Chapter 363: Folk Chef

Seeing that these little babies were anxiously surrounding the outhouse, the car boss immediately screamed: "I don't have your share today, if I don't have any food, I will go home tomorrow." ”

The little babies are also ghosts and elves, and they all have hippie smiles: "Uncle Fat is the brightest in his work, and we have been busy for the past two days, so we have to enjoy some food." ”

"These guys are really good at sycophants, okay, let's go outside and wait first. The fat man waved his hand generously, and the little babies ran out happily.

If there are fewer people, it will seem deserted, and in the countryside, such people are generally laughed at.

The door of the outhouse was wide open, the oil in the cauldron had been turned over, and the oil smoke was directly put outside, Chef Li Er was in charge, and more than a dozen people were busy with the work.

There are a lot of oily things in the fat man's house, and there are several on the panel, all of which are rubbing bean stalks. This thing is fried with white noodles, but when mixing noodles, directly put the white sugar in the noodles, and also live oil noodles, after frying out, while it is hot, sprinkle a layer of white sugar on the outside, and then serve it directly to the outside, the colder the more crispy, and it tastes quacky.

The fat man didn't care about everyone's persuasion, he was busy with work, he mainly wanted to learn the craft, anyway, he didn't have to worry about anything, and it was uncomfortable to be idle.

A pot of bean stalks is fried, and the little babies outside have already started eating. The car boss chattered a few times from time to time: "Just eat some, take it to care how much you are full!"

Then there are the croquettes, which are divided into two kinds, one is the dry croquettes, which are relatively small, and the other is the four happy croquettes, which are called lion's heads outside the gate, and there are four in a plate, all of which are as big as a fist.

These four happy meatballs are a dish that the common people like to see, fried first and then steamed, the soup is full, so it tastes smooth but not greasy, and the taste is delicious. It is said that when the Eight-Nation Alliance entered Beijing, the Empress Dowager Cixi fled, passed by a place on the way, and ordered a "Four Seasons Ball" during dinner.

The common people are cruel to her, and they all say that such an old witch should be "finished" as soon as possible, so she renamed this four-season pill as Sixi ball, so as to homophonize the meaning of "Cixi finished", so the people are also very happy to eat.

Half a pot of minced meat had already been prepared on the side of the pot, and Chef Li Er added ingredients to it, and a few women took steamed buns and rubbed the steamed bun residue into the basin.

The fat man looked at the rarity and couldn't help but lean up: "What does this mean, we have all the pork, don't need steamed buns to make up the numbers." ”

Chef Li Er laughed: "If the croquettes are all made of meat, they will be a meat and egg when they are fried, which is not delicious, put some steamed bun residue and small rice in it, and it will be relatively soft after it is fried. ”

Tofu dregs are the slag left over from grinding tofu, which is white and flowery, and people also eat it when they were hungry in previous years. However, in the past two years, there has been enough food to eat, and the tofu residue has been used to feed the pigs.

The fat man scratched his head, and his heart was a little painted: Can this be delicious?

After the filling was adjusted, Chef Li Er took a pair of chopsticks and began to stir in the basin. Half a basin of minced meat, stirred by him like water, swirled in the basin.

"It takes at least five minutes to stir, the more you stir, the more sticky it becomes, and after it is fried, it will condense into a ball, which is soft and hard, and it is particularly strong. Chef Li Er also explained a few sentences to the fat man from time to time, his face was red and oily.

The fat man can only nod vigorously, the folk cooking skills are slightly different from the regular ones, but there are a lot of exquisiteness, and the biggest feature is that it is delicious.

The oil in the pot slowly cooled to five or six hot, and Chef Li Er began to knead the balls, wrapped them in a layer of egg batter, and then went down to the pot and fried them slowly. Because the Sixi balls are big, you can't be in a hurry, and you can fry them slowly over low heat, at least half of them.

Taking advantage of this, Chef Li Er and a few deputies were busy processing other cold dishes. There is already a cleaned pig's small intestine in the basin, and the fat and muscle are scraped down, leaving only a thin layer of casing, almost all of which are very translucent.

The principle is similar to that of blood sausage, but the raw materials in it are different, some are egg sausages, and some are chopped meat filling. The fat man is a long insight: he can pour anything into it!

There are also special skewers, no casing, wrapped in meat filling with dried tofu, square size, compacted with heavy objects first, and then steamed in a pot. Cut out and put it on the plate, the outside is the golden dried tofu skin, the inside is the fragrant filling, in the big restaurant, you can never eat these, only the local chef when the rural affairs will do these skills.

Sixi meatballs are fried until they are eight ripe, then they are fished out, and the oil is returned tomorrow, and then they can be steamed in the pot. The fat man was greedy, so he hurriedly set aside eight of them, and tasted them first.

The first night, the helpers and the kitchen staff have to eat first, one to try the chef's skills, the other to reward, tomorrow will sell all the strength, don't cheat and play tricks.

At that time, the people who came to help were doing daily work, and there was no salary, so everyone was lively and lively to eat some food together. Fat people are originally good at eating and drinking, and of course they can't let go of this opportunity.

