45. Boiling water cabbage

Rong Daquan glared at her: "The prince invited famous doctors for the princess, and now there are five or six famous doctors who live in the palace, I heard that the princess's condition has improved in recent years, and she can barely get some soup, but she is just hanging on to her life." ”

Meng Shuangshuang sighed after hearing this: "In this way, the prince is also very affectionate to the princess, but Princess Qi can't eat anything in the face of delicious food every day, this princess is really boring!" Ning Xi, for the sake of that prince of Qi who has also helped us a lot, you can think of a way to let the princess recover her appetite! ”

Ning Xi thought, the princess's disease, in modern terms, is anorexia, but how to treat this anorexia, she really has no idea, but over the years, King Qi has invited famous doctors, it should be possible to think of all the ways she can think of, as a chef, the only thing she can do is to start from the cooking skills and make food that can really move people's hearts.

But what exactly to do, even if her mind is full of Chinese and foreign food, is now at a loss.

Meng Shuangshuang was still looking at her expectantly: "How is it, Ning Xi, have you figured out what to do?" ”

Ning Xi smiled bitterly: "You really think I am an immortal, in the past fifteen years, how many chefs in the world have cooked for the princess?" What they can't do, can I do it alone? ”

"But I think Ningxi, you are different from the chef next to you, you will definitely be able to do it."

"How many chefs have you seen that you dare to say that I am different from everyone else? Okay, I'll try that's all. ”

At this time, someone knocked on the door: "Ning Dong's house, someone is looking for it outside." ”

Ning Xi went out to take a look, and it turned out to be Feng Zhihai: "Brother Feng, are you looking for me?" ”

Unexpectedly, Feng Zhihai knelt down with a "plop": "Miss Ning, please, you must help me with this, otherwise I really won't be able to live." ”

Frightened, Ning Xi hurriedly dragged him up: "If you have something to say, why can't you live?" ”

Feng Zhihai, a big man, cried and told Ningxi that he had promised to open a restaurant and invited him to be a cook's cousin's restaurant, the restaurant could not be opened, he had neither experience nor connections, and could not find a restaurant or restaurant willing to invite him, his mother owed a lot of money for medical treatment, and people originally saw that he had a job, and they didn't say anything, but now they saw that their family had no way to come from the silver, and one or two came to the door to force the debt.

In desperation, I thought that Ning Xi had said that I could come to her if I had a problem, so I was cheeky and came over.

Ning Xi sighed: "Okay, you can stay, with your current level, you still can't go to the stove, just help in the kitchen first and learn something!" ”

Feng Zhihai was so excited that he knelt down again and kowtowed: "Thank you, thank you, Miss Ning." ”

Ning Xi hurriedly dodged away, and the people who were used to getting along with her in Shuangxi Building knew that she hated this the most, so they pulled him up: "You have to thank the Ning Dong family, just work hard, don't kneel around at every turn in the future, the Ning Dong family doesn't like this." ”

Ning Xi thought for a while and said: "You first go to the account office to advance five taels of silver to your mother's medical treatment, and the money will be slowly deducted from your monthly money in the future, and you are not busy coming to work, take good care of your mother, and come back when she is sick!" ”

Feng Zhihai glanced up at Ning Xi suddenly, there seemed to be a flash in his eyes, his hands clenched into fists and he wanted to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything, only said: "No need, I can come to work tomorrow, my mother has a kind neighbor next door to help take care of it, and now that she has the money to ask for a doctor, she will definitely get better soon." ”

"That's okay, tomorrow when you come, go directly to the kitchen to find Chef Rong, and ask him to arrange for you what to do."

Meng Shuangshuang asked strangely: "Ning Xi, who is this person?" Why do you say stay and stay? ”

Ning Xi told her: "This is what I met when I was taking the chef exam, although my temperament is softer, but my character is still good, and my understanding in cooking is also good. ”

Meng Shuangshuang nodded and said, "That's right, I think when we first arrived in the capital, we were also unaccompanied, thanks to the help of well-wishers." ”

Ning Xi thought about it for many days, but she was still unable to finalize the dishes to participate in the food conference, think about it seriously, she is better than other chefs in this world, nothing more than good meat dishes, but the princess has not thought about eating for many years, if she makes big fish and meat, not to mention that she definitely doesn't want to eat it, even if she eats it, her stomach can't stand it, but when it comes to vegetarian dishes, in the past fifteen years, countless chefs have presented dishes to the princess, what else has not been done?

Do you want to make boiling water cabbage? It looks very light, but in fact it is hidden.

Rong Daquan said that he has participated in the food conference over the years, so he probably knows what others have done, and Ning Xi decided to make a boiling cabbage for him to taste to see if there is a chance of winning.

Boiling water cabbage, kung fu is on this "boiling water", it looks clear and transparent, like white water, but in fact it is the top soup that has been boiled with great effort. The soup on top needs chicken, pig ham and scallops, Ning Xi has tried his best to ask around, but there is really no such thing as ham in this world, and now even if it is pickled, it is too late, so he has to leave it alone, but fortunately, the scallops are still there.

