Chapter Eighty-Four: Delicious Yellow Eel
The house is also very good, Cheng Lin touched the wall, there is no white powder, it seems that it has also been painted with latex. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At this time, many places are not painted with latex, and the clothes are white when you touch them.
The place name is a simple artificial brick, with a golden border and mottled dots, which match the wall very well.
After walking around, Ah Chao chose two rooms for them to stay in for the night.
"Ah Chao, don't be so troublesome, the two of us can squeeze it!"
There was only one room in the two rooms, and the other was his parents' room, which made Cheng Lin very embarrassed.
In his concept, the master bedroom (the head of the family) is generally not allowed to be entered, especially ordinary friends and the like.
On the one hand, the master bedroom is a couple's room, which is inconvenient.
On the other hand, there are valuables inside, and if anyone walks with unclean hands and feet, it is impossible to say. (My family was once taken away by a child for hundreds of years, and I didn't have to come back)
The bed in the guest room is also a big bed, more than enough for two people to sleep, and considering many aspects, Cheng Lin still feels that he and Wang Zhenjie are squeezed.
"Are two people panicking if they don't squeeze?"
Ah Chao was also a little embarrassed, he called the two of them over, but now he has to squeeze a room, which is a bit of a failure.
He himself is a scholar, and he is used to sleeping in one bed by one person, and he knows that it is a little awkward for two people to sleep, so he still said one more thing.
Wang Zhenjie didn't care, so he said: "It's okay, the bed is big, two people can sleep well!" ”
"That'll do!"
Since the two of them are nothing, Ah Chao will not force it.
Then I went downstairs and prepared dinner.
made a cup of tea for the two of them in the living room, asked Cheng Lin and the two to cook it for a while, and he went to prepare dinner.
"Hehe, Ah Chao, almighty?"
Ah Chao estimated that it was the first time he was praised like this, and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm used to it, I always have to eat at home alone, and I learned it slowly!" ”
This is the truth, he didn't know how to cook at first, and it was often half-cooked when cooked, let alone cooked.
He remembers that the first time he made himself a bowl of noodles was when he made it.
The garlic has been oiled for too long, and it is all black, and the noodles that are boiled are also black, but the food is very fragrant.
It's been a long time, so I'm not satisfied with this, and I'm slowly trying to cook and cook, which can be regarded as a bit of craftsmanship over the years.
During a summer vacation like this, he was alone at home, and the amount of rice he cooked in the morning was also the amount of one person, so it was not enough for three people to eat.
asked Cheng Lin and the others: "Do you eat noodles?" I don't have enough food today, so I can only eat noodles! ”
"Noodles? Okay, haha, it's so good to have yellow eel, yellow eel noodles are delicious! Wang Zhenjie didn't know what politeness was, so he ordered a big meal directly.
Yellow eel noodles are very convenient to eat in the store outside, and they are not very expensive, but it is very troublesome to get them at home.
The first trouble is a yellow eel!
To make the eel ready to eat, it must be slaughtered and gutted, then used boiling water to remove the mucus, and finally fried and matured.
That's all it takes, but it's cumbersome to do.
originally thought that Ah Chao knew about this dish, but he scratched his head and said with a puzzled expression: "Yellow eel noodles? How do you do this? ”
How?
Wang Zhenjie doesn't know, he can only eat, not cook!
So he set his sights on Cheng Lin!
"Alright! I'm coming, you're all here to beat my men! "Cheng Lin has seen it, and if he wants to eat yellow eel noodles tonight, he probably has to do it himself.
Come to think of it, he is also hungry for the taste of yellow eel noodles now.
However, there are two ways to make yellow eel noodles, and Cheng Lin didn't know what Wang Zhenjie wanted to eat, so he asked him: "Do you want to eat boiling soup or want to eat meat with meat?" ”
The soup is to make the yellow eel into soup first, and then cook the noodles.
Adding meat is the method used by many noodle restaurants now. Cook the noodles first, and then put a few pieces of yellow eel on top after the noodles are cooked.
The former tastes good, and the latter is to make as many yellow eels as you want, and add them if you don't have enough.
"One of the two? How to choose? I want to eat meat and drink soup again! Wang Zhenjie swayed and wanted to.
Although Ah Chao doesn't know the difference between the two, it's still early, and there are a lot of yellow eels, why don't you do it together?
He said: "You can do it all, there are a lot of yellow eels, and it is estimated that there will be food tomorrow!" ”
Wang Zhenjie's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Haha, Ah Chao is right, then make some and have a good time!" ”
It's not for you to do it!
If you have to do it, then the amount of yellow eel will be more.
"Brother Wang, you and Ah Chao go and choose some big ones and some small ones, and deal with them. You can eat as many big ones as you want, and small ones as little as you want! After a pause, he specially instructed Wang Zhenjie: "You have to be careful, the yellow eel will bite people, it hurts!" ”
"Yes!"
After the division of labor was clear, Cheng Lin came to the kitchen alone and groped for various kitchen utensils.
Kitchen knife! Well, it's ok, at least sharp.
Chopping board! Damn, what the hell, how long has it been since I washed it?
Oil, salt, sauce and vinegar! Yes, both.
Smell it left and look right, and find that the things are complete, but it may be that Ah Chao uses it alone, and some useless things have been put away for a long time and need to be washed.
He was washing things here, and Wang Zhenjie also started the slaughter here.
Killing yellow eels is very particular, first to remove the head (it feels very dirty without going to the head, and there is not much meat), and then disemboweling the abdomen to take the internal organs.
