"Uncle, I'll make you something to eat. Cao Lei said.

Mr. Wu smiled and asked, "What can you do deliciously?"

"Braised lion's head!" Cao Lei said.

Mr. Wu: "Your mother taught you?"

Cao Lei nodded: "But I've improved!"

Mr. Wu has some expectations: "Then I'll eat and see if the braised lion head you make has the taste of hometown." ”

Cao Lei invited Mr. Wu to sit at the curved long table and made a cup of tea for Mr. Wu. Originally, I wanted to serve ice cool, but Mr. Wu didn't like to drink ice cool.

And Cao Lei entered the kitchen and began to make "braised lion head".

"System, receive the reward!" Cao Lei said.

"Okay, the host has received the task reward - braised lion head!"

Then, an electric wave came into Cao Lei's brain, which was the experience of a chef with 30 years of experience in making "braised lion's head......

The lion's head should be soft and delicious, the meat is best chopped by yourself, another important point is on the container, it should be simmered slowly, with the casserole as the best, seven points of lean meat, three points of fatty meat, finely chopped and coarsely chopped, the size should be like a grain of rice, not too fine, so that the meat can keep a gap between the textures, in order to contain juice.

Braised lion head is an official reward of the system, not a random reward. Therefore, the raw materials and ingredients of the braised lion's head are provided by the system.

Pork: It is a free-range pig in Xiangxi.

Quail eggs: Quail eggs from Daliang Mountain, Sichuan.

Finally, breadcrumbs are also from the future.

After preparing these materials, Cao Lei washed the quail eggs in clean water, boiled them in a pot, and peeled them in cold water.

Over there, the eggs were boiled, and here, Cao Lei chopped the meat with two knives and beat the meat into a meat puree.

Putting the beaten meat puree aside, Cao Lei peeled the water chestnuts and minced them.

I brought a basin and put the meat puree into the basin, and added eggs, chopped green onions, minced water chestnuts, breadcrumbs, light soy sauce, salt, rice wine and other seasonings.

With a pair of chopsticks, whisk the contents of the basin in one direction until it is strong.

Cao Lei looked at the situation in the basin with satisfaction, put on disposable gloves, put an appropriate amount of meat filling on his hands, then put in quail eggs to make a meatball shape, and then beat the meatballs back and forth with his left and right hands a few times to make them expel the air and make them stronger.

Soon, Cao Lei made ten meatballs. He estimated that a young man could eat ten, and like Mr. Wu, six should be enough.

Once the meatballs are ready, they're ready to be cooked. Cao Lei poured oil into the pot, and when the oil was 8 percent hot, he began to put in the meatballs.

Immediately, the meatballs fried in the pan. When the meatballs are fried until golden brown on the outside. The meatballs are ready to be cooked.

Cao Lei poured out the oil in the pot, used the remaining oil in the pot, and added fried meatballs, water, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, rock sugar, rice wine, cinnamon, bay leaves, chili peppers, star anise, and salt to the pot, and boiled it until the water in the pot boiled.

When the water was boiling, Cao Lei reduced the heat and boiled it over low heat. After boiling on low heat for about 30 minutes, Cao Lei took a look, and then turned off the juice.

Cao Lei put the boiled lion's head in a bowl, and placed the blanched broccoli next to it, and poured the juice on it. At the same time, he took out another dish of yellow braised chicken rice. Loaded with a wooden plate, holding the wooden plate, he walked out of the kitchen.

"Is this about to be done?" Mr. Wu smelled the fragrance.

Cao Lei said while putting the food on the table: "Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, your nephew must have your genes, how can he be ordinary." ”

Mr. Wu smiled: "It's a dragon or a phoenix, you know after tasting it." ”

Cao Lei took out a bottle of cold beer: "Uncle, please eat, I'll go make another yellow braised chicken rice, and I'm going to eat Chinese rice too." ”

Mr. Wu nodded and began to eat.

Picking up a lion's head, Mr. Wu took a bite.

This braised lion's head has the taste of hometown, but it is much more delicious than the braised lion's head in my hometown.

When Cao Lei came out with his own meal, his eyes widened.

"Uncle, have you eaten them all? ”

Mr. Wu was overwhelmed: "I can't keep it, and I don't have the heart to stay." As soon as I started eating, I forgot to leave you a few lion heads. ”

Cao Lei hurriedly said: "It's okay, I can eat it anytime, I can make something that I still don't need to eat?" Catch up with Ming'er, I'll cook other hometown dishes for you. ”

Mr. Wu sighed and said, "I don't know if I can eat your cooking." Maybe one day it will be glorious. ”

Cao Lei hurriedly said: "Yes! You must be able to! Next time we meet, I will make you eight big bowls." ”

Mr. Wu patted Cao Lei on the shoulder: "Then you have to protect yourself! I want you to live in peace! Live until the day of our victory." ”

Cao Lei knew that Mr. Wu was worried about his safety, which made him feel warm.

At eleven o'clock, Mr. Wu left through Cao Lei's back door. Cao Lei watched Mr. Wu leave and stood at the back door for ten minutes. It wasn't until someone knocked on the front door that Cao Lei returned to the front and opened for business.

It was Chen Chu who came in, his nose twitching: "I smell the smell of food." ”

Cao Lei said: "Yes, I'm trying to make new dishes. ”

Chen Chu asked eagerly, "What dish?"

"Braised lion's head!"

"Captain, you're finally willing to cook. There was a shout at the gate.

Wang Hai and Zhou Lin walked in quickly and excitedly looked at the price list. They all know the habits of Cao's small restaurant, and they don't need to ask Cao Lei if they have new dishes, they just look at the price list. What is on it can be supplied to the outside world.

"There really is!" the fat man screamed.

On the price list, a new line of words: braised lion's head, 200 Chinese dollars a piece.

The thin man sighed, "Captain, you have increased the price again!"

Cao Lei: "Compared with beef ramen and yellow braised chicken rice, eight braised lion's heads are only 200 yuan, which is cheap." ”

Chen Chu threw out 300 yuan: "Give me two bottles of beer, a braised lion's head, and a plate of pickled chili." ”

These are just 300 yuan. Cao Lei asked, "Don't you want staple food?"

Chen Chu said: "Two bottles of beer and eight braised lion heads can't fill my stomach? ”

Everyone laughed, everyone learned from Chen Chu, and there was no staple food.
