Chapter Seventy-Eight, Chili Pepper (Ask for Collection!)
In the evening, Jesse came to deliver vegetables, and Nangong Caiwei handed her an apple. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In winter, apples are cool and crisp.
The two of them held one in each hand and leaned against the kitchen door.
Generally speaking, cooking has an audience and no audience, and Tang Wen's level of play is different.
When there is an audience, he will show off his amazing knife skills.
The four fish were shot to death, disemboweled, and even the scales had been scraped off. Tang Wen's dinner plan was to eat all four fish.
The knife flashed, and the hand rose and fell.
Bang, bang, bang, the head and tail of the big grass carp have been cut off.
The two women at the door gave two unconscious wows and took two steps into the kitchen. Stand closer.
Tang Wen smiled at the two of them, and pretended to be profound: "Actually, fish can also be boneless!"
Jesse opened his mouth and thought for a moment before tilting his head and asking, "Do fish have bones?"
He said it should be a fish bone. Nangong Caiwei stared at Tang Wen's hand, she usually loves fish, but like all people who love fish, she hates fish bones.
Men, when there are beautiful girls present, they always have to show off. Tang Wen explained while doing it:
"First of all, toss the flesh in half along the backbone of the fish, which is very simple! Then cut off the whole piece of flesh from the large spines on the backbone. If you feel that you can't master it, you can use a smaller knife to take it slowly..."
He said that the movements in his hands were not slow, and after a few words, the two rows of large bone spurs had been removed.
"No one will eat the big thorns in their stomachs, what about those nasty little thorns?" The question was naturally Nangong Caiwei, Jesse, an American who had never seen much of the world, was speechless in surprise when he saw Tang Wen completely cut off two thin slices of thorny meat with visible light.
"Hey, this Nangong classmate asked well. Tang Wen made a gesture of holding his glasses with his deputy, even though he didn't have glasses at all.
“... No matter what kind of fish, the color should always be darker, and the fish bones are white. A master chef of my level only needs to look at it, and it only takes a glance to know where its thorns are..."
"Can't do it!" Nangong Caiwei raised her neck and glared at him.
"I can't do it and still be so confident, really. Tang Wen shook his head and said: "The first time you do it, you can use a strong flashlight or something, generally the fish is very thin, and the meat is not too tight, it is easy to see when you take a photo...... Or you can feel it with the back of your hand, if you don't mind, you can also use your soft face..."
"Hurry up and cook!" Nangong Caiwei pulled Jesse, who was amazed by his knife skills, out of the kitchen......
Without a beautiful female audience, Tang Wen's cooking techniques have become how efficient and how to come......
Taylor and Thomas came over with a small bag of blueberries in their hands. Nangong Caiwei took it with a smile, it seems that it is applicable at home and abroad if you don't come to the door empty-handed.
"Is this fish soup?"
"Such a white soup is creamy, isn't it?" Thomas leaned over and sniffed it, and said to himself, "It's delicious." ”
In front of the five of them was a bowl of thick white fish soup, faintly revealing a few pieces of slightly yellowed tofu and a little verdant chives. Full of appearance.
The tofu is sealed and has a shelf life of more than 20 days, which is similar to the Japanese tofu commonly found in domestic Malatang restaurants. Because there is no Chinese supermarket in the town, Nangong Caiwei often stores more ingredients in the refrigerator that can be stored for a long time.
"Where did you get the bread?"
Next to each bowl of fish soup is a plate of shredded yellow-brown cakes, which exudes a faint aroma of fried flour.
"Don't you know you have a bag of flour in your kitchen?"
"You can also make cakes? No, Tang Tang's dead girl told me that she took care of you when you were a child..."
"Do you dare to believe my sister's words?" Tang Wen opened the cap of the beer bottle while provoking the relationship between Nangong Caiwei and Tang Tang. Dealing with smart people, this trick is really useful, Nangong Caiwei has already frowned and began to recall something.
"Don, what's in the middle?"
Taylor pointed to the large soup bowl on the table, which was covered with a full layer of red peppers and peppers, and there was not even a trace of fish in the dense.
