Kunshan Chapter 84 Exploring Culinary Skills
That night, Xu Huange walked out of the house and came to the kitchen of the inn. Tonight, he is going to cook a crispy chicken for Master Changbai, so that he can take it on the road tomorrow.
From afar, I saw that the kitchen was brightly lit, and there were people cooking in it, and there was a crackling sound, like the sound of pots and pans crumbling.
It's so late, who's in there?
He gently pushed open the kitchen door, and before he could take a step forward, suddenly an object flew towards him, Xu Huange didn't have time to dodge to the right, and looked at it, it was a soup spoon.
Then I heard Lin Chuyi's voice: "Ye Mu Jin! What are you doing here? Can't you see that I'm busy? If you dare to say more tonight, I will immediately tear your mouth apart and do what I say." ”
That tone is really fierce!
But seeing Lin Chuyi at a loss in the kitchen with his back on his back, he suddenly felt very funny.
"It's me, Chuyi. ”
As soon as Xu Huange's words fell, Lin Chuyi's whole body was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then he turned his head to look at Xu Huange, and said in surprise: "Huan...... Huange, why are you?"
"What are you doing here?"
"No, it's nothing...... Lin Chuyi turned around, his face was slightly red, and he put his hands behind his back like a child who had made a mistake.
Xu Huange walked over slowly, looking at the messy pots and pans on the table, it was really ...... Dog's breakfast.
A boiled black chicken was thrown into a nearby pot, and a layer of greasy yellow soup floated in the pot, which made people look at it without any appetite, and even a little disgusting.
Suddenly thought that when it came to cooking during the day, Lin Chuyi immediately took it as if he had eaten gunpowder, and it was indeed understandable.
Because she doesn't know how to cook at all! Sumire Ye Mu is right, she can really work in the kitchen all night crackling, the key is the result......
Xu Huange glanced at the blackened stewed chicken and forgot it......
It seems that the soup with the white cut of the five-grain chicken gizzard during the day should not have been made by her. But as a princess of a country, it's normal to not know how to cook.
Especially when he saw a chicken feather on her head, it was really embarrassing for him.
Xu Huange suppressed his desire to laugh, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "It turns out that you are cooking!"
"You, what are you laughing at?" Lin Chuyi asked.
Xu Huange smiled and slowly approached Lin Chuyi and raised his right hand.
He, what is he going to do?
Lin Chuyi's eyes drooped, and he lowered his head to dodge.
Xu Huange grabbed her with his left hand.
"You, what are you doing?" Lin Chuyi raised his eyes, looking at Xu Huange's deep eyes, and his cheeks began to heat again.
I saw Xu Huange lower her eyes, suddenly approached her cheek, and her breath hit her right ear, Lin Chuyi felt her whole body stiffen, and for some reason she suddenly closed her eyes.
He, he's going to ......
Lin Chuyi was in a reverie at first, when he suddenly felt a pair of hands tugging on his head.
"Look!"
When I raised my eyes again, there was a chicken feather in front of me.
Lin Chuyi almost didn't see it as a cross-eyed.
"Haha, you have a chicken feather stuck on your head, I plucked it for you. Xu Huange said with a smile.
Lin Chuyi was almost so angry that he vomited blood.
"You ......"
"What's wrong?" Xu Huange looked dazed.
Ye Mujin is right, Xu Huange doesn't understand anything.
Lin Chuyi took a deep breath and comforted himself, don't be angry with him.
"You want to learn to cook?"
Lin Chuyi raised his eyes.
"I'll teach you!"
"Huh?"
As he spoke, Xu Huange smiled and suddenly rolled up his sleeves, and reached out to pick up a pot of chicken soup next to him that had been cooked by Lin Chuyi.
"Well, what are you doing? You can't drink it!"
"I know. Xu Huange poured it out.
"Any fresh chickens?"
"In the cupboard. ”
Xu Huange opened the cupboard, and there were five large pots of slaughtered fresh chickens inside.
Xu Huange asked with a surprised face, "How many chickens are you going to cook in one night?"
"I ...... I just want to try it......" Lin Chuyi's face suddenly darkened.
It's good to want to learn, and you need to be actively encouraged.
Xu Huange immediately smiled and said, "Come, let's take two chickens out first, and I'll teach you how to make chicken soup." ”
Xu Huange and Lin Chuyi each carried a pot of chicken in one hand and put it on the kitchen table.
"You're here tonight specifically to make chicken soup?" Lin Chuyi raised his eyebrows.
"Isn't it making chicken soup, isn't Master Changbai going back to the Qing Pavilion faction tomorrow? I thought about making a crispy chicken for his old man and taking it on the road. ”
"Oh. ”
Crispy chicken? It is estimated that it is the best dish in the day.
"Come on, I'll cut these whole chickens into pieces first. This makes it easier to taste. You go to the side and boil a pot of water first. ”
"Why do you boil water?" Lin Chuyi wondered.
"Before boiling chicken broth, you have to fry it in blood to remove the smell. ”
"Oh......"
"Is there cooking wine?"
"What is cooking wine?"
Xu Huange thought that Lin Chuyi might not know, and it was possible that Yuetianji might not call this name, so he rummaged through the cupboard, and there was a can of bottles and cans with the word "wine" printed on them, which should be this.
"Why do you want wine again?" Lin Chuyi was even more puzzled.
"With hot water to remove the fish, the effect is better. Xu Huange said with a smile while cutting the chicken with a knife.
