Chapter 37: When I was upset
I don't know why, I'm just upset, I don't want to work hard all day, and when it's close to the end of work, I keep looking at the clock on the computer, why is it so slow?
"When you're upset, cook well. ”
Xiaoji seemed to notice my inner struggle, and couldn't help but be nosy again.
…… The thought of potentially getting tetanus in the kitchen leaves no motivation.
"I said that it is normal to be in love and fall out of love, but it is not the state of a chef to waste time doing nothing all day. ”
What does this have to do with love? Can you tell me about it?
"Don't you just like handsome guys? So hypocritical! Why don't you dare to admit it?"
So what do I do?
"Let's study boiled noodles, how about we?"
How is it?
"That's right! There are many kinds of sand tea noodles, lo noodles, and noodle batter to eliminate loneliness!"
What if I cut my hand again? I'm just right!
"Don't worry, the little skill has been upgraded, and you're fine chopping onions now. ”
I wouldn't dare.
"Let's go! Let's get off work! Let's have a bowl of sand tea noodles today! You just think, if the handsome guy really marries you, you have to learn to cook for him......"
What the hell! Kill me and I won't like that kind of liar!
"Okay, okay, don't mention the liar!
What's the food? It's so late! Where is the good food?
"Go to the vegetable market and buy it according to your instinct!"
Well, it's okay to go out for a walk. If you can't buy it, forget it!
"A long time ago", Uncle Zhen said, the beauty of sand tea noodles is in the soup. Fresh pork bones, whole chicken, and fish head are used to make a delicious and mellow broth. One of the main ingredients of sand tea is to choose the best shrimp head, after mixing salt and marinating for more than two months, then grinding, adding shrimp paste and garlic sauce to boiling oil in order to fry thoroughly, and then adding five-spice powder, curry powder, chili powder, sesame seeds, etc. Therefore, spicy and sweet, sweet and fresh are the characteristics of the soup.
The noodles are blanched in boiling water, scooped into a bowl for later use, and then add pork liver, pork kidney, duck tendon, large intestine, fresh squid, dried tofu, fried eggs, green vegetables and other accessories as you like, and finally pour the boiling soup in the pot, and you can get out of the pot in a few minutes.
So the difficulty lies in making soup, Xiaoji, this pig brain, may not want me to eat on time.
It takes at least an hour to boil the soup alone, and where do I find the shrimp that have been marinated for two months?
"What's the matter?
What a parasite, you have to take care of everything I want!
"That's not it! Naturally you have to deal with me! You doubt my ability, this is an insult to my IQ, although Xiaoji has no IQ. ”
While I was "bickering" with it, I came to the twilight market. In fact, people who can cook are generally very picky, they want to choose the best materials, and they naturally want to pick the best and freshest when buying vegetables, so those experienced aunts and aunts get up at six or seven o'clock in the morning to buy vegetables. I don't have any hope that I can buy anything good at this time.
As I expected, many of the stalls had already started to close, and I complained about my tricks as I walked around, making a bet that I wouldn't be able to buy good raw materials.
Then, under my intuition, it was a little skill, I came to the front of an old grandmother, whose stall was very remote, hiding in the corner of the street, and the average person probably didn't notice her.
Judging from her dress, she doesn't look like a vegetable seller, with simple and neat short silver hair, pearl studs on her ears, a pearl necklace around her neck, and an agate-colored bracelet on her arm. I looked closely at her hands, which were clean and white, even though they were full of wrinkles. All in all, she sat there quietly, in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle around her, looking like the money manager of a large family.
Looking at the things she sells, it is also different from others, other families either sell vegetables, meat, aquatic products, or dry goods, but what she wants to sell is the three big vat in front of her.
The first large jar says "pickled shrimp head", the second jar says "garlic sauce", and the third jar is the other seasonings.
was hesitating whether to buy it, and Xiaoji began to urge: "Shasha, old man, I advise you to believe in immortality, love is like this, and it is the same for buying things!"
Come on, you have a string of broken codes, you know what love, I was a little worried about the quality, but I'm hungry now, and I don't choose to eat, so I'd better buy it!
"You have a hard mouth, you can clearly see and smell it, and the taste is indeed very positive!"
Yes, yes, yes!
Under its tireless chatter, I successfully bought all the ingredients at this old grandma's stall. The soup base for pigs, chickens and fish heads could only be bought in the supermarket this time, and when I returned to the base, it was already dark. Xie Lu, Qiao Li, and Uncle started the night game mode again after dinner, as usual.
Seeing my outfit, Xie Lu sighed: "Silly Bai Tian has been a little abnormal lately, and he always tortures himself by cooking." ”
Qiao Li echoed: "It's not normal, maybe there is still almost a year before Double Eleven, and she has to stack her hands a few times." ”
"Young man, play games well, people like to cook by themselves, you talk a lot. "Uncle loves to play round.
I ignored their jokes, and at first glance I just wanted to talk to me and eat by the way.
"Hey, I'm going to make sand tea noodles, raise your hand if you want it!" Sure enough, before the words fell, they collectively raised their hands.
I followed my instincts and easily prepared everything, and in between the stews, I made the sand tea and other ingredients I wanted to add extra.
An hour later, the stock was finished, the noodles began to cook, and after another ten minutes, the fragrant sand tea noodles were out of the pot.
Even though the pork bones, chicken and fish head in the stew are not the freshest, the noodles are still more delicious than I imagined, the aroma is fragrant, the soup is sweet but not greasy, I haven't eaten such delicious sand tea noodles for a long time.
The reason why it is so special is that it has nothing to do with the pickled shrimp head and garlic sauce that the old grandma sold me, I have to ask another day, how this delicious ingredient is made, I don't know if she accepts apprentices, looking at her face is not short of money, is it selling feelings?
As soon as the noodles came out of the pot, they were divided up by a few buddies who played the game, these guys with no conscience, only left me a small bowl, like me, a big stomach king who can eat and drink, although I want to lose weight every time, but I am very angry if I don't eat enough.
As always, I was again highly sought after by everyone, so beautiful that I put aside my worries and careful thoughts for the time being.
In order to make up for my loss, they contracted a series of after-dinner activities such as washing dishes and mopping the floor, and I was able to wash and watch the drama beautifully.
I had nothing to do and was about to thank Xiaoji, but I found that someone was knocking on the living room door. Who could it be at such a late hour?