"Oh! This is also a famous dish of Chinese food, called boiled fish..."Tang Wen squinted his eyes and smiled at them, poured beer for everyone, and added: "It's best to drink some beer to eat this dish!"
"Are you sure you're making fish?" said Thomas, grimacing.
Tang Wen didn't speak, Taylor replied directly with a smile: "I think Tang must have forgotten to put the fish in! This is obviously a pot of chili peppers!"
There is also a common spoon and a pair of chopsticks next to the pot of boiled fish. Nangong Caiwei stood up and took a puff of the rich fragrance of the chili pepper. I took a spoon and flicked it a little, revealing the snow-white fish fillet inside. The bright red peppers are particularly appetizing.
She served a small bowl to everyone. Then he couldn't wait to pick up two pieces and throw them into his mouth, he was only panting for hot air, but his expression was a look of enjoyment. I took a bite of the soaked cake and poured another sip of beer. She nodded with a satisfied expression: "The last time I ate such a proper chili was when I was in California, I called the chef to my house and made a meal." ”
"Is it really edible to cook so many chili peppers?" said old Taylor's face twisted slightly.
"Take a bite!" Tang Wen smiled like a bad uncle who tempted the little girl to eat candy.
Taylor and his son shook their heads together.
Luckily, there was the adventurous Jesse, and her eyes widened as she picked up her fork and slipped the slippery fillet into her mouth. After chewing for a while, he picked up another piece of ...... Then in the astonished eyes of several people, a small plate of fish was eaten up in a few clicks. She gulped down a sip of beer, licked her lips, and concluded with shiny eyes: "So Tang, you can't buy this ranch by making money from cooking?!"
"You usually eat chili peppers, too?" Tang Wen was surprised, he actually had a bit of a mischievous mentality, to see if they would be so spicy that they stuck out their tongues. All three made boiled fish, not a staple food, in fact, there was a pot of lightly flavored fish fillets in the kitchen. The spicy and numb flavor is very small.
"Is it really delicious, what does it taste like?" Thomas asked his wife.
Jesse turned to Taylor and said, "It's a thousand times better than Mexican hot sauce!"
"Oh~", "Oh..."
Taylor and Thomas no longer hesitated, picked up the fish and put it in their mouths. To Tang Wen's surprise, Taylor actually used chopsticks.
"Did Ma Ma feel like something was added? Or was it too spicy and I felt wrong?" Thomas wiped his mouth, looking very receptive to the super-spicy boiled fish fillet.
As for Taylor, he had already stood up, flexibly picked up the chopsticks and made another plate for himself, and by the way, he also turned out the bean skin and cabbage that were added as side dishes below.
"Do you know how to use chopsticks?"
"Well, it would have been a long time ago!" Taylor said after eating another chopstick, "When I was young, the first time I saw Chinese food, I couldn't believe that a billion people in the world relied on two small sticks to solve the problem of eating. Then I went home and got a pair of wood for myself and practiced it myself at home...... Later, I won a lot of money by betting with people with this hand......"
Tang Wen shook his head and smiled: "You should bet with me......"
Old Taylor nodded: "I also went to the Chinese capital a few years ago and learned about the culture there, so when I heard that you wanted to find someone to manage the ranch. I said yes without hesitation! Thanks to the other old fellows for their hesitation and ignorance...... Opportunity is given to be prepared...... Oh, it's for people who know how to use chopsticks......."
A witty remark, everyone laughed.
The reason why he said this was because Nangong Caiwei had signed a reward contract with him before. That is, the reward set for him after the ranch achieves what benefits...... This contract has made a lot of old cowboys red-eyed. They all analyzed it, and this is almost equivalent to giving money for nothing, according to the level of old Taylor......
Tang Wen miscalculated today, and no one cared about another pot of lightly flavored fish fillets after they came out. Knowing that everyone had eaten all the red soup, they dealt with this pot.
Jesse said as he ate that the most common cooking for the three of them was to take a few pieces of vegetable beef from the tortilla bought from the supermarket and eat it with hot sauce! A jar of hot sauce is enough to eat at their house for three days at most......
