Chapter 30 Foster Care and Departure
Turning off the power of the mixer, Li Yu took out the stirred fish paste.
Under the action of starch, the color of the fish paste becomes snow-white, the texture is extremely elastic, and there is a faint umami taste.
"The next thing is to wrap the filling," Li Yu looked at Uncle Xu and his wife, took out a small piece of fish paste, and spread it into a small cake: "Uncle Xu, come together." ”
Uncle Xu nodded, and Aunt Li each took a small piece of fish paste, and spread out the fish cake according to Li Yu's method, Huang Yuwei and the little girl also pinched two balls of fish paste, and joined in the fun.
Seeing that everyone had made the outer coat of fish balls, Li Yu took out a flat bamboo skewer, dipped a small ball of lean meat with the head of the stick, put it in the center of the fish paste, and then dripped a few drops of sesame oil.
Don't look at the sesame oil is inconspicuous, most of the "juice" series of meatballs rely on these few drops of sesame oil, which locks the water vapor in the trap, and there will be a juice splash taste when you enter the mouth.
Then he handed the bamboo skewer to Uncle Xu: "Uncle Xu, try it, the amount of filling must not be too much, otherwise it will not be able to wrap it." ”
Uncle Xu took the bamboo stick, carefully pressed Li Yu's amount, dipped a little meat in the middle of the fish paste, and saw Li Yu nodding to indicate that it was no problem, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Aunt Li, Huang Yuwei and even the little girl tried it, and after making sure that everyone's operation was correct, Li Yu took the four of them to wrap the fish balls, and asked Aunt Li to make a basin of warm water and put the wrapped fish balls into the water.
"The starch and the fish bond quickly when exposed to warm water. Li Yu pointed to the five fish balls in the water, which were slowly changing shape at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After about 10 minutes, all five fish balls were formed by temperature.
The one with the roundest body is naturally Li Yu's masterpiece, followed by the fish balls made by Uncle Xu, which is 80% close to round, followed by Aunt Li and Huang Yuwei, and the last one is, of course, the little girl.
Then everyone wrapped two rounds of fish balls, and after making up fifteen pieces, they were put into the pot and cooked together.
The fish balls cooked quickly, and it didn't take long for a large bowl of fish balls to be cooked and put into bowls.
"Wow, it looks delicious?" The little girl looked at the snow-white balls in the bowl, her little stomach screamed again, and the fishy smell of the fish was removed by the ginger shreds in the bowl, and what wafted out was a strong umami fragrance.
Li Yu distributed the spoon to the four of them, and motioned for everyone to hold a fish ball: "The fish ball has been made for a long time, everyone should enjoy the fruits of their efforts, don't burn your mouth." ”
The rest of the people nodded one after another, put the balls in front of their mouths and blew, several adults did not move much, but the little girl was very serious, puffing out her cheeks and blowing desperately on the fish balls, which was cute.
After about 20 seconds of cooling, everyone stuffed the fish balls into their mouths together.
As soon as the fish balls are entered, a stream of umami will burst out, the outer coat made of fish paste and starch, and the soft glutinous between the Q bombs, bite the outer coat, and a mellow oil and water flow out, which is a unique oil made of sesame oil and pork, followed by the filling made of lean meat, chopped into minced lean pork, without a trace of tooth feeling, the filling is chewed together with the outer coat, which is called a fresh fragrance.
A bowl of fifteen fish balls, in less than two minutes, was eaten by several people.
Aunt Li and Huang Yuwei were admiring the deliciousness of the fish balls, while Uncle Xu looked at Li Yu with a complicated face: "Xiaoyu, how can I repay you for your kindness... Otherwise, I'll write you an IOU and pay you ...... every month."
"Stop, stop," Li Yu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about money, if I really want money, next door is Jingsheng Hotel." ”
Huang Yuwei, who was on the side, also came over, and she said with a smile: "Uncle Xu, didn't I say it, Li Yu admired you and Aunt Li's behavior, so he taught you how to make fish balls, if you really want to thank him, make the fish balls bigger and help more children?"
Uncle Xu still shook his head very resolutely, and said: "These are two different things, what the two of us do, we can't let Xiaoyu bear the loss, no, no." ”
Hearing Uncle Xu's words, Li Yu had a headache and was a little relieved, the headache was that Uncle Xu was too strong, and the relief was Uncle Xu's character, he didn't help the wrong person.
The two sides froze like this for a while, Li Yu's eyes lit up, and he said: "Otherwise, Uncle Xu, let's set up a company in partnership, and the brand will be called Shucheng Fish Balls... Don't worry, listen to me, our company, all the income is used for public welfare, what do you think?"
Uncle Xu and Aunt Li looked at each other, and after a while, Uncle Xu said, "... That's a good thing, but, but..."
He scratched his hair with some annoyance, and although he couldn't tell clearly, he always felt that something was not quite right.
"Aunt Li~" Huang Yuwei winked at Li Yu a few times, took Aunt Li's hand and said: "What Li Yu said is a good thing, don't you also want to sponsor more children?
Aunt Li was obviously a little moved, and she pulled the corner of Uncle Xu's clothes: "Old Xu, look ....."
Uncle Xu's face changed for a while, and after a full minute, he looked at Li Yu with a solemn face and said, "Xiao Yu, then this matter will trouble you." ”
Finally said that Uncle Xu was moved, Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said: "No problem, but I am going to the imperial capital during this time, and there is something to do next, and we have to add up to the company..... A month, I'll come back to you in a month, you and Aunt Li can just use this time to familiarize yourself with the practice of fish balls, after all, the quality of this thing is also a selling point. ”
Uncle Xu and Aunt Li nodded heavily.
.........
"Thank you so much this time," After leaving Xu Ji Noodle Restaurant, Huang Yuwei looked at Li Yu seriously: "I promised you before, the dish of fish balls... You make an offer. ”
Li Yu turned around, looked at the girl with a delicate face, and said, "Help me raise cats for a while, three milk cats." ”
Huang Yuwei: "...... What?"
Li Yu shrugged his shoulders and said: "I adopted three milk cats a few days ago, aren't I going to go to the imperial capital, I am also going to take the little girl, let's go, the three little cats will be taken care of, I remember that you have a cat, right.....?"
Huang Yuwei's head twitched, and she opened her mouth and said: "Mouth beard!
Li Yu: "......"
"Hey, hey, advanced cat cancer, advanced cat cancer, don't care," Huang Yuwei scratched her head embarrassedly, and asked, "It's no problem to have a cat, I'll masturbate... Raising a cat is amazing! Don't you want any other reward, like money or something?"
Li Yu shook his head and said nothing, still the same sentence, some things can't be bought with money, if you really want money, why would he find such a noodle restaurant?
Under the night light, Huang Yuwei's eyes flickered, and after a while, she took the little girl's hand and said to Li Yu, "Let's go?"
"Where are you going?"
"Go to your house and get the cat. ”
