Nineteen, halfway out of the way to bite the gold

One

Before you know it, it's time to cook at noon. Lan Xiaohua asked Zhang Jiayong to watch TV in the living room and go to the kitchen to cook by herself.

Lan Xiaohua first simmered the rice in a rice cooker.

Lan Xiaohua is going to make braised pork first, men, they all love meat, especially braised pork.

She prepared ingredients such as pork belly, star anise, bay leaves, green onions, ginger slices, white sugar, salt, soy sauce, rice wine, rock sugar, and peanut oil. First, cut the pork belly into 2.5 cm square pieces, pot it under cold water, boil the meat pieces for 5 minutes, remove them, control the moisture and set aside.

Put the wok on the heat, pour in a little oil, stir-fry the star anise, pour in the caster sugar, and stir-fry the sugar. Stir-fry until slightly yellow, the sugar melts thoroughly, fry until slightly colored, then add the meat pieces and stir-fry, and fry the meat pieces until the water is drained, the color is translucent, and the surface is slightly yellow.

After the meat begins to produce oil, cook the rice wine, pour in the soy sauce, stir-fry, fry until the rice wine volatilizes, the soy sauce is evenly adsorbed on the meat pieces, fry the meat evenly, pour boiling water into the pot, the water is level with the meat pieces, and then put in the green onions, ginger slices, and bay leaves.

Finally, put in the rock sugar, cover the pot, simmer for 30-40 minutes over low heat, after the meat is cooked, pick out the green onions, ginger, star anise, bay leaves, put a little salt, and then use the fire to collect the juice, the soup is cleaned, and it is out of the pot.

When collecting the juice, by the way, the excess oil is decanted out and left for other purposes, Lan Xiaohua feels that this oil tastes very fragrant, can be stir-fried, and can also be used for other purposes.

The braised pork made with heart has the following characteristics: bright red color, fragrant taste, soft and smooth, fat but not greasy.

Salt is used to find flavor, blue flowers feel too sweet, put less salt, soy sauce is very salty, then you can't put more salt.

Braised pork, the finished product tastes, salty with slightly sweet is appropriate, too sweet or too salty is not good.

Lan Xiaohua put a few pieces of braised pork in a small bowl and kept them for the afternoon, and the rest of the braised pork was served out.

Then make a cold cucumber

Blue Flower takes two cucumbers from the refrigerator and cuts them into strips: 5-6 cm long and 1-1.5 cm wide.

Prepared: 1 clove of garlic, salad oil, salt, white vinegar, sugar, monosodium glutamate.

Pour a small amount of oil into the pot, when it is hot, put in the garlic paste, immediately add an appropriate amount of salt, sugar, white vinegar, stir-fry a few times, wait for the seasonings to dissolve, and then add a small amount of monosodium glutamate, because it is a cold dish, wait for the seasoning in the pot to cool, and then pour it on the cucumber that has been cut, then drip on the sesame oil, mix well, and start to serve.

Lan Xiaohua usually likes to eat cucumbers, cucumbers are a good thing, good quality and low price.

Cucumber is a fruit and vegetable that can be anti-tumor: cucurbitacin C contained in cucumber has the effect of improving human immune function and can achieve the purpose of anti-tumor. In addition, it can also treat chronic hepatitis.

It can also be anti-aging: old cucumber is rich in vitamin E, which can play a role in prolonging life and anti-aging, cucumber enzyme in cucumber has strong biological activity, which can effectively promote human metabolism, many women like to rub the skin with cucumber juice, which has the effect of emollient skin and wrinkles.

Cucumber can also prevent alcoholism: alanine, arginine and glutamine contained in cucumber have a certain adjuvant therapeutic effect on liver patients, especially for patients with alcoholic cirrhosis, and can prevent alcoholism, which is a very good appetizer.

Cucumber can also lower blood sugar: glucoside, fructose, etc. contained in cucumber do not participate in the usual sugar metabolism, so diabetics use cucumber instead of starchy food to satisfy hunger, blood sugar will not only not rise, but even decrease.

Cucumbers can also lose weight and strengthen the body: the propanolic acid contained in cucumbers inhibits the conversion of sugars into fat.