After the water boiled, Xu Huange put some chicken pieces into the pot, poured in the wine, covered the pot with a lid, and said to Lin Chuyi: "Wait a while to boil and take out the chicken pieces, I will prepare some accessories now, I will come and see what is here." ”
Lin Chuyi took out some ingredients and said, "That's usually all there is to it." ”
Xu Huange picked up the accessories, it was really ginger, wolfberry, red dates and other accessories in the sun, it seems that the pattern of the sun and the moon is really clear.
Xu Huange took out another pot from the cupboard.
"Wash the trimmings first, then put them in this pot and pour in some water, like this. Xu Huange just wanted to pour water into the pot, when a "plop" sound suddenly came from his ears.
"It's the freshly burned chicken that is boiling. Lin Chuyi suddenly shouted, and hurriedly turned around to grab the lid of the pot.
"Wait a minute!"
"Ah, it's so hot!" Lin Chuyi stopped his hand.
"Let me come!"
Xu Huange grabbed Lin Chuyi's hand with his right hand, put the pot aside with his left hand, and then immediately took Lin Chuyi's hand and soaked it in ice water.
Lin Chuyi felt that his hand was tightly held by Xu Huange's big hand, and his whole body suddenly became numb.
Xu Huange's hands are not as rough as those of people who have been practicing martial arts for many years, but they are a little soft, especially when they are in cold water, and the touch makes Lin Chuyi feel cold and very comfortable.
Lin Chuyi turned his eyes to look at Xu Huange's lowered eyes, frowning slightly, looking very serious, Lin Chuyi was fascinated.
"You're not hot, are you?" Xu Huange raised his eyes instantly.
Lin Chuyi suddenly came to his senses, returned his eyes, pulled out his hands from Xu Huange's big hands, and stammered: "No, it's okay......"
It seems to be a little close, a little ambiguous. Xu Huange's face was slightly red, and he suddenly felt embarrassed, and he also withdrew his hand from the cold water.
"It's fine if you're okay. ”
Lin Chuyi suddenly caught a glimpse of Xu Huange's hand slightly red, and pointed to Xu Huange's hand in a daze and said, "Your hands are also red......"
Xu Huange smiled slightly, shook his hand and said, "It doesn't matter if I'm a big man with rough skin and thick flesh, your little girl's skin is so tender, you can't be hurt." ”
The corners of Lin Chuyi's mouth rose slightly, and he coughed lightly.
Xu Huange suddenly felt that what he said seemed to be a little ...... So he coughed lightly, picked up the soup spoon, and scooped up all the chicken pieces in the pot.
"We put the chicken nuggets in a pot with the ingredients, pour in some water, put them on the stove and boil them for 2 hours, then add a little salt. ”
Xu Huange is very skilled.
"Oh, I see. Lin Chuyi said thoughtfully.
"It's actually quite simple. ”
Saying that, Xu Huange found another bowl, beat two eggs into it, and added a little flour, starch, salt and other accessories, and put the remaining chicken pieces into the bowl, stirring them well, and the action was very skillful.
"What are you doing here?" said Lin Chuyi with his hands behind his back and raised his eyebrows.
"Make crispy chicken for Master Changbai. ”
"Oh, you seem to be very skilled, and you're a cook in Ritianji?"
Xu Huange smiled: "Of course not, my life in Ritianji is completely different from yours, I have been living alone since I went to school, and after work, I bought a house near the company to live alone, and I can't eat takeout every day, so when I have time, I will look at the recipes and learn to cook, basically I will do it all while I do, well, I said this kind of life, I guess you don't understand it." ”
"You live alone?" Lin Chuyi immediately grasped the point.
"That's right, my parents work in the field and occasionally come to see me. ”
"Have you been living alone?" Lin Chuyi asked again.
"yes, what's wrong?" Xu Huange raised his eyes and blinked.
"Nothing. Lin Chuyi pursed his lips, and suddenly joy was in his heart.
"Ahem, you've been stirring?"
"Well, it's going to be good right away, just fry it in the oil pan again, what, do you want to learn?" Xu Huange said with a smile.
"Well, I want to learn. ”
"Why do you suddenly want to learn to cook lately? Actually, you don't have to, you are the princess of Qimen, you can just tell the imperial chef what you want to eat. Xu Huange asked.
"I ...... I just want to learn how to make it for my royal father. Lin Chuyi wouldn't admit that he wanted to make soup for someone.
"Well, the princess is filial piety, and she made it with her own hands, and your royal father must like it. ”
So Xu Huange said the steps just now, he said it very carefully, but the problem was that Lin Chuyi seemed to have been staring at his drooping eyes.
"That's it, do you understand?" Xu Huange asked as he looked at Lin Chuyi.
"Hmm!" Lin Chuyi was stunned for a moment, and immediately nodded.
Xu Huange smiled, poured some oil into the pot, and when it was hot, poured the chicken pieces into it.
After a while, a crispy aroma of deep frying came to my face.
"How is it so fragrant?" Lin Chuyi said in surprise.
"Incense? Xu Huange said with a smile.
Wait for the chicken pieces to be fried until golden, remove them, and then Xu Huange pour out the oil, add some chili peppers, peanuts and other accessories to the pot, stir-fry together, and finally put it out of the pot and put it on a plate.
"It's so fragrant!"
Lin Chuyi couldn't help but grab a piece with his hand and put it in his mouth to taste it, but was stopped by Xu Huange.
"No, it's hot, I'll come. ”