Originally, the yellow eel was slimy and very difficult to catch, and Wang Zhenjie thought that this work would not be easy. Unexpectedly, Ah Chao pinched his fingers and pinched a quasi, and then the knife fell in his hand, clicking, and a tail of yellow eels was beheaded.
He moved fast, but Wang Zhenjie couldn't stand it anymore, so he said: "Ah Chao, you slow down, I'm too late!" ”
"Uh...... I can help you when I get enough, isn't Xiao Cheng waiting? ”
Ah Chao's words made Wang Zhenjie shut up suddenly, and An An dealt with the yellow eel in parts.
I can't help but keep his mouth shut, if he says something more, Ah Chao will let him experience the lack of IQ with a word.
Ah Chao is very fast and skilled, and later the results surpassed Wang Zhenjie.
After washing and peeling, the rest of the thing is Cheng Lin's.
Cheng Lin didn't care about the two people who were watching him cook, he first selected the larger yellow eel and cut it into small pieces with a knife.
The water in the pot was also boiling, so the cut rhubarb eel was put under the ground first, and after a few minutes of boiling, it was scooped up.
The small yellow eel is not cut, it is boiled directly in the pot, and it is boiled until the meat can be torn off by hand before being fished out.
After washing the little yellow eel with water, he handed it to Wang Zhenjie and said, "Brother Wang, tear the meat into strips and remove the main bones!" ”
"Eh, do you want to tear it up so small?"
Tearing into strips is to better absorb the flavor when cooking, but now this yellow eel is so small, the thickness of the little finger, and it will rot if you tear it again!
Cheng Lin knew that it was not easy to get it, but he still said: "It's good to tear it off, it's cool when you eat it then!" ”
"Haha, then tear it up!"
When he heard that he was eating, Wang Zhenjie was also happy, and immediately started to move.
The big yellow eel here also cooled, so Cheng Lin washed it with water until there was no mucus before it began to burn.
He's going to make braised yellow eel, and I'll use it with noodles later!
Braised yellow eels should be marinated first to remove the fishy smell.
Slice the pickled ginger, cut the garlic into pieces, cut the green onion into circles with an oblique knife, cut the red pepper into sections, pour in the yellow eel and add a little to marinate for about ten minutes.
When the marinade is almost done, pour oil into the pot, add the garlic and ginger slices, stir-fry for a few seconds, and add the chili pepper.
After the bottom of the red pot, pour in the yellow eel and stir-fry for a while, then pour in cooking wine, light soy sauce, add half a spoon of sugar and stir-fry.
Then pour in an appropriate amount of water, cover half of the eel, cover the pot, simmer for ten minutes, add chopped green onions, reduce the juice over high heat, and you can put it on the plate.
A large plate of fragrant braised yellow eel came out of the pot like this, Cheng Lin tasted a section, the taste was sweet and strong, a very good side dish.
"I'll taste it too!"
Wang Zhenjie, who was on the side, saw that it was out of the pot, and immediately took the plate, and directly grabbed a section with his hand and threw it into his mouth.
"Wow, yes! It's just that the taste is not very authentic! After saying that, he ate another part.
Ah Chao was also curious, and also picked up a piece and tasted it.
But his words are much more pertinent, just two words: delicious!
Cheng Lin ignored Wang Zhenjie's words, this product can not be eaten, and he is very picky, so he only said to Ah Chao: "Ah Chao, you take it, don't give this person to steal it!" ”
"Well, okay!"
Next it's time to make the noodles!
The noodles that Ah Chao took out were dried noodles, which Cheng Lin was very familiar with.
So start boiling water, underneath, scoop the noodles, and overcool the water (to prevent the noodles from being too rotten).
Once the noodles are processed, it's time to start processing the eel.
Because in order to pursue the deliciousness of the yellow eel, Cheng Lin was not too oily, anyway, he had just cooked it in boiling water.
Heat the pot and pour a little oil, add the ginger shreds and chives and fry over low heat until fragrant, then pour in the eel shreds and an appropriate amount of water, and bring to a boil over high heat until the soup is milky white.
Then put the noodles down, cook them slightly, adjust the taste, and the yellow eel noodles are ready.
"Served!"
A large plate of noodles, packed in a large basin, filled with an attractive fragrance, was served to the table by Cheng Lin.
Wang Zhenjie and A Chao had been waiting for a long time, and Wang Zhenjie was still knocking on the bowl with chopsticks.
"You want to beg for food?"
In Cheng Lin's hometown, it is a very declining virtue to knock on the rice bowl with chopsticks, and in the words of the older generation, this is begging!
Wang Zhenjie didn't care about this, and after the noodles came up, he couldn't wait to take a bite and taste them.
"Well, yes, yes, it's slippery, it tastes just what I want!"
It is rare to be praised by him once, Cheng Lin is also very satisfied with his craftsmanship, and said: "It's really not easy to be praised by your Wang Dashao, it seems that you are indeed hungry today!" ”
While talking, I joined the battle for noodles, and after a while, I guess I will have soup.
After eating, several people moved out a stool (standard for the Eight Immortals table), and the three of them sat in the courtyard and chatted.
Taking a puff of his cigarette, Wang Zhenjie asked a question.
"What are we doing at night? Feed the mosquitoes here? ”
In the countryside, if there is any activity at night, you can catch frogs and catch them......
Wait a minute!
As soon as he thought of this, Cheng Lin thought that knowing this thing was also a good thing.
Delicious!
So he suggested: "Why don't you go and catch it at night?" ”
