Chapter 286: Carrot Beef Stew
Renyi initially set up a kitchenette in the orthopaedic canteen so that patients could be better cared for.
Vegetables are sold at market prices, the stove is symbolically charged a few yuan according to the size of the pot, and seasonings such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are provided free of charge, and the cleaning is also the responsibility of the doctor himself.
Many patients' family members will give a copy to the medical staff after cooking soup or porridge, and even some shy doctors will go to the small kitchen to cook while they are resting.
When the small kitchen was first set up two years ago, it was once very well received and popular, and it even required a queue to use.
But with the passage of time, the freshness of the small kitchen has gradually faded, and more and more people have realized that their cooking skills are not good.
The dishes they make in the small kitchen, which endures the heat, noisy and turbid air, are not even as good as those sold in the hospital canteen or the small restaurant in front of the hospital.
The doctors also found that after a long period of hard and tiring work, eating a meal cooked by themselves was simply worse than death.
Nowadays, except for a few aunts who insist on using a few simple side dishes to fry in the small canteen, everyone else only comes here occasionally to make soup and set an alarm clock to let the soup cook on the stove.
When Jiang Feng returned to the small kitchen after washing his hands, his aunt had already picked out the carrots from the casserole and was helping Jiang Feng wash the vegetables.
"Young man, you're back, I see that you have a lot of dishes, so I'll help you wash them by the way." "Aunt said warmly.
"Thank you, Auntie. Jiang Feng said with a smile.
Jiang Feng set his eyes on the beef on the stove.
If this pot of beef is just out of the pot, then there is still a good chance that it will be cured. But now this pot of beef has been cooked on the stove for more than an hour, Jiang Feng poked the meat with chopsticks, and the first feeling was hard.
This kind of meat is chewed in the mouth, and it is estimated that it will not be chewed until the cheeks are sour.
Coupled with the fact that the ingredients are not enough and the color has not been improved, this pot of beef is definitely a new dark dish.
The only thing that is commendable about this pot of beef may be the knife work, and the aunt is okay, and she knows the texture of the meat when she cuts it.
"Auntie, what is your surname?" Jiang Feng asked.
"My surname is Qian, what is your surname, young man?" Aunt Qian was washing mushrooms and corn, "Young man, do you want to peel this corn?"
"My surname is Jiang, I'm sorry to trouble Aunt Qian. "Jiang Feng is also welcome, someone can help cook a lot faster, although Aunt Qian's cooking skills are not good, but the level of handling ingredients is okay.
Jiang Feng picked out the large pieces of beef in the casserole, rinsed it, changed the knife to cut it small, re-added the ingredients into the pot, boiled over high heat, and simmered over low heat.
"Aunt Qian, to make carrot stew, you have to put the beef in boiling water and stir-fry, then put onions, ginger and garlic and stir-fry, if you are not sure about the amount, you can cut large pieces and put more, after the stir-fry, release the soy sauce, cooking wine, oil consumption, and stir-fry until the beef is colored. Light soy sauce and old soy sauce are the amount of a spatula, light soy sauce is full, dark soy sauce is a little less, cooking wine two spatulas are a little more, and the amount of fuel is added casually. ”
Then change the casserole, add slow cooking water until the beef in the pot is submerged, add spices such as bay leaves, fruits, peppercorns, etc., bring to a boil over high heat, and simmer over low heat, this casserole has to be simmered for about two hours. Add the carrots for the last 20 minutes, sprinkle some salt and sugar, simmer and serve. Jiang Feng told Aunt Qian how to make carrot stew.
Aunt Qian was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then said for a long time: "Xiao Jiang, you said so much, Aunt can't remember it all at once......"
Jiang Feng: ......
Also, Aunt Qian is a layman in cooking, and it is really difficult for her to challenge carrot stew at the next level.
Jiang Feng went to the kitchen table to process the pork belly, and the braised pork should also be simmered slowly, which took the most time, and he had to be the first to go to the stove, and Aunt Qian was next to him to help him peel the corn kernels.
"Aunt Qian, do you usually cook?" Jiang Feng asked as he cut the meat.
"I don't usually cook at home, I just do it, my father-in-law used to cook, and now my husband cooks. The aunt sighed, "My husband likes to eat carrot stew the most, and my father-in-law does a very good job of this dish, and he can't get tired of eating it from snacks to most." Later, he started to cook and made this dish every once in a while, and my daughter loved to eat it. ”
"You made this dish for your husband?"
"Not only that, but for my husband, father-in-law and daughter to do it together. Aunt said.
Jiang Feng's hand chopping vegetables paused, and his face was stunned.
Seeing Jiang Feng's expression, the aunt smiled: "People are unlucky to drink water and stuff their teeth, my husband drove to pick up my father-in-law and my daughter, and was rear-ended by the car behind and hit the big truck in front of me on the road." ”
Fortunately, 120 came in time, and all three people were saved. My mother-in-law is now taking care of them in the ward, and she always feels that the escort is not as well taken care of as we are, and she has to stay there all the time. ”
"My father-in-law and my daughter were lucky enough to recover well from the surgery and will be discharged from the hospital after a while. My husband is not good, he is the most seriously injured, the slowest recovery, obviously only in his 50s and not very old, but he has been repeatedly not getting better. Yesterday the doctor came to me and told me to prepare myself. ”
"The doctor said that if you are lucky, you may be able to survive, but my family has not had good luck for so many years. Driving on the road can be hit by others to a sandwich, buy a drink never won another bottle, the company's annual meeting has not even won a consolation prize. He's been unlucky for so many years, and I wish he had a little better luck this time. ”
"I asked him what he wanted to eat this morning, and he said he wanted to eat the carrot beef stew I made, and he said that he had made carrot beef stew for me for so many years, and I should make it for him again. ”
"Tell me about him, what do you want to eat, you actually want to eat my carrot beef stew, can I eat the dishes I make? I can't even fry a green vegetable. Aunt Qian said as she spoke, she could barely smile on her face, but her eyes were already unconsciously red.
"Xiao Jiang, thank you, this pot of beef will be really ruined without you helping me, wait until my husband has to laugh at me. ”
Jiang Feng turned his head to look at the beef on the stove, and suddenly felt that it was not appropriate for him to directly help Aunt Qian make carrot stew like this, and this dish should not be made by him.
"Aunt Qian, you can do it again tomorrow. Jiang Feng said.
"Huh?"
"This dish is not difficult, tomorrow I will come over to help my cousin cook, I will guide you, tomorrow I will move my mouth, you do it, you will make it." Jiang Feng said.
Aunt Qian was stunned and said, "Then I'll trouble you." ”
"It's not a hassle, it's just a matter of effort. ”
Some people eat not because of the taste, but also because of the person who cooks it.
"Xiao Jiang, I'll help you deal with this duck. ”
"Thank you, Aunt Qian. ”
"By the way, Xiao Jiang, can you wait for the steps of stewing carrots and beef stew to tell me again, I'll take a piece of paper and write it down, and I'll figure it out by myself tonight." Aunt Qian asked.
"No problem, I'll tell you again later. Jiang Feng readily agreed.
Aunt Qian really wanted to make a carrot beef stew by herself.
Make it to her lover with her own hands.