The chicken is the old hen, the pig wants the pig bones, the pig spinal bones and lean meat, and the conpoy is made of dry and large ones, which are first burned with boiling water, and then put into a large clay pot, and then boiled for three hours on low heat after boiling.

The method of boiling the soup Ning Xi also taught Rong Daquan them, the most important thing is to be patient, be sure to boil on low heat, and keep the soup noodles tumbling up and down, and the splash that looks like a chrysanthemum is the best. Do not boil over high heat, and do not add water halfway, otherwise the soup will become cloudy and the original flavor will change.

After the soup is boiled, the clear soup should be refined, first skimming the fat and oil foam, adding ginger, green onion and Shao wine, boiling over a slight heat, and then adding a small amount of Sichuan salt. Lean pork and chicken breast are chopped into minced meat, after the soup is boiled, first put the minced pork into the soup, stir constantly, wait for the minced pork to float together with the foam in the soup, then salvage it clean, repeat several times, wait for the soup to become clear, then put in the minced chicken, skim off the foam again and again according to the previous method, until the soup is clear, then the clear soup is ready.

Finally, the boiled Chinese cabbage is put into a bowl with clear soup, steamed in the basket until it tastes, and a dish of boiling water cabbage is done.

As early as when Ning Xi was cooking soup in the small kitchen, several foodies smelled the fragrance and moved, and waited outside early, and when she brought out the pot of boiling water cabbage, she didn't need to say hello, Rong Daquan, Meng Shuangshuang, and An Mingyue obediently took their own dishes and chopsticks and sat at the table, and even Feng Zhihai, who was working on the side, couldn't help but quietly stretched his neck to see what she did.

Ning Xi couldn't help but laugh when he saw that he wanted to see it but didn't dare to look at it, and beckoned to him: "Come and eat together." ”

Feng Zhihai immediately blushed: "No, no need." ”

Meng Shuangshuang shouted at him: "If you want to come over, come here, what are you rubbing, in our place, everyone is like a family, don't bring such politeness." ”

Feng Zhihai walked over shyly.

An Mingyue said unhappily: "Okay, what are you calling him to come over for, it's not enough to eat, and you will score him a little." ”

Meng Shuangshuang glanced at her: "Why don't you Dao Ningxi teach you cooking?" Just because you are stingy, she can't look at it, don't look at this kid's newcomer, you can't compare with other people's energy, look at how well they cut cucumbers. ”

An Mingyue said disdainfully: "What's the use of cutting well, don't call me senior sister!" ”

Rong Daquan said impatiently: "Okay, okay, you just say a few words and see what Ningxi has made?" ”

When I took the lid off the pot, I saw a pot of clear soup inside, and a cabbage lay on it.

An Mingyue said disappointedly: "No, you have been busy for most of the day, so you boiled a cabbage with water!" ”

Meng Shuangshuang poked with chopsticks: "Even if it's cabbage, it's made by Ningxi, how can you know if it's delicious if you don't try it." I saw that the cabbage was steamed softly and softly, and a piece of vegetable was sandwiched, with a layer of warm luster in the snow-white, like mutton fat and white jade.

Put it in the mouth, only to feel soft and glutinous and smooth, and the layers of taste suddenly bloomed on the tip of the tongue, Meng Shuangshuang's eyes widened suddenly: "God, such a rich taste, is it really just boiled cabbage?" ”

Rong Daquan didn't talk as much as they did, he had already tasted it by himself, and he was intoxicated, and he shook his head: "Okay, it's really good, who would have thought that this little cabbage could have a lot of good fortune?" ”

Feng Zhihai said excitedly: "Miss Ning, is this dish what you plan to make at the food conference?" ”

Ning Xi didn't answer him for the time being, but only looked at Rong Daquan and said, "Brother Rong, did you say that this dish will arouse Princess Qi's interest?" ”

Rong Da showed a solemn look in his face, thought about it seriously, and said, "It's hard to say. ”

Meng Shuangshuang was not convinced: "Why can't it?" Have you ever seen anyone who can make cabbage so delicious? ”

Rong Daquan said: "Although this cabbage is delicious, when you two first saw each other, weren't you disappointed and said that it was just a cabbage?" You must know that the princess herself has no interest in food, and this dish does not have much attraction in appearance, if it does not attract the princess to taste it, how will she know the beauty of this dish? ”

Ning Xi sighed: "Brother Rong is reasonable, but people who suffer from anorexia are easily disgusted by the taste of food, and it is really not easy to make a food that can satisfy the princess with its color, flavor and taste!" ”

Meng Shuangshuang patted Ning Xi on the shoulder and comforted her: "It's okay, Ning Xi, if you think about it again, you will definitely be able to think of a suitable dish." ”
