Since moldy bean paste is a spoiled ingredient, it must be light when poured into a basin to clean. If the bean paste is too hard, it will break, affecting the appearance of the finished product in the later stage. During the cleaning process, be careful to clean out the black bad beans and throw them away, otherwise the embarrassing situation of "a piece of mouse shit ruins a pot of soup".

Of course, the taste of bean paste is actually very strong. Even if there are so many broken or broken ones, it will not affect the overall situation. After all, not everyone's tongue is "precision electronic instrument".

But Chen Chong was unwilling to do it. Since he wanted to do it, he had to do the most perfect one and would never ignore any details.

The recipe of Legendary Douban Sauce is already in his mind, and the production process is completely familiar. According to his own understanding, the reason why Legendary Douban Sauce has a strong sauce aroma is not that some magical seasoning or ingredients are added.

Its legendary lies in the freshness of the ingredients, the fineness of the craftsmanship, and the complexity of the fermentation process. Any step that is not perfect will lose its reputation as a "legend".

In other words, if the Legend Douban Sauce is divided into ten steps, each step has only a bonus of 0.1 points, then there seems to be nothing special, but from the overall perspective, ten 0.1 points are 1 point! The gap will naturally widen.

After washing the moldy bean paste, drain it.

Chen Chong wiped the water stains on his hands and took out a clay pot under the stove.

Originally, this clay pot was used to soak some pickled radish and soak some pickled radish, but later the restaurant business was in a downturn, which slowly gave up this idea.

Now, this clay pot has a new function, which is to be used to serve moldy beans later. It is worth noting that the difference between ordinary bean paste and legendary bean paste is that there is a difference from this step.

In terms of material, you must use pottery when choosing a container, otherwise it will directly affect the effect of later fermentation.

Clean the clay pot inside and out several times, then put it in the pot and boil it in boiling water for seven or eight minutes, with the purpose of removing oil and sterilizing it.

Chen Chong's wok was not particularly large, and the clay pot was not small, so he had to put it horizontally in the pot and keep it flipped so that the clay pot was fully exposed to boiling water. Therefore, it took only seven or eight minutes to double it.

This process is very tiring. Not only does the arm use force, but the face also has to endure the torture of high temperatures. The sweat on the forehead and the steam are no longer clear.

After cleaning the clay pot, it was about to lift it up and wipe it dry, an accident occurred.

Bang! (Oh, darn!)

Two discordant sounds appeared almost at the same time. Chen Chong's hands did not hold the pottery, which directly caused the pottery to fall to the ground and break!

My heart was broken too!

"Is that what? I've worked hard to wash it for so long, but it's gone?"

After ten seconds of stagnation, Chen Chong still couldn't believe the facts that happened in front of him. He felt a sense of frustration and almost couldn't help it, wanting to give himself a big mouth.

"There is only one clay pot in the restaurant. If you buy it now, it will take at least four or five hours to go back and forth!"

Although the food street is located near the university town and the transportation is convenient, you can only go to the surrounding area of ​​the city, which is too far away.

Just when he was in trouble, his eyes suddenly looked at the earthen pottery jar in the corner of the kitchen, then moved away, and then moved back.

"Although this broken thing is big, ugly and broken, it is indeed a real pottery. Even from an objective perspective, its texture is better than the broken pot."

Chen Chong frowned and looked hesitant. In fact, to put it bluntly, he still had a grudge in his heart. After all, he tried hard to get something broken, and he wanted to smash it with a stick.

"Forget it, I'm in a hurry. Anyway, moldy Douban needs to be sun-dried and dew-dried for fifteen days. During this period, I'll buy a new one to complete the final mixing and fermentation of the Douban sauce."

Having made up his mind, Chen Chong did not waste time. He quickly cleaned up the fragments on the ground. When he came to the broken earth pot, he was about to reach out and lift it out. His pupils suddenly condensed and his brows frowned like the old man!

I saw that the rice that fell into last night was all black and green, and some even had moldy!

"How is this possible?" he murmured to himself, "You know, the normal shelf life of ordinary rice is generally 3 to 6 months, and the shelf life of rice after processing is even longer! In other words, it is absolutely impossible to get moldy to this level in just half a day! Even soaking it in water will not work! Besides, although the earthen clay pot is worn, it is very dry inside and there is no feeling of moisture at all."

Chen Chong's heartbeat gradually accelerated, and a bold but unaware thought emerged in his mind.

He lit a cigarette slightly numbly, took out a white radish from the refrigerator for practicing knife skills, and carefully threw it in through the big hole in the stomach of the broken pot. Then he squatted down on the spot, staring at the white radish while holding the cigarette.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Time passed slowly, and at about the third minute, the radish in the earthen jar began to change.

It first rolled, as if the center of gravity was shifted, then wrinkles appeared on the smooth surface, and the volume was slowly shrinking and it was in a shriveled state, as if the moisture inside was disappearing little by little.

Chen Chong was so impressed that he didn't notice that the cigarette at his fingertips was about to burn to the cigarette butt.

The radish in the soil jar is still changing, its volume is reduced by half, and its white skin becomes yellow and dry, exactly the same as the air-dried radish you usually see!

A burning sensation came from his fingertips, and the slight stinging pain woke Chen Chong who was so stunning. While he shook off the cigarette holder, his heart beat violently uncontrollably, and the blood in his body rushed straight to the top of his head, and his cheeks were as red as blood.

"There is no doubt that this broken earthenware jar can speed up the flow rate of time!"

Dongdongdongdongdong...

The heart beating faster and faster, as if it was about to pop out of the body. Chen Chong slapped his thighs violently, so excited that he couldn't make any sound!

It felt like I had transformed into a gymnast, running up, jumping, straight back flipped the body and swiveled 900 degrees, and then landed steadily amid the various flashes and the audience's cheers!

He raised his hand to break up the foam clouds above his head. Chen Chong couldn't put it down when he held the earthenware jar. His cautious look was afraid that he would break the earthenware jar!

"What a great baby. With it here, you can complete the legendary bean paste today!"

He licked his mouth, slowly put down the earthen pottery jar, and cleared out all the debris inside.

Judging from the test just now, the earthen clay pot has a warm-up period of at least two to three minutes after receiving new items. Otherwise, Chen Chong would not dare to put his hand in, so as not to regret it for life.

The only thing to be careful is that the earthen clay pot is too broken. In addition to the large holes in the belly, there are some small cracks on the wall of the jar, which looks mysterious.

Chen Chong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and praised himself extremely against his will.

"Fortunately, I'm not an impulsive person..."
Chapter completed!
