Chapter 35: The Wine Table
The things in the kitchen are really complete, and this year, the Zhou family entrusted Jiang Xiaolin's blessing, and they really made a lot of money. www.biquge.info She often goes to the county market to buy meat, and she buys some fresh and delicious food, and the whole table of dishes is still no problem.
Jiang Xiaolin got up to prepare dinner after taking a nap after lunch, she had to make a whole table of dishes by herself, even if there were sisters to help, it was better to act early.
Roast beef with potatoes, fried bean sprouts with leeks, pot-wrapped meat, spicy chicken, and a crucian carp and cabbage tofu soup, Jiang Xiaolin decided on the menu and began to prepare. Zhou Hui and Zhou Ping helped her wash the vegetables and peel the potatoes, and Jiang Xiaolin had already stewed the beef, which was the most time-consuming.
Watching her cook, Zhou Hui and Zhou Ping knew why they needed to do it so early. Jiang Xiaolin's stew is different from the usual stew at home, green onions, ginger and garlic in the pot, peppercorns and various spices together, and a large piece of beef rolls out of the fragrance in the oil before adding water to stew.
"Sister, it's too troublesome for you to cook......"
Zhou Ping was speechless, what she didn't say was that it was not only troublesome, but also oil, and the oil used in a dish was enough for her mother to cook a meal.
"It's a bit of a hassle, but it's definitely different, you know when you taste it. ”
Jiang Xiaolin was marinating the meat section to be used to make pot wrapped meat, and the spicy chicken was fried during the marinating time, the chicken was snow-white, the pepper was bright red, and the fried golden peanut kernels were just used to make the first appetizer.
The marinated pork loin is fried golden brown and crispy, and the oil is drained on the side. In my spare time, I just fried a leek sprouts, looked at the medium-rare beef, and threw away the potatoes to stew together.
Jiang Xiaolin stewed fish soup first fried the fish over low heat, then added water to stew, and waited until the fish soup was milky white and thick, then put down the blanched cabbage tofu, and seasoned it before it came out of the pot. The fish soup made in this way has green cabbage leaves, soft and rotten tofu, and is fragrant.
The dish is not yet fully cooked, but the person has already served it.
Yu Zhenxing didn't come, it was Yu Tielin Yu, an old man, who also brought two bottles of good wine. I heard that Yu Zhenye brought it back from outside, and this time the Zhou family invited them to drink, which made Zhou Quan very happy.
When Zhou Ping came out with the dishes, he saw that his father and Uncle Yu had already drunk the peanuts that they usually fried and played with at home.
"Dad, you drank the food before it was served, be careful that the dishes will be served for a while, but your old man is drunk and can't eat. ”
"Go, go, your dad has a good amount of wine...... This wine is good, it's okay if there are fewer dishes, you have to cook two more dishes for Uncle Yu......"
Zhou Ping rolled her eyes and left, not wanting to pay attention to these drunkards. There are a few more dishes to cook, I dare they don't see how troublesome her cousin is to cook.
Zhou Quan is also rarely happy, his son is too young, and his daughter-in-law usually keeps him from drinking, but today the ban has been lifted.
"Brother Yu, you are still blessed, your three sons are all older, and you can usually drink a few cups of cooking at home, and I will drink two times a year to relieve my hunger. ”
Yu Tielin shook his head with a smile:
"Where there is a blessing, if you don't say anything else, just say that the boss is ......" Yu Tielin sighed, "I can't stay at home for a few days a year, I'm almost thirty, and I haven't drunk a few times." ”
"Brother, Zhenye is a promising child, he did a good job in the army, and it is also the glory of your family. ”
"What is well done, that is, it doesn't let people go back......"
Yu Tielin has always felt that his son is promising, otherwise he could have become a company commander at a young age, but there is no reason to boast in front of outsiders, so he still has to be modest.
