Back at the scenic spot, everyone got out of the car and helped Lin Xu take the ingredients to the kitchen.

Shen Jiayue put down the chicken wings and asked curiously:

"I can be responsible for marinating the chicken wings. When will I start?"

"It's too late to marinate it in the afternoon, but it will be salty if it's too early."

"Oh...can we make first-grade tofu now? I'm still waiting to eat it."

Lin Xu took out several packs of sea salt from the cupboard and said with a smile:

"Not yet, I have to boil the brine for making salted duck first, so as not to delay the use at night."

Salt brine is essential for salted duck, and it is also the soul of salted duck.

Salt brine pays attention to the old brine. The older the brine is, the more delicious the duck will be. The reason is that the duck has been soaked in the salt brine for a long time, and the soluble umami substances in the meat will dissolve into the salt brine.

Soak the duck again, and these umami substances will penetrate into the duck meat again, making the duck meat more delicious.

The older the brine is, the more obvious this effect will be.

Therefore, some restaurants in Jinling use the banner of centuries-old restaurants.

In fact, as long as enough ducks are soaked and the brine is properly preserved, the quality of duck meat can be improved even if it is not a century-old brine.

Sea salt is needed to make brine.

Lin Xu took a large stainless steel soup bucket, put most of the bucket of mineral water in it, and then added eight packets of salt, as well as spices such as peppercorns, star anise, angelica, cardamom, etc.

"With so much salt, won't it be very salty?"

Shen Jiayue was a little surprised when she saw the amount of salt used. This was going to be made into a video, and there was definitely a lot of lethal amounts on the barrage.

Lin Xu said:

"You need too much salt to marinate the duck meat thoroughly, and this pot of salt brine is not just used once, it will stay there forever. Use a salinity meter to monitor it when the time comes. If the salt content is low, add more salt. It can become a family heirloom."<

/p>

Shen Jiayue:???????

Does it still have this effect?

She thought about the situation when she was old and had no strength to say to her children, "I left a pot of salt water for you." She felt that there was a high probability that the oxygen tube would be removed.

Lin Xu brings the salt brine to a boil over high heat, simmers it for half an hour, and sets it aside to cool.

This thing cannot be left in a stainless steel pot for a long time. Lin Xu plans to ask his mother to buy a large vat and pour the salt brine into it for storage.

After finishing these tasks, he took the tofu bought from the supermarket and prepared to make the legendary dish - first-grade tofu!
