Tang Qian could finally breathe a sigh of relief, she thought, now she is finally in the mood to really think about the dishes for Zhuang Shize's birthday banquet.

Tomorrow is Zhuang Shize's birthday party, Tang Qian discussed with Zhuang Shize to go to his house today to let him try the dishes, so he got up early in the morning.

The first thing to do every day is to take advantage of her mother to go to the market, quickly open the recipe and prepare the ingredients for the stall in the evening.

The ingredients are all purchased from the "recipe", and she buys the most common level of each ingredient, pepper, ginger, green onion, coriander, garlic and mung bean sprouts, which she buys the second level, and the oil is the highest grade.

The soy sauce that was rewarded to her last time when the recipe was upgraded, and the recipe also had to be sold, so she bought another one, and one was exchanged for huàn and came back for only one dollar soft sister coin.

With all the ingredients ready, she only spent two dozen pieces.

Now she has about 500 yuan in her pocket, which she only keeps for her daily expenses, and she can also be in a hurry if there is an emergency. Her money has been deposited in the card, and she has set up a stall in the past ten days, plus she went to Zhuang Shize's house to cook, and the weekly salary is about 1,000 yuan, plus the reward for going to Zhuang Shize's house to cook, the card has saved 20,000 yuan!

When she came back from Zhuang Shize's house yesterday, she went to the ATM to check, and when she saw the number, she almost couldn't help but scream excitedly!

It's only been ten days! Her old Tang family's "recipe" really saved her!

She had just finished counting the ingredients in the basin and was thinking about whether she might go with her mother to buy a refrigerator and go home today, when there was a knock on the door.

She was wondering who was so early, thinking that it was only seven o'clock when she opened the door, and as soon as the door opened, she saw Zhuang Shize in a white T-shirt and gray slacks.

The morning sun is slightly warm, the young man's sword eyebrows are like peaks, his eyes are like thick ink, and his white face seems to be a little tanned, but the outline is more distinct.

She was stunned.

Zhuang Shize laughed out two rows of little white teeth: "Morning." ”

Tang Qian came back to his senses and smiled: "Morning! I'll go with you when I'm ready to go out tonight." "Tang Qian was Zhuang Shize, this is to find her, go to his house.

Zhuang Shize smiled mysteriously and walked in: "I ate the red eggs that my grandfather boiled for me this morning, and I will try the dishes at your house today." ”

"Red eggs, aren't they only eaten on birthdays?" Tang Qian introduced Zhuang Shize into the hall and poured him a glass of cold boiled water, "Shouldn't you eat it tomorrow?"

Zhuang Shize smiled mysteriously and didn't speak, Tang Qian quickly reacted: "Actually, today is your birthday?"

Zhuang Shize took a sip of water, smiled and nodded: "The house is being arranged today, and there is a lot of noise, so I will ask you to try the dishes." ”

This is a bit unexpected, Tang Qian hasn't bought the ingredients for the trial yet, and she doesn't know that today is Zhuang Shize's birthday, and Zhuang Shize suddenly appeared again.

"I ...... That ......" Tang Qian couldn't speak.

Zhuang Shize thought that he seemed to be a little abrupt, and hurriedly said, "I...... Why don't you come back later?"

Tang Qian cried and laughed and said, "You sit down first, watch TV for a while, and I'll go and prepare." ”

Zhuang Shize regained his expressionless face, nodded solemnly, and he thought to himself, I'd better shut up, don't paint more and more black.

And then I really can't take my eyes off the TV.

The soup coriander slipped back to the kitchen and looked at the pots of ingredients - squid, rice noodles, potatoes, eggs......

She looked at the same ingredients, and it took a while to calm down, and then she had an idea in her heart.

Since today is Zhuang Shize's birthday, she must cook him a birthday dinner.

The habit of the people of Lingzhen is that there must be chickens at every festival banquet, almost to the point that there is no banquet without chickens.

