Chapter 1 Chef Li cooks

The sun was shining, and Li Xiaoming was hanging his head at this time, following behind the bouncing Xue Jin dejectedly, carrying a lot of various things in large bags.

"Alas......"

Li Xiaoming's sigh was heard by Xue Jin, who was eavesdropping with his ears pricked up in front of him, "What's wrong?"

He hurriedly raised his head and squeezed out a smile on his face: "No, no, happy, of course happy, seeing that my girl can eat and drink and happily go shopping today, I feel - youth is so good!"

Li Xiaoming snorted, intending to fool the past.

"Oh, then I heard you sigh just now. ”

"Yes? Then you heard me wrong. ”

"You say I'm wrong?" a dangerous expression appeared on Xue Jin's face.

"No, no, how could my girl be wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong......" Li Xiaoming felt that admitting at this time was the wisest choice.

"Oh...... So what are you doing wrong?"

Li Xiaoming's eyes widened in shock: "This ...... Didn't you already say that...... ......"

The more he muttered, the quieter his voice became, and looking at the increasingly dangerous smile on Xue Jin's face, he only felt a cool breath on his back rush towards his head.

"What, girl, why don't we go grocery shopping, I'll treat you with Lulu's skills tonight, and you can let the little one go!"

When Xue Jin heard this, she immediately attracted her attention: "Really, what are you going to eat?"

Li Xiaoming changed the bag in his hand, thought about it, and said with a smile: "Or, you order, I'll do it?"

Xue Jin tilted his head and frowned and thought for a while, and then said dejectedly: "I want to eat a lot, otherwise let's go to the vegetable market first, what do we see, okay?"

Li Xiaoming immediately agreed, and then the two hurriedly hailed a taxi and walked towards the house rented by Li Xiaoming.

……

"This, this, and this, I want to eat them. Xue Jin held Li Xiaoming's hand, pointed to the various meat dishes on the vegetable stall and kept talking.

Li Xiaoming bought it funny, and then when the two of them went home, Xue Jin realized why he had been laughing.

There are so many of them!

The meat alone includes pork belly, pork trotters, pork ribs, pork loin, beef brisket, chicken, chicken wings, duck meat......

Looking at Xue Jin's embarrassed little face, Li Xiaoming smiled: "Make a little today, make a little tomorrow, there are new dishes to eat every day, how good!"

Then he looked at the table full of dishes, thought about it, picked out a few things, and put the rest back in the refrigerator.

"Pig's trotters and braised beef are the most troublesome, let's make these two first, and then stir-fry some dishes when they're ready." ”

Li Xiaoming walked into the kitchen, turned out the pressure cooker, threw the front hooves of the two pigs into the pot, and then patted a piece of ginger, added water and began to stew directly.

Next, he took out about three catties of beef brisket and changed it into small pieces of one centimeter square, washed off the blood and water, and put it aside, cut a few slices of ginger, a few garlic cloves, and a green onion, and then he took out a rice bowl, grabbed a handful of peppercorns, a star anise, a cinnamon, a grass fruit, a few bay leaves, a small handful of cumin, and a handful of dried chili peppers to put away.

Pour oil into a hot pan, when the oil temperature is almost 50% hot, add the cut beef, fry the water until the beef is all discolored, pour the beef into the strainer and wash it, wash the pan again and burn the oil.

This time the oil poured was a little too much, and when the oil temperature was also fifty percent hot, the ginger, garlic and green onions were added, and then the spices were added on high heat, and then the Z County bean paste was scooped into about half a rice bowl with a small soup spoon, and stir-fried together.

When the dried chili peppers have a tendency to turn black, quickly pour in half a pot of cold water, then cover the pot and wait for the soup base to boil.

At this time, he took out a white radish from the pile of vegetables, peeled it neatly, cut it into pieces about the size of beef, and piled it on the cutting board for later use.

After waiting for about five minutes, when the soup base began to gurgle and bubble out, Li Xiaoming poured all the beef down, closed the lid and turned it into a low fire, and casually set an alarm clock for 20 minutes, Shi Shiran walked out of the kitchen.

After arguing with Xue Jin for a while, the alarm clock rang, he got up and went to the kitchen, turned off the fire of the stewed pig's trotters, and after the pressure of the pressure cooker was removed, he opened the lid, skimmed off the foam on the soup noodles, tested the softness of the pig's trotters with chopsticks, and then threw the kelp slices that had been soaked in water before, put three spoonfuls of salt into it casually, covered the lid again, and slowly stewed over low heat.

Then it's really time for free activities, the beef stew is at least 3 hours, and the pig's trotters only need to come for another 20 minutes because it is a pressure cooker, but you still have to wait for the beef to get it when the stir-fry is good, otherwise you have to go back to the pot when it's cold, and the appearance is not very good.

In fact, the dishes made by Li Xiaoming are not too complicated, the key is to master the heat that practice makes perfect, if the heat is not mastered, no matter how you make it, the dish will not be delicious.

The biggest mistake that many novices tend to make is to think that the bigger the fire, the better, and the result is that the outside is burnt and the inside is still raw, or it is easy to fry the dish black, and the appearance is not good at all.

In fact, slow work and meticulous work, many times, a relatively gentle heat is the key to the flavor of a dish, not what rare seasonings or inexplicable additives you use.

For example, some people often complain that the vegetables in the restaurant outside are brightly colored and pigmented or the like, Li Xiaoming wants to give this kind of person two big mouths every time he listens to it, how expensive the pigment is, and the ghost uses it on a plate of vegetarian dishes that don't make two heads.

Xue Jin smelled the fresh and spicy smell constantly wafting from the kitchen, and for a moment felt that his lower abdomen was already empty.

But no matter how she begged, Li Xiaoming had nothing to do about it, the beef had to be simmered slowly, otherwise it would not be delicious, if it was stewed in a pressure cooker, it would be soft, but it would destroy the chewy taste of the beef itself, and the wise man would not do it.

In the end, he really couldn't resist Xue Jin, who pouted with a small mouth, so he had to get her a double-skin milk out after the pig's trotters were stewed so that she could satisfy her hunger.

It's a pity that Li Xiaoming himself doesn't like to eat double skin milk very much, and he can only remember this thing in later generations because he thinks this thing is a little interesting, and as a result, it leads to the taste of it, which can only be regarded as average.

However, seeing Xue Jin's satisfied appearance, Li Xiaoming instantly understood in his heart.

This girl just wants to be with herself, and as for what she eats, as long as it is not unpleasant, she will feel very satisfied.