In addition, the cellulose in cucumber has a certain effect on promoting the elimination of putrid substances in the human intestine and lowering cholesterol, which can strengthen the body.

Two

Stir-fried shredded potatoes again.

Lan Xiaohua knows: The highest level of fried shredded potatoes is - "soft on the outside and crispy on the inside".

First of all, the knife work should be good, the thickness is uneven, which will naturally affect the taste, and even the uneven raw and cooked pot; the heat of the pot should be well mastered to ensure that the "hot pan and cold oil" do not stick to the pan. The second is the heat, if the frying time is too long, it will cause the shredded potatoes to have a "noodle" feeling, and even simply return to the era of starch thickening, on the contrary, the fried time is too short, and the potatoes still have a "jerky" feeling. In addition, don't use too many seasonings to fry this thing, light soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar are necessary, and the accessories can have green onions.

"Do you eat chili peppers?" Lan Xiaohua asked Zhang Jiayong loudly across the kitchen.

Zhang Jiayong's trachea is not good, and he generally does not eat chili peppers: "I don't eat chili peppers. ”

Lan Xiaohua: "Oh, then don't put peppers, put some peppercorns." ”

Vinegar is essential for sautéing shredded potatoes, which not only increases the crispiness of shredded potatoes, but also reduces the amount of salt.

Also, with light soy sauce, don't put salt, light soy sauce has a salty and umami taste, but also adds a light, appetizing color to the dish.

Lan Xiaohua took out a large potato and prepared a few pieces of shredded green onions, 3 grams of sugar, 5 grams of light soy sauce, 3 grams of rice vinegar, and 5 grams of chicken powder.

Peel and slice the potatoes to prevent the shredded potatoes from being thick and fine, and fine and coarse, cut them in one go, and before frying, rinse the water two or three times to wash away the excess starch and soak them in clean water for a while.

Heat the pot, put oil, the so-called "hot pot cold oil", fry peppercorns, fry green onions, put potatoes, put vinegar, then light soy sauce, chicken powder, out of the pot, a plate of delicate shredded potatoes is ready, and it is served to the table.

When the rice is ready, cook a tomato and egg soup

Take out a tomato, wash and remove the roots, and cut it into 0.5 cm thick slices with a top knife. Crack the eggs into a bowl and stir well and set aside. Coriander minced. Put about 250 grams of water in a pot, add the chopped tomato slices, add salt, chicken powder, pepper, bring to a boil over high heat, and cook for about 1 minute. Then use 10 grams of water starch to form a thin thickener, sprinkle with egg liquid, and burn to turn on the fire.

Lan Xiaohua took out a clean bowl, put the prepared soup into the bowl, drizzled with sesame oil, and sprinkled with coriander foam.

It's time to eat.

Zhang Jiayong looked at the table of dishes made by Lan Xiaohua and was full of praise: "I am really blessed to find you." ”

Zhang Jiayong ate the braised pork, finished the dishes, and drank the egg soup cleanly.

Seeing that Zhang Jiayong ate so fragrantly, Lan Xiaohua's heart was sweet.

Three

After lunch, Zhang Jiayong wanted to go back to the hotel to rest.

Lan Xiaohua said: "Just rest here at noon, it's so inconvenient to run around." ”

Zhang Jiayong has the habit of taking a lunch break, as the saying goes, if you don't sleep at noon, you will collapse in the afternoon. If he can't rest well at noon, Zhang Jiayong will not be able to lift his spirits when he goes to work in the afternoon, and he will be groggy all afternoon. Thinking of going to the hotel, the unit is in the designated hotel in the provincial capital, there is still some distance from Lan Xiaohua's home, it takes about half an hour to go back, and when I go back, the sleepiness has passed, I am afraid that I will not sleep well, so I acquiesced, fell on the bed in the small bedroom, and slept by myself.

Lan Xiaohua also returned to the big bedroom, but she didn't go to bed immediately, but lay on the bed and read, and after reading the book for a while, she fell asleep in a daze.

Lan Xiaohua woke up and looked at her watch, it was already half past two in the afternoon. Get up, go to the small bedroom to see, Zhang Jiayong is still sleeping, last night, Zhang Jiayong didn't sleep well all night, and now, he fell asleep.

