Chapter 1084: Visiting the Farm
As a real * chef without a certificate, when Li Shenxing came to the kitchen and decided to brush his hands, the first thing was to familiarize himself with the battlefield he was about to set foot on, after all, before cooking, you must at least understand where to put the seasonings, tableware and ingredients that will be used~, this is the most important preparation before cooking.
After checking the refrigerator and vegetable basket, Li Shenxing decided what cold dishes to make later, carrot shreds mixed with enoki mushrooms.
It's a very simple cold dish, and it's also very delicious without chili oil, with the point that it suits most people's tastes.
Shred the carrots, remove the roots of enoki mushrooms and wash them, take out a soup pot, fill it with a small half pot of water, add a few drops of oil and a pinch of salt.
After the water boils, put the enoki mushrooms in and boil them first, and then put the carrots in after they are almost cooked, and when the carrots are blanched, turn off the heat and pour out the enoki mushrooms and shredded carrots in cold water, and then dry them and put them on a plate for later use.
The next thing is to prepare the most important seasoning, take out a few garlic and press it into garlic paste, then take out a small milk pot and pour some olive oil into it, wait for the oil temperature to rise, add the garlic paste and stir-fry until fragrant, then pour in the soy sauce and cook a little to turn off the heat.
Finally, just pour the seasoning into the previously cooked enoki mushroom and carrot shreds, then pour some balsamic vinegar, use chopsticks to evenly, and put a little celery leaves as a decoration and serve.
There are so many portions of a cold dish, and it is definitely not enough for so many people to eat, and one spoonful per person is almost gone.
Just when I looked through the refrigerator just now, I found that there was still a packet of okra, so Li Shenxing decided to add a cold okra.
Cold okra is simpler, after blanching, directly pour the prepared sauce on the table, if you want to make the plate look better, cut the okra in half and then neatly place it on the plate, and finally pour the sauce, in order to increase the taste, after blanching, you can put it in ice water to chill it, so that not only can keep the okra green, but also when cutting the okra there is not so much mucus on the okra.
By the time Li Shenxing had finished the two cold dishes, the white rice porridge was also cooked.
Just at this time, Aunt Mary also made her favorite English breakfast, so the two of them worked together and brought it to the table.
Since breakfast has been prepared, it is time to have breakfast, and when Li Shenxing hesitated to call his grandparents up, grandpa and grandma walked into the restaurant one after another.
"Hey~, good morning grandparents, did you sleep well last night?" Li Shenxing greeted with a bright smile.
"Good morning, my little naughty, seeing you coming, grandma's sleep has improved. Elena smiled and walked over to Li Shenxing and hugged him.
Li Shenxing gently patted his grandmother's back and joked: "That's good, as long as you don't dislike us for being too noisy, I think it's a good idea to stay here for half a month." ”
"Half a month?really? You're not kidding?" said Grandma's face was surprised and incredulous.
Li Shenxing continued to tease: "Whether it's a joke or not, it depends on your decision. ”
"Oh~God~! That's great news, it's great...... David, did you hear that, Daniel said that they were going to stay here for half a month, so that we could go and play with the little peas and the little buns. ”
"Yes, yes, I hear you, and that's great news. Grandpa replied with a gentle face.
"Grandma, I'm jealous, I thought you would be reluctant to me, but I didn't expect..."
"Hahaha, little naughty, you are all a father, so don't be jealous with your own children. Seeing her grandson's jealous appearance, grandma smiled.
Of course, Li Shenxing would not really do anything to be jealous of his children, this was just to make his grandmother happy.
"Grandparents, I specially cooked some side dishes and white rice porridge today, do you want to have one?" Li Shenxing opened the topic.
"White rice porridge? hahaha... Of course I'm going to have one, I haven't tasted your craft for a long time, hurry up, help me serve a bowl. "When I heard Li Shenxing cooking, the happiest person was my grandfather.
Although he has lived in the UK for decades, his grandfather's stomach still retains his Chinese stomach, although his grandmother's food is delicious, but his grandfather will still cook some Chinese food from time to time to adjust it, but because he has no talent for cooking, the food he makes can only be described as general, so most of it is he makes his own food, of course, sometimes grandma will also give a few bites of face.
So every time Li Shenxing and them came, except for grandma, grandpa was the happiest, because he could taste his favorite Chinese food.
Then, without waiting for Lee Shin-heung to go upstairs to call, Kim Hyun-sook and Lee Jung-guk, uncle and two cousins, as well as Hyo-ri and the children also got up and washed up and came down from the second floor.
So, everyone came to the restaurant together to share this rare breakfast.
*-*The arrangement of this year's holiday is so annoying*-*
After breakfast, the uncle was going to check the farm as usual, and Lee Shin-xing, who was idle, took Hyo-ri and the children with him, while Lee Jung-kook stayed at home to chat with his grandparents, while Kim Hyun-sook and Aunt Mary were making afternoon desserts in the kitchen together, and the two cousins went out after breakfast, they had a friend party today, they were all friends and classmates who grew up together, and every time they came back, they would find time to get together and connect with each other.
The farm is not far from the villa, in order to let Xiaoli and the children and others better enjoy the scenery of the farm, the uncle specially drove an open-top agricultural vehicle, that is, a small four-wheel drive tractor with a body hung on the back, and then used two wooden planks on both sides of the body as a stool, which is very similar to the tractor that Li Shenxing saw in the countryside when he was a child.
The morning air has a hint of coolness and fragrance, and it is very pleasant to walk through it.
The uncle was not fast driving the tractor, and while driving, he explained some of the situation on the farm to Li Shenxing and them.
When passing by the cornfield, the uncle stopped the car, and then said to Li Shenxing: "This year's corn is growing very well, and the sweetness is very high, I will pick some and cook it at home for you to taste, if you like to eat, you can pick it every day, now is the time when the corn is the most tender and delicious." ”
While he was talking, my uncle had already broken a basket of tender corn.
"Wow~!This corn grows so well, my mind is already thinking about how to eat it, fresh sweet corn roast, fried corn tortillas, fresh glutinous corn paste, fresh corn porridge, corn carrot pork dumplings, corn bone broth, corn soup......" A string of various corn-based delicacies slipped out of Li Shenxing's mouth.
"I can't wait to hear you say that. Nathan never imagined that there were so many ways to make one of the most common types of corn, which was an eye-opener.
Li Shenxing also came to live on the farm before, but basically his aunt cooked, and at that time he was still very young and had few opportunities to show his cooking skills, and he came here to play around for vacation, so his uncle actually didn't know much about what kind of cooking skills Li Shenxing had reached.
Li Shenxing smiled and said, "Uncle, this is just a small beginning. ”
"Really, I'm looking forward to what you're going to do next. ”
"That's right, in the next few days, I will let you taste doubtful life uncle. ”
"Doubting life? Wow~... Sounds pretty good. Uncle squinted and laughed.
While their uncle and nephew were chatting, the greedy little pea had already opened a corn and gnawed it like this, and the little bun on the side saw this, and also learned from his sister to hold a corn and nibble on it.
By the time Hyori found out, the corn had already been half eaten by the two little guys.
Fortunately, corn can also be eaten raw, especially fresh corn, which is no worse when eaten raw than when cooked, but more fresh and sweet.
However, because he was worried that the child's stomach was more delicate, Li Shenxing did not let the little greedy little guy continue to eat.
After harvesting the basket of corn, the uncle drove the tractor again and continued the tour with them.
