whole dish.

Tender meat: The suckling pig is tender and juicy, melting in your mouth, which contrasts sharply with the crispy skin.

Rich aroma: The marinade and various spices and sauces used in the roasting process give the suckling pig a rich aroma that makes it mouthwatering.

Rich in flavor: Pairing it with different dipping sauces can make the roast suckling pig taste even more diverse.

Uncle Qu! Good things come to those who wait! Don't be fooled by the complicated and time-consuming process. The customer comes first! Our chefs work so hard so that you'll give them a compliment. Delicious!
