Chapter 336: Participating in a Variety Show (Part II)
"Okay, let's take a look at the task card first, what tasks are arranged~"
Bai Xue said as she urged Shangguan Lin to quickly look at the task card. What kind of task is assigned.
"I went to an orchard in the suburbs, and there were some free-range hens in the orchard, and the roosters were extremely delicious. We're going to go on a mission to catch one of these roosters and eat straight to a farmhouse?"
Bai Xue looked at the task on the task card in surprise, Bai Xue thought that this task was a little too simple, and it could hardly be regarded as a task at all.
"Look, there's still this specific requirement for a rooster!"
Shangguan Lin said as she pointed to a small print on the back of the card and said, "The rooster we are required to catch must be very young, with plump hair and shiny, bright and very loud crook~"
Shangguan Lin and Bai Xue felt that the tasks on this mission card were a little too simple.
As everyone knows, this task seems simple, but it is difficult to do, these are all later words.
After Ding He and Zheng Mengyuan left on the front foot, Bai Xue and Shangguan Lin had already followed the prompts on the task card and rushed directly to an orchard in the suburbs, and the orchard they rushed to was the same orchard.
"Hello old man, we have heard that you are able to make a very delicious dish with fresh fruit. ”
Ding He and Zheng Mengyuan smiled at the old man very politely as they spoke, saluted, and then said, "I took the liberty to come here today just to be able to taste these good dishes of yours." ”
The staff of the program team have communicated with the elderly before this, and the elderly will usually make their own dishes for some guests who come to visit.
So after knowing the intention of Ding He and Zheng Mengyuan, the old man did not embarrass them, but brought them a basket and asked them to go to the orchard in person to choose the fruits they like to eat.
Ding He and Zheng Mengyuan looked at it, in the huge orchard in front of them, a lot of fruits were planted at random, seemingly random but actually carefully arranged, because every inch of land use is very reasonable, and the distinction of each kind of fruit tree is in accordance with a reasonable layout.
The old man's fruit is planted with some oranges, oranges, apples and the like.
Some even do not conform to the climate, the old man specially made a greenhouse in the greenhouse, in which a lot of fruits in the greenhouse are planted. Although it is not in accordance with the season, the old man follows the principle of imitating nature, so the fruits grown are basically no different from the fruits that grow naturally.
When this orchard looks like it is not different from the outside, after entering it, I find that there is a lot of things inside, first ordinary fruits, then rare fruits grown in greenhouses, and some fruits that are out of season, all kinds of fruits are really too rich.
I originally thought it was just an orchard planted at random, but I didn't expect the old man to have such ability to grow so many rich fruits.
Ding He and Zheng Mengyuan were a little dazzled, and they were trying to choose their favorite fruits and put them in the basket. Because they were worried about waste, they only chose one fruit of each kind.
Despite this, in the end, it was found that the fruit was picked a little more.
"I'm a little embarrassed, your orchard is so rich in fruit, and if you're not careful, you're going to have too much. ”
Ding He said to the old man apologetically, looking at the fruit in the basket as he spoke.
Although I tried to control the amount as much as possible, only one of each fruit, I unconsciously picked a small half basket of fruits.
"It's okay, I'll take the rest with you, and if you like something when you leave, pick some more. The fruits here are free of pesticides and are very healthy to eat. ”
As he spoke, the old man took the basket and said to Ding He and Zheng Mengyuan, "Do you two want to learn how I make dishes with fresh fruits?"
Hearing the old man's words, Ding He and Zheng Mengyuan looked at each other, then nodded, looked at the old man with a humble face, and thanked the old man for his kindness.
"Then please advise me. ”
Ding He, Zheng Mengyuan, and the old man walked into the kitchen together to learn how to make dishes from the old man.
"I think this orange is very good, it's just ripe, let's use this orange to make a fried pork rib with orange first!"
The old man said as he swept the orange in his hand.
This orange looks red with a hint of yellow inside, and yellow with red inside, which can be described as orange-red, and it looks very ripe.
