Chapter 45: Cooking Skills
After returning home, Yan Songsong asked Lin Meiru to rest in her room, and no matter what, she was not allowed to go downstairs.
She put on an apron to see what ingredients were at home and simply cooked some food for her mother.
When I opened the refrigerator, it was good that there were some leftover ingredients in it, and there was a pot of cold rice. There are a few greens, tomatoes, a few raw eggs, and a piece of lean meat. Lin Meiru cooked a lot of dishes yesterday, and because there was some unpleasantness in the evening, the meals were hardly moved.
Yan Songsong glanced at the dishes and sent them all into the trash can.
Don't say she's wasting food, she's thinking about her health. According to the eating standard of the dish, ten minutes from the dish to the table is the best time to enjoy it. After more than 20 minutes to an hour, the nitrite in all dishes will exceed the limit. Some dishes are fermented by air and temperature, and even change their flavor.
Some people will say, isn't there a refrigerator? But a refrigerator is not a safe.
Especially vegetables, after overnight, many dishes contain nitrite-containing ingredients, which increase by hundreds of times. At this time, what we eat is not health, but poison. Therefore, people with poor physique eat stale dishes, which leads to diarrhea. If you eat undercooked food, you will also have diarrhea due to bacterial infection.
Yan Songsong is well aware of these truths, so he would rather eat white rice and make the simplest dishes, which is better than eating such poisonous food. Fortunately, the lean meat is placed in the fresh-keeping layer, not in the frozen layer. Some of the meat is very delicious, but if it is placed in the frozen layer, it will also seriously affect the quality of the meat after thawing. Of course, the taste of burning will be greatly reduced, which is why it is also meat, some meat is very fragrant when burned, and it is soft and delicious. Some of the meat is hard and you can't bite it.
At this time, the average family can't afford to use a refrigerator, and their family has already bought a refrigerator, which is still a sirloin brand. In addition to the power consumption is a little large, the capacity is very large, and there are many things.
In the past, when Yan Songsong was so old, she couldn't do anything, but now it's different, she can't cook except for no ingredients. As long as it's an ingredient, she can always turn it into something delicious within a few minutes of it being in her hands.
Because at that time, Zhao Jianmin often went home for dinner, they had no children, and the two-person world at dinner every day was their best time. Thinking of the past, Yan Songsong's heart felt a faint pain in his heart as if he had a secret injury.
Shaking his head and putting away the sadness in his eyes, Yan Songsong took a light breath and began to cook.
Now that she has these ingredients in her hands, it is still easy for her to cook a simple meal in a short time.
She first washed the vegetables and tomatoes with water and put them in a bamboo basket to drain them. Then cut the greens into dices and set aside.
Cut the tomatoes with a knife, divide them in half, then divide them in half, arrange them evenly one by one, and place them in a clean soup bowl.
Take out a clean small bowl and knock two eggs in it. Then he took out two bamboo chopsticks and knocked them unhurriedly.
Lin Meiru was an idle person there, and when she heard Yan Songsong personally cook for her to eat, she didn't talk about the surprise in her heart.
"Songsong, it seems that you have really grown up and can cook. Li Meiru leaned against the kitchen door, with a happy smile on her face.
"Mom, why are you coming down? Come and sit in the living room, although your legs are just right, but you can't get tired. Lin Meiru couldn't stand her, so she couldn't help but move a chair with a backrest, sit at the kitchen door, and watch Yan Songsong cook like a curious child.
"It's the first time I've seen my daughter cook, and I have to be there for me to guide me when I say anything. ”
Yan Songsong knew that her mother was not at ease, so she couldn't help but say to her. "Mom, don't worry, I can cook now. Cooking depends on the heat for three points, seasoning for five points, and two points for the quality of the ingredients. ”
"You're right. Song praise, I found that you have been making rapid progress recently, and you actually carried your mother's back to see the cooking materials, do you want to surprise your mother? ”
Yan Songsong didn't expect his mother to be so transparent, but he thought of it with her. Yes, it also saves her from making up other reasons. "yes, Mom's birthday isn't coming soon. I wanted to surprise you, but now that you're sick, I'll have to make a fool of myself in front of you. I'm talking ugly ahead, and it won't taste good, so you can't talk about me. ”
"Good. I will never say it, but you must not make it yourself, and you will not eat it yourself. The two talked and laughed, and time passed quickly.
Lin Meiru looked at her daughter's busy little figure in the kitchen, and her heart was full of emotion. My daughter seems to have woken up from this broken head and feels more sensible and more mature in her mind than before.
In the past, no matter what Yan Songsong did, she needed Lin Meiru to help her arrange it in advance, and then she followed the route designed by her mother step by step. And the current situation is that no matter what Lin Meiru does, she has to follow her daughter's steps.
She didn't know whether to be happy for her daughter, after all, she had so many changes, which were unprecedented breakthroughs. What surprised Lin Meiru the most was Yan Songsong, I don't know when she learned medical skills, and she learned to cook without a sound.
Yan Songsong has already focused on cooking. She started by dividing the emaciation into two main parts. For the part with the skin, she cut it into large T-pieces, filled a small half pot of water in an iron pot, threw the meat pieces into the water, and boiled them over high heat.
The rest of the lean meat is thinly sliced with a razor, then neatly folded and cut into shredded meat the size of a grain of rice in one go.
By the time she was on her side, the thin meat was cut into shredded meat, and the pieces of meat in the pot had already begun to tumble in the boiling water.
Yan Songsong scooped the meat pieces out of the boiling water from the colander hanging on the wall, rinsed them under cold water, washed off the foam on the meat pieces, put them on a plate, and waited to make braised pork.
On the other pot, she prepares to fry the garlic cabbage.
The greens are still relatively tender, cut them into finger lengths, and when the pot is hot, start to add oil. Most of the oil they eat now is rapeseed oil fried in small workshops, and it has a strong flavor that has not been deeply filtered. Once the oil pan is boiling, the fragrant canola oil flavor comes out. Put the crushed garlic into the oil pan and turn slightly, and immediately pour the green vegetables into the pan and stir-fry. Wait for the dish to change color, season it, and serve it immediately.
The white plate, with a green section of green vegetables in the middle, keeps coming out of the pot with a hint of heat. Before she started eating, Lin Meiru felt that she had an appetite.
About half an hour later, Yan Songsong had all the dishes alive, and shouted in his mouth: "Mom, we can start eating." As if by magic, she put two dishes, one soup, and a plate of fried rice on the table.
If it weren't for Lin Meiru sitting on the sidelines, she watched Yan Songsong standing in front of the stove, putting the same dishes in the pot and putting the same dishes on the plate. One moment he added a handful of firewood under the stove, and the other he washed an empty dish by the sink. She really couldn't believe that the dishes were made by her daughter.
There are four plates on the table, a plate of golden egg fried rice, with diced pork, small greens and eggs. The color is golden, and the rice is wrapped in eggs, which makes it look very appetizing. Garlic greens, the color is green, and the heat is just right. Then there is the fragrant braised pork that is still tumbling in the small casserole.
