Cooking tips:1. Soak the pig elbow for two hours in advance. Change the water several times in the middle of the process. In order to set up the pig elbow, first remove the bone (this step can be handed to the salesman for help). Then tie it up with a rope (to avoid boiling), But it can't be too tight (too tight and not easy to taste); 2. Put the marinated materials into the seasoning steel ball. Remember to put some red Qumi to help color. Put them together for cooking. After the water is boiled, skim off the foam. You will see that the foam is not much. This is because I soaked it in advance. If I didn't soak it, it is recommended to blanch the water first; 3. Cook until the chopsticks can be easily inserted and then add salt and other seasonings. Continue to cook 20 minutes (add some boiled eggs and marinate them together). Turn off the heat and soak for more than two hours to make it more tasty. 4. When eating, put the prefabricated pig elbow and soup into the pot together. Collect the juice together in high heat. Then add some icing sugar and oyster sauce (these are added into the paste base in advance). Continue the fire. And
