Chapter 390, Taste Shrimp!
If you choose to travel to Fran in the summer and have not been to the night market to eat flavored shrimp, it is equivalent to a trip to Fran for nothing. Flavor shrimp can be said to be a symbol of Fran Night Market culture, and the flavor snake derived from this is also popular with the majority of foodies.
Authentic Fran shrimp is inseparable from chili peppers and perilla, and there are green peppers, red peppers, Chaotian peppers, dried chili peppers and other choices for chili peppers alone, and each night snack stall has its own unique recipe, and the flavor shrimp that Wenxi wants to make is Wen's flavor shrimp that is blended according to his own taste.
Since the taste of shrimp has the word taste, then its taste is not light, star anise, fennel, bay leaves, fragrant fruit, pepper is the most basic configuration, in the cut of green onions, ginger, garlic, garlic leaves, with bean paste, the seasoning is basically ready.
It's just that the lobster is still alive, and washing the shrimp is a trivial and tedious thing, so Wen Xi and Zhang, Chen, and Shangguan started together. And the two big crayfish are not ornaments, after a scream, Teacher Shangguan covered his bleeding fingers and took the lead in withdrawing, and then was stuffed with a small brush by Teacher Zhang.
Then Wen Xi took Zhang and Teacher Chen to the shrimp head, pick the shrimp line, and remove the internal organs, and worked for more than half an hour to slaughter all the crayfish in the tank, but the lobster in the iron basin was only about two catties.
There are five adults here, and two catties of crayfish can only taste one! So Wen Xi found a small potato, peeled it and cut it in half, and put it in the oil pan for later use; then Wen Xi also found two pieces of lotus root and a few cucumbers, and the lotus root was cut into finger-sized lotus roots; the number of cucumbers was a bit too much, and it was easy to make the taste light when all the flavored shrimp were put in it, so Wen Xi picked a cucumber and cut it into long strips, and the remaining cucumbers were crushed and added garlic cloves, aged vinegar, soy sauce, and Chaotian pepper, and their dinner had more cucumbers.
Everything is ready, Wen Xi has a pot in his left hand and a spoon in his right hand, and officially fires!
When the spice meets the hot oil, the unique aroma of the spice instantly penetrates into the mouth and nose, and then put a spoonful of bean paste, and the red seasoning is from time to time flushed with white ginger, garlic and lotus root, green onion and garlic leaves and cucumber, yellow small potatoes, mixed together is particularly beautiful.
The oil temperature was just right, the heat was just right, Wen Xi put in the washed crayfish and stir-fried, and it didn't take long for the shell of the shrimp to turn bright red.
Add water and simmer for a while, after a few minutes, Wenxi uncovers the pot, puts in the fragrant and tender perilla leaves, and after stir-frying for a while, the flavor shrimp of 7 points ↓ is officially out of the pot!
"It smells so good!"
"It looks delicious!"
The above ate the voices of Teacher Chen and Teacher Shangguan, while Teacher Zhang picked at the stubble and looked at the fat swimming fish in the aquarium, and then added a dish to Wen Xi.
"Wen Xi, the taste of shrimp is a bit heavy, Old Man Chen is not suitable to eat more, how about we add another sauerkraut fish?"
Not really, it's not a great idea, is it!
So the old man Chen personally went out and walked around the tank twice and fished out more than 2 catties of grass carp, and the poor fish was stunned by the back of the knife after jumping on the board a few times, and then he couldn't wake up again.
After all, Teacher Shangguan is still an authentic woman, and she can still kill fish, so Wen Xi concentrated on preparing the sauerkraut soup base, and when it was finished, the fish was already lying on the fish plate in the image of disembowelment.
After five minutes, all the fish in the fish plate have turned into pink fillets, and the bones and heads have been tumbling in the pot to become fish soup.
Wen Xi quickly mixed the fish fillets with fine salt, pepper, cooking wine and fish fillets, and finally added egg whites, starch, and cooking oil to evenly coat each fish fillet with egg whites and starch, and then slid it into the fish soup pot, and the fish fillets were white and floated up immediately after being fished out for later use.
After the fish was prepared, Wen Xi took another pot of hot oil, stir-fried the sauerkraut soup base, added the fish soup and boiled for ten minutes, put in the seasonings and boiled the fish fillets on high heat, seeing that the score of the sauerkraut fish stayed at 6 points↑, Wen Xi immediately turned off the heat.
"Xixi, the oil is hot, do you want to pour it directly?" said Teacher Shangguan holding a spoon, pouring oil is the most stylish.
