Chapter Eighty-Nine: Removing the Sand and Flesh
Guan Lang naturally didn't know what An Xiaqing was thinking behind him.
Thinking that he was free from her entanglement, Guan Lang, who was in a good mood, whistled and went home.
This afternoon he plans to take up his culinary skills.
He is now at level 3 (5/15).
Originally, it was 4/15, but he tirelessly read cooking books in his spare time on weekdays, and his experience points increased a little.
In fact, even his current cooking skills are beyond expectation for a few months, but since there is still room for improvement, who will be easily satisfied?
The dishes he makes are the ones that suit his taste.
For example, when he is in a bad mood, he likes to be salty when cooking, which is different from the average person who likes to eat sweets when he is in a bad mood, and there are many small details like this, which only he knows.
So unless it is a terrible woman like Qin Yanxi who has extraordinary cooking skills, even if the average chef is slightly better than him, it may not be more suitable for his taste.
Therefore, it is necessary to practice cooking diligently, and in order to satisfy your appetite, even if it is lazy cancer, you must lower your priority.
Although some time ago, I learned a lot of cooking principles through reading, and at the same time learned some new dishes, but it is not enough to memorize the main points, Guan Lang wants to make it and try it, which can be regarded as a fusion of the knowledge in his head.
Of course, what he prepared so solemnly was not the home-cooked food he usually eats, but the dishes he learned from the recipes, and he had never eaten them in a restaurant outside, so he wanted to make them and try them himself.
Speaking of recipes, when he went to Taobao to buy recipes, he originally wanted to buy the famous "Chinese Recipes" series of books, which was written in the seventies of the last century and published in the eighties.
This is also the advantage of the planned economy, how can it be possible to pull out such a team to write a set of books in a time-consuming and laborious way, so many famous chefs have to lose a lot of economic value when they leave their posts, and it is impossible to contribute their own recipes to the bottom of the box without reservation.
It's a pity that Guan Lang couldn't find the old books on Taobao that have been out of print for many years, and there are no pirated copies, which is also magical.
I regretted that I could only buy a few more famous recipes, "Fengze Garden Recipes", Yuan Mei's "Suiyuan Food List" and so on.
Of course, although Guan Lang was disappointed at first, he later found out that he thought too much, and the hundreds of dishes in the north and south of the "Suiyuan Food List" alone made him have to learn for a while, after all, it was the painstaking food masterpiece of Yuan Mei, the third family of Qianjia.
Yuan Mei, a fourth-year jinshi of Qianlong, is a peculiar person, in today's words, he has an interesting soul. Others are gentlemen far away cooking, he is not, he not only has to visit the kitchen, but also open a farmhouse, regardless of identity, up to the nobles, down to the merchants and peddlers can enter the garden for consumption, at the same time he also continues to collect recipes, looking for famous chefs, and they learn from cooking, and finally write the experience into "Suiyuan Food List".
Guan Lang feels that he is quite similar to this famous man hundreds of years ago, although he has neither the talent for poetry nor the great achievement of compiling books to leave history, but both are foodies, which brings a strong sense of identity.
The dish I'm going to try today is desanded meat.
Peel and chop, use three chickens per catty, use both green and yellow, mix and mix meat; then chop, put in half a wine cup of autumn oil, mix well with minced green onions, wrap it in a piece of net oil; then use four taels of vegetable oil, fry on both sides, and get out the oil; use a teacup of good wine, half a wine cup of clear sauce, stuffy through, lift the slice; on the surface of the meat, add leeks, mushrooms, and bamboo shoots.
When Guan Lang first looked at the steps of the method, he could watch it for a long time, just like doing ancient Chinese questions in high school, and he had to go to the Internet to find out what "chicken", "net oil" and "autumn oil" were. In just a few lines of words, there is a lot of content mixed with it, or how to say that people are everyone, this choice of words and sentences is practice.
Autumn oil is actually the high-quality soy sauce with a complex process, which is the first soy sauce filtered out in late autumn after dog day exposure, which is more delicious and mellow.
The autumn oil has appeared seventy-two times in "Suiyuan Food List", which naturally attracted Guan Lang's attention.
However, it is also a pity that he does not have such a noble soy sauce on hand, and manufacturers such as "Haitian" and "Lee Kum Kee" do not sell such products, so Guan Lang can only use ordinary soy sauce instead.
After that, if you have time, you can start preparing to try brewing autumn oil, and see if it is really so delicious, and how different it is from ordinary soy sauce? Guan Lang muttered in his heart.
The ingredients are ready.
Throw the fried bean skin into a basin of warm water and soak until soft, and wash the side dishes such as leeks, mushrooms (shiitake mushrooms), and diced bamboo shoots.
Remove the fascia of the pork and cut it into small pieces the size of a little finger, beat in three eggs and mix well with the minced meat, and then cut into minced meat.
......
Guan Lang followed the translated cooking steps in a busy and orderly manner.
It's so exquisite!
Guan Lang thought that he was usually very meticulous and picky in cooking, but compared to Yuan Mei, it was nothing but a small thing.
There are dozens of steps in the process of desanding meat that is not visible and does not show water, frying, burning, boiling, and simmering.
After a dish of dishes is made, Guan Langxin is tired.
There was a bowl of white rice, Wuchang rice from Heilongjiang.
Guan Lang can't wait to try the taste, after all, he has wasted so much effort, if it is delicious, the next time he invites someone to dinner, he will have another killer signature dish, and it is also a delicacy that most restaurants and restaurants outside can't eat.
The desanded meat looks quite good, and the circle of golden and beautiful egg rolls-like meatloaf is arranged in a circle, drizzled with a layer of fresh and rich sauce, and a burst of aroma comes to the nose.
Guan Lang couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Grabbed the chopsticks, took a bite of half of the meatloaf, the taste of the bite is very wonderful, it is the feeling of changing layer by layer, the bean skin is fried to crispy, and the minced meat will not appear hard due to the addition of eggs, the entrance is particularly fragrant, the tooth scallops are passing through the different ingredients, all kinds of breaths and flavors rush into the mouth taste buds, in the mouth is like a small universe suddenly erupted.
It's delicious, isn't it?
Guan Lang wasn't sure if he had been hungry for too long, or because of the psychological effect, but he was very satisfied anyway.
Just take a few bites of rice, eat together, that happy feeling of satiety, let Guan Lang because of the previous complex process accumulated boredom swept away, but felt taken for granted, only such a cumbersome process can be worthy of this taste.