She decided that today's main dish would be to make a white chopped chicken.

Tang Qian had been to the vegetable market before, and used the book imprint of his thumb to include the farmer's free-range chicken.

So she opened the recipe, found the item "chicken" in the ingredients, and clicked on-

Ordinary free-range chicken - 10 soup coins

Premium free-range chicken - 50 soup coins

Naturally stocked farmer's grain muscle tightening and walking steer - 100 soup coins

She used a dollar of soft girl coins to buy the highest-level free-range chicken.

The "recipe" is also very intimate, as soon as she bought it, a net broiler chicken that has faded its feathers appeared in the basin at hand, and there are cleaned intestines, chicken kidneys, and a bowl of chicken blood next to the broiler.

Then she bought some winter melon, a little wolfberry, jade bamboo, astragalus, and red dates to keep for the soup.

She heard the sound of football commentary coming from the living room, and turned to the door of the hall to see that Zhuang Shize was watching the replay of last night's football game.

There were a few glass skylights in the tiled roofs, and by this time the sun had already shone down, and it was leaking through the door, so she stuck her head in and said, "I'll close the door for you, so that the TV won't reflect." ”

Zhuang Shize seemed to be taken aback, and then nodded calmly.

Tang Qian closed the door and went back to the kitchen, listening to the sound of the TV in the hall, and felt that everything was very magical—for example, Zhuang Shize watching TV at her house.

She grabbed a handful of raw salt and sprinkled it into the bowl with the intestines and chicken kidneys, and rubbed it for a while to remove the smell of chicken manure from the chicken intestines and kidneys.

The chicken can not be chopped, and a whole must be left, which is one of the secrets of Lingzhen white chopping chicken to keep the chicken tender.

As soon as the whole chicken is chopped, the meat will shrink after contact with hot water, and the chicken will have a woody edge.

Tang Qian took a large pot, poured water, turned on high heat and covered it.

Lingzhen is called "White Chop Chicken" instead of "White Chop Chicken", and the surrounding Anxiang Town and villages are also called this way.

In fact, it is a white-cut chicken, which every family in Lingzhen will do.

When the water boiled, Tang Qian put the whole chicken into the boiling water, and the blisters that were still swaying fell silent.

She didn't close the lid either, and after a while the water began to boil again, she took two half-arm-long wooden chopsticks, crossed the chicken wings and lifted them vertically, and the water from the chicken belly flowed out.

She carried the chicken and controlled the water, and when it was almost over, she put the chicken in again, and gently flicked the chicken with chopsticks, so that the boiling water was poured into the belly of the chicken, which was to ensure that every part of the chicken was scalded by boiling water, otherwise it would not be cooked.

Just kept putting down the hot, and after the water boiled and lifted it back and forth three times, Tang Qian took a toothpick and gently poked the chicken thigh, and after watching the meat inside turn white, he directly lifted the chicken and put it on a large plate.

Although the hall was closed, Zhuang Shize could smell the aroma of chicken, he had only drunk a few bowls of white porridge and eaten two red eggs about an hour ago, but now he was hungry again.

In the kitchen, while the chicken was still steaming, Tang Qian swept peanut oil on the chicken's body.

The whole chicken is cooked to preserve the integrity of the chicken, the skin is tight, smooth and oily, and the peanut oil is smeared with an attractive golden color.

She put in all the ingredients she had prepared for the soup before, added a few large pieces of pork fan bones, and turned to medium-low heat to boil the soup.

Yuan Keying and Yuan Keke smelled this smell when they got up in the morning, but they couldn't help it, they didn't eat breakfast, and came directly to knock on the door of Tang Qian's house.

Tang Qian smiled when she saw the two of them, and opened two folding chairs for them to sit in the courtyard.

When Yuan Keke heard that there was a TV in the hall, he immediately wanted to go in to watch TV, so he went directly to push the door, and saw Zhuang Shize, who was watching football seriously, and shrank behind Yuan Keying in fright.