"That's great, I haven't eaten orange ribs yet. ”
Zheng Mengyuan was slightly excited when she heard the name of the dish said by the old man, Zheng Mengyuan had indeed never eaten this herb pork rib, and she was very much looking forward to its taste.
So the old man first began to prepare, the ingredients needed to make vanilla pork ribs.
"Cut the ribs well, not too big, add the tender meat powder, just a little. The old man said as he sorted out the ribs.
"Squeeze the juice of two fresh oranges, usually one and a half, and pour them into the ribs. ”
The old man said as he poured the fresh orange juice with the impurities into the ribs.
"Although it hasn't been put on the pot yet, it's really tempting to look at this color!"
Ding He watched the fresh orange juice blend into the ribs and blend with each other, the color was so beautiful.
At this time, the staff also zoomed in on the camera and gave a close-up of this immature rib, especially in terms of color, although it has not yet been made, but this color is appetizing.
"Add a little peppercorn powder, ginger powder, soy sauce, starch. ”
The old man said as he began the next step.
After the ribs marinated for half an hour, the old man began to stew the ribs, and the method of stewing the ribs was no different from the normal way of making ribs.
During the waiting time, the old man told Ding He and Zheng Mengyuan some tips for making pork ribs by themselves.
"In fact, the fishy smell of pork ribs is mainly the blood in the bones, and there is basically no fishy smell when the blood is cleaned up.
To remove the fishy smell of pork ribs, in addition to being sure to sell fresh and guaranteed quality pork ribs, you only need to spend a little patience and master the four points to completely remove the fishy smell of pork ribs.
After buying the ribs, they are slowly rinsed under the faucet, which takes about 15 minutes, so that some of the smell of blood can be removed.
The second point: After the pork ribs are washed, soak them in clean water for 30 minutes, turning them several times in the middle. At this time, you can see that the water gradually turns red, the blood in the ribs bubbles out, and the color of the ribs gradually turns white.
The third point is to put an appropriate amount of water in the pot, add ginger slices and cooking wine, and after the water boils, put in the pork ribs and cook for 3-5 minutes without covering, turning halfway. At this time, you can see that there is foam overflowing from the surface of the ribs and in the bones, which is also the source of fish.
The fourth point: Blanched pork ribs are rinsed with water to remove the foam on the surface, and the pork ribs become fragrant and odorless. ”
"I didn't expect to have so much experience in making pork ribs, I was really taught, and I must follow these methods to operate again after I go back. ”
Zheng Mengyuan listened to the old man very carefully, these tips for making pork ribs, and she was very teachable about this matter.
Just when the old man told the tricks, the old man also operated like this.
In this way, after the old man had finished telling all the tricks, he waited for a while, and after about 45 minutes, the ribs were freshly cooked.
The aroma of meat and orange is subtly blended together, sweet and sour, just right.
"It's really delicious, sweet and sour, and the flavor of the meat blends together, it's so ingenious!"
After Zheng Mengyuan took a bite of pork ribs, her face was full of joy.
Ding He also picked up a mouthful of pork ribs and tasted it carefully, indeed this sweet and sour taste is completely different from the taste made with sauce. It's very fresh, this feeling is inexplicable, lingering here, and it's addictive.
The staff of the program team also zoomed in on the camera, and they were very careful and serious in filming the orange pork ribs made by the old man.
"Orange pork ribs and sugar and sour pork ribs also have a sweet and sour taste, but I prefer to use fruit in the dish, the sweet and sour taste of fruit is different from sweet and sour, no vinegar taste is strong and stimulating, only mild fruit sour and sweet taste, which makes people have an endless aftertaste. ”
Ding He ate another piece of pork ribs, remembering to taste the taste, and then told about the difference between orange pork ribs and sweet and sour pork ribs.
After hearing Ding He's comment, the old man was appreciative, but he didn't expect this young man to be able to say that Xiangcheng pork ribs are the most classic.
