Chapter 0072: A Farmhouse Feast
There is no conclusion on the matter of planting rare ingredients for the time being, Wen Yanran only mentioned it in passing, and Kang Mingsong didn't think much about it for a while, mainly because he still has to make lunch now.
In Kang Mingsong's family, there is really no one who has better cooking skills than him, his parents, second sister and second brother-in-law are all at the level of being able to do it, but they have nothing to do with cooking skills. That is, the eldest sister has opened a restaurant in recent years, and her cooking skills are not bad, but she is not at home, so Kang Mingsong's skills are quite good.
Today, Wen Yanran, a distinguished guest, came to the door, and they all chose to start very wisely. Father Kang Dazhi is killing chickens and cleaning them, mother Xiu Chengyan is in front of the stove and doing the work of burning the fire; the second sister Kang Minghui is chopping vegetables, and the second brother-in-law is working with the second sister, he is washing vegetables and choosing vegetables.
As the main dish of today's lunch, the method of stewed chicken with morel mushrooms is very particular, and it is best to have a broth. However, time is limited now, and it is definitely too late to make dashi.
Therefore, Kang Mingsong also had to choose a simple method, he cut the old hen that Kang Dazhi had cleaned after slaughtering into pieces, blanched it in boiling water, took it out and washed it, and then put it in the pot, and instructed Xiu Chengyan to increase the firepower, skimmed off the foam on it, added morel mushrooms, and at the same time added cooking wine, salt, chicken essence, green onions, ginger slices, wolfberries, red dates and other ingredients to it, and then instructed his mother to simmer in Chengyan over medium heat, and wait until the old hen was stewed and rotten to get out of the pot.
………………
After dealing with the main dish of chicken stew with morel mushrooms, Kang Mingsong turned his attention to other dishes.
Kang Mingsong didn't plan to cook too many dishes, firstly, because he was in a hurry, and secondly, because Wen Yanran came too suddenly, and there were not many dishes prepared at home, so he could only cook the dishes that were ready at home at any time.
Kang Mingsong only made two other meat dishes, one fried old bacon with green peppers, and one fried sausage with garlic sprouts. The old bacon is the old bacon smoked at home, which is specially smoked with cypress branches, and it is particularly fragrant when fried. The sausages are also made at home, without any additives, and the taste is extremely pure.
In addition, Kang Mingsong also made a few cold vegetable platters, home-grown, of course, authentic and superb vegetables cultivated by super breeders, and when the chopsticks are not moved, the smell alone makes people drool. One shoots cucumber strips, one pickles pepper cabbage, and the last one is a tomato that is simply cut into slices and then packed on a plate, without even adding a little white sugar, pure natural taste, without adding extra seasoning, making people feel the charm of the best vegetables.
The stew of the main dish of morel mushroom stewed chicken is indeed a bit time-consuming, Kang Mingsong made all the other dishes and set them on the table, and when he looked at it again, he found that the heat was still not there, so he had to continue to stew in the pot.
Seeing that the time was nearly twelve o'clock, Kang Mingsong beckoned Wen Yanran and said, "Sister Yanran, we can eat vegetables first! The chicken soup will take about ten minutes! ”
Since Wen Yanran came to Kang Mingsong's house, she was not polite and sat down at the dining table.
Subsequently, Kang Mingsong's family also sat at the table, six people, sitting at the dining table with both sides down, which was just right.
………………
Because Kang Mingsong's family had work in the afternoon, and Wen Yanran had to drive back to the city, she didn't drink at this meal.
Before she started eating, Wen Yanran felt that the appearance of the dishes made by Kang Mingsong could only be regarded as average, although she could smell the strong aroma, but the local vegetables in the countryside were almost like this.
But after starting to eat, Wen Yanran found that the taste of these dishes was really unusual, not even worse than those chefs in Liuxian Pavilion, it seems that Kang Mingsong said that he was a twenty-year-old chef and not just bragging, but still had some real skills.
The dishes he cooked, in terms of color and flavor, are slightly worse in color.
Wen Yanran couldn't help but exclaim: "Xiaokang, is the food you eat better than the food you sold me, why is it so delicious?"
Kang Mingsong naturally knew that Wen Yanran was joking with him, so he said: "Sister Yanran, your wronged words are simply coming with your mouth open, don't you feel a pain in conscience at all? These dishes, except for bacon and sausages, are all picked by my parents from the greenhouse. ”
Wen Yanran said with a smile: "Uncle and sister-in-law, is this really the case?...... Ah, that's really wronged well-off, you are really a chef, so you can make it so delicious. If it weren't for my sister being married, I would have considered whether to marry you!"
Seeing Wen Yanran say this, Kang Dazhi and Xiu Chengyan were very happy, of course they didn't think that Wen Yanran liked their son, but their son's craftsmanship could be recognized by distinguished guests, and they were also honored, and they smiled again and again and said that Xiaowen was too polite, don't praise this kid too much, otherwise his tail will be cocked.
………………
Although Kang Mingsong was laughing, he had some loss in his heart.
This amorous woman, but the first woman who made Kang Mingsong feel excited at first sight, made him believe that there was really love at first sight in this world.
Although he has never expressed the feelings in his heart, he has the idea of what if.
Now that Wen Yanran told him in person that she was married, Kang Mingsong's heart was naturally unavoidably intensely disappointed, and even the smile on his face was a little unnatural.
Kang Mingsong is a person with a very traditional concept, and he has never had the idea that as long as the hoe is swung well, any wall can be dug down.
Therefore, he never picks up those famous flowers with the owner, no matter how delicate and beautiful those flowers are, how much it makes him happy.
In Kang Mingsong's view, the kind of third party who digs into the foot of the wall has a big moral problem.
Especially Kang Mingsong, who has just experienced the fact that he was dug up by others, and has always adhered to the principle of not doing to others what you would not do to yourself, looks down on this practice even more.
……………………
In order to hide the sense of loss in his heart, Cummingsong excused himself to see if the morel mushroom stewed chicken was good, got up and left the table, and went into the kitchen.
Five minutes later, he returned to the table with today's main course in a large soup bowl, and there was nothing unusual on his face.
Although because of the rush of time, Kang Mingsong did not boil the broth, which made this morel stewed chicken a little lacking, but he couldn't bear the good ingredients, the taste of the old hen, and the real wild morel mushroom deliciousness, so that this main dish still attracted everyone's attention, and was robbed by everyone, and even Wen Yanran, the guest, completely abandoned his reserve, and ate one by one with a mouthful of fragrance, and he couldn't stop.
