Chapter 178: Stock
"Cabbage?" Zhu Kun looked at her in disbelief and pointed to a basket on the ground next to the table. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "This kind of cabbage?"
"Ah, yes, yes, that's it. "Then the boss was blocked tightly by Zhu Kun's thick and fat body, and Rao is Jiang Ying's eyes were sharp, and he didn't even notice it.
"What kind of delicacies can be made with this kind of ingredient?" Zhu Kun couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw that she really wanted cabbage. "I'll think you're looking for something rare. ”
For this cooking competition with Zhu Kun, Jiang Ying had only three points in her heart before, and she had full confidence when she heard Zhu Kun's two words.
A real chef can make even the ingredients available at his fingertips delicious and heartwarming, but this Zhu Kun is afraid that he blindly pursues the rarity and fineness of the ingredients, but falls behind.
"Whether I can make it or not will have to wait until I'm done. Jiang Ying glanced at him. "In addition to this main dish as cabbage, I also need some accessories. ”
"You just mention it. "The main dish is only the lowest Chinese cabbage, what good things can you ask for the accessories?" Zhu Kun smiled contemptuously.
"I want to think about it...... I want an old hen and an old duck for more than three years, a piece of ham as long as the top one, two fine ribs of the pig, eight taels of hoof tendons, and six taels of fine pork loin, beef tenderloin, and chicken breast respectively, and a good pork chop stuffing to be fat and thin, two catties, and a handful of fine chives. ”
Jiang Ying thought about it, and finally added another sentence. "Oh, and I want a two-foot-tall clay pot. Is there something wrong with these things?"
Although there were many of these things she asked for later, they were not rare, and Zhu Kun naturally would not refuse, and raised her chin to signal to one of the apprentices beside her.
"What she wants, go and bring it to her. ”
What is she going to do with these things?
Lying on the window on the second floor, looking down with interest, Mo Tian couldn't help but guess.
The food he had eaten was by no means less, but with cabbage as the main dish, he still needed to use these things, and he really couldn't think of what she was going to do.
The apprentice answered and ran away, and in a short time brought up all the things she had requested.
"You can do it first, I'll go get the ingredients I want to use, and it won't hurt to let you go for a while. Zhu Kun glanced at the ingredients on the table in front of her, and his contempt was even stronger, and he ignored her and left.
Jiang Ying was not angry, she washed her hands with water first, and then touched and sniffed the ingredients that Zhu Kun ordered to give her - they were really the best of the ingredients she wanted, it seemed that Zhu Kun did not mean to play tricks, at least not in the ingredients given to her.
If you have a big family, you have a big business.
Jiang Ying flattened her mouth, sniffed deeply at the salty and delicious smell above the fine piece of ham, and then began to process the ingredients.
In front of so many people, there must not be much time for her to boil the broth with the whole chicken and duck, so she can only chop the chicken and duck into small pieces, although there will be a certain loss in taste, but the speed will be much faster.
Skillfully chopping all the chicken and duck ribs into pieces less than a finger size with a boning knife, cutting the ham into three-quarters slices, and then throwing these things into the clay pot and adding water to stew, she no longer cared about the clay pot.
She was tinkering with the broth, and Zhu Kun on the other side had already taken what she wanted to use and came back. Jiang Ying curiously glanced at the basket in his hand, she had never seen any of the ingredients.
That's a bit of a shame......
Jiang Ying rubbed her face secretly, flattened her mouth, stopped looking at Zhu Kun, dragged a small stool and sat on the side, and began to break the cabbage leaves gracefully.
Compared to Zhu Kun's hot but methodical process, she seemed to be much more idle - after breaking the cabbage leaves, chopping the shallots and the rest of the ham finely, she had nothing to do.
After all, the "two cabbages" she wants to make all depend on the broth in the clay pot, and the soup has not been boiled out, so she really has nothing to do.
Taking the time to glance at Jiang Ying's kitchen counter, Zhu Kun regretted more and more that he agreed to compete with her. It's been more than half an hour, and there is only a bowl of chopped green onions and a bowl of chopped ham on her kitchen counter.
But fortunately, there are more and more onlookers, and showing his superb cooking skills in this large court, it can be regarded as a live advertisement for Yue Gelou.
Although it is said that Yue Gelou's fame in Moonfire City does not need this kind of advertising.
When Zhu Kun's side was about to enter the finishing stage, Jiang Ying sniffed carefully and stood up.
The soup stock in the clay pot tastes pretty much the same.
"Don't you think it's a little late to start doing it now?"
Seeing that she had just gotten up and was about to do it, Zhu Kun sneered coldly.
"It's never too late to make a good dish, doesn't Chef Zhu understand this truth?" Jiang Ying glanced at him and didn't care.
Opening the lid of the clay pot, Jiang Ying carefully scooped up all the soup ingredients with a spoon, and then added the three lean meat fillings that she wanted to bring before to mix into a meat paste and pour them into the boiling broth.
The aroma of the stock, which was already very attractive, was boiled again with the addition of the meat batter, and the aroma overflowed was much more mellow than before. The people who were originally watching near Zhu Kun's kitchen table smelled this aroma, and many of them actually gathered back to Jiang Ying's side.
Not only the people near the kitchen counter, but even the ink on the second floor could smell the rich and fresh smell under careful distinction.
Isn't it just a soup, why does it smell so tempting?
Unhurriedly, the minced meat that had been cooked tightly and absorbed the impurities in the original broth was cleaned up little by little with a colander, and the color of the broth in the clay pot had become very golden and bright.
Jiang Ying scooped a spoonful of the broth and put it in a small porcelain bowl to try the taste, but before she could bring the bowl to her mouth, she heard a very loud swallowing sound from the nearest demon cultivator.
She raised her head in some confusion, and the demon cultivator who swallowed saliva couldn't help but blush--what could he do, he was also desperate! This soup smelled really good!
"I'll finish it in a while, I'll give you some of this soup, he probably won't want it anyway. Jiang Ying nodded at Zhu Kun, and the demon cultivator quickly nodded a few times in agreement.
She gently sipped the broth in the small bowl, although the time was really a little rushed, but she was still very satisfied with the taste - also thanks to the fact that the ingredients given to her by Zhu Kun were indeed good enough.
Scooping out a large bowl of soup stock that had been completely processed, Jiang Ying took out a small brocade box from the storage ring, and after opening it, a round ice-blue bead was lying in it obediently, and there was still a slight chill on the bead.
One of the most important tastes in the "two cabbages" depends on this bead.