"What's the matter, what can Zhenye do...... Zhenrong Zhenxing is also a good child, without them, Zhenye is not easy to rest assured to develop outside, or how to say, brothers work together, and its profits are broken. ”
Zhou Quan has always lamented that his family Ding Buwang is not prosperous, and he is a sister in his own generation. In my son's generation, two sisters, I don't even have uncles and brothers, and I won't have anyone to help me in the future.
"Hehe, those two are working as laborers, and I look forward to waiting for them to get married and live a good life. ”
"Now the policy is good, brother, are you still ******** the land to farm?" Zhou Quan tasted the benefits of doing business and making money in the past six months, and couldn't help but puff up Yu Tielin.
Yu Tielin was silent, he didn't see the changes in the Zhou family's business, this is just a small business, at least now people have seen a difference in their lives. But his family has a heavy burden, and he has two sons who have not married a daughter-in-law, but he can't afford to toss, because he doesn't dare to act rashly.
"I'll have to think again......"
Zhou Quan also knows that it is not easy for outsiders to talk deeply about such things, there is no business that makes money and does not lose money, and people must always think about it clearly. He simply advised the wine: "Come, come, have a drink first, eat the vegetables." ”
Zhou Quan took a chopstick of chicken, and after only a few bites, his eyes lit up: "Hmm...... This is good, Xiaolin really didn't talk nonsense, there were two times. ”
"Yes, yes. "Yu Tielin ate a chopsticks of bean sprouts, which are refreshing and flexible, and very fresh in winter.
It just so happened that Zhou Ping came in with a large plate of pot-wrapped meat, and the fried meat section wrapped in sauce was bright and red, which was very gratifying.
"Pingping, your cousin's food is really good, you can take some to your Uncle Yu's house, and let your Aunt Yu taste it." ”
"No, no, they have food at home. Yu Tielin hurriedly stopped.
Zhou Ping disagreed: "Dad, wait for you to say, Sister Xiaolin has set aside every dish, and I will send it." ”
"Hehe, it's you guys who think thoughtfully......"
When Zhou Ping delivered the food to Yu's house, Yu's meal was already cooked. Aunt Yu watched a lot of dishes, so she insisted on leaving Zhou Ping at her house to eat before leaving. Zhou Ping is not a twisted character, and he has to be good with Yu Ying, thinking that going back is to deal with it in the kitchen, it is better to finish eating here.
After a few bites, I really understood my cousin's words, this dish is really good, and the restaurants in the county town don't have such a good taste.
"It's a delicious dish. ”
Yu Ying especially likes that dish of pot-wrapped meat, crispy and sweet and sour, the meat is fragrant and not greasy, and she even ate several chopsticks. Not only her, but even Aunt Yu, who has been cooking all her life, nodded and praised her again and again.
"I made it by Sister Xiaolin, it's delicious, but you don't know how troublesome it is. ”
"Really, Sister Xiaolin is so powerful, what else can't she do. Yu Ying felt incredible, how could someone be so capable and excellent at everything, "Have you learned?"
"I've learned it, but I have to do a few exercises......
Although Yu Zhenye didn't speak, he also put down several chopsticks towards the potato beef stew. He remembered the appearance of Jiang Xiaolin patting his chest at noon to ensure his craftsmanship, and couldn't help but bend his eyes, and the corners of his mouth that were chewing slowly curled, although there was still no expression, but it made people look like they were in a good mood.
Yu Lao Er Yu Lao San ate without even raising his head, and the chopsticks danced fast.
This meal was eaten to the end, and the rest was all cooked by Aunt Yu. Zhou Ping was busy cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks with Aunt Yu Ying, but Aunt Yu said that she wouldn't let her touch her hands and pushed her out of the kitchen. Yu Ying smiled at her quietly and whispered to her:
"You've taken my family's rice bowl, maybe you'll clean it up in the future. After speaking, she glanced at Yu Zhenxing, who was cleaning up the kang table, then looked at her little sister, and entered the kitchen with her mother with a smile.
Zhou Ping realized, looked at the daze, finished cleaning up the kang table, and was not knowing what to do Yu Zhenxing, her face burned uncontrollably.