"Young man, you are very right, orange pork ribs and sweet and sour pork ribs are also sweet and sour tastes, but they taste completely different, but you need to put a lot of thought into making delicious orange pork ribs. ”
As he spoke, the old man looked at the orange ribs on the plate, and then said, "The orange peel should be removed from the white part, otherwise it will have a bitter taste." The orange peel must be removed from the white part before being shredded, otherwise it will have a bitter taste and affect the taste of the finished product. ”
"I see, no wonder you have to handle that orange yourself. ”
Ding He said while recalling that the old man asked him to make orange juice, but the old man first processed the oranges himself and then handed them to himself, and did not throw the oranges directly to himself.
This did not pay attention to these details, it turned out that the taste is so important, Ding He couldn't help but sigh that cooking is really a science and art.
"If you add some lime juice during cooking, the flavor will be more layered. Lime juice is relatively sour, this is added according to personal preference, if you like to eat a little sour, you can try to add some to enrich the taste level of the dish, and if you don't like it too sour, you can not add it.
Add an appropriate amount of rock sugar during cooking. Adding an appropriate amount of rock sugar is to neutralize the acid of orange juice, and white sugar can also be used instead, but rock sugar is better than white sugar, and it can make the final dish more beautiful.
The last step is to reduce the juice on high heat, so that the finished dish can taste better and the color is more beautiful. Reducing the juice over high heat can make the ribs more flavorful and brighter in color. ”
When the old man heard some of Ding He's comments, it was indeed very level, coupled with Zheng Mengyuan's satisfaction when he ate it, the old man felt great satisfaction and relief.
So without reservation, I told the secret of making this orange pork ribs, as well as the small details and experiences.
Because he was in a good mood, the old man became smaller and continued to make a dish made of fruit, but at this moment, suddenly, two panicked people broke in.
"I've finally found you, but, I'm tired of both of us......"
Shangguan Lin gasped for breath as she spoke, looking at the old man, at Ding He and Zheng Mengyuan.
It turned out that when they came, the car that Bai Xue and Shangguan Lin were riding did not send them to the orchard, but left them at a fork in the road and let them go on their own.
Shangguan Lin and Bai Xue, who were still lamenting that this task was too simple, didn't expect the program team to come to such a play, and the two had no choice but to move forward on foot, but fortunately, the distance was not too far.
In this case, the two are still very embarrassed, because both of them are road idiots.
And the reason why the program team arranged it like this was because they had inquired about it before, and the purpose of arranging such a play was to make the show more interesting. Of course, this is bitter for Bai Xue and Shangguan Lin.
"Xiaoxue, Xiaolinzi, why did you come here too?"
Ding He couldn't help but be full of curiosity when he saw this, especially seeing that the two of them looked very tired, and he was even more puzzled when he was out of breath, could it be that this was also arranged by the program team?
The old man was also very puzzled by the two young people who suddenly broke in, but when he saw these two young people, who seemed to know the young man and the girl next to him, he thought that he was recording a show today, and he understood what was going on.
"Old man, I'm really sorry to disturb you. ”
Bai Xue and Shangguan Ling realized that they were rude, so they saluted the old man very politely.
The old man was an extremely hospitable person, and he didn't take the two of them to heart about the rudeness just now, but beckoned the two of them to sit down and take a quick rest.
After resting for a while, Bai Xue and Shangguan Lin calmed down and said the task they had come to this time.
After the mission of the two of them in Qingdao, the old man suddenly showed an incomprehensible smile.
"Then you two have to be prepared to catch chickens in the orchard, which is not an easy task, especially when it comes to catching the youngest, most beautiful, and loudest rooster. ”
The old man said as he led the two of them to the orchard.
"Don't worry, old man, the two of us are fine~"
Shangguan Lin patted his chest as he spoke. Shangguan Lin felt that it was just a matter of catching a rooster and running more distances.
"Old man, is this really hard to catch?"
Sitting under the pavilion where the orchard was resting, Ding He couldn't bear to ask the old man.
"We'll know in a while~" The old man sold a pass, and did not answer Ding He's words, but looked at Bai Xue and Shangguan Lin, who were busy catching chickens.
At the same time, Zheng Mengyuan and Ding He also looked at the two of them, only to see them looking for roosters everywhere.