"Let's change it to celery leaves, Mr. Zhang doesn't like to eat coriander. Wen Xi glanced in the direction of the sauerkraut fish, the green oil was all coriander, Teacher Shangguan put a spoonful of oil, and Teacher Zhang would not touch a spoonful of soup.
"Well, coriander is so delicious, I don't know why anyone doesn't like to eat coriander. Teacher Shangguan muttered quietly.
In a short time, the two dishes were ready, just waiting to be served to the table. Wen Xi and Teacher Zhang walked in front with a pot of crayfish, not that Wen Xi couldn't afford it, but that Teacher Zhang felt that he didn't help much, so he had to stand up and contribute. Fortunately, the two are about the same height, otherwise the crayfish soup would easily sway out.
Mr. Chen walked behind alone with a large pot of sauerkraut fish, and the porcelain basin was easy to conduct heat, so Mr. Chen found a large plate to serve the sauerkraut fish. Teacher Shangguan took four pairs of chopsticks and walked at the end of the model, urging Teacher Chen to hurry up.
"You should eat and have fun during the holidays!" Old Man Chen sat down contentedly and filled everyone's bowl with a spoonful of fish soup.
"Then what are we going to eat next time?" Mr. Zhang is more concerned about this, and with Wen Xi, the chef, by his side, of course, he has to think of a few delicious meals so that he will not waste them!
"We eat whatever we have in the kitchen. Teacher Chen winked mischievously. They are not familiar with the place, where can they find the vegetable market? The ingredients purchased by the program team will definitely not be bad, they just take the ready-made ingredients.
"It's a good idea, the most important thing is that Wen Xi cooks, and then we can have a meal easily, as for what to eat, it really doesn't matter. Eat, this fish soup is really good!" Old Man Chen nodded in affirmation of Teacher Chen's thoughts, and several people chatted and ate happily.
To say that the chief director is worried about his life, the program team finally has a half-day vacation, and he has to send someone to keep an eye on the students and protect the safety of the students. Everyone else went to rest, and the chief director had to stay in the editing room to sort out the footage with the others. Finally, it's dinner time, and the food is worse than not having a holiday! At least there are professional chefs in the program team to cook, and the chief director can only eat some biscuits to satisfy his hunger!
The matter of not being able to edit came to an end, and the chief director pondered that he had to start filming at night, and returned to the monitoring room of Fairy Tale Town to confirm whether the equipment was kept in a standby state, and then he was heartbroken!
The canteen of the program group is lit up!
There's a table of people eating there in the cafeteria!
At this time, who else could anyone else in Fairy Tale Town besides Wen Xi and the 4 judges have? With Wen Xi here, can they have cookies for dinner!
What's even more excessive is that Wen Xi didn't call him when he cooked! The chief director was angry and ready to call to question, but he saw an unread message lying in the mailbox, and the sender was Wen Xi!
Yes, the chief director doesn't need to look at text messages at this time, and he knows what Wen Xi is doing with his toes! He forgot to sleep and eat, and then missed the top gourmet's meal!
"I haven't heard that Wen Xi went out to buy vegetables in the afternoon, and there are not many leftovers in the back of the kitchen, otherwise there would not be only two pots on the table...... Wait, what kind of dish is that red pot?" The chief director immediately zoomed in on the screen close-up, until he saw the lobster that Wen Xi was holding in his hand!
Poof! The chief director choked! At this moment, he felt that his heart was dripping blood! Look at what he had missed! No matter what, seeing that he had a share, he could go over and drink some soup!
The chief director hurriedly ran out of the monitoring room, and everyone in the cafeteria was prevaricating about the ownership of the last crayfish.
"Wen Xi, you have worked the hardest today, this crayfish belongs to you. The potatoes and lotus root are very delicious, and there are still some in the pot, so don't waste it!" Old Man Chen spoke, Wen Xi naturally didn't dare to say anything, grabbed the crayfish and sucked the soup and shrimp paste, and then skillfully peeled the shell and ate the meat.
When the chief director entered the door, everyone had already put down their chopsticks and was meddling.
"Yo, you're eating!" The chief director walked over with a cheeky face to take a look, and the two large basins were clean, except for garlic cloves, star anise and other seasonings, only soup remained!
The chief director only felt that his mouth was trembling! Wen Xi could send a text message to ask him if he wanted to eat all the time, why didn't he think of leaving him some!
"Just finished eating!" Wen Xi wiped his fingertips seriously, he thought that the chief director had come to Xingshi to ask for guilt.
This has to start with the text message that Wen Xi sent to the chief director.