Zhang Jiayong woke up and looked at Lan Xiaohua sitting in front of his bed, a little overwhelmed: "Look at me, why did you sleep for so long?"

Lan Xiaohua smiled: "This is your home, you can sleep as long as you want." ”

As she spoke, Lan Xiaohua took out a set of keys to her home and the electronic access card of the community, and asked Zhang Jiayong to give them.

Zhang Jiayong was a little moved all of a sudden: "You, you are so relieved of me?"

Lan Xiaohua said, "Don't worry." ”

Zhang Jiayong smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will steal things from your house?"

Lan Xiaohua also smiled: "Steal it, even I will steal it together, and move it to your house." ”

Then he said, "The key is given to you, it will be convenient for you to come in the future, our school is about to open, if you come and I am not at home, you can come in by yourself." ”

Zhang Jiayong didn't know what to say, he felt a little guilty, he knew very well in his heart that he was not the best candidate for Lan Xiaohua.

But Lan Xiaohua gave him all the keys to her house, which was equivalent to giving him her net worth and life.

This single woman, how much trust he has.

Zhang Jiayong felt very uncomfortable: How can such a good woman trust herself so much?

I secretly thought that no matter how it develops in the future, he must not hurt Lan Xiaohua, this kind and kind woman, is really persistent with him.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jiayong opened his arms and gently hugged Lan Xiaohua. He is not a show, he really doesn't have the slightest selfish distraction in his heart, Zhang Jiayong was really moved by Lan Xiaohua: the woman in front of him was so good to himself, he couldn't express his inner world in words, and he couldn't help hugging her.

Lan Xiaohua hugged Zhang Jiayong tightly, couldn't help but shed tears, and didn't let go for a long time: "Relatives, I finally waited for my sweetheart." ”

At this moment, Zhang Jiayong's phone rang.

Four

The call was from Xiao Li, the matchmaker of the love website.

Since getting in touch with Lan Xiaohua, Zhang Jiayong has never paid attention to love websites, and I don't know if anyone has contacted him on love websites.

Matchmaker Xiao Li didn't ask him and Lan Xiaohua about the recent situation on the phone this time: "Mr. Zhang, hello, I'm matchmaker Xiao Li." ”

After Zhang Jiayong and Lan Xiaohua met for the first time, Xiao Li, the matchmaker of the love website, once called and asked about their meeting, saying that the website wanted to track the service. Lan Xiaohua was annoyed, and in the future, Lan Xiaohua didn't tell the matchmaker Xiao Li about their meeting. Xiao Li called several times, but Lan Xiaohua said that she had not met again, and the matchmaker Xiao Li stopped calling.

Later, Lan Xiaohua's "VIP" service period on the love website arrived, and the matchmaker Xiao Li called her many times, hoping that she would continue to pay, saying that the second payment could be discounted, but Lan Xiaohua refused because of Zhang Jiayong.

Now, the matchmaker Xiao Li has called Zhang Jiayong again.

Zhang Jiayong thought that the matchmaker Xiao Li let him enter the "VIP" again. urged him to pay, and was ready to refuse, but unexpectedly, the matchmaker Xiao Li shouted loudly on the phone: "Mr. Zhang, congratulations, a great thing, there are really a lot of girls who like you." ”

Zhang Jiayong let go of the blue flower, went to the balcony alone, and listened to the shouting of the love website matchmaker Xiao Li.

Lan Xiaohua didn't follow, but went to the living room and watched TV by herself, but her ears were high.

Xiao Li, the matchmaker of the love website, was on the phone, her voice was very loud, and the whole room echoed with Xiao Li's enthusiastic voice, she said to Zhang Jiayong that there was a female "VIP" from Hubei who wanted to contact Zhang Jiayong, and had sent several contact signals, but Zhang Jiayong did not reply, this female "VIP", had to contact the matchmaker of the love website, and asked Xiao Li to help her contact Zhang Jiayong.

Zhang Jiayong was a little surprised when he heard the matchmaker Xiao Li say this.

What's the matter? I'm still talking to Lan Xiaohua here, why did I introduce another one?

Zhang Jiayong didn't know how to answer the matchmaker.
