Chapter 11: Spiced Quail Eggs
Chen Mo recalled that when he was in the countryside, he once ate a small egg.
It's quail eggs.
I still remember playing in the field with my friends, and suddenly found a nest of small eggs, covered by branches and blades of grass.
At that time, a friend shouted in fright: "This is a snake's egg, there must be a snake nearby, everyone run!"
So the friends scattered in an instant.
Chen Mo, who was bold, squatted down, looked around, and saw that there was no danger, so he took the nest of eggs home.
"Grandpa, can this nest of snake eggs hatch baby snakes? I want to raise a few baby snakes to play with. ”
At that time, Chen Mo was young and simple-minded, and he was purely influenced by the hit "White Lady" during the summer vacation.
Grandpa took the egg in Chen Mo's hand, looked at it carefully, and told Chen Mo with a smile that this nest of eggs was not a snake egg at all, but a quail egg.
When the quail eggs were cooked, Chen Mo couldn't help but stuff one into his mouth first.
That was the first time Chen Mo had eaten quail eggs, the little quail eggs were small and cute, slippery, and the taste was not bad, and the taste was even slightly better than eggs.
Grandpa looked at Chen Mo as a greedy cat, and stroked his grandson's forehead with a smile.
Although there were not many seasonings in the countryside at that time, Grandpa still made delicious tiger quail eggs for Chen Mo.
After peeling off the shell of the quail eggs, the grandfather began to pour oil from the pan, put in the boiled quail eggs after the oil was hot, fry them in the pan first, and wait until the surface of the quail eggs is golden and fished out.
Chen Mo remembers the first bite of the tiger quail eggs, it was almost beautiful, the thin golden skin like bean skin, crisp and fragrant, dipped in a little salt, the taste was simply amazing!
Thinking of this, Chen Mo couldn't help but move his mouth.
Since I already know how to make tea eggs, why not follow this tea egg recipe and make a quail egg dish?
At the same time, since it is innovation, it is necessary not only to innovate raw materials, but also to innovate practices.
Chen Mo thought for a moment and made a decision.
This decision was a bit risky, Chen Mo had never tried it before, but after being inspired by the tea egg recipe, Chen Mo felt that the quail eggs made by this would be delicious.
Before coming to the raw material cabinet, Chen Mo typed the words "quail eggs" on the panel.
I only heard the sound of "dong dong" in the cabinet, and after a while, a large basket came out of the cabinet, and Chen Mo stepped forward to take a look.
Wow, a basket full of quail eggs!
There are hundreds.
What Chen Mo decided to make was a spiced quail egg inspired by tea eggs!
Cook the quail eggs in a large pot and simmer on the heat.
Take out the quail eggs after five minutes, because the quail eggs are too small, and if you simmer for a while, you can peel them better, otherwise the quail eggs will be broken as soon as they are peeled, even if the food itself is delicious, I am afraid that diners will not be in the mood to eat.
In front of the spice rack, Chen Mo was going to be dazzled by the 120 small grids, but fortunately, these seasonings were placed in the order of pinyin, and it was not so troublesome, but the 20 special seasonings, because the names were not marked on the grids, so Chen Mo didn't know what they were, so he opened the two small grids and looked at them, and they were all empty.
Okay, the seasoning is ready and ready to start cooking.
Chen Mo took out the quail eggs that had been simmering for a while from the pot, and carefully knocked them with a small spoon until cracks appeared in the shell.
Turn the heat back on, pour the water, add the peppercorns, cinnamon, bay leaves, cumin, ginger slices, and cook for five minutes.
Unveiling the pot, accompanied by bursts of white mist, there are bursts of strong aroma.
Chen Mo scooped a little taste and couldn't help but nodded.
Find the cooking wine and soy sauce from the seasoning rack, pour an appropriate amount into the pan, and cook for another two minutes.
Add a little salt before turning off the heat, then turn off the heat and continue to simmer.
When the soup is cool, it is slightly viscous, and the quail eggs are removed.
Spiced quail eggs, success!
This is the first time Chen Mo has tried to make his own spiced quail eggs.
Five spices are taken from the aroma of five kinds of seasonings, the hemp of Sichuan pepper, the crisp of cinnamon, the fragrance of bay leaves, the spice of cumin, and the spicy ginger of ginger.
Chen Mo replaced the fragrance of tea with this five spices, and replaced eggs with quail eggs with small and smooth tastes, although it is the same as tea eggs, but it is also an innovation in raw materials and production!
This is not easy for Chen Mo, who is only an entry-level player.
But... The first time I made it, what was the taste...
Chen Mo picked up a spiced quail egg, the appearance is flawless, the color is black and bright, the pattern is uniform, the molecular kitchen utensils and even flame are used to cook, and the egg is heated evenly.
There is no problem with the form.
Knock knock.
Peel off gently.
The strong aroma immediately poured into Chen Mo's nasal cavity, this aroma was rich and domineering, completely different from the fragrance and elegance of tea eggs.
Put it in your mouth.
The five flavors immediately wound the tongue, and bursts of numbness, crispy, fragrant, spicy, and spicy constantly hit Chen Mo's taste buds repeatedly, giving Chen Mo a refreshing feeling of climbing the peak!
Very tasty!
Chen Mo is very satisfied with the creative dish he made for the first time, although the recipe of spiced quail eggs can only be regarded as a home-cooked dish in the world before Chen Mo, but this time is Chen Mo's first time after all, and it is made out of thin air without a recipe, just relying on his imagination of taste and inspiration from tea eggs, which is not simple.
Well...
Chen Mo ate six or seven in one go.
It's just a little bit close...
It seems to be a little salty.
......
Due to Chen Mo's continuous optimization of this spiced quail egg, the food house did not open at the normal time today.
Until 9 o'clock...
"Boom!"
Someone knocked on the door.
"Boss, is the door open today?"
Chen Mo, who was addicted to cooking, suddenly remembered, looked up at the wall clock, it was 9 o'clock!
"Wow"
The door was opened.
"Oh, boss, why did you sleep today? ”
"It's not easy to eat this tea egg. ”
"The Internet celebrity store on the Internet is you, you can't put on a score just because it's popular on the Internet. ”
"That is, that is, Internet celebrity stores also need to serve and have word of mouth, otherwise they won't last long. ”
......
Deep complaints from diners.
It's just that what makes Chen Mo curious is what is going on with the Internet celebrity store.
But it was too late to ask, because the diners who sat down were already screaming with hunger, and the people outside the door were black and oppressive, which made Chen Mo feel invisible pressure.
It's not easy to make money!
"Quick, boss, we want 6 tea eggs at this table. ”
"Two over here. ”
"We want four on our side. ”
Fortunately, when making quail eggs in the morning, he made two pots of tea eggs in advance, and with his previous experience, Chen Mo now always needs to prepare several pots of tea eggs in advance.
"Hey, there's a new product today!"
I don't know who shouted, the hall first exploded, and then the team outside the door also stirred.
Chen Mo glanced up at the menu strangely.
I'll go!
The system didn't say hello to itself, but had already written the dish on the menu!
New product: spiced quail eggs - 10 yuan.
