Chapter 104: Learning

"What should I do?" Liu Mang checked the kitchen of Ting'er's house, feeling a little troubled. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The kitchen is very basic, and the cooking is done on a wood-burning earthen stove. Not to mention the seasonings, which have nothing but lard, salt and a bottle of cooking wine.

At Liu Mang's level, there is of course no problem with using these simple condiments to make delicious dishes.

But Liu Mang not only wants to make it delicious, but also wants to do what he wants in his heart, because he doesn't want to be compared to a peer.

As long as you are human, you will definitely have a competitive heart. It's like two swordsmen have met together, and they have to have a fight.

The young man had already begun to do so, and he sharpened his kitchen knife on the edge of the well, and then began to slaughter the two seven-star fish.

"Master!" Liu Mang was shocked.

As the saying goes, as soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one.

The young man's action of slaughtering the fish is not very fancy, but the knife is precise and the speed is not hurried.

This posture looks like a veteran who has been immersed in the way of cooking for many years.

"Ting'er, where is your vegetable garden, I'll pick some greens. ”

"Whew... In the garden next to the yard. ”

The little girl was also overjoyed to know that these guests were going to cook something for her.

She is a typical country girl, simple-hearted and unsuspecting.

If it is a little girl who grew up in the city, under the guidance of her parents, she will definitely not let strangers into the door easily, let alone cook.

Liu Mang walked to the vegetable garden, and there were not many vegetables in the vegetable garden, only radishes, potatoes, and red peppers.

But to Liu Mang's surprise, he found garlic, green onions, and ginger here as the three most important ingredients.

Originally, he meant to stew the old hen. But now that you have these ingredients, plus ingredients like potatoes, you can play a little tricky.

"Friend, get more green onion and ginger, I want it too. The young man shouted from afar, carrying a slaughtered fish in his hand.

"No problem. ”

Liu Mang picked the vegetables back, picked up half of the broken tiles from the corner of the yard, used it as a spatula, and peeled the skin of the dug potatoes.

The potatoes in Ting'er's vegetable patch are the kind of small potatoes, only the size of a lychee.

But these small potatoes contain more starch and taste better than those large potatoes.

After Liu Mang cleaned the green onions, ginger, and garlic, and scraped off the skin of the potatoes, the five-eyed chickens were also slaughtered and plucked clean.

Since this fat man followed Liu Mang, he has become more and more familiar with this kind of thing. It won't be long before you can try chopping vegetables and ingredients.

If you keep learning, you might even become a chef.

Liu Mang placed the hen on the board and chopped it into small pieces. Prepare to make a home-cooked dish - chicken nuggets and roasted potatoes.

The young man picked up a piece of old ginger from Liu Mang's washed ingredients and cut it into shreds.

"Are you going to steam?" asked Liu Mang.

The meat of the seven-star fish is unusually tender, and compared with other freshwater fish, the fishy smell is also very light, so it is best to use it for steaming.

But the problem is that if you steam it, you still have to season it at the end, and there is no light soy sauce and Maggi Fresh here.

"Well, as long as the steamed fish is well controlled and marinated, it is just as delicious without those seasonings. The young man put the fish on a plate and rubbed it with salt.

"What about the other one, are you going to do it separately?" Liu Mang couldn't help but ask again when he saw that the young man had only pickled one of them.

"Well, I'm going to braise this one. The young man smiled and glanced at Liu Mang.

"Yo, chicken nuggets and roasted potatoes? Yes, it's a classic home-cooked dish, but the more home-cooked it is, the more difficult it is, and there is a lack of condiments here, so it's not that simple to cook a good taste." ”

"It depends on the skill of the chef, and a good chef should learn to use local materials. The lack of condiments is not an excuse for a chef to not be able to cook. ”

Liu Mang's own kitchen god space has a lot of condiments, but he disdains to cheat, and this young man is not a fool, so as not to explain the source.

"Haha! I agree!" said the young man, giving a thumbs up.

"Will you come first, or will I come first?" asked Liu Mang.

The earthen stove in the kitchen has only one burner, so it is impossible to cook at the same time.

"My fish will be marinated for a while, and your dish will take a longer time to cook, so you can come first, and then you can serve it together." ”

"Okay, I'll fry it on the stove first, and I'll make some charcoal fire when it's simmering, and go to the yard." Liu Mang nodded and replied.

"Well, then I'll go to the courtyard and sit down. The young man smiled and went out.

Wuyan lit the fire in the stove, Liu Mang put water in the pot, boiled the chicken pieces and boiled them a little to clean the blood water.

Scoop out the water in the pot, add a large lump of lard, add garlic and ginger slices and stir-fry until fragrant, and then pour in the chicken pieces that control the moisture and stir-fry.

Young people are right, the more homely it is, the more difficult it is, especially with a braised method like this.

Without star anise, spices, and peppercorns, you can't get rid of the fishy ingredients. Without sugar and soy sauce, you can't color your dishes. However, Liu Mang already had a way in his heart.

After stir-frying the chicken pieces, add cooking wine and some water, and after simmering in the pot for a while, Liu Mang adds the potatoes and boils again.

This Luhua chicken is a small hen with tender chicken that can be cooked at the same time as potatoes. If it's an old hen, the chicken should be burned a little before the potatoes can be added.

Otherwise, if two different ingredients are simmered in the same pot, one will be rotten and the other is not cooked.

Judging the situation is also the basic skill of a chef.

"Okay!" Liu Mang scooped the chicken pieces and potatoes from the pot into a small clay urn, covered it, and prepared to go to the yard to simmer with charcoals.

"It's done, it's fast, isn't it? The young man walked in and rolled up his sleeves: "Now it's my turn." ”

When he entered the courtyard, Liu Mang saw charcoal piled up in a shed in the corner of the courtyard.

He took a little and picked up a few bricks to build a makeshift stove.

Then he asked Wuyan to go to the kitchen stove and fetch some red-hot coals, light the fire, and then set up the clay urn and began to simmer.

"Ting'er, where do you put your tea? Can you give me some?" asked Liu Mang.

"You wait. Song Ting'er ran away and quickly took some tea leaves.

"Well, that's good. Liu Mang grabbed the tea and put it under his nose and sniffed it.

The tea leaves are old tea leaves, which should be fried by the farmers themselves, and compared to ordinary green tea, the leaves are very rough and the appearance is not good. But this is exactly what Liu Mang wants.

Place the Liu Mang tea leaves in a cup and add boiling water. After letting it sit for a while, pour the brown tea into the pot.

"Boss, what does it mean to put tea in the chicken?" said Five-Eyed in surprise.

"Hehe, you don't know, this is called the mountain man has his own tricks. Liu Mang laughed.