Crayfish are a luxury equivalent to a luxury car, Wen Xi swept away the crayfish in the kitchen, so he naturally had to say hello to the chief director, otherwise the master of the kitchen came back and saw that the crayfish in the tank had been eaten by them, and he had to pick up a big knife to find him a theory?
The chief director is the chief director of "Speak with Strength", and everyone and everything in the show is under the control of this chief director, and he should be able to manage the crayfish and grass carp in the back kitchen of the canteen! Although Wen Xi did not ask for the consent of the chief director, at least he also informed the chief director, and when the time came, Wen Xi could also go back with confidence.
But Wenxi didn't expect that the chief director didn't read his text messages, and even thought that he sent a text message to invite the chief director to invite crayfish, and subconsciously thought that the chief director was not good!
"Have you eaten?" Old Man Chen looked at the chief director with his teeth and asked.
The chief director was full of anger and was blocked by Mr. Chen, the old man is a grandmaster-level figure in the entertainment industry, he didn't dare not reply to the chief director!
"Ate some biscuits at four o'clock. When the chief director said this, he glanced at Wen Xi with his eyes, and he looked a little resentful.
"There were still a few steamed buns on the stove, and I ate two of them in the soup with crayfish. "Actually, Wen Xi was afraid that Old Man Chen would think that the taste of shrimp was too heavy, so he specially steamed steamed buns for the old man to clear his mouth.
"Eh, I'll go. The chief director agreed very happily, it would be good to eat some soup without crayfish, he was already hungry just by smelling it!
So Wen Xi and the others sat there and watched the chief director eat four big steamed buns with soup, Wen Xi took the initiative to clean up the tableware with a very good eye, Zhang, Chen, and Shangguan also stood up to help, and then the four of them hid in the back kitchen and laughed so much that tears came out.
There is no other reason, the crayfish basin that was scraped by the chief director with steamed bread slices is as clean as a washed basin when placed there, and the light is still reflective!
After eating the crayfish, Wen Xi and the others sat and chatted for more than half an hour, and eating some watermelon at this time was simply enjoyable! Wen Xi carried the watermelon he had received from the chief director and cut it into small pieces, and the six of them used toothpicks to eat a watermelon of about 20 catties. As the main team member, the chief director has made an indelible contribution to the alleviation of eating watermelon, and it is no exaggeration to say that the chief director has eaten at least seven or eight catties of watermelon!
"Eat my crayfish but only give me soup! I also bought the watermelon! It's a big loss! No, no, I have to eat it back!" The chief director adhered to this idea from the beginning to the end.
"Director, then let's go back and rest first!" Wen Xi and his entourage said goodbye to the chief director, and then went back to the main building to rest.
"Whew!" the chief director smiled and shook his hands, and waited for Wen Xi and the others to see the figure before quickly loosening his trouser belt, but it broke him!
"Eh, no, no, no, I have to go to the toilet to waterproof!" The chief director finally stood up, and his heavy stomach was pressed on the bladder because of gravity, and of course the bladder pressure was high!
Starting at eight o'clock, students returned to the dormitory one after another, and the number of people who went out to buy and buy was significantly lower than the number of people who went out to eat a lot of food, which can be seen from the bags carried by the students. The bags are generally reusable paper bags, while the bags for food are generally plastic bags with a plastic bag on the outside of the food bags, and the majority of students carry clinker belts.
It can be seen from this that everyone is a foodie!
The students were very happy eating, drinking and having fun during the holidays, the chief director was quite happy to eat, but the master chef of the cafeteria was very unhappy!
"Director, who the hell did this!" When the master went back to the cafeteria that night to count the ingredients and prepare the purchase list, he couldn't believe his eyes!
"That, you can buy crayfish again!" The chief director used steamed buns dipped in the soup of flavored shrimp, so it's not good to give Wen Xi out!
"Can I eat them when I buy them? I have washed these crayfish twice and raised them for two days! The mud and sand are gone, and I can make lobsters to eat tomorrow! I have to wait three days to buy a new batch, and I have to repeat the previous work, thanks to it!" The master master caught the chief director and complained about how hard his work was, and finally the chief director had no choice.
"You just work harder, so let's do it, I can't increase my salary casually, how about adding a pound of watermelon to you every day?" The chief director remembers that Wen Xi still has several big watermelons there, and there are not many points for the master!
"I've got one less fish!"
"Two catties, no more!" The chief director turned around and left without hesitation, and he was addicted to bargaining one by one? How could he, as a chief director, even lose his prestige!