Chef Li Er left eight large balls in the pot, and after frying them thoroughly, he steamed them in the pot after adjusting the soup. The soup of Sixi meatballs is also the most particular, and the soup stock is generally used, and the soup of boiled meat is used in rural areas, commonly known as "old soup". After this thing is cooled, it all condenses into jelly, turning from liquid to solid, and you can imagine that it is a good thing inside.

It is said that the ancient cook, when the owner hired you, you don't need to cook first, just see if you can make soup. Generally, chicken, duck, pork and ham are boiled in a pot, and then repeatedly clarified, and the final broth is clear and transparent, all of which are condensed into a trembling mass.

If the cook quits, and when he leaves, the host is willing to promise him to take a piece of broth with him, that is the greatest grace. Because the most important thing to make soup stock is to add the introduction of the previous soup.

Of course, the countryside is not so particular, but the basic principle is almost the same, the old soup is full of flavor, and when cooking soup and stir-frying, put two spoonfuls, absolutely delicious.

Finally, the fried meatballs, this is also a technical job, wash your hands, grab a handful of fillings in your hands, bend your thumb and index finger into a circle and squeeze out, and the four fingers of the other hand bend into a semicircle, scoop it at the bottom, and scoop out a round ball.

The fat man went up and tried twice, and the balls that came out were three flat and four not round, all of which were substandard products, and he was pushed aside by the car boss to cool down.

There were five or six people around the oil pot, all of whom were making meatballs, and some of them were scooped with spoons after squeezing them out, all of which were slightly inferior in technology.

Wait until there are enough balls in one pot, and then use high heat to fry them violently, and after a while, a layer of small golden round balls float on top of the oil pot, not making a squeaky sound.

When the little babies heard this, they were all jumping outside in a hurry. After fishing out a fence, the fat man was just about to reach out and taste it, but Qiqi and the little girl were quick to wrap the basin tightly.

"Be careful, it's hot. The fat man yelled vigorously behind him, and finally caught a glimpse of a gap, put his arm in, and grabbed two balls.

Put it in your mouth and chew it, it is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and there is the fragrance of beans in the meat, and you can't taste the tofu residue at all.

By the time the busy work was over, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, and the little babies outside were also satisfied to go home and sleep, and the fat man's house set up three tables, which could not be eaten, in Qiqi's words, it was to eat supper.

Because it's not a formal banquet, so you don't have to pay too much attention to it, there is a big bowl in the middle of the table, and there are two or three big balls in it.

There are all kinds of cool spells around, one plate after another, all kinds of dishes. Including Company Commander Zhao, Lin Qingshan, Ye Haibo and even Hou Jianxi, who have not often lived in the countryside, they all have to ask the same: "What is the name of this?"

The fat man poured all the wine on it, and then stood up: "Comrades have worked hard!"

Because the little babies are not there, no one cooperates and shouts "serve the people". The fat man waited for a long time with a wine glass, and finally had to say, "Let's eat!"

In a burst of laughter, everyone moved their chopsticks. Hou Jianxi and the monkey are more in love, the two are next to each other, and those who don't know think that the two brothers look similar.

This guy's chopsticks are the most cheerful, and they are noisy and delicious when he picks them up, and to be honest, he really hasn't tasted these purely folk foods.

"Boss Hou, pay attention to your image. The car boss joked with him.

Hou Jianxi picked up a ball and threw it into his mouth: "Hehe, I want to eat more, strive to grow into a fat physique as soon as possible, and then get married-fat brother, don't be anxious if you ask something, what will happen when you enter the cave room tomorrow, just your physique, don't crush my sister-in-law!"

The whole room burst into laughter, and even the older generation, such as the car boss and Captain Li, were very out of shape and coaxed.

The fat man rarely blushed once, and scratched his head for a long time: "You don't have to worry about this, just plug your mouth." After speaking, he grabbed a ball and stuffed it viciously into Hou Jianxi's mouth.

Hou Jianxi hehe Zhile: "Fat brother, I'll listen to the window root tomorrow night, I'll see which part of the house can hide people!"

It is said that in the countryside, pay attention to a haunted house, and there are also those who are not people, taking advantage of the haunted house, to hide in the house. Wait until the next day, and shout out the whole thing about the little couple in the bed, and they can be happy for several years.

Hou Jianxi joked like this, and the fat man really kept a heart: When I wait for tomorrow night, I really have to check it carefully.

It was nearly midnight after dinner, and Captain Niu was so drunk that his face was flushed: "Fatty, this chef in your village has good skills, and tomorrow I have to ask my mother's family to give me more money." ”

Chef Li Er's face was bright, and he waved his hand again and again: "No, no, people are from the city, and they don't pay attention to these rules." ”

The car boss scattered everyone to each house to find a stay, and the fat man also made an exception to live at home, and he had to get up early tomorrow morning to work.

Lying on the kang, Hou Jianxi was still chatting with the fat man, talking and talking, but he saw that the fat man did not move. When I turned on the light, I had already fallen asleep.

Hou Jianxi was convinced: "Fat brother's heart is really big, if it were replaced by me, he would definitely be so excited that he couldn't sleep for a while." ”