Zhuang Shize turned his head to look at the two people, his expression remained unchanged, and said, "Let's watch the football kid together, this station is broadcasting." ”

So in less than half a minute, the three people in the living room watched the cartoon, and Tang Qian felt even more amazing.

She thought silently in her heart, fortunately this steer is big enough, otherwise it would not be enough for these few people.

After the stall was opened at home, there was an additional steam stove, and Tang Qian set up another stove to cook rice, so that they would not interfere and save time.

The white-cut chicken in the kitchen exudes a strong aroma of meat, which is blown by a small breeze on a hot day, and the children around who come out to play after breakfast smell it again.

Just smelling the smell, they think of the taste of chewing chicken on the thin and fragrant skin! White-cut chicken with some special soy sauce makes the meat fragrant and tender, and then take a bite of white rice! It's really happier than the Chinese New Year!

While the adults didn't pay attention, the grandson of the sixth aunt and two other children knocked on the door of Tang Qian's house again.

So in the end, the living room of Tang Qian's house was occupied, and Zhuang Shize took the half-grown Yuan Keying and six children to watch the football boy together!

Tang Qian thought about it, set up a coal stove again, burned the stove and put it on the pot, and fried a green pepper beef.

Then I rubbed the shredded carrots, added vermicelli and cucumber shreds, and fried a vegetarian three shreds.

There are chickens and beef, but there is no seafood, so she bought Jiwei shrimp from the "recipe" and made boiled shrimp, which is convenient.

After finishing these dishes, she estimated that the chickens in the kitchen were almost dry, so she went in to cut them.

Chopping chicken is very skillful, you can't hesitate when you start and fall with a knife, you can't cut off the meat with bones, you can't saw the knife, the meat will be broken if you saw it, and it will be incomplete.

The whole chicken is first broken in the middle, the chicken leg is cut along the thigh, and then the whole chicken leg is cut out with a knife.

The bones of the chicken thighs are red, and the meat on the edge of the bones is also tender red, this layer of meat is particularly tender, and the outer layer of meat is naturally white, wrapped in thin and golden chicken skin, intact.

She quickly chopped the whole chicken into pieces and laid it out on a plate - it looked like a whole chicken squatting on the plate again!

She garnishes it with a small handful of chopped coriander on top and you're done!

She took a large bowl of sauce, poured seventy percent of light soy sauce, added minced garlic and ginger, and then dripped a circle of peanut oil, added a few drops of sesame oil, and this bowl of special sauce with the fragrance of garlic was ready.

The rice in the pot had already boiled once, and Tang Qian put a small ball of lard in it, and seeing that the water was much less, he scooped a few large spoonfuls of chicken soup from another pot into the rice pot, added a little salt, and continued to cook over low heat.

After a while, the aroma of chicken soup wafted out of the rice in the rice pot, and when the lid was lifted, the plump rice grains completely absorbed the soup, revealing a faint oil color, but not greasy.

She was about to go to the hall to bring the dining table out, but as soon as she opened the door, she saw that the round folding table was already open.

Zhuang Shize said seriously: "We have discussed, in order to prevent more people from smelling the smell, everyone eats behind closed doors in the hall." ”

The other seven nodded solemnly.

Tang Qian: "......"

It's as if there's such a thing.

Everyone swallowed saliva and set up the dishes and chopsticks, all staring at the white-cut chicken in the middle of the table, if it weren't for the soup coriander still scalding in the kitchen, everyone would have been unable to help it.

Several children were really hungry, so they took chopsticks and lit the soy sauce in the small saucer and smoked it.

The soy sauce is fragrant with garlic, and the light but not spicy aroma of sand ginger, with coriander, peanut oil and sesame oil, the salty tempeh flavor is swept away, and there is only a salty fragrance that enters the throat!

In the kitchen, the lettuce is put into the soup and scalded for a while, then scooped up, and finally added salt to taste, and when the lettuce was brought in, what he saw was a spectacular scene of people lighting soy sauce and sucking chopsticks.

She smiled and asked everyone to come over to serve the soup, Zhuang Shize silently took the soup spoon and took the job.

The soup coriander skimmed off the oil floating on the soup noodles beforehand, the chicken soup was sweet and mellow, and there was no excess oil on the surface, and the fragrance accompanied the whole way into the throat and stomach, and everyone who drank the soup couldn't help but enjoy the "ah".

The chicken fat rice grains are slippery, and the lips and teeth are fragrant after chewing, and people can't help but pick it up again and again, and it takes a big bite to the brim.

The beef is tender and tough, the lettuce is crisp and refreshing, and the three silks are just right to relieve the greasy.

White-cut chicken is the most popular, and Zhuang Shize likes to eat tender and lean chicken skin. He picked a piece of meat without chicken fat, the skin was golden and clear, and first ordered the chicken pieces with soy sauce, which flowed along the tender skin to the edges and seeped into the white chicken underneath. Then gently pick up the chicken skin with the tip of the tooth and chew it slowly, the chicken skin without oil chews the elastic teeth, full of toughness, will not be mushy when chewed, and the fragrance of the chicken quickly spreads to the entire mouth.

At this time, take another bite of chicken, the chicken meat is not firewood, light the soy sauce, set off the meat aroma just right, the meat is tender but not rotten, and the aftertaste is endless when chewing.

Zhuang Shize likes to add coriander and green onion white to the soy sauce, the sauce is fragrant with green onions, and the chicken fat will not greasy the throat.

Everyone didn't speak, their mouths were chewing on chicken and rice, and they didn't stop picking up vegetables in their hands.

Zhuang Shize also put the meat into the bowl for Tang Qian from time to time, and Tang Qian blushed and said thank you.

Zhuang Shize said in a low voice: "I thank you, this dish is obviously for my birthday, if you don't say it, I know it." ”

Yuan Keke, the little meat ball next to him, watched this brother and sister coriander bite their ears, and laughed while eating.

Everyone was eating happily, the door rang again, everyone was stunned, and the action of picking up rice and picking vegetables suddenly became faster.

Tang Qian couldn't help but smile and went to open the door, she thought that it should be her mother who came back, but she couldn't laugh as soon as the door opened.

There were two classmates she was very familiar with standing outside the door, both of whom had a very good time with Wu Jia.

Tang Qian let people into the courtyard, and the two of them looked at the "courtyard" that was only five or six square meters with disgust.

Tang Qian didn't have a good attitude, and asked directly: "What are you looking for me?"

The people in the hall didn't move, the door was not soundproof, but there was not even the sound of a TV. Tang Qian thought to herself, this must be that group of little ghosts who are still worried about the fear that others will steal the food to eat, so they turned off the TV and pretended that no one was there.

Tang Qian didn't plan to let them into the living room, the three of them stood by the living room door and talked,

The two glanced at each other, and one of them with short hair said, "That's the case, tomorrow is Zhuang Shize's birthday, do you know?"

The other round-faced man said in shock: "Oh! How do you speak! If people want to know, they must know, if they don't know, won't they not receive an invitation? When you say this, you don't want to save face for others?"

Guozi smiled very insincerely, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm talking too much." ”

Tang Qian raised her eyebrows - this is here to sing a double reed for her!

So Tang Qian was not in a hurry, nor did he speak, just looked at the two people.

After all, these two people didn't have as much experience as Tang Qian, a reborn person, and they couldn't stand it in a few seconds, and their faces were red with embarrassment.

Guozi said with a stiff neck, raising his voice to embolden himself: "That's the case! Wu Jia wants to prepare a birthday cake for Zhuang Shize, let us call you over to make it, and she will give you money." ”

The round face quickly picked it up, and the rich man snorted from his nose: "You have a lot of money, but you have to keep your mouth tight, you can't tell Zhuang Shize that you did it!
